That Was the Way the Cornerstone OF the
staten Island Church Was Laid.
The laying Of cornerstone at night is
the novel sight that was witnessed at
Stapleton, N. Y, the other evening, when
the construction Of the new First Pres
byterian church was formally inaugu-
rated amid the glare Of torches and cleo
trio lights. d +49sgsaaq
The First Presbyterian church of Sta
pleton is one Of the wealthiest and most
fashionable congregations on Staten Is
land, but it has hitherto worshiped in a
small and unpretentious edifce. Recent
ly it decided to erect new and hand
some church, to cost large sum of
money, and the members hit upon the
novel plan of laying the cornerstone at
night to mako the occasion memorable.
Electric lights strung were from diff
ferent points and in such manner as to
throw the full glare directly on the spot
where the cornerstone was placed. AS
the illumination, however, was hardly
strong enough to read by, number of
people stood about the officiating clergy
men holding pine torches, thus enabling
the services to be carried out without
hitch.
Owing to the novelty of the idea of
laying cornerstone at night, there was
a large attendance at the ceremony,
prominent society people from all parts
of the island being present.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

The Astors and Mrs. Drayton.

Just as I supposed, Mr.. Jack Astor
has come out with fiat footed denial
that he has given cent to his sister,
Mrs. Coleman Drayton. AS for the
house, everybody knew that was a part
of the marriage settlement made by the
late Mr.. William Astor upon his daugh-
ter.
From the very emphatic denial of Jack
Astor that he has anything to do with
setting his sister up in her old establish
ment at 374 Fifth avenue it does not
look as if he intended to do much in the
way of helping her along.
The Willie Wallie Astors, living as they
do at Cliveden and Lansdowne House
In England, scorn the whole business
and are probably only too delighted to
see "tbe" Mrs. Astor, their esteemed
aunt, fixed in the very tight box she oc-
cupies at present.-Cholly Knickerbock-
er in New York Recorder.

THE NEW CHINESE BILL.
The Photograph Provision and the Decia
ration Concerning Merchants.

The Photograph Provision and the Decla-
ration Concerning Merchants.
The senate of the United States on the
day before its adjournment passed the
act for the amendment of the Geary ex-
clusion law precisely as it came from
the house. In view OF this decision and
of the overwhelming majority which the
measure had received in the house, it
must stand as the matured expression of
the Judgment of the representatives of
the American people as whole.
1t is rather noteworthy that while the
period Of extension granted to the Chi
nese for registration is six months after
the enactment of this new law, the time
will expire during the first week Of next
May, or almost exactly one year after
the period fixed in the original Geary
act. That year will have taught much
to our Mongolian fellow residents, and
they may be expected to avail themselves
almost to man of the privilege now ac-
corded by congress.
The new law requires of the applicant
a photograph, and this provision has
sometimes been stigmatized as import
ing rogues' gallery methods into its ex-
ecution. This criticism is not sound.
Many railroads. as was pointed out in
the house debate, in giving their most
favored customers the privilege of what
are known as 1000 mile tickets for low
er price than ordinary mileage rates, re-
quire that upon such a ticket shall be
placed not only the purchasers name,
but his photograph, in order that no.
body else may use it. Most of those
persons who had season tickets of free
admission to the Chicago fair were in
like manner obliged to attach their pho
tographs to the tickets. In these and
similar cases the purpose is not humilia-
ton, but Identification, SO that privileges
granted may not be misused by persons
who come wrongly into possession of
them. That is exactly the case with the
Chinese, and there is nothing else in the
requirement Of photograph for the cer-
tifcate of protection.
Another important new feature of the
amendment act is that which defines the
word merchant" as used in the Geary
law. No one can question that it is bet
ter to have precise description Of what
Is intended by this term than that it
should be left to conjeotural interpreta-
tion outside of the lawmaking power.
A merchant is now declared to be, for
the purpose of this act, "a person en-
gagged in buying and selling merchandise
at fixed place Of business, which bust
ness is conducted in his name, and who,
during the time he claims to be engaged
as merchant, does not engage In the
performance of any manual labor, ex-
cept such as is necessary in the conduct
of his business as such merchant" This
does not appear to be an unjust definition,
or one unduly strained for the purpose of
excluding persons from the status of
merchants who are fairly entitled to it.
But however that may be, the words
thus used in the amended act are direct
ly drawn from similar. definitions, either
in preceding Chinese exclusion acts or
in existing treasury decisions interpret
ing those acts and establishing rules for
their execution.-New York Sun.

DENVER, Aug S-After showing at consid-

its leader on the message as follows:
Taken as a whole the presidents mes
