MRS. CHlCKERISG WANTS $50, 900.
Claim Against the Big Piano Manufacture
That Recalls an Old Story.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-Mrs. Gararella o.
Chickering has begun an action in tho
6upreme Court TO recover $4,000 from
George III. Chickering. senior member of
the firm of Chickering IL Sons, pianomanu-
fsnturers. She is the widow of Charles f.
Chickering. and claims that at the time Of
her husbands death, March 81, 1891. he was
possessed of 495 shares of the corporation
of Chickering & Sons. and that the concern
owed him $4,000 besides. She was made
sole executrix of his will and
all his property was left to her.
In her capacity as executrIx she
sold the stock and the $4,000 claim to
George III. Chickering for $4,000. but her
brother-in-law has never paid her. In his
answer to Mrs Chickering'S allegations
teorge acknowledges that he made the
agreement to pay $4,000 to her. but says
that his brother was defaulter to the old
firm for s232. 727. George alleges that the
whole amount of the claim against his
brothers account of the old firm and the
corporation-taking into consideration an
agreed compromise OF S2S2,727 at 20 per
cent.--reaebes Sl9l. .749.11.

CHINESE TO BE DEPORTED.
They Have Refused to Register Under the
Geary Act, and Must Go Back to China.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL. Feb. 16-Collector
of Internal Revenue Quinn. who is in
charge of the Chinese registration at shis
point. is already laying plans for tho de-
portation of the Chinese who refuse to
register, according to the provisions of the
Geary act. The government means ousI-
ness" said Collector Quinn, "and proposes
to complete the work Mr.. Geary began.
The Chinese do not intend to register. as
has been already shown. They imagined
that when the deputies were removed the
bill had become null and void. They pro-
posed fighting us in court and the question
arose as TO what arrangements we could
make 70 take care of them pending the
hearing in the court. Well. the govern
ment will show them. There are fifty
thousand Chinese in my district, and they
calculated on defying us because We had
no Jail room. i think We can quarter at
when we have deported those We will go
after the rest"
How will you proceed to enforce the
lawp was asked.
THAT Will be very simple. After the ex-
plration OF the time for registration / will
call out the men and arrest every China
man that cannot show q certificate of reg
istratiOn. We Will send them to Goat
island as last as we get ug-load. The
Chinese themselves will lose no time i'm
getting into court, for we propose to ship
them out of the country as fast as possible,
A large majority of them will have to go
back to China. because. even If they were
to start to register tomorrow, the work
could not be finished with fifteen deputies
working ten hours o day. We still have
$4,000 of the appropriation. and with this
amount of money we can do some good.
think American war ships can be brought
into requisition in the deportation of the
men. 1t will only be q matter of time
when the country will be freed of Chinese"
Not Enough Money to Deport the Chinese.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-No action has
been taken or is likely to be taken by the
Treasury Department. other than already
published to carry out the provisions of the
Chinese exclusion act, otherw Use known as
the Geary bill. 1t Is cOmpu ted at the Treas
ury Departments that there no. 900 Chinese
persons within the borders OF the United
States. The price per head for the deporta-
tion of q Chinese person from San Francis
CO to China is SS5 and the whole amount
appropriated by the last Congress for car
rying into effect the Chinese exclusion act
amounted TO Sl00. 600. hich would be total
ly inadequate for the wholesale deporta-
tion of Chinese in case they did not comply
with the act as regards registration. Even
of this 100000, at the expiration of the fis-
cal year. only about $4,000 will remain
available for deportation expenses.

1t were, by one passage of the machine

Mr.. John Worth. in .The
Nineteenth Century, . gives some
striking facts about the rapid ex.
termination of tine birds of North
America. The advent of the
plough and the frame hut of the
settler is gradually driving the
feathered tribe from it's old
haunts, and when nests are
spared by the plough they are
onlytoo often destroyed byprairie
fires. The heath hen used to be
seen in autumn in packs of from
100 to 200 birds in each; now the
number in a covey rarely exceeds
six or eight. The sharp tailed.
grouse and the wild turkey will
soon follow the bison and the
moose into the animalia OF the
past. Professor Roney asserts
in 1.-The Chicago Field" that in
one of the vast breeding colonies
alone some 1000, 900, 900 pigeons
were sacrificed to Mammon'
during one nesting season, and
even allowing for exaggeration
the extent of the slaughter is be.
You'd question. The remedy is
not easy to seek. Mr.. Worth
suggest an act of Congress to
prevent bird destruction through
out the United States.
