The Chinese show little eagerness to
register under the provisions of the
Geary registration law, and IN some
places they are even being Influenced
by their more enlightened brethren not
to do so. A Chinaman will be arrested
in New York City on May 9Th, and a
test case made to find out whether or
not the law is constitutional.
The bland smile of the ex-postmaster
general today rivalled the genial sun
light. He seemed even more glad to
see everybody than everybody was to
see him, but those who were disap-
pointed may console themselves with
the thought that they are good men, and
that Wanamaker is good man and that
there is still chance in heaven.

The Geary Act.

Russ T. Chamberlin, us internal
revenue collector, arrived today, and
will give the Chinese an opportunity to
register if they wish. No photographs
are to be taken and there is nothing
humiliating about the experience, but it
is doubtful if they will do SO. They
merely have to swear that they have
been in the country since the 9th of May
last. They are then furnished with a
certificate allowing them residence.
After the 9Th of May, next, according to
the Geary law, if they cannot produce
this certificate they are to forfeit their
residence and must go beyond our
borders. Mr.. Chamberlin says that
the Chinese of the larger towns have
not registered, acting under the advice
of the Six Companies, but he has secured
some of the smaller towns unanimously,
such as Heppner, Hillsboro and Airing
ton. Mr.. Chamberlin must report in
Portland Monday.

Tho Last Meeting.

The last meeting of the whist club
was held last night, the host and hostess
being Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Wilson.
Three prizes were given, the ladies prize
being won by Miss Jennie Marden, the
gentleman's prize by G. E. Bayard, and
the BOBBY by Mr.. Hobson. After the
whist playing there was an excellent
banquet furnished by Keller and Genres,
at which the guests did ample justice.
The hosts then gave dance, Miss Alma
Schmidt furnishing music on the piano.
An adjournment was then taken until
next November. These parties have
been one of the pleasantest pastimes of
the winter, which accounts for their
lingering so far into the summer.

Mr.. Phil Brogan of Antelope came in

his good commercial training, spoiled
the sale by telling him they were made

master general next went to Sam Kline's

he maybe assured are genuine, though
his experience at the dry goods store
may have somewhat dampened his ar
dor for a large purchase. The train
was delayed few minutes by the trans
action, but the obliging conductor, with
that good breeding characteristic of all
Americans, never showed any perturb-
alton or annoyance.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Martin $. Shredder Killed While Re-
turning from the Picnic.

HkarL1n .. SnrO60ef A1lleQ w nile re-
turning from the Picnic.
After the pleasures OF the picnic at
Cascade Locks yesterday, a gloom was
cast over the whole party on the return
trip by the accidental death of Martin
Shredder. The Regulator had proceeded
about five miles on its homeward jour
ney, when the cry was raised "man
overheard and the wheels were at
once stopped. In the rear of the boat
was seen the body of the boy still float
ing, and in fact had not sunk at all.
There was no struggle and it was evil
dent the boy was stunned. The boat
was reversed, and in a very short time
was alongside the body, when it was
recovered with boat hook and brought
to the deck. Efforts were made to re-
suscitate the boy, but without avail.
The testimony at the coroner's inquest
developed the fact that the boy had been
jumping in the stairway, and had in
some way lost his footing and struck his
head in such way as to produce un-
consciousness, falling to the foot of the
stairs and thence off the side of the boat.
No one is to blame for the casualty, and
it proved to be one of those unavoidable
calamities which cannot be foreseen or
averted.
When Shredder first fell overheard
William Scott, deck hand, without a
moments pause, jumped overheard and
tried to reach the boy, and would have
done SO had not the greater speed of the
boat anticipated him. He was drawn
in thoroughly chilled by the ice. cold
water, and for time was so weak and
benumbed as to require attention him
self. He performed hero's part, how
ever, in risking his life to save a passen-
ger. The D. F. & A. N. Co. showed
their appreciation of the brave mans
services by rendering him $50 cash
reward.
The boy did not come to his death by
drowning, but by some violent knock, of
which two bruises on the head give evil
dence, the one on the temple being said
| by the doctors as sufficient to cause un-
consciousness.
Martin S. Shredder is IL years old, and
is the son of Mrs. M. Shredder, now Mrs.
Wedekind. Shredder was killed some
years ago in a wreck at the Cascades.
IAnother.child of Mrs. Wedekind (Schre-
Hder) is still living.
The following is the verdict of the
coroner's jury:
coRoNER's VERDICT.
We, the jury impanneled to inquire
into the cause of the death of Martin
Shredder, who came to his death by
drowning in the Columbia river April
26th, 1898, hereby find that the said
deceased came to his death by an una
voidable accident, by falling overheard
the steamer Regulator, and we further
find that the officers and management
of the d. p. & A. N. Co. used every
effort to rescue the deceased and hereby
exonerate said company, both officers
and management, from any blame or
carelessness connected with the death of
deceased.

The late ones reaching their seats
crowd from the aisles to make room. A
man with hard, white legs showing from
under the coat thrown over his shoulders
ducks between the ropes and walks to his
corner. Three men in shirt-sleeves fol
low, carrying bucket, BOTTLES, sponges
and towels. The fighter has his friends.
They call him by name away up on the
top seats.
Another pair of legs between the ropes,
more seconds, another corner occupied
and the referee has come with the gloves.
The benches are again buzzing as the
coats come off and the naked fighting
parts are seen in the glare of light. They
are putting on the gloves. The gong
sounds. The fighters, cycling each other,
step nimbly to the center of the ring and
shake hands, then fall back to their
chairs.
They are still watching each other in a
hard, questioning way. The seconds drop
down from the corners.

HARD CHINESE PUNs.
THE Squeak of the Celestial Pig" and
it's Equivalent in English.
From the Fortnightly Review.

AOtil viz Il VI tllABHbly IONlON'
1t is necessary, at the outset, to appre-
ciate three Chinese puns Among the
many sectarian differences which have
led Cinnamon to imagine that foreigners
have so many different religions, those re-
garding the proper name for God hold
prominent rank. English Protestants use
Shang Te, while Americans have coined
Chen Shen, and ROmanists have invented
lien Chu, which means Heavens LORD,
neither being willing to admit
that the Chinese expression Tien
(Heaven) implies a personal God. And
so, the Chinese for religion being 'klau,
the term Tien Chu Kiau has come to eX"
press Roman Christianity. But there is,
unfortunately, another word having the
sound of chu which means pig, ana
another word pronounced kiau when
means squeak; so that the way OF the
satirist was clear for converting Ike
ligion of the Lord of Heaven" into
Squeak Of the Celestial Pig.p
A common term for foreigners, again IS
Yang Jen, meaning sea men, or men from
the sea but there is another word having
the sound yang, which means goat
Caricatures of pigs and goats are there
fore used to depict missionaries and their
converts, while a means of ylhtylnB

worship is readily suggested. Garcia
