COURTESY OF THE cELEsTlALs.

Tho Gentle Manners of tho Chinese Lower
Glasses Surprising to Americans.
The Chinese are, as a race, the most
courteous people I have ever come In
contact with, says a writer in the
Arena. When It is taken into consid-
Grafton that a majority Of the Chinese
who come TO this country belong to
the lower or lowest class their gentle
manners are truly surprising. have
seen parties of well-dressed Americans
go into one Of their stores, poke about
among the goods, or wander into the
clubroom, watch the games, handle the
instruments of the orchestra and ask
all sorts Of questions concerning them.
The intruders were treated as well
come guests, their questions answered,
and tea, CONNECTIONS and cigarettes
offered them on departure. Fancy the
reception that would be accorded to a
party Of unidentified Chinese who at
tempted TO take look through one OF
our own fashionable clubs. In the res
taurant their conduct Is the same.
imagine that II three or four Chinese
were to take it into their heads to dine
at one Of our uptown restaurants they
would be subjected to many unpleasant
remarks, probably some insolence from
the walters, and, II they should prove
as awkward in handling the knife and
fork as the average American is with
the chopsticks, would cause considera.
bic merriment among the other guests.
But In Mott street the practice of
good breeding is different. Time and
again have seen some good-natured
Chinese let his own dinner grow cold
that he might show some clumsy Ameri-
can stranger who was struggling with
the chopsticks how TO use those elusive
but useful implements. II is n very
simple trick after 1t Is learned, and one
which / have often found useful OF
other places than at table in Chi
nese restaurant. Once mastered, with
a couple Of pencils one can improvise
very serviceable pair Of tongs to pick
up bee or struggling worm, a bit Of
hot metal, or any such small object
which one does not care 10 touch with
ones fingers. The first stick should be
held rigidly, about three inches from
the lower end, between the ball of the
second finger, tho first joint Of the
thumb and the hand, Just below the
lnuckle joint Of the first flnger-very
much, in fact, rs q clumsy schoolboy
holds his pen. The second stick should
be held almost exactly as good PEN
man holds his pen, lightly, between
the ball Of the thumb and Of the first
finger, slightly resting along and
steadied by that finger, to Just between
the second and knuckle joints. Chi
nese meats are all served cut into small
pieces, so MS to be readily eaten with
chopsticks, thus materially reducing
the labor of dining.

MANTENo, ILL.,, Sept 19.-At 9:20 last

A STRANGE MOCK TRIAL.

Conducted by Six Murderers, All OF Whom
D. -. Wero Under Sentence OF Death
The most singular trial ON record
was that held In the Tombs O few years
ago, says the New York Press. 1t was
trial by jury in which the court and
the counsel were composed Of men un-
der sentence Of death and literally hv-
ing in the shadow Of the gsllows.
After the attempted escape OF Danny
Lyons and Danny Driscon had been
frustrated Warden Osborne conceived
and carried into execution scheme
which made like attempts out Of the
question. Murderers' row in the old
building was vacated and the ground
floor Of the left corridor in the new "teD-
day" house fitted up for the reception
and safe keeping Of those doomed To
death according TO law. The war
denis idea was novel ono. he
had screen Of strong wire built from
between each cells door TO the win
dows on the opposite side OF the corri-
dor. This gave each convict separate
space to walk In for exercise. The
desth-watch occupied chairs between
each screen and the men were con-
stsntly In their sight 1t also allowed
them 10 see each other and their visit
ing friends and TO converse when they
felt In that mood. The first 10 occupy
the cells were six men convicted OF
murder In the first degree and sem
tenced 10 be hanged In the Tombs-
They were Giblin, Psokenham, CARO-
lin, Lewis, Nolan and Carleton. They
were all executed except Giblin, who
killed baker named Gets. His SEN
tenoe was oommuted TO imprisonment
for life. Carleton, who was known by
the sobriquet OF Handsome Harry"
who shot and killed Officer Brennan,
was the last TO be hanged and was the
last one executed In the Tombs.
Sunday Is always the dullest day In
the Tombs. for no visitors are admit
ted, and the condemned were left 10
their own sad thoughts Gbnn pro-
posed that they try one of their num-
Der by jury, and Carolin, who chopped
his unfortunate wife 10 death with
hatchet, was singled out 10 be tried.
''Oid man" Psckenham, who killed his
wife with a pair Of scissors, was made
Judge; Giblin, district attorneyj Carle-
ton, counsel for the defense, and Lewis
and Nolan the jury. After the consent
of Deputy Sheriff Caraher was given
the trial proceeded, every part Of the
judicial programme being minutely
carried out, even TO putting Carolin on
the stand TO testify In his own behalf.
But despite the argument Of Carleton
that it could only be manslaugh and
not murder, the jury found him guilty
without leaving their seats. The ef-
feet on Carolin, the deputy sheriff said,
was painful and pitiful to witness. He
never raised his eyes while "old man"
Peckenham sentenced him to die on
the Goth Of August, 1889. From that
day he seemed to weaken and the au-
thorities were afraid he would break
down completely. Fathers Pendergast
and Galenas, with the sisters, who
were daily In attendance, tried TO COM
fort and rally him, but without avail.
The verdict Of his fellows had almost
killed him.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, Sept, 2s.-Pres. Cleveland
IS slowly but surely finding out that there
are some things which even president
with a powerful will cannot do, and one OF
these things is to compel the United States
senate to vote upon bill before its men,
bers get good and ready. A week ago the
announcement was made that having be-
come tired of the delay, Pres. Cleveland
intended to personally force vote on the
Voorhees, repeal bill. Well, the vote has
not been taken and there is no indication
that it will be very soon.
The democrats In the house haye, Tor
the purpose of getting the bill repeating
all laws authorizing federal supervision
of presidential and congressional elections
before the house, adopted the most outrag-
eous cloiture rule ever suggested to a
legislative body, rule Of which Repre-
sensitive Burrows truly says, I'm the
ffty.first congress all that we eyer did was
TO cut off dilatory motions; but now, II
the capitol should fall down or take fire
while the committees were being called
we could not even take recess"
The closing days Of the tariff hearings
were made exciting and decidedly un-
pleasant for Chairman Wilson and his
free trade democratic colleagues on the
house ways and means committee by the
presence of one hundred prominent DEM
ocrats from the states Of Maryland. Vir-
ginia and West Virginia, who demanded
that the tariff on bituminous coal be let
alone. Mr.. Wilson and colleagues we're
told that if they removed the tariff on coal
they would kill one OF the most import
ant industries Of those three states, to say
nothing OF all chance for keeping those
states in the democratic column. The
men who publicly made those statements
were not confined TO those personally in.
terested in the mining and transportation
OF coal, but included such prominent DEM
ocrats as Gov. McCorkle ct west virginia
The public statements Of these democratic
protectionists created sensation among
the democratic free traders in congress,
but their private talk created panic in
the same class.
The nomination OF VIM. 3. Hornblower,
of New York, to the vacancy in the su.
preme court OF the United States, is said
to ba In the nature of repayment of GER
tain personal obligations in which were
involved some very fat legal fees which
Mr.. Hornblower by reason ol. his connec'
tion with large and wealthy life insur
ance company threw 10 the way Of Pres.
Cleveland when he was practising law in
New York several years ago. The
ability Of Mr.. Hornblower is unquestioned
but his nomination is nevertheless very
distasteful to the New York senators.
