nouinr Down to Visitors.

We arc not giving ourselves any un-
easiness about the visit of the lnfanta
Eulalie to Chicago. All this talk about
our inability to keep up our end of the
rules of etiquette is simply so much tic-
,ion calculated to belittle our cultured
society Chicago has not been idle the
last four years. Ever since the immortal
Professor A. j. Fishbladder came into
the midst of us and taught us how to eat
peas with Il fork we have been able to
hold our own against the rest of creation.
There was a time when some uncouth
elements in our society denounced Fish
bladder as a charlatan. All these per-
secutions did Fishbladder suffer with the
patient, unprotesting meellness of a
medieval Christian martyr. and now, lc
and behold, the harvest has come, and we
glory in the fruition OF his teachings.
1t is to Fishbladder that we are large.
ly indebted for our ability to toady, mis-
cellaneously and abjectedly, to the vast
and unassorted lot of foreign titled min
compoops and knaves that is being
spawned upon this country at this time

of Indoor Etiquette" holds out its saving
grace we need have no fear for Chica
go's culture, and we can confidently

Death From a Tootl.ache Cure.

Simon EiGtzer, leading citizen OF
Hunmeltown. had been suffering for
two days With toothache. On Monday
evening n stranger called at his house
and said he was Il travelling toothache
doctor and had Il magic cure which
would relieve the worst case i'll short
time. He induced kintZer to let him
try the cure on him. He applied some
strong liquid to the aching gum. and in
a short time the pain became easier and
finally ceased kintzer gladly paid the
stranger his fee of 81 and the man went
away.
An hour later Eintzer's tooth began to
pain again. and soon he was in greate,
agony than ever. lis jaw became
swollen and badly inhamed. and the pain
extended to his head and neck. Early
yesterday morning a physician was sent
for. kintzcr having become insane from
pain. The doctor pronounced him suf-
feriEg from blood poisoning induced by
the stuff the stranger had used Oh his
gums. An hour later Kintzer died. No
one knows who was the travelling dentist,
and no trace of him has been found.
Kintzcr was 81 years old.-Cor. Pitts

The Geary Chinese act is one of the most tn-
human acts that ever were placed upon any
statute book.-Buaton Herald.
This is u very highly exaggerated state
ment. The act merely requires Chinese
residents to register their names, as those
of Americans resident in China are reg
istered. No Chinese who obeys it will
be expelled from this country or sub
jectcd to any trouble whatever. The
penalty for disobeying it is far milder
than the Chinese penalty for disobeying
any edict. 1t is not a law for the ex-
pulsion of the Chinese, or that restricts
any right of the Chinese, or that intiicts
any wrong upon the Chinese. or that
ought to disturb the Chinese, or that
would disturb them in the least if they
took the trouble to give heed to it.
A law Of tho same kind, applicable to
Americans and other foreigners resident
in France, was adopted by the French
chambers last month. The new French
"alien law" provides that any foreigner
arriving at or living in any place in
France and desiring to engage in any in
dustry or profession shall within a wecl;
register his name at the prefecture of po'
lice, make declaration of his intention
and furnish satisfactory proof of his iden,
tity, after which he shall receive a GER
titicate which he must retain, and which,
in the event of his removal to any other
place must be vised within two days
The provisions of the French law are
fully as rigorous as those of our Chinese
registration law, and it has been strictly
enforced since its enactment few weeks
ago.-New York Sun.
