clause of tbs new judiciary bill, which
provides that grand jurors may not be
compelled to serve more than one week,
charcterizes it AS an oversight. The bill
was framed under pressure OF haste. and
Il is not surprising that some unwise pro-
visions have crept into it. Whether
Jurors will refuse to serve further at the
end of their allotted week, should further
duty demand 1t, Is q matter OF circum-
stance They may legally refuse Co do 40,
and thus compel the empanelling OF
new jury. 1t is likely, however. that this
error In the bill will be rectided.

A novel double wedding took place In
this city yesterday. in which two races
were joined together In matrimony-
America and China. The ceremony took
place. not In a church, not In joss house,
but In the law Office OF well-known
member OF the bar. In the afternoon

women walked into the Office OF

company quite recently. who OF late
hailed from Brooklyn, but was bcrn in
the South. She Is petite brunette
Miss Shepard is also white and young
and has been employed as waitress In
restaurant In the central part OF the city.
She, too, comes from Brooklyn.
The officiating clergy man was Rev.
Charles II. Plummer, Congregational
ist who ties about all the matrimonial
knots for the people of lowly life and
those who seek marriage without ostenta-
tion. The witnesses were Cunnie f. Sing
aud Josie Maria Yea, white women aud
the wives OF Chinese laundrymen doing
business in Boston.
Last nigh the party took the train for
Bos; on, whers in the Chinese quarter on
Harris n avenue q big jubilee was held.
and the entire Chinese colony attended.
There are some thirty wnits women
married to Cinnamon ia the Bos-
ton colony, and they lead fairly
happy lives, so il is said. though they are
jealously guarded by their Mongolian
husbands. Still, when one listens to the
beating OF the tom toms, the twang Of
the Chinese guitars and the heathenish

celebrated, and then looks ut the swarms

Of the houses, aud living apparently in
hQualor, one cannot help pitying the
white wives OF these foreigners. Yet
perhaps their lots are not half as dfsa-
greable as one might imagine. Their
Mongolian spouses shower them with
gifts, are generous with the ir money and
treat them kindly.
1t is observed by habitues OF the city

the little woman who is rs fresh and we'll

use for patchouli and the dull Oriental per-
fumes that give the exquisite shu iders Of
disgust. She likes fresh, clean-smelling
perfumes. like Jacoue zoe. violet aud

makes soft, narrow sachets or cheese
