this afternoon ruled that Git Toon, the
Chinese wife, and All Ioon. child Of
Que Hoo, a Chinese merchant Of AS
toria, were entitled to land. Cit Foon
and Que Hoo were married in China ten
years ago and came to America. where
All Loon was born. in Astoria. The
woman and little girl returned to China
two years ago. With the application foi
a writ Of habeas corpus the original
marriage certificate or contact was pro
duced, with an English translation Of
same. The certificate sets forth the
Identity OF the parties in minute de.
tail. The collector OF Astoria refused to
land the woman and child on the ground
of the invalidity Of the marriage con.
tract Judge Bellinger in commenting
on the case, said the contract was
worthless, but the fact OF the cohabita
tion of the parties as husband and
wife. which was proven was prima
facle evidence OF marriage. "There are
few persons in Oregon" he said. "wht
could prove their marriage in any Other
way, particularly those married in for

term, and that tariff reform by which
the Democratic victory Of 'o2 was won
is the cheapest kind OF demagogy.
Yet, despite the cheapness OF the
means employed, It has proven to be the
most expensive, damaging, and disas-
trous lesson in the experience OF the
American people. II these "reformersp

Mr.. Eckhardt, of the Queens
Hospital, was asked by telephone
last evening, at half-past 8, if he
would tell the condition of Mrs.
Ash, the woman who was sup
posed to have attempted suicide on
Wednesday evening. He replied,
in no pleasant voice, that that was
no time to ask the condition of ally
patient. Consequently, it is i'm
possible to state how Mrs. Ash is
getting along, whether improving
or not. The last account of her
condition in the afternoon, how
ever, was that she was out of
danger.
Mr.. Eckhardt's most courteous
treatment is fully appreciated by
