STREET DISTRACTIONS.
Judge kimbaIl Thinks the Law
should BE Uniformly Enforced.

Several days ago Judge Kimball addressed
a letter to the Commissioners calling atten-
ton to the prosecutions under the law pro-
hibiting certain alleged distractions in
front of houses. These prosecutions are
generally against business men for the
erection of signs or awnings in violation of
law. In almost every case tried the defend
ant complains of similar Instructions on the
part of his neighbors, and for which the lat
ter are not prosecuted. These complaints
have made the infiiction of the penalty a
matter of embarrassment to the court. and
because there has not been any uniformity
in the matter Of these prosecutions the
judge wrote the letter. He thinks il not
exactly fair that the police should prosecute
only one of a number violating the same
law.
The letter was referred to the attorney
who, In his report, quotes the different laws
on this subject, and concludes: Il would
suggest that Judge Kimbalrs communica-
ton be called to the attention of the police
department, since he complains that The
police neglect to enforce the ordinances in
regard to street distractions, in order that
the matter complained OF may be cor
rected."

AN INTERESTING OCCASION.
Farewell Reception to Rev. Mr.White,
Missionary to China.

Rev. Hugh w. White, now under appoint
ment as missionary to China, and who ex-
poets to start for his new field in July or
early in August. was rendered a farewell
reception last evening by the Laura PitZer
Missionary Circle of the Central Presby-
terrain Church. The chapel was very taste
fully decorated with flowers, and the walls
were hung with crayon sketches, flags of
the various missionary countries and in
teresting curios, which had been collected
and used in connection with the work of
the circle during the year. Pretty girls in
becoming evening dresses made the scene
a fair one.
Rev. DIR. A. w. Pitzer presided. and in
few words spoke of the interest the church
took In having its own missionary and told
how the idea was first started about a year
ago, with an individual contribution Of 800.
around which others had steadily gathered.
A hymn was sung by members of the ju-
nior society, and then Mr.. White very
briefly told how he came to select China as
the field for his labors and briefly outlined
his plans. He referred to the fact that
China is, numerically, the greatest nation
on the face Of the earth, and 1t is the key
to the whole Monaghan race, and, though
India and Africa have vast numbers of I'M
evangelical, yet the number Is not so great
as in the teeming provinces of the celestial
empire Mr.. White noted the fact that
nearly all of the missionary effort now be-
Ing carried on in China is confined to the
coast and the treaty cities. He said it was
his plan, as soon as he had mastered the
language to push out into the interior,
where the Gospel had never yet been car
ried. Mr. Whites remarks were earnest,
and his fervid manner and noble self
sacrifice produced deep impression on the
large audience assembled to bid him good
bye and God-speed.
During the evening Mrs. Pitzer the presi-
dent of the missionary circle was presented
with beautiful hand-painted plaque, the
work of Miss Edith Smith, as token of
the love and affection of the society to
its president. Mr.. Thomas C. Barr pre-
scented the gift with a few well-chosen
words, which We're responded to by DR..
Pitzer on behalf of his wife. Refreshments
were served at the close of the more for
mai part of the program and Mr.. White
was given much advice and encouragement
and many handshakes as the company dis
persed. Mr.. White is to go to China as the
missionary of the Central Presbyterian
Church of this city, in connection with the
Louden Street Church of Winchester, Va,
OF which his father, Rev. Henry NJ. White,
is the pastor.

Apples, eggs and cabbages, which are

eastern and western farmers, are put
upon the free list SO as to suffer from
competition with the almost pauper Ia
Dor Of Canada, but
Rice, which is exclusively q southern
product, has been the object Of very ten
der care and solicitude. Mr.. Wilson and
his confreres had forgotten, when rice
was under consideration, the proposition
which they laid down of ad valorem du-
ties being the only proper ones, and pro-
tected their darling southern product,
rice, by making specific d1sties covering
every possible form in which the article
could be imported. The duty on cleaned
rice reduced to an ad valorem basis is
$3.50 per cent, but these gentlemen have
informed the northern manufacturers Of
wooden and worsted goods that the coun-
try would not submit to higher ad va
lorem duties than 40 per cent.
