wooEa IN CUSTOMARY CHINESE FASHION.
Bappy Times Among the Celestial Residents Of
Denvr's ChinaOwn-A Queer Mixing Of Amer
lean and Chinese Customs

Lily, the fair daughter Of Lin Sou,
was yesterday transplanted from the
bosom Of her fathers household to the
tender arms OF Lok Wing Yuen, the
wealthy Chinese merchant OF 2O47 Mar
kst street, who has so long sued for her
heart and hand. The wedding ceremo-
ny was performed at the residence OF
the brides father, 1923 Arapahoe street.
and the attendant festivities were tri-
umph OF oriental gOrgeousness. JUS
tics Of the Peace James Il. Carter made
one of.the two faithful Chinese lovers &C
Cording 20 American civil law, says the
DCNUCr Republican.
Miss S0u, besides her great personal
beauty snd engaging manners, enjoys
the distinction Of being the first child
born OF Chinese parents 10 Colorado.
Her father is a Colorado pioneer who
came to this State ia 1S6l and engaged
in mining around Black Hawk. IL was
there that Lily, his irSt-bOrn, opened
her obliQue eyes upon the world, nearly
tWenty-One years ago.
Tae wOOing was romance smacking
Of the fin de steele style Of the United
States and the semi-baroarism OF the
orient. Lok Wing Muen had never
seen Miss Sou, but from her home at
Black Hawk report brought 10 his Chi
nese store on Market street wonderful
stories Of her beauty and Rraces.
Lok listened with greedy ear 70
these tales, and then be thought
OF his lonely life among the lilies,
nuts, opium and other wares in his
dingy little shop. He concluded that IL
was not good for man 20 live alone. The
Chinese are a practical people, and
there is no nonsense about their love-
making. When a celestial settles upon
1 woman sor his wife he buys her just
rs he would any other ware. This was
What LOk Wing Nuen proposed 70 do,
lud after counting up his savings he
ixed on sum 20 pay for Miss Sou,
throwing in 500 extra on account Of
,he fact that he was more than twice
her age. Having attended TO this pre-
lminary, Lok Wing Nusn dispatched
Ak All, close friend, 20 see Miss Sous
father a. Black Hawk and lay before
him the offer OF LoS.

White all talk about the election contests
has died the projects are by no means Dofunct.
There are people in both the Citizens and
Democratic parties who are Just az eager now
as they were the day sfter election to 60 into
court aud have certain returns upset, and
they seem to have sufficient influence to keep
the machinery moving.
Still there is a strong possibility that moth
ing will result from either movement. A
well known member of the Democratic party
said the other day that, in his opinion, the
bottom would drop out of the whole thing
before many days, even after going into court.
Some of those who were heated few days
ago have cooled down and taken a dollar and
cents view of the matter and from that stahd q
point of view it is hard for cool headed,
conservative man tn see what is TO be gained.
However, there is one argument that is bo-
ing made by the Democrats which may sue.
Ceed il bringing together predOminating
power that will force the contest To maturity.
The argument is that a contest viii change
the results in the Second, TDird, Fourth and
Fifth wards sufficiently to give the Demo
Gratis majority in the School Board that will
stand beyond danger for several elections.
This is, indeed, an enthusiastic hope far
too enthusiastic Co be realized. Bat there is
no use attempting % argue the matter
with those who entertain it, for they have
their minds set upon it and will not be con
vinced otherwise.
Just what the CitizSns party is doing
towards making contest is not known, but
1t is believed little has been done this week Ms
most of The parties having this matter in charge
have been otherwise engaged. Fer this
reason it is possible that there will he no
developments from the Citizens movement
on Monday, as was expected The prepara
tiOn Of data aud papers for an election contest
is very tedious work and requires several
days. This, in connection with the ground
that may have been lost by the delay will un-
doubtedly extend the time for developments
from the Citizens party another week or ten
days
1t was learned today that all the papers for
the contest on the Democratic side of the
house have been prepared and are in the
hands Of the committee of twenty five ap
pointed last Sunday. 1t is said r meeting OF
the general committee will be held tomorrow
and the papers viii then be turned over to
the counsel employed for presentation to the
court on Monday. A contest is to be IN de
on every candidate on the Citizens, ticket
whom the returns gave a majority.

Poisoned by Fly Bites.

The Portland {Me) Press.
There are a number sick here
the result Of fly hites. One doctor
has four cases, al anGi thsre 8 sfe i soshei
cases, some of them very bad and
dangerous. A hackman, while
driving a tack in his parlor carpet
hit his hand, taking off a bit of
the skin. Soon after a fly lighted
on the exposed spot. He brushed
it off, but soon found that he was
growing sick and went to a doctor.
In the meanwhile the hand was
badly swollen and the swelling
soou extended to the arm, and
from there to the shoulder. The
bite of the fly this season seems to
be uncommonly poisonous. Com
monty the parties suffering from
bites growing faint, and the spot
where the fly injected the poison
5wells rapidly.

The Beautiful Word'' Lady.

Good Housekeeping.
There is good English wor,
which formerly had several beauti
full meanings, and which we have
nearly lost the use of these latte
days-"lady." Its downward course
many have been traced for nearly
twenty years by newspaper jokes
too familiar to bear repetition. We
thought we had reached the bottom
when, sometime ago, witness in
a divorce case testified of the de.
fendant that. "She was very much
of a lady when she wasn't drunk. "
But since then even lower depths
have been in evidence.
1t is such p pity! I think we
should at least bemoan it's loss
decently and pass some resolutions
O.: coincidence. It was such a
beautiful word, and we do miss it
so.
LIDO remember-not an apothecary
but two sisters who, when I was a
child, always seemed the per-
son1fcation of the word "ladyllke'
to me. They had gentle, quiet
ways of doing things, and low
I couldn't then have ex-
planned why 1t was but somehow
tor years afterward / never heard
;he word lady with out thinking of
;he Misses D.
One thing that made them seem
ilfferent from other people was
hat they wore their hair only
waved in front and plain behind,
It a time when it was the fashion
o have the head look like a last
ears birds nest in the wind.
Let US hope that twentieth cen.
ury usage will restore my lady to
er own again.

For the ADVERTISER.
Not In 1t.

Mr. EDITOR. In your last issue
appears an endorsement of w. H.
Folk for the Senate by Johnston
Democratic Club No. 2. This is a
false claim, as the club has never
met since its organization some
months ago: and has taken no
such action. If done by a friend
of Mr.. Folk, it only reflects his own
sentiments. That kind of tactics is
