POLITICAL COMPETITION.

\ Pleasant Pastime of Literary Folk In
China.
The Chinese have at least one very
gentle and highly civilized amusement
competition in making verses.
TchcnR-Ki-Tong says, in his book.
THE Chinaman at Ilomc:" Instead
of shooting, or playing lawn tennis. or
cropuct, our literary folk, as o as "a
certain number Of them have n little
G#pc TO spare, meet together in turn nj
each others houses. and give them
selves up to poctical tournaments"
This is II in all parts of China, but
especially in the province of Fukicn.
AS soon rs the players are ready, "a
vase Is passed round, and out of it each
draws II slip Of paper, on which Is
written n word dcnOting what part he
is to take. lie may he examiner, copy
ing clerk, or competitor.
When this formnlity is over, one OF
the examiners takes up II book and
opens il at random. Another examiner
calls a number, say nine. The first OK
anincr reads the ninth line OF the page
at which hc has opened, and from this
line Il phrase or word is chosen as the
subject Of composition.
Then Il second vase is placed upon
the table, to which u bell is attached.
a thread hangs from the bell. and at
the end OF the thread Is II lighted sticl;
OF incense. In about half an hour the
stick burns ont, the thread igni,cs. and
as it snaps, u weight drops, which at
at TIE am instant rings the bell and
closes The lid of the vase.
The time is up, and no more verses
can be put into the urn. Now the clerks
pour the manuscripts out OF the urn
copy them all on the same sheet OF pa,
per, to secure anonymity. and so sub
init them to the examiners. The OK
anincrs compare them, decide upon the

a lie to injure anyone, only in yarns;

Frank Mcintyre, sworn, states:
Am clerk for +. A. Schaefer n Co.;

Frank Hustace, sworn, states:
Hewett's reput alton for telling yarns

Judge Advocate Robertson in

dence OF the prosecution was true;
that Hewett had had the converse

that he had acted under instructions

GOOD FOR THE ENEMY.
The King Of rahomey No Longer
Likes Modern Artillery.

The king OF Dahomey received
some Krupp cannon not long ago,
and conceived the idea OF having
them mounted on elephants backs
for use in the field. With much
difficulty this project was carried
out, aud at the next military review
the king ordered that one Of the
guns he fred off Immediately in
front of the royal position, first TAX
ing the precaution to place a couple
OF thousand prisoners where it was
calculated the ball would strike, so
as to Judge OF the effectiveness Of
the shot.
When all was ready one OF the
biggest elephants was backed around
and sighted. Just as the lany ard
was jerked, however, the animal
turned half round to reach for
peanut or something, and the shell
took of the prime minister's head
aud knocked hole as big as a sewer
through the royal palace. His maj
esty wouldn't have cared SO much If
the matter had ended there-as the
minister wasn't very prime and the
palace needed ventilation-but it
didn't. On the contrary, the ele-
phant, which had been stood on its
head by the recoil, picked itself up
in fury and started in on the down
grade ahead of its ticket. 1t upset
the graudstand the very first rush,
slung the grand chamberlain and
the past grand carver OF mission
aries into the next street. 1t then
jumped into the brass band with all
four feet, and il it hadn't got the
big drum over its head so that it
couldn't see, it would probably have
cleaned out the entire congregation
The king was not found until the
next morning, and then, he was
heard to remark that there was only
one thing needed to render his new
artillery system an entire success
that was to get the enemy to adopt
little amusing Journal.

ADJOURNED WITH A CHEER.
The National Board of Trade Con.
cludes It's Meeting.

The National Board of Trade Con-
cludes It's Meeting.
The national board of trade adjourned
yesterday afternoon, closing the twenty
fifth annual meeting with lively cheer.
The board declared itself in unmistakable
opposition to current opinion favoring the
purchase of the Pacific railroads.
Mr. Raymond of Detroit reported for the
agriculture committee that in conversation
with the Secretary Of Agriculture, concern
ing crop reports, Mr.. Morton expressed a
willingness to inaugurate a more efficient
system of gathering these reports, and with
view to a future conference the commit
tee was continued.
The board listened to a brief address
from Mr.. Cutter Of Philadelphia, repre-
senting the National Letter Carriers Asso-
citation, in favor of the passage of Senator
Lodges bill regulating the removal OF
postal employees, and a resolution indorsfng
the bill was adopted.
The board decided not to commit itself
concerning the income tax. This action
was taken just before final adjournment,
when Mr.. Waldo Smith, on behalf of the
New York delegation, was granted permls-
sion to withdraw the resolution concerning
that tax. A resolution was adopted that
the refusal to consider the income tax
should not be construed as an Endorsement
of that law.
Of the merchant marine was adopted after
an address by Mr.. DeLing Of New York.
Then, after passing a number of resolu-
tionS of thanks, and deciding to attend
President Clevelands reception, the meet
ing adjourned sine die.

Seven big South Carolina poplar trees on
the flats overlooking the Georgetown chan
mel have been cut down by tramps, and
used for fire wood, and complaint was
made to the police two days ago that the
tramps had built an old shack near the
stone wall, and were living there. A squad
Of policemen laided the place yesterday,
but only one old colored man was found.
He gave his name as Joseph Chew, and
said he lived in South Washington. He
went over there, he said, to take medicine
and rub himself, as he was sick and did
not want his family to know it.
In the shack were an empty beer keg, an
ak and some pieces of carpets and rags
used for bedding. The officers poured a
can of oil on the rudely constructed house
and then applied the torch.
When the cid man reached the Police
Court today he did not tell the story he
told the policemen yesterday.
I'm po man. he told the judge. "and
1 goes over there to catch rabbits. You
know. If 1 can get rabbit or two and
soma meal l won't have to beg or steal
and it will keep hunger away.
Judge Kimball had never before heard
of rabbits on the flats, and sent the old
man down for two weeks.

VARIOUS EXPLANATIONS.
Two Young People Have Disappeared
From the City.


From the City.
Considerable uneasiness Is felt by friends
at the disappearance of A. Stuart Donnan,
a Georgetown medical student, who is TAX
ing a clinical course at Emergency Hos
pital and Miss Nellie Bransfeld. pro-
fessional nurse at that hospital. Donnan
is a married man, living at 1910 9th street
northwest.
He hailed from Texas. until one year ago
was q clerk in the census office and is
thirty years old. Miss Bransfield is TWEEN
ty-eight and came from Philadelphia about
two months ago. Mrs. Donnan refuses to
believe that the pair have eloped, and that
she has been abandoned. 1. is said by one
of the nurses at the hospital that Miss
Brarsfield left to attend the wedding OF q
friend in New England.
Friends of Mr.. Donnan account for his
disappearance by stating that it is the re-
suit Of an important letter which he re-
ceived from his mother. Some say that
he has simply gone off with the boys to
have jolly good time.
Stories are also going the rounds to the
effect that Donnan had obtained various
sums Of money from his friends within the
past few days. Miss Bransfeld's home Is
in Connecticut. Mrs. Donnan is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. Harry Coggins.
