Obstinate Cinnamon Arrested.

Captain Robert Parker of the
police force was very busy Satur-
day examining into the condition
of the network Of wooden buildings
known as Chinatown. Most of the
filth has been removed, thanks to
the good work of those who have
been sent out for that purpose.
Still there were places where Chi
namen of an Indifferent turn of
mind refused to assist in the clean
ing up process. Two of this num-
Der used insolent language to Cap
tain Parker, furthermore refusing
absolutely to do anything. They
were escorted 10 the police station.

WILL CONTEST THE ESTATE.
Mrs. AlphOnsine McGrew Com
mences an Action Abroad.
Contest Opened in San Francisco and
WIN Be Carried to This Country.
She Wants the Insurance.

Mrs. Alphonsine McGrew, the
alleged widow of the late DR.. Henri
McGrew of this city, is an inmate
of a hospital in San Francisco and
is said to be very i'll. Through
her attorney, Horace G. Plat, she
has commenced an action in San
Francisco to recover $4,000, being
the amount of an insurance policy
carried by the late doctor. 1t is
understood that her attorney will
come to this city and will carry on
a contest for the entire estate.
The McGrew case has been be-
fore the courts in this country for
some time and is still pending.
The Supreme Court recently hand
ed down decision which virtually
gives the insurance money to J. 0.
Carter, the administrator of the
estate. The Court say in part:
''This is an action on policy of in
surance issued by the defendant COM
pany upon the life of Henri @. Nc
Grew for 5000 payable upon his
death to "AIphonsine McGrew, wife
of Henri CT. McGrew if living,
if not living to his executors, admin
istrators or assigns" The company
desires that it be first judicially deter
mined who is entitled to it-whether
Alphonsine McGrew or the admins
traitor of the insured. The doubt up
on this point is occasioned by the fact
that the insured prior to his decease
obtained a decree of divorce from his
wife on the ground of adultery, the
validity and effect of which decree are
questioned.
"The contract of insurance was en-
tered into in the Hawaiian Islands;
the policy is dated September IA, 1892;
it was issued to Henri @. McGrew
upon his application; he retained pos
session of it and paid all premiums
upon it; he died October %, 1894; at
the time of entering into the contract
and until his death he was a subject
and resident of and domiciled in
these islands; J. o. Carter is the duly
appointed administrator of his estate
all conditions and requirements neces-
sary to be performed or complied with
by the decedenJ or plaintiff have been
performed aud cOuplieu Will.
"The case was tried in the Circuit
Court, First Circuit, jury waived upon
agreed facts, and comes here upon the
following questions reserved by the
Circuit Court on motion of both par
ties:
1. Is Alphonsine McGrew neces-
sary party to this case?
2. Were II. @. McGrew and Alphon-
sine McGrew divorced; and if so, is
the decree still in effect?
8. Is the amount due on Henri @.
McGrew's insurance payable to j. ..
Garter, administrator of the estate of
III. Ct. McGrew?
"The first question reserved must
be answered in the negative, the other
two questions in the affirmative, and
the case is remanded to the Circuit
Court for such further proceedings as
may be proper"

The Outlook.

) The political conditions have so
largely changed in every part of the
country from those existing last year
that with an earnest effort made and
every democratic vote polled there are
fair assurances of success.
Last year in the midst of hard times
republican calamity bowling succeeded
but with the change in material pros
poets it has lost its force, and on every
hand are indications that the people
can be no longer deceived.
The democrats have just carried by
largely increased majority at a
special election the s'Tom Watson" dis
trict in Georgia.
A republican majority of $500 in
Indianapolis Harrison's home. was on
Tuesday of last week turned into a
democratic majority of 4, 900.
A republican majority of $500 in
Chattanooga, Tenn, last fall, gave away
on Tuesday to democratic majority
after the people had repudiated Nc
Kinleyism in the memorable elections
of 1890, Harrison in his usual message
to congress, defended McKinleyism and
advised congress that the people were
ignorant of the blessing the repudiated
measure would be to them and that no
attention should be paid to their action.

FRANCE AND GER MANY.
Eac:i Country Thinks the Other In
significant, But

Eac.; Country Thinks the Other In
significant, But
The population of Germony is 81,
100000 and it has increased by H.
500, 600 since 1870. The figures are
certainly very striking. It must be
remembered, of course, that the odd
l, 5000 ought to be deducted as
representing the population of
Alsace-Lorraine But even taking
this into account, the fact remains
that whereas Germany, with a
population to-day of 81, 800, 900,
against Frances 80, 343, 1872, has put
10. O00,00 on her population in
twenty-four years, her neighbor in
same period is not more than e.,
600, 900 souls to the good. The
figures are even more suggestive
than they look at first sight, when
it is borne in mind that while only
8, 500 Frenchmen emigrated in 1892
(the latest year for which statistics
are availa ble), as many as 116, 339
Germans left the fatherland to settle
in foreign lands. Moreover, against
mere half million of foreigners in
the German empire there are l.
40, 600 scattered through France.
All of which bears out completely
what the Westminster has said
again and again, namely, that if by
any chance our neighbors did take
to colonizing in Tunis, Madagascar
and Tonquin, the places which they
left vacant in France would have to
be filed up by Belgians, Italians
and Germans.

SAFETY IN CLEANLINESS.
Japanese Gods Protect Only Nice.
Clean People.


Clean People.
The reason why this idea OF I'M
cleanliness was associated with the
idea of dangerousness was in my
opinion because ~uncleanness was
thought to be the enemy of the gods,
and the gods cannot be where any
uueleanness exists. The gods are
clean and pure, and those who are
not clean and pure cannot but forfeit
the protection of the gods. Those
who are not protected by the gods
can easily be attacked and injured
by the evil and unclean spirits, and
hence the idea of danger came to be
associated with the idea of unclean-
ness. This is perhaps made palmer
by some concrete case When l was
young boy the custom of eating
beef began to spread. AS blood was
regarded as unclean, and also as
Japan had been very strong agri-
cultural country, there was very
deep-rooted disinclination to eat
beef. In this, of course, one has to
rec ognize the influence of the vege-
taria principle of Buddhism.
But to anybody who had ever
tasted beef it was so delicious that
he could hardly control his natural
appetite by his religious scruple.
My father was one of those who
kne W its taste, and so now and then
we used to treat ourselves to beef.
But where did we eat it? We did
not eat it inside of the house. We
cooked and ate it in the open air,
and in cooking and eating we did not
use the ordinary utensils but used
the special ones kept for that pur-
pose. Why all these things? Because
beef was unclean, and we did not
like to spread this uncleanness into
our house, wherein the goods shelf"
is kept, and into our ordinary uten-
sis. which might be used in making
offerings to the gods. The day when
we ate beef my father did not offer
lights to the gods nor say evening
prayers to them, as he did usually,
for he knew he was unclean and could
not approach the gods. Then my
mother, who did not and could not
eat beef until very recently, did
these things, and I, who used to par
take of the new dainty dish, often
went to bed feeling as if I were un-
clean and subject to dangers. From
"Shinto, the Old Religion of Japan"
by N. Kishimoto, in Popular Science
! Monthly.

Clothes Not Always Reliable Guide

A certain earl, whose disregard Of
dress is quite proverbial, called at
his tailor's to pay his bill. A new
manager came forward to receive
the cash, and, not knowing his lords
ship, mistook him for a servant. He
examined the account. aud, after re-
ceIpting it, slipped q sovereign into
the supposed servants hand, at the
same time saying, confidentially:
THAT is sovereign for yourself,
and, you know, if you had only been
a little bit sharper it would have
been two. You don't get your mas
ter's clothes worn out half quick
enough. In that time he ought to
have had double the amount on that
bill, and it is really worth your
while to get a harder brush"
With half grin the earl replied:
We'll, I've always thought my brush
uncommonly hard, and, anyhow, his
lordship complains about it"

ager. 1T isn't anything like hard,
