house for $50 days. Pang Wing was also
fined $40 for carrying concealed weapon.
About dozen Chinese were in attendance
at the trial. Sam Guam. an educated China
man from Louisville. has been in the city
number of days in the interest of the
accused men. The entire Chinese popula-
ton of the city has been thrown into
wild state of excitement by the appearance
of cueless man, who calls himself
Jal. but whom the Chinese pronounce
Chnaman. He pretends to be here upon
important business, but the Cinnamon will
have nothing to do with him. This mys-
ferrous individual was in court yesterday
and sat on the same bench with three Chi
namen. He gave his name as T. Y. Shung
and said he is connected with the Japanese
legation at Washington. 1t was with en-
phasis that he denied being Chinaman. to
which Chinaman said:

Mr.. Shung wears American clothes. His
hair is long and straight. His forehead is
shaved, which the Chinese say is a sure
sign that he is one of their race. He talks
with the Chinese accent and invariably gets

in a house on West Market street, where
they had gone to give three women an
opium smoke. Attorney w. W. Herod. who
appeared for the defendants, contended that
the ordinance making opium smoking in
private houses a misdemeanor was uncon-
stitutional. He said the city could no more
than it could dictate what he should eat
or drink. The ordinance as relating to pub
lie dens he thought all right. The two ac-
cused went to the house in question at the

Mrs. Under Wants n Divorce.
Elizabeth c. Under. daughter of Solomon
Clavpool, was yesterday given a divorce
from William Under. The latter is the
sten-son of Rev. J. S. Jenckes. The decree
was granted by Judge Harvey. of Room 2,
Superior Court. In addition to the divorce
the court gave Mrs. Under $4,000 alimony
and assessed the costs, which will amount
to about 800, to the defendant. The
plaintiff by the provision of the decree
will also retain possession of the North IL
Inois-street property decided to her by the
defendant before their separation. This
property is worth about 100000 Judge Har-
vey's decision was brief. Neither of the
parties to the suit was present. The
court believed that if the couple had been
removed from the influence of their re-
spective parents, their married life might
have been happier. He had found, he said,
that the charges of the defendant that his
property had been conveyed to Mrs. Under
through fraud and conspiracy on the part
of the plaintiff and her family, could not
be sustained. The court could not condone
the course pursued by the plaintiff in
certain respects. On this point he said:
"As to the charges in the cross-com-

Viewed in the light of present facts as we
