their own people, and everything that comes up for settlement among them selves or in the relations of the Chinese to the Americans is referred to them.
 In October, 1888, an act of congress went into effect abolishing the certifi- cate of Identification. This cut off a great source of revenue, and the i'm portation of Chinamen became simply question of out-andout smuggling. In 1892 the exclusion law was extended to 1909. This new law also provided that to remain in the United States a China man must obtain a certificate showing that he was here in 1882. On these certificates are photographs of their holders, and the certificates cannot be obtained without the testimony of a reputable white man to the effect that the statements made by the Chinaman are correct.
 In the registration there was great trouble at first in getting the pictures taken according to law, the regulations as to size and costume being very strict. When Wong Ming and his family were about to be registered new difficulty arose. The women, according to their custom, had never been seen by white man, and wore heavy veils when upon the street. The agent of the government agreed to private audience, and Wong Ming and his wife, her two sisters and his two-year-oid child were duly photo graphed and registered. The snug gling of Chinamen has by this new law been reduced to a minimum, but the traffic in contraband goods still keeps up, owing to the vast line of thinly- guarded territory and the expertness of the smugglers.

 She Is Praised.

 She Is Praised.
 The following letter was written by Chinese in China, who desired the daughter of neighbor as a wife for his son:
 "On my knees beg you not to despise this cold and common request, but listen to the words of the matrimonial agent and give your honorable daughter to my slave of a son so that the pair, bound by silken threads, may have the greatest joy. In the beautiful spring time shall offer wedding presents and give a couple of geese, and let us hope for a long and continuous fortune and look forward through endless genera tions to the fulfllment of genuine love. May they sing of plenty and have every joy. On my knees I beg you to con- sidcr my proposal favorably and throw the mirror-lil1e glance of your eyes on these lines"
 To this letter the father of the bride replied that he would attend to the portion of hispoo and poverty-stricker daughter, that she might not be with out bedclothes, cotton clothing, hair pins and earrings. Therefore, it wa; to be hoped that the couple would have constant fortune

 "That reminds me of one of Nun chausen's yarns"
 'Munchausen?" answered the drum mer; 'who is he?"
 "Why, don't you know about him? He is the most colossal example of mendacity that civilization has pro- duced."

A Growing Statesman.

Tams Bixby has a boy who is
evidently equipped with the natural
instincts of a politician. and while
the young fellow cannot hope to
rival his father in the diplomatic
field of practical politics he has a
genius for fixing" things that is a
shock to the I-told-you-so kind. He
is about six years old, but has
head which commenced to grow
early. The other morning he was
called out of bed at an early hour to
look at the glorious northern lights
which We're streaking the skies with
their weird beauty and occasioning
much talk among the old inhab-
itants.
Come out and see the northern
lights, JOEL said one of the family.
Joel was sleepy and didn't want to
be routed out at that hour of the
morning, so he yawned composedIy
and, cuddling back among the pill
lows, replied in the same tone
which his father adopts when stand

LABOR NOTES.

For the past TWO weeks the en-
ployes of the Brooklyn street railway.
several thousand strong. have been on
strike. The result OF the tie-up has
been disorder, the presence of militia
men and the death Of several inGi-
viduals. Traffic has been partially re-
sumed. and the outlook for the sue
cess of the strikers is not very -encouT-
aging, as new men are arriving daily
from other cities to fill the places of
the old employees. In this case it ap-
pears that the companies have habit
uaIly and persistently violated the law
enacted a year ago. which provides
that ten hours shall he a days work,
and that the service shall be rendered
within twelve consecutive hours. It
is alleged (and not denied) that the
men have been compelled to work
eleven and twelve hours a day with
out being paid for overtime. The
men used every means within their
power to bring about 4 recognition OF
the legal work-day. Consultations
were repeatedly held but the answer
was made by the companies that owing
to large expense in changing from
horse to electric power they could not
reduce the hours or afford to pay for
overtime. The men then decided 10
strike. The strikers claim they ask
for nothing but their legal rights. AS
has been said by one of them: In
reply to our final resort for an enforce
ment of the state law. we have bayo-
neted by the state militia. If the nu-
nicipality has power 10 grant fran
chises TO street railway companies,
surely the state CfTom whom The mu
nicipality receives tts charter has
power to enforce its laws. and should
do so. 1t seems to be an objectionable
ofense to enter upon a strike that in
convenieuces the public. or indirectly
causes riotous acts, but nobody seems
to care how fiagrantly corporations
violate laws or Cypress their employees
[ suppose we will be blamed for all
the loss of life and expense in con-
nection with this strike. while as
matter of fact if the railway cOmpa-
MES had obeyed the ten-hour law. or
been compelled TO by the city admins
tration, the whole trouble would have
been avoided.

their popular entertainments Thursday

He Was in n Trance.

There is one young man in St.Paul
who has a good deal recorded to his
credit which the parties in charge
of the record of life should immedi-
ately scratch out. The young man
in question was considerably inter
ested in the election last fall. and
won quite handsome roll on the
result. Immediately after receiving
the proceeds of his speculative in
vestment he went on a periodical
which lasted him two weeks, and
when he came to, he was in the
Kelley institute, where friends had
sent him TO straighten him up. He
had blown in about $1,000. and had
nothing to show for it but a big
head and a close call from d. t.
Two weeks ago he received from
his father. who resides in a distant
state, letter thanking him for the
elegant fur collar which he received
together with his kindletter a month
ago" The young sport had no rec

the government would be fat failure.
and we are abuEdantly satisfied that on
the question Of government policy it
would be at present and under existing
circumstances unwISe. and would be
fraught with serious consequences to
the republic, and with results far reach
ing and in the end injurious"
In case of the failure OF these plans
they suggest that the only alternative
would seem 10 be to fund the Union Pa
cific debt for considerable period Of
time at 4 rate of interest commensurate
with the earning capacity OF the road.
This" says the report. as the plan
which has found most favor with flnan-
cierS and those who have given the SUBJ
jecl much attention"
AS 10 the periOa Tor which the debt
should be extended, ana with respect to
the rate Of interest, 40 special recon-
mendationis made.
That" says the report, will be q
matter for future adjustment when the
details of the plan shall be fully devei-
0Ded. Al present our recommendations
will be confined generally 10 the matter
OF the Tefunding OF the debt, which
should be at such a rate OF interest as
shall enable the company under ordi-
nary circumstances and business con-
diuOns to meet the current interest and
a portion of the principal Of the debt
each year, so that at the expiration of
the period for which the extension is
granted the debt may be wiped out. In
this arrangement two plans have been
suggested:
First, the continuance OF the sinking
funu and the payment into 1t or 4
larger share of the net earnings than
are al present paid into il.
Second, periodical payments of fixed
amount into the treasury OF the United
States until the debt is paid"

There is one unfilial young man in

ago Fred c. lSchiffman returned

metropolis of London. The evening
of his return his father, DR.. Schiff-

club promised to teach him 1.-The

Fred laid low and didn't say a word.

planned the different points of the
game, and finally they went to the
table to practice little. The doctor
placed the balls, and kindly showed
his hopeful son just where to begin,
how to hold his cue and all about it.
Then he told Fred to take the first
shot. Fred shot. The doctor hasn't
taken his shot first. Fred ran the
game out, and then started another
game, when Doc. meekly said:

and then we'll go home, and you can

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Things theatrical
~ remain very quiet and without much
promise of novelty i'll the near future.
The old strife between w. S. Gilbert
aud Sir Arthur Sullivan has broken out
again. Gilbert, before going to the Ca
nary islands, refused Messrs. BooSey IL
Co. permission to print his words OIL the
programmes OF theLondOn concert halls
for the selections from Suliiyan's music,
hence a renewal of the bitter feelings
between Gilbert and Sullivan.
Miss Hope Booth made what will
probably be her last appearances in Lon
don. this week, i'll the bankruptcy court.
Her testimony showed that there was
no foundation FOR the Interview pub
lished in the various American newspa-
pers about her coming in possession of
$50, 900 worth of diamonds while she was
in England.
The ST. James Gazette, referring to
the actors anu actresses left unpaid
and thrown into deep distress by Miss
Booth, remarks: Her enterprise had
rather too much Little Miss Cute

received a letter this morning which
surprised me. Four years ago 1
was appointed by the court to de-
fend a young fellow charged with
petty larceny. In the trial of the
case l succeeded in getting the
charge changed to a lesser degree
of crime, and got my man off with a
workhouse sentence. He had no
money, but assured me that if he
ever got any ahead he would pay
me. 1 never expected to hear from
him again, and I never did until
today. When 1 opened a letter
bearing the postmark of a city in
southern California. 1 was sur
prised to find that it contained three
new, crisp $40 bills. 1t was from my
former client. No, he had not been
converted and joined to the church.
