danger; Mrs Stanton retiring at about
2o'clock. At5o'clock the change came
and before she could be called he had
passed away. The deceased came from
Lexington to this city five years ago.

years old. He leaves wife, two sons

husband, he was "a member OF the Bap-
fist church and also a member OF the

The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced, but apart from
Constantinople the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1916 in
Venice, 1869 i'll Paris, 1862 in London
and 1894 in Leipsic. From the first,
however, the conventional oriental cof-
fee cup, without stem or handle, was
little used, and in Germany not at all.
The Chinese teacup was used for tea,
coffee and chocolate as well. Specimens
of porcelain were undoubtedly intro
duced into Europe in the middle ages,
yet not till the sixteenth century were
cups imported from China in any great
quantities, and even then it was as ar
ticles Of vertu. Most of these found
their way back to China again, as col
lecting porcelain is lasting fad there,
and high prices are paid for good spec
linens The collection of Chinese porce-
lain, if only the genuine specimens are
desired, requires immense study and
knowledge, as the Chinese are skillful
imitators and put numerous falsifica-
tions on the market. -Jewelers' Circn-

guests, who were present and enjoyed
the occasion, made very striking with
the elegant evening dress and profusion
OF roses worn by both gentlemen and
ladies. The enigma part was a neat
folder on which were printed questions
to be answered by writing the name of
some flower answering it, which used
to grow in "grandmother's flower gar

the contest, and Chas. Nj. Wise and

CHINAMEN SHUT OUT.

Only q Limited Number to De Admit
ted for Tenn esaee Exposition.
The encouragement has rendered an
opinion to the secretary of the treasury
in which he holds that, under the joint
resolution of congress suspending the
operation of certain parts Of the i'm
migration laws so as to admit foreign
crs to be employed in various capacities
in connection with the Nashville
(Tenn.) exposition, the secretary has
the right to limit the number to be so
admitted. The question was raised as
to the admission Of several hundred
Chinese, who had arrived on the border,
and had applied for entrance. The di-
rector-general Of the exposition, in an
swep to inquiries from the department,
stated that 200 Chinese should be ad-
mitted under concessions already
granted, and that number will be al
lowed to proceed, but no more. This
will fiecessitate the return to China OF
over a hundred now at Port Townsend
and probably many more'soon to arrive.
