The experiment Of employing coiored
hands in a cotton factory is about 10 DC
made at Charleston. S. c. Heretofore
white operatives have been employed ex-
clusively. Some time ago the mills had
TO be closed on account of dull markets.
and since then the 800 men, women, and
children have been out of employment.
The Charleston Cotton-Mills have one OF
the largest plants in the southern couh-
try. A large part Of the stock Is owned
by O. II. Sampson, of Boston and other
northern capitalists. and they contend
that had negro labor been secured
months ago. the mill would not nave

Chinese Social Function,

Ten Mongolian caballeros left this
afternoon over the Southern Pacific
for San Francisco, en- route, by special
request. to the fowery kingdom. A
large and interesting coterie of their
countrymen were on hand to see them
off, a7d destroyed considerable atmos-
phere by rapid ejaculation.
The names Of the distinguished
travellers are Yangste-Ki-Yang, Ho-
Waug-Ho, Nanki-Po. Po-Ma Tum,
Wun Lung, Han-Shang-Wah, Poo-ba,
Ding-Dong, Observation-Disclosures
and Plng-Ting-Gin Out of courtesy,
Deputy Marshal George Majors re-
presenting the United States govern
ment. accompanied the party as far as
San Francisco. and sent his best re-
CARDS to Ii Hung Chang in velvet
box. There was some talk about the
occasion OF the trip being due to vague
and iudistinct misunderstanding about
a little iuformality called absence of
some kind Of certificate: but nothing
was said out loud lest the sensitive
feelings Of the Mongolian gentlemen
mi sht be wounded.

Attemptad Suicide.

While the Chinese contingent was
being hustled into their special, pri-
vate car at the S. P. depot this after
noon. one Of the Celestials whose name
was given as Ah-Chung seized a
piece of glass and tried to cut his
throat with it. The officers speedily
put stop to that, and the would-be
suicide threw himself onto the ground
and howled dismally.
II seems that Ah-Chung had been
working for Charlie Sue whom he said
owed him money for services perform
ed, and who had promised to show up
at the train with the cash. However,
there was no man aud no money, and
An-Chung took the loss of his 'taels so
mnch to heart, that this coupled with
intense grief at being forced to go to
China when he was born in Havana,
that he sought to end his precious
young life there and then, and no p3st-
ponemeut on account of weather.
Handouts were put on Ah-Chung
and he was fired into the special car
wi hOut extra ceremony. His neck
was only badly scratched.

Conductor Allen Returns.

Charlie Allen of the G.. FL. has re-
| turned from his eastern and southern
| trip feeling quite we'll, and went out
today on the east bound train. He
says he had fine time bathing in TIE
surf at Tampico beach, and that the
stories about sharks there are myths.
Sharks can't get in there, and the man
who sustained fatal injuries on the
beach some time ago, and was suppos-
ed to have been chawed by sharks, it
is held, was attacked by a saw fish.
The people who bathed there the last
season all signed a statement that they
saw no sharks while in bathing.
Tampico is looking up, ony the wa
ter supply there is bad, ve~y bad.
There has been no rain for three years,
SD that the cisterns lost all their rain
water some time ago, aud distillation
of sea water has been resorted to sue
cessfully. The Central railway COM
pany has run pipe line into TampicO
with water from twenty-seven miles up
the road, but the water plays the mis-
chief with the engines and "kills"
them in short order. There seems to
be some chemical in the water that acts
so on the fues that they fetch loose in
the back fue sheet, and ere the runner
knows it, he has the. water from his
boiler squirting in on his fire and put
ting it out.
