THE CHINESE MUST GO.
A New Version of the Heather chinee
Showing Some More of His
PecuIiarities,

Peculiarities.
A BRENNAN visitor to the
Houston carnival brought back
particularly glowing ac-
count of the enterprise, and also
good story about matter alto
gether foreign to the first named
subject. The former was doubt
less most entertaining exhibit
but the latter gives promise of
being a long ways the best read
ing.
At the Houston infirmary a
Chinaman was received for
treatment for some one of the
many ills which Monaghan flesh
is heir to. 1t SO happened that
all the wards available for the
reception of the representative
of TIE fowery kingdom were al
ready full to overlooking and the
management was at loss to dis
pose of Wing 500 of the almond
eye. Finally the best horn of
the dilema was taken by giving
Mr.. 500 accommodations in the
"dead house, which by the way,
has scarcely been used for other
t h an sleeping apartments
since DIR. Guiteras found the
Bayou City reeking with .'yel-
low fever" That same night a
patient in the negro ward died.
The live Chinaman had first
claims on the ''dead house, -
hence the dead negro was put
away in the engine room until
the arrival of the undertaken
who was called up by telephone.
The undertaken came, and being
well acquainted with the premi-
ses, asked no questions, but went
at once to the s'dead house" af-
ter the dead negro as he sup
posed. The apartment was
dimly lighted, the Chinaman was
sleeping soundly, and the IN
dertaker lost no time in pre-
pairing the celestial for burial.
In fact, to make longl
story short, the Chinaman
was in the coffin and the lid was
fast being screwed down on him
before he awoke. But when
that slumbering pig tail did
from the clutches of Nor
pheus and dope he made Rome
and the robbers howl. Such an
other scene has not been enacted
since the shaking up in the val
ey of dry bones" The aston
shed and frightened undertaken
md his assistants have never
been able to describe accurately
what TRANSFERRED. They agree,
however, that there was a con-
usion and conglomeration of
'olong profanity, and taperl
tails and celestial shirt tail and
uniform cuss words. When +,
hey came to, the Chinaman had
yanished and it is believed that
ire this he has succeeded in be-
ng de2orted to his native heath.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS ALMANAC
FOR 1897 LEADS ALL OTHERS-SOME
REASONS WHY.

THE Philadelphia Press" Almanac for
1897 is beyond question the most complete,
comprehensive and valuable almanac pub
LEGATION issued by any newspaper in Penn
sylvania and is in all respects fully the
equal, if not the absolute superior of the
best publications Of the country. 1t is in
a word, worthy of the great newspaper
whose name it bears. Local features a e
included in it, which have never appeared
in any similar publication. A complete
list of the judges and county officers OF
every county in the State is among these.
1t gives the official vote in detail for Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Mary
land, and the vote by divisions for Phila-
delpha and Camden. 1t gives the most
complete directory of the various State
governments ever printed, and in its
church directory for Philadelphia presents
what never before has been attempted
figures showing the numerical strength in
membership, and in churches of all the
| denominations. In its general depart
mentS it presents a mass of well-edlted
concisely expressed information, GOVERN 9
every field of human activity, in so valu-
| able manner that no intelligent citizen
| who takes an interest in his government
| and in society in general can afford to be
| without a copy of the work. 1t brings W
to date as wide range of subjects as are
covered by an encyclopaedia. The book
is handsomely printed and substantially
bound, consists of nearly 700 pages and is
| sold by newsdealers for - cents, or mailed
to any address postage prepaid.

TWO WEEKS IN FLORIDA.

To see Florida is pleasure; to visit 1t
is privileges but to spend fortnight
within its borders is an epoch. There
is a great satisfaction in witnessing the

and rivers at home are all icebound One
appreciates the wonders of modern inven-
ton and railroad development upon leav-
ing the neighborhOod of good skating one
day and finding himself in the vicinity
of good bathing the next. Yet this can
be done. and the man who prefers hun ting
or fishing will take his accountrements
along with him, for Florida extends a
cordial invitation to all sportsmen.
