THE CHINESE IN NEW YORK.
Industrious, Temperate, Peaceful an
Charitable to One Another.

Industrious, Temperate, Peaceful an d
Charitable to One Another.
There is Chinese population of near
ly 10000 in New York city, but 1t is a
rare sight to see any Chinaman apply
ing for help at any of the public charita-
BILE institutions of that city, says a
Gotham exchange. The Chinese are
always ready to assist each other in all
the emergencies of life. Most of them
belong to societies of mutual assistance
on the Chinese plan. When one of them
is penniless he can borrow money.
When one is i'll nurses furnish the
needed service and If he dies the ex-
penses of the burial are always easily
obtained. Several hundreds of them
have become well off through the bust
ness of their washhouses. There are no
loafers among them; they are all noted
for their industrious lives. Few of
them are addicted to the opium habit,
though many of them occasionally in
dulge in the fumes of the drug. 1t is
mainly the wealthy men among them
who enjoy the luxury of Chinese wives.
but others who desire to form white
matches find no difficulty in doing so,
as far as obtaining mates is concerned.
As a rule the children born of these
unions adopt the American style of
life. The Chinese of New York boast
that they produce proportionally fewer
criminals than any other element of
the population.

How He Recovered His Drumstick
froia the Bottom of the Well.
A little boy dropped his drumstick
into o well. In vain he entreated his
parents, the gardener, the footman, the
coachman, the cook, the housemaids to
go down into the well to recover his
drumstick. In his distress, says the
London Telegraph, brilliant expedient
occurred to Master Tommy-he secret
ly carried off all the plate from the
sideboard and threw it into the well.
Great was the CONSERVATION when the
plate was missed, and an active search
for the robbers took place. In the midst
Of the alarm and the confusion Master
Tommy ran with the news that he had
found the plate. "WhereP" was the
cry. Down the well, replied Tommy.

JUST LIKE WINGS.
A Frenchman Who Is EndeRvoring to
FLY Against the Wind.

Fly Against the Wind.
Louis Pierre Mouillard, French res
ident of Cairo, has, says the Philadel-
phia Record, invented flying machine,
comprising an aeroplane of concave sur
faces, attached to the body of the avi-
ator and arranged to permit movement
of the planes in horizontal direction
only with reference to the body of the
aviator. the apparatus depending sole
ly for support upon wind pressure, and
not upon any downward thrust upon
the air, either by Tapping wings or re-
yolving propeller wheels. To breast
plate, provided with an artificial stern
um, are hinged wings, each on vertical
axis, so as to be capable of forward or
backward motion, the wing frames of
aluminium tubing being covered with
silk or other suitable fabric. When the
planes are thrust forward the aero
drome rises; when they are pulled back
it descends. The wings are controlled
by spring, upon which, the inventor
says, "the life of the aviator depends"
and which must be strong enough to
hold the two wings with their edges on
straight line at a speed of % miles an
hour. The aeroplane can glide upon the
air by a fall from height sufficient to
procure speed which shall cause the
air to support the apparatus. or, by
skillful utilization of the force of the
wind, which must blow at least ten
miles an hour. The weight of the ap-
paratus should not exceed IS pounds,
and it is intended to sail with winds
varying between ten and twenty-five
miles an hour.

CITY COURT STILL
RENDERS JUSTICE.
Manning Sued for Five Thousand,
But Got Only Ten
Dollars.
CLAIMED DAMAGE TO CHARACTER.
The Jury Gave Him Nominal Damages.
Suit for Wages is Now in
Progress.

The case of Shade Manning VS.. the
Brunswick Publishing company, pub
fishers of The TIMES, was closed in city
court yesterday by the arguments of
Col. j. D. Sparks for the plaintiff and
Col. J. w. Bennett for the defendant.
Manning, who lives near Mount
Pleasant, in Wayne county, objected
to the published statement in the
Times-Advertiser, on January 2l, 1896,
that he was accused of the murder of
Mumford Harrison, which occurred
near Waynesville in December, 1896.
Henry Manning. brother of Shade,
was afterwards convicted of the crime
and is now serving a sentence in the
penitentiary. At the time of the pub
lication of the alleged libelous article
there was, however, warrant out
against Shade Manning, charging him
with the crime. On the authority of a
letter written by Manning himself to
a relative, Bruce Wright, in this city,
the Times-Advertiser published
statement that the young man intend
ed giving himself up to the officers to
answer for the alleged crime. Man
ming did give himself up a few days
after the article was published, but
was acquitted on that charge and also
on another alleging his participation
in murder in Glynn county.
Manning brought SUIT against the
Brunswick Publishing company for
damages, claiming that the article
itself charged him with being guilty
of the murder instead Of simply alleg-
ing that he was charged with the
crime.
In the trial, the defendant intro
duced neighbors of Manning who tes-
titled that, until recently, when re-
formation took place, plaintiffs char
acter was generally bad. The war
rant charging him with the murder
was also produced in court by the de-
fendant.
Manning asked for $4,000. The jury
gave him SO, the lowest amount that
could possibly be awarded under the
law. being merely nominal damages.
The case of Hannigan against Barn
well. suit for wages, was next proceed
ed with, pending the conclusion of
which Judge Atkinson announced
recess until this morning.

President Calls Judge Day Suddenly Back

Washington. D. c., Aug, 1l.-Secre-
tary of State John Sherman today re-
fused to discuss the story printed in
New York paper to the effect that
Judge Day had been called back to
Washington by the President to su-
pervise his superior, and thus practi-
cally take charge of the office of Sec
retary of State.
This action on the part of the Pres
ident in requesting Judge Day to cut
short his vacation is due to Sherman's
open interviews patriotically discuss
ing international diplomatic affairs in
manner to provoke serious criticism
by foreign nations and also because of
the Secretary's failing memory. This
was observed by Secretary Foster on
last Saturday in his interview, and he
reported his (Foster's) observations to
