sturris Alderman Is Arrested.

Sturgis, Mich, July 23.-Considerable
excitement was created in this city
by the arrest of Fred Matzdorf, alder
man from the Third ward. The water
board alleges Matzford has been using
water without paying for it in his bak-
cry and arrested him because he re-
fused payment. Matzdorf claims his
arrest is due to a fight in the city coun-
ell. Matzdorf is chairman of the COM
mittee on streets and sidewalks, and
the council recently stopped street
work. lie now claims If he cannot run
the street work the water board cannot
run the waterworks and will fight in the
courts.

THE CELESTIAL SERVANT.
He Is High Priced and Trustworthy as
Well as Subtle.

At night your 'boy' returns to China
town. where he sleeps, letting himself in
the next morning with latchkey, which,
on hiring, you trustfully confide to him.
This may seem strange and imprudent TO
eastern housekeepers thus leaving your
house at the mercy of an unknown, char
acterless man, for of course they never
have testimonials but it is trust rarely
if ever abused. a fact which speaks favor
ably for the Celestial. Generally they de-
mand and receive large wages We had,
however, one at the modest sum of so per
month who was an excellent cook, excel
ling in bread and cake making, but with u
truly execrable temper. He was always
muttering and growing to himself as he
went about his work. Besides cooking he
had to set and wait upon the table, sweep
the lower rooms-we attended to the bed
rooms-and occasionally wash the win
dows At times he would break out into
what we supposed was intended for sing
ing but anything more harsh and UNI
musical have never heard. Query, Can the
Chinese sing?
What reused his anger more than any
thing was our being late for meals or peo-
pie dropping in for lunch. If at such
times we rang for more bread or cake, aft
or n sufficiently lengthy interval to inn
press upon us the fact of his displeasure
and TO ponder on our greediness, he would
flounce in, scowl at us as he snatchCd up
the plate, mutter very audibly To his mis-
tress, mo makee cakee; too cheap; two
dollars and harf, which was somewhat
embarrassing for both hostess and guest.
Our patience eventually gave out, and we
dismissed this amiable creature, who de-
parted for once all smiles, with his wages
and aprons, leaving behind his latchkcy
and in all probability description of the
place, written where il would attract the
notice of the newcomer though invisible
or at any rate unintelligible to us. This
is favorite practice of theirs and serves
either to encourage or TO warn away appli-
cants. III the latter, your path will be n
thorny one for some time to come, and
''boys" will prove many and fleeting,
much to your wonder and perplexity. You
will find yourself at very unequal odds
when dealing with oriental subtlety and
spite.-Mav Hoskin in Lippincotts.
