WASHINGTON, April 9.-Secretary Gage
and the immigration officials are perplexed
as to the best course to pursue in regard
to the immigration Of large number OF
Chinese laborers in connection with the
Chinese exhibit at the National exposition
at Nashville Tenn. The law allows the i'm
migration of a sufficient number of Chinese
laborers to do the work of installing the
exhibit, and also such as may desire to give
entertainments in the exhibition, on condi-
tion that a bond is given that they will
leave the country at the close of the exhi-
bition. The experience of the officials is
that many Of the Chinese, finding business
dull after a week or two, drift over the
country and engage in other business. While
this is violation of the spirit of the law,
there does not seem to be any way of pre-
venting it. The matter, however, is under
consideration by the officials, and 1t is hoped
that some remedy may be discovered.

HAHN STREET RUNAWAY.
Mrs. Baxter and Miss Estes Thrown
From a Buggy. The Former
Considerably Injured.

Mrs. Harry Baxter, Mrs. W.
H. Murphy, and Miss Nettie
Estes were victims of a runaway
accident late Wednesday evening
by which Mrs. Baxter suffered
considerable injury and Miss
Estes was slightly bruised, Mrs.
Murphy being the only one of
the trio who escaped injury alto
gether. The accident occurred
on Main street opposite Mr.. L.
M. Simon's residence. The la
dies occupied phaeton drawn
by a spirited black horse belong
ing to Mr.. F. Fischer. The i'm
mediate cause of the accident
was the breaking of one of the
shafts. This occurring on a
down grade the vehicle ran
against the horse which began
to kick and then to run. Mrs.
Baxter, who is skilful driver,
made an effort to control the
frantic animal and in so doing
was pulled over the dash board
and fell heavily to the ground,
one or more wheels of the vehi-
Gle passing over her. Miss Estes
either fell or jumped from the
vehicle and escaped with slight
injury. Mrs. Murphy retained
her seat in the vehicle, which re-
manned upright and was soon
disengaged from the struggling
horse.
Mrs. Baxter was conveyed to
the residence of Hon. Ben. S.
Rogers and attended by DR.. ]. R.
Williamson. The extent of her
injuries has not been ascer-
tanned, but unless of an internal
nature, they are not thought to
be in anywise serious.
The horse continued his break
neck pace for several blocks and
was finally caught in the western
portion of the city.

What's in a Name?

Shakespeare may have been
tolerably correct when he said
""There's nothing in a name;"
but Justice J. J. Mccain of Bur-
ton thinks to the contrary. His
difference of opinion with the
William arises over
some recent proceedings in the
Gay Hill justice court. In that
tribunal a complaint was recently
filed charging one John Mccain
with unlawful seining on the
Yegua. The gentleman who
filed the complaint was of the
opinion that it referred to Justice
Mccain and the papers so stated.
1t now turns out that the John
Mccain referred to is a colored
resident of Gay Hill precinct, and
the BANNER hastens to make the
amende honorable to Justice Nc
Cain.

SIXTEENTH ANNIVERSARY.
A Pleasant Evening Furnished by the.
Knights of the Maccabees.

Knights of the Maccabees.
Touched by the tender senti-
ment of all inspiring love which
robes the world in splendor,
bends the many hued bows of
promise from horizon to horizon,
that fills the air with glad
acclaim and with the fragrance
Of perennial bloom, N. S. Boyton
in 1881, in Detroit, Michigan, con-
ceived and organized the Knights
of the Maccabees of the World.
From less than than one thou
sand members at that period the
order has grown and prospered
until on January first, 1897, it
numbered two hundred and
sixty-nine thousand members, a.
growth unprecedented in the
history of fraternial or endow-
ment organizations.
In honor of the sixteenth
anniversary of the order Bren-
ham Tent, No. 4 entertained d
number of invited guests at Red
Mems hall Friday evening with
a short spicy program of vocal
music, Rotations and short talks
by different members.
By way of intermission for the
elders the program provided a
number of games for the child
rem which afforded the juniors a
great deal of enjoyment. The
exercises over, delicious refresh
ments were served, and the
guests of the occasion were
unanimous in the hope that
Brennan Tent, No. 4, might
survive to celebrate many happy
returns of the orders natal
day.

AUGUST ASTROLOGY.
What Those Who are versed in Star
Lore Predict.

Lore Predict.
Zadkiel, the London astrolo-
ger, in his Voice, thus forecasts
August, 1897:
August was sacred to Ceres,
the goddess of corn. The posi-
ton of Jupiter in the middle of
the sign Virgo this month is very
favorable to the harvest and
well-being of Switzerland, the
West Indies and other parts of
the world influenced by the sign.
In Turkey, even the greater for
tune brings reform, and a more
peaceful condition of affairs will
soon result as Mars passes away
from his conjunction with Jupi-
ter. The stationary position of
Uranus is evil for the ruler of
Austria, who may soon, indeed,
be translated to the higher life,
for his health will be in an enfee-
bled state, and his kingdom must
soon be convulsed. An outbreak
of Asiatic cholera in. India and
Egypt will give rise to anxiety at
home.
American trade and commerce
will now begin to improve again,
yet the revenue will not be as
good as expected, and public af-
fairs will take some time to settle
down peacefully. Philadelphia
will be the scene of exciting &C.
currences.
Saturn is again overtaking
Uranus, and bringing trouble on
all persons who were born on or
about the 10Th of November, and
those who had either the moon,
Mercury or their midheaven in
the twenty-fifth degree of the
sign Scorpio. The 9th and 18th
of August are evil birthday ami
versaries, bringing either losses
or accidents or illness. The 18th
and 29th are favorable birthdays,
especially for those at whose
birth the moon held the sixteenth
degree of Virgo. Jupiter bene-
fits persons who were born on OF
about the 9th of September, es-
pecially those who were born
near sunrise or noon.
At the full moon Mars will be
near the meridian, and Mercury
will be in conjunction with Jupi-
ter. The former position denotes
excitement in the land and a
harassing period for the govern
ment. The moon on the cusp of
the Sd, afflicted by Saturn and
Uranus, denotes accidents in
travelling and the railway inter-
ests generally will suffer. There
will be sickness in high places,
and more than one important
person will be numbered with the
majority. There will be a good
deal of excitement in the money
market, and foreign securities
will sustain heavy fall.
