An Evening in China.

On entering the chapel of the First
Presbyterian Church Thursday evening,
one was pleased with the beautiful decora-
tion-Chinese lanterns, fans, banners,
swords, screens, draperies and the charm
ing tableau Of little Chinese maid Mar
garet Mayer sitting under Chinese para
sol, in bamboo chair, that came from
the Orient. The ushers, Messrs. Leslie
Elmer and Herbert Mayer were attrac-
tons in their oriental robes.
Miss Alice Woolery, Miss Florence
Woodruff and Mr.. H. II. Shoemaker en-
tertained with a beautiful trio. The Rev.
S, W. Beach introduced the Rev. l.. E.
Citizens. who related many humorous in
cidents of his "Summering in China"
also telling of the sad lives of the women
there, and the great need of strong, sem
sible missionaries. Mrs. Edward NJ.
Fithian interested the audience with her
portrayal on the piano of the peculiari-
ties of Chinese music. Mrs. Theodore B.
Edwards delighted all with "a Dream of
Paradise" The concerted music of the
Misses Woodruff was an effective ending
of an evening to be long remembered,
and entertainers and entertained have
helped to forward a good cause-a hos
pital in our city.

SPECIAL COURT.
The Combination Makes Trouble and
causes Liquor Case In Court
DisorderIy House Case

In Court Monday there were two
cases. One was a liquor case, and the
other was disorderly house charge.
Mayer Wasman, of Carmel, it is alleged
has been selling an intoxicating wine at
his home. John A. Mitchell, counsel for
Wasman, acknowledged that Wasman
sold wine which he made, but was not
intoxicating.
The evidence against wasman was
given by four young fellows.
One Sunday a short time since these
fellows went off for days outing and
wound up at Carmel stopping at Was
mans house, There they bought four
quarts OF wine. Sayre became intoxi-
Gated, but it was explained that after
drinking the wine, Sayre went out on the
farm and eat watermelon. The COM
bination made him sick and caused his
head to swim.
Some other witnesses were called but
they did not give any testimony against
Wasman.
In his own defense Wasman said he
raised grapes and pressed them himself
ana made unfermented grape juice. This
ne sold. Wasman produced three bottles
OF the wine in Court. He claimed that
none of it was intoxicating. To produce
intoxicating wine, he had to pass the
wine through state Of fermentation.
There were No other witnesses for the
defense, and the case was given to the
Court.
The second case was against Mrs.
Loper. She is charged with keeping a
disorderly house. At the time of her an
rest she lived on Broad street and the
States witnesses, many of whom were
neighbors, claimed that the house was
visited by Objectionable people, and that
there were loud noises there at times, and
upon one occasion there was a fight.
Mrs. Loper defended herself by deny
ing the allegations of the State. She
claimed that her home was all right and
she did not maintain a disorderly house.
