CHINESE CoRPSEs
Will Be Found When the Peters Is
Raised

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made today to tow the
wrecked steamer j. D. Peters from the mud
flats of Richardson's bay to the Numbers
Point dry dock. Superintendent Corcoran
thinks there are at least five Chinese in the
forward cabin of the j. d. Peters. This
place was built up especially for the use of
the Chinese employed on the various
ranches along the river, and, as it was below
the main deck, it must have been flooded
very quickly. The Chinese runner of the
company is known to have been drowned.
He rushed on deck as soon as warned by the
chief engineer but, remembering that he
had 5000 in bundle in his bunk, he rushed
thought four others, who were smoking
opium when the collision occurred, were also

Their smiles of approval your lot will

If we were able to write poetry our

which would go something like this:
The man who comes here
VIII not find our hats dear
If it's cash he's intending to pay;
But twill be quite trick
To obtain them on tick.
Because they're not billed that way.

A Joke on General Lee.

Mrs. Cleveland enjoys joke as much
as her husband and has good memory
One of her first remarks, after she knew
that Ruth and Esther had little broth
er, was that the good news should
straightway be telegraphed to General
Fitz Hugh Lee. That gentleman, who is
now our consul general at Havana, was
in this country at the time, but his
name did not appear among the list of
persons who congratulated the ex-presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland upon the birth
of their son. The reason was that four
years previous General Lee had been
royalty laughed at all over the country
for premature enthusiasm in the matter
of such congratulations. The Democrat
ic convention of Virginia was in ses-
sion, and its hundreds of delegates were
engrossed in the electioneering contests
and the platform discussions which
usually absorb the attention of such a
gathering.
Somebody up in Massachusetts, set in
motion what is known in the newspaper
profession as flake dispatch, to the
effect that son had been born to Mr.
and Mrs. Cleveland. When this infor-
nation reached Virginia, General Lee
did not stop to verify it or wait for its
publication in any responsible newspa-
per, but at once demanded the attention
of the convention while he read a series
of resolutions, which by rising vote
were adopted and telegraphed to Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland at Buzzards Bay. He
went so far as to designate the putative
youngster as "Grover, Jr. and said
many things in the course of an elo-
quent address which did not sound
either wise or witty when found to be |
builded on a fake. General Lee was Sc
verely ridiculed for his indiscretion, and .
he probably considered it the part of !
wisdom to refrain from entering the lists
upon the more recent occasion of felic-
itation. Chicago Record.

A DISASTROUS MUSICAL BAR.
Twelve CeIlists Who Could Not Play with
Their Noses.


There is down town theater in st.
Louis which has had new cello play
er every week since the season opened.
Every one of the cellists who have
been dismissed "fell down" on the
same piece of music, Hungarian dance
OF some eccentric but catchy sort No
fatter how good the cellist might be
III reading music at sight, whenever he
came to Il certain important passage in
this composition his bow would fall
mutely by his side, his left hand make
frantic but vain effort to finger the
strings, and his eyes stare as if he saw
ghost.
Week after week the Hungarian
dance was fzzle. The leader got mad
and the cellist was fired. The other
members Of the orchestra began to call
the piece the Hungarian hoodoo and
looked for its temperance as if it was
a haunt, " The leader was very proud
of the Hungarian dance, because he had
transposed and arranged it himself, and
was determined to make it ego" before
the season ended.
celllst Of some renown arrived in
the city last week, and he was prompt
ly employed, When he showed up for
rehearsal, there on the programme, as
luck would have it, was the Hungarian
hoodoO The bass fiddler alone took pity
on the young cellist and whispered in
his ear:
Better take look at the Hungarian
dance before you tackle it. "
The cellist took the cello part and
ran his experienced eye over it, tried
some of the difficult passages and play
ed them with ease. Suddenly his eye
fell upon the fatal passage His, mouth
opened, the bow fell, his eyes popped.
The leader was raPping to begin.
"Who arranged this cello part?"
81 did. Why?"
at can't be played as written by any
normal man unless he fingers this bass
note with his nose. l do not use my
nose, and don t think it can be done''-
"MOzart did it., gasped the leader,
sparring for wind as he examined the
passage.
But that was piano." protested
the cellist while the musicians crowd
ed around and giggled at the leaders,
discontinue
The Hungarian hoodoo was omitted
from the programme, the cellist was
not fired, and the piece will be rear
ranged st. Louis Republic.
