drawn from the class which spend
money most freely. but that the pa
irons of that special house are more
smartly dressed than the audiences one
sees elsewhere. This state of things IS
due to the unerring acumen of the box
office man.
That astute gentleman can invari-
ably detect the man who will bring a
stunningly dressed woman to the the
alter and the one whose companion Will
be sure to be a dOwdy damsel in last
years gown. Be sure that the former
will get a conspicuous seat, while the
latter is relegated to the shadowy rear.
The box office man recognizes the pros
porous individual who will wear even
ing clothes to the play and the rural
visitor who viii treat his fiance to pea
nuts or to candy out of paper bag.
He knows the woman who will wear a
picture hat to her own complacent JOY
and to the agonized undoing of the I'M
fortunates behind her, and he parcels
out seats in accordance with his 1udg-
ment to such buyers. In short, it IS
the box office man who dresses the
house.-New York Telegraph.

been employed in the mines for the past

cold over there, and he has come home

on IDOCY IN CHICAGO.

They have a flag law in Illinois. A
flag law is something to make you love
your cOuntry's flag. If you don't love
it you are fined so and costs. 1t pro-
vides. among other things. that no man
shall display the flag in any advertise
ment of his business. Many people
consider that a wise and essential prop
to patriotism. We do not, though we
may be wrong. But concerning the
Chicago Interpretation of this law We
are sure there can not be two opinions.
Several new dealers in Chicago inform
us that they have been arrested and
fined, under this flag law. for display
ing certain Puck cartoons in which the
American flag appeared. Under this
ruling nine-tenths of the illustrated
papers in the country would have to
circulate in Chicago like nihilistic
pamphlets in St. Petersburg. Puck Ger
tainly would. for we make frequent use
of the American flag, and not often, We
think out readers will agree. to its dis
repute. One of the Chicago victims
wants to know if we have any suggest
ion to make. Certainly, AS a matter
of self-defense, have your case carried
to a responsible court and get the ruI-
ing which any sane judge will have to
give. Then. as a matter of humanity,
apprise the friends or relatives of the
committing magistrate of his condi-
ton. They will wish to place him in
some good institution where humane
attendants may give him every care
in the last throes of his dreadful maIa-
dy.-Puck.

MAN WHO SELLS TICKETS.
Importance of the Work That Is Done
by the Man in the Box Office.

The box office man-that is. the box
Office man who is master of his art
reads human nature like a book. He
can tell at a glance the individual up
on whom it is safe to unload seats di-
rectly behind the stage-obscuring pill
lar, and the man TO whom he may
swear that seats in the "circle''-row
seven-are far more desirable than
aisle chairs in the corresponding row
of the orchestra.
He recognizes at once the financial
magnate for whom he will deferentialIy
sell the best in the house, and the
shrinking music teacher who will pain
fully part with seventy-five cents-she
always has the exact change in silver
toward whom he may contemptu-
Ously shove a single seat in the bal
cony. The public says of this theater.
or that. or the other. that it is a
swell house; meaning not that the

others, and its audiences, therefore,

proposed bill which will be presented TO

bill is drafted on the same lines as the
Minnesota BARRIERS law and provides fer
the appointment of board of examiners
composed OF five members by the District
Commissioners, who shall examine all ap-
plicants for BARRIERS licenses.
The bill provides for tax or fee of 81
to be paid by each applicant when he pre-
sents himself for examination. This
money shall go into the District treas
ury, but in the event of the applicant fail
ing to pass the examination his fee will
be returned to him. The bull further pro-

A NOTED CHINESE CRIMINAL.
Lum All Hing Has Spent Forty Years
in American Prisons

San Francisco, July 5.-Lum Ah Hing.
who has had his queue cut six times at
San Quentin, came to this city yester-
day afternoon and is a guest at the county
jail awaiting deportation. Hing, or Jute
Scotty, as he is better known, has a life
story which is notched with crimes He
has served more than forty years of con-
finement in prison as result Of his many
misdeeds He is seventy-seven years of
age, and has been in this country fifty-five
years. The greater part of his three score
ten and seven has been spent behind prison
bars. His offence has always been grand
larceny.
He was first set to San Quentin in 1852,
when he was convicted of having stolen
s25, 600 from his cousin. After losing the
money at the gaming tables in the Chinese
quarters he was caught, tried, and sent
over for a term of one year. In 1858 he
made the round trip with a stop-over OF
two years He repeated his grand larceny
performance in 1862 and another year was
tackled to his previous sentence. In 1868 he
was sent up for five years. His next
offence was committed in 1874, and the
penalty was six years He put a cap on
his record in 1887, in which year he got
twenty-year sentence for stealing some
nickel watches valued at 500. Hing admits
all of his crimes except the last, which he
says was committed by fellow country
man. His last term, which he has Just
finished, was reduced to twelve years and
four months on account of good behavior.
Kings only baggage when he arrived at
the jail was a small package wrapped in
newspaper. 1t contained a skeleton key
and lock pick, filed by the willy o!d
Celestial during his confinement He also
had s. discharge money and is very proud
of it.
He is glad of the opportunity of going
back to the Flowery Kingdom to spend
his last years and get a real Chinese
funeral. When his home going is mention
ed his small eyes light up with pleasur-
able anticipation and his wrinkled face is
wreathed in smiles. He claims that when
his father died in China, before he came
| to this country there was an estate OF
| 100000, but that an uncle sent him to
America in order to get rid of him. He
says that he Will make a contest for the
property when he gets to China He for
merly had a brother in this country but
| the latter went to China about fifteen
| years ago and has been dead for ten
years. Hing thinks that he left an estate
in the home province.

BRITISH ATHLETES TRAINING.
They Apparently Expect an Easy
Victory Over Harvard nnd YnIe.

London, July 5.-The athletes of Oxford
and Cambridge Universities, who are to
take part in the coming contests with
representatives of Yale and Harvard are
gradually getting themselves into shape at
Tunbridge Wells. They have no trainer
but c. n. jackson, one of the Dons of
Hertford College, who has charge of the
team, directs their work daily by telegraph
from oxford. The men will go to East
bourne tomorrow and will on alternate
days visit the Queens Club track, at Ken
sington, where the international contests
will take place. The men say that they
are Indifferent as to whether the American
athletes Burke and Quinlan race. They
would be pleased to meet them. They de-
sire to meet the best team the Americans
can produce. Mr.. Hunter, the captain of
the team, said today that he did not con-
slider his men, all round, as good as the
team which competed with the Americans
several years ago, but he believed they
would show better results. He added: THE
Americans, however, train more energeti-
cally and in a more business-like way than
