A CHlNAMAN'S FATE.
Declared Dead by Society, He Was Ia.
booed and Killed Himself.

DOOed ana hllleQ
IN San Francisco there's a Chinese
secret society," the laws of which are
as strict and unchanging as those of
the Modes and Persians. One of the
members of this society told some of
its seerets-an offense punishable by
death. He was to be tried in the usual
way before a tribunal of the society.
The night of the ordeal was fixed.
The culprit was represented by able
counsel, but the sentence was death
as was expected. An executioner was
called from an adjoining room. lie
was a strapping big Chinaman, and
wore one of those hideous wooden
masks that art critics think so beauti-
full He carried a dOuble-edged sword
fully five feet long. To test the edge he
folded a newspaper in eight parts, and
the knife went through those eight
thieknesses of paper as II it were a
bit of butter in summer time.
The culprit was brought In upon his
knees, and another Chinaman, also on
his knees, faced him and caught the
traitor by the cue. He drew the cul-
prit's neck toward him, the smock was
pulled over the shoulders, and with
one mighty swing the double-edged
sword descended. Like flash it Glove
the air and then stopped. fractional
part of an inch separated the sword
from the victims neck. Very, very
gently the exeeutloner brought the
weapon down until it just touched the
traitors neck. Then, as it Is crime to
kill man in San Francisco, he stop
ped He brought the sword to his side
again. turned to the jugdes and said:
The culprit is dead"
The newly executed got on his feet
and said something to the judge. The
judge did not heed for the culprit
was dead. He tried to speak to the
Cinnamon, who were hurrying from
the hall But he spoke TO deaf ears.
To all intents and purpose he was a
dead man.
lie made his way into the street.
and the first thing that caught his eye
was hugh poster proclaiming to all
Chinatown that he had been executed
that evening No one would speak to
him. no one look at him-he was a
dead man-just as dead as if the exc
cutloRers sword had in reality de-
scen5cd.
For a whole week that man wan
dered about Chinatown, the posters
proclaiming his execution staring him
in the face at every turn. Not a crust
of bread could he beg-not a mouth
full OF water His people knew him
as dead-he was past, gone, buried.
And so one day he wandered up into
the American portion of San Fran
cisco and stole a revolver from mes
senger boy, who was showing it TO
some comparisons. Then he ran down
into Chinatown, sat down on the pave
ment beneath one of his own death
notices and blaw the added brains out
Of his poor CHI head. q

New York's Little Shops,

New York, with all its greatness. is
in some respects the most condensed
place ON earth. Down in Mulberry
street there is a shop just wide enough
for a cobbler's bench and hardly long
enough to permit three customers to
stand in line. Here the Industrious
doctor of soles sits all day long and
plies his trade. interrupted occasional
~ by a customer, who obscures his
day light.
There are cigar stores so diminutive
that a man can scarcely turn around
in them. In Broadway, not far from
Herald Square, is a place for the sale
of the fragrant weed in which a Gus
toner can hardly lift his arm without
knocking down & box of cigarettes
or a pile of stogies. It's the proper
thing for the purchaser to back out
of the place after cautiously applying
the match to his recently acquired
cigar.
Smallest of all Is a restaurant near
the South ferry, where there are a
shelf and three chairs, and the pies are
placed on edge. On busy days those
who desire the particular brand of
crullers, stew and coffee offered there
for sale are obliged to wait outside the
door for place at the shelf.

for the Retiring Corps-Have
Proved Good Soldiers.

The artillery which will relieve the
Engineer Corps in Honolulu will ar
rive by the Nippon Maru.
The battalion consists of four bat
tcrles. but IL is doubtful whether Bat
terry n will accompany the others, as
it is not thought to be completely or
ganlzcd.
AS single battery of artillery con-
sists of 1875 men, the three which will
arrive on the 18th will comprise as
many men as the battalion of Engi-
neCrs now here.
The artillery will occupy the present
quarters of the Engineers Their stay
there, however, will be comparatively
short, as arrangements for a perma-
nent post have been begun. This will
be on the site recommended by Gen.
Compton.
Thr sixth artillery was organized in
June 1898, under the act of March Sth
of the same year. Maj. Mills is the
commanding officer, but ii Is doubtful

Mills does not come at once.
On the goth of this month the mem
bers of the Engineer Corps will march
down to the Australia and sail away TO

but that upon their arrival ut their
