AFTER THE GOLDEN WEDDING
Fifty Years of Happy Life and Now
Fence Between Them.
From the New York World. }


After fifty years of happy married life
this trouble OF Dennis Harrington and his
wife is literally a case of a house divided
against itself The aged wife had the sep
tuagenarian husband arrested and it came
out in court that a fence divided the back
yard-a piece for both
II was ony a short time ago that the two
happily celebrated their golden anniver-
sary. All Somersville. n. j.. where they
live, was there. little latter Dennis set
of for the old country 10 visit his few re-
naming friends and kin of days bygone
He left his wife behind. When he came
back the trouble began. You should have
taken me-" insisted the old lady
And 50 they quarreied. And then they
hired lawyers, who decided that lovers for
fifty years had no right to get divorces
Divide the house in two suggested the
husband, so certain rooms were allotted to
her and certain ones 10 her husband Each
agreed TO keep out Of the others quarters.
But they met in the back yard So the
trouble was settled by the erection of a
high board fence right down the centre of
the yard. Just little hole was left in the
fence so that old Dennis could get into the
woodshed which couldn't be divided. An
other place was left for the wife TO draw
water from the well, which was on Dennis
side
Dennis soon felt lonesome. So he rented
his half of the house to another family.
The new tenants walked through Mrs Har-
rington's back yard to reach the woodshed
Get out!" she cried. Il gave my hus-
band the right to go through that hole in
the fence. but not you foiks!''
There was nothing for the husband to do
but to retaliate- So he nailed boards across
his ex-spoUse's back door. To do this he
had to trespass upon that part of the yard
sacred TO his wife. Then she had him ar
rested.
The case will come up for trial next Sep

work is done. Instead of sitting down be

/ Chinese has to find his way through a half
mile of cases containing 1000 different
Chinese characters. It would be almost
impossible for the human mind to re-
member the exact cases in which these
characters are to be found. The work Of
memory is lessened by placing them in
IA groups For Instance all flowers are
| to be found in one place. all diseases in
another The most used characters are
placed in the outside cases. In spite of
TINS system, however, the Chinese type
setter will have to walk several miles to

rhetorical pauses are indicated by the po-
sition of the words
The copies of Chung Sal Vat Po'' which
have reached this city have never con-
tanned more than six pages The first page,
which is the last page according to our
way of thinking, is given over to Chinese
news, boiled down to suit Chinese readers
from the San Francisco morning papers
Every page except the last is half advertis-
ing, and the last page is entirely given
over to the business department so the
paper contains a total of two pages and a
half of reading matter. The sheets are
about as large as those of the regular
edition of the Tribune" The paper has
no Geographic service of its own The edf-
torials are printed below the article to
which they refer and are often much
longer than the item which fathered them
The news matter is on the upper half of
the page and is printed In larger type than
is used in the advertisements
Although printing was invented in China
centuries ago. there has been little inn
provement over the first efforts. There are
only thirty daily papers in the entire EN-
pire, and few of them use movable type
japanese type foundres have of recent
years been turning out great quantities OF
type, and gradual change to modern
methods may be expected.

CHINESE WANT A PAPER.
Anxious to Read the News in Their
own HierogIyphIcs.
From the New York Tribune.

The Chinese of this city have only begun
TO realize the disadvantage of not having a
newspaper of their own since the uprising
of Boxers in their fatherland has made the
news of the world interesting to them. AS
they have no Chinese newspapers they
have to depend on their countrymen who
can read the American papers, but there
are few of these. Besides the Chinese do
not put much faith on news which does not
come in Chinese characters. and many of
them prefer to wait until the Canton and
Shanghai papers arrive. A few of the big
stores have subscribed for new Chinese
daily which is published IN San Francisco
The news which reaches them in this way
is five days old, and such service is I'M
satisfactory even to the slow-going Chi
nese.
The offices and stores of the few Ameri-
cans doing business in Chinatown have
been made clearing houses for important
war news since the trouble began. The
Chinese buy copies of extras and go to
their American friends to have the de-
spatches explained to them. When there
is especially important news, such as the
reported massacre of the foreign diplomats
at Pekin, bulletin written in Chinese
characters is posted on the big board at the
corner of Pell and Doyers Streets. These
reports remain throughout the week, aud
Chinese laundrymen and servants from all
parts OF the city flock to the quarters on
Sunday for the purpose of reading them
About four years ago Chinatown had
newspaper. It was weekly, published
in the basement of 16 PeII Street. The
Chinese say the editor was a very ener-
getic man, but he could not have made
much of an impression upon them, for no
one seems to have remem bered his name
For the first few issues the paper had an
enormous circulation. A few of the big
stores inserted advertising matter. Inter
est fell off, however, as the novelty wore
away. The Chinese went back to their
old practice of passing gossip from mouth
TO mouth There was no exciting trouble
in the fatherIand at that time to FIJI the
paper with interesting news. It died and
was buried without ceremony Some of
the Chinese still hold bills against the
company.
