Wong Win, published in a local Chinese

1t seems to me that the Advertiser
has always in mind that retaliation
clause of the new Chinese Progressive

Whether the said prospectus. pub

at any length of time. But does that
retaliation clause govern other societies
besides that of the Bow Wong? l cam
not forbear to think that other Chinese
societies have been attacked for having
their methods dark and objects secret,

Now let us consider that retaliation

SETS A BAD EXAMPLE

One of the results of the Sheldon
newspaper scheme will be to start no
end of freaks and religious enthusiasts
TO attempting all sorts of foolish things
and enterprises "as Jesus would" The
fellow who is running for Congress in
Kansas and conducting his campaign
on this sacrilegious basis is the most
prominent imitator of Sheldon up to the
present time. Unfortunately, the sac
rilege of half of these schemes will not
be apparent to that portion of the Am
erican public swayed by religious fer
vor, 10 matter what shape it takes
while on the other hand, it furnishes
an opportunity to another very large
element in our American life to scofi
at religion.-Philadelph Press.

COURTS FIRST SESSION
BEFORE THE CLAIMS
JUDGES.
One Claim Returned Because Not on
Official Blanks-sittings to Continue
Despite Kicks.

The Court of Claims held it's first
session in the Office of the Chief JUS
tice at the Judiciary building yesterday
afternoon, beginning about 2:30 o'clock.
The four desks were occupied by Presi-
dent Magoon and members George A.
Davis, Lorrin Andrews and A. f. Judd,
Jr. Miss de Cew, official stenographer,
had a desk in front and facing the
court The sergeant-at-arms, Mr..
Campton, attended to the distribution
of blanks to applicants.
The court was formally opened by
the "Oh yes" of the sergeant-at-arms.
Mr. Magoon inquired if there We're any
claims and was informed that one had
been handed in. 1t was from Nick
Breham, and asked for 5000 for loss of
his soda water outfit and other goods
in Smith street on January 20. The
claim was made out on a piece of or
binary writing paper.
Il move" interrupted Mr.. Davis,
that that claim be returned to Mr..
Breham with the statement that it is
not made out on an official blank and
therefore can not be considered by this
court. We are here to do this business
properly, and the first move is to re-
quire that it be properly presented"
The bill was referred to the stenogra-
pher to be returned to Mr.. Breham.
Attorney Brooks, who represents
about thirty Chinese merchants al
ready, applied for blanks and then ask
ed the court if the deposit of 500 would
be insisted upon. Mr.. Davis replied
that the 500 deposit would be required
except in cases of destitute circurl-
stances, which, however, would have
to be shown by. the applicant Mr.. Ma
coon replied that the Cabinet was
working on a change of the regulations
already printed which would make the
fling of claims easier to people of mo-
derate circumstances. Mr.. Brooks
stated that he had no clients who were
in destitute circumstances or who
would have to avail themselves of the
modification, but he felt sure that there
would be a large number who could
not pay.
The court then went into executive
session. The remainder of the session
was given to discussion of public cri-
ticism of the court and to the work of
organizing. r. II. Hitchcock was elect
ed Hawaiian interpreter.
The court announces that it will hold
sessions every afternoon, beginning at
2 O'Clock. Members of the court will
try to hoe a clean row" and to pay
no attention to the kicks of the town.

WILLIAMSBURG, VA, Feb. Especial
Frank SEayton, mot Staten who passed
forged check on Richmond merchant
yesterday, is well known here. where he
spent year or more in the Eastern
State Hospital He was committed for
what is known as 'tmoral insanity" but
it is better explained as family infiu-
ence." Slayton is highly connected, and
when he first forged the name of Captain
BossieuX, his friends succeeded In get
ting him off upon the plea of insanity.
While here Slayton was a model pa
tent, dressed neatly, played tennis and
croquet and enjoyed himself generally,
having the freedom of the town. Re-
Gently he appeared here dressed in the
uniform Of a second lieutenant of the
United States Army, and pretended to
be on his way west to report to his SUI
perior officer. He figured in Massachu-
sets society as a West Point cadet, and
succeeded, it is alleged, in swindling his
new friends in the same manner in
Richmond yesterday.
When Slayton first came here he was
handsome youth, but since his discharge
from the hospital ''as cured.' his coun-
tenance has undergone 4 complete
change, not to his advantage. He is a
slick talker and his insanity is no worse
than that of many another less highly
connected boy who mas made his living
by forgery. robbery and the balance of
the category OF crimes.

COL. GOODIES GENEROSITY.
The Tobacco Warehouse Bill Not
Favored at Chase City.

s CHASE CITY, VA. Feb. Especial
Mr.. Walter v. Gregory, county chairman
of the Board of Supervisors. Informed
me to-day that he had received from
Colonel Thomas F. Goode, proprietor of
Buffalo Lithia Springs, one thousand dol
lars to be distributed as an addition to
the allowance made by the State of Vfr-
ginia to the Confederate pensioners of
the county of Mecklenburg. This amount
will be apportioned among them at
Boydton on the 26th of this month.
This is tha seventh annual contribution
of a like sum of that generous friend and
benefactor of the old Confederate soldiers.
and his name deserves to be cherished
and honored by all participants in the
great conflict from 81 to IS as one whose
heart is as broad as his patriotism; whose
sympathies are ever with the, needy, and
entitled to be placed in the galaxy Of the
noble names Of the Lost Causei His acts
prove his devotion.
General Early once told me that the
two Goodies, Thomas F. and John, and a
Colonel! c., think Of Eastern Virginia,
and himself were the only members OF
the Secession Convention, who were then
living. who, under all vicissitudes, had
been true to the Southern cause and the
State of Virginia
The bill proposed in the Legislature to
regulate the charges Of warehouses for
the sale of leaf tobacco meets with no
favor here. The Tobacco Board of Trade
strongly disapproves it. II enacted, 1t
will not operate to the advantage, Of
either the farmers or the warehouseman-
It's i'll effects will be felt by all. The
present system seems to be satisfactory
TO those concerned The local tobacco
markets are greatly to the advantage OF
the producers and the community, con-
Quoted by experienced men at great e1-
pense, and there is always sufficient COM
petition to keep the charges uniform and
within reasonable limits.
The prevailing impression is that no ad-
ditional legislation is necessary, and the
best policy would be to lett well enough
alone.'' There are plenty OF Federal,
state and local laws as to taxation ana
license about the tobacco trade. John
Randolph once said. TOO much legtsla-
