How Mathews Pawned = Spoon.
Charles Mathews was well known
among his friends and admirers for his
remarkable powers Of rapid imitation
and characterization.
He was invited once, with his man
ager and two others. to dine with citi-
zen, who. though he carried on pawn
brokering business, was an amusing
fellow. 1t seems he kept but one as
sistant, and. during the dinner hour,
the host was called out of the dining
parlor, at the back Of the shop, to at
tend customer.
Mathews, altering bis hair, turning
up his collar and putting on another
mans hat--of course with suitable
change of countenance-to0k a large
silver gravy-spoon from the table, ran
into the street, and entering one of the
little boxes that universally shield one
customer from another at pawnbrok-
ers' counters pledged to his unsuspect-
ing host his own piece OF. plate, and re-
turned to his place at table as the
pawnbroker re-entered the room, un-
conscious of the joke.

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitu-

Ing. and when 1t Is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,

Racing From England.

The deep-water sailor dearly loves a
race and when two vessels, steamers
or sailors, are leaving port together for
the same destination, there is usually
keen contest between them for the
honor of the first arrival. Two sailing
vessels are now sailing to the Royal
Roads from Liverpool, and as both are
about due to arrive, there is no small
amount of interest displayed in the
event on the waterfront. The Compel
ing vessels are the 991-ton bark BruS-
sells, and the 1,997-ton ship Imberhorne
both of which are bringing cargoes of
general merchandise for Victoria and
Vancouver merchants from the port on
the MerSey. The smaller vessel seems
to be the favorite, she being noted as q
fast sailer. She left on January 20 and
had a fair run down to the line, near
where she was spoken on February q.
The Imberhorne left two days after the
bark, and was last seen passing Fer
nando Narondha on March 2. The
average passage is from 120 to $50 days,
so the racing wind tanners can be
looked for at any time now.-Victoria,

Japanese Rejected.

Yesterdays Tacoma Ledger contains
the following interesting paragraph:
"Forty-five Japs, brought down on
the steamer Victorian from Victoria
Tuesday night, were examined
yesterday, and the whole number
was rejected. They could give no salts
factory reason for coming to the United
States, and some of them could not
pass a rigid physical examination.
They will likely be sent back to Victo-
ria, unless they raise a purse among
themselves and take an appeal to
Washington. They have this advan-
tage over their brothers on board the
Oriental ships, if they are rejected they
cannot be sent farther than Victoria,
and they will still have left to them
the chance to smuggle across the Dor
der in case they still want to come to
the United States" The Japs referred
to, however, have not yet been returned
to Observation-Disclosures, June l.

are being praised for your noble stand
on this question. not simply by church
people, but by hundreds OF good citi-

shall not be deied in this city by buns
and threats, and brow-beatlng and far
cIcnl arrests and lodges In the law. The
public Is aroused Public sentiment
has been lnsulted In the most aagrant
manner and cloud Of wrath is about
to burst upon the heads of the Wheel
ing base ball club, which, am afraid.
Will not only stop their playing on Sum
day, but seriously interfere with the at
tendance upon the game during the
week days. In case that all of the
games are played strictly In accordance
with the law, the good citizens OF the
community are willing to paronize the
ball park. But on this ground only.
The people who are so staunchly fight
ing Sunday base bali arc lovers of the
Irrational game" but are too loyal to
the best moral interests OF this commu-
nifty to countenance any set of men
who desacrate the Sabbath and defy the
spirit and the letter Of the law.
And, Mr. Editor. let me say with all
respect to our other respected daily pa
pers in this city, that when the Intelli-
gencer speaks. the community listens;
and the weight OF this most excellent
editorial Is tremendous on the side of
law and order.
