RIGHT TO NATURALIZATION.
Z CHINAMAN RAISES NEW AND
INTERESTING POINT.
says He Was Born Under the British
Flag, nnd Has n Right to Becom
a Citizen of the United states
Prosecuting Attorney to Decide.

Prosecuting Attorney McEiroy has an
interesting and what is considered en-
tfeiy new question to pass an opinion
upon. Briefly expressed, 1t is as follows:
May a hinama born under the British
nag become a citizen OF the United
States7
This question was submitted TO a num-
per or attorneys yesterday afternoon.
some OF them said IL was plain that IL
the Chinaman was a British subject no
was entitled to the right OF becoming
a citizen of the United States. Others
said that no matter II he had been born
under the English flag the exclusion act
would prevent him from becoming a citl-
zen. While there was n great variety
or opinion. all agreed that the question
involved was unique and certain to at
tract widespread attention.
,lne matter came up In County Clerk
holloways office late yesterday after
noon a young man who looked 10 be
a chinaman and said he was one as far
~ blood went, asked Chief Deputy Clerk
wallace to permit him to make declara-
non OF ms Intentions to become a United
States citizen.
Mr., Wallace looked Mt the young man
In surprise, and finally asked him how
he figured out that he had a right 10 be-
come a citizen. even If he was allowed to
make his declaration. you are a China
man unless | am greatly mistaken said
My parents were Chinese" replied the
young man.. but ! was born under the
BritiSh nag In H~ongkong. | claim to he
a British subject. and as such am en-
titled TO become naturalized In the United
States"
Well. 7 confess this is a new one on
me-" said Mr. Wallace. 1T Is the hrst
case OF the Kind that has ever come to
my attention. and a question OF SO much
importan'e is involved that ! do not feel
Justified In acting without legal advice.
~ you viii call again In a few davs 1
shall tell YOU what has been decided"
The young man walked away, and Mr..
Wallace wrote a letter to PROSECUTING
Attorney McElroy. asking his opinion.

to look above the superstitious ideas OF
his people, and when he returned home,
his education complete, he dared to
give expression to his radical ideas;
this was the method taken to convince
him that Conservatism was the best
policy" He evidently learned the last
lesson well, for, when telling me the
story, he said: swatch me tomorrow,
and you will see that I dance more
vigorously than any other Acoma In
dian." And so he did. but the religious
influence Of it was somewhat lost by
the fact that each time I passed him
and he thought he was unobserved by
his people, he turned and gravely
''winked" at me.

When Signs Fail.

Scientific inquiry is sometimes curl
ously baked. a professor of one of
our colleges who is summer resident
of little New England village on his
firstrounds this year met native towns
man who told him, among other items
of local interest, of the illness of his
wife. II am sorry to hear it," said the
professor, all sympathy at once. what
is the cause of her illness?" This her
husband was not prepared to say, but
at length admitted that some called it
one thing and some another. BY judi
cious questions, however, the professor
learned enough to satisfy himself that
the. sick woman was suffering from
epilepsy, and began to inquire for IA
miliar symptoms. The answers he re-
ceived were, in general, convincing.
Finally, he asked: docs your wife
grind her teeth while asleep?" "Well,
no, I've never noticed that she did,"
was the reply; ''but don't know as I
ever remember of her wearing her
teeth to bed."-Youth's Companion.
