Some days ago one OF the well known
watermen was passing the ice plant with
a pipe in his mouth. Suddenly he drew
in long "draw' and stopped short, ex-
claiming "My. but that hartshorn they
make ice out OF does smell strong !"
The facts in the case are these A pipe
OF the numerous coils in the ice plant
that contained ammonia had sprung a
leak and the escaping odor OF amonia had
become SO strong that all the employees
at the plant were forced out of doors and
the doors thrown open. Ammonia filled
the air for some distance around, and
when the follower of Neptune drew a
Whit at his pipe. he inhaled a good
quantity of the fluid that helps to freezs
water. His friends have had the Joke
on him and "harishorn" ever since.

Rocllhill left the United States he was of opinion that it would not, be sufficient merely to look into conditions in Shan-Tung province and in Peking, but that it would be necessary for him to visit other provinces and cities where there was disquiet and danger to foreign in terests Then he will be able to give the president a comprehensive outline of the Chinese conditions up to date.

 "On your golng to see her Majesty the Queen in London, you must look upon her with the game dignity and respect as you look upon our royal Court; to respect her Majesty more than myself is unnecessary show of tattery, and to pay her less respect than myself is rudeness and agalnst courtesy. 1 need not give you more details and full particulars in this respect, as you daily practice how to pay your respects and in what manner to appear before my royal Court.
 When you are in the company of other gentlemen, and especially when any ladies are present, you must take care not to spit and not to put fingers into your nose, etc. You can smoke in the presence of gentlemen. but when ladies are present you must take their permission before smoking.
 You may shake hands with gentle men at the time of first introduction, but with the ladies you must only make a bow when you are first introduced, but not shake hands till you meet them second time.
 Ladies can shake hands with their gloves on, but a gentleman ought to take off the glove of his right hand to shake hands. and for this ason gen erally the gentlemen wear gloves on their left hand and keep the glove of the right hand off to be able to shake hands without any delay; but they can shake hands with gloves on after it is evening""

 After reasonable time for a Chi nee. ray of light seemed to force it's way through the thick head of the in- terpreter and taking a hitch in his think tank he asked the witness the question: There was a sunburst of chopstick language with the badly ar ranged pronographic variations, and the progressive interpreter repeated to the Court the identical language that he had used before asking the question. Several other questions were asked but the answers had all to be taken in trust. and the result of the game was that one side said you did" and the other side said T didn't"

THE RECORDERS MATINEE
Judge Tarver Had an Interpreter in His Court Yesterday
 Afternoon.

Every element necessary in the mak- ing of a high-class farce comedy was present in the Recorders Court yes terday afternoon. It was a case of Africa against the effete East in the persons of sundry Celestial laundry men. and after the atmosphere had cleared from the dust of combat it was tOss-up as to who had won out.
 Francis Solomon. a negro. had Char ley Chingkee arrested on the charge of flimflaming him out of a ten dollar bill. It was like this. Solomon said that he went into the laundry of this former subject of His Pigtailed High ness and gave him the $10 in payment for some laundry. The almond-eyed son of Confucius. so the negro claimed got out the laundry and after putting the crisp green note, representing Uncle Sam's coin of the realm. in the till claimed that he had never received any money. Then there was trouble. This was Act of the comedy. Act ? took place yesterday afternoon and the final curtain will ring down this afternoon when Judge Brit Tarver un- burdens himself of an opinion in the case.
 The story of the affair as told by the negro. was intelligibe so far as language went. but the pigeon Eng lish that followed was enough to drive one to crime The Chinese contingent had a lawyer and he earned every cent Of his money. The gentleman charged with the flim-flam act sat next this lawyer but he insisted on coaching from the bench.

A NEGRO WAS KILLED
CHARLIE ROBERTSON FELL
 FROM EXCURSION TRAIN.
He Was Wanted by the Montgomery Police for Robbery-Pensacola
 Negroes Played Baseball Game Here.

One of the biggest excursion trains that has been seen in a long time came from Pensacola yesterday morning, a colored. or Creole brass band. accom- panying it. Just as the train had passed the Plant System shops in West Montgomery a negro named Charlie Robertson either jumped or fell off the cars and was instantly kill ed.
 Robertson robbed an Italian fruit stand here two years ago and has been a fugitive from the Montgomery police ever since. The supposition is that Sunday morning he attempted to jump from the train in Wess End and avoid detection by the police.
 The band in a wagon paraded over the city most of yesterday morning and the music was above the average.
 Yesterday afternoon there was a ball game at the park between Montgom- cry and Pensacola negroes and it look ed as If every negro in this part of the country was there.
 The excursion train left on the re- turn trip to Pensacola at 12 o'clock last night.
