MAKING A MATCH.
Result of the Inauisitiveness of . Chinese NObIeman at an EveR-
 ing Function.

"One of the interesting novelties o1 the social life of the new century is the occasional appearance of our Mon- 'golian neighbors in society,"" said a matron to a New York Tribune man. "It goes to show how small the world really is and how intimate the nations lare becoming. As yet, these visiting lnoblemen from the orient are few and far between, but they will undoubted- Iy soon be as familiar sight in our idrawing-rooms as are the titled Hin- ,doos in England. Although he often speaks English remarkably well, a iChinaman has no idea of what con- ventionally ought or ought not to be said, and his artless frankness in this respect is most amusing. He also asks questions with a direct simplicity that is sometimes embarrassing. "A Chinese nobleman who was pre- sented to a young woman at an even ing function not long ago began the conversation after the manner of his nation by propounding series of questions. At first the answers were easy. Do you live in New York" Have you both parents living" Have you brothers and sisters?' How old are you?'
 ''These being answered to his satis- faction, he became more particular in his inquiries.
 "'Why are you not married?'
 Perhaps the right person has not asked me- answered the young wom- an, laughing.
 "'Have you any objection to matri- mony? asked the Chinaman, grayely.
 Not in the least,' she replied, inn mensely amused by his persistence.
 For the time being he seemed satis- fled, but later in the evening he came up to her with young American. who evidently had no idea of what was in store for him. This is MT. Robinson began the old man; he is a graduate of Harvard; he. too, is un- married, and also has no objection to matrimony. Why do you not marry him?'
 And the odd part of it all was that he actually made the match, for the pair, who until then were not ac- quainted, were engaged not long afterward."

The Kaiser's Government Desires Only to Enforce Claims Due Sub jectS-WiII Not Incur Enmity
 of the United States.

BERLIN. Dec. 31.-The small Ger man cruiser Gazelle has been ordered to sail immediately from Kiel to Ven ezuelan waters. The government in- tends to send one or two other small warships to re-enforce the present Ger man squadron in the Caribbean sea. The additions to Germany'S naval force in the Caribbean will not be sufti- cient to give rise to suspicious among the people of the United States that Germany meditates anything beyond the collection of claims due German subjects The German government de- sires beyond anything else in this mat ter to avoid disturbing the govern ment or the people of the United States.
 The German newspapers are full or expressions of this kind, and many or these expressions are so much alike that it is easy to infer their utterance was suggested by the government remarkable thing is the fact that there is not single unkind expression to- ward the United States in any of this newspaper comment.
 Even the dispatch from Washington to New York newspaper to the CT feet that persons of importance in the war and navy departments consider war between Germany and the United States to be inevitable has been repro duced everywhere throughout Germa- ny. It is discussed coolly and for the most part treated with incredulity.
 We hope that this opinion" says the Berliner Neueste Nachrichten, which grew out of the Spanish war and which we consider to be wholly err roneoNs, will soon give place to more correct conception of Germany's aims. It is quite unreasonable that the peo- pie in the United States holding such opinion should connect this opinion with the Venezuelan affair, insomuch as Washington has been fully inform ed of Germany's intentions"
 The Tageblatt prints double lead ed cable dispatch from Washington setting forth that the principal mill- tary and naval authorities there con slider that war between the United States and Germany sooner or later IS inevitable. The United States embas- sador, Andrew D. White. informed the German newspaper men who called at the. embassy that sa.e reports of the possibility of war between the United States and Germany were the thin nest kind of sensational nonsense"

.M..ter of the Musick.e

The court position of master of the musick," to which Sir Walter Parratt was reappointed recently in London, is much sought after by com posers. One first hears of this quaint office in 1860, the first holder being Davies Nell, famous as violinist and clockmaker. John Bannister, his suc- cessor, was dismissed because he dared to think that English yiolinists were superior to those who came from France. In 1872 Thomas Pur. cell, uncle of the great Henry Purcell, held the appointment, and he was succeeded ten years later by Dr. Nicholas Staggins, the first professor of music at Cambridge university Sir Walter Parratt, who is the organist of St. Georges chapel, Windsor, and who is an eminent chess player, was appointed master of the musick" in 1893 on the death of Sir William Cusins. The band he conducts com sists of 34 instrumentalists, one of whom, the harpist, is woman. When performing before the court they wear very picturesque costume of blue.-C Chicago rd-Herald.

MANY TESTS MADE.
New York Commissioner of Agricu1-
 ture Reports Work Done.


 ture Reports Work Done.
 ALBANY, Dec. 31 - The commis- sioner of agriculture in his annual re- port to the legislature states that com- paratively little oleomargarine was sold within the state during the past year and that in all probability nearly all that was exposed for sale was de tected by the men working in his de partment. During the year 176 such detections were made and reported to the attorney general for prosecution.
 "A great majority of these cases" says the report, were in New York city and were mostly against persons who were clandestinely attempting sales, induced by the large profit or margin that comes from the sale of such goods as butter at a butter price. The milk law is being enforced as Jest we can. Violations of the law detect ed during the year were 4,160. The amount of milk received in New I> K city during the year 1901 was 14,OO0,- GOO forty quart cans.
 .'The vinegar law is being enforced, and the whole number of cases refer- reu To Ine attorney general Tor prose cution was thirty-six.'
 The commissioner reports the amount of sugar beets raised in this state dur- ing the year for manufacture into sugar, in the aggregate, was about 47,OOO tons and that from this will be manufactured about 9,O0O,OoO pounds of sugar.
 The department has caused the ex- herds The number of cases of dis ease found to exist aggregated 175. About 400 head of cattle have been tested with tuberculin for tuberculosis, and thirty horses have been tested with mallein for glanders.

Fight Against Railway COnsoAidG-
 tion Will Be to a Finish.
 HELENA, Mon., Dec. 3f.-No action was taken yesterday at the meeting of the governors and attorneys general of the northwestern states called to con sider plans for opposing the proposed consolidation of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington rail- way systems. From the discussion at these meetings, however, it is consid- cred probable that the plan of Govern or Van Sant of Minnesota will be in- dorsed by the executives of the other states who are present and that the fight against the railroad consolidation will be carried to finish. What this plan is Governor Van Sant refuses to state until the meeting shall have talk en action. The meetings were held in Governor Toole's private office and be- hind closed doors. There were pres ent besides Governor Toole and Attor- ney General Donovan of Montana, Governor Van Sant and Attorney Gen. eral Douglas of Minnesota. Governor Herreid and Attorney General Pyle of South Dakota, Governor Hunt and Attorney General Martin of Ida ho and Attorney General Stratton of Washington, Governor Mcbride of that state not being able to be present on account of the death of the late Governor Rogers.
 Governor White of North Dakota was also expected to attend the confer ence and, in fact, had telegraphed Governor Van Sant that he would be present. In a later telegram, however, he stated that it was impossible for him to attend the meetings.
 The meeting was organized by the election of Governor Van Sant as chair man and Attorney General Martin of Idaho as secretary. Governor Van Sant made a brief speech in regard to the objects of the meeting, giving a brief history of the proposed railway consolidation and the effect he believ- ed it would have on the states affected.
