CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM.

The Battle Of Stones Which Marks
Beginning of New Year.
One Of the most curious customs in
Korea marks the advent of the new
year. This is the battle with stones,
participated in by inhabitants of Seoul.
At spot about mile and half out
side the city walls, on the main road to
the Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses of or par
Elephants In this truly remarkable exhf-
bition of warlike good will By previ-
GUS arrangement piles of stones are in
readiness, all carefully selected and of
a convenient size.
Without previous selection Of COM
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies, about the
only qualification for service being ap-
parently the ability to hurl stone at
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing is at long range
and uninteresting, but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious, men
being detailed to collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes, the two bodies meet, fierce rush
eS are made, stones are discarded, and
knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash of weapons, the screams of the
combatants, the surging mass of men,
some being trampled to death, now
falling, now struggling to their feet, the
blood flowing from numerous cuts-the
whole goes to make picture that de
picts anything but the joy we attribute
to the coming of a new year. The fight
is kept up until the clang Of the great
city bell tells the combatants that it is
time to return home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
of the celebration is that during tie
remaining eleven months of the year
the Korean is as amiable a person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writers the average Korean is
characterized as the most AFFECT cow
! ard on the face of the earth.
But, towards or no towards, the
Korean people still indulge, as they
have for years, in this annual warlike
welcome of the new year. Indeed it Is
legal in Korea to fight not only on
New Years day, but during the first
moon or month of the year. The Gus
tom has become a national institution,
sanctioned by the government and
patronized by the king and the nobtli-
ty. The police attend the battles, but
merely to keep order among the specta-
tors. Fighting is the Koreans priv
lege with the advent of each new year,
and he is expected to exercise that
privilege to the extent of his ability if
he would be accounted a good, country
loving Korean.-New York Tribune.

NEW HOUSE DooRKEEPER.
Frank 3. Lyon of Cuba, N. Y, Sue.
ceeGs w. J. Glenn.

ceecs w. J. Glenn.
Washington, March 19.-When the
house met Frank B. Lyon of Cuba, N
Y, was elected doorkeeper to succeed
| the late w. J. Glenn. The oath was
Immediately administered to Mr.. Lyon
by the speaker.
The house then went into committee
of the whole and resumed considera
ton of the river and harbor bill
When Mr.. Hepburn Ga), who has
fought river and harbor bills ever
since he came to congress, arose to
speak there was an outburst of ap.
plause on both sides of the house.
81 arise to make my annual contribu-
ton to river and harbor literature with
miscellaneous assortment of emo
tions," he began. 81 recognize" he con-
tinued, the utter futility of saying any
thing against this bill. l recognized
that fact years ago when the pork in
the barrel was only $S,000,000. How
manifestly impossible is it to make
Roadway against it now that the ap.
preparations aggregate $60,0O0,OOO."
Mr.. Hepburn commended the COM
mittee for taking the black track"
upon wasteful expenditures in certain
directions, pointing out the abandon
ment Of further improvements of the
Missouri river as final fulfillment of
predictions made Is years ago.
He said that congress should set a
definite limit upon the depth of water
sought to be obtained in seaport har-
bors-30 feet for instance-and place
Limit on naval architecture. Other
wise, he declared, there would be no
end to the depth of water which would
be demanded.
Speaking of the Hennepin canal Mr..
Hepburn admitted that he had voted
for it.
"But considering the mental pen
ance have undergone since" said he,
"and my infancy and ignorance when
I cast the vote, it will not go as hard
with me as with a hard-headed old
sinner like my friend from Illinois
(Mr. Reeves) if he should attempt to
indulge in another such freak of leg
islation." Laughter).
'The canal was projected to get the
produce of the farmers of Iowa to the
Great Lakes" suggested Mr.. Reeves.
"Quite true" retorted Mr.. Hepburn,
'but the farmers of that day are all
dead while the incomplete canal con-
tinues to draw it's annual appropria-
tions from the treasury" (Renewed
laughter).
While acquitting the chairman of
the committee of looking to anything
but the public welfare Mr.. Hepburn
said there were gentlemen upon the
committee who did not hesitate to
"log rolf to secure appropriations for
their own schemes
Mr.. Lawrence (Mass.), member of
the committee, defended the bill in an
extended speech.

BILL Is FAVORED
SENATE COMMITTEE CONCLUDES
CONSIDERATION OF WAR
REVENUE MEASURE.
WILL Be REPORTED SHORTLY

Although Greatly Changed in Phrase
oIogy Its Provisions Are the Same as
When Passed by the House-Hep-
burn of Iowa Makes His Annual
Speech in Opposition to River and
Harbor Appropriations.
Washington, March 19.-The senate
committee on finance has concluded
the consideration of the bill repeating
the war revenue act and authorized a
favorable report on it. The bill is
greatly changed in phraseology and it
is announced that it will probably not
be in shape to be reported for day or
two.
The bill, as it will be reported, re-
moves all the taxes of the war rev.
enue act and the only changes made
are those of language, making sure
of this result.
Among other changes made in the
language of the bill is one fixing the
rate On tobacco at cents per pound.
The delay in reporting the bill is &C.
casioned by threats on the part of sem
ators to offer amendments to the bill.
Senator Foraker has said that he
would present provision for Cuban
reciprocity. This, it is known, would
arouse long debate, and the Republic
an members of the finance committee
are eXerting themselves to prevent the
offering Of the amendment. Democrat
ic senators generally express them
selves as willing to allow an uncondi-
tional repeal bill to pass without
amendments.

Florence NightingaIe's Real Nam

Florence N1ghtfngale's Real Name.
The fact is but little known that the
family name Of Florence Nightingale
was not originally Nightingale, but
Shore. Her father was a rich Sheffield
banker of the name of Shore and con-
nected with an old family which had
been in possession Of land in the coun-
ties of Derby and York since the fif-
teenth century. Mr.. Shore assumed the
name of Nightingale long after the
birth of his children and because he in
herited the fortune and estates Of his
mothers uncle. There were but two
children in the family, both girls. The
eldest was named Parthenosse, be-
cause she was born in Athens, and this
name was supposed to indicate her IA
theirs profound admiration for the Par
thenon. The younger, Florence, was
also named after the city of her birth.

But when it came to the selection of
Juliet there were two Candidates, as
follows Mrs. Skilligan and Mrs. Win
kle Each of these estimable Ladies
had a kind of an inward Hunch that
she could revive Memories of Mary
Anderson and leave Maude Adams

for what she lacked in Looks and
Youthfulness, she could make up in
Jewelry. So she began to lay her
Pipes and do some tall Scheming.
In the Meantime, Mrs. Wrinkle was
studying the Lines and checking of
the Names of all Members who would
not dare to throw her down. Mrs.
Wrinkle could see herself on the Bal
cony giving an entirely new Interpre-
tation of the Part. She had discover

Lines and she wanted to hand out the
Immortal Hot Stuff in such n Way
that Folks would forget all about Julia

Crack that started a Giggle. Juliet
lasted but she was too Pink for Words.
Then Mrs. Skilligan said she was
sorry for the Poor Thing for it really
wasn't her Fault as she had been bun
koed into thinking she was Good.
Juliet hid Curtain Calls, or two
more than Melbas Record, and before
the Night was over she received so
many Flowers and was complimented
so often by those who came up to her
little Supper Party, that she had a
good Notion to leave Wrinkle and go
and work for Charley Frohman. In
fact, at 3 a. m. she was ready to make
Affidavit that she had Virginia Harm

Next Day the Paper said that she
was Great and she took 200 Extra
Copies and read them all herself and
then sent few to the Skilligans.
About a month after that Mrs. Skill
ligan gave a Fancy Dress Ball with
Costumes all the Way from st. Louis
