A REoEug DISCOVERY.

Among the most magnificent and ex-

populace, and the vast ruins still exist

unparalleled luxury of their arrange

each bath was built entirely of stone
and polished marble, and all of the
apartments were beautifully ornament
ed with mosaic, and profusedly adorned
with paintings. One of Caracalla'
baths was capable of allowing $4,000
people to battle at one time. In Ho-
nolulu the only bath is Bath the
Plumber and his Douglass Closet.

Attack Upon Nc Mon War Said
to be the Result of Fire

A war on all Chinese tongs is likely

Mon War, the Chinese lawyer and late
candidate for representative on the
Home Rule ticket. Deputy Sheriff Chill
lingworth stated yesterday that he had
been trying for a long time to get evil
dence against the Chinese tongs, in
order 10 break them up. but had been
unable to do so. When the Mon War
case comes to trial, it is likely that
something will develop to make posi-
BILE a prosecution of the tongs generally,
on charge of conspiracy.
Members of the Wing Yee Tong and
of the See Yup Society are said to have
made threats yesterday against the life
of Officer All On. They have no
grievance particularly against the
Chinese officer for his arrest of the
assailants of Mon War, but what they
do object to is that he ascribed the
assault to warning tongs.
HE should have made up some kind
of story" the Chinese are reported to
be saying, "and not tell about the tongs

possible. When d. man is once hound
by the oath Of the society, h, sin,Ily
won't testify against it's members, no
matter how lawless they become. The
tongs should be Droxen UP. They are
nothing more nor less than organiZa-
lions of conspirators, and they could
be prosecuted on a charge of consp,r-
. acy. We have never been able yet to
get into their meetings, or beyond the
outer door. 1t is possible that when
i the Mon War case goes to trial, Some
thing may be developed in the evil
dence that can be used in breaking ~
the tongs. 1t has been impossible to
get evidence against any of the tongs
from any source. They keep their
secrets well guarded, but I hope to ge,

The assault upon Mon War is re-
ported to have grown out of his col
lection of fire claims. 1t was charged
by one of the men under arrest that
Mon War collected money from the
government upon the Chinese fire
claims, and then failed to make prop
er accounting to the owners. 1t was
said also that the men who assaulted
him were members of his tong.
All On, the Chinese officer who was
threatened for giving away the fact
that the tongs were at war, is not al
all frightened. Sheriff Chillingwortf
says the plucky young Chinese officer
is better able to take care of hinselt
than most white men would be.

To Please His Critics.

Half century ago Wagner was Sc
verely criticised in London for con-
Quoting concerts without score. He
was giving some Beethoven concerts,
and he knew the masters symphonies
by heart. After the first performance
ore of the London papers scolded the
composer of "Tannhauser' for directing
the symphony without a score in front
of him. At the next concert young
Wagner had a book of music open be-
fore him on the desk. The following
day the same newspaper printed a
commendatory article, which praised
him for his better Interpretation of
Beethoven, the improvement due, of
course, to the use of the score. Wag-
ner announced for the benefit of his
critic that the score in front of him
on the previous evening was that of
Rossini's opera, 'The Barber of Sc
ville"-turned upside down.-Youth' g
Companion.

GODS WORLD.

"A rustic stood upon a mountain side
And saw the sun in gorgeous glory set;
Inc rustic saw a canvas that was wide,
A picture that he never might forget!
He saw the dark, green valley spread
below,
Beheld the distant, crimson peaks
a-gleam
And dreamed the dreams inspired poets
dream.
And often others gladly fingered there
10 see the gorgeous picture Nature
spread;
They gazed in wonder, breathing Gods
And turned, exalted, When the light
had fled!
They listened to the pine trees murmur-
ings,
They drank up gladness from the leap
ing brook,
And thought the gracious lord had
planned these things
That all mankind might quaf and hear
and look.
One day a rich man CHANGED to lnger
there,
He gazed across the valley dark and
green;
sweet, pure air,
And rather liked the spleNdor of the
scene.
Therefore he bought it all, that only he
Might henceforth stand and gaze ex-
Allied awed,
And fenced it in, that no one else might
see
And rise little nearer to his God

Where They Were Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
erality distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
of the country. In his book on 1.-THE
Overland Stage to California Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overland
mails were sometimes relieved. Be-
fore the daily mail went into opera ton,
and when a stage went to Salt Lake
City only once week, some of the
hoys on the line used to despise a
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail matter
came quite handy at times. Occasion
ally the drivers, as they themselves
said, would get stalled going through
a bad slough in rough weather, and
would be unable to move. In that
case they were obliged to take out sack
after sack of the pub. Docs.," open the
bags, and pile the massive books from
the government printing Office into the
slough, and by building a solid foun-
dalton with them, were enabled thus to
pull the coach out of the mire.

SAyAGES IN HOTELS.
platnt OF q Host Who Secs How His
Patrons Disregard Decency
and Destroy Property.

In all the big hotels of New York there
are rooms that the guests never see or
hear of. Some of them are in the base
ment and some are on the roof, accord
lcg to the convenience of the manage
ment. They belong to the carpenters,
engineers. electricians and other work.
men who are kept busy every day all
the year round, says the Times. In
every hotel of pretensions large force
is required to mend furniture, do odds.
and ends of painting, put on door locks,
repair broken water pipes, and do any
number of other things that are indis-
pensable If the house is to appear in
good order all the time.
1T is my experience" says the man
ager of hotel in Broadway, 'that men
and women who will put up with no
home or in cheap boarding house kick
nightly if they do not find everything
spick and span at a hotel. A man who
will sit night after night in a frayed
chair in his parlor at Four Corners will
make an awful fuss if he finds a neglect
ed piece of furniture in hotel parlor
or bedroom. A women who has to light
the parlor stove every day when she is
at home and spend half her time in keep
ing the house warm, will say she is cold
even if the steam is on at full pressure
in her room at hotel, and she will
keep man busy two or three hours
day running around to see if there is
not something the matter with the
pipes.
1T seems to be weakness with some
folks to take it out of the furniture in
hotels in order to get their moneys
worth. A man who will not dare to
throw a burnt match on the carpet in
his own house, and who would as soon
think of flying as of lying on the bed
with his boots on, will Go these things
and worse in hotel bedroom. 1t takes
two or three hours to put the room in
order after he has gone. Often we have
to send at least one piece of furniture to
the repair shop. If one of the small
furniture dealers scattered around the
city could get as much furniture to
mend as is sent to hotel repair shops
every day he would begin to talk about
prosperity.
Perhaps I am putting it strongly, but
In all seriousness, carelessness and will

men and women from whom such a
thing would not be expected-puts us
to great expense. Would man spit to-
bacco on carpet or burn curtains and

done every day in hotel Some men
will not scratch match anywhere else
if they can scratch it on the wall pa

again, lot of room we should like
for other purposes is occupied with I'M
claimed trunks and other baggage be-
longing to persons who have forgotten

keep rooms especially for this, and they
have anywhere from 100 to $50 trunks
on hand all the time. They are Obliged

Many proprietors keep them year.
