To peport Celestial.

Wing Lee Hop, Chinaman, who has been cooking for an oflcera at Fort Bar rancas for some months, and who has been cooking for the same employer sev- eral years in Cuba, has been. found to possess no papers to free him from the Gerry Exclusion Act, and will be deport- ed. He is. now in the county jail await ing the expiration of ten days in which he is entitled to appeal, and then he will be taken to San Francisco by United States Marshal McGourin and sent to the Celestial Empire.
 This is the first Chinamen in many years to be deported from this city, and 1t is only by the shrewd work of Immi- grafton Agent Seraphic that the China man was found out. Lee Hop was in Cuba at the time of the Spanish-Ameri- can war and when the American forces took possession of the island the China man engaged himself to an American army officer. The forces were ordered to the United States and the cook came along. He was living on Easy Street un- til the immigration agent came along and found out that he was rot entitled to stay here. Then the orders for arrest came. and the Chinaman was ordered de- ported after having made a statement to United States Commissioner Tunison.

The Useful Girl.

New 4Ork weekly,
 A girl who tries to make herself use full Is treasure in the home. Every girl. if she be not hopelessly indolent and thoroughly selfish. is eager to lift some of the burden of household man agement from her mothers shoulders on to her own; but unfortunately. many girls want to be asked to do things, in- stead of being constantly on the lookout for little duties which they are capable of doing.
 If you would be of real use ip the home, you must be quick to notice what Is wanted-the room that needs dusting the flowers that need rearranging the curtain which has lost a ring, and is, therefore, dropping; and then you must not only be willing to do what Is needed, but be willing to do 1t pleasantly, with out making people feel that you are be- ing martyred.
 It is almost useless to take up any ularly. If you do thing one day and no. the next, you can never be depended on and if some one else has to be con stantly reminding you of and supervising your work, 1t probably gives that person more trouble than doing it herself would cause.
 Have a definite day and definite time for all you do The flower vases will need attention every other day the sil- yer must be cleaned once q week. and thefe should be one day kept for mend ing and putting away household linens. Begin, too directly after breakfast. and keep on steadily till the work is done.

 The primary for selecting candidates for the several State. county and conven- tion offices will be tomorrow It will be the hottest contest witnessed in Mobile County since the reconstruction period. Never before was there such. interest manifested in the results. All of the men in the race for the county offices are well known throughout the county.
 While the campaign has been. waged. 50 far without blows. there has been a great deal of warmth engendered, and conservative people fear, that tomorrow some of the feeling will result In unpleas. antness around the, polling places In the city wards. No trouble Is anticipated in the country precincts, though the warmth of feeling has extended beyond the city limits in certain candidacies. Perhaps the most warmth has been exhibited in the race for delegates to the State Conyen- tion. It was expected that only two tick cts of delSaates would be presented. Thts thought pf&SAiled up to Thursday at noon, when the County Executive Committee met to hear argument by men named on the first, or what is, termed the Russell Robinson ticket, one of whom, however. as mentioned. as the first man on the mass meeting ticket. z" 4tsF,.r ~
 Hon. Richard H. Clarke who Is named on both tickets, and who is the first man on the mass meeting ticket. spoke to the committee in advocacy of. an official bal- lot, upon which all the candidates for delegates and alternates should be printed like an Australian ballot. His argument was conservative and of nature to carry weight. Hon. F. O. Hoffman. who is men fioned on the Russell Robinson ticket. but not on that of the mass meeting, also addressed the committee on the same lines as did Mir. Clarke. During his argument, however. Mir. Hoffman let drop an fnkling of the possibility of trump ticket, or several of them. He stated that, in event the committee did not declare for an of- ficial ballot. 1t was more than likely 'sey- eral combination tickets would be pre- scented at the polls. |,
 Yesterday, when four tickets were an- nounced, with others In prospective foe the battle of the ballots tomorrow one of the latest tickets announced was that in a labor paper on which appears the names of two reporters who knew nothing of the
 ticket until 1t appeared In print. These gentlemen at once announced that they. had not been consulted and knew nothing
 of this slate until after it had appeared
 fin print.
