All Coy has lived up to the above
words of the lamented Bret Harte.
Attorneys John Rourke, Jr., and Ed
win H. Abrahams are forwarding
evidence to China to be used in case
pending in the Chinese courts, if the
celestials have such things. The de-
tails of the case are unusually inter
esting.
All Coy owned a truck farm just out
side of Savannah and gradually he be-
gan to grow prosperous. Then the
desire to increase his wealth by more
rapid stages came over him, and ne
went after the elusive game of fan
tan. He played and played, and-lost
and lost. Then he decided to have
nothing more to do with the innocent
appearing wieIder of the cards and
went to Philadelphia.
During his absence his nephew, one
Chin Lam was left in charge of the
farm. A few weeks later letter.

that suggested chicken tracks, came
to Chin Ian from All Coy. The let
ter instructed Chin to sell the farm
to three Acknowledged fellow-country-
men, Charlie Mong, Robert Ching
Chang, and Tong Kee. This was done,
all debts paid off, the balance for
warded to All Coy. All then left for
China and the rule of the Empress
Dowaeer.
When he arrived there he found that
the parents of Charlie Mong were rich
in this worlds goods, richer than he
himself was. Then he sat down and
pondered and remembered that the
Chinese law said the parents must be
responsible for the debts of their son.
He at once decided that Charlie Wong
owed him much for his farm, and be-
gan action against Charles parents.
The news of the alleged debt that
had come to the Wong's came quick
ly to this country, and here 1t was
found that Charlie owed All nothing,
not even a yen. The evidences of the
sale were then collected by Attorneys
John Rourke, Jr., and Edwin H. Abra-
hams and yesterday morning GER

CITY EXCHANGE FENCE
UP BEFORE COUNCIL.
Report of Committee Was Recon-
Iaittcd for More Discussion.


The report of the Committee on
Streets and Lanes in regard to the
fence around the new City Hall was
recommitted at the meeting of Council
yesterday afternoon.
The application for permission to
erect the fence was referred to the
committee at the meeting two weeks
ago, with power to act. The permits
sion was given and the fence is now
up.
There seemed some doubt as to just
what should be done about the matter,
so the report was Teconmitted to the
committee. The matter will be taken
up by the Committee of the Whole,
however. Mayor Myers said he had no.
titled the contractors that the fence
must not be so high. Occupants in the
Kelly building objected to this, and
rightly so, the Mayor said.
Alderman Davant then explained
matters. He said the question had
been discussed at length in the Com
mittee of the Whole before the appli-
cation was referred to his committee
He presumed the aldermen all knew
that the fence was to be used for ad-
vertising purposes. as the matter was
talked about in caucus. AS the mat
ter was referred to his committee with
power to act he had granted the per-
mission. He had not specified how high
the fence could be.
Work on the fence on the east side
had been stopped Some of the alder
men did not approve of advertising on
the fence, while others appeared to be
worried about the laying of the corner
stone, it being suggested that the
fence might interfere with the cere-
monies there.

ing from the efforts of Mr.. Lon

He assisted Mrs. Waters to car
riage and then returned to Mrs. Young.
When he placed Mrs. Waters in the
carriage, he had put beside her a
suit case, which he thought was hers.

ed up the suit case he thought was
hers, and the two started walking to-
ward the home of Mrs. Sauls, at No.

Young will visit They had proceeded

happened and a search was immediate
Iy begun for Mrs. Waters, but she
could not be found. Whether she has
noticed the mistake is not known. and
if not, there is surprise awaiting
her at Bloomingdale. Meanwhile. each
lady is trying to get in communication
