JOHN cHINAMAN AT HIS EASE.
Celestial Dignifed When He Casts Off
 the Cares of the World.

 the Cares of the World.
 With the summer weather the China man comes before us prominent in h.s artistic silks and in his native nakedS ness. His temperament also becomes q noticeable feature to the observant foreigner and the maner in which he takes his pleasure contrasts marvellous fly with that of the energetical occis dental human being. ss
 In the early hours of the morning; when the rays of Old Sol are tempered with the dissipating deWs of night, the wealthy native, as we'll as the worker
 of low degree, may be seen carrying the cage containing his favorite bird to the native gardens or other tree-ernbower- ed spot and listening in eontemplative ecstasy to the joyous greeting which his caged friend pours forth to the coming glory of the day.
 AS soon as the golden beams become oppressive he retires to his domicile, whether to labor or sleep, 'tis hard 1 to tell. Tn any case, he is wise, for has
 he not caught the beauty of the grand lest part of summers day. the mai esty of dawn? Again, when sunsets glow has fallen dead in the West the
 Chinaman pours forth to his diver sion. To stand for hours with waving fan on the curb of our city's thorough fares watching the procession of ve-
 hicular and pedestrian traffic brings him apparently the delight which a Londoner can obtain from a Lord
 Mayors show, daily repeated, while a volunteer parade brings him forth in plumbers proportionate 10 the metrop- olis's myriads called out by a royal pageant.
 Thus in dignified, contemplative manner does the Chinaman display his ! iidiosyncrasy of pleasure taking. Again, the native of younger blood, imbued with a tinge of foreign taste, rushes
 madly through the streets on the whirring wheel or drives, luxuriously
 reclining in his smartly appointed car
 riage, behind the fastest trotting pony, steered by reckless native jehu, which his means are able to procure.
 The visitor to the various public re-
 sorts of the Chinese in the settlements
 will invariably gain an interesting in sight into the Chinaman and his ! pleasure taking, and one striking fea- l ture cannot pass unnoticed. Whether coolie, merchant, office boy or man.
 darin in public, the Chinaman at play
 is invariably respectable, but decorum
 when in the public eye. and absolutely | moral behavior characterizes even the biggest rake among the sChinamen of our settlements. Drunkenness is vice
 which is usually kept within doors, as are all other reprehensibIe practices. ! Quarreling is almost an unkown
 thing in public resorts. Never does one witness anything approaching, the
 college student of Europe on the ram-
 page, or 'Arry and 'Arriet on bank 1 'oliday tear. The Chinaman takes his pleasure as he takes his business, with
 8 calm, calculating philosophy, which constitutes one of his greatest varia- tions from the habit of mind of the vivacious European.-- Shanghai Times. | t

monarchs. genial old King Dodo, who searches for the fountain of youth and unlike Ponce de Leon finds it, is again on his travels, and comes to the Hyper ion theater next Monday. If you want to know where he holds court just fol- low the crowd. With King Dodo, which although it was the second of Pixley and Luders works to be pro- duced was in reality their maiden att tempt at joint writing for the stage, there is that which pleases all classes. There is a reminiscence of the comic opera which the theatergoers of twenty years ago delighted in for in the second act of this melodious comedy opera there is a good old-fashioned Amazon march, not in spangles and parti-col- ored lights, but in pure white, in the strongest kind of white light. It is a glittering pageant, remarkably striking in it's simplicity. King Dodo' pleases all. As a production it is reported to be as elaborate as anything the stage has seen in the last decade. This sea- sons cast is the best 'Dodo" has ever had. Seats on sale Friday.

 .'DEALERS IN WHITE WOMEN
 The New Haven theater announces as Its attraction tomorrow, Friday and Saturday nights one of the most start ling and thrilling of sensational melo- dramas. This is A. H, Woods gorgeous production of the new four-act play, Dealers in White Women" founded on actual incidents discovered by the police in their long standing and relent- less battle against the horrible evils of the infamous cadet system" Among the novelties introduced are several new and unique character studies; the working of the much-discussed third degree" by the police authorities; 8 steel cage full of innocent and helpless young girls who have been abducted from their homes; a thrilling fight in an opium den and an underground chamber of mysteries in which an arch )crimina1 terrorizes his victims by prac- ticing before their eyes some of the oc- cult mysticisms of the far east. The climax shows the blowing up by dyna- mite of this veritable chamber of hor- TOTS and the rescue of the unwilling. occupants by the crew of one of the New York police boats. The company is an unusually strong one, the play demanding a special cast by reason of the many and different characteriza- tions. There will be matinee Satur- day Seats now on sale.
