INTOXICATED CHINAMAN.
Philadelphia Had One Who Would
Not Give His Name.

PHILADELPHIA, January 1.-THE spec
tacle of drunken Chinaman is rare, but to
see one fighting drunk trying to clean out
a saloon is still more of rarity.
Hugh Dunkin, who holds forth behind
the bar in Burkes saloon, Market street,
above 18th, was busy attending to his Gus
toners wants yesterday morning. He was
! surprised, much so, to glance up and let
his gaze fall on a Chinaman who visbly
showed the "worse-for-wear appearance.
Me wantee dinkee." said the Chinaman,
placing a small bundle, which he was
carrying under his arm, on the bar.
You are drunk now, and / cannot sell
you anything" replied Dunkin.
Me not velly dunk; me walkee allie
rightee." exclaimed the Chnaman, who at
the same time assumed puglistic pose
to avoid trouble, however, came to the
front of the bar and tried to persuade the
Chinaman to leave the place. This he re-
fused to do. and according to the bar
tender, attempted to strike him.
Dunkin. threatening to call an officer
walked toward the door. This seemed to
rile the celestial all the more. Before any
one could prevent him, he pulled a slipper
from his foot and hurled it through the
large plate mirror behind the bar
An officer who was summoned arrested
the Chinaman, and he was taken to the
stationhouse at 18th and Vine streets Here
he refused to give his name address,
NO nance, no homee," was all he would
say and he was led back to cell to sleep
off his exuberation.

ever, that SO far there is no disposition or

Neither the broad and charitable
craftsmanship which enlightening

the Christening effect OF defeat and

are justified in wondering whether
the promising party outlook is to be
clouded by a personal rivalry, petty
enough to do credit to town meeting,

no principles.
Some OF the ignoble results OF this
quarrel between the candidates may
be seen in the recent exposure of
Mr. Bryan's undignifled method Of
