I'm Current Literature.


A few weeks ago there died In Paris
at the age Of eighty-nine q woman who
will be remembered In the annals both
Of literature and Of music. Her name
was Pauline Viardot-Garcia She was

reason Of her associations. Her brother,
Manuel Garcia. who died in 1905, was a
singing teacher Of worldwide reputa-

leading opera houses Of Europe She

The Wars Of the longs.

Robert Wells Richie. In Harpers weekly.
Gambling was the genesis Of the first
fight between the tongs. and gambling
continues today, complicated as the orfgi-
nal issue has been by side feuds and un-
equal scores Of revenge. the proper cause
OF sudden death in Mott and Pell streets
None of these games is heavy: In fact.
there are few games In Chinatown that
are half as steep as the daily afternoon

bucked the tiger and wore diamonds;
professional gamblers and constitutional
toughs they were. Their day passed. how
ever. when the Hip Sings and On Leongs
fought each other to standstill to set
tie the control Of the gambling privi-
lese and the interests which were the
gage Of battle waned as result.
BY q strange freak OF circumstance the
first farming OF the gambling privilege In
New York was done by a once holy band
Of crusaders, the Chez kung Tong. A

rulers Of China, should come to this far
country and sow the seeds that were to
bear bullets in q quick harvest.
The war between the On Leongs and
the Hip Sings came to an end in a rare
opera -bouffe tableau which was enacted
in the chambers OF Judge Warren w.
Foster Of the supreme court. Judge Fos-
ter. who had sat in the criminal branch
over several of the cases arising from
the bloody struggle in Chinatown. per-
suaded the various white lawyers retain
ed by the fighting tongs TO herd the re-
spective head men of their client or
CARNATIONS before him one day and he
read them a lecture on the advantages
of peace and the stern vengefulness OF
American law once violated. Then with
due pomp and solemnity the Judge pro-
duced elaborate articles of peace. duly
engrossed and sealed, and ordered the
Observation-Disclosures of the On Leongs and
HID Sings 10 sign them. Very gravely
the names were afiixed: those Of Tom
Lee and Jim Gum, his lieutenant: Mock
Duck. Wong Git and Wong Sam, the
wicked secessionists. A very formal joint
BANQUET Of the tongs In honor OF Judge
Foster and the members OF the district
attorneys stan followed and clinched the
peace proceedings. Since that time,
though assassinations have occasionally
disturbed tho peace OF Chinatown. at
each Chinese New Year celebration Judge
Foster and representatives OF the district
attorney have been invited to listen, over
the planked dried duck and the rice wine
ON q festal board. to solemn assurances
OF the permanency OF that peace.
