The supper table was decked with flowers and sugar fancy pieces of pagodas, etc. Mrs. Yang, like the thoughful hostess she it, never stirred from her post in her front drawing room, where the interpreters of the lega- tion presented each new arrival to her. Minister Yang, late in the evening, strolled through the rooms, after the fashion of the American host, and even if he could not converse with his guests, showed by his at- tentive courtesies his desire that they enjoy themselves. His interest was thoroughly shared by all the gentlemen of the lega- ticn, who were most assiduous in their po- lite attentions to the company. Mrs. Yang wore one of her most elegant ecstumes, and her right hand, which was ungloved, sparkled with pretty diamonds and jade rings. Her smile was as at- tractive for the last guest saying good- night as it was for the welcome of the first one. Many of the ladies who had been cemplimented by the presentation of silk at Christmas from Minister Yang had it made up and wore their Chinese gowns to the ball, much to their host's delight. Some other elegant gowns were worn also, but the crowd was rather too large to per- mit them to show to any advantage. Mrs. John W.

Saget WANTED IN MAINE. daughter of Identity of a Man Held Here Has Been Revealed. Several weeks ago, soon after the Aquia creek train robbery, a man, who beat his way here on a Baltimore and Ohio ex- press train, was arrested and sent to the wo:shouse as a suspicious person. He was arrested by John Green, the colored detective in the railroad company’s em- ploy. Green met the incoming train at Hyattsville, and rode in on the end plat- form of the baggage car with the man, pretending that he, too, was a tramp. When the depot was reached about mid- night and the man arrested, he gave his name as John Smith, and a !oaded revolv was found on him. Judge Miller heard the man’s case, and managed to get from him the statement that he was from Maine. The prisoner's conduct aroused the judge's suspicion, and a letter sent to Maine brought the response that no such person as John Smith had rented a post office box where Smith, as he called himself, said he rented one. It happened that a Maine newspaper printed a story of the man’s arrest, as detailed in The Star at the time, and De- tective Odlin of Lewiston, Me., thought the man must certainly be Leon Hutchins, who was wanted in Auburn for burgla fter communicating with the auchoriies here the Maine detective came on and identified the prisoner as Hutch The prisoner is only about twenty. y old, but has served time in the Maine penitentiary. When but eighteen years old he was tenced for burglary, and after serving this four years’ sentence he was arrested for two other burglaries and was acquitted on a technicality. His last offense, it is al- leged, was breaking into Bates College at Auburn and stealing a telescope, worth about $600, With this telescope he traveled about the state and then left for the south. Detective Odlin started for Maine with the prisoner this afternoon. a THE COURTS, Equity Court No. Fairchild agt. Mer le to show cause returnable January 31. Matthews agt.

Love of Watkins, N. Y., charged with embezzlement, has been acquitted. IN HOTEL? CORRI |DORS —1 “Tho railroad companies in the south are all making great arrangements for the reg- ular crusades that will attract immigration along their lines,” said William S. Bowen of Atlanta, at the Betgopolitan yesterday, “and a number of nérthérn as well as south- ern capitalists have also purchased large tracts of land, which itis their purpose to divide into small farms*and place upon the market. A new departure has been by many of these individual companies, which I am inclined to think the railroad corporations will also be compelled to adopt or get lost in the competition. The sys- tem I speak of includes the preparation of a number of acres, say from 20 to 73 or 106, so as to be ready for putting in a crop. The trees are all cut down, the stumps pulled or blown up and the land cleared and properly fenced off into desirable an convenient fielc A dwelling house, stables and all the outbuildings are er ed and then the complete farm is oftered for sale to immigrants at reasonable rates s of payment. Of course, paration costs a lot of money, but the promoters and backers of the cempanies which offer such inducements feel that they will attract a better class of immigrants than those who merely buy a lump of unimproved land and proceed to spend their own and their children’s life- time on it making a farm of it. ‘The criminal who flies from the United States and wants to secure everlasting im- munity from pursuit ard capture should go to San Salvador,” said Andrew Boulle- met of Mobile at La Normandie last night “I have just returned the to a Star reporter. from a trip to the little republic, and feeling against the United States bec of its refusal to send ex-President I back after he had got away from the authorities and reached this country on the cruiser Bennington is violent. Several of- ficials of the present Salvadorean govern- ment told me that it had been sufficiently proved to tho United States government that General Ezeta was not wanted so much as a political agitator as he was for being a common criminal, but that this country ignored all such representa- tions and gave the fugitive his liberty. ‘They said further that while the present extradition treaty existing between San Salvador and the United States might re- main on the statute books, it would re- main a dead letter so far as they were concerned, for their courts would never enforce its provisions, no matter how bad- ly our authorities might want somebody who had, for reasons, transferred his resi- dence to the far soutbern republic.” “It would net be surprising if all the in- habitants of every civilized country twenty years hence woul be inoculated against consumption jn infancy, just as they are vaccinated nowadays to assure them im- munity from smallpox contagion,” said Dr. Henry O'Neill of New York at the Shore- ham yesterday imorning. “The investiga- tions and experiments of the board of health of New York, which have been ex- tended over a period of six years, have re- sulted in such a way as to cause that body to authoritatively announce that consump- tion is contagious and preventable, and It has decided to secure an out-of-town hos- pital for the treatment of new cases, in- stead of sending them to special wards in city or nearby suburban institutions, It is also the intention, Iam informed, to segre- ‘ate hopeless consumptives in the near fu- e sd they may be kept comfortably and pr pvenited from endangering the rest of the community. Some-species of inocula- tion is sure to ccma however. Koch's lymph has been foun exceedingly ett cious in keeping catue free from the con- tagion of tuberculous cows, and I am con- vinoed something equally as good will soon be discovered for use among human ani- mals on a scale of magnitude that will permit its blessings to be shared in by every one.” Northern and westgrn farmers who complain that thelr land is worked out and werthless for the purpose of raising crops should take a trip to Key Largo, the big nd lying off the i nd see how the ‘incinnatus act down th C. Apleigh, a New York fruit buy the Ri; this morning. ‘Th of Key simply a cencrete formed of coral and sea shells. It contains, I im- agine, a great deal of phosphate, because there is no other way of accounting for the vegetation. A farm. down there is pro- cured by cutting down the growth of cab- bage palms and other tropical trees and planting seed in the waste of dead leaves and rotten branches that has accumulated beneath them through many years. Fine vegetables are raised in this soil, but it is soon exhausted, and {t is a common sight to see little hills containing growing plants running on either side of furrows of solid rock. When the last vestige of the top dressing is gone the Key Largo farmer is rot outdone. He simply scrapes away a hole among the broken rocks, sticks a ba- nana tree in it, and waits for the harvest that time is sure to bring. It’s a queer ag- ricultural community down there, and a plow would be a seven days’ wonder to its inhabitants.” “Tt always makes me mad when I read an account of a railroad collision and see it attributed to the carelessness of the engin- | eer,” said F. P. Burke, an old throttle man | of the Erie railroad, at the- National yester- day. ‘You can always bet that in 00 cases out of a thousand the accident 1s due to somebody else's carelessness. There is just about that proportion of engineers who are careless, in my opinion. I know that somo people are great believers in the old saying that familiarity breeds contempt, but it don’t hold good in the case of a man who runs an engine. He's right up there at the front; hemmed in on all sides and sure to be the first to be crushed if anything gets in the way, or a switch is misplaced. He his, maybe, a wife and little ones at home, and, anyhow, he knows he is responsible for lots of people behind him, who have wives and babies, too. No, sir, don’t you believe all you read about careless engin- eers. It's always easy to shove blame off on a dead man—and that's what we gen- erally are when an accident occurs. “Some of the encyclopaedia makers will have to get their snake editors to change their ologics about the manner in which serpents bring forth their young,” sagely remarked Phil. Rafferty of Chicago at the Shoreham Thursday night. “Most of us edu- cated people have hugged the fond delusion to cur bosoms that snakes lay eggs, and I remember how eagerly I used to dig into supposed snake holes when I was a youngster in ambitious searches to find a nest of garter eggs. Well, there ain't any such thing. A rattlesnake out in the Lin- colin Park Zoo proved this beyond ques- tion a couple of weeks ago by besoming the mother of a whole lot of baby snakes without going through the senseless end unnecessary performance of laying eggs and stowing them away in a warm place to hatch out. 1 have heard that terrapins do the egg act, but most of the alleged results of this custom which I have found in your famous stew appear to have had something to do with a hen.” “J always feel sorry for the good-natur- ed, easy-going, good-hearted fellow, with confidence in the whole wor!d, who is plac- ed in a positicn of trust where he is obliged to handle other people's money, George Blodgett, a Minneapolis lawyer the Arlington y “He may be as ver out y others and secure his mode a victim b who get in desperate strait assistance to tide them ov and then fail to make the favor good. Taylor, the de- faulting state treasurer of South Dakota, is an instance of this sort. During the panic last year the bank at Gettysburg be- came pinched for funds, and its oilicers came to Taylor for help. He saw other bankers in the state, and they all said that the failure of the Gettysburg bank would cause every other financial institution in the state to topple and bring ruin on the people. So Taylor loaned the bank $40.000 of the state’s money. This was not enough and the condition of the bank grew worse. To save the money already loaned, Taylor kept on putting up state meney for it until $100,000 was reached. Times grew worse and Taylor was unable to realize on elther the securities given him by the bank or his cwn property, and then he fled, a criminal in the eyes of the law and disgraced for- ever. He was a good-ratured, warm-heart- ed fellow. I tell you it is a pitiful position for such a man to be placed in—to have the handling of thousands of dullars and see so many opportunities for nelping others when there seems to be no earthly chance of risking a loss.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch, In the north Atlantic states just at elec- tion time this year a bad Ice storm set in, with the result that at a critical moment no returns were obtainable by telegraph irom large and important sections of New England. The damage was remarkably severe and extensive. For example, in a single stretch of country between New York and Boston no fewer than 8,000 poles were borne down by the winds and the weight of ice and snow. There has been much angry discussion about this, but the truth is that the poles instead of being rotten are in reality over- loaded with wires, and hence become the victims of every unusual climatic disturb- ance in winter. In view of the fucilities for burying wires along railroad tracks and of the large sums of money spent annually in wire repairs, it is extraordinary that the bulk tala the wires do not find their way into trenche Indeed, one of the best experts in the country expresses his growing conviction that in the long run it would be cheaper to put all the wires thus underground between New York and Boston. If this is true of those two cities, it is equally true and im- portant in regard to others, not forgetting the national capital. One of the first move- ents with the revival of business will, it is said, be the wholesale burial of wires which run across country and now go down almost every year, hindering and paralyz- ing business by the stoppage of the means of immediate communication. ns Rapid Speed Photographs. From the St. Louis Republic. Prof. C. V. Boys says that to take pho- tographs of a bullet as it Is being projected through the air at a maximum possible speed it is necessary to have recourse to a method of illumination infinitely more rapid than that given by an electric spark. For this purpose a steel mirror, so mounted as to revolve at the enormous speed of 1,000 times per second, is used. This mirror is not larger than a silver 25-cent piece, and the beams of light given off from it pass across the screen at such an unthinkaole rate of speed that it enables the photo- to take pictures of the bullet on of only one-millionth of a second. grapher exposure:
