Dew, | resident of Staunton, Va. Dew had | been in this country about 18 years, \had accumulated considerable prop- ‘erty in the Virginia town and was ‘well regarded by the citizens there. Some time ago he took out naturale '|ization papers and supposed himself |, a citizen of the United States. He decided later to visit his home /in China, and made application to the |, state department for @ passport, _| which was sent him, the officials not || recognizing his nationality by his With the passport in his pos- |session Dew sailed away, and in | course of time returned by way of 'Canada. At Montreal he was in- | formed by the United States Chinese | inspectors that he could not enter the | United States, as he had not complied with the law by taking with him an official certificate showing that he was entitled to return. | Dew’s wife and children are still at | Staunton, and while his admission in- to the United States would be a tech- nical violation of law, Assistant Secre- tary Taylor has ordered the United States inspectors in Canada to per- mit him to return to his home. His case will be passed upon by the ofil- cials here. The cases of nine other Chinamen of Jacksonville, Fla. have been brought to the attention of the. de- partment. They had been residents of Jacksonville nine years and had accumulated consideraine property in the laundry business. Some days ago a United States marshal arrested them | | on the ground that they were illegal-/ ly in this country. The Chinamen! said their certificates had been lost, | ' and as they could not produce them} they were thrown in jail. Many cit- izens of Jacksonville have protested | against the action of the marshal. | The department has had a number of cases recently of Chinese being ar-. rested without sufficient cause, and in some cases it is thought the arrests | were made to enable the arresting of-| | ficer to get a free ride to San Fran-) cisco and return in ease they were or-! dered deported. These suspected cases will be very carefully looked in- to hereafter by the Washington au- thorities. Is FOUND FAULTLESS. Consul at Frankfort Writes That Ger- man Analysis of American Lard Proves It an Excellent Article. “The agrarians and some butchers of Germany are trying to create a popular prejudice against the con- sumption of American meats and par-! ticularly of American lard,” writes Consul General Guenther from Frank- fort. “The report of the board of chemical examiners 01 the city of Ulm (charged with the examination of adi- pose substances or fettwaaren) is of interest in this connection. The re- port covers the examinations of the last two years, and after stating that the customs authorities are required | to take samples of all large shipments | of foreign butter, cheese, margarine, | and hog’s lard, and have them exam- i | | ined, it says: ‘Samples of American | lard are often received, taken. from shipments amounting to several hun- | dreds of pounds. A thorough chem- ical examination shows that Ameri- can lard is not only the same as Ger- man lard in regard to smell, taste and consistency but that it frequently ex- | eels in dazzling white color.

Latest Photograph of Prince Brings Anguish to Scciety Men. ~ | Ardent Followers of Engiznd’s Male Fashion Plate Learn That He Has Abandoned Trousers with a Crease, The fact that the prince of Wales does not crease his trousers, and that -he has not done so for months, per- | haps years, will be an awful shock to fashionable New York. The startling news York the other day. It did not come over the cable nor by word of mouth, It came in a more reliable form—in that of a photograph of the prince, showing that his trousers are abso- lutely creaseless. It is not accidental, either. | tion of the photograph shows that | the trousers never were creased. The whole thing is deliberate. The prince has stopped sending his trousers to be pressed. And he didn’t tell New York society anything about it. Men who have been going about New York for the past few months with trousers bag- ging at the knees and have been sneered at for their pains by the “swell dressers” are now fully vindi- cated. There will be a scurrying by “swell dressers” to take the crease from their “pants.” This, a tailor says, can be done easily by soaking the gar- ments for half an hour in the wash- tub and then hanging them on the line to dry. £ When they are dry they will look like those the prince wears in the picture. While the prince has gone back to unironed trousers, President McKin- ley hasn't. The “first gentleman of America” has his pressed every morning by his private secretary ‘or some one else be- fore he puts them on. The crease is a most emphatic one. It is made with a very heavy flatiron wielded by a man with a large biceps, who must work for many minutes de- veloping the crease. It now devolves upon New York dudedom to say which leader it will follow—the prince or the president. MEDAL FOR PROFESSOR STARR Queen WiJhelmina of Holland Honors Savant of the Chiengo : University. Prof. Frederick Starr, head profes- sor of anthropology at the University of Chicago, has the distinction of re ceiving the silver medal awarded by the Netherlands government. Prof. Starr has been liberal in his dona- tions to the national scientific and artistie collections of Holland, among his gifts being his own set of valu- able works on the Indian tribes of Mexico. The medal was received from . R. Planten, cf New York, consul general of the Netherlands, who for- warded it in behalf of Queen Wilhel- mina. The medal is heavy and is beauti- fully engraved. On the obverse side are the words: “For distinguished services, to Prof. Frederick Starr.” The reverse shows the head of Queen Wilhelmina. The medal is suspended from a ribbon of siik. Prof. Starr has been the recipient of many ¢ongratulations from his col- leagues of the faculty. WILL HUNT FOR TEE POLE. William I, Brewer of Yale Will Ac- company the Baldwin Expedition. William H: Brewer, chief of the de- partment of agriculture at Yale col- lege, will accompany Evelyn P. Bald- win, of New York, in his search for the north pole. Prof. Brewer will be first assistant to Mr. Baldwin. Wil- liam Zeigler, the wealthy Brooklyn merchant, will pay the expenses of the exploration. Mr. Baldwin came to New Haven the other day to confer with Prof, Brewer relative to the expedition. Prof. Brewer has had experience in ex- ploration, having had charge of the researches made in Alaska a year ago by E. H. Harriman. Prof. Brewer said, in speaking of the proposed trip, that the idea of professors of leading American univer- sities trying to reach the north pole in | an expedition is a unique one and he | is confident it will succeed. © As She Is Spoke in China.
