DES MoINES , March 17-Speclal.-One ( )
wintry day twelve years ago a young fellow
stopping at a farm house In Cass count ,
Iowa , sow a crowd congregating itt a connlry
school house near by , and went to see what
was going on. He found , a lawsuit In progress -
gress bctween parties from adjoining town-
Rhlps Ills honor Squire gdwards' impressed
the young fellow into service as a constable ,
anti the cause 11roceedell. The controversy
was In regard tl the ownership of a piece of
bUd , the plaintiff claiming that he hall leased
the same to the defendamit while the latter
claim ell that hc hall bought the land of laln-
till . The plaimithit's aUorney was a well
known lawyer from Atlantic , a large , well
proportioned , line looking man , wIlls a Web-
slerlau voice anti Imllelal manner. The opposing -
posing counsel was nn unknown fedgeHng
from the village of Mt. Etna , Adams county.
lie was spare and lhln , and I cannot be
mlt that he was Imposing In appearance
Ills able conduct or the case was a surprise ,
however. About midnight the case was given
to the jury. 1 did not retire In this instance ,
but every one else 111 , and the jury was
loclted In the school house , anti agreed . on a
verdict for the ihaintiff.
The lawyer from Atlantic was A. S. Church-
ill , present attorney genernl of the state of
Nebraska , The spare man from Mt. Etna
was Horato P. Dale , now a prom-
Inent Des Moines attorney . member of the
state code commissIon and democratc can-
Ilhlate for secretary of state at the last elec-
than. And the constable was J. F. Lewis of
ton. HI\erton , la. . one of the most bubstanlal
citizens of that place and widely known
throughout the state for his many good antI
useful traIts of character.
Judg E. II. Sties , now of Kansas City ,
tells these good stories of the old lghts In
the legal profession In the state of Iowa :
"A Partner of JUdge Cahlwel , and with
whom h , studIed law , was Judge Knapp , one
of Iowa's greatest law'ers. Ie was very
absent mninded One day he thought he woud :
trim an apple tree In his orchard : ho as-
c nlel the tree , seated hiirns1f on a lImit and
sawed it oil between hIm and the bo.y or the
I of .
tree , which of course resulted In surprising
him with 1 severe fall.
"At another time he and Caldwell had de-
feded some criminals who gave them for
their fee counterfeit bis , Their character
being dlsco\cret , they were lid In the sfe
Judge Knapp baing called to an adjoinIng
county , opened the safe and placed In his
pocket the counterfeit rol On his return
Cahlwel asked him how he managed 10 pay '
expenses whereupon Knapp said that he hal
taken enough out of the safe for that purpose -
pose anti , \ had a little change left ! That was
thc first Inlmaton that he hat been passing
counterfeit .
money. I
"Judgo McFJrland , whose sun was about
setting when 1 went 10 Iowa , had been most
eccentric. I heard Judge Knapp relate this
incident : He hal a case before Judge Mc-
Parland : some man had made a contract to
support his father , receiving from the later
a deed to his farm as a consideration : the
father flied a bill to set aside the contract
on the ground of ill treatment. Knapp was
for the defendant : the case cemmenced. Mc-
arland was just emerging from I drunken
eclipse , but seemed to listen intently to the
evllence , In that DC one witness 't appeared
that upon a certain occasion the defendant
had struck his father , whereupon McFarlanl
straightened up , and , pointing his linger to-
ward the defendant , saId : 'You strike your
father ; you strIke your father ! I will lear
you not to strike your fatherl' Which Incident -
cident , of course , brought the case to an un-
timely end.
Judge Caleb Baldwin was a man weighing
hetween 300 and 400 pounds I Is said that
he went to Chlcgo The person he desired
to see was on the seventh story There was
no way for him to nuke the flight but to go
up the staIrway. On arriving at the' se\'enth
floor he fount himself pulling like a porpoise -
poise He rapped at the door : a boy made
his appearance. Dahlwln , In exhausted and
long-drawn tones. Inquired : 'Is Gel In ? '
"Jullge Clagel was a profane man. His
wife was a devout Presbyterian She pre-
valel upon her clergyman to IntervIew her
husband : , with a view of reforming him
Cagget listened rcspectfuly : When he had
concluded he said : 'Oh , vehl . my swearing Is
a good deal like your preaching. We don't
either oC us mean anything ! "

Dy the federal census of 1870. 63,000 China.
men were returned lS then residing In the
United States , of whomn7OOO lived , In the
Western territories. . /11860 the number of
Chinamen wa 35OO , 111 toro thnt no separate -
rate figures regarding .llm were kepi. The
building of the Central . Pacifc railroad : , says
the New Ycrk Stili . led to the Importnton of
Chinese coole labor for work upon I at n
time when the rate of [ wages was abnormaly
high on the Pacific coast. By the censu
oC IS80 the nuintier . of . Chimitimen ! In the
Unied Slates was 105,000. ly time census or
1890-the chef Iglnton against Chinese Im-
migration was between 1880 1\1 IS90-the
migraton
number of Chinese residents was 10G.GSS.
Hostile agitatIon did not slop thE ImmigratIon -
agiaton
hems of Chiinse . but It arre3tel Its incre.sse.
Of the 10GGSS Chinamen returned by the
o census 71,000 lived In California . Oregon
hat 9,500 , , Washington 3,300 , Nevada 2.800 ,
and Montana 2.500. Of the states east of the ,
Mississippi , New York care first with 3.100 ,
Penns1\3nla second with 1,200. and Ias-
saohusts third wiLls 1,100 , though I was to
Massachusetts that the frt Chinee hnml-
grants who came cast were taken under contract -
tract as 8110emallers.
The year 1890 witnessed . probably the
hlgh-waler mark of the ChinesE 110Ilaton In
lhe United States for In November , 18\ , the
rctjHraton law providing for the deporta-
ton oC unregistered Chinamen followed the
adopton of the original law of May , 1892 ,
cn the subject anti renforccd It. Under the
novlslons or this law for registration there
arc ; now fewer Chinamen -In the United
States that there were five years ago. Im-
migrton Irons China , except surreptitIously
over the Canada bonier , has practically
ceased , and as the Chlm'e population doe
not susla'n Itself with n births rte approx-
Imatng the dalh rate , the cutting oft or Im-
mIgraton meals the ulhnate dying out of
tht Chinese colony In the Un ted Slates.
Since the adulJton of [ the I'ederal statues
for registration . 10G.81 applications for cer-
tfcates have been made. The total of such
applications Is almost identIcal with the number -
her of Chinamen returned by the fellerl
census of 1890 , but there Is an excess duo to
the fact that duplicate certificates seem to
have been IssuO\ \ In many cases. In New
York state , for Instance , 6,200 certIficates
have been granted , though , by the celsus
taken , there were only 3,100 resldelt China-
115dm ] . In Massimchusetts . 2,100 certIficates
have been granted to a Chinese lJOpulaton
of 1.100 , while In California only 6SOO certn-
cates ha\o been granted to a Chilese pOI1la-
tlon In excess of 71,000. In part , this difference - i
ence Is explained by the fact that since the
passage of the law of . 1S92 , many Ciminatnems
being more fearful of deportation \ from the
Pacific states than here , have come cast.
The mining business of thc western states ,
too , has been languishing since 1S93. To that
cause also Is atrlbutnble time coming cast-
warl or Rome ChInamen. 1 Is a fact that
slnco the adopton of the registratIon law
of IS92 Chinamen are no longer treated with
the old nntpalhy In New York , but rather
with some approach to good nature They
are known as "Chlnlts' ! and the chief mani-
festaton oC unpolnUafly from which they
sufer Is the breattg "oC laundry wIndows

SHE HAD A1 LOVELY TIME.

The Iccreaton of'i Sthtlt Laity "Ith 1\'lo\
of I.ttimutage.
When the stout ladY entertli the Eevated
at l'ourteenth street . iue sat 10wn on the
left hand seat fa lng - the engine , says the
New York Sun Tjmerm1wero ; little touches of
finery Ibou' her ! . whose presence was
explaIned when sqe caught sight oC an acquaintance -
quaintance : on the lhe side of the car , and
Imlellately plunggll across the aisle and ' sat
-
down beside her
"I've just be n Ul wsIl'ngon Lucy Pover . "
she began at once.-il'She used to lIve over
near us . you know' sand I promised that as
soon as she ot back frain her tower Id run
across and see her , ant this mornIng Irs ,
Ebler told ma she'd seen her on Broadway
over here ant so I just ragged out and came
over rIght away. "
She hal a large , limp mouth , and when she
spoke her lps moved futerlngly like the
leaves of a poplar tree In a breeze Punctu-
alon was a useless arrangement of the
grammarian , so far as she was concerned ,
whIle her Idea DC conversation evIdently was
that It was a form of social entertainment In
which one person did all the taltng ,
"I was surprised to find , " she ran on , "how
cozIly Lucy Is fixed she has a real sweet
little fat with real nice furlure anti iota
oC dainty things scattered about you know
anti though It wasn't her calling lay there
were quite a number of very nice people too I
looking at the things she hal picked up In
their tower curiosiles ! and such things you
know and I got a real nice cup of chocolate
though I can't say I like chocolate In the
afternoon I prefer tea don't you I do. "
When she did stop It was for absolute want
oC breath , her method of relnfaton being to
draw In a long deep draught of breath
through the open mouth. Being once more
charged she ' dashed In again
"I toh William Id cal , In for him when I
left LUcy's as lie wants me to hook : at some
underclothing with hIm and he never so
much as buys a pall of socks now without
first consulting me which Is I very compl-
mentary you know thought somewhat tryIng

lear Im so glad 10 have seen you come over
right soon now won't you Ive bad su h a

Alli wIth this she drove her way Into the
string of Incoming passengers , leaving her
friend with a feeble , Imploring ) hook In ber
eves her mouth party open. as thouh gasp-
ing l for breath , and her hands feebly clulch-
Ing suffocation. at the all like one faintly fighting against

lushln Legislations.
In the midst of the hurry and rush of the
closing hourl of the le8lon , says the Walh-
Ins ton I'ost a story which was tohl yesterday -
day of the I'ennbylvanla legislature seems
approprlale.
The session of the legislature was about to
expire ; In accordance wIth the usual custom
.
I
the chair was occupIed by I rapid wor1er ,
who , 'a 11ea to objections and blind 10
objectors. Ills name was Alex Mcelure.
Urller his able suanagomeist the blue were
going throngh at 1 lightning express rate ,
when one meRsurc was reached that was
parlcularly obnoxious 10 1 noisy minority ,
Utterly oblivious to the 11emonsralon Mr
McClure declared that the bill ball passed.
Over In one corer of the legislatIve
cbamber one member was especially vocifer-
ous. lIe WOull not be quieted and Mr McClure -
Clure was finally compeled to notice him
for the sake of peRce.
" } what purpose docs the gentemnn
rise ? " asked the chair
"I want to offer nn amendmcnt to the bill , "
was the reply.
"Too late , " said Mr. McClure without a
smile : "offer I to the next bull The clerk
will read. "
AntI the merry grind went on.

"Uoes ) 'OUI smart set . as you cal I. con-

"No " replied the mnatrots as the various
members flitted before her mental vision ,
"Somo arc and some arc-ms't. "
"Then what constitutes a qualification , anti
how can a stranger tel I he Is In tIme right

It Is not fatmsily. "
"I should not say I was money , elthcr , "
returned time lady "although , oC course , one

ference lucidly. , " site concluded , triumphantly , If not
The "Trihby" craze has manifested itself
In so many various ways that It seEms almost
as though I must have exhausled Itself be-
fore now , hut , on the contrary , It bobs up
serenely In the most unexpected quarters
The very latest manIfestaton Is the "Trilby"
shioe and a very sensible shoe It Is , too. Of
course It hasn't a pointed toe Dear no !
Trilby's foot would never have aroused the
enthusiasm oC the artists If she had cramped
It In anD of the exaggeratedly pointed shoes
now In fashion So , the shoe named after

that much discussed heroine Is square toad .
But It Is a square tot that Is a tlelghUnl
compromise between the absurd point-which
looks more like a place In which to repose
the bjg toe rather than the whole famiy of
toes-and the ugly wIde to oC the "com-
mon senso" lasl. "So few would have
pretty feet , " sighed a Boston sculptor , and
his wlfo says that he Is always complaining
that a pretty nule foot even among professional -
sional models , Is almost unl < own.
The two following cases would be difficult to
surpass One was In England , the other
In Australia . Some time ago a marriage
took place In BIrmingham , which brought
about a very complIcated state of famIly re-
lotIons. The woman had been marrIed three !
times before and each lme hal taken for
her husband a widower with chidren ,
Her fourth husbaml was I widower , and ,
as ho had three chlJrcn by his first wife ,
who was herself a widow with chidren when
he marrIed hcr , the newly married couple
started theIr matrimonial companIonship with
a family composed or the progeny of eight
Drovlou marrla es. '

Another curious case was thai of Dr. King
oC Atiehaide a wIdower , who married a Miss
Norris Shorty after the doctor's honey-
moon thc doctor's son marrIed a sister . of the
doclor's wife. Then a brother of time doc-
tor's wlo married thus doctor's dauthler , In
other words , the doctor's son became his
stepmothcr's brotler-in.law alll the doctor's
( laughter became her stepmother's sister-itt-
law The dolor by the marriage of his
son to the sIster of the doetor'a wife became
father-In-law to his sister-In-law , and the
doctor's wife , by the marrlago of her sister
to her stepson , became stEpmolher-ln-law to

Feminine Influence hal been very much In
evidence In connecton with the recent presl-
deltal crisIs In France M. Caslmlr-Perler ,
who startled the , world so effectually by his
abandonment of his high but thankless post
as time head of the republic , I saId to 'have at-
tachll more weight to the advice of his
mother than to that of any of the olclal
counselors by whom he was surrou/IC. J
watt her Influence lhut persuaded him to ac-
cept the presidency sorely against his will ,
after the assassination of M. Caret , anti site
is said to have been cotivinceti

quickly of the restraint and formality of the

time constant threats adtresbed to her bus-
