^CHINESE MUSIC IN COURT.
Am Atteoipt to Dccldo Whether It Hath
Charms or Hathn'U
The case brought by J. C. Clunle and
Others asking for an Injunction forbid*
ding the erection of the new Chinese
theater came on yesterday before Judge
Cooper, L. A. Thurston for the plain
tiffs, and A. S. Hartwell for the defend
ants, says the Pacific Commercial Ad
vertiser. The grounds on which the in
junction was asked were that all Chin
ese performances necessarily Include
an instrumental performance, and that
the orchestra—If the theater were erect
ed—would give such dismal, hideous
and unearthly music that it would con
stitute a nuisance and make life in the
neighborhood not worth living. After
taking the evidence of J. L. Kaulukou,
who testified to the horrid music of tho
old theater, Mr. Thurston, who hRd
summoned into court the entire Chin
ese band, with their Instruments, of
fered a “performance" in evidence. He
proved by one of the actors that the
music wag an Integral part of all
Chinese plays, and claimed that the
court could fully appreciate the charac
ter of the music only by hearing it Mr.
Hartwell opposed its introduction as
being contrary to the rules of evidence
and utterly Irregular. He asked if thcl
case went up on appeal how could the
music be preserved so that the supreme
eourt could hear it. Mr. Thurston re
plied that it could be preserved in the
phonograph, if there was one, and be
sides, he claimed that the music was
not for the supreme court, but for Judge
Cooper to hear, in order to settle the
question of fact. After due considera
tion Judge Cooper admitted the per
formance in evidence. The instru
ments were tuned, and, at the word of
command, the five gongs, two cymbals,
big bass drum and several other effec
tive, but Indescribable Instruments,
went off. Such music had never before
been heard in the court-room. It rat
* tied and screamed and bellowed and
thundered around the room and tried to
burst the windows. The full bench of
the supreme court, sitting in another
room, promptly adjourned and hurried
In. The meeting of the board of health
In the room below came to a dead stand
still, and the audience, including the
.cabinet, rushed out in bewilderment.
Mr. ifarsden. In the agricultural depart
ment below, became wild, it is said,
and tried to get out of the window; but
immediately recovered himself and ex
claimed that he had now found a new
remedy for the Japanese beetle. The
portraits of the eminent Justices, now
departed, which adorn the walls of the
court-room, were disturbed, and pre
sented the ghastly spectacle of lifting
up their hands and closing their ears.
After five minutes the court ordered
the noise to abate and the trial pro
seeded.
Where nm Essplves KHt
Thera is In the southeastern part oi
the Prussian province, Silesia, a spot
where the frontiers of Germany, Rub*
sin and Austria meet. This point,
• which is called "The Three Emperors'
< Corner," is in the heart of a great coal
and Iron region. Count Schuwalow,
the new governor-general of Poland, re
cently made a trip of inspection througb
the iron and industrial districts of Rus
sian-Poland, and upon this occasion
made a visit to this historical spot,
- where once the three emperors of Rus
sia, Germany and Austria met and
If C spoke to each other, while each stood
In his own country. The party was
heartily welcomed by a large number
of German mine workers, who hap
pened to see the cavalcade and the ar
ray of carriages on the other side. Aft
er a short stay the governor continued
upon his trip, but not before having
called over to a German engineer who
had taken a snap shot of the brilliant
company across the brook, to send him
a copy of a picture made in Germany,
taking in a Russian governor and his
staff, with an Austrian landscape as the
background.
