CHINESE MUSIC IN COURT.
:- *y’ . ' Am Attempt to Decide Whetker It Hath
;* Charm* or llathn’t.
. ^ 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
| . anta, says the Pacific Commercial Ad
vertiser. The grounds on which the in
junction V22 s?Ved were that all Chin
ese performances necessarily Include
an Instrumental performance, and that
the orchestra—if the theater were erect
J.y 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 the
old theater, Mr. Thurston, who had
summoned into court the entire Chin
ese band, with their instruments, of
fered a "performance” in evidence. He
; f proved by one of the actors that the
music was an integral part of all
Chineso 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 the
case went up on appeal how could the
music be preserved so that the supreme
court could hear It. Mr. Thurston re
plied that it could be preserved in the
phonograph, If there was one, and be
p. sides, he claimed that the music was
not for the supreme court, but for Judge
Cooper to hear, in order to settle the
Ir'C Question of fact. After due considera
tion Judge Cooper admitted the per
y 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
wea ana screamed ana oeuowea ana i
thundered around the room and tried to
burst the windows. The full bench of j
the supreme court, sitting In another
room, promptly adjourned and huraied
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. Marsden, 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
ijs remedy tor the Japanese beetle. The
portraits of the eminent Jwetttial, mew
departed, which adorn the walla of the
* court-room, ware disturbed, and pre
seated tbs ghastly apeotade e* lifting
up their hand® and doetng thdlr ears.
After five minutes the court ordered
the noise to abate and the trial pro*
ceeded. ...
' Whtot Three Empires Meet.
There la In the southeastern part ot

where the frontiers of Germany, Rus

'f' heartily welcomed by a large number
