A Washington dispatch contains the in
formation that Mr. Chin Tom Ye , the Korean
minister , and a personage , has discarded bis
picturesque native dross and fly-trap hat of
liorso hair aud , except on ceremonial occa
sion , appears In "store clothes , " Mr. Yo's
pans have long since adopted the American
Barb , but the father's action only dates
from the removal of his diplomatic duties
when a Mr , Kim was appointed in his place.
Mr. Yo will not return to his native coun
try , but will remain in America that his
rons may have the benefit of an Occidental
education.
During the progress ot the Transmlssls-
IP. I i elppl Exposition both Mr , Ye and the Chinese
inlnlfiter Were guests In this city , Invited by
the. exposition officials. Mr , Ye was en
tertained'- E , Ilogowater , while his follow
Oriental waa taken care of by 2. T , Llndsey.
The distinguished guests were soon on very
friendly terms with their hosts. Mr. Ye ,
who was accompanied by his wife and son ,
liresontod Mr. Kosewater and wife with his
family photographs. Mr. Lludsoy received
similar tokens from the Chinese diplomat's
family , and has interchanged several letters
with him since.
In one of the rooms ot tbe c r ball little
frequented by the hundreds who dally pass
In'and out of its Imposing entrance , is a
collection as good as a roguo's gallery for
exhibiting the inborn dishonesty of some
species ot inanklnd. It is a largo pile of
short-weight measures of every kind , taken
from peddlers , market gardeners and even
grocers by the city sealer of weights and
measures. Some of them are eo cunningly
contrived that they must have caused their
Inventors to remain dwako for many an
hour , scheming and planning to get pennies
and nickels for nothing.
Most of the dry measures have movable
bottoms , which show a largo measure when
the careful bousewlfo sees them empty , but
which rise half way to the top of the re
ceptacle ivhon the vendor poises Jt on ono
hand. Then there are false bottoms put
In so skillfully that the casual observer
does not notice tbo difference between the
outside and the inside depth and pecks and
bushels which scorn to bo all they should
bo , but are In fact a pint or a quart short of
standard.
So many of these are confiscated that It
seems as though nearly every dealer in
Omaha must at some tlmo or other have been
provld'ed with them. But not many differ
ent Individuals are represented after all , for
if ono Is so determined to get on In the
world that be uses ono of these contrivances
be Is not discouraged the first time one Is
taken away from hlm.i Ho may even be so
enterprising that ho has another on band
and docs not need to lose any tlmo or money
by giving full measure even for ono day.
"A man who baa much to do with hotel
life sees a good many queer things in the
course of a few years , " said a colored jani
tor who -was almost raised in a hotel , and
who Is now employed in The Dee building ,
"and ho has lots of experiences that be
looks back upon with amusement , satisfac
tion or some other feeling , I remember ono
little Incident that happened to mo in the
latter part of tbo ' 70s , when I "was working
In a hotel in St. Joe. llary Anderson was
playing a two or three days' engagement
there and stopped at our hotel. The day
before the night of her lost performance
there had been a constant stream of people
to her room to ask for compllmcntaries , and
before night everyone around the hotel
waiters , bell boye , porters and everyone else
who bad had a chance to do the least little
thing for her had at least ono compli
mentary , I was always her favorite to do
anything when she was there , and I had
done more for her than any of the others ,
They know this , and when they all had
tickets and I didn't have any they made
lots of fun of me , and I felt pretty cheap.
There had been so many people to her
room that afternoon to ask for tickets that
I supposed she didn't have any left , and I
was afraid to ask her , anyhow.
"But along toward evening I got to want
ing some tickets 'pretty bad. ' Finally I
eturtcd up stairs slowly , thinking that I
would ask her as politely as I could , and
that she could only say no at the worst ,
Ueforo I got to her floor my courage gave
out and I turned back , hut soon I started
again and went to her door , my heart In
my mouth. She came to the door herself.
" 'Well , what can I do for you , ' she asked ,
and I thought It was all up with me.
" 'Miss Anderson , ' I said , 'I was Just won
dering If you had any'tickets left for to
night ? '
" 'Why , certainly , ' she answered. 'Just
come in. ' And she sat down and wrote out
a complimentary admission for four and
handed It to me. I ran down stairs and
showed It to tbo other people , and maybe I
didn't feel good with my four compll
mcntaries , while tbo others had one , or at
the most two. "
"I have been around tbe world consider
ably and bavo eeen much of human nature , "
said a well known railroad man , "but there
Is no place on earth where ao many peculiari
ties of the race are manifested as on the
street cars. For Instance , it has always
been a mystery to me why women of
leisure , who have nothing to consult except
their own pleasure , will persist In remain
ing down town until the rush of workers
homeward bound from n day's toll sots in ,
and then make a run for the cars. They ,
of course- expect men who have been work
ing hard all day to get up and give them a
seat and mentally vote them boors it they
do not. If they would only start a few
minutes earlier or wait half an hour until
the rush was over they could ride with com
fort. In other matters , the women are
very careful not to discommode themselves
In the least and are greatly put out at any
little Inconvenience. They will push Into
a crowded car as energetically , however , as
though their existence depended upon get
ting homo on that particular trip. "
"Tho women are not tbo only peculiar
ones , " ead | the man with a cigar , who was
crowded up against the platform rail.
"Tbo rules of the company will not allow
men to smoke in the car , though wo would
be very glad of on opportunity to go Inside
out of the dust and wind , and perhaps ho
fortunate ) enough to secure a scat. Thcro is
plenty of room inside now , but this plat
form Is so crowded that a man's cores are
in constant danger. Not half the men on
tbo platform are smoking , but for some
reason they Insist upon standing outside and
making themselves and others uncomfortable
when they could be at more ease Inside. "
"Why don't you throw your cigar away
or put off your smoke a few minutes and
go Inside yourself , " said the man who was
not smoking ,
"Well , I work in an establishment where
eraoklng during business hours Is prohibited ,
and , as eoon as I get out I feel like lighting
a torch , " said tbo smoker.
"I can stand any little inconvenience , "
sold a crusty old bachelor , "but there Is ono
thing which always makes roe mad. I have
stood up many times In a crowded car
waiting until a seat was vacated to get a
chance to rest , and finally see an opening ,
only to lose it by a piece of thoughtlessness
or unmitigated selfishness , I have never been
able to determine which. A row of women
will sit complacently in the car , evidently
perfectly satisfied with their lot. Finally
ono of them reaches her destination nnd
gets off. Without the wink of an eyelid
the women who ore left spread out and fill
up the gap , and I am fofced to shift over
on the other foot to get a rest. Just what
the expansive capacity of a1 row of women
is I bavo never been able to determine , but
they can fill up a couple of such gaps with
as llttjo fuss as water rushes In when you
withdraw your finger. "
"Those men out on the platform think
the women are the only thoughtless ones
who ride on the street cars , " said a woman
next to the door who had overheard the
conversation , "They probably never notice
the roan who plunges through the car like a
foot ball player , trampling on the toes of
these who have corns and these who have
none. Nothing can stop him and he is
too busy getting out to even apologize. "
"You people do not know what trouble Is , "
said the conductor as ho knocked off a
man's bat in an effort to reach the bell cord.
"Between the pawcnger who thinks wo
ought to know just where howants to get
oft without being told , and the man who
thinks the service Is conducted for bis per
sonal benefit because ho rides on a pass ,
and people who have other little peculiari
ties , the life of a street car conductor is one
long , summer-day dream. The car was
running at a good speed this morning , tbo
rails were a little slippery , and we ran by
a man who lives on the line. It was n
matter of only a few feet , but it la a 10 to
I shot that a complaint Is on file down at ,
the office , and when we get In wo will he
called up for an interview with the 'old
man , ' If ronstlngs bad any effect on the
human being I would have been done to a
turn long ago. If a passenger strikes a corn
on the car step while getting on , the con
ductor Is held responsible' gets a look
that is meant to annihilate him If nothing
worse.
"Come around some tlmo when I have a
day off and I will tell you my trouble ? , "
said the conductor , as the man who bad
opened the session of the Platform Kickers'
club swung off tbo car and started up a
dido street for homo.

"Forever be his name accursed of men
and his crime be the associate of his mem
ory , " was the cry of the people of the
United States upon the exposureof Bene
dict Arnold , 119 years ago , The story of
his treason Is known by every American
and always will be known In the years to
como. The dead past cannot always bury
Its dead ; the. living past sometimes chrlstciu
them.
Following close on the revulsion of feeling
and universal contempt expressed for Ar
nold came another emotion none the less
sincere and genuine. It was gratitude to
God that Ho had saved the country , Prob
ably no event In American history has
produced such universal excitement. The
feeling was general that It was only by
tbo Intervention of providence that the
army was saved and tbo future of this
liberty-loving country madoi secure. Men
and women trembled when they learned
of the great danger they had been In , They
cursed lArnold and then prayed fervently
and thankfully ,
So great was the excitement and so In
tense was tbo feeling of gratitude to Cod
that congress appointed the 7th day of De
cember , 1780 ( eleven weeks after the cap
ture of Andre ) , as a day ot Thanksgiving
for thq whole people. The states followed
the example of congress , the governors set
ting aside the name day as a holiday for the
observance of the cause ,
John Hancock was governor of Massa
chusetts at this time and his proclamation
reflects the spirit of the time , calling par
ticular attention to "the late remarkable
Interposition of Ills watchful providence in
rescuing the person of our commander-ln-
chief and the army from Imminent dangers
at the moment when treason was ripened
for execution. "
The message concludes with ; "God save
the people of I bo United States. "
Americans bavo found much slnco this
first proclamation for which to bu grate
ful , but there Is no parallel In history to
such H gigantic treason as that of Arnold
and no occasion for such hearfelt gratltuilo
as was felt by the fir fat Americans lighting
for life and liberty. "
