CELESTIALS IN COURT.
AN UNJUST CHARGE AGAINST TWO
CHINESE MILLIONAIRES.

Purity and Devotion of Chinese Moth
ers
New York, June IS. —There was a unique
scene in the Tombs Poliee Court, one day
this week. Jam Fong and Mong Hong
Long, two leading Chinese merchants and
millionaires, were brought before Justice
Qorman by the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children on the charge of
having two young girls in their possession
whom they wore bolding in duress until old
enough to be used for immoral purposes.
The court was crowded with representatives
from the Chinese quarter and the Imperial
Consulate. The spectators were treated to
tho somewhat rare sight of a Chinese
woman. Ah Sun, the wife of Jam Fong,
was there, dressed in American costume
and carrying a second edition of Jam
Fong in her arms. She is a bright,
rather attractive looking woman, whose
American clothes fitted her beautifully. I
was assured by Counsellor Starkweather,
who is a married man. and consequentlv an
expert in matters of this kind, that tho dress
and hat cost not less than SIOO. One of the
young girls was similarly arrayed in ex
jx-nsive American clothes, while the other
was attired in the picturesque costume of
tlie Flowery Kingdom. They were both
considerably frightened at being hauled into
the hideous and foul smelling Tomlis Police
Court., and the Chinese gentlemen who were
arraigned on this charge were evidently
puzzled at the peculiar development of our
coasted civilization, which made a criminal
matter of an action which is regarded as
creditable in every civilized country —
taking care of the orphans. It was quickly
and conclusively proved that the charge
was unfounded and the ense was
dismissed, but it seems to me that
Mr. Gerry might ha vy easily spared the two
little girls the fright, which amounted to
positive cruelty, by looking into the case
carefully l>efore causing tne arrest. Mi - .
Gerry in explaining the matter said that a
similar practice had been unearthed in San
Francisco some years ago. und he feared its
fepetition here. I was in San Francisco
during the excitement referred to and was
much in the Chinese quarter, and of my own
knowledge know that the matter was much
exaggerated. The exposure, however, hud
the effect of making every Chinese woman
an object of suspicion, and thus w-orking a
great injustice to a number of worthy women,
good wives and mothers. Asa matter of
fact the average Chinese woman is like the
Chinese man, far better educated than
her Caucasian sister of the corres
ponding class in society. They can
all refill and write, and in home life
are a noble example to our American
women, being devoted mothers, and mari
tal infidelity is almost unknown among
them. Many of the better claas are educated
by American teachers, and in matters of
beauty and culture compare very favorably
with our American girls. The Chinese
mind is naturally bright and witty and
poetical withal. I had the good fortune to
De admitted on terms of intimacy in the
the family of one of the wealthiest Chinese
merchants, and his charming daughter
made a deep impression upon my then sus
ceptible heart. She was a very pretty girl,
talked English and French fluently, played
divinely flpon the piano, and was altogether
lovable and lovely. She was rather better
educated than the average American girl,
for the time they spent in shopping for a
paper of pins or promenading the streets
and fluiing she devoted to her studies.
This New York attack was instigated by
the Chinese gamblers and keepers of the
opium joints upon whom Wo Kee. Jam
Fong, Quoug Hong Long and Yut Sing,
who lead the conservative and reputable
element in Mott street society, have waged
incessant warfare. The gamblers deter
mined to get square and brought their story
to the attention of Mr. Gerry and succeeded
in deceiving him so completely that the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children was placed in the mortifying posi
tion of attacking virtue in order to revenge
vice. Allan Forman.
THEATRICAL NEWS.
Sothern’s Son a Chip Off the Old Block.
New York, June 18. —The gossip of tho
stage has been varied and interesting this
week. Mr. E. H. So them’s position in Miss
Helen Dauvray’s company is the principal
subject of talk. Ho is the son of his father,
a bright and interesting man, a hard worker
and without any particular fortune. Mr.
Sothem has been in Miss Dan vray’s com
pany for three seasons, and his work has
been of the most }iaiustaking and conscien
tious character. She can never hope to have
a better lieutenant. He was ambitious and
did not expect to play in the support of an
actress of Miss Dauvray's stamp forever.
After the close of her season this year he
produced a comedy which was written for his
father, called “The Highest Bidder,” and he
made such a distinguished success that he
received offers from various managers for a
starring tour. He was engaged for Miss
Dauvray’s coming season, but it was the
opinion of theatrical men of all shades that
the actress would not stand in the way of
the advancement of the man who had done
to much to make hen - New York engagement
successful. It was believed that she would
lend a cordial hand to Mr. Sothern’s am
bition. But she did not. Very far from it,
hi fact. She has refused to let him go un
less ho pays a forfeit of $d,00l), and this, of
course, is impossible. More than that, it is
decidedly unjust. Miss Dauvray’s pique has
gone so far that she has resolved to revenge
herself ujxm Mr. Sot hern to even a greater
extent than this for his heinous offense. She
has engaged Robert Hilliard to play leading
pai-ts in all of her dramas, and, it is said
will force Mr. Sothem to take minor char
acters, such as servants, etc., in the plays in
which he formerly played roles equally
prominent w r ith Miss Dauvray. The delib
erate intention of this is to spitefully injure
a man whose only crime is a desire to get
on in the world. It is an astounding exhi
bition of pique, and one that is, I need not
say, universally condemned. Exactly how
much harm Miss Dauvray will l* able to do
Mr. Sothern’s future stal l ing tour by mak
ing him play minor parts through the coun
try this year it is not easy to foretell, but it
will undoubtedly be very great. The actor
announces that he will go with her and
dick to the letter of his contract. He re
fuses absolutely to contest the injustice of
the scheme. Aside from its spitefulness it
is an extraordinary mistake as a matter of
policy on Miss Dauvray’s paid.
“Jacquettc,” which was produced by Me-
Cnull at Wallack’s Theatre on Monday
night, proved to be a bright and entertain
ing opera. It is mainly noticeable, liow
sver, because in it tho topicul song readied
a still further state of development. Mr.
De Wolf Hopper sings tho usual line of
versus, but w ben it comes to the cdtchwoid
and points to the end of tho patter, a magic
lantern is brought Into play and the point
illustrated is flashed upon the screen. For
instance, a verse is sung, detailing tho wis
dnrn, patriotism and statesmanship 1 of a leg
islator, who stands with uplifted hand and
noble brow, advocating the passage of a
great railroad bill for the good of tho peo
ple, tut at the end of the vei*se conies the
slogan, “It Is quite a different thing when
the Bull’s Eye. is on." Then n picture Is
flashed on the canvas, showing the legis
lntor from the rear. The hand, which is
behind his buck, is ojien and tho lobbyist is
pushing into it a substantial puckavo*

realism, and the music of “Pinafore” has
almost grown young again.
A man who was introduced to Dixey, the
comedian, the other night, unconsciously
outlined his own character in a brief sen
tence. He said lugubriously:
“I have simple tastes, Mr. Dixey, and I
enjoy myself as much as most men in a
?uiet wav, for I like pinochle, I like cribbage,
like chess and 1 like whist.”
“In that case,” said Mr. Dixey, with the
sweetest smile and a warm pressure of the
hand, as he moved away, “good evening.”
Larry Jerome’s storv this week is going
the rounds rapidly. The aristocratic .Mrs.
Vanastorbilk lias a telephone in her house,
and, as tho meat hail not arrived for dinner
up to 5 o’clock, she telephoned the central
office, and was put in communication with
the butcher.
“Wal?” drawled the butcher over the
wire.
“Where is the meat that was ordered for
Mrs. Vanastorbilk this morning?”
“It’ll lie at th’ house in ten minutes.”
“I'm afraid you will disappoint me.”
“Wal, you kin bet your sweet life, me
duisy, dot I won't disappoint you, for I’m
dead stuck on your shape.”
A shriek and then the query, “Do you
know to whom you are talking!”
“Of course I do. ’ I’m talking to tli’
cook.”
“No ydli’re not, yo’s’re talking to Mrs.
Vanastorbilk.”
“Well, in that case.” was the cheerful re
sponse, “all bets is off.”

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Improved Appearance of the Capitol
Grounds—The Philanthropist Corco
ran.
Washington, June 18.—Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been spent in im
proving the grounds around the eapitol,
anil they certainly present a very attractive
appearance. The marble terraces which
were begun in 1884 are beginning to show'
how beautiful they will be, and
those who have not visited the eapitol for
three or four years would now hardly recog
nize the grounds.
• By Decemlter next the north staircase,
that is the one north of the western centre
of the edifice, but on the west side, must be
done. The other staircase and the whole
terrace structure must be entirely finished
by June 1, 1888. There will then be two
grand stab-eases, the northernmost ap
proached by the walk from the Pennsylva
nia avenue entrance, and the southern one
by that from Maryland avenue, w hore the
Garfield statue stands. All concede who
Jmve seen what is now completed of the
terrace that it improves the appea ranee of
the exterior of the eapitol beyond the power
of anyone to imagine who has not observed
it, and contrasted it with the views of tho
building when it seemed to stand directly
upon the ground, or like a statue without a
pedestal.
A great portion of the works on the new
terrace does not show, being wholly beneath
the surface of the ground, for it was neces
sary to dig down from twenty to twenty
five feet to get a solid foundation, because it
was all made ground. It is believed that a
ravine with water in it used to lx? just un
der where the terraces now are at the liase
of the west front of the main building.
NEWSPAPER FILES.
The library of the United States Ought to
be the repository of the newspaper files of
the country —the storehouse out of which
the history of the ]xople will lx> written. Its
newspaper files are now comparatively
few and comparatively imperfect. It
has complete flies of some of the Phil
adelphia, New York and Boston news
papers and some of the newspapers pub
lished elsewhere. But its collection
does not begin to compare in variety or in
value with that in the possession of the
American Antiqunrian Society, at Worces
ter. Mass.—probably the most complete col
lection of American newsjxtpers in exist
ence. Yet this collection at Worcester is
full of yawning gaps. There is in tho
Library ot the United States an absolutely
complete collection of American newspapers
for just one day. It was gathered through
the census agents in 1880. The Super
intendent of tho Census asked
the publishers of the newspapers
and periodicals throughout the country
to send copies of their publications here—
each to be of the date ot July 4, or as near
that, day as possible. They all responded,al
though the request had to be repeated in
some eases. The newspapers had to be filed
alphabetically by places of publication in
the several States, the newspapers of each
State being together in portfolios and so de
posited in tlie Library of the United States.
The periodical press was deposited in groups
having the same subject matter.
A LITTLE LAND SPECULATION.
Wo think that Gardiner Hubbard has
been very fortunate in turning over his $30,-
000 investment in suburban real estate so as
to get $250,000 out of it. It is tho biggest
success ever known in Washington. But it
is just no success at all compared with the
real estate speculation I was told of to-day.
Out in Cincinnati there is a company which
owns a “city" in Florida. The com
pany gave tho city a saint’s name,
and then advertised it all over the
country, chiefly in the rural press,
with an alluring map showing the
city lots, the churches, tlie school houses
and the public buildings, or at least the sites
set a]>art for them. Lots in this magical
“city” were offered at fabulously low’ rates.
The'best corner lots cost only $5, and other
lots could be hail at $4, $3 mid $2, and even
$1 apiece. A warranty deed with a big red
seal accompanied each anil every lot, and
I don’t know but that a Huckleberry
watch was thrown in. “The World
is full of suckers,” so a local real estate
operator said to me the other day, and they
rose to this tempting bait with unusual
alacrity. The new company soon had as
large a daily mail as the oldest merchant in
Cincinnati.' Inquiries soon began to come
to tlie Post Office Department as to whether
this concern was honest and its promises
trustworthy. The Post Office Department,
in the exercise of one of its socialistic func
tions, proceeded to investigate the concern
preparatory to determining whether or not
it should Ix3 l'orbiddep the mails. The com
pany was very frank. It showed its Ixxiks
to tne Department with the consciousness of
virtue. From these the Department learned
that the concern had carried out all its
pledges. Every investor had actually re
ceived a valid title with warrant to a lot in
a tract of ground in Florida owned by the
concern. But. it ulso learned that the “city”
exist tlie concern just SOOO, while it had re
ceived up to that date $108,(KX) and had
sold only about one-sixth of the lots. There’s
money making for you!
GETTING EVEN WITH A TELLER.
There is in Washington a small boy, not
more than 10 years of age, whose indulgent
mother keens him well supplied wit h pocket
money. This young mail opened an ac
count with the local savings bank some time
ago, and on April 1 lie had on deposit there
about till. Two or three days ago he hod a
foiling out with the tidier of the Institution.
For nearly a week he tried to think up
some method of settling the score, and
at last he hit upon a plan. Hs went
to the bank and drew out SKO from
bis store. Then he went over to the
Treasury building, which is just across tho
street, and laid his three “tons” converted
into thirty “ones.” Next he proceeded to
make out'thirty deposit slips, each for SI.
These he carried to the bank, one at a time,
coni) elling the poor teller to make thirty
separate entries in his books. The following
day this young fiend again drew out fsW.
Again he visited the Treasury, but this
time he had his money changed into silver
i nailers, bright from the mint. One hun
dred and twenty deposit tickets were then
prepared, and a corresponding number of
entries had to lie made in that unfortunate
teller's big books. Then for three days an
armistice was declared, but at tho
end of that time SUO was again drawn
out, and this time when the bov visited
tiio Treasury building it wiis dimes
t' at h wanted. Tho regulation

deposit slips were prepared once more, and
the teller gritted his teeth when he saw that
he was again to be made the victim of that
boy’s vindictiveness At last the 800 dimes
were all in the bank, anil the young villain
prejWred to reduce the store of his wealth
to nickels, but lie was notified that the bank
would insist upon the thirty days’ notice
allowed by law, and for a time the teller
rests.
MR. CORCORAN IMPROVING.
Mr. Corcoran appears to be improving
slowly. He was beginning to plan for his
annual visit to AVTiito (Sulphur Springs,
where he had spent his summers for years,
when he was attueked by his recent illness.
Mr. Corcoran has aged rapidly during the
past year. His form lias become less erect,
his hair and moustache become white,
and he has found his eyesight failing.
He is tho foremost man among the resi
dents of the capital. He is Washington’s
citizen. He is tne richest man in town; the
most popular; the most respected. His
wealth, gathered chiefly while he was the
head of the banking firm of Corcoran &
Biggs, is almost all invested here, and his
income, so far as it has been expended, has
been sjient here. His good deeds have been
done here.
His gifts include tho famous Corcoran
Gallery of Art, the Oak Hill Cemetery and
the Louise Homo for Gentlewomen. Ho
has given liberally to the Columbia Uni
versity and to the Ascension Episcopal
church, and has contributed to numerous
other religious and philanthropic enterprises.
His was the name on every important sub
scription paper. He has always taken a
public spirited interest in all local affaii-s.
Asa life-long Democrat he rejoiced in the
election of Cleveland, and has testified on
all occasions and many ways to his admira
tion for the President anil Mrs. Cleveland.
Mr. Corcoran’s nearest heirs will tie his
three grandchildren. It is understood that
in his will he has left each of them about
$ 1,000,Mil l, that lie has provided generously
for the rest of his family, and for his many
dependents, and that he has left the major
portion of his estate in public benefactions.
He Ls reported to be worth from $0,000,000
to $7,000,000.
A GOOD HOTEL WANTED.
Washington is fast becoming the city of
national conventions. The beauties ot the
city itself, and the historical treasures which
abound in its immediate vicinity, serve to
make it very attractive to people * from all
parts of the country. Every one who comes
here, however, speaks of the one thing
needed. That is, a hotel with first-class ac
commodations in every respect. There is
no city in the world where the hotel pro
prietors look after the table and the comfort
of the inner man more thail they
do in this city. But the hotel
buildings themselves are a disgrace to
any community. There is not one of them
which can be called even second-class. They
are well furnished anil well kept, but they
are not hotels. ,It will be a great day for
the city when a hotel of modern design is
erected here, and the indications are now
that this will be accomplished within a year.
A company of capitalists is said to be nego
tiating for a site now, and as soon as the ne
cessary arrangements are completed, it is
altogether probable that Washington will
have one of the most thoroughly appointed
hotels in the country.
NEW YORK’S ARIZONA INTEREST.
Some Interesting Gossip About Specu
lations and Speculators.
New York, June 18. —It is almost im
poesible to kill a regular “promotor.” I en
countered to-day one of the olden-time lob
byists, known in the days when Congress
voted millions of acres away every week,
when large accounts were being settled, fat
contracts given out and money “galore”
was wasted by our “Uncle Sam” on all
sides. I have not seen or heard of this par
ticular specimen of his class for more than
ten years and now he turns up here in New
York with a tremendous Arizona mine that
has “millions in it.” Perhaps it has, but, as
an old mining man, I doubt. There are a
lot of “specs” getting ready for the New
York market, and most of them have
the Arizona brand on them. My
acquaintance told me of a nuin
ber of New York men who are quite
active in that distant Territory, and of
some who have made their “pile” or are in
a fair way of doing so. One of these is well
know in New York. He is ex-Assistant
District Attorney, and is reported to be
“solid in copper” at this date. Arizona has
developed as a great copper region. During
tho last Geronimo Apache raid our legal
miner came mvir losing his life. The latest
arrival undertook to tell me of some of the
perils he had encountered, hut suddenly re
membering that I knew every section of the
territory, turned his narrative off with a
joke. Arizona miners are still a matter of
doubt, though then 1 can Ixj no question of
the mineral rjehes of that region. boom
has been planned by the promoters 3 this
market, but the latest Apache raid threat
ens to knock it “endwise.
New Yorkers generally and particularly,
so busily engaged as they are, have very
little knowledge of the “out o’ door” which
is contributory to their great city. Take
any one for an example. The oldest mining
region within tho boundaries of the Union
it is yet the least known. Mines were being
successfully worked in the Santa Rita Moun
tains where the last dispatches report the
marauding Apaches as slaying ranchmen
as far back as the early fifties, by men then
as well known in New York as Colt, the
gun man; Heintzleinan, the old soldier: Gil
bert D. Hopkins, of the Old Travelers’
Club; Charles D. Poston and others who
will be recalled by veterans here. The old
tiles of the New York Herald contain many
columns of exceedingly interesting letters
from the “Gadsden purchase,” when around
it and New Mexico centred the territorial
ambitions of the ante-bellum Southern lead
ers. At the Fifth Avenue Hotel I meet almost
daily a group of well-known men who are
all tiecoming deeply interested in the same
region. Ex-Senator Dorsey, (Jen. Marshall,
of Colorado, and a halt' dozen others might
be named. Col. Sykes, once known as the
publisher of “Brick” Pomeroy’s Daily
Democrat, has a large interest in Calabasas,
a name and locale which has become well
kmmnpn connection with Apache news and
raids. Calabasas was u Spanish frontier
post '-."tO years ago, and there are evidences
there of extensive mining ojx rations for tho
period and appliances. All of these interests
have lieen “watered” and nurtured for
some years past, ready for the next West
ern boom. The operators have been balked
again by the hostile Apache reports.
It is a curious fact that not only in Ari
zona the oldest portion of our mining re
gions, but it is the seat of old ruins and has
been scourged by the oldest and most con
tinuous of aboriginal lighters. The Apaches
were on the warpath when Cortez occupied
the valley of Mexico, and later when Coro
nado inarched to capture the s >ven cities of
Chibola. They have been lighting with
short intervals ever since. This last raid is
the most mysterious one of all recent out
breaks, if the reports now current be in any
way correct. Tno mining men now in this
city are greatly alarmed, and they have rea
son to lie, provided the rcjxirta are true.
The routes indicated as taken by the Apache
raiders will strike at the more
prosperous parts of Southern . Ari
zona, and are right in the way of
the new mining speculations that are
1 icing so carefully nursed for u market. But
the probabilities are tliat there is great ex
aggeration. The White Mountain reserva
tion has on it about 5,000 Apaches, men,
women and children. No report has been
received from San Carlos or any of the sub
agencies from the civil or military officers
there as to the absence of any marked
number of Indians. If 100 bucks had
almented themselves these officials would
know it . But they gave no sign. I sug
gested this to my friend, tho promotor, and
no left me a little comforted. The situation
is becoming interesting, and I shall now
watch the movement of Arizona “mines”
with more than the languid interest I have
felt of late years.

THE ARABS AT WAYCROSS.
What the Mayor of That Town Says
About Them.
Watcross, Ga., June 19.—Allow me to
correct a statement that appeared in the
Morning News of to-day, viz., that an
examination of an Arab camp near here
was made at the re-quest of Dr. McFarland
of your city. I had the Arabs in question
conducted through this place by a force of
police, ten dnys ugo, with instructions that
they be not allowed to remain within the
city limits. I have since learned that they
stopped in a shanty near the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad, where they
