2 CELESTIALS IN COURT. AN UNJUST CHARGE AGAINST TWO CHINESE MILLIONAIRES. feather Hasty Action of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil dren- -Attacking- Virtue in Order to Avenge Vice- Something About tjie 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* mark.sl “Boodle.” Fifteen or twenty thousand people flock Ixl Rr '‘ tl ship in rad water at G 1.. ■ Square Garden, on w hich there f “*' three solid hours, i‘“' dor ;' - loose. There are emilcs . watiHWi,— pretty giris, outlaw drills, sib or hornpipes and nautical nonsense of every variety. It is a noble attempt at aquatic 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.” Blakely Hall. 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 THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JUNE 20, 1887. 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. Richard J. Hinton.
