THEY ,TOOK LI’S ADVICE.
New York's Chinnmen Lend Money on
Soilerl Linen.
“I want to see the descendants of
Confucius in America develop the
business instincts common to the peo-
ple of the United States,” said Li Hung
Chang in an interview during his re—
cent visit to this country. And there-
upon the Mongolians throughout
Greater New York lost sleep devising
ways and means to take advantage of
the American system of gathering in
:he hard cash. Out of the many meth-
ods put into use, perhaps the most
successful attempt at money making
was developed among the Chinese who
lo your laundry. .
The scheme is a. simple one and
productive of good results. This is
the way it is done: Suppose, for in-
stance, a gentleman who is in need of
l. few small coins, wants to make a
:emporary raise. All he has to do is
:0 wrap up his soiled linen and hie
nimself to the. nearest laundryman,
where he expresses a desire to get a
loan.

the pile of clothing, inspects the tex-
:ure and quality of your white shirts,
lsxamines the ply and brand of your
Bollars and offers from 15 to 75 cents

:erms you are obliged to come around
before a week expires and take your
washing away, paying the regular
rates, plus the amount loaned, together
with a small interest. If you do not

Synopsis of the Commission’s An-
.nual Report.
CONGRESS NOT POWERLESS
Supervision of Express, Elevator
and Railroad Rolling Stock Rec-
ominendeel—Conrpnlsory Through
Routes and Uniforln Rates Urged.
was hington, Dec. 17. ——The eleventh
annual report of the Intelstate Com-
merce Commission has been made pub-
lic. It contains much interesting in-
formation about the dealings Of rail-
road companies and common carriers
with the general public, and the efforts
of great corporations and big shippers
to secure advantages in rates, as well
as a general outline of schemes for the
oppression of small shippers.
During the year charges and prac-
tices of 510 carriers in various parts of
theyountry were inquired into. The
report shows that freight charges paid
by the public during the year 1896 were
$786,615,837, and that a ,very slight
in rates on a staple article
amounts to an enormous sum in the
aggregate. The railway traffic man-
ager may decree whether an industry
shall exist or a locality flourish. The
question, the report points out, is one
of transoendent importance both to the
capitalist and the humblest citizen.
Advance figures from the prelim-
inary report on the income account of
railways for the year ending June 30,
1897, prepared in the statistician’s of-
fice, are also given, which show that
the gross earnings of 743 railways, rep-
resnting, on June 30, 1897, an Operated
mileage of 180,127.65 miles, were $1,116,~
635,909. The operating expenses were
$747,589,370, leaving net earnings 'Of
$369,046,629. The railways also received
$34,166,656 from sources other than op-
eration, so that the total income for the
year was $403,213,285. The total deduc-
tions from income, including in the
term interest, rents of leased lines,
taxes and other charges against in-
come, were $347,335, 105. The dividends
declared amounted to $57,290,579. The
deficit from the operations of the year
as reported was $1,412,399.
The statistician of the Commission
recommends that reports should be re-
quired from express companies and
companies owning rolling stock used
on railways; also special reports from
depot and elevator companies and car-
riers by water.
The Commission points out that Con-
gress is not powerless to remedy the
existing evil of rate cutting without
granting pooling, and that one way
would be to establish a supervision and
inspection of accounts, including, When
necessary, the taking charge of one or
more stations. That is no more rigor-
ous than the system under which na-
tional banks exist. This is not now
recommended, however. The Commis-
son does earnestly recommend that
Congress undertake the revision of the
entire law.
To make the act operative in accord-
ance with its generally accepted Ob-
jects and purposes, and to give prac-
tical effect to the sections which de-
clare unjust and unreasonable rates
and charges to be unlawful, and which
in terms forbid unjust discriminations
and undue preference, the Commission
submits and recommends amendments
relating to the preparation, filing and
powers of the
Commission over rates, and procedure
in the' courts. Amendments are also
proposed for section 4, the long and
short haul clause.
An amendment requiring import and
domestic traffic to be carried on at the
same rate is suggested, and authority
to require carriers to make through
ratei' and carry to any pain; at
thro gh rates is fore: ly urged.
WAITING FOR CALL OF TIME.
Cree‘lo'n and McCoy Ready to Enter
the Ring- To-nlght.
New York, Dec. 17.—It is not exag-
geration to say that two men were
never more confident of victory than
are Dan Creedon and Kid McCoy as to
the result of the big fight which takes
place to-night before the Long Island
' Athletic Club in Long Island City. One
of these two great boxers is sure to be
disappointed. It is the toss of a penny
as to which one will be victorious.
Theie is really litle to choose between
the two men. McCoy is a slight favor-
ite in the betting, but when they shake
hands it iglkely that even money will
prevail. ‘
The 'concensus of opinion is that the
fight will/boa fast one while it lasts,
but that the end will come quickly.
That it will result in a draw seems to
be out of the question. What sporting
people are most interested in now is
not which man will win, but whether
them is any possibility of the fight be-
ing stopped. The men may be arrested
bet‘Ore they enter the ring, but it' they
are they will be at once released on
bail Mayor Gleason has issued the
peImit fox 1!. e contest, and he says he
will be on hand to see that the law is
not violated. He controls the police in
Long Island City, and they will act
under his orders. Thus it would seem
that there is little chance of interfer-
really
brutal. If that should prove to be the
case before the contest is stopped one
man will have been able to demonstrate
his superiority over the other.
- The Beating Saved Her Life.
St. Louis. Dec.'17.—Mrs. Bessie Hahn,
while returning from a shopping expe-
dition, was invited to take a glass of
wine with Edward 'Dwyer. She had
$21 with her. She next came to herself
at home, and, when .her husband asked
for the money, it was gone. He gave
her a good thrashing, thinking she had
gotten drunk with the money. A doc-
tor had to be called, and he said the
beating saved the woman‘s life. as the
liquor was drugged with laudanum,
and the assault caused the blood to cir-’
culate and counteract the poison.

ORIGIN OF THEICARDIFF GIANT.
A Fake Petrified Body which Barnum
Paid 810,000 for.
The recent discovery of a petrified
giant of huge proportions in the neigh-'
borhocd of New Haven, Conn, recalls
the first osified product which was
manufactured in California during the
early days by a newspaper man, beart
ing the name of Chester Hull who not
only designed the gentleman, but after-
ward diseovered the so-called fossil
himself and sold it to P. T. Barnum.
who exhibited it around the country as
the Cardiff giant.
Hull, who had a liking for clay mod-
elling, conceived the idea of construct-
ing a colossal man of cement and bury-
ing it in a damp spot on a heavily
wooded hillside, where, after threr
years of interment, it would become
mouldy and assume evidence of great
age. When the time arrived for ex-
huming the fake Hull, accompanied by
his brother, who was also something
of a humorist, took out a picnic party,
and as though by accident spread their
lunch baskets on the very spot where
the cement man was moulding him-
self into artificial age. Hull insisted
on roasting some potatoes, broughl
along for the occasion, and proceeded
to dig a hole wherein to build a. fire
While digging he came upon whal
proved to be the foot of. his previous
plant. ’
He then got an old broken down
geologist and an anatomist to swear
that the fossil was genuine and notified
Barnum at once. When the old show-
man saw the so-called petrification he
looked at Hull laughingly and said:
“My boy, I know it’s a. fake, but what’s
it worth to you?"
The builder modestly asked $10,000.
and got it, and, turning over the sworn
statement of the geologist that it was
stone, and that of the anatomist that
it was once alive, delivered the crea-
tion to its purchaser, who took it on
the road and made ten times the money
he had invested.
FIRST SILVER WEDDING.
Origin of the Custom Dates Back to the
Reign of Hugh Capct.
The fashion of silver weddings dates
back to the reign of Hugues Capet,
King of France in 987, says Vogue.
Once as Hugues was arranging his
uncle’s affairs he found on. one of the
estates a servant who had grown gray
in the service of his relative. He‘ had
been such a friend of his master’s that
he was almost looked upon as one OI
the family.
On the farm with this old man was
also a serving woman who was as old
as he, and also unmarried, and who
had been the most devoted and hard-
working of the women servants ol
the king’s uncle. When the King
heard these praises of the two, he or-
dered them to be brought before him
and said to the woman:
“Your service is great, greater than
this man’s, whose services were great
enough, for the woman always finds
work and obedience harder than a
man, and therefore I will give you a
reward. At your age I know of none
better than a dowry and a husband.
The dowry is here—this farm from this
time on belongs'to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and
twenty years is willing to marry you
then the husband is ready.”
“Your Majesty ” cluttered the old
peasant confusedly, “how is it possible
that we should marry, having already
silver hairs?"
“Then it shall be a silver wedding,"
answered the‘king, “and here I give
you a wedding ring, " drawing a costly
ring from his finger, and placing the
hands of the thankful old people to
gather.
This soon became known all over
France, and raised such enthusiasm
that it became a fashion after a twen-
ty-five years’ marriage to celebrate a
silver wedding.

The line Laslios or Sweden.
At the jubilee festivities of King Os~
tar of Sweden and Norway one of the
features that appeared most to interest;
him was the exhibition of the female
lire brigade of Koenissen. There are
one hundred and fifty of theseyoung
women, from twenty to thirty years
old, directed by a male commander——
who is married. In vigilance, quick-_
ness and bravery the firewomen are
mid to be the equal of any, of their
masculine competitors. They came in
full uniform to go through the evolu-
