PRETTY MRS. HiP’LUNG.“

The Heroine of a Pathetic Story of the
Chinatown 01' Chicago.

There was a pathetic scene in China-

town the other night when the wife of

 

 

 

‘ Hip Lung and her youngest son, Fook

Chew, left for the Flowery kingdom,

never to return. to America, says the.

Chicago Times-Herald. It was known
along Clark street for several days that
Mrs. Lung was to start on her long
journey that night, and to show their
respect for her a large number of Chi-
namen were on hand to see her depart.
The husband, as stoical as a statue,
stood among the crowd on the side-

walk as the carriage containing his ‘

wife and child was driven away. Fook
Kim, the five-year-old boy of Mr. and
Mrs. Lung, thrust his little head out of
a second-story window and in pure
English cried out: “By-by, mamma.”

In the carriage sat the heart-broken
mother with a handkerchief pressed to
She glanced up at her little
boy, who was standing on his tip-toes
at the window. blowing kisses at her.
The husband also looked up as he heard
the voice: “By-by, mamma.” With a
pitiful cry the little woman sank back
in the carriage, her face buried in her
handkerchief. The driver whipped up
the horses. and the carriage rattled
away to the Northwestern depot.

Hip Lung and his wife decided some
time ago to separate. What the trouble
is between the couple could not be
learned. It is said that Hip Lung lav-
shed too much attention on white

women to please his wife, and after.

,much bickering they agreed to part.
Hip Lung is reported to be worth one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and the report in Chinatown is that he
gave his wife twenty-five thousand dol-
lars to go back to China. She was
given the youngest child and the father
keeps the eldest.

Mrs. Hip Lung isthe daughter of one
of the wealthiest families in Canton.
She is very intelligent, with a béauti—
ful olive complexion and features that
bespeak the gentlewoman of China. It
has been said that she was the hand-
somest Chinese woman in the
United States. Fook Chew, the boy
she is taking home with her, was born
July 4, 1892. He was asleep when he
was carried into the carriage.

About half-past nine o’clock the car-
riage was driven to Hip Lung’s place.
Bundles and baskets were quickly
placed on the driver’s seat, and ten
minutes later some one went upstairs
and told Mrs. Lung that all was ready.
She pressed her little boy again and
again as the tears streamed down her
cheeks. Tearing herself from the boy
she followed the man who was carrying
Fook Chew in his arms downstairs.
As she reached the sidewalk her hus-
band stood within reach of her arm,
but there was no sign of recognition
between them. Mrs. Lung was attired
in a gorgeous dress. It had cost her
husband a good-sized fortune in China.
She wore nothing upon her head. In her
hair and on her wrists were ornaments
worn only by Chinese of high caste.
Her feet were encased in “Liza 'daintiest
slippers that one ever‘looked at. There
was a‘queenly beauty about the little
woman as she tripped across the side-
walk to the carriage. As the carriage
rolled away Hip Lung entered his
store, where a crowd of his countrymen
were playing dominoes. He walked
over to where a teapot stood on a table,
with a little cup at its side. - He gulped
down a cup of the nectar and then
joined the group that stood round the
domino players. Little Fook Kim cried
himself to sleep.

 

COLORED LIGHT ON PLANTS.

Its Eflect in Some Instances of Great
Benefit.

AlthOugh the store of human knowl-
edge on the subject of the attributes of
colors is gradually growing, and we
have even gone so far as to differentiate
the sounds caused by the falling of a
ray of sunshine on cloths of various

' tints, comparatively little is yet known

of the physiological efifect of color on
human beings. The votaries of the
“blue glass craze,” whiCh came into
vogue some years ago, who firmly be-
lieved that a bath in a flood of colored
light was the finest restorative that
tired and ailing humanity could have
recourse to, may possibly have been

' wiser in their generation than those

who derided them. Whatever the ef-
fect of colored light on individuals may
finally be determined to be, its influ-
ence on plants is now unquestionably
proved. The use of glass of a green

~ tint has for half a century been one of

the peculiar characteristics of the plant
houses at Kew gardens, near Hondon.
In 1889, the experiment was niade of
substituting white glass for green in
the east ‘wing' of the tropical fern
house. This was the result of the ob-
servation of the successful cultivation
by an amateur horticulturist of ferns
with full exposure to the light. The
improvement in the growth, of the
plants w,as remarkable. 11111892 a por-
tion of’ the, west wing was also re-

 

 

3i glazed, and the new temperate fern‘

house was wholly glazed with white
glass. . The result has been so marked-
ly beneficial that it has "now been de-
termined to abandon entirely the fu-
ture use of green glass.

 

Cleaning Totiacco Pipes.

There are so many smokers in the
world that any new recipe for cleaning
pipes is sure to find readers. The Mex-
ican gypsy has a simple way. - Filling
the pipe bowl with aguadiente, he
stirs the liquid until it is thick with the
reeking nicotine, and then throws the
devil’s broth down his throat, with a
smack of the lips that tells of supreme
gusto. This is economical, but not so
desirable to people who are not Mexi-
can gypsies as the following, which
was sent to a leading journal, “not as
a scientific discovery,” but because it
might be “of use to those scientific
men who are smokersz” “A shallow
cork—or, still better, a. rubber stopper
,—through which a hole is bored large
enough to enable it to fit tightly on to
the nozzle of a soda water siphon, is
fitted into the bowl. The nozzle is in-
serted, the mouthpiece directed into a
vessel, about a wineglass of soda forced
through, and the pipe is clean.”

FEMALE PHILOSOPHER.

,How a Young Massachusetts Wife Took
Her Husband’s Dcsertlon.

A young Massachusetts wife was de-
serted recently by her husband onthc
fifth anniversary of their marriage. He
ran avvay with a prctty and silly girl of
18 who worked in thesamc shop with
him. The deserted wife treated the mat-
ter “almost philosophically,” according
to the report of the Boston Herald. She
said there had been no difficulty be-
tween her husband and herself, and that
they were “very agreeable to each other
up to the last.” But she added: “If
he is crazy for the girl, all right; I want
nobody who does not want me.”

It strikes us that this is not “almost”
but altogether philOsophical. Why
should any self-respecting woman, or
man either, want anybody who does not
want them—and not only want them,
but prefer them to anybody else in the
world ? In the savage state, or wherever
women are regarded as property or as
toys and men as necessary protectors,
a different feeling is natural. But civil-
ized men, and women, too, are frequent-
ly less sensitive and unselfish than the.
noblest brutes.

It may have been philosophy, or it
may have been only pride, but the
young Massachusetts wife spoke with
unusual fineness of feeling.

THE BUCKET .SHOP.
A Woman Who Wanted Large Lots of
uckcts. But No Grain.

' A well-known citizen who resides in'
Northwest Washington is a patron of
a certain bucket shop; says the Wash-
ington Star. His wife was informed
of the fact and accused him of it with
so much directness that he could not
deny it.

“You made $200 'On; buckets in some
shop, didn’t you?” she demanded to!
know.

“Certainly, clear. You see the war in
Cuba creates a great demand for buck-
ets, and there is a. place where you can
give your orders and sell them again
at a profit.”

Nothing more 'was said, but the wife
concluded to make some money on
buckets .and not let her husband know
it. In some way she learned the location
of the. bucket shop, and going down town
told who she was, and said:

“I want $100 worth of buckets. The
same kind my husband bought.”

“It is a little risky to—day, madam,”
said the proprietor, who did not want
to explain the operations of the place.

“I don’t care,” she urged. “Here’s
the money. I’ll come after the buck-
ets to—morrow."

The next day she appeared and was
informed that the buckets had been
bought and sold at $100 advance, but
that the supply was exhausted and they
were going into the wheat and corn
business until more could be manufac-
tuned.

“I don’t want any wheat or corn,” she
said; “but ain’t it mean. I can’t buy
any more buckets ?” And the husband
congratulates himself on. how he suc-
ceeded in getting the bucket shop pro-
prietor to stop his wife’s dealingswith-
out revealing their nature, while she
is a spring hat and a dress ahead.

The Stonington Girl Located After Six
Weeks of wandering. '

FEARS THE INSANE ASYLUM

 

When Discovered In Montreal, the De-
mented Girl Tried to Jump Through
a. IVindow In an Endeavor to
Escape From Her Brother.

MONTREAL, May 25.——After six weeks
of mysterious wandering Maud C. Wil-
liams of Stcnington, Conn, was found by
your correspondent. yesterday afternoon
at the sheltering home of the Young
Women’s Christian association. The night
before a young woman resembling her
was seen on board of the night train from
Quebec to this city on the Canadian Paci-
flcrailway by one of the train dispatchers.
He communicated with your representa-
tive, and she having told the crew of the
train that she was going to the sheltering
home the latter place was visited, but it
was necessary to bring her brother, Mr.
Ephraim Williams, Jr., before any com-
munication could be had with her.

Though the matron of the home was
warned not to allow Miss Williams to es-
cape, the young lady made an effort as
soon as the cab containing her brother
and a newspaper man arrived to get
away, even attempting to jump through
the window. At the request of he; broth-
er Miss Montgomer , the matron, tried
to prepare her for t a meeting withher
brother, with the result that she went in-
to hysterics and begged her to protect her

into an insane asylum. When she finally

did see her brother, she quieted down and

expressed pleasure at meeting him again.
The Girl’s Story.

The girl was only a shadd’w of her for-

mer self. ‘ Her story is to the effect that

. she left the care of her physician at Provi-

dence because she wanted to go away and
earn her own living. She has but a very
faint remembrance of what became Of her
after she left this city, where she arrived
on the 9th of April. All she can say is
that she wcutto obtain employment as a
housemaid in aifemlly up town. From
the Montreal city detectives it has since
been ascertained that she worked in a
boarding house on Bleury street, between
St. Catherine and Ontall‘o.

“When I had money enough,” she said,
“to go further, I went to Ottawa, giving
my name, as before, as Jessie Barclay. In
Ottawa I could not find anything to do,
and after suffering many privations I met
some good ladies, who interested them-
selves in me. They asked me if I had any
relatiVes in Canada, and I told them that
I came from England; that my name
was Jessie White, and that I had friends
in Quebec.

‘ ‘The ladies sent me to Quebec,and while
there I was taken in with fever and cared
for in the Jeffrey Hale hospital. While
there a lady of the Y. M. C. A. visited
me, and when I told her that Ihad friends
in Montreal whose address I did not know
they volunteered to 'send me up there and
see that I would be looked after until I
found’my friends. ”

I Her Mind Unbalanced.

Mr. Williams engaged a professional
nurse for his sister and proposes to leave
at once for Boston, his principal fear be-
ing that she will run away again. Her
condition is such, the doctors say, that
unless she receives the best of professional
care her life will be very short.

When a child of 4 years, Maud was
stricken down with a severe attack of
scarlet fever, from which she never wholly
recovered, her mind wandering from time
to time and she being subject to severe fits
of extreme nervousness. So violent would
she become at times that she was closely
watched—in fact, guarded—up to 18 years
of age, when she appeared to have out-
grown the malady somewhat.

A year later, without the slightest warn-
ing, she disappeared and went to New York,
where she remained two weeks before any
trace of her could be found, and it then
came from herself. She wrote a letter to
her mother, stating that she was in good
health and would return in eight days.
No address was given, and, though almost
the entire staff of One of the leading pri-
vate detective agencies there were at work
on the case, she could not be located.
When the eight days had elapsed, the
young woman suddenly walked into her
home at Stonington as unconcerned as if
nothing had happened. When questioned
as to her actions during the two Weeks,
Maud could say nothing—all was a blank.

The Family Worth Millions.

After this episode the young woman
appeared to improve in health and mind
and for the past two years has mingled
freely in society in Stonington, but in
March last she became nervous again, and
as her relatives suspected a return of the
complaint they insisted on a trip to Prov-
idence, where she was placed in a sanita-
rium.

When she left the sanitarium, Maud
took a train to Boston and went from
there to Portland by boat. At the station
she was found asleep by the matron, who,
on listening to a pitiful tale as to how her
pocket had been picked, sent her to the
superintendent of the Boston and Maine,
who granted her a ass to St, gohnsbury
under the name of . essie Barclay. From
there she was passed along by kin, hearted
conductors to Newport, at whlc point
Conductor Sheldon of the Canadian Paci-
fic railway took her in charge and brought
her to this city.

The Williams family is worth $33,000,-
000, her father being ex-Judge Ephraim
Williams. The estate is said to be locked
up in the courts at present, but will come
to the family in course of time. Mr. Wil-
liams, Jr., who is with his sister, is a
Princeton college student.

 

A Veteran Missing.

TROY, N. Y., May 25.—-The detectives
are searching for Reuben T. Pratt, a resi-
dent of Grafton. ' Mr. Pratt, who is a vet-
eran soldier, came to this city Wednesday
and drew $1,461 back pension, recently
secured by him,from the Central bank.
He then made the purchase of a gold
watch and immediately disappeared.

That hideous and deathly
~ demon of sickness—constipa-
tion, is an easy enough thing to cure if _
you take the right medicme. _ Constipa
tion is one of the commonest things in the
world. It is really one of the most sen-
ous things. Fully nine-tenths of all the
ordinary sickness of mankind is due to
this one cause. If you place an obstruc-
tion in the gutter, it will stop the flow of
water, and gradually a mass of person-
ous, putrefying matter W111 accumulate
That is exactly what happens .m the
digestive organs when constipation be-
gins. Poisonous matter accumulates and
is forced into the blood. It goes all over
the body and causes all sorts of symp
toms. A few of these are dizziness, flatu-
lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches,
loss of ap etite, loss of sleep, foul breath,
distress after eating, biliousness and emp-
tions of the skin. These things are un~
pleasant, but they are not serious. Th3
serious things come afterward, Doctor
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are for the curé
of constipation. They are tiny, sugar-
coated granules, easy to take, mild and
efficient in their action. One is a gentle
laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is
nothin else in the world like them.
There‘ is nothing that takes their place.
There is nothing ‘f just as good,” although
lieing and unscrupulous druggists may
sometimes tell you so for their own profit.
