W,' CHIHESE IMPUDENCE.
b, The reports from Washington to-day
js concerning the Chinese massacre of
jt. American and English missionaries at
-j Kuchen and outrages at other points
V are very likely to stir the blood of all
f- , who have more of that artlclo In their
, veins than tho fishes caught at Clray
, Gables.
l We are told that the Chinese omclals
4. have positively refused to ollow tho
j American Consul to muke any Invest!
JSJ nation of the robberies and murders, or
X even to be present at the pretended
if examination of the thieves and mur-
Uerers by the local authorities.
This, It Is added, ''Is not a matter of
4 creat surprise to the State Depart
ment," the refusal being attributed to
I "the Tvell-known desire of the Chinese
to conduct such Inquiries by their own
people, their dislike to having uny In
terference by outsiders and the general
suspicion with which they look upon
foreigners."
Tho American people would be pleased
to hear that not only the "surprise" but
the "Indignation" of the Government
at Washington was aroused by the In
sulting and humiliating report from
China, and that a protest would be
made by American vessels of war, with
orders to speak In their own language
When will the fishing be over at tj raj-Gables?
f, According to the preliminary reports,
. m. Mr. Brlce, of Ohio-New York, has "the
.,' p fight of his life" on his hands. Hut,
if; , according to the came sort of reports,
'1 S, "' Sir. Quay, ot Florlda-I'ennvyUunld, was
V j SS1 recently In the same fix. The Kepubll-
J ? . can Quaker boss, thus far, hasn't found
' ;f i struggle enough even to blister his
' . hands, and the dictator to Ohio's Dcrn-
3 ocracy perhaps letls torrepondlnitly
lit encouraged. Nevertheless, there may
!j be a difference yet, o'j bet.

J&j WAS SHE tVENOALIZED 1
$ ' A cottage at Long Branch, on Hooper
r- avenue, was entered by burglars last
it night and robbed of a gold watch,
JpA twenty-live dollars In money, a lot of
ji silver and other articles. The Iad's
Bjir ' Jewelry was hidden In a trunk and was
!ff . Mrs. Qulnlan, the wife of the cottager,
kV' ' na'l what she supposes was a dream Pi
Ef the night. She saw a man with a r-
lijfj volver in his hand atanJIng by the bed-
Wi" fide, watching her husband, apparently
W ' while tho robbery was going on. Hut
jil', the dream passed away and she slept
jl soundly until morning.
tk The curious in such matters are now
j v spusillng over the question whether the
K lady was SvtnffaUcd by the burglar, or

whether In a sort of trance she really
saw the thieves at their work, and
Imagined It to be a dream. Bounds will
nsioclate themselves with the matter of
A dream and why not figures dimly seen J
In a half-wuklng condition?
I'crhapi It was fortunate for both Mrs.
Qulnlan and her husbani that she was
not more wide awake.
It li trusted that the Inquest over
the West Hroadway disaster will even
yet bring out some ont thing that was
done right about Ireland's fated building.
INDICT THEM ALL.
"The Kvjnlng- World" congratulates
Itself on tho progress of the Inquiry
Into the fall of the West Uroadway
death-trap. To Its determined demand
for Justice on every man responsible
for the cruel crime may Justly be at
tributed the prompt Issue of a warrant
for the arrest of John IS. Ireland, the
owner of the building, and this will
probably bring him to-day before tht
Coroner's Jury.
Assistant District-Attorney Mclntyre
expresses the opinion that Ireland can
be Indicted for manslaughter. He be
lieves that the contractor, Parker, can
be punished under the building laws,
but regrets to say that he thinks he
cannot be held for manslaughter. In
this we hope Mr. Mclntyre will find
himself mistaken. A more cruel and
unnecessary crime than the slaughter
of these poor victims of the Ireland
building cannot be conceived, and "Tha
Evening World" will not cease In its
demand for Justice until every person In
any way responsible for the deaths
and for the sorrow, suffering and
misery they htve occasioned, has been
punished.
China won't let America and England
Investigate the mussacre of tho mis
sionaries through their consular rep
resentatives. Thero would possibly be
an unpleasant period for the Celestial
Emplro If the two nations interested
should choose to press Investigation by
other means.
THX SENSATION OF THI HODS.
The arrival of Valkyrie III. tfcs been
the sensation of the hour, and, truth to
say, her appearance has not Increased
the confidence of the America Cup de
fenders. No one who looks at the English boat
can doubt her power and her speed.
Her lines are perfect. In size she ap
pears larger than Defender, and con
veys to the eye tho appearance of
greater strength. Hhe will evidently
carry a bigger spread of canvas than
thn American boat, and, while many ex
perts think she will havo to allow De
fender time, the loss will be much mora
than compensated by her gain In poner.
The crens of tho rival boats cheered
each other heartily yesterday when De
fender, In tow of her tender, went to
her mooring place Inside the Horseshoe
It was the first glimpse of each other
the great boats had enjoyed, and no one
could help wondering which would show
the other her stern In tho great contest.
Certain It Is that tho Defender people
are not discouraged and fully expect a
victory. Let us hope their expectations
will bo fulltlled.
Five hundred new parrots arrived In
town yesterday. They will soon' learn
to remark that the Hunday law will be
enforced, so long us It Is on the books.
It would ho mistaken patriotism to
wish that a sea serpont might get In
tho Vnlkyrio's path. A fair and square
tare for the Cup Is what we all want.
Tho Denver holocaust easily holds first
place among thu tragedies of jesterday.
And nobody tegrets that the position
was not wrested from it.
I Possibly the Investors thought those
Chicago bonds wcro based, as an issue,
on something akin to tho Windy City's
estimates of population.
Denver 1ms some prompt Justice to
mete out. Judging from the reports of
the causo of tho Quinry House horror.
How China does seem to loath tho
Idea of being on good terms with tho
rest of tho world.
Thanks to the Hrooklyns, there Is
yet an occasional exhibition of real base
ball In the Greater New York.
When Tobacco Trust stock goes down
It does something that the quality of
some of the Trust goods couldn't do.
What Is being dono about that cam
paign of education on the subject of
municipal home rule?
Getting yacht racing reports by bal
loon Involves a lofty Idea of Journalistic
enterprise.
Plain fishing may do at Gray Gables,
but what China needs Is more like a
whaling.
"The Valkyrie looks larger." nut after
the Cup races she should appear much
smaller.
The New Yorks ought to have respect
for the public If they have not for the
game.
We don't mind how good a boat
the Vigilant proves herself still to be.

"Signing Ills W1IU"
"OTHEIl I'EOI'LFS .MUNKY.'
A comedy conceived and born in tho
literary yet porcine ntmophere of Chl
eugo was floated on this good old hospi
table city ut Hoyt's Theatre Inst night,
and Its author came to town with It In
order to muke us feel happy by saying
nlco thlntrs to us and telling us how
fireat wo nil arc (we know thut), and
alio to seo how Now Yotk beh;te It
self under trying thermometrlc as well
us histrionic circumstances. Tho play
was "Other People's Money;" the author,
Edward Owlugs Tonne; the star, Mr.
Cluiilcn Dlckiioit at the beginning of the
programme, Mr. Dickson, merely, at the
end. Tho Chniles was loot en route.
Mr. Owlngs Towne started with a very
good Idea, which he Immediately pro
ceeded to mutilate with tho Armour
like porcine Telocity of the town from
which he halls. In fact, with this one
meagre, bright Idea he stuffed three
tulky acts as closely as though they
were sausuges, and at tha same tlmo he
showed us that he woe not at all on
original young man, for ho Blmply wal
lowed In the grooves that have been
doing duty since farce established Itself
In this lack-laughter world. If ho had
been a Parisian or n Londoner this
clinging to tradition might hae been
expected, but oh! Owlngs Towne, where
Is tho breadth and vastness of the wild,
Imaginative West In jour cheap and
humid little play?
We know from bitter experience that
In farco every old gentleman must bo
henpecked and must utter uncompli
mentary and therefore humorous tirades
against his wife. Wo have grown up
to that. Wo nil know thot eveiy man
with gray liulr must, on tho furclcal
stage, bo a tako at heart, chuck every
pretty girl under tho chin ami get him
self Into some sort of trouble. Wo havo
grown up to that. Wo ure ulso fiend
ishly nccustomed to tho funny servant,
eolored or otheiwlso wo have quite
grown up to that but (pleaso nolo the
but) we, In New York, nre not going to
stomach specialties Introduced In thrae
act comedies by lespectablo old gentle
men who ought to know beltei. Mr.
Dickson ulnued Iricvocably. He hang a
bnd song very badly, apropos of nothing
nt all a song that wouldn't havo gone
In Ked Hank, N. J. and he "spoke a
piece" nbout a bull-light, a la Lady
Guy Spanker, In Impassioned and fervor-drenched
tunes thut pioved to be
i simply ridiculous. He might havo re
cited "Curfew Shall Not Ring To
I Nlfcht" or "Tho Charge of tho Light
llrlgude," but ho didn't. He could have
, dune this with more, impunity.
, Mr. Towne's tdia the Idea that he
sausaged was t-Xcillcnt. He took the
uftrcenary Hutchinson Hopper, of the
Clucagj Ilouid of Tiade, and showed us
his clerk and his daughter. Hu h id be
trothed the lutter to a dleguttliig old
e realm e called Marei mis Clump, a
dealer In hogt ila.t for the poor hogs
but tho ouus" cltik .oved htr. M.uJory
w.ih a monej -grubbing young woman
tho bort of girl nu audience would tol
erateand sha tells Oliver that slu will
marry him if he can get a million. Ho
Informs old Hopper that ho Is In love
with a very rich girl, and Hopper, In
Ignorance us to the Identity of the girl,
advises him to go ahead, elope with her,
i.ilse a fantllv scandal In the newt-pipers
and disregard the feelings of her family,
who will then be glad enough to let htm
many her. The old man claims a com
mission of $50,iju for hid advice. Oliver
adopts It, runs away with Matjory, and
then appears at the parental residence.
This scene. In the third act. Is perhaps
the best thing In the comedy, but even
this has been nun red by Mr. Towne's
lack of refinement and tlnisse. The
suggestion, loudly uttere-d, that Oliver
h.u In the language of the police courts
"accomplished the lulu" of -Miss Hop
per lucks the feivor of spice", but
abounds in the gentle tonne. of mad,
III fact, It is about u t-kliush as one
of .Mariettas Clump's hoi; a would be if

Pattern In Coral Stlti'U.
A Irlmmlng that will bo found pretty
for the decoration of children's gar
ments, as well as for many other pur
poses. Is here pictured. It consists of a
row of coral-stitch, with small orna
ments on either side, the latter being
Intended to be worked In satln-stltch.
The chief art In working coral-stltch
JSrSlT,,
Najjaw. M. H
consists in keeping all tho stitches uni
form In Blxe. The position of the needle
and the manner In which It 13 to lie car
ried over the thread each time It Is Ins
seited In the work Is clearly shown In
the sketch.
Tills pattern Is jiarticularly effective
when worked In colored cotton, upon a
white material, especially If three dll
ferent shades ate used for the three I
petal-like ornaments, which are to be,
worked In a t.atlu stitch.
Lhnreoiil and Soda.
The modern housekeeper pins her
faith to charcoal nnd Eoda as Hummer
helps. Soda dissolved in boiling water
and poured Into the sink daily keep3 It
clan and wholesome. Charcoal 1 tpt
In the refrigerator in a small taucer
helps to keep meat and butter un
tainted. It Is an admirable kite! en
disinfectant and cannot be too freely I
used. A tin cup filled with vinegar .ind
placed on the back of the stovo will
prevent the spread of cooking odors
throughout the house.
Steam iind Chiffon.
Steam is a great ally of the would-bo
thrifty woman. A chiffon drees that
has become mussed can be freshened to
look as good as new unless torn by
steaming It over a large volume of
steam such as a wide-mouthed boiler
affords. Veils that are wrlnkl.'d can
be smoothed out better by steaming
than by Ironlnn them. The moisture
as soon as evaporated has the effect
not only of taking out the wrinkles but
of giving some life to the net Ironing
destroys the "life" of silk or net.

Another Man Looklnar for a Wife.
To tha Edltort
la Juns I had tha pleasure ot spending rt
of my vacation Iq your city and was very much
pleased with my short sojourn. I alto visited
the Pulitzer Building, which was to me a great
tight Now. air. I am In eeaxch of a wife, and
am willing to take de.perate chancej to secure a
good and true las.le. I regret that I did not
have an opportunity of becoming acquainted with
some ot jour lassies when In .New York, but my
time waa so short. Can you hand thla to one
of your best reporters and recommend him to
look up a nice lady and have her write to me
all about herself? My description Is as follows

because my own acquaintance among the fair
tea la to limited I want a eood-natured lals'e;
she aeed not be "Just so." but I would like
her to be honest and frank and a good houso
kieper. I am not particular aa to her ago, nor
appearance; neither do I look for wealth,, but
I would not tumplaln If she had a little.

The Ductility of Smoke.
To tht Editor:
Apropos to tht amokt topic dltcuaatd In "Tha
Evening World" to show the denseneas and
ductility ot smoke let me state an ocean Inci
dent about thla exhalation from a burning sub
stance From a point on the horlson straight
acroaa on the sea level to an opposite point of
the circle Is, they say, about thirty miles
(Julged ao on a ateamer'a quarterdeck). On a
calm day on the ocean I have frequently paaaed
a a'.eamer In the offing whose smoke aa It
poured from the funnel depleted a long black
line across the sky for at least twenty-fire miles.
Now, why waa not thla black line toon broken
or dispersed, fot it appeared very distinct
against the sky even at a point twenty-five
miles behind the steamer. All deep-water
sailors will corroborate this. COLE nil.
