PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Someone asked James Pierson, of Waterloo, N. Y., where he'd be a hundred years hence, and he went right off and hung himself.

A one-armed man in Salem, Ore., lately applied for a divorce on the ground that the hand he had given his wife in marriage was lost, and the contract was therefore void.

A crank writes to the Omaha Bee this novel argument: "The theory that the majority must rule would make hell right and heaven wrong, for you all know that the majority go to the former place."

A Kentucky girl snapped a kernel of corn at her lover in fun and put out his right eye. He looked so bad after that that she refused to marry him, and he is filling up a whole corn crib to throw at her.

A Pittsburgh man rose up and flung a potato at a dude who had an opera-glass leveled on his wife, and 400 people rose up and applauded the act. The "potato opera pooket" will be a fashionable article this winter.

A Missouri tramp ought to have known better than to "sass" a woman who was rolling out pie crust, but he didn't, and she brought him a clip with the rollingpin which rendered him unconsoious for seven hours.

The oaptain of an Oswego schooner tossed a dog overboard to see how far he could swim, and the canine reached the shore eleven miles off. Now let some one try the same thing on the oaptain, but make it about fifteen miles.

A. New York State judge who had a kissing case before him said: "There is no objection, so far as I can see, to a man kissing a girl if she is willing. But you must not do it against her will. She has aright to object, and if she does you mustn't do it. Be sure she is willing before you try." If she objeots, then take some girl who won't.

There are plenty of people In' this country who demonstrate by their lives that it is perfectly easy to be contented and happy without being rich. That is one of the prime lessons that the rising generation ought to learn. The vulgar worship of wealth is not only unchristian, but it leads backward to barbarism. With mammon for a god, the American people will grow to be hard, uncomfortable, unhappy, disagreeable, ignorant, ugly, cruel, "drowned in destruction and perdition."

Superstitious people may be interested to learn that another person connected with the trial of Charles J. Guiteau, is dead. John Palmer, of Saratoga, N. Y., formerly proprietor of the Circular street house in that place, died on Monday. He was a witness against Guiteau at the famous trial. Guiteau had once cheated Mr. Palmer out of aboard bill. At the time of the trial Mr. Palmer was in good health and in comfortable circumstances financially. Soon after he began to decline in health and lost a great deal of money, which he never recovered.

Facts!

For the Consideration of Patrons Chinese Laundry*.

Some of the soundest argument yet advanced on the subject of Chinese laundrys and the reasons why patrons thereof should hesitate to patronize a class of people that conflicts with American labor, are here given frran interview with a prominent laundry man of this city. The facts set forth by the laundryman are indisputable. Having noticed that Chinese laundrys in this city are on the increase and knowing that there are good steam laundrys, besides many good wash momen who take in washing, the writer started out for information on the subject. On talking the matter over with the leading laundry man the first question asked him was: "Are Chinese lower in their prices than the steam laundrys and if so how is it that they can do work cheaper by hand than you can with your improved machinery?" "Well, he replied, "to give you a satisfactory answer to that question it will be necessary for you to go through the laundry with me, and the question may not seem so difficult to you. You see," said the laundryman, "a score of hands employed in the various departments, some washing some starching, some ironing, while others are opening goods, distributing them and attending to the various duties assigned them. Now, all that you see here are depending on this industry for their living. Some of them have families to support, some,|xave no father and perhaps are supporting an invalid brother or sister, while,others have no home at all and are thus endeavoring to support themselves. We pay out a large amount of money each week to our ijelp. The Chinese do net, like other foreigners, come here to find homes for themselves and families and help build up our industries, but they come here to get and hoard money. They pay no tax, they live on a few pounds of rice a week, they break our laws by working all day on Sunday, they give no employment whatever to others unless of their own kind, they come here with the intention of getting our money and when they get it they keep it, and when they have accumulated a thousand dollars or more they skip back to China, taking our money with them and the Americans see that money no more. They render no good whatever to the community by their existence among us, while on the other hand we try to be of benefit to the community in which we live. We employ a large number of laborers that spend their earnings at home we pay taxes, and besides this I will name over a few of the expenses connected with our institution, so that you can see that the money intrusted to our care is pretty well circulated and not hoarded. First oomes our rent, gas and water bills, which are not very light then there «*e starch bills, soap bill*, paper bills, wax bills, insurance bills, coal bills, wood bills, repairing bills, bills for horse shoeing, bills for horse feed, bills for muslin for our ironing machines, advertising bills, and a thousand and one other bills too numerous to mention. "Now, as you say, we have the latest improved machinery, but you must remember that only a small part of the work is done by machinery. We employ a large number of hands who are depending on this industry for their living. How would you like to see these employes, men and women, girls and boys, brought down to a level with Chinese labor and live on what a turkey would starve to death on? We are laundering shirts at 10c each and collars and cuflfe at 24c per dozen, and other work in proportion. Now to do laundry work oheaper than that it will be necessary for us to either live as the Chinese do, in filth and on rice, or bring our labor down to a level with Chinese labor. We will not advocate any such movement, but will try to give our customers the worth of their money in giving them a superior quality of laundry work. 'The quality of laundry work turned out by the Chinese is far inferior to work done in steam laundrys, where they have the facilities for turning oat clean work, putting on either a high or medium gloss or a domestic finish if desired, without covering the oufb and collars with a solution of spit and saliva. You can tell a man who has his collars and cuflh laundried by the Chinese half a block away. They are always yellow and streaked. Some patronize a Chinese laundry out of sympathy others to avoid paying a bill they have contracted at the steam laundry but the majority patronise them because their clothes are too dirty from filth or disease to take either awash woman or a white laundry. At Chinese laundrys the goods are never graded the dirty, diseased, clean, etc., are all washed together while you see here we separate the clean from those badly soiled and each grade Is kept by themselves. Few if any of the better class patronise the Chinese any more, Mid as the people get educated to wearing fine laundried work will cease altogether."
