A fight with spectacular features that fanned Chinatown into a fever of ex citement for ten minutes last night at 7:30 occurred in the Kum Sun Low restaurant at 61 Second street. It was all over the disputed payment for a plate of noodles, and resulted in the arrest of J. A. Hall, a brakeman on the O. R. & N. Railroad, and of William Porter, a cripple, from Lebanon, Or., temporarily residing at 238 Couch street. Hall was arrested charged with disorderly conduct, be cause he defended himself against four Chinese, one of whom was armed with a pole five or six feet long. Porter was charged with "vagrancy" because he explained to a small crowd of men gathered in front of the entrance to the I police station that Hall had been wrongfully attacked by the Chineee and frankly deplored his arrest. Appearing against Hall were Ah Lee and Lee Deep, two employes of the res taurant. Ah Lee looked as if he had butted his face into a stone wall and then tried the same stunt over again. Lee Deep also exhibited decorations of the same mournful character. These two men wanted to file Charges of aa sault against Hall, but were informed that they would have to get a warrant. Acting on their own Initiative, how ever, the police placed Hall in jail charged with disorderly conduct, and allowed the Chinese, who had apparent ly been the aggressors, to go.

The first ceremony was performed at once by Circuit Judge O'Day and the other waa pronounced later by a clergy- mThe bride is the daughter of Colonel Augustus H. Bainbrldge, a retired offi cer of the Regular Army. CURE FOR HUMAN ILLS Where the Emmanuel Idea Differs From Christian Science. Woman's Home Companion. Rev. Dr. Robert MacDonald tells how the church Is once more becom ng active in the cure of human ills. Through the "Emmanuel Movement," started at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Boston, Mass., and taken up by Dr. MacDonald in his own church in Brook lyn, N. Y.. the church is again saying, "Arise, take up thy bed and walk." "Ths complaint i going up from everywhere." says Dr. MacDonald. "that MADE RIGHT It Won the Banker. "At the age of seventeen I was thrown on my own resources," writes the cashier of a Western Bank, "and being low in finances I lived at a cheap boarding - house where they served black coffee three times a day. "At first my very nature rebelled, but I soon became accustomed to it, and after ,a while thought I could not get along without it. "I worked hard during each school term (I was attending college) and taught country school between times. "At the end of three years I had fin ished my course my nerves, too, and It went back to the farm to rest up. This did me some good but I kept on drink ing coffee, not realising that it caused my trouble, and later accepted a posi tion in a bank. "About this time I was married and my acquaintances called me 'Slim.' On the advice of a friend, my wife began to serve Postum and she made it right from the start (boiled it 15 minutes after boiling actually starts). I liked it and have used it exclusively for three years. I am no longer dubbed Slim, my weight has Increased 60 pounds and I have nerves to stand any strain without a flinch. And I have increased my salary and my shares of bank stock. 1 can work 15 hours a day, sleep soundly and get up feeling like a healthy boy." "There's a Sea son." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Kverr read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. Tney are Pennine, true, and full of human Interest. the church is losing its hold on prac tical men and women. The reason is not that the church is not faithful to its duty, but that the world has in creased its facilities to satisfy man. But here is a new way of reaching the man of the' world. His modern way of living, with all its hurry and worry, has gotten onto his nerves. He sleeps poorly, is depressed and melancholy, has nervous breakdowns, is dyspeptic and sluggish and miserable. The same man who will not listen to a purely spiritual appeal wants help and wants it badly. The church that can promise him health with which to do his work, wins him. His bodily pain is very real to him, for it is so much nearer than a cramped and dormant spirit of which he is not conscious. "Where does the Emmanuel Move ment differ from Christian Science? There can be said to be only one point of similarity. It is that both are de sirous of getting rid of disease. But they no sooner Join Issue than they disagree. The point of separation is in what constitutes curable and Incur able malady. The Emmanuel move ment treats only 'functional disorders of the nervous system." Christian Science does not distinguish between functional and organic diseases. Then, again, the Emmanuel movement works hand in hand with physicians, taking only such cases as they recommend, cases that are beyond the reach of drugs and the ordinary medical p.es-cription.

Catterlln & Co. have been engaged in the brokerage busi ness. In this city for several years, in the purchase and sale of bonds, indus trial and mining stocks, the develop ment of mines and the promotion of mining and Industrial companies. Mr. Catterlln, who has been long and favorably known in this city by his upright and square dealing with all with whom he comes in contact, has gained for his firm a clientele of satis fied investors whose number is legion. They have for a long time occupied a suite of elegant offices in the Ablng ton building, but the phenomenal growth of their business since the panic of last Fall has compelled them to seek more commodious and conven ient quarters. They have recently se cured and moved into the rooms for merly occupied by the banking firm of Hartman & Thompson on Stark street, in the Chamber of Commerce, where they will be pleased to welcome their former customers, and to serve new clients with their beet efforts. In order to accommodate their many clients who are heavily interested In land and city property, but whose busi ness they have been compelled hereto fore to decline, they have added a real estate department. In addition to a general real estate business they will make a specialty of purchasing large tracts of land and sub-dividing them Into five, ten and twenty-acre lota suit able for small homes. Mr. Catterlln's many clients, both lo cally and In the East, are endeavoring to persuade him to open a bank in the Arm s new Quarters, and have promised him a generous, hearty and substantial support In every way. He now has this matter under consideration, in addition to his already extensive other interests. We wish the firm, in its new home, the full measure of success to which it is entitled. f w ; I -ft v V. J. Catterlln.
