JUSTICE OF PEACE MARRIES CHINESE The . Ban - Francisco fire upset the matrimonial plans of Hong! YIng and Ling Sing and ataved off their mar rlago more than two years. But neither fate, earthquakes nor-fires could keep them, apart always, and yesterday they appeared before Justice Bell In hla courtroom and aaked him to 'tie the nuptial knot. The Justice compiled and now the almond-eyed damsel la Mrs. .. Hnnr Ylnr. .Both of them were. 'decked out In their best the groom with his queue .. braided and decorated with black and white ribbons; the bride with all the glittering: ornaments, of the women of her race in her hair. Hong Ting car ' rled a handful of red papers, aa did his accompanying' friends, and these wero scattered along tho streets to ward off any unpropltlous influences which might in future years work harm to tho young couple. This Is one of tho first Instances In Portland of a Chinese couple being married according to me American cus tom, but this pair was very . Insistent on this point. However, they will bo , married again tonight according to the Chinese rasnion, and unj ing wui Jump .' over fire. , pick up ducks' eggs : and go through all the . rest of the oriental program by which a bride slg- , nines her future fealty and obedience. Tomorrow (Saturday) will positively be last day for discount' on west aide gas bills. Don't forget to read Gas Tips.1 Tha, liquor reform ordinance was more swooping than I at first thought I 'opposed the measure up to tho last moment, when I waa only Induced to vote for It by tho protestations of Mrs. Baldwin, who Insisted that It would be a- great mora purifier. I think many of the north end saloons will ba driven out of business. . . "I did not have any Idea that whole- aale liquor dealers would ba discrimi nated against in favor of drug stores and groceries, and Mr. Kellaher, who owna a grocery atora, voted against the ordinance. The foregoing la a statement by Dr. W. I. Cottel In anawer to a Query from a-Journal reporter aa to hla reasons for supporting tho ordinance. Considerable dlasatlafactlon and un favorable comment has been aroused by the paaaage of the new law, among the wholesale liquor hounes. By the terms of the ordinance they are prohibited rrom selling intoxicants in any rorm to women, although moat of them deal only In packaga goods. A drug store or frocery next door, however, la exempted rom tho provisions of tho measure and may sell ad libitum to women. This, tho wholesalers contend, la unfair. Mayor Liana aald that when he signed tho ordinance he did not know that any discrimination was made, and that if there waa any injustice done to anybody 11 auuma oa onangea. I III FOOT IN STREET CROWD Usually the Socialist orators and their listeners who congregate nightly at the corner of Fourth and Alder streets to discuss tho burning questions of the day and .condemn the law of things as they are, do nothing worse than dls charge heated language and burning words Into tho night atmosphere, but last night one of them got in earnest and discharged a revolver. As a re sult William Borstel, a bystander who naa stopped ror a minute to imbibe a slice of oratory, waa taken to the Good Samaritan hospital with a 22-callber bullet in his foot. Tho man who did the ' shootlnBT escated In tho confusion and It la not known who la guilty. The wound is not serious. Borstel la a baker, llvlna- at 237 Mill street. He was passing along Fourth street about 11 o'clock last night when his attention was attracted by tha noise of an argument and he stooped to listen. me next tiling ne Knew someone had discharged a pistol and he felt a pain in his root. The crowd Immediately dispersed. Borstel says all the men in uie crowd were strang ers to mm and ne aoes not believe ne could identify any or them. A fireman, groping through a burnlnc building at. Summit, N. J., found what he thought was a package of clothing, but which proved to be a baby forrot- ten when the Inmates rushed from -the house.

"And further more, they tell me that you can oome pretty near getting any kind of game at this season of the year by simply ltoklng wise. Of course, I'm not oay ' Ing anything, about Just where these Jilaces are located, but If a man was ooking for a drink of whiskey he wouldn't go to a dry goods store, would heT No, he would not. "And you can get pheasants baked or cooked up nice and brown or any old way you want them. Of course, you might have to hand the man behind tho apron a nickel or a dime and a wink, all the time looking wise, you know; but eventually you'll come mighty near I getting what you want, whether It be a bird, a fish or possibly a steak of veni son. , , i. "After you look wise awhile, the waiter will whisper something. Wheth er you understand or not Just nod your head. Then say, right out loud If there is no one around, just what you want And you'll get It ' . "Of course the bird or tho trout or the steak, or whatever It is being sold Illegally, might not be as fresh as vou are accustomed to, but it will be what you oraerea' ana no Question aoout it Where do they get them? That Isn't what I'm talking about. I'm simply telling you where you can get game If you are a sport And have that certain wise look about Vou and an aonetlte for something from the woods or fields." Twenty-four wooers of the Ooddess Fortune, whose Chinese name Is Fan tan, were gathered in last night short ly after 11 o'clock by Sergeants Goltx and Smith when the officers raided a Joint at 131 Second street. Evidence in pienty was aiso secured. Tho gamblers were playing in a little room Buuui iuxxz reel, ana were so m- leni on tneir game that they were caught off their guard. The lookout was evidently cat-naDDlna- and' fat led to warn them of the approach of the omcera, wno rusnea me rront entrance and cornered the whole crowd. The Chinese were released on the depositing of 1.200 bail money by the proprietor. $100.00 UWU9 Would gladly be paid for a cure by many people, who are crippled with rheumatism yet if they only knew It they can be cured by a few bottles of Ballard's Snow Liniment, and the price Is only 26c, 60c and $1.09 per bottle.
