CIGAB STOItnS OPKN ON SUNDAY.
The Law nnd Order Society Defied by a
Number of Dealers.
Yesterday was the flrst Sunday that sov sev sov
er.il of the koepors of cignr stores lu this
city openly delied the Law and Order so
ciety by selling cigars and tobacco ever
their counters the s.une as en woek days.
Next Sunday the balance of these who
weie accustomed te koeplng tlielr places
open ou Sunday will probably fellow suit.
When this society's agents served nntlce
en storekeepers that nil violations of law
would be prosecuted, stores were kept
closed all of Sundny, and it was witli great
dllllculty that a cigar could be procured.
A few days alter the nntlce cigars and
tobacco could be bought-en tlie quiet, nnd
as thore were no prosecutious, although it
was generally known that cigars could be
bought nt a number of places, ether dealers
concluded te soil openly and take the
chances of a prosecution.
Tlie Law and Order society received a
backset by Its net getting a detective ap
pointed by the court. When Sir.
Knullmau, tlie attorney for the
society, prosentod a petition te the
court for the appointment of James
E. Crawford te that position, he expected
plain sailing and that the appointment
would be made as a matter of course He
was greatly surprlsed when a remonstrance
was filed setting fourth that thore was no
necessity for a dotectivo of the Law and
Order society, thore belng plenty of police
olllceis te leek nfter violators of law.
Mr. Kautrinau was still greater surprlsed
that the anneintmet was net made nfter the
-argument of the matter. The court 10-
ser eu us decision, ami sun reserves it,
with it strong probability that it will net
be decided In tlie near future mid that when
tlie decision dees ceme down, it will net be
lavorable te Sir. Crawford'sasplratleus.
The cigar men, who wero spoken te
about their selling en Sunday, said they
did net think public opinion was In favor
of keeping cigar stoics closed en Sunday,
und-ns the Law and Order society Is with
out an elllcer le hunt up evidence, and no
body else Is interested oueuglitooutor suit,
they de net expect any suits against them.
If unyone entered suit they w III contest ns
long us possible lu the courts, and If they
must will finally pay the line imposed by
the law of 179151 and costs.

Compliments for Tather Gnnss.
Tlie Scrnnten Truth publishes a geed
picture of Father 11. G. Gauss, who wrote
music for their prize song " The Banner of
tlie Sea," and says of him. " Rev. II. G.
Gauss, who was born In Lancaster, Pa., Is
In his thirty-fourth year. Durlngthoyears
lSO'J-70-71, he studied thorough bass nnd
harmony with J. Slerritz Schwab, a pupil
of Franz Lachuer, of Munich, and he sub
sequently studled counterpoiiit, fugue
and plain chant with Rev. Ignatius
Trueg, an international authority ou
church music, who Is new nt Stouoy Steuoy Stouey
hurst, England. Fnther Gnnss' op
portunities for a thorough musical training
woreof the host and that he availed him him him
solfef thein Is evident. A year age a mass
which he composed was produeed for the
first tlme In the Catholic church at Liu
caster, Pa., the place of his birth, with
great success, nnd many ether of Ids com
positions are in demand among the levers
of high-class music. His setting of 'The
Banner of the Sea' spoaksfer itself, and its
merits have been admirably doscrlbed by
Mr. Harrison Millard in his adjudication.

False Story of Promitture Itnrlnl.
Frem the Philadelphia Ledger.
About a woel: age n telegram was pub
lished from Sfadlseu, Wis., giving a most
distressing account of n "prcmatiiie burial"

publisher of the Medical ana&'ur(cul Jlc Jlc
perter, he wrete te Sladlseu and gets the
answer back, "Thore Is net u word of truth

tirul Girl or Brooklyn.
Cbu Feng, the Chinese dude, the inter
preter and cashier of Kwong Hcng Leng A
Ce., 5 Mett atroet, New Yerk, also part
owners of the big Japanese stere at 813
Broadway, New Yerk, who was te start a
Chlnese bank a few weeks, has suddenly
disappeared for parU unknown with the
funds of the several Chinese firms amount
ing, se far as new known, te about 15,000.
It Is supposed that he is In Canada. Sev
eral American merchants are also victims,
and are mourning ever his disappearance.
Such was the immense confidence reposed
in him by the Chinese community, not
withstanding the fact that there was a suit
of 93.000 hanging ever him in the supreme
court for alleged oreoked nes in an opium
deal, that soveral merchants lent him large
sums of money aa he dosired.
A hurried examination or the bank ac
counts of aeveral Chinese Arms revealed
that the names of the following firms Imd
been forged for the sums set oppeslto their
names: Slal Ll We, 10 Bowery, $1,000;
Sinn Queng On, .12 Slett stroet, $1,000;
Kwong Heng Leng, S Slett atreet, $5,000 ;
Jess Heuse aaaoclatleu, 81,000; Sir. Levy,
ui iu imauiHiu equaru. $wv4
Other victims nre still being heard from,
as Chit Feng has many American frlends
nnu uusiness acquaintances who ae net vet
knew of his sudden departure He Ii.is
taken all tha cash that he could ratse upon
Ida business at 813 Broadway, of which
place he was only a part ewner, but In
which he has a controlling interest. Tlie
Kwong Heng Leng firm is managed by au
undo of bis, who Is the hoavleit loser of
all.
It is further alloged that Mr. Chu Feng,
the late Berry Wall of Chinatown, New
Yerk, has taken with him a very pretty
American girl, en whose account, It Is
alleged, many a fermer crookedness of Chu
Feng was traced. She was the prelty
daughter of a certaln Brooklyn real estate
man. Who they are or where they live no
Chinaman soemod te knew, but they all
declared that they have seen him with her
en many an occasion. She was also known
by several gentlemen In lloweit Hummel's
onlce, who are Feng's attorueyt in New
Yerk.
Chu Feng la only 27 year old, but Is of
mere than ordinary slie for a Chinaman.
He weighs 180 pounds, and Is full-faced.
Hodressod while hore In the height of
Amerlcan fashion. Ills Jet black hair Is
cut short, and has a feather odge. He
walks with a nodding forward movement,
as if he had a big corn en his tee, and
somceno had stepped en It with the gentle
ness of an olepbaut,
The usual Mongolian expression is
hardly observablo at a glance. but in a
moment's conversation you will at ence
knew he is a Chinaman.
Every business firm in Chinatown is lust
at present busily ongaged In trying te iln.l
out hew he stands with the bank, and
with Chu Feng. Slany confiding Chlnese
laundrymeii who appclned him tlie custo
dian et thelr wealth will net learn of tlielr
cashier's disappoarance until seme day
when they ceme down town. It will net
be at all surprising If thore is yet seme
threat cutting or opium swallowing among
the latter' s depositors, as most of them are
peer, hard-working men.
Sir. Chu Feng has been a fairly diligent
Sunday school scholar ever since his ap
pearance in New Yerk, seme six vcars;uge.
His ontlre croekednoss, including that
famous opium deal, is set down at $20,000
se far, but that amount will probably be
doubled te-day or Tuesday, when his
ethor victims arc heard from. As Jess Is
also a victim Included In this great swlndle,
Sir. Chu Feng'a cousin, Sir. Chu Yen
Knew, the high priest and Chlnese mayor
who icit uiH pest ei duty a low days since
for fear of impeachment for alleged com
plicatien wiiu ins otner cousins in the re re ro
cent fantan raid at Chinatown, has been
forced te oemo back te sottle Jess' affairs.

EDITOR GRADY DIES.
THE DISTINGUISHED CLORfilAN Sl'CCUMES
TO mCDlOMJ.
He Enter the Journalistic Arena Twen
ty Yeara Age, And Gains Fame Aa
n Writer nnd Orator.
Atlanta, Ge., Dec. 23 Henry W. Grady,
dled of pneumonia, at 3:40 o'clock, tills
morning.
Early last night he began te sink and at
midnight the family was summoned te
his bedside, and from that tlme his
life ebbed nway. It was ovldent
that death was only n qtiostlen
of a few hours at most. Around his bed
side wero members of his family. Doctors
proneuncod the end near aud the patient
was unconscious te the last, Gradually his
condition grew werse until death came
upon the scene.
With perhaps a slngle cxeoptleii, Heniy
Weed ten Grady was the best known editor
in the Southern states. He steed In the
front rank of American Inurnallaln. lit.
had been talked of as a nominee for the
vice presidency of the United Stales, yet he
never held a public olllce. Places of honor
and distinction wero frequently within his
easy reach, but he always turned his back
upon thorn.
" I would greatly 'prefer," he ence said,
te have my children romembor me as
havlnc helned te build a cltv tlinn tn Imvn
them able te say that their father sat In the
council of the nation or lived lu the execu
tive mansion of his state."
Editor Grady had in his veins sonie
bleed of the race of Curran nnd O'Cennell,
but he was born nt Athens, Ga., lu ISM.
His lather was a colonel in the Conredernto
army, and lest his life In batfle when his
son was only 14 yenrs old. Yeung Grady
was oducated at the University el Georgia,
In his native city, w here he graduated at
the head of his class, and his studies wero
afterwards continued at the University of
Virginia.
rromlhe first Sir. Grady was strongly
attaehed te journalism, and en leaving col cel col
lego, a lad of 10, he started a, dally paper
en his own account at Rome, Ge. 'lids
necessarily fulled, but noldlsceuragod, Sir.
Grady went te Atlanta and started Urst the
llerahi aud thou the, Cenner in opposition
tothe'Ceiufttuffou. V Alter the failure of
inose two vontures no became, lu 18S0, an
editorial wrlter ou the potier he had unsuc
cessfully competed with, at a salary of 8100
a month.
Later, when, by n successful speculation,
he acquired $30,000, he bought a minrter In
terest In the Constitution. This intorest,
new enormously enhanced, he still owns.
Sir. Grady and Captain Hewoll. the ethor
editor of the paper, have been clese friends
and have harmonized en nil ipiostleus dls
oussed In thelr paper except that of prohi
bition. Orndy favored the "dry" and
Hewell the ,fwet." The contributions of
eacn evor ins own name appeared In the
paper, and the contest excited unusual in
terest throughout Georgia.
The uovel procedure kept both editors
iiard nt work during the mcinornble cam
paign and brought many dollars Inte the
treasury or tlie Constitution. Porsennlly,
howevor, thore nover was any estnmgo estnmge estnmgo
ment between CapUHnwellaiid Sir. Gradv.
As an orator Mr. Gradv had also achieved
marked distinction and the nowspaerHaro
quoting yet from the ringing speech en the
nogre question which lie made at the re
cent dlnner of the Bosten Sterchants' club.
Sir. Grady's tiersenal iippoarnnce was
rather striking. He was a iniiii of mar mar
veleous personal maguetlsin. He train train
pled nny nnd nil conventionalities under
feet, nnd triumphed by the occentrlcltlesof
his genius. Ills lnlluonce with his follow fellow follew
citlrons was Irresistible Ne municipal
policy was ndopted in dlrect opposition te
his advice ; no local election was apt te
go contrary te his will, and every plan or
purpese for public geed wen his cordial
support. The )ower ' f his lnlluenca and
the inestimable bonelltH of his usefulness
wero by no means conllued te Atlanta, but
oxtendod with llke forceund value through
out the state of Goergla. He counted his
frlends by hosts and thoreforo was nble te
work out his purpeses In open dofinnce of
onumies.

A Man Who U Said te Have Plot ted th
Lawyer' Death.
WllkMbarre Dispatch te Philadelphia Times,
A local paper will publish te-morrow n
startling story rolntlve te the denlh of F. B.
Goweti. It Is based en the slaloment of an
ex-bodymaster of the Slellle Slsgulre or
ganization. He says that Gewon had been
pursued for years nnd that his death was
agreed upon many times, but assassination
could net be successfully carrled out until
the lawyer's late visit te Washington.
The murdorer was Geweu'a double and
rosemblcd him in many ways. He was of
the saine build and wero almost the snme
kind of clothing. If ence seen It would be
impossible te distinguish the men at n
future meeting. The murderer waited his
opportunity at Washington. He ent two
days at Wortnley's hotel, registering under
an assumed name.
On the Friday ovenlng when Gewen
went ou( hi double took his place at the
hetel, nnd, going te Gewen's room, awaited
the lattcr's return. When Sir. Gewen en en en
tored the stranger threw his overcoat evor
him, se as te deaden the sound, nnd shot
hlni dead. With the aid of a confederate
the murderer made his escnpe from the
room by w ey nrthe window.
It was net Mr. Gewen who bought the
rovelvor at the Washington store, but his
double The man who committed the
crime wnsnevern momberof the Stollle
Stugulre organization, but he held a deadly
hatred towards Sir. Gewen, whom he ac
cused of prosecuting murderers lu Ihoeeul
regions and hanging seme or his rolatlves
n he wero Intioceut.
OPINIONS OF TUB DHAIl MAN'S ItRLATIVES.
In explanation te his letter le tlie JXtnet
regarding the death of Franklin B. Gewon,
his brether, Henry G. Gewon, hail this te
ray in yosteruay's aevr verK Hun:
He had many cuemles, net only among
the Sf ollle Slagulres, whom he had brought
te Justice, but among flnanclers whose
paths he had crossed. Fer ninny years he
had received anonymous letters threatening
his lire. Instead tif belng alnrmud by them
he kept them In a scrap book for the
amiisomentnr his friends who saw humor
lu bad spoiling and werse chirography.
The saine fearlcss disposition, Indicated by
his regarding threats upon his lire as funny,
made him loave the doers of his room un
locked at night, evon when In n hetel. He
was consequently upon te attack at a time
when the attacking porseu could mest
easily escape.
Having Raid thus much lu favor of the
theory or murder, Sir. Gewon told why he
did net bollevo his brother had killed him
self. He could net have committed sulclde
In his right mind, Sir. Gewon said, for he
had overy thlftg te llve for, nnd that he was
net lusane was shown by the brilliant ar
gument he mude en theThursday previous
te his death. Sir. Gewen is net satlslled
with the Identification by the vendcr or Ids
brother as the purchaser or the rovelvor
found lu the room at the hetel, as he says
11 was based en a liowspaper cut, which
was net u geed likeness.
A near rolntlve said yesterday, In speak
ing of the brother's statements :
"It Is hard te think flint a man llke Sir.
Gewon could take his llfe, especially as he
had n porfect horror of sulcide. He has
many union lu my prosenco oxpressod him
self thoroughly en the subject of any one
taking their llfe. At the saine tlme I win win
net soe any reason for net believing It was
it suicide, us evon the nbsonce of powder
marks bus been oxplalned. A pewder Is
new made se line that the grains are en
tirely consumed In the discharge and can
leave no mark. The conclusion readied
that Sir. Gewon suddenly became Insane
and took his own life I bollevo te be the
cerrect one.
" Mrs. Gewen and his sisters rofkise te
believe that he met his death In any ethor
way than by murder, but the p reeds lack
ing. If he had been in Reading or Potts Petts Potts
vlile at the lime arguing a case then nene
of us would have doubted for an Instant
that he had been killed. But it Is hardly
likely that any of the cuemles he had
would have followed him te Washington
and attempted his llfe thore,"
