However, we can far better understand the attitude of those, who threw stones at the Police, than that of those well-dressed and apparently respect able people who attended the meeting osten sibly for the purpose of listening to the argu- ments of the Health Officer, but, really, to howl him down. We read that at the mere meation of his speech "violent protests were raised. Certain of the discontented residents in the infected neighbourhood pressed for ward and declaimed in the wildest excite ment, which was communicated like wildfire to the rest of the audience." While this was going on, continuous rushes were being made on the police guarding the doors. It should not be overlooked that at the special request of the Chinese gentry no armed police were on duty. Eventually, of course, not only armed police but even the Volunteers had to be called to reserve order. Now we

RELIGIOUS ORDERS AT MACAO,

HONGKONG PORTUGUESE TELEGRAM.

TO LISBON,

Yesterday we referred at some length to the question of expulsion of the religious orders tom Macan. We mentioned that a meeting would be held at the Clab"Lusitano in the evening to discuss the matter. The meeting was called by circular which was inaned broad cast ate in the afternoon and was signed by thren elderly and, respected members of the Portuguese community in Hongkong, 'viz, Mesis G. A „Yvanovich, A. M. Reza Pereira, and J. M. de Cauro Basto. The purport

the circular, walch was in Portuguese, WAY 10 the effect that the Copyegerr "ok the liberty to invite the members of the Portugueso community in Hoogkong to 'meet to day (18.8 inch), at 6 'clock is the evening, at the Club Lusitano, with the object of despaching u telegram to the Minister for The Colonies praying the retention of the roll gicus orders at Macao. The conyasers beg. ged to remind all the Portuguaza and each in particular how much they owed to the religions Associations whether for their instruction and their well-being, or for the Christian charity with which they shelter in their maternal arms the poor orphans,"

It has been said, probably truly, that ad vertisement is the soul of mod:ro business. Without it, in these days of competition. success is impossible, Business in the sense in which we use the word for the purposes of our present argument, that is, in connec tion with our consideration of advertisement, does not only mean trade. It means any kind of money getting. The other day, a repulsive abuse of the Courts of Justice was brought to light in the course of an action which had its origin in advertisement. The Press agent employed by a London theatre arranged with his manager to get úp, a REORGANIZATION, (F THE ARMY, "scene" during au interval between the Princes Thai Tão, Yu, Lang and Presilent acts. A gentleman accompanied to the Yin Chaog Lave decided to appoint a day to theatre two ladies wearing huge hats of the Anvite all the members of the Natioal Assembly prevailing disgusting fashion. They sat in and the Senate to the Minuitry, of War to di trost of him. During the interval, he, pre-cuss the question of the ra rganization' of the

military system. tending to be a stranger to them, protested against their bats, and requested them to re- nove them. They, as atranged, ""refused, and the scene began. The gentleman became indignant, the ladies demanded the protec tion of the manager, who, on being called, however, took the gentleman's part. Not only that, but--and here is the heart of the business he committed a technical assault on the ladies by gently pushing their shoulders when getting them out of the theatre. They then sued bim for assault, and he pleaded that as manager of the theatre it was his duty to his audience to put down the use of the troublesome and obstructive "matinde hay," and that in ejecting the re- calcitrant ladies he used no more force than was necessary or seemly. The magistrate decided in favour of the manager, and, of course, the theatre got a tremendous adver- lisement, and one of a most useful kind, for deu naturally prefer to go to a theatre where that horror, the Tashionable feminine hat, will not obstruct their view of the stage. This arrangement was, however, in our opinion, highly improper. To use the Court in such a manner is to make a mockery of the majesty of the Law. When, therefore one of the ladies and the Press agent sub sequently sued the theatre manager for a considerable sum of money, which, they alleged, he had promised them for their ser vices in getting up the whole business, the Judge very rightly dismissed the case on the ground that such misuse of His Majesty's Courts was contrary to public policy. This form of advertisement is most objectionable, as also is anything connected with religion. "Come and be shaved by. Barebones, the best Protestant in the East district of Liver- pool," is, for instance, an improper advertise. meat. When the late Oscar Wilde, not quite sure that his writings would obtain recogni. tion on their own merits, went to the theatre in a velvet coat and knee-breeches, wearing his hair long, and gazing ecstatically at a lify which he carried in his hand (or was it a green carnation ? he achieved fame immediately.

That is why we shall not men tion nunes in our reprobation and, indeed, condemnation of certain novelists who have been busy of late writing books of a peculiar sort, simply to get them banished from the libraries in England. This sends up their sale by the thousand. But this subject de mands further consideration on another. oc- casion. We refer to it now as an instance of the use of advertisement which amounts to an abuse of toleration, and contempt of public decency.
