fces-Spiritual Marriage.
According to heathen belief the devils OF
Chinese mythology begin their periodic visits
to this world to-day. They remain here for
seven days They bring with them the rela-
tives in spirit form, of the living, and e1-
pect good treatment from the latter. The
Chinese residents of Pittsburg have made all
arrangements to give their spiritual guests
warm greeting At their homes or in public
places they Will offer up burnt sacrifices, con-
sistin2 of chickens, ducks, pork, fruits, sugar,
nuts. eggs and so forth The Chinese devils
are usually accredited with being very smart.
and good judges of what constitutes good
sacrifice, and if they discover that mortals
are not offering up the first and best fruits of
the lal /, they are apt to act as tormenting as
only devils can.
The devils come upon the earth from the
first to the seventh days of every seventh
Chinese month They are supposed to wear
the same kind of clothing as is worn by living
Cinnamon, and they depend upon their
periodic visits to Garth to get supplied with
the proper outfit Consequently this week,
besides the sacrifice of the articles above
mentioned, there will be a general offering
up Ol u certain kliltl VI HloHty "hltH ID ouP-
posed to pass as legal tender in the spiritual
world This takes the form of paper richly
| decorated with gold leaf and Chinese inscrip-
tionS, and is about five inches long and wide.
| The clothing burned is also richly decorated
| with many colors These sacrifices are usu-
| ally burned at night on the seven days of the
| devils visit.
| The Chinese have other serious beliefs about
| the spiritual world. Th5y think that as soon
| as a person dies he goes at once to the next
| world There the immortals have laws, poll

Not Submit TO 1t.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 21.-Evidence is
cropping out all over the state that the saloon
interest in Ohio will not submit to the Dow
liquor law, pronounced constitutional by the
supreme court few days since, without an
other show of resistance to the collection of
the tax. Prominent saloon men in this city,
Cincinnati, and other places have evolved
a plan TO bring a test case in the United
States court, and that temporary injunctions
be taken out restraining the foreclosure and
sale of effects of delinqucnts. The scheme
seems to be for saloonkeeper who lives in
Newport. Ky, to bring the action. II this is
unsuccessful the matter will be carried into
the state campaign next fall. 1t is said that
the Ohio Liquor league will raise fund OF
$50, 900 to defeat Judges Spear and Dick.
man, who will be candidates for reelection
to the supreme bench. If the agitation is
persisted in, and the saloon people fail to
acquiesce quietly i'll the Dow law, it Is be-
heved in political circles that the legislature
at its ensuing session will amend the enact
ment by making the tax so high that every
doggery in the state will be closed up.
