AOueer Chinese Funeral.

At the funeral of Chinaman in
Philadelphia some queer ceremonies
were observed. The deceased was
clothed in garments OF the lightest text
ure, so that he might not suffer from
the heat in his new abode. He wore a
straw hat, and in one hand he held a
fan. The corpse Of Chinaman is al
ways provided with money to pay its ex-
penses to the unknown country. One OF
the mourners dropped between Hong's
teeth twenty-five cent piece, and about
a score OF the others came forward with
their quarter contributions. The un-
dertaker could not get all OF them in
the dead Chlnaman's mouth, and half
of the silver pieces were placed in his
pocket. The ceremonies finished, the
coffin was closed, and over the top Of it
were placed strips of red, white and
black bunting, the colors OF the Sing

1.-THE committee find that the miners
wages have been reduced In the last seven
years from Sl.05 per ton to S5 cents, and If
the last proposed reduction is put in forco
the total decrease in wages per ton will be 30
cents within the period named, hence il be-
came notorious before the troubles which
took place OH May last that the miners did
not receive sufficient pay, even among the
most industrious and prudent, to properly
support their wives and children. An effort
has been made to settle the difficulty by ar
bitration, but will be remembered this APP
piled only to one mine in Streator. After
nearly three weeks deliberation the major
ity of the miners decided that the miners
must return to work at 75l4 cents per ton.
which Is certainly below proper living
wages The committee have reason to be-
lieve the decision will not be satisfactory to
the miners, and having done all in its power
to relieve their sufferings, take the liberty
now to encourage further arbitration and
this is done in the hope that at least q CON-
promise may be effected on a basis Of rs
cents per ton, which, we feel, ought to be the
minimum wages paid. To this end the COM
mittee has sent the following telegram to
w. l.. Scott, Erie, Pa, and Francis Bartlett,
Boston, Mass:
''Sir The undersigned, acting for the
Chicago Citizens Miners Relief committee,
which, during the last four weeks. has col
lected and sent 400 tons of food to the destl-

you will not suggest some way of arbitration
or otherwise to settle the difficulty and
put your men back in the shafts.

proposition you may offer.

meanwhile the miners and their families
are starving and further relief must be sent
them; hence the committee will continue the
work of gathering supplies and sending them
to tho destitute. Therefore the generous
public are asked to continue their donations.

Evanston, when two men, claiming 70
be detectives accosted him, say
Ing there was man at the
Avenue house In Evanston who very much
desired TO see him. Against his will the bill
alleges, Mitchell was conducted to that place,
where he met one McCord, who informed
him that he would be compelled to return
with the party TO Chicago and marry
woman named Anna l.. Calls. To this prop
osition, 1t Is claimed, the plaintiff objected
strenuously, but in vain. The detectives

returned to Chicago that same day with Nc
Cord and the detectives. He attempted to
escape after leaving the train, but they felled
him and conducted him by force to the Clif-

cure marriage license and minister. The
woman was prouuht IN, ana LOT tne nrsc
time, it is said, the plaintiff first
set eyes upon her. He ran to the
door to escape and found the other
detective on guard. Presently the two who
left returned with the minister and the
license. and the ceremony, IL is charged, was
performed against Mitchelrs will and in
spite of his protestations. Then he was per
mitted to depart, which he did, never seeing
the woman afterward. An affidavit accom-
panymg the bill gives the womau's residence
as Martlnsville, Ind. The prayer Of the bill
