CHINESE CHRISTENING
A Peculiar Religious Ceremony Followed
by a Sumptuous Dinner.

A Peculiar Religious Ceremony Followed
by a Sumptuous Dinner.
On bed, spread with a spotless COW
ering of white, lay the child, the
tiniest, most fragile bit of bundle of
gaudy silk and olive-tinted cheeks.
About his neck hung string of gold
beads, there was band of gold about
his diminutive head, gold bracelets
encircled his small wrists, while two
ivory rings with gold fastenings were
clasped around his ankles, beneath
which were beautifully embroidered
shoes, which seemed to be no larger
than mans thumb. The guests
walked in silence before the bed, the
young heir blinking up at them with
all the wisdom of Confucius in his
face. When the last couple had filed
past the bed they gathered about the
center of the room and Win So, the
officiating priest picked up the bundle
of silk and carried it to place before
the guests. The mother stepped forth
and took the bundle in her
arms, while all those present
bowed low. AS yet no word had
been spoken by any one. Then the
priest bowed almost to the ground
three times, his face getting longer
and longer until he let out string of
Chinese words, first to the father and
then to the mother. This was to ask
them if they both wished their heir to
be named Mon Kee Sing. Both of them
nodded assent to this. The priest again
took the child and bowling three times
more, with him in his arms. pro
nounced his name. There had been
stationed in the room three Chinese
musicians, and as the last words fell
from the priests mouth sudden noise
of screeching, one-stringed violin and
two piercing wind instruments broke
out. This lasted only moment, how
ever, and there was no Chinese drum,
this being used especially at funerals.
When the hideous music had stopped
all fell to chattering like mad around
the father and mother. Then followed
a dinner which lasted for two hours.
The whole ceremony, including the
''name-feast, as it is called, required
trifle over three hours. IN. Y. Trib-
une.

The TransvaaI Republic.

Ten years hence tho fate of the
Beers will have been decided. En-
glishmen already talk of the annexa-
ton of the Transvaal Republic by the
Cape Colony, and in their dreams see
the union jack floating from the Cape
of Good Hope to the equator, and from
the Fuegos to the mouth of the Congo.
But the problem may be solved in a
very different, and, to an American, a
much more satisfactory manner. There
is no reason to suppose that the Eu-
ropean settlers in the Transvaal are
hostile to the present form of govern
ment Like most new communities
they are intensely Democratic, and
the probabilities rather point to
the establishment of a republic,
not upon the antique and semi-feudal
system of the Beers, but upon the
lines of the American constitution.
An Anglo-Saxon people, stiffened by
a strain of Boer tenacity, courage and
puritanism, living under free institu-
tons, and in a. country and continent
of vast possibilities, would be more
likely to annex Or absorb the monarch
ical colonies, and perhaps repeat in
Africa, upon a smaller scale and under
somewhat different conditions, the
history of the United States on the
American continent. Y. Sun.

Few Strenuous Protests Culled by The
| Detroit FREQ Press.
The last issue Of The Arizona Kicker con-
tains the following cheerful paragraphs:
! NOT SUCCEsS.-Last Saturday night
soon after II o'clock some gentleman whose
| identity Is unknown to US fired charge of
buckshot through the side window of our ed
itorial room directly at the spot where our
cot is usually placed. Had the cot been there
we should have been inquested on and buried
ere this. But the cot wasn't there We are
not purity, but we are no hayseed. We
haven't slept twice in the same spot for the
last twelve weeks. We have learned the
ways IF this community at considerable cost
and trouble and we don't propose to plant
ourselves as a midnight target
We feel sorry for the gent who wasted his
energies and ammunition. He doubtless went
away from the window feeling that he was
entitled to credit for doing a smart thing.
Come again, old chap.
CAN'T TELL YET.-The Boston Acme Opera
company is billed for two nights next week
at Carriers hall. This may be first class
combination, or it may be a snide show which
our people should give the cold shoulder No
tickets have been left at this office up to date,
and we shall not express our opinion in this
issue.
ERRATA.-We find we were in error last
week in regard to the shooting affray be-
tween the Hon. Bill Dakin and Col Jones.
We supposed at the time that Col Jones was
a regular subscriber to this paper, but look
through our list proves that we have never
had his name at all On the contrary, the
Hon. Dakin has subscribed for FIVE copies.
We were misinformed us to the following:
/. Dakin did not call Jones liar.
2. Dakin did not draw his gun first.
3. Jones did not offer to apologize
We were hasty in saying that Dakin ought
to swing from limb and that he had long
been terror to the town We found him to
be mild, courteous, genteel citizen, full Of
push and enterprise, and his presence is q
credit to the town. Col. Jones had better
travel for his health as soon as able, and in
case he finds town to suit him better he
should buy it and settle there.
Not THIS YEAR.-A correspondent who
signs himself up d. O." wants to know why
The Kicker doesn't pitch into the board of
aldermen for its corruption, and lie adds that
every mothers son of them could be sent to
prison for thief We don't doubt this asser-
ton in the least but we are not saying any
thing. We have the city printing this year at
gnu, iaI pfice' anu are uoI say Ing d WcIu
RETURNED. Jim Smith created quite
a sensation by descending from the stage as
it reached town last Friday evening We
had no sooner notified him that his subscrip-
ton to The Kicker had expired than he
handed us two big silver dollars for re-
newaL
The major has put in the past year in state
prison, having been sent there by mistake, as
his friends are convinced. He served his
term like man and has returned to the Boz
som of his family and society. He has cards
out for a ''high coffee" day after tomorrow,
and the elite will be there in legions.-De-
