The Old Year Out, the New Year In.

LILO OAu Year Out, the New Year In.
The social gathering which occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. o. P. M. Jamison
Monday evening proved a delightful oc-
casion. The invited guests were Mr.. and
Mrs. Ex-Governor Pierce, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes, Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wheelock, Mr.. and Mrs. Whitford, Mr..
and Mrs: Auditor Ward, Rev. and Mrs.

Williams.
The time was passed in social inter-
course, Mrs. Jamison also adding to the
pleasure of her friends by singing two
beautiful solos, until refreshments were
served. Upon each plate was found card
containing an original and most appropriate
New Years gr. eting. A charming sur
prise which all appreciated. AS the hands
upon the dial marked the hour OF II, there
followed the mutual expressions of good
wishes for the coming year. After the
new year had entered an hour upon Its
course, the company departed, wishing
their host and hostess much happiness for
all their years.

Burial of w. B. Bell.
TFrom Thursdays Daily.l

The remains of w. B. Bell arrived on
yesterday mornings tram and the funeral
ceremonies were held in the EPISCOPAL
church at 1:S0 yesterday afternoon. The
remains were accompanied to this point by
Mrs. Bell and children. Mrs. Claussen and
Mr. and Mrs. Russell of ST. Paul, brother
ln-laW and sister of the deceased. The
services, which were wholly masonic, were
conducted by Worshipful Master John
Davidson of the Bismarck lodge who
read the beautiful burial service of the
order with touching eloquence. This SER
vice is one of the most magnificent of the
order and many were the tear-stained
cheeks while the Blsmarckers listened to
the last sad words over the remains of their
old-time friend and companion. The Ban
ner hook and ladder company of which the
deceased was foreman up to the time OF
his death attended in body and eyery
company in the department was repre-
sented by uniformed men. The masons
also attended in body and the church was
crowded beyond its capacity.
Ihe closing ceremonies at the grave were
even more affecting than those at the
church.. The insignia of the order were
cropped into the grave with appropriate
reference to their significance.
w. b. Bell was a resident of Bismarck so
many years and his career was SO com
pletely interviewer with the interests and
history of the city and county that every
Bismarcker feels that by his death a friend
and dear companion has been called from
earth. The grief-stricken family have the
profound sympathy Of the community
which has lost staunch friend and pop-
ular pioneer.

"lke" Will Fight.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: My attention has
been called to an article iii Sundays edi
tlon of the TRIBUNE signed by A. E. Lucas,
stating he had Withdrawn from the fight
with me. In justice to myself and hackers
would like to state there was no fight to
withdraw from as Lucas was afraid to
sign articles or even cover the forfeit my
backer had placed in the hands OF the stake
holder. The first was aware that Lucas
desired to fight me was through letter di-
rected to Mr.. Ed. Patterson, which is, YER
batim, as follows:

By return mail this letter was answered
me to fight Mr.. Lucas twenty rounds for
$50 side, and that $40 had heen p aced as
q forfeit in the hands of the stake holder
Lucas answered he would cover the for
felt when he came in but would fight only
six rounds. On the 28th of December,

which is being seriously felt, and that slml-
lar PRAYERS will be offered at the same time
at other state temples bv mobiles, princes and
other members of the imperial nobility. An
extract of few DAYS later shows that these
prayers were not in vain, for the Gazette
states "that the Emperor has sent out de-
cree expressing his profound gratitude for
the grateful snow which has fallen to the
depth OF five inches alter his prayers"
The same paper states that he proposes to go
that day to offer sacrifices To the god Of lit
erature, and that be will, few days later,
offer sacrifices to the god of war. From the
issue of the 31st of last January see that
he then conducted the spring sacrifices, and
on the 18th of last April decree is pub
lished stating that the Emperor will go out
at 4:45 A. NJ. to visit the Temple of Agri-
culture and to go through the ceremony OF
blowing. Such extracts are published daily
in the Peking Gazette. They show how
the Emperor of China is the god, saint and
King OF his people.
SOCIETY MENTION.
Other extracts give some idea of his pal
ace life, and some show that though infalli-
bic he is not immortal. Here is one stating
that 20 roots of gingseng, which is the cure
all OF Chlna, were sent 10 tne Emperor from
the Governor OF Kirin. 1t gives their weight
at nine and one-half ounces and their value
at about s., 800 This is considerable over
$500 an ounce. Gingseng is worth in
America, 1 am told, about 60 cents pound,
but in China it brings more than its weight
in gold. The full story of the Emperor's
coming marriage may be read in this
Gazette, and the condition of his wardrobe
NAV be told by velvets and other things
which are forwarded to the palace. 1t gives
the full record of all the receipts of the Gov
ernment, and / see that Offices are sometimes
sold, and that five literary degrees lately
went for about 81, 600.
The charities OF the Empire are also re-
ported, and the Celestial heart grows as
tender sometimes as does that of the Chris
tian. On the I'd of May, 1887, 1 see that Ii
Huug Chang has given 1S,000,000 pounds
of rice and more than 100000 to the
sufferers of a famine in his Province, and
that on the 14th of June S15,0 900 were col
lected for the poor in the Canton Province,
and that literary graduate there has lately
donated 1900 teals to found charitable
school.

numerous and the horrors Of purgatory may

and the two were chained together Upon
these boards were pasted bills containing
Chinese characters showing that they had
been guilty of some petty offense and we're
doomed to wear these boards for weeks.

SEVERE EXAMINATIONS.

students were examined in it few weeks

about 200, and there were 40 deaths during
the three days test. The students were all
examined as to their clothes and persons, to
see whether they had any notes concealed
upon them, and such as were found guilty
were prohibited from future examinations,
and were punished by the cangue in the
same way as for stealing. Their fathers and
tutors were also punished. I visited these

SYNOPSIS or PRECEDING CHAPTERS.

The story opens with resume Of the history
of the mysterious Buried River, flowing be-
meath the Rocky Mountains and deep down In
the bowels Of the earth, the bed Of which is
paved with virgin gold. John Gray, the son of
an American army chaplain killed in battle,
goes 10 Rome to study painting. There he
meets wealthy American who Is dying Of con-
sumption, and who wishes his portrait painted
before he dies. Gray paints the picture, re-
cevIng in payment gold dust. The dying man
confdes to the artist that he has discovered the
Buried River, and that it Is the source of his
wealth. Before he can impart the secret of its
location beyond the fact that it is in California,
he dies. After an unavailing search among
Spanish records for further information, Gray
starts for California to continue bis search. At
Mt Diablo he takes possession of a ruined hut,
and there he meets Farla, the daughter of the
owner of the land. The girl, who believes he
is surveyor who is seeking TO dispossess her
father, warns him to leave or he will be killed.
They argue the question for some time, when
the girl discovers that she already loves the
artist. Gray is introduced to Farla's sister
Sanello, who has an aristocratic lover. The
artist, the girls and their father sail down San
Francisco Bay. Farla unaccountably refuses
to return with the party. When the others
reach home they find that Sanello's lover has
deserted her. Gray discovers the location of
the haunted well, which is believed to connect
with the Buried River.

A ROMANCE OF CALIFORNIA.
JOAQUIN MILLER.

A pang, sharp pain almost shot through
his heart as he fastened out and down the
steep declivity into the dense thieket and
thought OF Farla away out on her preeipi-
tnus rock in the sea. She had been good TO
him. And now that she was absent from
her temple he was about to enter it and
piage it Of her secret; plunder her house
and she away from home; possibly in peril.
Passing around by blind path through
tangle of musk that made the air heavy
with perfume in the dew, he came suddenly
to deep ravine flowing 10 the west. A
dense tangle Of ehsparral and all sorts of
overhanging boughs and briers seemed to bar
his way here; but throwing himself on his
hands and knees he was soon able 10 rise
and walk erect in the moist gravel bed OF
the little blind stream. He advanced but
few PAGES, for all this.little dingle Of dense
growth down here in the face of nature was
not bigger than a little green plot at best.
All about the hills hung over it, and men
and cattle passed daily to and fro and round
about; but clearly nothing ever entered here
save the silent pr1estess of the haunted In
diGn well; and even she came and went in
the most stealthy way.
The moon was at his back, but very low,
as he paused In the little open space in the
heart of the dense copse. But what bright
and shining fancy circle OF silver was that
before him and almost at his feet? It was
whittier, lighter tlfsn the moonlight and rose
almost to his waist. He put forth his hand
and touched the tall shaft of gold that shot
up through one OF the 10000 Gala lilies
that made up this glorious snow white
border about the mouth of the Indian well.
This calla lily should be called the Nile
lily. 1t is the same stately, luxuriant lily
that the red, rich waters of the Nile have
nourished since the morning stars sung to-
gether.
1t was in this same perfumed foliage that
the daughter of Pharoah found the holy
Moses cradled mid his lily leaves.
He now started little as he saw by the
dim light of the fading moon that he was
standing at the foot of three carefully
trimmed graves. What earthly purpose
could this strange girl have had in so care

NOVELTIES IN GLASS GOODS.
An Interesting Exhibit of Curious and Useful
Articles OF Tableware.

An Interesting Exhibit of Curious and Useful
Articles OF Tableware.
For several weeks a large number OF
drummers. representing various glass
houses in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia, have been quartered at the
Monongahela house. They come regularly
twice year, to exhibit their samples and
to meet customers from all parts of the
country. Agents of jobbing houses as far
west as San Francisco and as far east as
Halifax come to Pittsburg to inspect sam
Piles and lay in six months stock. The
drummers are naturally jolly set and they
have especial reasons to be good humored
at this time, for trade, they say, has been
brisk. One agent showed his order book to
a DISPATCH representative, and reeled off
long lists of figures in which such items as
100 barrels of goblets, % barrels of tum-
blers, 40 barrels, No." ETC., were offrequent
occurrence.
The goods, as arranged in the various sam
pie rooms, afford curious and interesting
sight. Seeing so great number of pieces
together, no two OF them alike, gives an ex-
cellent idea of the numerous and widely
different styles of glass goods manufactured
in this vicinity.
1.-The factories are all striving continually
for something new and original. STYLES
change in tableware as much as in other
goods. Occasionally some pattern catches
the popular taste and there is a steady sale
for that line of goods for years, but as a
general thing the demand is ion something
novel and unique. There are also goods
made especially for certain sections Of the
country. Here is line of goods, for ex-
ample, running from goblets down through
wine glasses, champagne glasses, claret and
cordial glasses, all similar in style. There
is little call for the glasses for cordials out
side New Orleans and other sections of the
South. Here also is a paper weight-a fat
pig on q pedestal-white, blue, red, or any
color preferred. These are made for the
pork towns Chicago, Cincinnati and Kan
sas City, and are bought by the pork dealers
as presents for their customers"
Another agent showed various styles of
flint glass goods, among them some decorated
with various ornamental colors Nothing
like it, he said, could be imported. A Tar
entum firm made an exhibit which con-
tained many decided novelties. Conspicu-
GUS among these were glass plates and fruit
dishes so closely resembling china that only
an expert could distinguish the difference.
These goods were translucent and orna-
mented with various designs, hand painted,
which gave them a rich and beautiful ap-
pearance. This is called the "opal" ware.
and its manufacture in this country is of
very recent date.
