A NOVEL SCENE.
Selecting the Consorts and Harem Beau
ties for the Emperor of China.

Selecting the Consorts and Harem Beau
ties for the Emperor of China.
On November 9Th appeared an edict
from. the empress announcing that Yeh-
hoh. na la, the daughters OF the Manchu
Brigadier. General kwei.siang younger
brother of the empress). had been selected
as the consort of the youthful emperor of
China, and that two girls, named Ta.ta.la,
daughter of Chang shu, u manchu vice.
president of the Pekin board, aged Is and
l3 years respectively, had been chosen for
the harem. The emperor's marriage will
take place, according to present arrange
ments, on the 23d of next February, time
which the Astronomical board has ascer.
tained, or at oil events has declared, to be
propitious.
The process Of selecting the emperor's
consort is interesting. After two inspect.
ions, at considerable intervals, the number
of candidates was reduced to thirty-one,
who are daughters of mandarins of above
the fourth rank and, of course, of Mane-
hu extraction. These thirty one young
ladies were conveyed in carts to the palace
on the night of the 9th ult,, or rather in
the early morning of the 2Sth, at 2 o'clock.
They entered by the Gate of the South
Sea-" which they crossed in six boats. and
were conducted to the palace. which they
reached at 3 A. NJ. A splendid banquet
was then spread before them, after which
they we're ushered into the presence of her
majesty, the empress dowager, by groups
of four and five. itmay interest the ladies
TO know that her majesty wore on one oc.
casion an apricot yellow silk long dress,
with black velvet jacket. Each girl
carried tablet bearing her name and
age, and also the name of her father,
banner. etc, which was presented to the
empress while the girl stood before her
After some interroQations. and in no few
cases even monitory words for having con-
tipued to shave the forehead Her riajes'
ty formed her opinion of the candidate,
which when unfavorable, was signited by
handing the girls tablets to one et the
unuchs with the order to present the re.
jected aspirant with roll of silk was then
taken back to her cart, never more to par.
ticipate in the Imperial matrimonial com-
petition.
The selection Of new empress intlicts q
serious burden on many poor men whose
daughters are eligible and must bs pre-.
sented, but who have little means to defray
the expenses incidental to journeying to
Pekin and frequent visits to the palace.
Most of them pray to be put out of their
misery at the first inspection, and those
who survive to the last and are then re.
jected are really to be pitied.-North

Even Mrs. Grant, the most modest of

A new labor union, which will COM
prise all the miners of the anthracite
region, has been started at Pittston. It
is proposed to organize labor exchange,
similar to the coal exchange, and when
difficulties arise both parties can meet
and discuss. The exchange will be COM
posed of three officers; general super
intendent, general secretary and grand
advisor. Franklin B. Gowen is named
for the latter place, with a salary of ten
thousand dollars year. The union will
also nominate legislature candidates to
be voted for in 1890. The most unique
thing about this union is the proposition
to make Gowen its advisor How a
man, who from the top of his head to
the sole of his foot and in every drop of
his blood is corporation lover, and
whose career in this county at least was
one long and bitter struggle to crush
labor unions can be found acceptable in
any position of such union is an enig-
ma that we can't solve. If the new
union with Gowen attachment takes a
hold among Schuylkill miners then we
shall be prepared to hail the dawn of
the millennium. Shenandoah Sentinel.

able more before tidewater navigation
closes. The demand for vessels to carry
coal Eastward is good, while vessels are
scarce, and, in consequence, the freight
rates have been again advanced. There
is still good demand for coal from the
West, both for shipment via lake and
rail and all rail routes, and this is likely
to continue for several weeks yet, until
lake navigation closes for the season. A
large part of the anthracite which was
stored at the receiving ports on the great
lakes early in the season has already
been distributed throughout the West
and this has enabled the shippers to
forward more coal. 1t is the opinion of
number of the most experienced opera
tors and shippers that from now on until
the end of the year the anthracite trade
will continue fairly active and in a
healthy state.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
October II, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 763, 1896 tons,
compared with S54 ,460 tons in the cores
ponding week last year, a decrease of
90,564 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1883
was 26, ,947 1857 tons, compared with 29,-
243, 729 tons for the same period last year,
a decrease Of 2,296, 1852 tons.-Ledger.

AT regular meeting of the Freeland
Game and Fish Protective Club, held at
the store of Hugh Malloy on Tuesday
evening, the following business was
transacted, with President Malloy in the
chair. Roll-call of officers all present;
minutes of previous meeting read and
approved. Committee on protection re-
ported having hired one watchman on
October 10. Watched one day at Scale
Siding, one at Tannery, two in the Obey

Yager. On Sunday, October 13, four
watchmen were on the hunting grounds,
and on Sunday, October 20, there were
one at each of the following places
Hilderbrands, Mt. Yager, Bradersville
and Tannery. The committee is of the
opinion that there has been no rabbits
killed yet, and they are determined to
protect them until November L.
The president called the attention of
the club to certain reports in regard to
hunters purchasing ferrets to be used
this coming season in hunting rabbits
On motion the club ordered that re-
ward of $40 be paid to any person giving
information that will lead to the arrest
and conviction of any person or persons
using ferret in killing or catching rab-
bits during this season.
The president reported the following
amounts collected since last meeting :
John Scheidy, $l.00; George McGee,
$l.00; Calvin Waldren, so cents; Oscar
Fenstermacher, so cents.
On motion the chair appointed John
Burton, Geo. Falze and Jos. p. Mcdonald
as committee to procure teams to con-
vey watchmen to and from the hunting
grounds.
The secretary was instructed to send
a copy of the minutes of this meeting to
the papers of this vicinity. No other
business on hand the club adjourned to
meet at the call of the president.
BERNARD MCLAUGHLIN, Sec'y.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1889-10-24

Trouble has been brewing in the
Polish Church at Plymouth for some
time past. The congregation is the
largest of the Polish nationality in the
coal regions, and there are two factions
in the church-the Poles proper and the
Linthuanians. Two months ago Bishop
| O'Hara removed Father Warnegris,
who is a Lithuanian. The Polish fac.
ton wanted Polish priest as his sue.
cessor, but the bishop appointed Father
Burba of Hazleton, Lithuanian.
The poles took possession of the paro-
chial residence, and when Father Burba
went to Plymouth he was warned that
if he entered the church it would be at
the risk of his life. Bishop O'Hara sent
dsinterested parties to talk with the
Poles, but all to no purpose. Early
Tuesday morning the bishop went to
Plymouth and told Father Mack, assist
ant at ST. Vincent's Church, to go to the
Polish Church residence and demand
admittance in the name of the bishop.
When Father Mack called at the house
he was warned by the inmates to leave.
Upon the advice of the bishop he went
before burgess Martin and had a warrant
issued for the arrest of the poles in the
house. When three constables reached
the house the inmates pulled their guns
and ordered them away. A large crowd
had collected, and while the Poles had
their eyes on the people in front of the
house, the constables broke open rear
door and surprised three Poles who were
in the dining-room. They were dis
armed and taken to the lookup, followed
by large crowd.
While the police were on their way
n fa,, /,
large crowd gathered around the lookup.
Wilkes, tried to release the prisoners.
When they reached the lookup Cons
table Michael Melvin was on guard.
Wilkes ran up to him and said: "What
you arrest them men for?' Before Mel
vim. could reply Wilkes caught him by
the back of the neck, threw him off the
steps and when he was prostrated on
the ground jumped upon HIM. 81 kill
you," Wilkes exclaimed. And he would
have done so had not young man
named Griffiths interfered. He picked
up Melvin's revolver, which had fallen
from his pocket, and orderd the Polan-
ders to fall back Melvin was taken
home on stretcher. 1t was found that
his left leg was broken below the knee
and several bad cuts on the head. His
wounds are serious but not necessarily
fatal. Wilkes and a number of other
Polanders were arrested and placed in
the lookup.
The excitement over the affair still
continues. There are six Polanders in
possession with a large stock of guns
and ammunition. They announced YES
terday that the building would be held
at all hazards. Another attempt to
enter will be made this afternoon by the
burgess and deputy sheriff, and it is
possible there will be more bloodshed.
