No Counting in This Case.

The parents Of Mr.. Koo, the at
tache of the Chinese Legation at
Washington, have written to him
informing him that they have Sc
lected wife for him. He has
never seen his prospective bride and is
not likely to do so for some time, even
after he goes back home, as in the
Chinese marriage ceremony the bride
and bridegroom are forced to sit back
to back for three or four hours in
solemn silence on board table, DUR
ing which strange programme the
woman is so heavily vailed that even
the most ardent gaze of her legal part
ner would fail to distinguish her feat
ures. At the conclusion of the curious
ly intricate ceremonies the browning
stroke is the spiriting away OF the
bride by her relatives, who for DAYS
thereafter keep her in the closest Sc
clusion away from her husband. He
during that period can neither see nor
speak to her.-Cor. Detroit Free Press

gre's cannot empower tho President

be done by an amendment to the
Constitution Of this state, which gave
the Goyerner power to reject items
