AHigh Life Chinese Wedding in Chicago.

It was a solemn but strange wedding.
The parties to the contract were .Moy
Sing, a disciple of COnfucius, and Miss
Ida Wagner, q cOmely German girl
from StreatOr.
The ceremony was performed in q
room richly hung B Oriental trappings,
near Hip Lungs Hotel. There were
present a score or more Chinese, a few
of whom had wives of AnglO-Saxon
blood. All were in holiday attire, and
when the marital knot was tied there
was a general rejoicing. The rites
were pronounced after the manner set
fOrts in the statute books of the State
of Illinois. The performance was soon
over, and then the friends gathered
about to congratulate the newly welded
pair, Just as Americans do. Then
queer little orchestra, consisting of four
Celestials, performed on several odd
looking stringed instruments and
tOm-tOm or gong, producing a weird
kind of music. There was nothing
elaborate in the dress either of the
bride OrgrOOm. Moy Sing wore a royal
purple silk robe, with the usual flow
ing sleeves and wide skirt, while his
bride appeared in a suit of India silk.
At the conclusion the groom led his
bride to Hip Lungs hotel, at 223 South
Clark street, where he has rented a
suite of rooms. It is an eminently re-
spectacle house, and is known to the
Chinese from San Francisco to New
York as the resort of the silk stocking
element of Monaghan society in Chi
cagO. In this hotel two other China
men with American wives occupy
apartments, and the advent of a third
white woman was duly celebrated.
The groom, MOy Sing, Is a native of
Canton, and is % years of age. He is
cigarmaker IN the employ of Sam
Moy. 1t is said that Mr.. Sing met Miss
Wagner In StreatOr some years ago
while he was conducting a laundry
there. CHICAGO Illter Ocean

in charcoal and pencil. Some of them
have been so meritOriOus as to meet
with immediate purchasers. Many of
the sketches shown are the work of be-
ginners, who have begun well. Many
of them never did any outdoor sketch
ing before. 1t is remarkable that there
is an absence of figures and flowers
unless exception be made to the study
of head for which pretty little Edith
Sexton posed The two little Sexton
girls are excellent models, and would
prove valuable aids to any artist who
cared to paint a picture representing
the two little English princes in the
tower.
The artists have painted almost
everything on, about, or near the isl
and, except the town of Portland.
Prohibition prevented painting. One
object that has been introduced into
almost every sketch is the lighthouse,
marking the main channel, or Port
land light, as it is called.
One of the few points about the isl
and that have not been sketched by
every artist in the vicinity is old Fort
GOrges, in Portland harbor. It is

lending an Umbrella.

Gone night after I had turned In. -
said a druggist, At received a call
through the tube and went down to the
store to see what was wanted There
was a heavy shower in progress, and
on opening the door I saw young gen
tIeman and lady who had sought. the
protection of my awning. having been
caught without an umbrella. The gen
tIeman said he had called me down to
ask as a great favor if I would lend
him an umbrella; that it was late, and
cars were running at long intervals,
and that unless I would accommodate
him he didn't see how he could get his
lady home without her getting very
wet. At first thought it was rather
cheeky for a total stranger to wake me
up out of a sound sleep in the middle
Of the night, and then add insult to
injury by asking me to lend him my
umbrella. The young lady looked 50
beseechingIy at me, however, that I
couldn't decline, and so Z lent them the
only umbrella I had, which was a val
uabIe silk one. The next day the
young man came into the store with the
umbrella, was very prOfuse In his
thanks, and also purchased a very nice
little bill OF goods.

lied why so many "fresh-air funds"
were started in the East.
A point Of special interest to visitors
In Portland is the house where the
poet LongfellOw was born. 1t is in the
lower part of the town and attracts
continual attention.
Another point of interest in Portland,
and which is visited by every stranger,
is LongfellOw square, one of the most
beautiful spots in the Forest City of
Maine. In the center Of the square is
the splendid heroic statue of LOngfeI
low, born and reared in P Portland, the
pride of its people.
One of the ChicagOans return ed from
Portland with a unique story. A small
boy said to his mother:
Mother, give me money to go to the
circus"
"No, I can't let you go there"
"Then let me have tooth pulled;
want to do something"
There are many beautiful things to
be seen about Cushing's Island, but
among the living pictures few call out
as much admiration as is bestowed
upon 'the pretty girl, as she is called
by the many who have eyes for the
beautiful. The pretty girl" is Miss
Lila Wittredge, Of Lynn, Mass, who
came here with her mother. Miss
Wittredge has been ikened unto a
wild rose, she is so fair to look upon.
She is of the brunette type, with dark,
lustrous eyes, q plentiful supply of
black hair, complexion that is rich
and rare, defying description. Miss
Wittredge is about II years of age, but
is nevertheless a belle. She has an
immense repertoire of dresses, in the
selection of which she has shown not
only startling originality but exquisite
taste. The professional artists have
thus far been unsuccessful in getting

What Are the Thoughts Of the Dyingl

In the Societe de BioIogie Fere af-
irmed that dying person in his last
moments thinks of the chief events of
his life. Persons resuscitated from
drowning, epiIeptics with grave at
tacks, persons dying and already un-
conscious, but momentarily brought
back to consciousness by ether injec-
tiOns to utter their last thoughts, all
acknowledge that their last thoughts
revert to mOmentous events of their
life. Such an ether injection revives
once more the normal disposition Of
cerebral activity, already nearly ex-
tinguished, and it might be possible at
this moment to learn of certain i'm
portant events Of the past life. Brown
Sequard mentions the remarkable fact
that persons who, in consequence of
grave cerebral affections have been
paralyzed for years, get back at once
when dying their sensibility, mobility,
and intelligence. All such facts clearly
show that at the moment of dissolution
important changes take place, reacting
upon the composition of the blood and
the functions Of the organs. Medical

General Pike was born at Newbury-
