Heightened CHINESE FUNERAL.
It will be an Event in the History OF
Chinatown


Chinatown.
George Hing, one of the weslthiest mer-
chants in Chinatown, died on Friday last
and will be buried to-day. Extensive prep
arations have been going on for the past
two days for the funeral, which will bea very
imposing affair. Nearly every hack in the
city has been engaged. and the hearse will be
drawn by four white horses. 1t is said that
the dead mans funeral costume cost at
least 81 900. He will be robed in seven
elegant silk coats, the outer one alone cost
ing about 5000. The body has been en-
balmed and placed in costly metallic
casket.
The High Priest arrived from San Fran
cisco yesterday, and during the day and
most of last night continually chanted the
Chinese death rites and performed the or
thodox ceremonies. Two dozen female
mourners have been engaged already for
the occasion, and one of the deceased's rel
atives stated last night that he thought an
other dozen would be hired to-day.
The body will lie in state during the
forenoon to-day on a catafalque TO be
erected in the street in front OF the de-
ceased's late place of business, 800 street.
There will be religious ceremonies and
mourning, etc until P. NJ, when the fu-
neral procession will start for the cemetery.
George H. Clark, who has charge of it,
says that the funeral without donbt will be
the graDdest affair of the kind that ever &C.
Cured in Chinatown, as the relatives Of the
deceased have spared no expense in the
preparations
The procession will pass through the
principal streets, and then out to Helyetia
Cemetery, where there will be more i'm
pressive ceremonies with roast pig, punk
and other usual accessories. After this is
over the body will be brought back to town
and shipped to China for final interment.
The deceased was 81 years of age and
leaves four wives, three in this city and one
in China, and two children. His estate is
worth over $4,000. The Sacramento wives
are provided for in his will as follows: To
the first wife, $1,000; to the second, $4,000,
and to the third, $1,000, upon condition
that they go back to China and remain sim
gle. Deceased's brother, Lui Hing, who is
the familiar one legged Chinaman who di-
reefs Chinese passengers at the depot, is
also we'll provided for.

sented by the liquor interests asking for the
discharge of Mr.. Leitch from the employ of the

SKIRMISHING BEGUN.
DELEGATES TO THE REPUBLICAN CON
vENTI0N ARRIVING.
The South on Hand Early-Notes of the
Coming neutrality-suspicious. for
To-Morrow's Convention.

More than usual interest centers in the
Republican State Convention which is to
meet il this city tomorrow afternoon. A
few struggling delegates thereto hoated
into town on Saturday, but yesterday they
began to arrive in crowds, and throughout
the day and evening the scenes about the
leading hotels and public places were en-
livening. Several candidates are also on
the ground, and delegates are already un-
dergoing the button-hole ordeal so INSOFAR
ably connected with the holding of Con-
vention.
Many of the delegates first went to San
Francisco, but the candidates were making
it so warm for them down there, despite
the fogs of the bay and the ocean winds,
that they were forced to flee to the equsble
temperature of the Capital city. But it
was like leaping from the frying-pan into
the fire, in one sense, although their pres
ence here has been greeted with cool and
gentle breezes, nicely tempered in their
journey up the valley from the ocean.

Put Up Your Flags,

Sacramentans should not forget that there
are many hundreds of strangers within the
city's gates to-day. and that the number
will be largely increased by every incoming
train. Hence everything possible should
be done to make the city attractive.

Secretary Steppacher has, by authority of
the committee, had printed very handsome
lavender satin badges for the delegates, on
which is printed state Republican Con-
vention, $780," Then comes a neat Wig
nette representing the seal of State, and
below this the name of the county repre-
scented. These badges will be ready at the
| headquarters of the State Committee to-
| day, and all accredited delegates are re-
ouested to call there and receive them.
Badges of different C 1lors have also been
prepared for the Sergeants alarms, pages
and other attaches.
Two pages will be specially detailed for
| duty at the press reporters desks-a bit of
| though;fulness on the part of Secretary
| Steppacher that will be duly appreciated
| by those thus favored.
The last-Damed official has done an
other neat thing in preparing a neatly
printed pamphlet, intended as souvenir
| from the Republicans of Sacramento to the
| Convention, and is for distribution among
the delegates. The expense entailed by the
printing of the pamphlet was borne by the
| local committee. The souvenir contains
the call for the Convention; tables showing
the vote of California for President, Gov
ernor, Justices of the Supreme Court, Rep
reseniatives to Congress and members Of
the Legislature for the last two elections;
shows how all the District Conventions are
constituted, with the number of delegates
in each, and also has comparative table
showing the vote of Senatorial districts in
which State Senators are 10 be elected next

HOW They Make wooden shoes.


One of the most interesting places in
a Holland village is the "klompen" mak-
er's shop, where klompen, or wooden
shoes, are made.
Not far from Rotterdam, surrounded
by high dikes, lies the little village of
Rijsoord; in that village. beside the
Skalkydijk River, is a shop in which an
old man and his son work early aud late,
supplying the peasants, who never go
barefoot with shoes These are first
roughly shaped from blocks of willow
wood, as statue is first rudely outlined
by chipping the marble block. and after
ward the shoes are finished smoothly
with sandpaper and pumce stone.
The willow trees are grown for this
purpose and when they attain the re-
quired size they are cut down, the
branches are trimmed off, and only the
trunk is used, being divided into blocks,
each one of which is the length of the
longest shoe.
The work goes on without Interrupt
ton through the morning, unless some
friendly neighbor looks in over the half
open Dutch door; and this is the occa-

drawing few long whiffs, while they
listen to little village gossip.
At IL o'clock the good vrouw appears
at the door with "koffij, jongens coffee,
boys), and they follow her into the ad-
joining room. 1t has a low thatched
roof of deep yellow reeds, and contains
the great fireplace, where in damp
weather the newly made shoes are
placed before the fire to dry.
All their food is cooked in the same
fireplace, excepting the bread, which in
every peasants home is supplied by the
baker
The shoes are piled round the smolder-
ing embers, often with the tea kettle
simmering among them; and while the
sap dries out they give little groans,
and sighs, as if they knew the hard fate
awaiting them when the time shall come
for them to cover the feet of some sturdy
Dutch peasant or workman and to clat-
ter over the pavements of the town.
