SHIPPING DEAD MEMS BONES.
Remains of Defunct Cinnamon Being
Remoyed-HoM 1t Ii Done.

In accordance with the time honored custom
among the Chinese jewellers in foreign lands,
the bodies of those who have died within the
last fifteen years have been exhumed and will
be shipped to Hongkong, China Contrary to
the general idea, there are no ceremonies at
tending the exhuming or shipping of bodies to
China As well educated Chinaman ex pressed
it,
There is nothing unusual about the desire of
a person to be laid away In the land Of hts
youth.
1t is now fully fifteen years since any bodies
have been shipped, although in the meantime
the fund for this purpose has been constantly
increasing. Subscriptions from all sources
are received, and when the time
arrives for action everything is done
i'll a purely business-like manner. Bids are
called for, and the one who will take the con-
tract for handling the dead Cinnamon or their
bones at the lowest figure secures the work.
The Cinnamon are methodical, even to allowing
time sufficient for all flesh to decompose before
opening the grave. When the bodies or boneS
are taken up they are Immediately put in her
metically sealed boxes At the present time
there are about forty boxes of this nature in
Lake View cemetery ready to be shipped to
Portland. From there they either go direct to
Hongkong or by the way of san Francisco. The
method of marking the boxes so that the rea-
tives in China may secure the remains of their
own dead is purely Oriental and known only to
the Chinese, but the general plan is very simple.
The whole shipment is consigned to what,
literally translated into English, would mean
eastern General Hospital This institution
is of much Importance in China and supported
by contributions from ali, especially the rich,
who bcstow large amounts yearly. In character
and purpose ii is the same hospitals in this
country. but in its working il is a colossal insti-
tuition. 1t covers in area more than four large
blocks and the number OF employees, as expressed
by native of China, is Every, very many"
When the cargo OF dead Chinamens bones ar
rives at Hongkong they are taken to the hos
ptal. An officer selected for the purpose looks
over the addresses, and. when he has found out
where such and such box goes, it is re-shipped
to the city, town or village from whence came
the Chinaman long since dead. In other words,
the general hospital at Hongkong acts a CEN
trail distributing point in the case OF Cinnamon
who die in foreign lands.
When the remains reach the native place they
are buried with ceremonies OF religious ma
ture, and in manner similar TO ordinary inter
ments.

FELL INTO A CELLAR.
Accident to Milkman Causes Sensa-
tional RepOrts of Robbery.

Carl Swanson a driver of a Duwami sh dairy
milk wagon, met with accident yesterday
morning near the seagrave house on Virginia
street, that for time deprived him OF his senses
aud also gave rise To the report that he had
been sandbagged and robbed
He was delivering milk with William Overly
and Charles Chickner from wagon No. 6, and
left the others to take some milk TO customer
IL was about 80 in the morning. and was still
quite dark. He does not know what happened
afterwards, but when his companions saw him
again his face was covered with blood and he
WAS muttering tncoherently. He seemed to be
very much dazed, and could not give an account
of what had occurred TO him. About SIS in his
pocket was untouched and the theory is that he
must have fallen into cellar way and lost con-
seriousness from a wound in the head.
Swanson was out of his head nearly all day
and could not remember anything that had hap
peued during the last few days He said last
night that he had dim recoliect ion Of having
seen some women bending over him ana wash
ing his face, but he does not know where il was
or how he again overlook his companions. One
of the boys noticed that his watch was gone
and il supposed that swanson had been
robbed, until another driver remembered that
Swanson had sent his watch TO the ieweler the
day before TO TO repaired.
