Ugly Mob of HowdyL
PITrsBuRoH, Pa, March 29.-Tht
Cinnamon Of Pittsburgh, contrary to the
general belief in regard to their burials,
do not send their dead to China, but
own a neat lot in Uniondale cemetery,
in which. they are inferred.
This afternoon, one Of their number,
Jeu seu, was buried with every rite and
observance attending Chinese ohsequies.
Jeu Seu was a high Mason, and long
procession Of Celestials followed the re-
mains TO the grave.
Here most disgraceiul scene ensued,
brought about by some 1900 Cacaus-
SLAMS, who had trampled over graves,
torn down shrubbery aud jostled the
timid mourneIs in order to gfatify their
curiosity.
The Chinese reverently placed burn.
ing joss sticks, pertumed paper and
printed prayers beside the grave, only to
haye them almost snatched out OF their
hands by the excited mob. They also
wrapped small coins in paper and scat.
tered them on and in the grave, but boys
and men snatched them up and fought
6ercely for possession OF the curious
msmentoes. Cat calls, jeers and howls
from the vulgar crowd added 10 shame
fut scene. The riotous crowd was made
up OF only the idle, vulgar and lawless.

covered the microbe Of Ia grippe, and
that he believes they drop down while

OF :.star dust,p has caused aensation
among the physicians OF this city; and

Several prominent doctors and expert
pathologists who were interviewed re-
garding the Importance Of DR.. Gentry's

that 1t was altogether improbable and
utterly without any scientific value.
Most Of the medical fraternity loyk upon

WASHINGTON, D. O., March 29.-sena.
tor Faulkner returned from his trip to
the Pacific coast with the Hearst funeral
committee on Friday. BE had himself
interviewed at once on the subject Of the
alleged disgraceful performances Of the
funeral committee en- route. Il was
commonly reported that the committee
had been more than ordinarily profuse
in hematter Of Its entertainment during
the continuance Of It's long journey,
especially with reference TO liquids.
Stories Of this kind are always rife after
0 Congressional funeral excursion, but
never 90 pronounced as in the present
instance. The Senator, however, denies
all such Tumors; be says the committee
comported itself with perfect dignity and
propriety throughout. There was some
wine brought back, bat it was unopened.
There was a considerable. showing Of
bottles also, but they we're the relicts Of
Appolinaris and Congress waters, used
in preference to the alkali waters OF the
plains. No doubt the Senator is en-.
tirely correct in his report; but this par
ticular kind Of iunkets Is liable 10 fallinto
innocuous desuetude ere long. To the
average mind it will not seem profitable
TO pay out $4,000 In good hard money
for q "Trip OF this nature.
Senator Faulkner's wife has been quite
III OF late, and has only awaited the re-
turn OF her husband in order TO seek her
home at Martipsburg. tits said that she
is only suffering from too active social
season, and will shortly be fully recov.

city for the present.
Hon. William L. Wilson will deliver

Alumni Of the University OF Virginia, at

Mr.. Wilson's Speakership boom is
very much under cover at present. He

is that there are but two real candidates
for tho place, Mills and Crisp; and the
