ST. MICHAEL OF AeYssINIA.
Strange Ceremonies with Which He II
HOnored by the Philippians.

Strange Ceremonies with Which He II
HOnOred by the Philippians.
An interesting account is given by a
correspondent of lie Temps of Paris of
the celebration of St MichaeIs day in
Abyssinia. ST. Michael is the patron
saint of the empire, and according to
the people and their traditions, written
on parchmentand stored in the archives,
st. Michael was an Abyssinian general
He is pictured on a fiery steed, holding
in his hand a smoking gun. Other pic
lures represent him in battle; terri
BILE encounter, in which the enemy
bites the dust. An inscription beneath
records this particular engagement.
''Our calendar says the correspond
ent, merely mentioning him as an or
binary saint, 1t was difficult to be-
lieve that the Philippians had come
to celebrate this day as ma
tional festival if we had not met
on our morning walk a procession of
peasants, tramps, cripples, beggars and
lepers before the doors of the Church
of the Saviour lMedapi Alleml. Here
there was generous bestowal OF aims,
yet all insufficient to those whose ap.

Cling, rolling in the dust in their eager
ness to obtain an extra ration. The
pancakes, which represent Abyssiniap
bread, were snatched and deyoured
upon the instant. A distribution of
blows from the baton more abundant
even than that of the bread, for the pos
lice are not at all sparing in this regard,
tempered the ardor of the more desper-
ate, the miserable lot bowling under
the blows which fell upon their bare
heads. After the distribution of the
bread and the blows of the cudgel the
ground, like that of q battle, was
strewn with rags, while blood flowed
by this time from the bruised limbs of
these unfortunates. This stormy fray
was the signal for the commencement
of the festivities, all in honor of St
Michael.
At an early hour the Abyssinian men
and women, more devout than usual,
set out toward the little church of ST.
Michael, situated in the Ghenya Biet,
or treasure house, which is at the
same time the magazine and depot Of
supplies. This is the chapel of the pal
ace. The chief of the Ghenya Biet is
at once the receiver-general and the
curate of the principal church. About
$50 tlere is firing of guns from the
Faras Magala, which is the gIand city
hall A motley crowd arrayed IN white
robes striped with crimson fills the
inclosure. The Mussulmans, Hanaris,
I Gallas and Arabs, urged by GU

most picturesque, augmented as it IS By
the groups of petidiers and women
dressed in roles OF red and blue, orna-

the fact that it is long since the Portu,

A Dog. sense of MILITARY Honor.

A resident of West Chester, Pa, is au-
thority for the following dog story"
as it was Eeeited to him by a soldier:
Troop F of the Sixth c~alry owned
dog which accompanied It on every
trip. At the battle of Wounded Knee
some time ago the animal was aban-
doned and was found in a snow drift
by sergeant of troop, who took it
away and cared for it. The animal
could not be persuaded to return to its
former owners and remained with the
sergeant. One day the sergeant was
reduced to the ranks for some breach of
discipline. From that day forth the
dog would have nothing whatever to
do with him and took up its quarters
in another tent. 1t could never again
be persuaded to return to the sergeant,
evidently considering . reduced man far
beneath its notice.

THE GOLD WORRY.

Why Does Not the Secretary Of the Treas
ury Use the Option Given Him BY Act of
Congress?
The authorities at Washington have
been for some time in ''a peck of trouble"
over the shipment of gold from this
country, and seem now to have just
about come to the conclusion that they
must sell some more bonds to get gold
to keep in the treasury.
This gold craze would be laughable
were 1T not made such an instrument
for the oppression of the people. These
oUtshipments of gold are nothing more
nor less than continuation of the gold
kings conspiracy against silver and the
people, and the treas ury authorities
could knock it out at single pass, and
In strict compliance with law if they
would do it Indeed, in not doing it
they are every day violating the law
Under the Sherman law of 1890, the
government must buy 1850, 900 ounces
OF silver per month, paying therefor
treasury notes which declare upon
their face that they are redeemable in
gold or silver at the option of the sec
rotary OF the treasury. Instead of so
redeeming them, the treasury depart
ment, in order to maintain the suprem-
acy OF gold, redeems them in gold.
Inc gold power, therefore, as fast as it
can gather in these certificates, pre-
sents them to the treasury and draws
out gold, until the available gold in the
treasury is almost gone, and the au-
thorltles, as before said, are about to
issue more bonds to buy gold. And
down with silver.
In the name of law, reason, common
sense and justice, why does not the
treasury redeem these treasury notes in
silver coin, according to the law and
contract? There was no legal stipula-
ton anywhere that they should be paid
In gold, and their payment in silver
would at once stop the gold drain, and
1t would stop their pres entation for re-
demplion; it would black the eve of the
gold power, but that is just what our
cowardly treasury officials dare not do
What reason do they give for paying
these treasury notes in gold? THAT
failing to do SO would be a suspension
OF specie payments?" Bosh! Is not
silver specie? When the industries of
the country were crushed few years
ago by pretended return to specie
payments, did that mean gold pay
ments? The people were never so in
formed. They understood that it meant
payments in gold or silver That is
what they have understood to be specie
payments from the foundation of the
government If our modern financial
doctors hold that specie payments is
nothing but gold payments, they should
tell the people so.
Meanwhile, in the name of the tax
paying industries of this country, we
demand that this gold foolishness cease;
that not another bond be sold to secure
gold, and that the silver certificates be
paid on demand in silver according to
the law and the contract as expressed
in the face of the certificates them
selves If the treasury authorities dare
not do it, we can name them thousand
f. M. b. A. farmers that, in the proper
positions, would do it, and do it in strict
accordance with law.-Mt Vernon OIL

echoes through space. It is always tho

for the trumpets, they are exactly like
those that herald the arrival OF
Rhadames, in Verdi's opera Aida"
Then came the soldiers, their rifles on
their shoulders, then the deacons. then
the priests The lower clergy wear up
on the head a high turban of white
muslin. They hold in the hand rattle
and the inevitable crutch. The
priests of high rank are of
Dalmatia. the most exalted (alaka)
wears a habit resembling that of the
Russian priests. A dignitary-his fore
head adorned with a golden tiara
whose robe is much like that of Euro
pean women. escorts the talbot. the sa-
cred wood of the high altar, the ark of
the Jews Immense parasols of red and
purple, bordered and tufted with vari-
GUS colors, sway above this procession,
dominating the multicolored silk UNI
brellas of the priests Two banners,
resembling those carried in our process
sions, record the valiant deeds of the
illustrious st. Michael.
While the high priests range them
selves along the wall of the Ghenya
Biet, waving their fans toward the
talbot, the lower clergy begin series of
grotesque dances, which appear any
thing but religious. Another fusilade
is fred while the women give vent to
strange cries which sound like the
whistle of locomotive, but which,
among these natives, are an indication
of enthusiastic delight. Then begins
slow Abyssinian chant, ringing, nasal,
and barbaric, accompanied by a noise
of rattles, while the dance of the priests
continues more rhythmic and animat-
ed. These contortions, executed with
smiles, are supplemented by the clap
ping of hands with the effect of casta-
nets. Finally the dance becomes more
rapid, and we take part in a verita BILE
quadrille in which there is nothing edi-
tying to Europeans accustomed to the
grave ceremonies of their country. This
dane marks the end of the ceremony.
The trumpets of Aida" resound once
more, the Ethiopian colors are hoisted
above the Ghenya Biet, and the guns
discharge another volley, dangerous to
the eyes of the passersby; the women
recommence their cries of distress, and
the procession, priests, banners, litters,
parasols. umbrellas, escorting the
talbot enters the Ghenya Biet, followed
by the kaleidoscope crowd.
Truly, this barbaric exhibition lacked
nothing of the theatric The blazing
tropical sun overhead reminded one of
an enormous calcium light, while the
square of the Faras Magala was a NOV
ing mass of color. 1t was the first fes-
tival of any gayety at which had been
present, the Feast of the Passover and
others which followed having been in
terrupted by the visitation of the cpl
demic. Throughout Abyssinia re-
ligious festivals take on a profane &C
compartment of fantastic whirls and
military evolutions. 1t is impossible to
describe all that have witnessed, and
l regret to add that the spectacle so
essentially picturesque, inspired in the
beholder nothing of religious senti-
ment or solemnity Chicago Tribune
