ANOTHER RELIGIOUS CEREMONY.
One that Is Unique Takes Place in the
Midway Plaisancc.


Strange sights were witnessed in Mid
way Plaisance during the morning. The
Mohamme,. II. $ in the queer street began
the cele,r On of the birthday of the
"True Irup.et'' and the manner of it
filled the spectators with wonder and at
times with horror. The Mohammedan
Christmas brings penance and prayer, in
addition to feasting and making
merry. The day had been frightened by
Sne sun but few minutes when the
guards and early risers in Midway were
attracted to the Algerian village by
mighty hubbub. al the dancing girls and
the native attendants of the baZaars were
congregated in the restaurant and they
were attired in their most gorgeous
costumes.
Two lambs We're brought into the room
by a couple of black men and slaughtered
in the presence of the entire company,
while the worshippers sang quaint song
and sank to the floor in prayer A braZier
full of live Goals stood just outside the door
of the cafe. The blood of the lambs was
caught in earthen dishes and placed near
the brazier. After half hour of prayer,
during which time nearly all the villagers
remained PROSTATE on the floor, the women
gathered about the vessels. One after an
other the girls approached the dishes OF
blood and dipped their hands in the warm
red fluid
Some of the women ran to the nearest
wall and placed their blOOd-besmeared
hands against the woodwork so as to leave
the impression of their fingers outlined in
red. Then they rushed back to the brazier
and thrusting their hands into the live
Goals ran with a handful to the blood
marks on the woodwork and actually
burned away the red stains with the fire
held in their bare hands. \ few of them
showed that they suffered pain, but the
majority of them did not seem to mind it
at all. This peculiar ceremony occupied
the best part of an hour and was intended
to typify the cleansing of the blood by fire
after death.
The greatest part of the forenoon was oc-
cupied by the women in penance and self
torture. Three of them picked up live
Goals and drew them across their bare
bosoms. So severely did one of them burn
her own flesh that the odOr of burning
flesh could be detected for ten minutes af-
terward. Other women threw themselves
on their faces or knees on the hard floor.
One Xoman ran swiftly at the wall of the
room and hurled herself headforemost
against it. SO seriously did another injure
herself that she was taken to the hospital
in an ambulance This display of fanati-
cism among the girls lasted until noon.
Then all care was thrown aside and the
day was given over to feasting and dane
ing.

considerable difference of opinion as to
the shape of the proposed gift from the
women of Canada to Prince George and

A Bold Crime and Its Swift Punishment.

the train, noticed tramp (who had stol

along the track. He told conductor
Benz. Raub what was going on, and was
told TO jump off and aid the girl. This
he did. The tramp had struck the girl
and thrown her down, and was threaten

preached. The tramp brandished a knife
foot long at Call and warned him of,
but as that did not have any effect on him,
Notwithstanding that he had nothing with

in the Delaware, wading out where il was

The course of the Cleveland Admins
tration towards Hawaii, in deciding to use
its power to subvert the republican gov
erpment now existing there, and to re-
establish the monarchy, has created q
grave feeling of surprise and indignation
throughout the country. The New York
Sun dcnounces it as "The Policy of In
fanny" and declares that ''never before
now has an American Executive under
taken to stamp out republicanism and to
set up monarchy, in any part CT the world.
Never before, we believe, has an Ameri-
can President issued orders for the assas-
ination OF free and successful govern
ment. Never before has any officer of
this Government undertaken, upon his
sole responsibility and without consulting
Congress or the people, to decide the
destiny OF a foreign country in diplomat
ic relations with ourselves. Never be-
fore has President invited or command
ed his Cabinet advisers to assist him in
the odious business of setting up again
rotten and broken throne" Other Demo
cratic newspapers are equally outspoken,
and there is no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland
has raised storm about his ears that
threatens to wreck his administration.

About n Dog.

MIR. Brian Markey, residing on South
Main street, below the rubber mill, has q
shepherd dog which appears TO have an
uncommonly good dog instinct, besides
being quite useful about the premises.
He has generally been allowed TO remain
10 the house in the evenings unit, bed
time then he is ordered out to his dog
house, which order he promptly obeys.
The other evening he received his usual
orders, and seeing the house cat under the
table and supposing the order was intend
ed for both, and it not moving, he caught
the cat by the neck and carried il out with
him.
MIR. Mafkey raises numbers OF chickens,
which roam over bis six-acre lot on the
hillside. At evening, when they are fed,
he is told to 20 for the chickens and he
goes around the outside OF the lot yelping.
The chickens then appear to know It Is
feeding time, for they all hastily go TO the
feeding grounds and the dog follows In
the rear to see that they arc all there.
While the corn is thrown TO the chickens
the dog sits on rock and seems to take
much interest in seeing them fed. No
common price will buy that dog.
