Several Traditions as to the Origin Of

Proof that the Chinese woman is not

another to have begun with Vas Niang,

GENERAL ARMSTRONG DEAD.
Hawaii's Noted Union Soldier Passes
Away

SAN FRANCISCO, May IL. - Super
intendent P. L. Weaver of the aims
house received a dispatch yesterday
announcing the death of his brother in
law, General Samuel Chapman Arm
strong, at Hampton, Va.
General Armstrong was born about
fifty two years ago in the settlement of
Waikiki, on the island of Maui, in
what was then the Hawaiian kingdom
His father was the Rev. Richard Arm
strong, one of the first missionaries to
the Sandwich Islands, and was one of
the founders of the public school system
there, afterwards being the minister of
public instruction. His mother was a
sister Of the late Chief Justice Chapman
of Massachusetts.
Young Armstrong passed his early
childhood on the Islands. When he
reached manhood he left the Islands
and came to San Francisco where he
became a lumber merchant, and was
singularly successful. When the war
broke out, he went East and entered
the army as private. At the close of
the war he was a captain, and was sub
sequently brevetted general for gallant
conduct in the field.
When the war was over the question
of what to do with the newly freed
people, ignorant and incapable of self
direction as children, was the most
stupendous problem of the day. Freed.
mems bureaus were established in
various parts of the country, and Gen.
eral Armstrong was placed in charge Of
the one at Hampton, Va. Here
through his efforts, a great industrial
school was established, and the sue,
cess of this institution in every direC
ton, morally, intellectually, in manual
training and financial management, has
made it one of the most famous schools
of the age and its founder one of the
most celebrated men of the day.
Long ago the institution ceased to
be merely a school for the negro
race, and the broader idea of race
culture from the worlds standpoint
became its dominant purpose, SO that
to-day the negro shares its advantages
almost equally with the Indian and
Chinese, and even Persians find place
within its boundaries. The effect OIL
its influence upon the Indians was put
to a crucial test during the late upris.
ing of the Sioux. Eighty two Hampton
students had come from Standing
Rock, the home of Sitting Bull and
the locality of the chief excitement dur
ing the messiah" craze. Only one OF
these, and that the son of old Sitting
Bull, took up arms, all the rest remain
ing loyal to the Government.
General Armstrong leaves four
sisters-Mrs. Beckwith wife of Rev.
+. c. Beckwith, d. d., of Honolulu,
Mrs P. l.. Weaver, matron of the aims
house, Mrs Banning and Miss Jennie
Armstrong, who resides with the
Weavers.-S, F. Chronicle.

A Canine Musical Critic.

A wonderful storyof a French musica,
critic is related by persons who profess
to have been acquainted with him an6
who have seen him in attendance on
musical performances, He was dog
and his name in public was Parade
Whether he had a different name al
home was never known At the begin.
ming of the French revolution he went
every day to the military parade in front
of the Tuileries palace. He marched
with the musicians, halted with them,
listened knowingly to their performances,
and after the parade disappeared, to re,
turn promptly at parade time next day.
Gradually the musicians became at.
tached to this devoted listener.
They named him Parade, and one OF
another of them always invited him to
dinner. He accepted the invitation and
was a pleasant guest. It was discovered
that after dinner he always attended the
theater, where he seated himself calmly
in the corner of the orchestra and lis
tened critically to the music. If new
piece was played, he noticed it instantly
and paid the strictest attention. If the
piece had fine melodious passages, he
showed his joy to the best of his doggish
ability, but if the piece was ordinary
and uninteresting he yawned, stared
about the theater and Enthusiastically

WITH SOLEMN PoMP.

The Remains of Mayor Harrison Es.
corted to Graceland Cemetery.
CHICAGO, Nov. With the solemn
pomp and imposing ceremonies befit-
ting the interment of the chief magis-
trate of the Worlds Fair City and his
pitifully dramatic fate, Carter H. Har-
rison's body was escorted to Graceland
cemetery by an immense throng of
sorrowing citizens. Tenderly the re-
mains were borne from the black
draped and fower-scented corridor of
the city hall, where they had rested in
state and placed in the funeral car.
Through the great crowd that had
gathered to see the murdered mayors
last eave-taking of the scenes Of his
ardent labors in behalf of the city he
loved, the black car slowly passed and
took its place in the waiting process
sion. AS it drew into the line the
march was taken up, and the thou

the dead moved slowly through the
crowded streets

and to the sad music of the funeral
march. Out from the center of the city
the great procession marched across the
river and to the beautiful Church of
the Epiphany, near the late executives
home. All along the line of march the
people with sad faces and barred heads,
watched the sombre columns, and
about the church throng as great as
that which had been about the city hall
was gathered.
From the time the mayors body was
placed in the city hall, con ntinuous
procession moved through the corridor
and past the bier. For "a hours the
line remained unbroken, and when the
corridor was Of necessity abruptly

in double file awaiting an entrance to

line extended block and half from
the entrance and the people stood in
line for hours, unwilling to loose their
last opportunity to see the face of Car
ter Harrison. As the long line grew
shorter with the coming of the morn,

endeavor to rush the people past the
bier. but before the nights crowd had

Amendments TO tHe Silver Repeal Bill
Coneurred In by the House.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-The extraor-
binary session of the Fifty-third con-
gress, after being in session 81 days
and three hours adjourned without
day. A wrangle between the house
and senate over an appropriation to
pay the senate session employees for
work done during the recess of the
Fifty-frst congress in 1859, caused the
failure of the general deficiency bill
and the bill for the payment of clerks
and employees during the adjournment
between now aud the regular session,
Dec. 4. The senate was determined
that this appropriation should be agreed
to by the house with the alternative of
sacrificing the deficiency bill, and SEN
ator Cockrell, chairman of the appro-
priations committee, sent word that
Not Dollar of Deficiency
would be agreed to by the senate until
the house accepted this amendment
which had been tackled on the deh-
cheney bill. The final adjournment
resolution had been passt d and in this
way the senate expected to force the
house to yield. TO make assurance
doubly sure, the senate also placed the
same amendment on the bill providing
pay for session employees and clerks to
members during the recess, and sent
word that if their amendment was
agreed to the deficiency bill would be
released from conference where 1t was
being held as if in chancery by the SEN
ate. Inasmuch as every member of the
house was personally interested IN the
resolution to keep his clerk on the pay
roll during recess they thought that

tion came back to the house, however,
with the senate amendment on as a
rider, it was about o'clock. Mr..
Hutchinson saw that if he could hold
the house at bay for the space of but a
