3onuine Chinese Wedding Held
In San Francisco.

There was great excitement in China
town, San Francisco, the other day,
5cAused by the marriage of a Chinese
Hbclle in strict accordance with the Ori-
|eental customs, Che Fa Queo, or flower
ssitting- being used for the first
ime in this country. Expense was not
spared in the construction of the sedan,
which is described by the Chronicle as
- handsome piece Of workmanship. 1t
as about. five feet high, with space of
#about four feet square for the accom-
Siodation of the passenger. 1t is lux
ur;aasly upholstered, while the exterior
kis, trimmed in red and black silk, held
securely in place by strips of gold mold
ing I'll tt, comcly Chinese maiden,
secured the honor of being the first to
use the new sedan, and the event
caused hundreds of Chinese to assem-
BILE in the vicinity of the brides resi-
dence to get a glimpse of it. 1t is Gus
tomary in China for two male relatives
of the bride to carry the sedan, but in
this case there were none who wanted
10 convey the chair through therain and
mud to the ferry. So it was securely
fastened in wagon.
Ii TITS courtship had been carried on
in true oriental style, and, although
the marriage ceremony has been nearly
completed, she has not yet seen the
man whom she must soon call her lord
and master The bridegroom is All
NO, prosperous fruit grower, residing
near Sacramento. For weeks q go-bc-
tween has been negotiating with the
family of the bride andthe bridegroom,
and at last the dot of each was salts
factorily arranged and the marriage
preparations began. For several day
there had been feasting and pleasure
ut the home of Ii III, which were later
continued at the home of the BRIDE
groom At last the time for departure
had arrived. and for several hours the
bride sat in her room dressed in the
bridal robes of red silk and surrounded
by her female friends. Her face was
closely yelled and she kept crying and
wailing aloud while the women about
her chanted doleful songs. While that
scene was being enacted large ex-
press wagon was being filed with fur
nitore. clothing and sweetmeats, which
the bride must take to her husband.
When the sedan was ready the bride,
astride the back of q female member
of her family, was brought down the
stairway. all the time giving forth
loud lamentations. Amid shower of
rice and the shooting of firecraciAers
she was bundled into the sedan and the
door tightly closed. Several carriage
~ I,o hid
to the steamer, but only the go-be-
tween and few members of her fam
lily accompanied her to the waiting
groom. upon her arrival the groom
gave his friends great feast. and that
completed the ceremony that made
them man and wife.

COON. One dark night o terrible storm
caught both vessels near the Anda-
mans, and a great wave carried them
high on the shore. Next morning the
regiment. without g man missing, was
reunited on the island. The battalions
had Travelled around the world to meet,
and stranger meeting never occurred.
The administration OF this pennl col
ony is remarkable system OF rewards
and punishments. Invariable good
conduct secures better food. increased
comforts and finally wages for days
work. Twenty years of obedience to
the rules secures pardon for life con-
victs. Pardons are often granted for
deeds of gallantry, end murdercrs,
red-handed and with weapons ready,

risked their lives to gain the coveted
freedom. The attempt to assassinate
the chief official of the colony may re-
suit in restrictions that the convlcts
have hitherto escaped.

HuaE PENAL SETTLEMENT.

fh~ Andaman Islands, Where Eight Thou
sand .Lifers" Alone Arc Imprisoned.
Thirteen thousand convicts are liv-
ing at Port Blair, in the Andaman
islands, which is PROBABLY the largest
penal settlement in the world. says the
New York Sun. The Andaman islands
are in the Bay of Bengal. and to Port
Blair is sent the refuse of two hundred
and fifty million people. The worst
criminals of British India and BuImah,
if they incur long sentences of impris-
onment, are sent to Port Blair. Over
eight Thousand of them are serving life
sentences. The attack upon the chief
official of the islands is all the more
noteworthy because, since the settle
ment of Port Blair was started in 1857,
with the mutinous Sepoys as the first
colonists. there have been only two
murderous assaults on Europeans by
convicts; and yet to guard this army
of evil-doers only one company OF Brit
ish infantry and several hundred
Punjab police are employed, a very
small fierce when it is considered that
there are no prison walls, and that the
convict barracks are scattered all over
the settlement, which is several miles
square. The hundred or more boats
and canoes required for the work of
the settlement are far more care fully
guarded than the prisoners them
selves There is no chance To escape,
except by capturing these boats Even
then there would be little hope of free
dom, for the Andamans are far from
land and lie in a region of tempests
The only refuge is the forest. waery
runaways are sure to die of starvation.
If they are not shot by the natives The
authorities, therefore, have so little
fear of any attempt to escape that NJ
many as i've hundred of convict
are often sent ten miles away without
any guards except their own officers
Even in this isolated place a re.narlS-
able incident occurs now and then to
vary the monotony of incessant road
making and forest telling. Nearly
eleven years ago sounds were hear
like the firing Of big guns. and IL wa
rhought warship had goa ashore
South Andaman. Tlla station steam
was sent to carry relief to the crew
but no wreck was found. The noises
came from Krallatoa, one thousan

The temRsrature last week was

age, the sun shine also being more
than the average. The rainfall was
local in the state, in the northeast
central and southwest there being
a present sufficiency, and crops be-

Perry and Johnson counties damag

Wheat harvest is generally in
progress in the southern part of
the state and has begun in the north
The grain is reported as being good
quality. In the west oats have
been improved by rains, in the east
injured by dry weather. Corn is
well tended, is growing well, but
has been injurrd by chinch bugs

ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS.
Teachers, Pupils, Salaries and
Length of Term.

There are in Bollinger county Il
public school districts. In these
schools 79 teachers are employed
by the people to teach approx
imately 1900 pupils. This is an
average of So pupils to the teacher.
The salary paid teachers range
from $40 to $50 per month, the av-
erage salary being about $50 per
month. The length of term ranges
from 4 to 7 months, the average
length of term being about 5
months.
From the above it will be seen
that teachers are paid about $3.50
per year, or a little more than 30
cents per pupil for teachers per
term, or 10 cents per pupil per
month or one-half of one cent per
pupil per day.
Marble Hill and Lutesville are
the only places in the county at
which two teachers are employed
in one school. About two-thirds of
the teachers employed are men.

A FIRE COMPANY.
One Should Be Organized and
Trained.

The futile efforts to save Judge
Frymire's residence, when by
prompt and proper effort it might
have been kept from burning, sug-
gests that the town ought to have a
fire company. Of course it will
have to be a volunteer one, but it
need be none the less efficient.
The editor has consulted several
people, and all favor the plan,
many expressing willingness to
be one of the company. From
general sentiment Robert Fisher
would make good captain, and he
has said that he would accept the
place if the people desired it.
Equipped with hooks, ladders
and buckets, a small number of
men could do very efficient work.
1t should have the careful considers
alton of every person in the town.
