SUICIDE PARTIES.
Entertainments That Would Not Find
Favor With American Girls

Mr.. Medhurst, for many years Brit
ish consul at Shanghai, tells, in the
London Million, Of a singular card
Of invitation" which he once received
in China. 1t was from a lady, intimat
ing her intention to commit suicide
on a specified date. She was very
young and attractive, and belonged to
Il wealthy family, but the Chinese
gentleman to whom she had been atti-
anced from childhood having died just
before the date fixed for their nup-
tails, she gave out that she deemed it
her duty to render her widoWhood IL
revocable by dying with her betrothed.
SO she sent cards around to the local
gentry giving notice of her purpose.
No attempt was made by her relatives
or the local authorities to Illustrate
her design, though Mr.. A1edhurst ap-
pealed to the mandarins, the general
opinion being that she was aboCS to
perform meritoriouS act Eventua.
ly. on the day named, the woman diu
deliberately sacrifice her life in the
presence of thousands Of spectators.
\ stage was erected in the open fields,
with Il tented frame over it, from
which was suspended slip of scarlet
crepe. One end Of this slip she fasten-
ed round her neck, and then, embrac-
ing a little boy presented by one of
the bystanders, she mounted chair
and resolutely jumped off, "her nttle
clasped hands saluting the assemblage
as her body twirled round with the
tightening cord" The woman was not
bounded on by fanatic mob, as was
the practice at suttees in India, but
immolation appeared to be an entirely
voluntary act. Sacrifices of this kind,
according to Mr.. Medhurst, are not
uncommon in certain districts of China,
and, strange to say, they are reward
ed with monuments, sometimes erect
ed by order Of the emperor"
