Account of q Chinese Mock Marriage Held
In New York.
A Chinese mock marriage took place
at st. Bartholomew parish house, New
York, recently. There were nearly 300
persons present, and they had all paid
25 cents to see the unique ceremony.
A Chinese orchestra played number
of selections. There were six men in
this orchestra, and they evoked fearful
and wonderful strains from their instru-
ments. When they were not playing.
they were tuning up, F" but the distlnc-
ton was entirely lost upon the audience,
which applauded everything.
At 8 O'Clock the bridal procession filed
in There were six ushers, and behind
them came the lovely Won Hal Chez,
which name means ''she who eats the
nightingales' tongues. :"
She was arrayed in dark skirt, and
her features were covered with heavy
red veil The happy bride was ''lugged
in" while seated in large sedan chair,
and the bearers of the chair were Amer
leans, who were evidently not "up in
carrying chairs of this kind. On the ar
rival of the bride the orchestra broke
loose again, and the two policemen on
duty in the room fed.
A shower of popcorn greeted the bride,
and two pages, carrying lanterns, waved
them before her. The bridegroom, in a
fur coat and attended by six men, was
manifestly nervous, but he did we'll and
is in good training for real ceremony.
The sedan chair in which the bride
sat was preceded by the matchmaker,
who bore the brunt Of the ceremony.
The bridegroom followed, and when
the chair had been set down he opened
the door, and out came the bride.
More music by the band' followed.
and then the bride turned over the keys
Of her trunks to the bridegroom. This
part of the ceremony seemed to have AN
celebrating influence on the groom, for
he promptly Opened wine, " so to speak,
pouring a dark red mixture from de-

chalice the newly welded pair drank.

A VERY Tall Yarn.

Rare instances have been reported of
one man being washed overheard from
his ship at sea and then carried back by
the same wave, but the collier Wachu-
sett has a quartet of that kind Of able
seamen.
For three days strong southeasterly
gale had been raging, and the seas ran
broken and rough. All at once it fell
calm. The ship lost way and tremen-
dous wave went sweeping over her. Ev-
cry man on deck was sent spinning, and
four of them cleared the lee rail.
No one expected to see the hapless
mariners again. They were lost to view
in swirling mass of foam for several
seconds, and then the wave which
threatened their destruction proved the
salvation of the men. The ship fell Oft
in the trough, and having no Roadway
on her the wave, full of tangled sailors,
came back again.
Three of them landed in a bunch on
deck considerably bruised and startled,
but otherwise all right. The fourth man
was farther out and missed connection
on that account. But the Wachusett
had listed heavily to starboard, and
with her yards aback the fore sheet pen
nant was trailing il the water.
The able seamen clutched the rope
and hing on. He was still far from
safe, bat managed to maintain his grip
on the pennant until line was thrown
to him from the deck.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

Scheme of Planting a Permanent Fishing
Colony on Hudson Bay.

Scheme of Planting Permanent Fishing
Colony on Hudson Bay.
City Engineer Baillarge Of Quebec
will soon place before the Dominion
government plan for the construction
of railway from Quebec to James bay,
the southern extension of Hudson bay,
and of the establishment at the latter
place of permanent colony of fisher
men and fishing vessels.
At the present time the only commu-
nication with James bay is by the long
sea voyage around - Hudson strait,
and owing to the difficulty of navigating
the strait and the few weeks in the year
that it is open it is now only possible
for fishing vessels and whalers to make
one trip every two years.
Statistics have been prepared that
show that the scheme, Notwithstanding
the enormous expense involved, affords
a margin for ample profit. Chicago

Carolina really has extraordinary
advantages for men Of enterprise
and capital. Bring a man into
the State with "the go We'll de

say, he "will get there The
South is forging ahead i'll min
ing, in railroads, in manufacture
ing, and it is attracting no little
attention to the North of us.
Some of the States are rich in
minerals and particularly i'll iron
ore. Probably Alabama leads
i'll this. The State has produced
much and has vast sources of
supply. Only the other week
a firm at Admission, Alabama,
made a contract to furnish $4,000
tons of cast iron pipe for Yoko>
homa, Japan. Think of that.
The Baltimore Rer0, a thinks that
it was "Without doubt the largest
iron contract ever made bv any
American concern for foreign
shipment. Thirty Thousand tons
of iron pipe against the worlds
competition, Alabama a1lt! the
South may we'll boast. The
South now takes the lead in
driving for foreign trade
The iron deposits in that State
are said to be vast, almost mex
haustibie. A Southern exchange
recently said that it had enough
iron ere to supply the world for
centuries to come. 1t is also rich
in coal and of the best. Both its
iron and its coal are sought now
by buyers beyond and far away.
North Carolina has both coal and
iron and in the Cranberry section
the iron ore of fine quality
greatly abounds.-Wil. Messen-
