Hoods pills cure headache and indigestion.


unpublished cymbals, and the storm of moi:
began. The horrible series of squeaks
from the one and the banging by, and
vocal monotone of the young priest went
on for fully half hour. Joss sticks were
brought out and lighted--dozens, yes
hundreds of them, and the air became
sickening.
In the contending conglomerate crowd
were scores OF women. Some were re-
spectacle and many were not. Two or
tree succumbed to the heat and excite
ment and partially tainted. They were
scene. One woman, in an effort to free
herself from a jam of unusual closeness.
struck out from the shoulder, landing a
blow on a mans face. Another woman,
though taken away from the open casket
by policeman. insisted upon returning
and even braved fourishing club in
order to gain her end. Some sort of
order was attempted that met with only
partial success. The proposed quick
passage past the body was interfered with
by the pushing and crowding of hundreds
from all sides.
The police had for aids reporters and
others, but nothing even suggestive. OF
order was evolved. 1t was almost free
fight for position. 1t was not free fight
simply because no blows were struck, but
everything that could be done to disturb
the Cinnamon, who were endeavoring to
pay the last respects to comrade and
fellOw-countryman, was done. The priest,
musician, attendants and even the police
men themselves were pushed about until
finally, the word was said and the in
struction given to abandon the ceremony
and proceed to the cemetery. The casket
was closed and again placed inside the
hearse and soon was on the way to the
burial ground, followed by about twenty
hacks and carriages bearing the Buddhist
nriocf tho n,Ioinian and the friends Of
the dead man. A carriage preceded the
hearse, paper prayers from it were gener-
ously scattered, thus driving the devils
away. The crowd rushed for the cars
determined to see the matter through.
Without going. into unnecessary detail
I it may truthfully be said that the crowd
assembled at the place for holding the
second installment Of ceremonies, and
near the place of burial, numbered fully
1000 people, and here the late disgraceful
scenes were re-enacted. A roast pig,
plenty of twong, candies, whiskey and
other material things were placed upon
the base of what answers to our idea OF
an altar. Immediately back of the altar
and upon pedestals the casket found a
second temporary Judgment on its way to
the grave, and the belongings of the de-
ceased, including papers, wearing apparel
and other goods, were placed in an oven,
which is a fixture of brick, cement and
iron, and which stands near the altar.
Hundreds of Joss sticks were placed be-
tween the roast pig with other edibles
and the casket. and then lighted. Liquid
of some sort was literally sprinkled at
the end of the base upon which was the
one hundred pound porker, and the squeal
the clangi and the chant then shivered the
ambient. yyiaiH
During the time taken in arranging
satisfactorily the, preparations, the thou
sands present, or very great number OF
them, repeated the tactics INDUCED in at
the Plaza. The single policeman was not
factor in producing order. number
of gentlemen attempted the role of peace
preservers and order evolvers, but it was
all Intellectual. The crowd surged round
the oven, they pushed priest and musi-
clan over onto the altar base, they
knocked the casket from the pedestals,
which, however, did not reach the ground,
for the surrounding Chinese quickly
grasped the casket's edges and replaced
| it upon the supports. The mass of
Christians was SO packed together
that it was impossible to see into
the crowd and consequently one could
not tell where the pressure originated or
with whom. One only knows that it was
those having the funeral in charge the
abandonment of all further effort to COM
plete the ceremonial. This suggestion
was acted upon. The panel was again re-
placed, for it had been opened to allow
the dead mans friends another opportu-
nifty to gaze upon the features, but which,
like the first experience, miscarried. An
umbrella and sun shade were placed up
on the casket cover, and the casket itself
borne to the grave which had been pre-
pared by ten or twelve Cinnamon. 1t was
there lowered and quickly covered with
earth. Returning to the altar the edibles
were found scattered over the crushed and

cen or twenty feet away. with hind leg
broken but not disjointed. Again there
was the wild rush for cars, many OF
which had been held in waiting, and then
came the ride back to town. AT seven
o'clock last evening a conductor who had
just left the cemetery stated to this
papers representative that "the grounds
are still Black with people who up to
this time have been unable to get away. =
The street car company ran yesterday
afternoon only one-half the number OF
cars to Westlake Park that it usually does
on Sundays, and correspondingly more on
the First.street line. This was found
necessary from the demand, and shows
that to large number of men and women
the planting of heather possesses a
greater attraction than listening to a
sacred concert in beautiful park.
And this is the history of the funeral OF
Lou Suey, and this was the behavior OF a
large number who, wedged into two
crowds, gave both the character OF rab-
BILE.
