Gate Money for Chinese spooks.

New York Letter Chicago Times Herald.
The dead chinese got each yesterday
his annual dinner, which is to last him
wear and push him along toward the
common heaven of pigtails. GOOD paper
money was burned on the graves, for the
currency of the other world is a single
standard-the spirit .of cash. In that
land the ghost walks but once year.
Over sixty coaches, each one holding
from two to four gorgeously dressed
Cinnamon, left Mott street yesterday tor
the cemetery, and each coach contained
bundles of the offerings. When the
coats. trousers and paper money were
consumed a bunch of Joss sticks, light
ed. was stuck IN the earth at the head
and foot of each grave so evil spirits
might be warded off. 1t is the belief OF
the Chinese that the spirits of the Idead
ons1 gain entrance to the supreme heav-
en- bvGseven stages, after having Iappear-
ed before seven different judges. There
are toll gates on the road to the Chinese
heaven. and money is needed to pass
them.

place yesterday, and at noon there's oc.

phenomena. At that hour BLAZING bolt
about as large as aman's head descended
from the clouds and struck telephone
wire near the center of the town. When
the bolt struck terrific explosion
followed that shattered glass in the
windows of houses Two blocks distant.
Immediately following the descent of
this bolt came perfect shower of balls
of fire about the size of walnuts. This
rain of fire was general over the town,
and continued probably for ten min
utes. The balls resembled molten iron
and spattered when they came in con-
tact with the earth. Several roofs of
houses on which the balls fell were ig-
ignited, but the flames were extinguish-
ed by rain,i which began to tall heavily.
Probably fifty people were severely
shocked during the progress of the cleo
trio rain. While the balls of fire were
falling a strong smell of sulphur pervad-

the balls struck look as if iron had re-

The greatest terror prevailed during
the raini of fire. Many people thought

brownsville Cor. Chicago Record.
The democrats of Georgia are very
generally favorable to the nomination of
Vice-PresidenU Adlai Stevenson, as the
democratic candidate for President, al
though it is pretty early to talk about
such things, and they expect to see a
sontherner on the ticket with him,
Speaker Crisp being uppermost in their
minds. Mr.. Crisp is now regarded as
the greatest man in Georgia, and stands
we'll with both the silver and 1anti-silVer
factions of the democratic party, Both
sides claim him, and although he IS
probably sound money man at heart he
is not so extreme as to be offensive to
the other faction. Mr.. Stevenson has a
great many personal as we'll as political
friends in this partsof the country, and
having been born on this side of the
Ohio river is considered a southern lnan.
He has visited this section several times,
and is personally know to most of the
leading men of the state. The question
of Representative Sibley of Pennsylvania
as a silver candidate for president does
not meet with much favor, and is re-
garded as a method Of securing funds
for conducting an active silver campaign
during the next year or. so. No one
affects to believe that Mr.. Sibley is "a
serious candidate.

TAXATION IN CUBA.
Why the Havanese Find Spanish Rule SO
Irksome.


From the ST. Louis Glooe-Democrat.
When l returned to this favored land
after visit to Cuba, l smiled at the
controversy in the United States supreme
court over the impending income tax.
| thought of the unique genius that Spain
has developed in she maser of taxation.
She must have been in the very primi-
tive and infantile stages of political
economy 300syears ago, or she would
never have forcibly driven the Jews out
of the country. She would have taxed
them out. In Cuba: taxation is not only
a science, it is fine art. One native l
met said they wouldn't allow man to
take drowned person out of the Gulf
unless he;had stamp stuck on the
corpse! judge this was la pardonable
exaggeration, due to the natural exas-
peration every citizen feels when taxa
ton is the subject of conversation. But
the government evidently deserves the
severest criticism She derives, 1T is said
from 100000 to $4,000, 600 annually
from Cuba, and it is very largely Sc
cured by methods that keep the natives
in a chronic state of irritation. Every
man who has house to rent pays Spain
16 per cent. of the gross rent. If the
house is empty, and he puts sup sign
notifying the public to that effect, he
must pay tax of 1 cent word for the
advertisement, Some shrewd people
simply suspend key in front of ten.
antless house, and thus evade the tax.
A man pays tax of $500 year, as a
mere license fee, for running one of the
large stores. Spain seems to have com
bined Henry Georges theory with the
present method. They evidently tax the
land all.i will bear and then addition
ally tax everything they take off it, Their
system resembles the darkey's coon trap,
which was constructed to catch them
coming and going.

Miss Anthony Tells the Truth.

From the Savannah News
Miss Susan B. Anthony was frank
enough to tell the exact truth the other
day in Buffalo. when Ida b. Wells, the
colored woman who is lecturing to north
ern people about the lynchings of col
ored people in the south, was telling her
tale of woe to a Buffalo audience. Miss
Anthony, with great deal of vigor, de-
clared that the same prejudice against
colored people that is found in the south
exists in the north, and she quoted a
recent instance OF color prejudice in
Buffalo to sustain her statement.
What nonsense it is to insist that in
the north the treatment Of the blacks is
more liberal than in the south. Every
person who knows anything of the mat
ter at all knows that the colored people
find more kindness and consideration in
the south than in the north, and that is
why they stay in the south. There are
white people at the north that have a
vast amount of long distance sympathy
for the blacks. The want the southern
people to be brought into the most init
mate social relations with them, but for
themselves they wouldn't accord col
ored person a social privilege on any
account. They don't practice what they
preach.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 9.-[Speciall-
The grand jury concluded with the
Corbett training party at o'clock
today and they will return to San
Antonio this afternoon. Delaney
was seen after the examination
and stated that he knew absolutely
no more about the matter now
than he did before; that from
questions asked it is very evident
that the grand jury would attempt
to indict Corbett' and Fitzsimmons
and probably some member of the
Florida Athletic club for arrang-
ing a fight on Texas soil.
There is a wide diversion Of
opinions among lawyers here as to
whether the grand jury has any
right to take action on such mat
tiers as these, some claiming that
there is no legal authority or pre-
cedence for the action.

LABOR STATESMEN.
Illinois Federation of Labor in Con-
vention Assembled.

PEORIA, Ill, Oct. 9.-The Illinois
State Federation OF Labor began a
convention in this city Yesterday.
Mayor Allen delivered the address
of welcome, and President Riefler
responded. Remarks were also
made by Grand Master Sargent, OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, and N. c. Carter, editor
of the Brotherhood Magazine. In
his annual address, Charles j.
Riefler, Of Springfield, ILL.,, presi-
dent OF the State Federation, sub
mitted such recommendations as
experience and observation suggest
as practical to promote the pros
perity, extend the opportunities
and enhance the dignity of labor
in every industrial pursuit. In his
judgment the time is propitious
when there should be entered upon
and encouraged, systematic and
searching inquiry into the causes
whence emanate the ever recurring
periods Of financial panics and
commercial distress. He COM
planned that shrewd and .unscrupu-
lous politicians had floated into
office upon the raft constructed by
the labor vote in exchange for obse-
quious pledges, insincere as they
were prolific and running, political
tricksters give labor bare bone in
exchange for its suffrage. Mr..
Refer paid especial attention to
the "monopolist OF natural oppor-
tunities." He earnestly recon-
mended an energetic and vigorous
agitation in favor OF constitu-
tional convention in this state for,
he claimed, the masses are not per-
mitted to enjoy that degree Of lib
erty and unrestricted opportunity
warranted by our free institutions,
and we should, he said, have an
organic Jaw which will discrimi.
nate fairly and equally between all
classes, and do full justice to every
interest. He denounced legislative
corruption, and feared that labor
has no permanent relief to expect
from legislative sources.

NEW YORK, Oct. ga special
dispatch to the Herald from Ber-

is exceedingly well informed in
diplomatic affairs, and as regards
the views of the Emperor, made
this statement to me: "Our posi-
ton in Europe becomes more and
more enviable, and one would be
blind not to see it. France Is held
in check by Russia's Asiatic policy.
Russia's most important object is
the paralyzing of the great Asiatic
power, Japan, with whom she must
sooner or later clash arms. What
would become of Russia should
she not be friendly with Germany
during this engagement for life or
death? She is therefore absolute
ly forced to cultivate loyalty and
good understanding with US. 1t
is a matter of necessity which
causes this attitude. AS to Eng
land, she is so obligated as to make
most important concessions should
she desire our help. At the same
time, it gives US a good opportu-
nifty for imparting impulse to our

A Spanish Cruiser at Work.

HAVANA, Oct. 9.-Dispatches re-
ceived here from Santiago de Cuba
say that the government cruiser
Alcedo has been firing at bands OF
insurgents on shore, in the neigh
borhood of Cape May, at the east
ern extremity OF the island OF
Cuba, and it is added that on Sep
TENDER Goth the cruiser, while so
engaged, stopped steamer, be-
lieved to be the Alene, which left
New York on September 2lst for
Kingston, Savanilla and Cartha-
gena. The Alene belongs to the At
las line, and was flying the British
flag. The firing caused her to stop,
under the impression, it is pre-
sumed, that she was being fired
upon, but not receiving any orders
from the cruiser, and seeing that
the latter was firing toward the
land, she continued on her course,
apparently heading for Jamaica.
The Associated Press dispatches
giving the first news Of the stop
ping Of the Alene were held by the
authorities here.
The Spanish colony in Mexico
has notified the Spanish govern
ment that it has placed 500 mules
at its disposal, for use during the
