CHINESE CEREMONIAL
The Strange Rites of a Week Brought to
End

an End
The Chinese population of the city has
been lndulging in a peculiar religious
ceremony over the graves Of their depart
ed ones for several days past. of which
yesterday was the principal occasion.
The ceremonies embrace religious rite
performed by burning colored papers at
night and spreading tempting viands on
their dead countrymen's graves by day.
At IL o'clock yesterday Gaily decorat'
ed throng of celestials repaired to Ever
green cemetery. where they were met by
wagon on which was loaded tray con-
tanning a roasted pig, surrounded by q
conglomeration of cakes ana nuts, anu
many unspeakable dishes unknown 10
the American culinary art, but no doubt
very relishable to tho departed spirits
from the f1owery kingdom. The graves
are first cleared of all rubbish that may
have intruded upon the sacred ground,
and the feast is then spread upon them.
Around the whole are scattered small
billets O. paper of different colors. which
are then burned. the idea being to furnish
an elemental garment for the dead rela-
tives, that they may not lose their rank
in the upper world. The amount of paper
and it quality depends upon the rank of
the one for whom it is burned, and it
is frequently ooloTed in the STYLE of the
garments worn by the man while in the
land OF the living.
When complete aerial wardrobe has
been furnished, the spirits are supposed
to have partaken of all they desire OF the
edibles. and the remaining portion Is
taken back to be feasted upon by the sur
viving relations.
At night the paper offerings are aga in
burned, and many punks also, to give
the Offering a proper flavor.
These strange rites are repeated thl ee
times a year-once in February, again in
August, and finally in November. In
emma this year they have been more
elaborate than at any previous time in
the nations history. owing, it is said. to
the great number who were killed in the
recent war with Japan.

The Young Woman Is Now in San
Francisco
Hazel Woods. the story of whose disap-
pearance from Bakersfield was published
recently in The Herald. has ct last been
located. The young woman Is now in Sn n
Francisco. but what she is doing or who
she is with is only a matter of conjec.
ture.
She wrote to her mother. Mrs. Beighsl,
in this city, several weeks ago, saying
she would leave Bakersfield for Los An
geles within few days, but since then
Mrs. Bieghel has heard nothing and her
have apparently been realized.
All that has been learned thus far
about Miss Woods is to the effect that.
instead of coming here from Bakersfield,
she went to San Francisco. She was not
at the last advces employed at any of
the variety theaters of that city, nor is
she with her husband, Ed Foster.

Miners Return from EuroDf

One of the surest signs that
good times are at hand for the
northeastern portion OF Mime.
sofa is the fact that miners who
went across the watei to their
relatives in. the times of great
depression are returning and
asking for their old positions.
They say that conditions in Nor.
way, Sweden and Finland do not
compare with those that prevail
here now. Labor at the mines
is not so scarce as it was a few
a few weeks ago, and both the
Vermilion and Mesaba ranges
are in a very satisfactory condi.
ton. The cessation of ore ship.
ments and the return of hands
from the harvest fields have
made it possible in the past two
weeks for the mines to get what
they want in the way of labor.

THE LIP in POLITICS.
How 1t rIay Affect the Fortunes of
the Democratic Party.

The other day we were compelled
to animadvert upon one Eugene V.
Debs, now in Jail at Woodstock, Ill.,,
for conspiracy against the public
right and interest, who had declared
that the Democratic party is corrupt
and unworthy of confidence.
On the same day that Mr.. Debs
was thus consigning the Democracy
to condemnation Mr.. E. c. Benedict
of New York, who had just returned
from Buzzards Bay, announced that
he was not only in favor of the single
gold standard, but that the Democrat
ic party must declare in favor of the
retirement of the greenback currency.
When asked if he thought the Demo
Gratis could be brought to the point of
declaring for single gold standard
and the cancellation ofthe greenbacks
Mr.. Benedict compressed his lip
slightly" and said: They had bet
ter if they know what's good for
them"
Why did Mr.. Benedict compress
his lip only slightly? Why did be
not compress it hard enough to keep
his mouth shut? But it was his and
Debs' day to talk and they both util-
lied it in favor of a third party. II
think, said Mr.. Benedict, 1.-The time
has come when there has got to be a
new party" He thought both the
old parties unworthy of confidence,
and believed it necessary for the
sound men" of both the old parties
to get together to carry ''souud prin-
ciples' to victory.
Already we can see the Democrats
of this broad land hesitating as to a
definite course of party action until
they hear what Benedict is doing
with his upper lip.

The Bloody Shirt.

A well-known Confederate,
James B. Clay. grandson of Henry
Clay, talking of the Kentucky cam
paign said:
Il see Hardin is waving the bloody
shirt; you ought to ask him what he
knows about war. Was he ever in it ?
and what did he do toward defending
the South that he processes to love9
We old soldiers don't take any stock
in this bloody shirt business. The
wal ended at Appomattox over 80
years ago. The issues that existed
in 81 are all dead, and all that the
old soldiers care to remember about
the war is the splendid valor and
noble manhood that those times
brought to the surface in the armies
of both sides. We have no patience
with the waver of the bloody shirt,
and if General Hardin thinks he will
get the vote of the old Confederate
soldiers in this way he is badly mis-
taken. We believe in theutmost free
dom of speech and will not indorse
the methods to be used to prevent
Bradley from making a gentlemanly
canvass.

Charleston Evening Mail.
Since the enactment of the new
school book law by the legislature
last winter it has been much nooted
question whether or not the various
companies, whose books were named
in the bill would accept at the prices
fixed in the bill Several illness it
was stated that the companies had
all come in out of the wet, and the
necessity for the appointment of a
commission by the Governor, would
be obviated. The law provides that
in case the companies named in the
law do not accept the terms then there
is to be designated commission, who
with the State Superintendent of Free
Schools, are charged with the duty
of supplying the books so forfeited.
September was the li,sit of time
fixed in which the acceptance of the
terms of the bill could be received.
That day being Sunday the report OF
the State Superintendent of Schools
to the Governor could not be made.
Information from the office of the
State Superintendent of Schools is to
the effect that the following publish
ers have accepted the terms of the
law:
D. c. Heath & Co., Thompson,
Brown & Co. and CHM & Co., of Bos-
ton; ]. B. Lippincott Co., E. H. But
Ter & Co., and c. Sover Co., of Phila-
delphia, and A. Lowell Co., of New
York.
The American Book Co., publish
ers of McGuffey's readers and speller.

algebras, ETC., have failed to enter
into new contract.
State Superintendent Lewis and
his assistants are at work upon the
official report to the Governor. AS
soon as it is completed it will be
placed in his hands. Then will fol-
the Governor action in appointing
a board to provide the deficiencies.
No information as to who will be
appointed has been given out as the

Providence, Sept 5.--Five employees Of

death in the cellar OF the Wcstfield street
gas holder yesterday afternoon. asphyxia-
ton by gas being the ca,ise. The nam,s
of the dead are:
The dead men were named Riley, Nc
Manus, Burns, McNamcc and Cotton. Tho
first two were married, Riley leaving a
wife and six children.
The accident was a peculiar one. For
several days leaking gas has been detected
in the holder, and yesterday the company
sent six men and foreman to repair the
leak, which proved to como from dcfcc-
tive valve connecting the four inch main
which supplies the Westdcld street holder
with gas from the main holder on Globe
street. Tho men had just returned from
dinner, and mt o'clock went down the
wooden stairs which led from the entrance
Of the holder to the cellar below and began
to work on the broken valve They dis
ronnected it and tied cloth bag about the
large main extending in from the street,
when the bag gave way and an immense
volume of gas rushed out. In less time
than 1t takes to tell ii all were overcome
with the exception of one, who managed
TO grope up the stairs whore the fresh air
enabled him to recover sufficiently to reach
the street
Immediately after IL became known that
the men were there and unable to get out
willing hands attempted 10 go to the res
cue, but nothing could be done while the
escaping gas rushed up the stairs. Fore
man Charles Allen did all he could, but
there was no cut of in the street and he
knew not what WAY 10 turn. The police
were quickly on the spot and roped off
Westfield street, and Medical Examiner
Palmer stood In the doorway TO prevent
anybody from going down the Stair.
At the foot OF the stairs lay one Of the
men, who had almost reached the bottom
stair when he was overcome and sank back
with look Of anguish on his countcnance.
Soon after 3 o'clock the gas company sent
gang of men to dig UP the street TO get
at the main shut OFT further along, IL being
understood that no other means OF shutting
off the gas could be attained, and even
then it meant two hours work. Foreman
Allen took hand In the excavation and
was overcome before the digging had pro
ceeded far. He was taken 10 the Rhode

Another Idol Shattered.

Colonel John F. Porter, veteran OF
the Union army, in conversation about
the errors Of history, stated that one
Of the grossest was the story which
has been immortalized in verse OF
Barbara Fritchie waving the Stars
and Stripes from her window as the
troops of Stonewall Jackson marched
through Fredericktown, Md.
Colonel Porter was Provost Marshal
of the district that included Frederick
town, and knew Dame Frtchie we'll.
She was intensely loyal to the Union
cause. The home stood on Patrick
street, and, according to Colonel Por-
ter, Jackson's army did not enter Pat
rick street, the march being north
ward on Market street, two blocks
away.
The only Confederates Dame Fritchie
saw that day were few strangers
who gathered on her portch and tried
to fiirt with her two pretty grand
daughters. These the dame drove
away.
