THE Y. NJ. c. AS NEW YEARS


Lecture.
The Young Mems Christian Association
gave its annual New Years reception yes
terday afternoon and last night at the as,
ISOLATION rooms. The receptions given by
the association are always pleasant events
and the one last night was no exception.
Not much time had been spent in prepar-
ing the programme, and the greater part
of it was impromptu. Nevertheless, the
numbers were highly interesting and fully
merited the hearty applause accorded
them.
The reception began at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon. Refreshments We're served by
the Ladies' Auxiliary from to s O'clock
1t is needless to state this part of the
attention
Those who came in the afternoon passed
the evening very agreeably at checkers
chess, crockinole and dominoes.
The concert and entertainment was at
o'clock. An excellent programme was
rendered, opening with a piano solo by
Miss Dorset, followed by a reading Com
pulsory Insomnia, by Albert NJ. King; "a
Winter Lullaby" by Miss Howard 1.-THE
Little Game Called kissing, by little
Misses Rawls and Proctor; a violin solo
by Master Saul Brant brightly Shines
Miss Gurganus; Forget Me Not" by Mr..
William Calder,
The concert was concluded at $3.50
O'Clock. DR.. William G. Anderson of Yale
University gymnasium then delivered his
lecture on physical culture and its possi-
biities. The lecture was very instructive
and interesting, we'll as being intense
ly humorous, and DR.. Anderson kept his
audience conVulsed with laughter at his
bright and funny hits. He is the author of
many articles on physical culture, and
one of the leading authorities on that sub
ject. He has a school for physical culture
at New Haven, Conn, besides being pro-
fessor of gymnastics at Yale.
1t is not often that as pleasant a treat
as that given by the association last night
is enjoyed.

THE coLoRED PEOPLES DAY.
Troops and Civilians Parade In
Honor of CHARACTERIZATION.

Honor of Emancipation.
The annual parade of the colored mill
tary and civic societies in celebration Of
the emancipation proclamation. which
took place yesterday, was a very credit
able one. There was a good turnout of
the soldiers, including the cavalry and
artillery troops. A large number of car
riages containing members of the civic
societies followed the procession.
Three floats with notices on either
side. designed to tipify different stages
in the negro's history, were prepared, but
only one of them entered the parade,
that bearing the cotton bales, upon which
were two ragged negroes, and on the side
the words "'rhe Negro Before Enamel
patton" The second was designed to
represent the negro in 1865, just after
emancipation, and bore a lot of ragged
negro boys: while on the third were sew
eral well dressed negro boys The num-
bers that wanted to crowd onto these
two floats promised to break them down
early in the parade, and they were kept
out of it. 1t is said there We're objections
to their entering the procession also for
The military marched through the prin-
cipal streets and headed for the parade
ground where a salute was fired by the
Georgia Artillery. The soldiers then
marched back to the First African Bap-
fist church, where an interesting pro
gramme was gone through with. An ode
by l.. Bling was read by Rev. E. X. Love,
and the address was delivered by DR..
S. +. Lloyd, one of the city physicians.
The programme included many musical
selections under the leadership of ProfS.

MEXICAN CEMETERY
Where Graves Are Rented at the Rate
81 Per Month

From the Boston Traveller
A correspondent describes the queer
cemetery of the Mexican city of GUIANA
juato. There is hardly room in GUIANA
juato for the living, so it behooves
her people to exercise rigid economy in
the disposition of her dead. The burial
place is on the top of a steep hill. which
overlooks the city, and consists of area
lnelosed by what appears from the out
side to be high wall, but which dis
covers itself from within to be a recep-
tacle for bodies, which are placed in
tiers, much as the confines of their ma
tive valleys compel them to live Each
apartment in the wall is large enough
to admit one coffin. and is rented for 81
per month The poor people are buried
in the ground without the formality az
a coffin, though one is usually rented
in which the body is conveyed to the
grave. AS there are not graves enough
to go round, whenever a new one is
needed a previous tenant must be dis
turbed. and this likewise happens when
tenants rent is not promptly paid in
advance. The body is then removed
from its place in the mausoleum. or ex-
humed, as the case may be, and the bones
are thrown into the basement below.
