urday, when he is said to have passed
a bogus silver dollar on an Italian fe-
male peddler by the name of Barbara
Abraff. The youth met the woman In
store on Arcade street, near Bohn'ss
ma anufacturing plant, and purchased

the counterfeit coin and receiving rs
cents change. The woman later sus-
pected the nature OF the coin and in
formed the police, who turned the mat
ire over to Capt. Walsh, of the Unite1

TALKED MOST HOPEFULLY

One of the most satisfactory sessions yet
was held by the st. Paul Equal Suffrage
association at the parlor Of st. Paul ~Com-
mons yesterday afternoon.

w. G. T. U. unions to secure cooperation
in suffrage work, and to see that each union
calling on three unions, Central Lady Semer-

pressed sympathy in the work, and the Som

work. Mrs. Warner will appoint a county

DO NOT LIKE AUTOPsIEs.
Cinnamon May Decline to Bury Their
Dead Countryman.


The autopsy held over the remains
of Lu Quong. the Chinaman who com
lnitted suicide Monday at a st. Peter
street laundry, developed the fact that
Quong died of opium poisoning. Aside
from this fact he was in good health
before his death.
The autopsy was held at the under
taking rooms OF Fred Dohn1, 2e8 West
Third street, and was attended by Drs.
Mcnamara, Dohm, Finnell and Coroner
Whitcomb.
Yesterday the Cinnamon were work
ed up to the highest pitch of excite
ment over the autopsy. 1t is part
Of their teachings that it is one of the
most terrible sins possible to cut the
body of the dead. They asked Coroner
Whitcomb to forego the examination,
but that official could not see the mat
ter in the same light. There are some
people who profess to believe that Lu
Quong did not take his own life, but
was murdered, so he decided to hold
the autopsy.
The Chinese believe, and very firm
ly, that poor Quong. when he makes
his appearance In the hereafter will
bear visible evidence of the treat
nlent he received at the hands of the
physicians on earth after his death.
These will handicap him in his efforts
to get the favor of the gods and make
him the object of rfdicule and derision
from his more fortunate brethern on
the other shore He will not, they con-
tend, receive recognition even at the
hands of his relatives who have gone
before. They will pass him by, SCARED
as he Is, without notice.
Lawyers were consulted to see IL
1t was not possible TO stop the autopsy
sb1t they advised that the coroner has
y the uIlquestioned right to order an

that no ma tier how earnest the opposi-
ton he cannot be stopped. It was held

Called to His Long Rest.

Edward Munns, of West St. Paul, has, after
long suffering, been called home to lasting
rest. He leaves a sorrowing wife and six
chi1ifen who, with full hearts, followed the
beloved father to the graveside, surrounded
By the many loving friends of the deceased.
Seldom is a man so generally beloved and es-
teemed as was Mr.. Munns. Although natur-
ally a reserved and quiet man, whoever knew
him Intimately became his firm friend.
He was born in 1888 in Perth, Ontario,
where at early age he learned ship build
ing, and through a long life followed this
occupation. But Mr.. Munns had ever
great love and marked talent for drawing
and painting. At nineteen he drew and paint
ed a portrait of his father, and though he
never took any lessons, devoted all the spare
moments of a busy life to this art, painting
many pictures of merit
In 1868 Mr.. Munns married an esti1nable
lady of Deseronto. In 1876 he removed to
Smithf1eld, where he was postmaster for six
years. In 1884 he came to ST. Paul, residing
here ever since.
Mr.. Munns was vestryman in the West Side
Episcopal church, and in other churches
wherever he lived.
