ed by Commander Case and staff,
and under command OF Past Com
mander. J. @. Lancaster. The line
of march was taken by way of Park
St. to New Hampshire Ave, CentralI
st. to Alabama Ave, to the grove
next to Owen Church where the ex-

The meeting was called to order
by Commander Hill, of Post SO, who
presided and who introduced Rev. r.

Then the Star-Spangled Banner was
sung by the Sequachee School Choir,
Mr. w. G. Hill presiding at the Or

An introductory address by Com.

ecdotes, possibly chestnuts, followed.
Then Comrade Patten, the popular
Quartermaster of the Dept, who in
his inimitable way convulsed his
hearers with quaint stories and loyal
sentiments, and he scored a success.
Then bright little lady, Miss Ava
Lancaster, daughter of Comrade J.
G. Lancaster, reclted the following
piece entitled "Our Heroes" grandly,
and was loudly applauded.
OUR HEROES.
When the clouds of war were rolling
Der the heavens, like pail;
When the solemn bells were tolling;
When the knowledge came to all
That unholy hands were grasping at
The Nation, then came the
Voice of Freedom, asking aid
From brave and loyal men.
Forth they came from hill and valley,
Came from field and crowded mart
Round the grand old flag to rally,
Every man to do his part.
Brothers babe farewell to brother,
Husbands kissed their wlfes goodby,
Sons went out from weeping mothers
When they heard that pleading cry.
In the ranks of war we find them
Marching to the southern shore.
Well they loved their homes behind
them,
But they loved their country more -
Onward went the brave true-hearted
Driving foes from fort and field
Many souls from bodies parted,
They could die but would not yield
Onward still! till peace descended
Like benediction, sweet,
And when all their work was ended
Laid their swords at Freedoms feet
Who such noble work can measure!
Who its value will make known?
They preserved the richest treasure
That the sons of men can own.
Some are sleeping where death found
them
Facing dangers far away;
Some have stately tombs around them
) Some are *resting here to-day.
Oh, for words to tell their story!
Tell it as it should be told.
Write it on the page OF glory
All IN lines of shining gold.
Speak it so that generations
;; May revere them as they ought
Write it so that other nations
! Learn the lesson they have taught.

WAGES IN CHINA.

In Spite OF Their Lowness the CeIestials
Wax Fat.
How Chinese workman manages TO
support his family and remain sleek and
fat ON the wages he receives is an ever
lasting mystery to the European and
American. The Chinese are a people Of
marvellous economy. They will support
a family. furnishing food. clothes. shell
ter, from a small garden which they
call a farm, but which in America
would not more than furnish an Amer
lean family with early Vegetables.
In cities the laboring men receive the
merest pittance. In Canton, where Ia
borers are better paid than in other parts
of China, skilled workmen live ON these
wages; Shoemaker, 81 per month;
blacksmith. So per month; fine ivory
carver, $l2 per month; tailor, 50 per
month; fine embroiderer, 81 per month;
designer, SO per month; silversmith, IS
per month.
The Chinese are superstitious. and
the workmen support, In addition to
their temples and pagodas and priests,
which receive more in proportion than
the churches of Europe and America.
idol makers, geomancers. fortune tell
ers, physiogDomists, soothsayers, astrol~
ogers and interpreters of dreams. who
exist by thousands and coin all the mon
ey they want Another thing which
makes money for a certain class is the
Chinese custom Of burning great guam
titles of spirit money" imitation
coins, which are supposed to be legal
tender for dead relatives. One city
alone employs 100, 900 people in making
this cash for ghosts.
Peculiar superstitions embarrass the
workman. For instance, carpenters and
builders have TO exercise great care IN
selecting a ridgepole for house. II
must have neither cracks nor knots, and
in it a small hole must be made and
filled with gold leaf and the whole
beam painted red. This insures good
luck for the owner of the house.
The tea trade employs thousands %
persons. The laborers receive from q
to $40 per month"; according TO theil
grade of work. Chicago News.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1897-09-04

THE colOred press of the country is a
unit in advancing the races interests
and yet tits not supported Is it should
be.
There are more people getting from
$40 to 500 per month who say they
are unable to pay $1.0O or $3.50 per
year for race journal than there are
persons who get from So to $50 per
month who are saying the same thing.
In fact, the question OF support or
non-support of the publishers of jour-
nails of this character rests with the
individual.
In the mean time, colored men con-
tinue to sacrifice time and money in
order to advance the interests of q
class, a large proportion Of which are
unthankiul and do not deserve the
treatment which they receive at the
hands Of the self-sacrificing editor.
