He PoIishes the Bones of Dead CeIes-
tiaIs and Sends Them to China.
Mr.. Chung is a contractor in the employ Of
the Chinese Six companies of San Francisco,
He entered into a contract eleven years ago to
travel all over the United States and exhume
the bones of Cinnamon. All Cinnamon who
come to this country have q contract with the
Six companies that, in case of death their
bones shall be returned to the Flowery king
dom, and Mr.. Chung is the man who person
says the Ellensburg, Or, Register He is
intruSted with the task of keeping track Of
the dead Cinnamon, taking their bones out of
the grave, aud shipping them to Climatic
only place, according to their religion, where
they can find absolute resi-. AS he is under
$50 coo bonds to do the work we'll it is need
less to say that he is careful. He brings two
assistants from San Francisco, who do the
rough work. He had with him, when ne
came here the names of four celeStials three
of whom died here in 1889 and one in 1892.
All Of these will be exhumed and shipped. DR..
Gray, the health officer, having supplied the
certificate that none died of contagious dis
eases.
Chung's contract says that he must not
get the bones mixed; that each individual set
must be cleaned, put in white muslin bag
and then be boxed securely for shipment
across the Pacific. He is not allowed to cut
saw or break bone, nor can he boil the bones
to get the flesh Off on penalty of forfeiture
of his bond He says that three years serve
to do away with tho lesh but they are gem
orally allowed TO remain In the grave longer
than that in order to make sure OF a clean
job when he goes at 1t. Each set of bones
Is labeled, and record Is kept Of them. All

tons have been collected they are put on a

PIER Line EXTENSION.
Harbor Line Board Sends New
Jerseys Petition to the
Secretary of War.

The Riparian Commissioner of New
Jersey received this morning a commu-
nication from Colonel H. M. Robert, U.
S. A., chairman of the Harbor Line
Board, in relation to the petition of the
Riparian Commissioners, the Hoboken
Land and Improvement Company, the
Hoboken Ferry Company and the Hobo
ken Steamship Companies that the out
side pier line on the Hudson River be
extended 200 feet.
Colonel Robert said that the Harbor
Linz Board had decided to forward to
the Secretary of State for War, General
Russell A. Alger, New Jerseys petition,
and the Board had recommended to the
Secretary that he Quiz approve of pub
lie hearings being held at an early date
to awe the matter investigated, as in
the case of New York.
General Alger, it is confidently believ-
ed, Win refer the petition to the Harbor
Line Board, who will then advertise the
date for hearings. When these are fin
ished the, Board will send its report to
the Secretary of. War, and he will finally
decide Since, it is said, Vice President
G.. A. Hobart. Governor John w. Griggs
and u. S. Senator w. ]. Sewel are all
in favor, of proposed extension it's APP
proval by the Secretary of War is a
foregone conclusion.
When the desired permission comes to
run out New Jerseys pier line 200 feet
more, making in all 500 feet from the line
of solid filling, a great change will take
place in the trade on the New Jersey
side of the Hudson. The Erie, Pennsyl-
vania, D., 1. & w, West Shore, Sus-
quehanna, Baltimore and Ohio and Cen
trail Railroad Companies will at once take
advantage of the increased pier n and
run out their piers, build up their ware
houses and carry out their tracks to the
waters edge. Indeed, all the trunk lines,
with frontage on the river, will benefit
by the Improvement since with increased
facilities for docking, berthing, loading
and unloading of the longest steamers,
more of the worlds merchandise will find
its way to the New Jersey shore, and the
railroad companies will be needed to
tranship the cargoes. In this respect New
Jersey has an Unreasonable pull over
New York, and it was in some way to
counteract it that the Dock Board OF that
city asked recently for permission to ex-
tend their pier line from 500 to 700 feet
along the river. Their request was grant
ed. but New Jerseys recent move Will
scheckmate any greedy scheme of Manhat-
tan to take away New Jerseys trade.
