HOW REBELS ARE
 TREATED IN CHINA.
Hren. Women and Children Jeer the Doomed Men and Children Then
 Play Over Their Bodies.

Vancouver. B. O., Oct 21. According to the latest advices by mail from China eight subordinate leaders of the Kwang- ski rebellion have been beheaded at Wu- chow. They carried baskets through the principal streets as a warning spec tacle, amidst the laughter and jeers of men, women and children. The entire people witnessed the decapitation and made it 0 gala day. Little children copied their parents who joked at the dying rebels a second before the ax fell. When all was over, the children played among rha headless, bleeding corpses and made sport with the black, dis. figured heads. The mandarius, the headsmen, improyised sort of May pole and the heads of the rebels were placed on top and the children danced around them. The governor advised the mandarins to make the beheading as festive as possible, so as to inspire a disgust for rebels in the hearts of the people. 4 banquet was afterwards held.
 The Japan mail says petition has been sent to the government by foreign consuls requesting that beheading be discontinued.

At the Theater Tonight.

The play in which Nance O'Neil and
the Mckee Rankin Company opened
their season here was the powerful
drama from the German-Magda. 1t
is piece strong throughout, with
number of prominent characters, with
a slight touch Of the comedy and af-
fording especially good chances for
Nance O'Neil and Mr.. Rankin.
Magda will be repeated at the opera
house tonight and as finished and as
careful production as was the intro
duction of the company to Honolulu
will be given. The character Of Magda
is one remarkably well adapted TO the
talents of Miss O'Neil and one in which
her admirers like her very much.
The engagement Of this company for
a second short season has been en-
couraged by g number Of society and
business people of public spirit. and
there is much hope for success OF the
enterprise.

Nearly all Of the society people OF

Bennington last night for a hop given
by the officers of the dainty ship. II
was a very pleasant affair and there
was novelty in the trip to and from
the ship. The Bennington was well
lighted and a good dancing floor was
provided. The numerous decorations
included flowers and plants and flags
and signals besides portraits OF Pres

tinglIished Americans.

| \ telephone message was sent for

! could be reached Tator sent over TO
| Camp Mckinley for one OF the military

Wardel was quite dead. Late in the
forenoon the two town physicians who
had been summoned, arrived, but
there was nothing for them to do. The
burnings on the lips of the man indi-
Gated that he had drunk considerable
carbolic acid.
The carbolic acid was used for dis
injecting. There was four or six
ounce bottle of it. Tator last used il
in cleaning a thermometer. He says
that he then placed the bottle in the
glass in which he had washed the
thermometer. The acid bottle and
glass were so placed that it was neces-
sary for Wardell to leave the bed to
reach the drug. He undoubtedly
drank direct from the bottle, as no
trace of acid in a strong state could
be found in the glass.
A post mortem was held last even
ing Tator was present and was ques-
timed very closely by the military doc
tors and by Maj. Sague. The young
nurse made clear and direct and posi-
toe - oil
shown by the post mortem that War
CELL had used so mush of the acid that
he was severely burned inwardly
clear below his stomach. This means
a large dose of the poison without any
dilution.
There are several leading and
weighty facts to corroborate the
theory Of suicide, while many circum-
stances are lacking to establish to any
degree at all the assumption that
TatOr might have given Wardeu a
drink of water carrying the acid by
or that Wardell took the acid
by mistake.
Had Wardell made an error, he
would have called to Tator, whom he
knew could not be far away. Had
Wardell been given deathly solution
by error the drink could not possibly
have been strong enough TO make or
produce the effect that is shown by
the post mortem and his extraordin
airy illness would have been noticed
by TatOr before the nurse went to
breakfast One of the physicians who
is familiar with the case all through,
declares that such a solution as Ia
tor would prepare for disinfection OF
the thermometer would not have been
strong enough to kill.
The death of Wardell under the cir
created a tremendous SEN
sation amongst the soldiers and the
widest stories We're current at the
camps and upon the streets all OF yes

ed the belief that Wardell had COM
mitted suicide, but why, they could |
not even conjecture. Wardell was a |
young man and was we'll liked, though |
considered trifie peculiar. Many |
.hings out of the common that he said |
md did are now remembered and men |
iOned.
It may be added that the post |
n0rtem verified the diagnosis OF ty-
)hoid fever.

DINNER WITH VIC.

Eating Roast Beef With the Queen OF Eng
land-He Who Declines an Invitation
Never Gets Anotlicr-Go Plate is Used
and Sandwich is Net IA Meal
Those persons who have the honor
to dine with Queen Victoria receive a
note which reads something like this:
The lord steward is commanded by
her imperial majesty to invite Mr.
Carter II. Harrison to dine at Wind
sor Castle on Saturday, the twenty
seventh of November, eighteen hun
dred and ninety-seven, at nine o'clock
p. m, and to remain the night"
Enclosed with the invitation, which
is written with pen in old-fashioned
script upon a large card, is smaller
card, which reads:
"Paddngton Station, $40 p NJ
Please hand this to the guard"
1t is customary and necessary to re-
spond at once to an invitation from
the queen, and all other engagements
must be Cancelled. Nothing but scri-
Gus illness is considered a sufficient
reason for declinging to obey her COM
mands, and they are not issued to sick
persons Before the lord steward
sends out one Of these invitations he
takes care to ascertain whether the
person to whom it is. addressed is in
England and able to accept. The
proper form for acceptance Uisi u
en-. Carter II. Harrison accepts
with great pleasure the invitation of
her imperial majesty to dine at Wind
sor Castle at nine O'Clock on the even
ing Of November twenty seventh"
Upon arriving at Paddington sta
ton at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of
the dinner the guest presents his
card to the station master or one OF
cial car bearing the royal coat of arms
and furnished with unusual luxuri-
ance. Sometimes when there are a
number Of guests there is a special
train.
Gentlemen are accompanied by val
cts and ladies by maids, and the SER
wants have their own apartments in
the car.
The ride to Windsor on the quickest
trains occupies 40 minutes, and usually
an hour The distance is "a miles.
Upon arriving there the guests find
two or three footmen and other ser
wants. One footman is told off for
each guest, takes charge of his lug
gage. escorts him to his carriage and
looks after him, or her, if it is a lady
until he or she is safely aboard the
train, for London the next morning.
The entire party travels deadheac,
and the expense is charged to the min
lister of the household.
The lord steward receives the guests
as thew reach the castle and directs
them to their apartments, which in
cludes a sitting room, bedroom, a
dressing room and bath. When the
guest is a lady there is always maid
in attendance
1t is not considered proper to leave
the rooms until called for, and the
guests amuse themselves the best they
can.
Her majesty is the soul of plnctu-
atty She keeps her appointments on
the dot and expects her subjects to do
the same. If guest is ever late he or
she is sentenced to perpetual Danish
ment from the royal presence. No
matter what his rank or influence, he
never receives another invitation to
the castle. and therefore the attend
ants are in the habit of admonishing
guests as TO the necessity of bein &
dressed in time. They have fully two
hours and half after their arrival
