CHINESE BEGGAR CHIEFS.
one of the Peculiar Ecntnres OF So
cfnl Life In Chinn

one OF the Peculiar Features OF So
cinl Life In China.
One OF the most peculiar and inter-
esting figures in Chinese social life is
the beggar chief; and no less peculiar
ana interesting, both as to methods
and personal appearance are the mem
oers of the motley organization of
mendicants over which he reigns alb
solutely.
He is required to pay a sum equiva-
lent to about 500 to every newly-ap-
pointed tung hwan project, as a hum
Bile testimonial Of his allegiance to the
nigh authority from whom his badge
OF office emanates, and when this re-
Qulrement has been duly fulfilled he
is allowed to exercise the prerogatives
of his position without fear of inter
ference on the part OF the government
officials in the district assigned to him.
His authority over the beggars is abb
solutely unlimited, and they obey his
orders without hesitation or sign OF
protest
The Office is hereditary, so long as
the tribute is paid; but the Immediate
progeny OF the incumbent are debarred
from the enjoyment of any literary de-
gree. Why this condition is exacted
is not quite clear, but it is certain that
no descendant of a beggar chief has
ever held literary degree. However
the other privileges enjoyed by him
are SO attractive and the income is so
substantial that he probably does not
worry much over this one privation
How does he secure his income?
From the merchants and tradespeople
who know that unless they procure
from the beggar chief on or before New
Year day ''holo twa," or passport
of safety" their shops or ''hongs" will
be infested almost constantly by a
horde Of boisterous, impudent, impor-
tunate vagabonds, who will drive away
customers and damage the stocks of
goods without hindrance from the
regular authorities of the district.
Once a month, on day suited to
the convenience of the chief, he as
sembles all the beggars of his district
at the "khichia JAM" or rendezvous.
and distributes aims among them,
each receiving a sum commensurate
with his personal merits and obedience
