Married TO a Flower Vase.

Among the curious marriage customs
prevailing in China Is one which Is thus
described by writer In the Family
Herald:
Not long ago very pretty girl, the
daughter of O prominent Chinese OIL
cial, was married with great pomp to
a large, red fower-vase, representing
a deceased bridegroom, who had died
a few days before his wedding was to
be celebrated.
His inconsolable bride-elect declared
that she would never marry any one
else, but would devote herself as a
widow to the dead mans family. So
the ceremony with the Aower.vase was
gone through with to enable the girl tc
enter the family, and the town pro
poses to build an arch to commemor
ate her devotion.

The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1898-05-19

IT is estimated by experts that, in a
fight between the Indiana and Spain's
mighty ship of war, the Pelayo-a very
fair match--with 500 men Oh each side.
each vessel would have about thirty
killed and 12O wounded in the first
twenty minutes. This, of course, would
be only the beginning. In the naval
engagement Of the Yalu, the Chinese
battleship Chen Yuen lost $50 men out
of total of AGO, or about rs per cent.
An encounter between the Pelayo and
the Indiana would be such combat as
has never been seen on the water,
transcending in ferocity aud fatality
anything of the kind recorded hitherto.
The American battleship is able to
throw every minute one 1l00-pound
shell, three of $50 pounds each, two of
100 pounds, fifteen of go pounds each
and twenty of pounds. The HOO
pound projectile, fired from one of the
four l3-inch guns, strikes with an
energy of 5000 foot tons-force enough
to lift the Pelayo bodily two and oDe-
half feet. If the commander wishes,
he can SO connect the batteries with
wires as to fire all the guns simultane-
Ously, striking the adversary with such
a tremendous storm of projectiles that
Ito ship could very well stand up
against it. But the Pelayo is as form
liable vessel as the Indiana, and she
could return blow for blow, if equally
well manned and managed.

OLD SONG MADE NEW.

The Spanish navy bold,
Around the Philippines we're told,
Commanded by the fighting Montejo;
With treacherous Spanish men
Who said that they could then
Lick the Yankee soldier pigs SO handy oh.
When our ships they hove i'll sight,
Says Montejo, we must fight
Prepare We then for action and be handy oh,
And on the weather side We'll get them,
And to make our men fight better
Then Montejo loudly cries.
Make those Yankee pigs your prize,
You can in thirty minutes very handy oh,
For twenty fve's enough, Pm sure,
But if you'll do it in a score
I'll treat you to double share of brandy oh.
Oh, the Spanish shot flew hot,
But the Yankees answered not
Till they got within distance they called
handy oh.
Now, says Dewey to his crew
Let us see what we can do.
And if we take these boasting Spaniards we're
the dandy oh.
When the first broadside we shot
The spaniards thought it duced hot,
And made the Spanish Admiral rather huffy
Then Montejo shook his head
And to his officers he said,
Lord, did not think those Yankee pigs SO rude.
OuI SECOND tOlu So well
That they thought it almost hell,
Which doused the royal enough quite handy
oh;
By George, says he, we'er done
And they fred side gun,
While the Yankees struck up Yankee doodle
dandy OH
Now Cuba must be free,
And then we agree
To stop our fighting which is so handy oh;
Old Spain can toast her fill
1ak< to ~ 11nkst
The Yankee boys for fighting are dandies oh.

much corruption is associated with the
assessments and collection of taxes as
there is iii Chicago. So fragrant are
the abuses and the inequalities of taxa

AN ANGLO-sAXON ALLIANCE.

The attitude of the continental pow
ers Of Europe continues to be hostile to
the United States i'm its war for hui
manity against Spanish tyranny and
aggression. They are sharply watch
ing each days events in the eager hope
of finding some pretext for interfer-
ence, not because they have any great
love for Spain, but because the spirit OF
old world institutions is opposed to the
nobler spirit of liberty and equality be-
fore the law which in little more than
a century has made the first republic of
the new world as mighty as the might
lest among the nations of the old. Not
only DESTROYS, but anxious that the
United States should not become q
great maratime power, they view with
ill-concealed concern every formidable
addition that is made to our navy and
display spirit of jealous resentment
over every victory that we achieve
upon the seas. And they are especially
incensed and alarmed at the daily
multiplying evidences of British
American alliance, in spirit if not in
truth. This feeling has been greatly
intensified within the past week by the
significant speech delivered at Birm
ingham, England, last Friday evening
by Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary
of state for the British colonies and one
of the most prominent members of the
Salisbury ministry.
Referring 70 the policy of strict isola-
ton that England has pursued since
the Crimean war, he remarked that
this has been perfectly justifiable,"
and added, "the time has arrived when
Great Britain may be confronted by a
combination of powers, and our first
duty, therefore, is to draw all parts of
the empire to close unity, and our next
to maintain the bonds of permanent
unity with our kinsmen across the At
lantic. There is a powerful and gen
erous nation using our language, bred
of our race and having interests identi-
cal with ours. would 60 so far as to
say that, terrible as war may be, even
war itself would be cheaply purchased
il i'm great and noble cause, in which
the Stars and Stripes and the Union
Jack should wave together over an
Anglo-Saxon alliance. It is one of the
most satisfactory results of Lord Sails
bury's policy that at the present time
these two great nations understand
each other better than they ever have
done since over a century ago, when
they were separated by the blunder of
a British government"
Coming from such source at such a
time these utterances are highly signifi-
cant, and it is almost equally note
worthy that they are most cordially
commended by the great papers of the
British capital, one of which remarks
that "there is not the smallest reason
to suppose that his convictions are not
shared by every member of the cab
met"

YOUNG JOSEPH LETTER, of Chicago,
is said to have cleared over 5000, 900
by his astonishing operations in the
wheat market during the past year,
and the gain to the wheat producers
through the high prices that he Gre
ated is estimated as high as $3.50, 900, 900.
Populist farmers who have had wheat
to sell during this period have been un-
usually quiet on the subject of trusts.

THOSE who point with alarm to the
of foreign-born among our sea-
men may be colnforted by a few Brit
ish figures. Great Britain is supposed
to have a tolerably efficient merchant
marine, but, according to Brassey's
Naval Annual, of 5000 men therein
only IS 900 are of British birth.
