and it is now believed they have
everything in such shape that there
will not be the least danger of a
hitch In anyway The quarters for
all the visitors have been arranged
for; the hotels and restaurants as
well as boarding and private houses
are doing all In their power to as
sist the committees and they have
done so very materially.
The decorations which will grace
the city during the week will be
something out of the ordinary in
every way. On Wells street there
will be the two single arches, one

Elizabeth and the grand double
arch which will span the intersec-

REV. WHITES STORY.
In Regard 10 the Circumstances Of His
SuspensiOn From the Ministry.

I'm Regard 10 the Circumstances OF His
Suspension From the Ministry.
Morgantown, w. Va, Oct. T.
Rev. Charles L. White, late of the
Presbyterian church in Clarksburg,
this State, comes out in a lengthy
statement following his suspension
from the ministry by the Parkers-
burg Presbytery last week. Of his
meeting with Miss Holmes at a
Pittsburg hotel, he said: II found
her possessed with the idea Of tax
ing her own life. With her in such
a state of mind, I pursued the only
course that would prevent her do
ing so. She threatened to END it if
I left her or tried to inform any one
about her. All my efforts to get
her to return home or to take her
to her relatives were of no avail.
And it was not until the second
morning that I could induce her to
promise to return to her relatives.
She then said, II have come out of
my spell of insanity and see clearly
what 1 ought to be, and will take
the best of care of myself"
"She also expressed her graft
tude to me, saying, "Mr. White,
you have been so kind and good
to me-" The two nights l was
with her, 1 watched her and cared
for her like brother, having the
utmost confidence in her pure and
virtuous character. And had / not
a clear conscience in this regard, l
never could have gone through
this terrible ordeal which has come
upon me. Of course there is room
to cavil for those who would like
to doubt, but God knows this is
the truth"
Accompanying the statement IS
an explanatory note from the
committee of Parkersburg presby-
terry, explaining the charges con,
fessed to by Mr.. White, as follows;

evening forward until the end of

will experience one of the greatest
weeks it has ever known in its his
tory. The twenty-ninth annual
meeting Of the graud lodge of the

convention that order has ever
held in the history of its existence,

which have been made for the en-

houses, or at least a great many of
them, will make some very hand
some displays Already some Of
them have been putting bunting of
the Knights of Pythias colors in
their display windows and all of
them have secured banners and
flags, which will be used in great
profusion all over the city.
As has been stated in these COL
umns several different times it is
expected there will be from 1900
to 1000 people in the city during
three or four days of this week and
this will fill the city up to quite an
extent, although it is to be regretted
that more is not coming, as it
would be an easy matter to take
care of three or four times as many
people. The entertainment COM
mittee which has been in correspon-
dence with the various lodges in
the State claim that fully as many
people as has been Mentioned f'om
time to time will be here. From
Wheeling there will be two or
three companies of the Uniform
Rank with couple of bands in ad-
dition to the members of the grand
lodge and the members of the su-

whether they will be built or not

will be used for the decorations
and there is not the least doubt the

Among the Plain People of spain.

Every fifteen minutes ut least the
train would stop for five minutes at
small station. The platform was
always crowded with men wrapped in
long black overcoats, one end thrown
over their shoulder, and their heads
covered with sombreros or immense
soft felt hats. The women, in short
skirts Of bright colors, mostly red or
yellow, and tight. fitting blouses, their
heads covered with mantillas Of gay
patterns, were indeed most pictur-
esque They all came there to SEQ
who was on the train, to hear the
latest news from other stations where
we had stopped. Conductor, engineers,
and guards would leave the train, chat
with these people, tell them all they
knew, laugh with them. How hap
by, quiet, tranquil indifferent to the
struggles Of the world oil those men
and women appeared. i asked a mum
Der Of them whether there was news
from Cuba A sad expression would
come over their faces; they
would shrug their shoulders and
shake their heads, their big black eyes
would suddenly look into the distant
horizon, far, far away, as they said
"No, senior, no news. Cuba is bad
place. 1t takes the strong boys and
hard earned pesetas, and does not.
even give us news in exchange. Oh,
no; we do not hear, except when our
boys and our pasetas are needed"
Among the gaily attired crowd l be-
gan to notice, keeping somewhat
away, sad-looking women in dark
dresses. Were they mothers, wives,
sisters, sweethearts, mourning the
loss OF a dear one?--A. B. De Guer-

Bootblacks In London.

The force OF American demand is
being once more exemplifed in Lon
don by the placing at all important
railroad stations Of chairs in connec.
ton with the boOtblack brigade. This
work is undertaken by the Central
Shoeblack society. There is already
such accomm odation provided at
viaduct station. 1t appears that
American gentlemen visiting Londo n
express surprise that they are ex-
pected to stand while they have their
boots blacked, as they are accustomed
TO sit during the operation when at
home.
The society has sixty boys who are
lodged, taught and partially boarded
on the premises Of the institution, and
there is an ingenious allotment OF their
earnings into three parts, after an
allowance for food required out Of
doors, Qne-third being their own, an
other third the society's and the re-
naming third going to their banking
account, on which they can draw for
special purposes. London News.

PRoPlTlATlNc THE DEMONS.
Strange Chinese Ceremonial ON u Junk II
san Francisco HAY.


Strange Chinese Ceremonial on Junk II
san francisco Hay.
Many Celestials gathered recently at
Oceanic wharf to see the high priest.
Whan III, and his attendant acolytes,
embark on the junk Fung-Hi.
At l o'clock the joss. Kwong Coon,
was brought onto the wharf in hack,
accompanied by Whan III and eight
attendants, all in full canonicals. Plat.
ter after platter of Sweetmeats and
delicacies dear to the Monaghan palate
followed the joss along the wharf, to
the incessant squealing of reed in.
strument, played by one of the joss's
attendants.
Following the sweetmeats came
bearers carrying huge plates, on which
were varions roast pigs, ducks and
sundry vegetables. The ducks were
the strangest items Of the collection.
They were placed on the dishes in oil
attitudes some as il attempting to fly,
and others resting in dignifed man
ner on one leg.
At last, however. the procession was
in order, and move was made toward
the junk, the joss in the lead. When
the end of the wharf was reached, ut
a signal from Whan III, the idol was
lifted on to the junk and placed
against the mast, on which it leaned
with wabble in its legs suggestive Of
locomotor ataxia after three years OF u
sitting posture. Punk sticks were at
once lighted and placed ut the feet of
the Joss, and the roasts aud dessert
were then very carefully this time --
carried on board. Enormous bundles
of prayer papers completed the iunk's
cargo. and, after a large table had
been fixed up as an altar and few
prayers had been said, the high priest
ordered the ropes to he cast of and
the Fung Iii hoated out into the bay,
The vessel was gaudily decorated with
lanterns, tinsel and colored cloth, and
appeared to be worthy of the honor OF
carrying such q dreadful divinity as
Kwong Coon.
The Junk sailed out for about Il
quarter of a mile, and then the priests
began casting their bread on the
waters, believing that it would be
swallowed by the evil spirits, of whom
Kwong Coon is king, and 30 deter
them from eating up all the flesh.
Fowls, ducks, pigs and rice were
thrown to these demons amid deaf
ening din of cymbals and drums, and
the wondering Chinese on the wharf
lid obeisance to their deity which was
ont on the water. At 4 o'clock the
junk returned, and the priests and
their altar servants repaired to the
Joss house on Pine street, where they
conducted the closing services Of the
Kwong Coon festival, which will he
celebrated again three years hence. -

and ship Owners.
The business OF Acknowledgements
and spars for yachts has developed to Il
wonderful degree during the past five
years. So much so, indeed, has this
business grown that fully a dozen
firms, whose business was formerly

Of working vessels with spars, have
devoted tho major part Of their efforts
TO supplying the thousands Of pleas
ure craft along the coast and in the
adjacent waters with selected sticks
upon which to stretch their spread Of

The value Of these masts il far be-
yond the price that would appear ade-
quste from the point Of view Of lay
man. For instance, q mast similar
in size and quality to those OF the
schooner Colodis costs q sum equal to
that which supports many mechanics

neighborhood OF $1,000, while other
