stating thaI the legations in Pekin were
safe and holding out on July .. is the first
news from the besieged foreigners in the
Chinese capital that has been given any
eredulity by the Government officials in a
number Of weeks. The Governor Of Shan
tung. who has supplied the information. IL
regarded as the most reliable OF the Chi
nese officials who have been SEEDING assur-
anees to this Government. The message
is as follows:
"Chefoo July is.
Secretary Hay, Washington;
The Governor (of Shantung) wires
me chat his courier has arrived Left
Pekin July and reports that az that
time legations we're stin holding out,
although besieged. FOWLER"
Secretary Hay is inclined TO believe the
message. which. while vague. at least is
intended to show that the legations had not
been burned on July 9. The feeling that
the Chinese Government is playing double
is now stronger than ever. as il is believed
that if other messages can be gotten out
OF Pekin. some tidings of Minister Conger
could easily be obtained While it is con-
fdentiy believed that Mr.. Conger has-long
been dead, the demand that this be con-
frmed by messenger has receive D.,
heed from the Chinese Governmeh
Secretary Hny ChagrIned.
Secretary Hay is, in fact much cha
grined al not having received any answer
to his query sent to Minister Conger
through the Chinese Government The
fact that alleged adviees are. frequently re-
ceived from Pekin by the officials only
adds 10 the disappointment as il is be-
lieyed that if the Celestials cared TO. they
could give definite news as 70 just what
had happened 70 the American Minister.
A dozen reports have been received
through runners in the past six weeks and
while ali of-these state that at different
dates the legations were standing. no word
as to the safety Of the ministers has been
given out, No more attempts viii be
made at getting word to Peha. bat the
allied roroes are expected sooa 10 discover
just what has occurred.
The department officials acknowledge
that the danger is increasing and that
other provinces may rise. An a,te:np: will
be made 10 reach Pesin before the trou-
bles extend over a larger area and make
an expedition an impossibuity.

CHINESE FUNERAL CUSTOMS.
Food, 1t Is Thought, Is Transmitted
by Their Ceremonies to the
other World.

The funeral rites of the Chinese are
but little understood on this side OF
the ocean. The believers in all three
of the predominating religions of the
empire insist that the souls of the de-
parted continue in conscious existence
after death and that their happiness
or misery is caused by the location Of
the grave and the offerings made by
their surviving relatives. The common
faith is that in the other world the
spirits needs are essentially those ex-
perienced in this life. The dead are
supposed to be wholly dependent upon
the living for food, clothing and
money. Such articles are thought to
be rendered invisible and transmitted
to the other world by means of fire.
When a man dies the clothing which
he wore during Life is Immediately
burned, so that he may not appear in
the other world beggar, without suit
able apparel. Great quantities of imi-
tation money, covered with tinfoil, are
consumed in the fire, with the object
of bribing the officials of the lower re-
gions to release the soul from purga-
tory. Paper houses, furniture, serv-
ants, everything to give dignity and
standing to the deceased, are pur-
chased by the family for this pous
holocaust. The important feature Of
the funeral is q procession, in which
the articles are exhibited, followed by
a bonfire in which all are burned that
thus they may be changed into sim
liar articles invisible to mortal eyes
Usually the chief piece is something
distinctive of the dead. In the case
Of sea captain this would be paper
ship, as large as possible. In the case
of general it would be horse.

LORD BOB'S LAWYER.
A Good Story of How the legal
Light Was "Hoist by His
own Petard."

John Douglas Forster, who was APP
pointed temporary legal adviser to
Lord Roberts and about whom a ques.
ton was asked in. the house of com.
mons lately, is probably one of the
best known men in South Africa. He
years ago went on the northern cir
cult, where he was a friend and con-
temporary of the late Sir Frank Lock
wood. However, after short English
experience, he settled down in South
Africa, making his home in Kimberley
in the days when Johannesburg was
practically unheard of. At the Ola
mond city" he was for a long time one
of the leaders of the bar and on W.
rious occasions he exercised judicial
functions on circuit as a commission
er of assize, says London exchange.
There is a good story of Forster's
once being hoist with his own Chinese
petard. He was defending a celestial
on charge of keeping a common
gambling house, and the defense was
that the game played was one of skill
and not Of chance. To demonstrate
this Forster obtained the consent OF
the court to All Sins giving a prac-
tieal exhibition of the subtleties oil
the game. Leave was given and the
! Chinaman proceeded to demonstrate
but protested that he could not show
the exact skill required unless some
one took a hand against him anC
played the game with reality.
This his counsel readily agreed tt
do, and staked some 10 or IS shilling,
on the table against an equal amour
staked by his client, and the spec
tators drew round to see the game O
skill. All Sin shuffled his cards, deal
them, played several, told his oppo
neDt what to play, and then, remark
ing me winnee," swept the whole O
the money into his capacious poke
amid the roars Of laughter of all pres
I ent in court which for the time bein
| was theater. Forster had the salts
faction of knowing that the fine ult
mately inflicted upon his client wa
lightened somewhat by the line of d.
tense adopted. Mr.. Forster is an EN-
0 nently clubable man and his societ
is greatly sought after at the Ran
= club in johannesburg, the Kimberle
= club and the Civil Service CLUB at Car

1t is questionable whether any con.
siderable number Of the changes in
the public laws upon matters covered
by that statute have materially i'm
proved the body of the statute law of
the state. In 1894 at great expense
to the state, our public laws were re-
vised under the title of Vermont
Statutes.
Two, sessions of the legislature only
have elapsed since this work was done
and yet more than two hundred and
seventy sections of that statute have
been amended or repealed.
The good legislator is the one who
votes against every. measure which
cannot be demonstrated to be a sub
stantial improvement of the existing
law
Permit me to suggest, that there
ought to be more of the needed legis-
lation accomplished in the early DAYS
of session and less of it postponed
to the end. 1t is within your power to
remedy this bad practice.
In conclusion, let me say that the
state is without the burden of public
debt. Peace, plenty, and prosperity
reign within our borders; for all which
We ought to return thanks to the Giver
of every good and every perfect gift
cherish the hope that the welfare
of all the people will be faithfully
uarded and promoted by you.
AS for myself, I am deeply sensible
of the responsibility which attends the
trust reposed in me by the citizens of
my native state. The measure of nv
ambition will be satisfied if the public
interest does not suffer at my hands
| Now, with firm reliance upon Him
without whose aid our labors are vain,
| let us devote our best efforts to the
business of the state.
