JAPANESE FUNERALS.
Always Much Pcmp md Ceremony I'm
Paying the Last HOnOrs
TO the Dead.


To be buried with pomp and cere-
mony is the lifelong ambition of
Japanese. The higher the rank the
greater the display. When the en-
press dowager died in 1897 no less
than 100000 was appropriated from
the national treasury. The cere-
monies occupied several weeks, as
they were conducted according to an
cient usage.
A few days ago, says the Indianap-
oils Press, the funeral of a lady of
the higher class in Toxic was attend
ed by vast concourse of people and
with a large expenditure of money.
Large edifices were erected near the
family vault for the mourners. The
service was chanted by so Buddhist
priests, the principal of whom pro-
nounced warm and sympathetic ora
ton in memory of the deceased lady
whose noble character had won uni
versal esteem. Recently a CORE
spondent. while out in jinrikisha,
saw great concourse of people
assembled in front of a silk store,
and learned that one of the firm
had died, and this was his funer-
al. He hurried on and took a
position near bridge that led to the
temple. First in the procession came
body of men in gray TUNES, These
were followed by great number of
Japanese in their silllen robes, that
set off their fine, intelligent faces.
Then came the priests with their
shaver heads, over which men carried
large red Japanese parasols. After
these a company of men with queer
head-coyering of straw. like an invert-
ed bread basket, carrying in their
hands sprigs of paper lotus. About
midway in the procession was the
bier, made of implanted wood and COW
cred with royal purple drapery and
borne on the shoulders of eight men,
the mourners, on foot, looking like
so many girls going TO their first
communion, as they were dressed in
white. with white wells and carrying
in their hands dishes of rice, fish and
fruit. These were following by men
in white. bearing tree-like lotus plants
in wicker baskets.
The gold and silver paper flowers
reflected the morning sun and gave
color to this most picturesque process

bearing wicker baskets on long poles.
containing birds, that were to be
freed at the grave. symbolical of the
freeing of the spirit from the earthly
cage of the body. 4 band of music
added it's mournful strains as it
passed through a wall of japanese on
either side of the street. 1t was diff
cult to tell whether the deceased was
Buddhist or a Shintoist. as there
was blending of the ceremonies pc
culiar to these religions.

G. A. r. ENCAMPMENT.
Railroads Curtan the Coneessions Usu-
ally Granted 10 che Veterans.
(Boston Herald. }

Local Grand Army men who have
planned to attsnd the next annual en-
oampment, to be held at Chicago, may
be interested to learn thai the railroads
are not disposed to grant she usual oon-
cessions in the matter Of sranspor tntlon.
The rules which will govern the carry
ing OF the veterans have been made pub
lie, and are . surprise 10 many Of the
Grant Army men. The railroad officials
have agreed that number of material
changes from old methods shall be made.
In former times 1t was customary for the
tands that are taken along by the posts
to be carried free. This year 1t will not
be- so Formerly committees going In
advance TO secure adquartsrs were car
ried free: Tais year fares will be col
lecled. The agreement OF the railroads
to do away with as much as possible Of
their privileged business has prevailed.
and now all parties Of this kind that are
cal ried must be paid for at q csi tain
fixed compensation.
ahe rate nxed for the bands and the
advance committees is one-half Of the per
capita fare charged the posts themselves
In going to the encampment. As this
rate has been liked at one cent per mile,
the rate for the bands and the advanos
committees Ia therefore, one-hAlf q cent
per mile. 1t has also been provided that
the bands aud the committees shall ride
both ways on O solid ticket and that
bands shall be In uniform.
The committee to select o place for
headquarters is limited to one trip at this
rate. In selling the tickets the agents
are instructed to use the iron-olad form
Of ticket, which shall be stamped at the
Chicago end before 1t Is good for q re-
tarn. The late of sale for these tickets
Ia August 80 to 30. inclusive, and the
tickets are good returning August 81,
provided they are vtsed by the joint agent
as Chicago, for which fee Of rs cents is
to be charged. II 1t IL desired to have
this ticket extended 1t may be done, pro-
vided the ticket is plansd on file with
the joint agent prior to Septem Der 2, and
fee of 90 cents IL paid. Under these
conditions the ticket Is good returning
until Septem bar 80
Heretofore, the rivalry Of competing
