QUEER CHINESE CEREMONY.
Strange Rites 'st the Graves la Mount
Cuxes Cemetery.

CuVes Cemetery.
A delegation 81 Cinnamon visited
Mount Olivet cemetery recently and
in the presence of a crowd of onlook-
ers performed a number of rites over
the graves of their countrymel1 buried
there, says the Baltimore Sun. They
also visited the cemetery on the pre-
vious Sunday and wen through the
anne ceremonies. Usually they visit
the graves twice during the year, but
this year seem remarkably solicitous
as to the welfare Of their deceased
brethren. When the Cinnamon
reached the Chinese lot, which is in the
northwestern part of the cemetery,
they began to spread edibles of all
kinds on the graves. There were
chickens, pork, bananas and oranges.
A fire was built in a sheetiron oven,
which rested in the roadway not far
from the lot. When the fire began to
blaze high the Cinnamon gathered
around 1t and started to throw into the
flames huge bundles of papers, on each
of which had been inscribed different
characters. These papers are supposed
to bear misleading directions to the
evil spirit and enable the deceased to
cross in safety the river Styx. AS the
fire burned fiercely, some of the China
men hurried around to the different
graves and close to each headstone
planted a thin stick, on the end of
which was incense. The incense was
then lighted, but its perfume was in
part deadened by the smell of the
smoke, which by this time had become
almost binding. When all these
preparations had been completed, the
celestials started to perform the more
important ceremonies. They swayed
their bodies to and fro over the graves,
all the time holding their hands to-
gether and muttering unintelligible
words, but which were no doubt
prayers in the Chinese language. Next
they knelt at the sides of the graves,
still continuing their mutterings.
After a few minutes they arose, and to
the surprise of every one about, gath
cred up the edibles which they had

carriages. Usually at the funerals of
Cinnamon the food is allowed to re-
main on the graves, so that the de-
ceased would not starve on the jour
ney to the Chinese heaven. Another
feature in which the ceremonies diff
fered from the funeral services was
that cups of tea were poured over the
graves of the Cinnamon. Some ir-
reverent persons ventured the opinion
that the Cinnamon believed their de-
ceased brethren were thirsty and had
accordingly brought the liquid to
quench their parched palates. A num-
Der of boys were present at the cere-
monies and after the departure of the
Cinnamon unceremoniously carried Off
the incense sticks to a spot under a
shady tree, where they proceeded to
enjoy themselves watching the sticks
burn out.

OF THE OLD SCHOOL.
OLDEST LIVING GRADUATE OF
PRINCETON COLLEGE.
Typical OF the Gentleman OF other Days
and the Friend Of General Lafayette
Mr.. william c. Barker Has a Very
Interesting History.

There is an atmosphere of unaffect-
ed hospitality and unquestionable
comfort at Point Stuart" the villa
at Spring Like, Mich, of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. r. Hewlett, Of Grand Rapids, and
of the venerable father of Mrs. How
lett, William c. Barker. a typical old
school gentleman and probably the
oldest living graduate of Princeton
university. Mr.. Barker was born in
1907 at Natchez, Miss, his father a
New England man, being a merchant
and importer of that place. With the
coming of the war of 1912, Mr.. Bar
ker's father moved his family to Tren-
ton, N. ]. Just before he was II
years old the boy was admitted to
Princeton, and before he was 10 he
was graduated, standing second in
his class. He at once engaged in
mercantile life with his father and for
nine or ten years continued in that
%avocation, during which time he Wis
tied Paris five times, as a purchaser
of fine fabrics for Importation to the
United States. Having met Gen. La
fayette on the occasion of his visit to
this country as the guest of the na-
ton, and having received an invita-
tion from the eminent Frenchman to
call upon him. Mr.. Barker when he
visited Paris, called at the residence
of Lafayette to find that he was not
at home. However, upon the urgent
request. almost insistence of Madame
Lafayette, he remained as a guest

for dinner the next day. Moreover
during the remainder of his stay of
several months in France, he attend
ed, by invitation, two soirees at the
Lafayette home.
Upon n occasion, in 1882. when
returning to this country from Eli
rope, there were but four passengers
ON the clipper ship, and n of these
was Prof. S. F. B. Morse, who. DIR

spent much of his time in an effort to
evolve the dot-and-dash system after

alphabet in the perfection Of the cleo

warm friendship for Prof. Morse.

A geisha must be highly accom-

musician, she must be able to perform

dances, sings, and talks on the lightest
subjects, and always holds herself In

graceful, will not lack for employment
at any time, and generally makes a
very good living. While it is not at all
necessary for her to arouse mirth. her
object must be to beguile the time thai

happens that one feeling depressed will

Dewey once attended a wedding
breakfast at which the affable Baron
ess de Strive, wife of the Russian
minister at that time, was present.
Dewey had met this famous woman
several times before. The facial plain

belief, but she was one OF the most
brilliant, lovable and kindly women
ever elected to guide the social affairs
