MISSING MAN LOCATED.
Alfred Welch, Government EypIOye,
Seen in New York.


Mr. Alfred WEIGH. the government print
ing Office employe. who disappeared from
this city last August. was met on Broadway
near Union Square In New York city this
week by Mr.. Jos. Day, who Is also an en-
ploye in the government printing Office.
Mr.. Day was well acquainted with him be-
fore he left the city, and asked many
questions regarding his reasons for leaving.
but could not get a satisfactory reply. The
sudden disappearance last August caused
much comment and anxiety among the
friends of the family. Mr.. Welch's wife
lives at 1879 f street northeast with the
children. She has heard nothing from him
since he went away in August.
Mr.. Days theory is that Mr.. Welch is
suffering from a lapse of memory. Some
years ago he was injured while working in
Il b!ndery at Albany. n. y. and often suf-
fered severe pain from the injury. This is
very probable, as he claimed to have no
recollection of leaving Washington. He said
that he had been working in New York for
some time. but could not say just how long
and had some difficulty in recognizing his
old friend. He said that he had been under
treatment for his injured ankle for several
weeks He was limping painfully and
leaned Quite heavily upon the cane which
he carried.
He had always been looked upon az a
steady, temperate man OF good character
This tends to make his actions more
strange. His business affairs were in good
condition. He had no family troubles that
would warrant his leaving home and work
without an explanation to some of his
friends. Lapse of memory is the only
theory that is at all plausible to account
for his actions. He is favorably known in
Albany. N. Y, where he formerly worked
He has many friends in Washington and
New York also. His wife and family are
anxtously waiting for some word from him.
that they may bring him home and give
him the necessary care and nursing to
hasten his reco% cry. They have hopes that
he will write before the end of the week
but his state OF mind seems to be very un-
certain. and as yet they are compelled to
rest upon hope,

A Japanese Galsha Girl.

A geisha must be highly accom-
nlished, because her chief duty Is to
amuse. While not by any means
musician. she must be able to perform
on the samisen, koto, tzuzumi ia drum
and other musical instruments. She
dances, sings. and talks on the lightest
subjects, and always holds herself IN
readiness to entertain her guests &C
eerding to their mood. A witty geisha,
one who is a good talker, pretty and
graceful, will not lack for employment
ar any time. and generally makes a
very good living. While 1t is not at all
necessary for her to arouse mirth, her
object must be to beguile the time that
il irksome to her guests. Thus 1t often
happens that one feeling depressed will
aend for a geisha girl. The geisha Is
q natural actress and her taste in dress
il exquisite. her movements incompar-
able In grace.-0noto Watanna, in the

ponon Typs : ritter RIBBON,

Last week Miss Mary Laughlin, q
pretty eighteen-year-old typewriter
girl, of Cincinnati, died of poisoning
from a most unusual cause. Her death
was due to the blue ink that is used
on typewriter ribbons. A small and
almost imperceptible fever blister on
her lip was the means by which the
death dealing substance was conveyed
into her blood. The young woman.
who was employed in one OF Cincin-
MATHS large business houses. a little
over week ago noticed that small
fever blister had appeared on her low
er lip. She had been at work at her
typewriter and her fingers were
stained with the blue ink used on the
ribbon. She had also been using a
blue indelible pencil, and the stain
from this was also on her fingers. In
trying to break the blister Miss Laugh
lin placed the stained finger On 1t. be-
came poisoned and died.

QUEER CHINESE CEREMONY.
Strange Rites At the Graves In Mount
0IiveS Cemetery,

strange Rites At the Graves In Mount
oIises Cemetery.
A delegation Of Cinnamon visited
mount 0livet cemetery recently and
IN the presence Of a crowd of onlook-
efs performed a number OF rites over
the graves of their countrymen buried
mere, says the Baltimore Sun. They
aiso visited the cemetery on the pre-
Fleas Sunday and went through the
same 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 IRE was built in a sheetiron oven,
winch rested in the roadway not far
from the lot. When the FIRE began to
hlaze high the Cinnamon gathered
around 1t and started to throw into the
names 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
tre burned fiereely, some OF the China
men hurried around to the different
graves and close to each headstone
planted thin SILK, 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
i prayers in the Chinese language. Next
they knelt at the sides of the graves
still continuing their mutterings

brought out and placed them in theii
carriages. Usually at the funerals Of
Cinnamon the food is allowed to re-

feature in which the ceremonies diff
fered from the funeral services was
that cups Of tea were poured over thu
graves OF the Cinnamon. Some If

Dewey once attended a wedding

Dewey had met this famous woman
several times before. The facial plain

of the diplomatic corps In Washington.
