When the Gods Please Him the Chinese
Emperor Grants Them Promotion.
Like many official papers of Euro
pean courts, the Pekin Gazette an
nounces all acts of State and ceremo-
nial proceedings of the national gov
ernment; but in one particular it Is
unique among court circulars, for its
habit Is publicly to commend and COM
pliment the State gods when the en-
peror is satisfied that they have done
they full duty toward Cinnamon. When
some particular god distinguishes him
self by an extraordinary service, his
rank among the gods is raised by I'M
perial command.
Not long ago the department of the
God of War was increased in import
ance by reason Of the great armaments
which the government undertook to
support, so after he had shown his
benevolence by allowing the Imperial
troops to defeat q body of rebels, he
was metaphorically patted on the back
anu IdlSeu W lllG SAINT Idllh as SOU-
fucius, who had hitherto held the first
place In the State Pantheon.
A few years ago the following an
nouncement appeared In the Gazette:
''The governor general of the Yellow
River requests that a tablet be put up
to the River God. During the trans
mission of relief rice to Honan, when
ever difficulties were encountered
through shadows, wind and rain, the
River God interposed in the most un-
mistakable manner, so that the trans
port of grain went on without him
drance.
"Order! Let the proper office pre-
pare tablet for the temple Of the Riv-
er God"
"a memorial tablet" says another
Gazette, "ls granted to two temples In
honor Of the God of the Locusts. On
the last appearance Of locusts, last sum-
mer, prayers were offered to this deity
with marked success"

The big man with his sleeves rolled up
welding the cleaver at the block said
this as he threw a beeksteak on the

tlon than fact but so far as diligent
inquiry has been able to discover 1t is

Butchers are no longer lived than men
in other walks of life. They are sub
jected to all the other ills that human
flesh is heir to, but consumption they
do not have. So far as a reporter was
able to learn, not single case is on
record of butcher in this city being af-
fiicted with the incurable wasting of
the lungs which claims its hundreds of
thousands of victims annually.
The fact is well known among butch

their comment, although none Of them
can give reason for it.

Suicide at Clara citv.

Information was received here
Thursday last of the death by suicide
of an unknown man in Clara City.
The information was meagre, but the
following from the Clara City paper
will throw further light on the affair:
An unknown man committed suicide
by hanging himself in the tow mill
Wednesday night. His body was dis
covered by G. H. Marsh yesterday
morning who went to the mill to start
it for the first time. He at once came
to town and gave the alarm but the
man had been dead several hours and
was left hanging till the coroner ar
rived from Montevideo who will de-
eide that an inquest is unnecessary.
The man was about As years old and
he didn't look like an ordinary tramp.
Town people say that they have seen
him in this vicinity for a month and
he had been promised work by the
tow company the night before. Moth
ing on his clothes has been found to
identify him and he will be buried in
an unknown grave.

The railroads between Chicago and
New York have decided to raise rates
on wheat after October 81. The present
rate is Is cents per hundred pounds.
The new rates will be III per hundred
pounds for domestic use and 16 cents
per hundred pounds for export wheat.
That is, the American consumer in the
east will be taxed II cent for the bene-
fit of the railroads. The rates on flour
remain unchanged for exports, thus
giving the millers in the west an ad-
vantage over their European competi-
tors. The farmer will of course be the
one to pay the increased rates.
