Meet Of American wheelmen.

At the annual meeting OF the Nation
oil Assembly OF the League OF Anieri-
can Wheelmen held recently in Phila-
dolphin the Invitation OF Mayor Diehl
TO hold the annual summer meet OF the
League in Buffalo was accepted unani-
mously.
This action on the part OF the gov
erning body OF the l. A. W. meets
with the hearty approval Of the entire
membership OF that organization.
For this reason the biggest meet in
the history OF the League will be that
held in Buffalo during the week COM
mencing Aug. IL
Aside from the attractions OF the L.
A w. meet there are many Induce
ments which will cause cyclists to visit
Buffalo at that time. among others the
central location OF the city. within easy
touring distance OF all the principal
cities OF the Eastern and Middle
States and Canada. the cheap railroad
fares. the desire on the part of all
wheelmen to visit the Pan-American
Exposition and Niagara Falls and the
fact that a week of international cycle
racing is to be given on the specially
constructed quarter mile track la the
magnificent Stadium on the Exposition
grounds.
1t is believed that there will be not
less than 10000 visiting wheelmen in
Buffalo during the week OF the meet

na.aus Funeral cu.tom..

Among the BasQues funeral festivi-
ties were kept up not only after the
funeral but also for eight days more,
and on New Years day, when they
were repeated. In their case this was
purely religious ceremonial observ-
ance. even II 1t originated In pagan
days. For religion has entered into
and still pervades the funeral rites Of
the Basques to a degree now hardly
conceivable. The deceased who was the
head OF the family, probably belonging
to the third religious order. was usual
ly buried in the appropriate dress OF
the order. The funeral was presided
over by the serore. who was n sort OF
nun. This probably, as O'Shea says,
came down from the time when wom-
en- held high ecclesiastical positions
among the Basques.
The very feasts were relics OF days
when an Offering of meat. bread and
wine was wont to be taken into the
church or churchyard not only ut the
funeral. but every day for two years
afterward. for the supposed benefit OF
the deceased. but really for that OF the
clergy.
Up to 1760 In Guipuzcoa on the &C.
casion OF funeral an OK was taken
to the church door and then killed and
subsequently eaten, n survival, OF
course. OF pagan sacrifices In primitive
times. In whatever way the habit OF
taking the deceased to the church on an
open bier arose. there can be no ques-
ton that the fire lighted at the nearest

THE BEAUTIFUL ORIENT.
IL II One of the Midway's Interesting
Attractions.

IL In One of the Mfdway's Interesting
Attractions.
Nearly 100000 will be required to
construct and equip the wonderful
Midway at the Pan-Americnn Exposi-
ton. The greatest care has been taken
to prevent any approach toward the
fake" show, and the visitor may rest
assured that he will not be submitted
to fraud or extortion so long as he re-
mains upon the Exposition grounds. II
Is difficult to single out any attraction
In this section as more promlpsnt or
worthy than another, for all have their
special merit and novelty.
The Beautiful Orient will represent
life as 1t existed in the East before
the advent Of the modern tourist.
CASTOR Akoun. director OF this conces-
sion, is arranging to have native repre-
sentative characters to convey proper
impressions OF oriental customs and
manners OF living. He will have plenty
OF room In which to display the differ
ent salient features that would appeal
In the strongest terms to people ac-
customed to our western civilization.
A holy Mecca will be the meeting place
OF tired and worn pilgrims who will
constantly arrive, make their offer
ings IN the various mosques OF reli-
gious temples and dispense. Eight
streets viii diverge from this objective
point, each representing a distinctive
local section Of the orient. A street
IN Constantinople viii be thoroughly
Turkish, even to the vagabond dogs.
Morocco VIII be represented by n
street which Will illustrate the life and
habits Of the Moors. Algerian life Will
receive attention. and street Will be
borrowed from Aigiere for the pur-
pose. Typical Illustrations In a ike
manner will be taken from Egypt,
Tunis. Persie, Tripoli and Turkey in
Asia While looking through these
sections visitors could easily imagine
themselves In the midst OF the ancient
city the counterpart of which they are
visiting.
A Bedouin Arab encampment will
lend variety, and Sahara Desert no
mads will live in their interesting char
acteristic way. Natives from all coun-
tries will live on the grounds with their
camels and different domestic oriental
animals. cabins, tents and huts. Res
taurants. tea houses. shops and fruit
stands for the sale OF oriental goods OF
great variety will be provided. The
Beautiful Orient Is under the same
management as the Streets OF Cairo,
which was so popular at the Worlds
Fair, though 1t Will be three times as
large. About 800 orientals will be EN-
ployed In different ways with this at
traction, a conglomerate eastern city
with distinct local features-a history
In nutshell.
