A DEPARTED SPIRIT
Attends His Own Funeral and Thanks
His Friends.

Attends His Own Funeral and Thanks
His Friends.
OF peculiar interest were the funer.
al services Of Gerry Valentine. Mr.
Valentine was one of the early set
tiers of this place, and was more than
80 years old. He was an ardent Spir-
itualist, and when he died he left d.
rections for his funeral, which were
intended to be a practical demonstra-
ton of his belief. The services were
held in the Universalist church. The
preacher was Samuel Wheeler, noted
Spiritualist OF Philadelphia, and he
chose THE Rainbow Bridge" as his
subject. Then the meeting was given
over into the hands of Mrs. Minnie
Brown, a clalrvoyant from Philadel
phia. Immediately after Mrs. Brown
had taken her position several raps
were heard. Our brother has a mes
sage for Cyrus F. Osgood," said the
medium. HE wishes to thank Mr..
Osgood and the others for their care
In carrying out his wishes in regard
to his funeral ceremonies" Mrs.
Brown then gave the information that
Mr.. Valentine was not alone, but that
J. o. Ransome, Mr.. Parkhurst and Mr..
Wyatt, former friends of the dead
man, had accompanied him on his Git
tie journey in the world" Several
other shades Of departed Spirtualists
had come with them. They reported
that they had made things homelike
Tor Mr.. Valentine. and gave messages
to the friends Of the latter which were
intended to cheer and comfort them.
The announcements were hailed by the
many Spiritualists in heaudience with
pleasure. and, after few more con-
gratulatory raps Mr.. Valentines spirit
and its companions raped "Adieu."-

CLUE LIFE in CHINA.
l6sadarins sad Rich Men CoaErssato Of
Social PleasureS t


Social Pleasures
Club life In China is not an innova
ton from the west. For centuries ths
rich Chinaman has had his club, ana
as rule It is quite al elegant an af
fair as are the aristocratic clubs Of
New York and Chicago. Most Of tbs
large Chinese cities, such as Cantor
and Pekin, contain q club for manda.
rims and rich men with pretensions to
rank. Some have a political faint
some are merely social, but all have
one peculiar feature. This Is a room
or oratory set strictly apart for re!!g
ious exercises. In the oratory tn
image OF Chinese god is placed.
From time to time members OF the
club enter the sanctuary to offer thei.
devotions. Apparently 1t is no 'un
common thing at the beginning or sue
cessful ending Of great enterprise
such as, say, the murder OF an enemy
or the contamination Of a politica
conspiracy-to see Chinaman hasten
ing from the Secular part Of his club
bearing rich Offering or a prayer for
the god in the club sanctuary. He OBJ
serves his devotions with a gravity
that bears witness to his sincerity.
Some devout Cinnamon visit the god
the moment they enter the club build
ing and again PROSTATE themselves
the last thing before leaving. The
club god is not usually war divinity,
but now, in the centers where the
"Boxers" hold sway undlsturbed 1t is
more than probable that the Boxer
god has been placed in all the clubs.

Hawaiian Legislature Asks lOr
President DO|e'S Removal.
Charge Him With Obstructing
Legislation.
President Mckinley not likely
to take action.

The Territorial Legislature OF Hawaii has
passed resolution containing memorial
asking President Mckinley to remove Gov.
ernor Dole. He is charged with obstruct.
ting legislation.
Advices from Washington, however, state
that officials icho are acquainted with the
Presidents views regarding the legislative
situation in Hawaii do not believe Mr.. Nc.
Kinley will be inclined to take notice of the
memorial from the Hawaiian Legislature
urging Governor Dole's removal-certainly
not without full explanation from the
Governor.
That friction exists between Governor
Doe and the Legislature has been known
for months, bat the President, believing the
Hawaiians should work out their own sal
vation has taken no steps to interfere.
The Legislature requested the Governor
to extend It's session in April, stating that
there were many important measures upon
which action should be taken. The Cover.
nor replied that the session had wastod time
and money and he had no confdenc that
an extension would result favOrably for the
islands.
Officials WHO discussed the matter said
Governor Dole acted within his authority
in refusing an extension.

Disabled IS Inch Gun to be
Removed from The BataeSlil
keaEarge.
Great Care Necessary on Account
OF Immense Weight of Gun.

Under the supervision of Naval Construc-
tor Capps preparations for the removal Of
the disabled 13 inch seventy ton gun from
the deck turret of the battle ship Kearsarge
we're recently completed by the removal Of
the second of t,co plates from the turret.
The actual hosting out of the gun will be
deferred for several days, as great precau-
tions must be taken on account of the seven.
ty tons weight of the gun. 1t is to be
hoisted out by one thousand ton crane
leased from wrecklng company, and is to
be laid on the dock alongside.
Several weeks ago, when the gun was
partly wrecked by an explosion, it was
thought that the repairs would cost $50, 600.
The Kearsarge has superimposed turrets,
and it was expected the upper turret, with
its guns, would have to be removed. Naval
Constructor Oapps devised the plan of tax.
ing the gun out by removing two plates.
He estimates it will take one month and
cost not over $4,000.

The Earth Accurately Measured
at Last.
Scientists Have Worked Over
Thirty Years on the Problem.

After nearly thirty years OF constant
effort and the expenditure of nearly $780,.
600 scientists have succeeded in accurately
measuring the earth. They have learned
that its diameter through the Eqaato tor is
1926 miles; its height from Pole to Pole
1899 miles. The earth, therefore, is fIatten
ed at the Poles; and while this fact has long
been asserted. the actual measurement has
removed the question from the domain Of
doubt.
