AN ORIENTAL
FUNERAL
High Priest Pans Fook Will
Be Buried Tomor-
row.

With oriental symbols of grief and
tending the funeral of a deceased Chi
nese in high office, Pang Fook, the dead
High Priest of the Tong Hing Society.
will be buried tomorrow in the Chinese
cemetery in Manoa Valley. For more
than two weeks the body of the aged
heather ecclesiastic has been lying in
state in the humble quarters of the
Society off Beretania street near River.
The members of the society and those
who have burned punks and scattered
strips of red paper before the favorite
joss at which Pang Fook officiated,
have paid tribute to the dead body by
bringing all manner of eatables to the
temple and depositing them near the
coffin and altar. The air for two weeks
has been laden with fumes of punks
and candles, which have been kept
burning steadily day and night. Orien-
tai customs have been observed
throughout and the only suggestion of
anything foreign is in the silver plate
on the coffin lid which bears the in
scription in English, "At Rest"
The funeral procession will be a long
one and several wagons will be requir-
ed to carry all the paraphernalia which
custom amongst the Chinese requires
shall be carried to the grave and de-
posted about the mound. There are
to be all manner of eatables, succuIent
pig and chicken and numerous other
toothsome uncomfortable known only
to the Chinese. 1t is probable that a
Chinese band will be present in the
procession and at the grave
Both the Government Band under the
leadership of Captain Berger, and the
Mission Band under the leadership of
Philip Rima, will participate in the
procession which starts at / p. M
