to Reach Port Arthur.

New Chwang, June ST a. m.=The
funeral of Lewis F,tzel correspondent
of the London Daily Telegraph. will
take place here this afternoon. He was
killed ten miles out at sea by some
Chinese soldiers. who were searching
for pirates. Immediately after reaIfz-
ing the mistake they had made, these
men put out to sea and have not been
seen since. United States Consul Gen
eral Miller held an inquest at Sha-
wantaitza, at which the Chinese Gen
eral Lu acknowledged that Etzel was
killed by his soldiers.
Ernest Brindle, of the London Daily
Mail, who was with Etzel when he was
shot, testified that their junk was un-
challenged by the soldiers and was
fired upon in spite of the fact that two
foreigners We're plainly visible at dis

FOURTH AT MANILA
Spanish Club Will Take Part in the
Celebration.

Manila. June S.-The Casino Espanol,
the Spanish club of Manila, has decided
to participate in the forthcoming
Fourth of July celebrations here. The
casino decided on this course because
of the honors paid by the American
army and navy to the dead Spanish
soldiers and sailors buried at Manila
and Baler. At the latter place, in north

The conferring of this degree upon

honorary degree and is never given
even by the most common educational
institutions, except as a token of ex-
ceptional merit. The encyclopedia states
that the degree of Doctor of Laws lis
conferred as an honorary degree upon
those who have acquired distinction in
any department of learning or public
affairs Coming from such a high in
stitution as the University of Illinois it

the cARnal NAN.

Now that the packers strike is over
and business is returning to its normal
condition we are led to reflect upon
some phases of the situation brought to
light during the struggle. Our range
men certainly were put to great loss
and inconvenience in having no market
when the proper time came to move
their yearly output. The great con-
suming people on the other hand were
obliged to curtail their usual quota of,
meats and fall back upon cereals and
vegetables, yet they have perhaps lived
just as well for all that. The Ameri-
can people have the meat habit strongly
fastened upon them, however, and it is
to the interest of the live stock grow
ers to foster and promote it to the best
of their ability. Aside from our selfish
interests how would we prosper as q
nation were we to turn about face and
forsake the carnivorous diet?
How is it with Japan for instance?
With only dried fish and cereals in their
commissarr they are holding up on land
and sea a great fish eating nation.
The Russian stomach is the gravest
problem which confronts the govern
ment Of the czar and the possibility is
that the immense empire of Muscovite
will be overwhelmed in the east because
the railroad may not be equal to ap-
peasing the appetite for meat in the
Russian army. Here we have people
who are leading the strenuous life,
stoking battleships and making forced
marches on diet which is the reverse
of our own. The Japanese abandoned
meat in obedience to the laws of Bud
dha more than 1000 years ago.
They used to be flesh eaters but they
conquered that taste so effectually that
when they or their leaders tried re-
Gently to revive it along with other Gus
toms of the western civalization, the
effort failed. 1t was said that the
Americans and Europeans were big and
strong because they lived on beef
Many of the highest men in the fowry
kingdom, therefore, set the example of
eating this food, but the Japanese re-
volted against turning their tea tables
into slaughtering blocks, as they re-
garded the carving of roasts and steaks.
They are not even milk drinking ma
ion, although it is difficult to account
for the loss of their infantile appetite
for it. They have no Japanese cows,
and eating hens eggs is not considered
the right thing in remote districts.
Butter is not on the national bill of
fare. We commonly think Of Japan as
a nation of rice eaters. But rice is
above the denizens of the poorer coun-
try districts and is not Indispensable to
a Japanese army. 1t is often replaced
by barley, corn or some other cheap
and abundant grain. Japanese do not
insist on fresh vegetables, but are sat
isfed with minute portions Of pickeled
products of the garden. Field and

New Coat

one of the favorite garments OF the
winter is the Directoire coat with it's
deep pointed reveres its postinion
back. growing gradually narrower as it
meets the waist line in front, and its
fancy vest. made sometimes OF velvet to
match the gown. but quite as often OF
cloth in some bright. contrasting color.
The little blouses are also to be worn
again. Most of these are made with
some fulness on the shoulder either
with tucks or close lines of shirring.
While the long shoulder line is still de-
sirable. this effect is secured this win
ter by different meants. The long
shoulder yoke and the deep capes which
were worn last season are not much
used this fall. Instead the long line Of
the shoulder Is secured by carrying the
tuclSs in the shoulder seam down over
the top Of the sleeve. or by letting the
top OF the sleeve extend up into the
coat hiding the joining under skill
fully laid tucks.
The greatest change in the coats this
fan is IN the sleeves. The gigot sleeve
fitting the arm closely to the elbow
whore the fulness is laid I'm by cleverly
arranged darts Is seen oftener than
any other shape Many of the bloused
coats have little shaped fiounces or pos
tillion pieces attached below the gir-
die, giving very much the effect Of the
Directoire coats.

SAND PAINTINGS.
Pictures That Are Used In Navajo
Indian Ceremonies.

Pictures Thnt Are Used In Navajo
Indian Ceremonies.
To paint a picture in ordinary oils or
water colors, with a model to copy. is
a difficult task enough to suit most
people, but to paint picture by drop
ping pinches Of colored earth or sand
on a smooth ground surface and to
paint II from memory exactly as some
other artist painted It a year or more
ago appears even more difficult Such.
however. is the process by which some
tribes Of American Indians reproduce
from time TO time pictures that are
used in certain aboriginal ceremonies.
and that are believed to be exactly
similar to original drawings that date
back an unknown number Of genera
tions
In the Peabody museum at Harvard
university there is colored model Of
one of these paintings that member
OF the museum stan had the good
fortune to see In process Of actual con
struction. the picture being used in
n ceremony performed to cure the i'll
ness of two members Of small Nava-
10 village. II represents the four rain
gods one for each of the cardinal
points of the compass who are shown
coming from a southern cloud, blue in
color, which rises in turn from black,
white and yellow line symbolizing the
north. east and west The god of the
north wind Is black. OF the south wind
blue, of the west wind yellow and of
the east wind white and each carries
a highly decorated tobacco pouch, con-
tanning also n ray of the sun, with
which he is supposed to light his pipe.
The combination OF the sun with the
rain. which the Indian Imagination
pictured the gods as sending, is sym
bolized by rainbow cOlors, red and blue,
decorating the tobacco bags. From the
left hand Of each figure hangs a water
bottle. a natural emblem of his Office,
while around the north. west and
south sides Of the picture is the rain
bow, personifed by goddess.
The sand picture, which exists from
year TO year only in the memory Of
the medicine man, or shaman, who di-
rects the making of il, is drawn on
the floor of a sacred hut especially con-
structed with It's doorway carefully
facing the east, from which direction
the Indians believe no evil spirit need
be expected The medicine man has as
his advisers and memory assistants
several Of the men OF the tribe who
have participated in many a former
ceremony of the kind. The actual
painters" are four young men OF the
tribe. who first lay out n smooth foun-
dation OF brown sand and then. start
ing In the middle. move outward in Ell
thcr direction as the center OF the de-
sign is finished Each painter takes a
pinch OF sand OF the necessary color
and drops II in the proper place by
rubbing 1t slowly between thumb and
forehnger In this way, line by line,
the picture comes slowly into being
until at the end of several hours fin
ished painting" about by IL feet in
size has been executed TO the satisfac-
tion OF the chief medicine man and his
experienced advisers.
