CHINESE GRAKEYARD CUSTOMS.
Peculiar Custom of Placing Cooked
Food on the Graves of the
Departed.

Assorted foods, literally by the
wagon load, are annually taken out to
Cypress Hills Chinese Cemetery by
members of New York's Chinese col
ony, says the New York Times. and
these offerings, which are to US such
strange evidences of affection and re
membrane, are placed with pic
tnresque rites, on the graves where the
departed Celestial brothers of the
colonists are awaiting the convenient
or is it the suspicious season for
transshipment to the land which these
most stolid of sentimentaIists insist on
believing to be the only one where the
dead can rest comfortably. These an
nual illustrations of the fact that the
Chinaman has feelings like the rest of
us, even if he does choose different
ways of showing them, attracts the
usual amount of attention, some of it
respectfully curious and some openly
derisive, but neither variety affects the
performance of the ceremonies or
enables us to get bit nearer the mYs-
tefious Mongel mind. It Is hard to
believe that our far-tfaveled Chinese
really think that anything is accom-
plished for the dead by putting roast
pig and boiled rice on grave, and yet
they do 1t year after year.

The ancient story of the GhinaHan
who, when asked at what hour the
spirits consumed the food thus offered
to them, replied that it was at the same
hour chosen by onr dead for smelling
foWers we similarly place, is always
pertinent to discussion OF this mystery
and reflection on the story has the
admirable effect OF giving a new
standpoint from which to study the
fsoutlandisR' custom OF our useful but
Hnloved guests. In all these things Il
is the thinking so that constitutes
right. propriety and eongruity. The

fore the coUst. The action on a writ
 Of certioari. brought by the Copper Queen company as a tax payer, against the territorial board of equalization. and which was also returnable yester-
 day in the supreme court, went over to the next session of the court. No action was taken first by reason of lack of time and secondly by reason of
 the bearing on the situation, of the result in the mandamus eases.
 The full bench was present, compris- ing Associate Justices Campbell. Sloan, Doan and Tucker, with Chief Justice Kent presiding. When the mandamus cases were called. Col. Wm. Herring, counsel for Graham county, flied a 1 demurrer in the case against that coun- ty. alleging irregularty in the pro ceedings in that the board of super vfsors were referred to as a board. without naming the members thereof and that the territory was named as the petitioner. without mentioning the l fact that it was by MT. Clark, the at | tOrney general.
 District Attorney ElliuwOOd in the Yavapai county case filed a plea in abatement and a motion that the pro ! ceedings be dismissed for want of jur- i iSdiCtion. Later in the day the motion
 was argued by counsel. MT. Ellin- wood contended that under the law an ! associate justice of the supreme court i had no authority for the issuance of an alternative writ of mandamUs, during ] a vacation of the court; that such writ
 must be issued by the court itself. This . is the first time the question was ever raised in Arizona. Various sections of I the statutes were referred to and the court took a short recess for consulta- ] tion and examination of the law. On reconvening MT Chief Justice Kent stated the decision of the court sustaining the contention of MT. Ellin-
 wood. The court said there was one
 paragraph of the law, construed alone, 1 that might warrant a contrary opinion, ] but the various sections taken together l left no doubt as to the intent of the law 1 in the case. as supporting the opinion 1 of the court. Continuing the court said ] this construction of the law would work ] no hardship. fer the reason tlai pro- vision is made fC~ accomplishing the some object in another way. That is. that counsel desiring to secure service, : is privileged to file his petition with . the clerk or the supreme court. and at the same time serve notice on the re-
 spondcnts that at the next succeeding ! session of the cOurt. peremptOry writ would be asked for. Tne respondents would have ample notice Of the action and could be ready with their answer.
 so that at the ensuing session a hearing could be had as to the issuance of the 1 writ.
 The attorney general expressed his . purpose to proceed in conformity with
 the suggestion sf the court. and an nouucement was then made that anotn- CT session of the supreme court would

RAISING THE BONUS
Things Look Better Since Mesa Put
 Her Name Down.

Mesa has won a warm place in the hearts Of the directory of the board of trade. Not that thc!e ever was any lack Of the best of feeling for that city but what there has been in the past was yesterday added to. It all came about by the manner in which the beet sugar bonus soliciting committee was re- ceived by the citizens of Mesa and the liberal manner in which subscriptions were made to the bonus fund. Over S2G00 was subscribed in 9 few hours. This, added to the fund previously raised, makes the total amount so far subscribed BPS GOO.
 There still remains $1O00 to be rais- cd h.- the ranchers in the vicinity of Glendale they having previously agreed to raise half Of the total amount required and $I000 to be raised by the board of trade This amount it is thought the residents of Tempe will subscribe when the committee visits M. C. McDougaH. J. w. Crenshaw. C. II. Davidson. Lafayette Meyers and W. J. Murphy found the committee that spent yesterday in Mesa but the $2000 subscribed was raised largely through the efforts of the Mesa committee con s.sting of Dr. Chandler. J. c. Spang- fer. J. D. Peterson, J. A. Stewart. ". J. LeBaron J. L Waring, lack Frazier and Hi Simpkins.

pal county case should determine the fate of all the mandamus cases. where fore the same order was entered in each.
 Discussing the matter later. Attor- ney General Clark. said that he was satisfied the ruling of the court was correct. though the custom he had fol- lowed always prevailed heretofore. and Writs had on occasion been issued dur inS vacation by associate justices. The effect is to clearly define for the first time the procedure in mandamus cases and will no doubt be a benefit to future litigants. And so far as this particular incident is concerned there has been no loss of time, for the court could not have disposed of the cases yesterday.
 The decision of the court seemed to be a surprise to all attorneys, for the reason that the practice had never be- fore been questioned. However they agreed for the most part that the rul- ing was good law The ruling in no way affects the district judges who have power at all times to grant writs of mandamus # they see fit. during vacation under special provision of the statutes.
 The case will be heard and deter mined on the merits at the November session.
