their respects to their departed ones aud
try to have their lots looking in good Or
der on going to the cemetery, he not only
found isOme choice flowers taken away
from the grave, but, had not a couple of
ladies from the city been in close prox-
unity the day before, two urns with fresh
spring flowers would also have been
robbed, as these "female highwaymen"
were about to upturn the vases and take
plants, roots and all. Their names are
well known and kindly hint should stop

The RETALIAToRY policy inaugurated
by China against the United States by
reason OF the exclusion act of this coun-
try is causing apprehension in many
quarters. Adyices from Honolulu say
that considerable attention has been at
tracted by a Chinese poster which has
appeared in HiIo's Asiastic quarters. 1t
says that the government at Peking will
issue an order against the purchase OF
American goods, with a penalty for VIC
lation of the order, and will proceed to
have Americans who enter China fumi-
gated at the port of entry and charged 80
per head The administration is menaced
by the American Federation of Labor
who demand that the provisions Of the
exclusion act be rigidly enforced. AT
the third days session of the executive
council of this organization in Scranton,
Pa, yesterday discussion arose relative
to attempts to nullify the Chinese exclu-
sion law. President GOmpers, Vice
President O'Connell and Secretary Nor
rison, residing in Washington, were ap-
pointed a committee to present to Presi-
dent Roosevelt this subject and Others
affecting the interests of labor. In the
meantime American manufacturers an
ticipate the loss of much of the enor-
nous trade now carried on with the
celestial empire.

For YEARS it has been customary to
bewail in certain cities for some days
after the Fourth of July the discomfort,
the cOnhagrations, the maimings and
the deaths which are attendant upon the
prevailing method of celebrating indie
pendence Day, and to demand, with a
fine show of returning reason and righte-
Gus indignation, that there shall be no
repetition of such miseries. The laws
against those evils have long been upon
the statute books, but they have never
been enforced, They have been widely,
openly and fagrantly violated in the
storage, sale aud use of toy pistols and
the many varieties Of explosives. The
lawbreakers know it. The police know
it. The public knows it. 1t is-tO use
a current phrase-"up to- the police to
check this yearly debauch by strictly
enforcing the law. The authorizes of
this city have for years been urged to
see that the State and city laws are en-,
forced. The officials are sworn &c do
this, and should they fail to take heed
to the suggestions so often made they
will prove disappointing to those who
have a right to ask their protection.

shaken up in free fght which occurred
at performance of travelling show at

the audience would offer himself as a
subject for the cannibal. A peasant
boy volunteered 10 act as the victim.
The cannibal seized the boys ear in his
teeth and bit him. The boy shrieked

rushed to his assistance, while other
people in the audience, who did not
wish h have the act interlered with held
them back. This brought on the melee
in which the casualties announced oc-
CURED. During the excitement oc
casioned by The fight the realistic canni
