prayers for the repose of the souls of
the dead.
When this service was completed the
prayer books were handed to the
priests and Nom Wau Lee stepped for
ward and began his incantations while
the other priests followed with a basso
edition of Lees music.
Two soft gray pigeons were taken
from q sack and handed to the high
priest. He tok bird in each hand
and dipped the bills of the fluttering
birds in the small dishes of rice wine
which had been placed before the lake
as an offering to the gods of the air.
Paper prayers We're then taken ard
lighted, and around the head of each
bird he waved these flaming torches,
and, calling on the spirits to witness
his sacrifice, he held the birds aloft
and let them 60
Liberates Winged Messengers
The merciful law of the Chinese re-
ligion declares that nothing must be
sacrificed to the gods and the most the
spirits ever receive Is the spirit of a
small bowl of rice, or tea or a cup of
rice wine.
With the first flush Of freedom the
birds cirCled high in the air above the
heads of the priests, and then flew
swiftly to the south, and the Chinese
again sang a peon of JOY at this sign
of good fortune for the coming year.
Again the prayers were alighted and
again the voices of the priests were
raised in song, and the nom wau,
for the second time putting aside his
ivory staff lifted a jar of goldfish from
the ground, and blessing it with the
fiery circle hurled it into the calm
waters of the lake.
Little bowls of rice and money were
placed along the lake shores and offer
ings of sweet cakes and nuts were
strewn on the water.
Slowly the procession of the red robe1
wended its way beneath the
trees of the park. The soft cadence
of their solemn chant drifted back
across the waters and family echoed
on in the distance.
There was a gentle ripple Of the wa
ters of the lake as the golden offer
ings drifted away. The slanting rays
Of the setting sun touched and fingered
for an instant on the bright robes of
the priests.
Then deep silence settled over the
peaceful scene, for the spirits of the
upper air and the waters of the deep
were well pleased.

Lopez succeeded in leaving town, and
had 1t not been learned by the de-
tectives on the case that he had left
for San Diego. he probably would have
escaped. The officers were somewhat
baffled until late in the morning, when
they learned that Lopez had gone to
San Diego. They wired and sent Il
telephone message of his description
to the officers there. Today he will be
returned to Los Angeles.
Though Ontiveras suffered but little
during the day and last evening, his
condition was slightly worse, and the
physicians do not entertain the slight

A Correction.

In recent issue OF THE ST. it has
been made appear that the acting
Burgess" has been guilty Of a misde-
meanor, by receiving license fee
lower than the minimum, stipulated In
borough ordinance, relating to peddling
and hawking, within the limits of said
borough, and ordinance No, 38 is quoted.
The editor has erred, and 1t is my
desire to have such error corrected, as
| know few of our citizens are familiar
with the various borough laws, and 1t Is
certain that the writer OF the above
article referred to is very unfamiliar
with said laws.
In the first place, ordinance No. 3S
refers to the protection Of telegraph
and telephone poles, and has nothing to
say about selling on the streets at all
think it was intended to read ordi-
nance No. 2S that being the ordinance
quoted. This ordinance does only
apply las the first section says,) to
"house to house canvassing," and not to
street vendors, as the people may think
it does.
The ordinance that refers to street
venders, is ordinance No. II which is as
follows
Section l. Be 1t ordained nd enact
ed by the Burgess and Town Council OF
hn hnrnnnh nf Rnunnl1a and n is
hereby ordained by the au ihority OF
same that it shall not be awful for
| any person or persons, to appear within
the limits of the borough of Reynolds
Vile, as peddler or hawker, for the
purpose of selling, vending, peddling
| hawking, or exposing for sale anything
whatsoever, without first having pro
cured license from the Chic Burgess
and paying therefor sum not less
than 81 90, or more than 5000 per day
for such license.
Section 3. That all ordinances OF
parts Of ordinances, inconsistant here
with be and the same are hereby re-
pealed.
Now II any one will say that ordi
nance No. 2S has any reference u
"street selling or vending" in answer
will say, tina. by virtue OF ordinance
No. II, ordinance No % is repealed ant
therefore not law.
The same item refers to "petitior
to the council to instruct the Burgess.
This would be improper, bccause thu
| Ruroess is not sub-Ordipa q to The
council, but rather the rever. is true
BY ordinance No, II the Burgess ha
discretionary power to say Sl.OO o
$500 and there is no di itation o
council, or other act, or actions, tina
will change this power, only by al
ordinance enacted.
