Maurice Barrymore was quietly laid to
rest in Philadelphia. The funeral was
private and only members of the family
attended. Thus closes a career, brilliant
and stormy, that might even now be In
its prime had it not been for those weak
nesses which too often quench the bright
fires of genius and bring their victims to
tragic end. Herbert Blyeth, who was
idolized as Maurice Barrymore, followed

DUNHAM IS ALERT
The County Sheriff is Taking No Chances With the Slayers of
 Old Man Lockwood.

County Sheriff Dunham is not talk ing the chances with Bassett, Cenes- ky. Leonard and Preston that he took with Ciriaco Capobianco, who is un- der sentence of death in the state prison. Only Sheriff Durham alone took charge of Capomanco, whereas Bassett and his pals go to and from New Haven jail under the surveillance of a dozen sheriffs though they are not aware of it. And they do not go together either for there is to be no chance of collusion between them. After court every afternoon Bassett is usually taken to the depot in under the eyes of number of sheriffs go various ways. One down Field street. another oyer Center street: all by different routes and in different cars on the train so they do not see each other until they reach the jail. Usually the windows on Leayenwortis street are thronged with curious people to get glance at the quar- tette,
 For two days Bassett has occupied a seat near his counsel, Attorney Rus sell at the end of the long table facing the witness box. Pale, but not un- healthy looking, he has sat with his right hand resting on the table sup- porting his chin without ever chang ing hair. But yesterday noon when Assistant States Attorney Kellogg called out Edward Leonard" I,ns- sett turned his head and looked To- ward the dock and when he saw bis confederate in crime march toward the witness stand his pale face flush ed, but only for moment. He whis- pered a word to his vigilant counsel who whispered back to him and then he resumed his usual implacable look.
 Startling and cold as is the story of Leonard that which Cenesky will tell is promised to he still more so. for Cenesky is saitl to be brighter fel1 low than Leonard and from all np-1 pearances this would not be 4 diffi- cult thing to be. To get Leonard to repeat precisely what was said on any of the occasions which he has mentioned in his blood curlling story, has so far been impossible. Time and time again he has been asked to sim ply repeat what either of his confed- crates said to him and Leonarl's reply was always in general. For some time yesterday Attorney Russell was at his wits end to make Leonard re- peat what was said by Rassett on n certain occasion and he had to give it up.

Friends.

To-day Is Chinese new years and

dent Cinnamon. Powder is burnet
and feasts are In order.
Last year this greatest OF Chinese
holidays came in the latter part o.
January but this year II ONE .
few days later. the change being du,

Tho Chinese laundrymen OF the city
have had candies and other delicacieE
on hand at ,acir shops for the benefit
OF their English friends so that It will
not DO Cinnamon only who VIII celc'
brnte The day.
The festivities connected with the
proper celebration Of New Year by
the Chinese are divided into five
parts:
First, the sacrifice 10 heaven and
earth: second. the worship of the gods
and idols belonging to the family;
third. the worship Of deceased ances.
tors; fourth, prostitution before living
parents and grandparents; fifth. the
making OF New Years calls.
The first rite, or sacrifice 10 heav-
en- and earth, will sometimes begin
as early as 4 O'Clock In the morning.
In some families the adults do not re-
tire at all on tho night previous. A
table IL placed in the principal room
OF the dwelling, containing the offer.
ings TO heaven and earth, which are
usually a pail OF boiled rice, five or
ten bowls of different kinds OF q &
tablee, ten cups Of wine, ten cups OF
tea. two large red candies and three
sticks OF incense. Two small branch.
cs OF cedar or some flowers are stuck
In the pail OF rice. and also ten pairs
OF chop.sticlss, and a copy Of an alma.
. for the current year. Several
kinds OF dried fruit are scattered
around on the rice. and near the cen.
ter Of the table Ii q bowl OF loose
skinned oranges. When all IL ar
ranged. fireworks are exploded often
In the street In front OF the house.
All the family being now assembled.
tho pater familias approaches, and
kneeling down In front OF the table,
bows his head TO the ground three
times. holding small sticks Of lighted
Incense In his hands, which, upon
rising. he places In the center OF the
table. Prayers arc then offered for
the blessings Of the past year and the
good fortune from sickness, trouble
or business reverses IL asked for the
ensuing year.
When It Is daylight new prayers
are offered TO other OF the idols and
at the conclusion fireworks are again
exploded. After tho refreshments are
set before the gods tho mock money
~ burned and tho amnsements begin.
The customs of tho native land are
lowed out as much as possible In this
this country.
