THE MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF
ELLEN EMERSON

A beautiful spot, the Gods Acre of the University
OF neutrality-suspicious. small place contains the
ashes of so many ilustrious dead. As we stood be-
meath the leafless oaks and heard the song of I'M
fading life murmuring sweety in the great pines we
could see the shafts which mark their last resting
places. We remember the great Christian physician
James Lawrence Cabell; his famous colleague Gull
tured, gracious beloved John Staig Davis; not less
beloved, noble, chivalrous William Cecil Dabney-
three doctors who loved God and their felowmen-
and that splendid man of God, John b. Minor who
taught the law and loved better to teach the Gospel
to his great Bible class. We recall our Presbyter-
ian elder, Charles Scott Venable, largehearted in
good works, brave colonel in war time, a gallant
leader in educat on afterward And that great name
William II. " 3ufey, Doctor of Divinity (no mis-
leading title) comparable teacher, devout disciple,
who did NOR doubtless than any other to make
flowery and sN ct the steep slopes of Parnassus to
thousands of youthful feet. How many of us love
his name and blessed memory!
Surrounded by the forest, just across the en-
closing wall is the Confederate burying- ground
where lie hundreds of brave fellows and in their
midst on the pedestal instribed with their Names
the beautiful bronze soldier of Buberl the confident
hope of victory his young face. But the dearest
spot aim of pilgrimage is where two like monu-
ments of white marble bear the names of our dear
missionary and the mother whose faithful training
fitted her for lifes best service. As stood there
stirred with many memories, thought of many
who loved her, whose feet could not press that sacred
soil their eyes behold her carven there and
for them copied the inscription:
ELLEN EMERSON

For Fifteen Years.

Statements from the government Offices at
Washington concerning conditions in China.
and the action of the United States Government
in sending additional forces, of both army and
navy to the East, have created a widespread

sions are in central China, mainly in the great
valley of the Yangtse, where no trouble dur

serious peril, and that our friends are not dis
turbed by fear at this time.

fooled a citizen in peculiar way. He
came out ofSthe freight room at the ". ]

approached the citizen and Whispered.
Don't you want some good old yellow
corn?" Where. said the other.

touching his pocket, only don't give
it away. Come here, and the two
went way back into the darkest corner

Seauachee Vote.

The vote here Thursday was as fol-
Lows:
For governor Evans 81. Patterson
10.
For Congress Peace 10, Moon IL.
For r. r. Commissioner 20,
Hannah 12, Avent 10, Mcclure IL.
For Senator Mitchell IL.
For Representative Corn 10, Moore
II.
This was the first election ever held
in Sequachee under the Dorch law,
and the results were not gratifying as
far as correct voting was concerned.
There was great deal of ignorance
displayed in the matter, one man vot-
ing ticket without designating his
choice of any candidate by cross mark,
and another marking both the names
of Patterson and Evans, and conse-
quently voting for neither. A pecu-
liar fact developed in the vote for re-
preventative. Corn got two more than
his party vote for Patterson, but thir-
teen. or nearly one-third of the voters
did not express preference for any
candidate. Difficulty was also mani
tested over folding the ballots properly
in the booths. The total vote was only
AZ out of registration of 81, whilt
in the August election ga voted.
The officers of the election were San
Wilson, officer; J. R. Jones, ]. Alton
and T. B. Lasater, judges; Jim Har

STRANGE FEAST OF ESQuIMOs
Drink. Food and Clothing Provided for the
Ghosts of the Dead.

The Eskimos Of ST. Michael and
the lower Yukon River hold a
festival of the dead every year
at the end of November or the begin
ming of December, as we'll as greater
festival at intervals of several years.
At these seasons food, drink and cloth
es are provided for the returning ghosts
in the kashim, or club. house, of the
village, which is Illuminated with oil
lamps.
Every man or woman who wishes to
honor dead friend sets up lamp on
stand in front of the place which the
deceased used to occupy in the club
house These lamps, filled with seal
oil, are kept burning day and night
until the festival is over. They are
believed to light the shades ON their
return to their old home and back
again to the land Of the dead. If any
one fails to put up lamp in the club
house and to keep it burning the shade
whom he or she desires to honor could
not find its way to the place and SO
would miss the feast.
When person has been much dislik-
ed his ghost is sometimes purposely
/ ignored, and that is deemed the sever
est punishment that could be inflicted
upon him After the songs Of invita-
ton to the dead have been sung the
givers of the feast take small portion
of food from every dish and cast il
down as an offering to the shades
then each pours little water ON tn,
floor so that it runs through the cracks
In this way they believe that the spir
itual essence of all the food and waite
is conveyed to the souls.
The remainder of the food is after
wards distributed among the peopl
present, who eat of it heartily. The
with songs and dances the feast come
to an end and the ghosts are dismisse
to their own place, Dances form
conspicuous feature of the great festi
val of the dead, which is held ever
few years. The dancers dance not OF
ly in the clubhouse but also at th
graves, and ON the ice if the decease
!. met their death by drowning.
On the eve of the festival the nearel
male relative goes to the grave an
summons the ghost by planting thel
a small model of seal spear or of
: wooded dish, according as the decease
7 was man or woman. The totem
: of the dead are marked on these i'm
! plements.
. When all is ready the ghosts gath,
in the firepit under the clubhouse
and, ascending through the floor at IL
= proper moment, take possession of IL
y bodies OF. their namesakes to whom ii
offerings of food, drink and clothir
are made for the benefit Of the dead.
Thus each shade obtains the suppl
he needs in the other world.
: The dead who have none to MAJ
- offerings for them are bell eyed
- suffer great restitution. Hence t
:, Eskimos fear to die without leaviI
" behind them someone who will sacl
~. fee to their spirit and childless peoI
- generally adopt children lest th,
~ shades be forgotten at the festivals.
