Closing. Exercises.

The primary grades of ST Marys

ing exercises in the school hall Tues
day morning, May rs. A delightful
program was arranged, consisting of
choruses, drills, recitations and piano
solos, and was greatly enjoyed by the
parents and friends of the young per-

some weeks, but experience has taught
the Sisters that the children work bet

Obituary.

Sadie Agnes, the 4-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Rutherham,
died last week at the family home,
1892 Elizabeth street. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon from Sac
red Heart church. Burial was in Mount
Olivet cemetery. Sadie was a bright,
winsome little one and much sympathy
is felt for her bereaved parents.

The funeral of Miss Ellen Williams
took place Thursday morning, May 23

requiem mass was said by Reverend

Mrs. Theckla Moron, an aged woman
and for a long time a resident of
South Denver. died Thursday, May %,
at the county hospital after a pro-
tracted illness. She was buried Satur-
day morning from st. Elizabeth's
church, where requiem high mass was
sung for the repose of her soul. The
Society of Christian Mothers attended
in a body and there was also a large
representation of the Third Order of
Saint Francis. Interment was in
Mount Olivet cemetery.
1t is likely the Catholics will offer a
determined resistance to the opening
of York street through Mount Calvary
cemetery. The ordinance was passed
by the city council early this spring
and the work of removing the bodies
was expected TO begin shortly. Now,
however the trustees of the cemetery,
in Difference to the wishes of the Cath
olics, have determined to resist the
action of the council and will take the
matter into the courts. The ground
by the city is at the ex-
treme eastern end of the cemetery.

settlement of litigation, and so fulfil the
purpose of the throne to have compass
sion on the lowly and to tighten their
punishments."
With the spread of enlightened ideas
and the increase In the number and circu-
lation Of periodicals and daily newspapers
there has become apparent a marked sub
sldence In the old-time superstitious prac-
tices. Official action Is also doing much
to break down these distractions to prog
ress. In various districts the celebrations
and offerings connected with the festivals
for the dead have been prohibited. The
people are encouraged to contribute to
educational purposes the money formerly
spent In Offering sacrifices to the spirits
of their ancestors, Immense sums have
been expended annually In the purchase
of candles, incense, paper clothes and orna-
ments to be consumed at the three great
festivals for the dead who at that time
were supposed to be allowed to revisit
the earth. In addition to these outlays,
large donations were made to the Bhud-
dist and Taoist priests for their interces-
sory Offices. 1t is estimated that In
Shanghai alone the celebration of the
Festival Of All Souls would entail an ex-
pense aggregating $500. .000 and the bulk
OF this naturally fell upon the poorest Of
the people. In line with the moral move
ment was the recent edict against the
use Of opium by persons OF certain

punishments that have been In vogue In
the Celestial Kingdom since time imme-
mortal. The code In it's present form was
adopted at the incoming of the Manchu
dynasty-more than $50 years ago-but
for the most part 1t is upwards of 1000
years old. In the main, this code was a
compilation of well-digested laws, calcu-
lated to effect the general welfare, but
the penalties provided for violations were
barbarous In the extreme, but the severity
of the punishment was due to intense hor-
ror of the crime that preceded it. The
worst feature of the penal practice was
the inclusion---in the cases OF serious Of
fenses-of the relatives of the criminal
in the punishment This practice has been
entirely abolished by imperial edict. The
prison system In China was indescribably
bad, as may be inferred from the fact
that In the language of the country the
same word Is used for ''prison" as for
HELL" The accused frequently fingered
in jail for years awaiting trial, his place
of confinement being of the most wretched
and filthy character and the food allowed
him barely sufficient to keep life In his
body. A great change has been effected
in the conditions OF imprisonment The
condition of the jails have been much i'm
proved, measures have been adopted to
minimize unjust imprisonments, and the
imperial edict requires that leach official
be tiiligent in seeking the welfare Of the
people and give earnest attention to the

been working out scheme for large
army to be trained and equipped in ac-
cordance with the best modern standards.
Anticipating this action of the central
government, the two most advanced
viceroys, Yuan and Chang, organized
large military forces in their provinces
a few years since and these bodies-ag-
gregating 10000 well-armed men-now
display respectable degree of efficiency.
The maneuvers of the Northern army,
| held by Yuan last fall, were attended
| by military Representatives Of all nations.
| The foreigners were surprised to find a
| formidable force, quite unlike the Chinese
| troops that had attacked the legations
| during the Boxer disturbances. They char
| acterized the maneuvers as "a display
momentous and epoch-making In the his
tory of the East" Military authorities
are not, however, wanting to minimise
the value of these indications, They de-
clare that an army cannot be evolved
from q nation In which the fighting In
stinct has been suppressed for ages. and
that whilst the Chinese, who are notably
adaptive, may soon become admirable
parade soldiers, 1t will require several
generations to create the material Of a
good fighting army. There is a great
deal of truth in this contention, FORUM
ately, for the world at large. The China
man possesses, in a high degree, the
qualities that go to make an efficient
military machine, and IL to these he
added patriotism and the spirit Of the
warrior his nation might easily become
a menace to its neighbors and to the
world at large.
More miles of railroad will be construct

In any other division of the world. More
over, they will be constructed by China
men, and, when completed, operated by

ployed to some extent, but to no greater
extent than necessary, and In no case
will outside capital be allowed to secure
control of a road. When the government
first granted franchises to foreign syndi-
Gates for the purpose of railroad estab-
lishment the people were strongly averse
to the Introduction of the new mode of
transportation, which they feared would
be detrimental to the interests of the
poorer classes. But the new lines had
been in operation but a few years when
a revulsion of sentiment set In, and at
present the entire country is keenly in

1t by others. 1t Is not at all likely that
this edict will be carried out as contem-
plated, but its PRONUNCIATION Is hopeful
sign, and 1t will at least have the effect
of making the drug more difficult to Sc
cure and of creating a public sentiment
against It. In connection with the cru
sade against opium perhaps the well-wish-
ers of China who deplore the birth Of the
cigarette habit have less to regret than
they imagine. 1t is more than probable
that the cigarette will afford substitute
for opium to a great many who are In
the first stages OF the use Of the drug,
and that it may be the means Of prevent
ing many Of the younger generation from
taking 1t.
The ancient philosophers and religions
of China inculcated notions Of the fulfil
ity and undesirability of war and taught
that nations, no less than individuals,
should settle their disputes by appeal to
reason and justice. Consequently, the
art of war has been neglected in China
and the vocation of the soldier has been
despised Oppression, humiliation, injustice
and defeat have forced the Chinese to

hundred tons in weight. In every Chinese
river there is a floating sIum, and they
cluster together around some central an-
choring place which is named by the
nearest civic authorities.
The biggest of all floating cities Is in
the Pearl River near Canton, China. Seen
from the towering deck of an ocean
steamer, this water city seems limitless
in extent. Unending lines of thousands

Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-02

Cities, aside from their historic value to
mankind. are principally notable for their
location. whether as mountain. seashore
or plain. Each of these classes has been
duplicated in every country and in every
period of recorded history. There re-
mains but a single type Of city which is
as different to all other as sea and land,
which has existed for countless ages, but
in a single country.
These unique cities are the floating
slums of China, where, with the land
overrun with countless hordes of human
beings, like rats in an old stable, tho
extra hundreds of thousands of Chinese
have been driven from a foothold on
mother earth and live and die In their
famous cities of boats without ever put
ting foot ON terra firma. In appearance,
dress and habits of life these queer dwell
ers on the bosom of the coast and river
waters OF China differ but little from the
remainder of the downtrodden millions of
this oriental empire.
They are born in filthy corner OF their
boats, live and die on them, and no dog
that dragged out an existence at the end
OF a 1ofoot chain was ever SO cramped
and restricted as these people. The si2e
of the boats which by tens of thousands
make up the dozen big floating slums Of
China vary from the sampan, small
flve-foot craft worked by a clumsy oar
called yuloh, to big junks that generally
make voyages up and down the enormous
rivers OF the Yellow Empire, carrying the
coastwise trade of the country from the
coast cities far into the interior.
The little sampan is barely wide enough
for two persons to sit In abreast. Yet

ber of the family which inhabits 1t Next

SELECT $4,000 MEN,

It is to- laugh to see some of the
cheap sticks who have succeeded in
having themselves elected district
judges trying to. make believe they
are worth $4,000 a year. Undoubtedly
there are some ofsthem on the bench
now who wouldn't earn that much in
five years practicing law.-Anoka
Free Press. IN 81
" There may be some truth in the al
legations Of the Free Press. Some
members of the Minnesota judiciary
probably could not earn by practicing
law one-half of what they are now re-
ceiving, but such men should never
have been elevated to the bench. We
want $4,000 men for district judges,
and it is the fault of the people if such
men are not chosen to interpret the
laws. The Unions firm believer
in q well-paid judiciary.
