They Take Their Joss Along, “Chip In," ■Make a I»ig Noise, Are Good Nature*!, I’ollte anti Always Go Home SoIm-r and

Happy.

[Special t'orresiioiidence.l HonokoUQ, Hept. 18.—Hearinp ono tlay of n Chineso country festival in the neighborhood of Kowloon, which is just opposite to Hongkong, I got up a party of friends, crossed the harbor, anil within an hour was in the scene of the j festivities. My Chinese servants were ! well actinainted in the place—in fact, were consitis or nephews nr something or other of the leading family of the town. It was a stroke of rare good fortune, as it insured us a cordial welcome and offered opportunities to see and hear that are never presented to strangers, much less Europeans. A Oiifst ion of Generosity. The festival was given by all the families in the village. Each hud subscribed j what it could afford and had paid the money over to the village elders, who formed a sort of executive committee. I Not alone this, but they had written to j well to do kinsmen in Hongkong, Can- j ton and elsewhere, who had duly and j generously responded. It is a sort of a duty for everybody to “chip in” upon I these occasions. The element of pride i also enters, for the name of every giver | and tl.e amount of his gift are inscribed i upon large placards, which are posted ; up where all may see and read them. A mean man is not only contemned, but is treated with a rudeness and incivility that would spoil the patience of a saint. In the morning tlio people turned out gayly dressed and looking their best. On this day the women are allowed to go out on foot and enjoy themselves in the open air, where the rest of the year they stay within doors or travel in closed sedan chairs. They make full use of their privilege. The pretty girl walks, talks and poses, so as to exhibit her charms; tho frivolous or flirtatious fe- I male devotes her eyes to the young men and smiles and stares, winks and ogles j most preposterously; the heiress wears her jewels as conspicuously as possible and draws her costly skirts about her j whenever a poorer member of her sex comes near; the gossip entertains a multitude with insinuation, slander and j scandal, while the scold finds ample scope for her dreaded and notorious ;

longue.

They Take the .Iomh A Ion*.

About noon is a procession. It starts i in front of the domicile of tho leading man of the village, wanders, now fast and now slow, through all the thorough- j fares of the place mid winds up at a J temple or josshouso, which has been j cleaned, repaired and decorated for the j occasion. Like all Chinese processions, j I it is so grotesque as to he funny. There is usually a “joss” or idol to start with. ! This is a small figure no larger than a girl’s doll, hut so bedizened and bewhiskered as to seem a miniature cutthroat or pirate. Ho is fastened securely to tho seat of a strong sedan chair or a throne on poles, so that no matter what

Every Friday niiffit on 3rd Hour over Tims, j may happen to tho car eers he will not

suffer the indignity of pitching forward and falling into tho mud. This is the most terrible luck that can happen to an idol. If it occur and ho is not to blame, something awful will befall the people of the community. On the contrary, if he, the idol, or tho deity ho represents has been misbehaving, it is a | ! very just and appropriate punishment j Josses who allow their worshipers to I got sick or do not send good harvests or prevent fishermen making good hauls ! with their nets aro frequently chastised by taking them out of their comfortable temples and putting them in the mud or in muddy water. The process is cruel, but the joss is said always to turn over a new leaf and become a good deity thereafter. To go on with the procession, the chair or throne of the idol is carried by 4, 8, 8 or 12 porters. Around it aro other men, who carry the umbrella of tho joss, tho long rod hoards on which aro inscribed his name and titles, the weapons with which he is to be defended against enemies, the flags and banners which strike terror into tho hearts of his foe, and there, of course, C ; is the perpetual baud of musio. It consists of a gong, a tom-tom, a drum, a clarinet and cymbals. Sometimes there aro two and even three clarinets, and sometimes they add a trumpet and even | a horn. Thu first combination is bad enough. It causes you to gnash your ■ teetli and desire to shoot somebody, j Uut the last is something frightful.

Would Kriid a Kook.

After tho second liar you close your ears with your fingers and escape. Aft- j er hearing it once I was firmly convinced that when the Hebrew priests and Levites made the walls of Jericho fall j down with the sound of their martial | music they simply hired some peripatetic Chinese orchestra that happened I to bo in the neighborhood. Then there are men and children in the parade, < some dressed in ordinary costume and j others in cheap, flimsy disguises. Prettiest of all are litte boys attired as warriors j riding on tiny ponies and donkeys and little boys and girls made up to represent angels on floats and platforms covered with flowers. Tho procession breaks up at the temple, because at that hour j the public banquet generally opens. It 1 forms again in tho evening and goes j

Assessor i ovor t * ,e biiiiio route, only now it is far See. Board of Heitltli ] more attractive. Torches, flambeaux, i

lanterns and trat span ucies are massed in confusion for tho entire line of i march. Every second some enthusiast in the parade or on tho sidewalk ignites an immense string of firecrackers on j tho end of a long polo to increase the birlliancy, the racket and the confusion. Not until tiie lights are all dim and the torches sparks ami embers does the marching cease and tho marchers retire to their houses. Tho larger tho crowd and the greater the noise the higher is the honor paid to the joss and the vil- !

lago fat hern and tho bigger tho buicom of the festival. Plenty to K»t. The banquet is spread in the quadrangle or ono of the long hails of the village temple. It is always a huge food, even at its smallest, lusting at least 12 hours. Those who have eaten all they can retire from tho festive hoard and let newcomer* fill their seats. At a festival given by tho viceroy of (^nangtuug the feast lasted six days and nights. All depends upon the amount of money tho village elders expend. At a banquet of this sort, quantity rather than quality appears to bo the prevailing principle. Whole roasted pigs, from little porcine babes up to 200 pound hogs, boiled pork, pigs’ liver, tripe, kidneys, feet, jowls, brain and ribs, fresh fish, smoked fish, dried fish, devilfish, chicken, dnek anti goose, boiled, roasted, steamed, stewed and fricasseed, crabs, prawns, shrimps, crawfish, mussels, scallops, periwinkles, sea conches, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, cabbage, pickled cabbage, onion, garlic, beaus, peas, rice, millet, lentils, cauliflower, leeks, shalot, chilois, ginger, fruits, preserves, candies, pastry, cake, nuts, dried fruits, sauces, tea, Chinese wines and liquors make up the lengthy bill of faro of the occasion. I must say that everything is well cooked and served. The whole roasted pigs would ha a revolution to many of our cooks. The skin is so crisp as to he genniue crackling, and the flesh within is so well done as to melt within tho lips. When brought from tho oven, it looks more like a rich, red carving rather than a substantial and soon to be*demolished roast. The boiled poultry, and especially ti e steamed, are as white as ivory. They may ho a trifle overcooked, but that in a land where gastric and enteric troubles are tho leading evil is an advantage rather than otherwise. Barring the whole roasts, everything else is served in rather small quantities on medium sized bowls and salvers. This prevents waste, and also the cousnmption of the more dainty dishes long before the collation is over. Tho cooking is done in tho temple likewise and within full view of the convives at the board and the people about the premises. Tli«* Drama. Everywhere something was going on at every moment. In one shady nook, j under a tree, a public reader was reciting some spirited tale to tho evident de- I light of a score of auditors. Ho held the j book in ins hand, but seemed to know each word by heart, as he seldom glanced at its pages. Ho iiad a pleasant manner and a good voice, but he pitched the latter in such a high key as to make it rather dissonant to a European ear. There was one theater devoted to j comedy and farce and a second to tragedy ami moral drama. These theaters are not buildings, as at homo, nor even inclosures. They are platforms about 20 J feet square, erected four feet above the i level of tho ground. The trunks and j properties form wings on either side of the stage and afford a partial privacy to the actors for dressing and undressing. In front of both shows wore chairs, stools and wooden benches, on which sat tho women, girls and little children of tho village. They Mere all exquisite- j ly neat, clean and nicely dressed. The j young girls wore gowns of bright col- [ ors or of white bordered with color. 1 They seemed alt absorbed by tho play and never permitted their eyes to wander from the stage. Some of them were very pretty, having milk and rose complexions, luxuriant black hair, large; brown eyes, good features and very | shapely figures. The silk trousers showed off the graceful outlines of their lower I limbs, it would have been a delightful picture but for the poor, disfigured feet, | which seemed all the more cruelly mou- i strous by the contrast. The Whole World Kin. There were marionettes, smaller than ours, with figures only 5 or 6 inches high, moved by silk threads so fine as to be invisible at the distance of a foot. There were “shadowgraphs" like those familiar to patrons of variety theaters. There were tiger theaters, queer little ! shows worked by a single performer as ( in Fuuch and Judy, but using a tiger as the hero and all sorts of other aui- | mals as his successive victims. It did j not appeal much to the grown folks, but was immensely popular with the little ones, who crowded the space in front of tho box and expressed the liveliest | terror and delight at the ferocious exploits of the great carnivore. There j were acrobats and jugglers, gladiators and gamblers. The gladiators were boys and youths trained to tho calling, who fought with sword against sword, shield and dagger against sword, shield and sword against spear, shield and dagger and doublo sword against single sword. | They were quite expert and alert and tireless to a remarkable degree. At the end of an encounter of a half hour’s duration they were almost as fresh as when they began their arduous labor. All these mountebanks and public entertainers aro welcome guests at a country festival and find in them their best harvests. They get each a modest stipend from (lie general fund and never pass tho hat without a reasonable tribute from their spectators. They pass : tho hat with great regularity. 1'olite uml ClwerfuL Beggars are conspicuous by their absence. Tho day before tho festivities tho committee foe tho chief or king of the beggars and tho village constable. 1 The services of tiie latter are seldom required, as the former curious character keeps all his unclean followers far away from the banqueting hall. An outsider cannot fail tube impressed with the good nature, politeness and hajipinesH of the people. They seem to ho devoting their entire energy to pure enjoyment. There is no quarreling or bickering anywhere. Every laxly is on his or her best behavior. There is no drunkenness. That irritating vice is practically unknown to these people, or, unpleasant to relate, is known as the “western baij-'rian’s joy. ” You leave the festival "T-th a happy feeling of having passed an enjoyable day.

THE MARRLE MINERS. LESS WORK AND LOWER WAGES UNDER DEMOCRACY.

Th*> Kc«lur«Ml Tariff Will Bring Marble From Italy ami Sweden—It Come* a* Itallast Free of Freight—The Foreign Worker* Get Half the I’ay of American*. An industry to which little attention •Perns to be given by persons outside of those interested in it is that of quarrying and manufacturing marble. I am not now s|M'aking of the beautiful Cararra marble used in statuary with which we delight to please our sense of the beautiful, but the more substantial and useful sort that is used for various bnildiug pnr]K>sos. The industry in this country alone represented an output of $3,705,000 iu 1802, and this means not only a valuable production from a commercial point of view, but valuable, too, for its intrinsic worth. The variety of American marble is so great and the quality so superior that for all purposes of ordinary use wo need not go out of our own country to purchase this most useful product of nature. Marble is found in eight states, and while mined most extensively iu Vermont tiie seven others make a good showing. This is a new industry for our country, too, and was only made possible by the encouragement afforded by a protective taiiff in 18i)2 the production had increased to its greatest value. Although, according to the order of progress, the year 1803 should have seen an increase on the production of the previous year, instead there was a falling off of $1,283,908, or 34.9 per cent, bringing tho value down to $2,411,092. So much for the effect upon one industry of a protective tariff and the threatening effect of a free trade tariff, it has amounted to more than a threat, however, for we find that tho new tariff has reduced tho former protective duty by 23 per cent in the case of unmanufactured marble and 10 per cent in the case of manufactured. If the house bill had become a law it would have been even worse, for that body proposed reducing the duty iu each ease to a greater extent than the senate bill. What these reductions mean and how they affect those who have heretofore been given employment by this new industry can best he understood by tho shutting down of the companies that quarry and manufacturer the marble— which has been shown by the falling off in value of production—or in the reduction in wages in other companies. Of course it is perfectly clear that producers in this country cannot afford lo compete with their European neighbors, especially in Italy, where the low wages are equal to less than half those received by people employed in tho marble industry in the United States. A gentleman from Sweden, who is authority upon the condition of the marble industry in his own country, says: “The price of labor is generally a little higher than for other kinds of work in Sweden, but as compared with wages in America those of Sweden are very low. A skilled stonecutter earns about $220 per year. ” Think of this difference with the American marble miners’ earnings of $405 a year and then consider how a protective tariff has made the wages here what they are and how its removal by tho “thimble ring tariff” will operate by the time another year rolls around. Having inquired into tint marble business, with tho result shown above, 1 readily understood how it is that the largest marble quarry in New York proposes shutting down the coming winter. While it is true that they employ only 108 hands, with a weekly output of 75 gangs per week, or an equivalent of G75 inches, yet if the same percentage of employees are to be thrown out of work in other sections what a vast number will be without employment, and what deprivation it means for their families 1 Euzabf.th Williams.

Our Trade With liraril. Please state the value of the goods that we sold to Brazil during the two years preceding the establishment of our reciprocity treaty and for two years after it T. F. Conboy Fine, N Y The McKinley tariff, under which our reciprocity treaty with Brazil was enacted, became law on Oct (!, 1891. We therefore give the total value of our exports to Brazil for the two preceding fiscal years ending Juno 30, 1889 and 1890; also for tho two following years, 1891 and 1892: Year ending Value of exports June HO. to Brazil. IfWl $9,270,511 1890 11,902,490 1891 14,040,273 1892 14,240,00' The details of this trade by articles are given in tho annual report of the chief of the bureau of statistics upon our foreign commerce fir the year i tiding June 30, 1893. They will be found upon pages 73-75. Application to Mr. Worthington Ford, chief of the bun m at Washington, will doubtless secure a copy. Tho figures show an increase of $5,000,000 in tho value of our ex ports to Brazil between 1889 and 1892. Out of our total exports, amouuting to $14,240,000 in 1892, no less than $11,659,281 were of goods affected by reciprocity. How Labor Lost Money, A Democratic tariff for revenue encourages tho importation of foreign made goods. Imported goods, being tho products of foreign labor, rob American labor of that amount of work. About every $2,000 worth of imported goods that can be made at home throws one American out of employment. Of the $866,000,000 of merchandise import* od in 1893, $445,000,000 could have been made at homo by Americans. Allowing $2,000 for each wage earner, then 222,500 wonld have thus found employment and received iu wages $108,000,000 hud it not been far tho fear of free trade.

Kansas City, Oct. 18. — Burglars killed Christiansen Pearson. He was a special policeman employed by the wealthy residents of Hyde Park to guard their houses.
