During tbe morning services at the Methodist church yesterday. Rev. Asa Sleeth brought up the subject af the famine in India, and urged the people In general to do all in their power to ward relieving the starving people of that far-off country. He gave statis tics to show the number of people w ho were in need, and other important in formation regarding the deplorable condition of affairs in that British pos session. This is, indeed, a worthy cause, and any one who feels able to make a con tribution toward the same is requested to notify Cliff Wescott, who has been appointed custodian of the fund that may be raised for that purpose.

METAMORPHOSIS OF ITALIANS House He something la a Neighbor Failed to See. "I bought a very powerful hand tele scope last summer." said a man of af fairs who amuses himself by dabbling in science, "and was star-gazing on my roof almost every pleasant night." quotes the New Orleans Times-Demo crat. "One evening I was seated up there with my glas3 when my atten tion was attracted by a little square of yellow toward the southwest. Out of purely Idle curiosity I lowered the telescope in thai direction, and wa3 startled to And myself looking at a man In his shirt-sleeves seated at a table In what seemed to be a study of some kind, evidently engaged In writ ing. He was marvelously distinct, and when 1 was about to turn away he sud denly clapped both hands to hi3 fore head and then threw thera outward with an Indescribably tragic gesture. Needless to say, I threw scruples to the wind and kept my glass on the spot. In the next five minuter the man went through the most singular and inex plicable performance. He would write for a few seconds, bring his hands to gether in an attitude of prayer, write again. Jump up and pace the floor, slap his head, write some more, clutch at the empty air, and, altogether, he piqued my curiosity to the highest point. I finally concluded he was an author in the throws of composition, and called to my brother-in-law, who sometimes scribbles versrs, to come and give an expert opinion. 'Come and see a fellow-poet in a fine frenzy,' I called, and he came up in his paja mas. I trained the instrument for him along the edge of the parapet. 'Be hold the bard!' I said. 'Bard, your grandmo'her!' he exclaimed, after a long look through the tube. 'Why, I know that man well. He's a boot and shoe drummer.' 'Drummer or not,' I replied, 'he is certainly writing a poem probably a sonnet on the immor tality of the insole. Otherwise, how do you account for his pawing the air and smiting his brow?" My brother-in-law looked again. Then he roared with laughter. 'Bah!' he said, 'he's not wrestling with the divine a. flatus. He's scrapping with mosquitoes.' I took another survey myself and reluct antly admitted the correctness of the theory. I had never thought of mos qultoes." Ontrtut of Newly Arrired Immigrant and Their Americanized Relation. There was a meeting outside the barge office. A batch of Immigrants bad come in, and Giulia and her man were In waiting to receive some new ly arrived relatives. Giulia was brave In her finest and most gorgeous rai ment, combining a reckless love of bright colors with an ardent desire to look American. Her hat was a mar vel of Third avenue millinery. Her bright dress was after the most ap proved autumn model, alwayg. of course, from the Third avenue stand point, and the pendant earrings, great yellow brooch, and Jingling bracelets were dazzling to behold. To crown all, and as an irresistible finish, she had squeezed her plump hands into a pair of yellow kid gloves, momentarily threatening to burst. Pietro's scarier necktie, generous expanse of 6hirt front, low-cut mottled waistcoat, and highly gilded watch chain limited his powers of self-adornment, but hi3 lit tle wife cheerfully made up for all he lacked. Shrill cries of "Ecco! Ecco!" turnau ife dull eyes of three persons In their direction, and. extricating themselves from the excited crowd, they withdrew to contemplate each other at their leisure. The contrast was painful on one side, pathetically ludicrous on the other. Francisco and his sisters gazed blankly at their changed and resplendent relations. The man had on tight breeches of homespun, a gray flannel shirt with a red cotton handkerchief knotted at the throat, and wa a picturesque speci men of Tuscan manhood. The women were bare-headed; covert glances had been exchanged over Giulia's startling headgear. Thfy wore huge, roughly cobbled boot-, and short petticoats displaying striped blue and yellow stockings, and knit worsted shawls of variegated colors were tightly drawn about the shon'd ts and fastened at the opened throat with monstrous cor al brcoches, the crowning glory of their attire. Bur Giulia! Truly she was a queen in comparison! Never mind! Americanisms are quickly ac quired, and if the brother is lucky six months may see their metamorphosis New York Sun. A ROMANCE COUNTED OUT. Ensign Powell and Wife Had Alwaya CHINESE FUNERAL KITES. MUST WORK TOGETHER. Wllllard Wlae Telia About How the Ce leatlala llary Their Dead. Denver, Colo, Mar. 30. I was for tunate enough to witness a Chinese fu neral the other day. The ceremonies attendant upon tbe interment were elaborate and unique, and thinking an account of it might be of interest to News readers, I will describe them. Yee Hop, the deceased Cninamao, committed suicide a few days ago. This Is something very rare among the Chi nese, and when it does occur great paina are taken by the friends of the deceased to ''fool" the devil, and give the dead man a chance to slip into Chi nese heaven before Satan can catch him. Immediately after the discovery of Yee Hop's body, bis Chinese friends killed six black cbickenp. The devil has to pass through each of these be fore be can get at the Chinaman, who, if he is expeditious, can slip into heaven before the devil catches him. The body lay in Etate -several days, and was then temporarily interred in Riverside. When the flesh has decayed the bones will be dug up, polished and sent back to China. Tbe funeral prc oeesion consisted of tbe hearse, a hack containing the "mourners," and an express wagon containing the bedding end other personal property of tbe de ceased. Banners covered witb Chin ese inscriptions floated merrily in the wind from toth horse and hack, and the procession moved at a fast trot from the city to the cemetery. Arriving at the grave, the colln was laid upon the trestles above the grave, and a bright red cloth, covered with Chinese characters, spread upon it. A cloth was then also spread at tbe head of the grave, upon which was laid materials for a feast, the viands Including roast chicken, rice, bard boiled eggs, oranges and roast pork, and bottles of wine witb -a teapot of tea. Chop sticks with tiny teacups were laid for all the mourners and for tbe dead Chinaman, his spirit being supposedly present. In the meantime. Parents Should Be larefnl Not to Oues tlon Each Other's Dec! Ions. Before giving a command a mother should ask herself if it is necessary .and also whether she is prepared to en force It in case of disobedience; if she Is not, the command had better not he given, says the Ladies' Home Journal The authority of one parent must be upheld by the other if the best results are to be secured in the government of their children. Whatever their private differences of opinion may be, neither should ever, by word or look, question the decisions of the other in the pres ence of the children. The word of either 6hould be law in the household, and this cannot be If the partner who should be the mo-t loyal In upholding it is an opposing power. The line of conduct to be followed should be de elded between then, and In unexpected emergencies the private Judgment of one should give way to the expressed wish of the other. "Your father wishes It," or "Your mother thinks it best," should bring at least outward agree ment. "If a house be divided against Itself, that house cannot stand," and If the parents are p! l one against the other the effect o:i C:e children will be disastrous to any sort of discipline The fullest liLcrty is found within the limits of law, and children who are trained to obedience can be permitted far more freedom than those who can not be trusted out cf sight for fear the liberty permitted them will degenerate Into license. The child whom experl ence has convinced that his parents' prohibitions-are not arbitrary, but are founded on kindness and Justice, will not often disregard them. Lapses there may be, as no human beings are per fect. But th !apr,rs will not be many, and from the nature of the case they will bring their own punishment, con vincing the offender, as nothing else will do, that the path of obedience 13 not only the safest, but the pleasantest to walk In. 'The I'endulam. By a curious coincidence I had read Poe's story of "The Pit and the Pen dulum" that morning out under a tree in Sussex, says Kenneth Herford in the Detroit Free Press. "Get your hat," said my host after luncheon. 'and we'll drive over to Rye." In that quaint little old-world town, one of the cinque ports of England, you remem ber, there stands a mos and ivy cov ered church, tucked away between the houses, and surrounded by the yard filled with tipping, tilting tombstones, :om whose faces time has erased the written words. It was inside tbli church I eaw the pendulum. I had never thought Poe's affair could have been genuine, but the Rye church pen dulum i3 Its counterpart. The dock to which it Is attached hings against a beam away up in the arch. The face is no larger than the bottom of a pail, but the arm of the pendulum stretches down to within two feet of the people's heads. It must be twenty-eight feet in length As it swings it marks an arc of the width of the nave by one great swoop, like that of a huge bird. The ticks of the clock are forty sec onds apart and loud enough to break up a political meeting. Tourists are constantly visiting the old church Just to see the penduium, and the caretaker told me that not one out of ten of them but had been drawn there to con firm the story of Poe's pendulum. Been Sweethearts. Ensign "Joe" Powell, who followed after Hobson In a steam launch on the flight the latter blew up the Merrlmac in the narrows of Santiago harbor, was married recently at Oswego, N. Y., tc Miss Bertha Allen Osterhout. Both were born and reared In Oswego, hut pretty much all northern New York took an interest In the event. Some months ago one of the New York Sun day papers printed a story about En sign Powell being nursed back to life by Miss Osterhout In one of the mili tary hospitals after the Santiago cam paign, and founded the romance on this experience. This tale gave Just and serious offense to the many friends of both parties, because it wa3 untrue and grossly irreconcilable with the character of either the ensign or his bride. They were children together, and Just belonged, like Dick and Maisle, in Kipling's story. At least, that Is all the world knows about their romance, or is likely ever to know, for neither rarty has any sympathy with grandstard plays. Indeed, Powell's modesty Is his strongest weakness. He has refused several offers from magazines to write the story of his experience on the night the Merrlmac wa3 sunk. The only authentic story yet -published of that daring perform ance more darir?, some naval men have said, than Hobson's own was In complete, and it was wrung from the ensign almost without his consent.cer- tainly without any encouragement from him. Ensign Powell belonea to the construction corps, having gradu ated number three in his class at An napolis In 1898. He volunteered for the line when the war broke out, but has now gone back to his own depart ment. Thus he will be able to snend his honeymoon in Glasgow, having been detailed for construction work on the Clyde for six months. One of the open secrets of the navy is that Eng land and France, Just before the war, withdrew from American naval gradu ates the ancient privilege of studying at their shipyards, for the reason that the Yankee boys had got inro the habit of winning all the prizes. L".ely, In pursuance of her friendly policy to ward Uncle Sam, England "his restored the courtesy, and Ensign Po.vell 13 one of the first Americans to profit by this freak of international comity.
