OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 25. 1904. 10 TUP DIG UP BONES SO SOULS MAY REPOSE Last Relics of 60 Chinamen Are Exhumed at Lone Fir and Will Be Buried in the Orient to Enable Souls to Enter Heaven. Sixty funeral urns, contslning the for mer tenements of CO celestial souls, have Just been shipped to China from Von Fir cemetery to be burled In the Flowery Kingdom for future resurrec tion. The work of exhuming the hiidtee ai begun two week? gib. and h ooen practically completed. It 1 a custom unlveraally observed by Chinamen Whenever a yellow corpus la hurled In any country foreign to his native land It is the Chinese belief that his soul files wanton throughout space until the body Is transplanted across the gea. It Is only Within the mighty walls Of the Flowery Kingdom that the dead shaJl rise on the resurrection day. Mow They Will When Gabriel's slant-eyed prototype shall sound his bugle note upon that day there will be a universal srlslng of the Chinese deed. Hundreds of millions of souls will shake off the pall of death and. reincarnated In the bodies they pos sessed before death, shall do homage to the great Confucius for the rest of eter nity. But there Is eternal doom for him who sleeps outside the great walls. of the empire. Beyond that hairier the sound of the bugle cannot penetrate ana sound of the bugle cannot peneiraie ana journey tnrougn m .... . he will sleep forever, unredeemed andXaccost and deal out bitter retribution to a ki. i ui H frnm life WHS Because of this religious belief, no ploue Think will permit a relative or friend to remain burled in a distant land. At Intervals of evory eight or ten years the foreign Chinese cemeteries are robbed of their dead and the bones are shipped back to the orient for burial. For many daya Chinamen have wended their way out to Lone Fir. many bear ing small bundles wrapped In paper or In cloth. And on their return they also frequently carry the small bundles, though they have grown In weight. Few passengers on the cars have been aware of the gruesome nature of the contents of the bundles. The work of exhuming the bodies, however, hss been under the care of white workmen. The BROWNELL SAYS HE DOESN'T LIKE PLUMS Bland and smiling. George C.
