They Arrived in Good Tlnie Yesterday
Morning.
as
Almost every citizen of Astoria) as he
cume down town yesterday morning,
mude this Inquiry of each passing ac
quaintance:
"Have they come?"
We answer, "They have."
They registered at the Occident
follows:
J. C. Stanton, New York.
J. T. Campbell, Detroit.
E. A- Seeley. B. Seeley, F. II. Btrong,
W. II. Kennedy, B. H. Arnold and J.
M. Tourney, of Portland.
Messrs. Btanton and Campbell were
closeted with the local sub-committee
all of yesterday afternoon. It Is under
stood that a proposition was submitted
to the committee, the nature of which
has been the subject of a great deal of
speculation, but which will not be made
public before today, or possibly Mon
day. It Is safe to say the prevailing
rumors as to the kind of proposition re
ceived are not well founded, as we have
it from good authority that no one has
been permitted to know what actually
Irannplred.
"Crystal's Cross" will be presented by
the Btuttz Company for both matinee
and night performance. Tomorrow
night "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be pre
sented. One hundred chairs have been
put In Liberty Hall and can be re
served at 60 cents, the benches at 35
cents. The raised s?at as usual at
25 cents; children 15 cent.

A MAMiV tihtiiMtb lmtfARE;
'. The monthly bills of tile Washington
Gaslight Company ar printed on paper
of a peculiar dirty yellow1 tint, which
happens to 1S the exact hue of the
Chinese emblem of mourning. The long
strips are left regularly at, the doors
of all houses in the city, and at the
Chinese Legation along with the rest.
Just after the change of ministers the
strip was left as usual In the vestibule
of the legation, and, being carried to
the new : minister, affected him pro
foundly. It was evidently intended, he
thought, as a notification of somebody's
death, and as It was left, at the Lega?
tlon door It doubtless Indicated the be
reavoment of some family high In offl
clal life.
The minister at once gave orders to
close the house. The usual instruments
of mourning were brought out, the
shutters were drawn, and paescrsby for
the remainder of the evening were re
galed with a combination of curious
noises, such' as the Chinese only know
how to utter when engaged In bewailing
the dead.

FISH HAVE NO SOULS.
The Moslems, like the Jews, were
commanded not to make Imoges of any
thing in heaven or in earth, and Mo
hammed added: "Therefore, if ye must
make images, make Images of things
which have no souls, such aa trees or
plants." His Sunnlte followers have
never transgressed this rule, and their
friezes and capitals and palenlng are
either In geometrical patterns, or are
ornamented with symmetrically twined
boughs and leaves.
The Hindu, on the other hand, never
loses an opportunity of introducing!
gods, elephants, tigers, horses and birds i
anything living that he can think St1,
except flsh; for fish have no souls, and
the believer in the transmigration of
the spirit eats fish with impunity, al
thouirh he would rather die than eat
l.eef, and has religious scruples with
game. Marion Crawford, In the Cen
tury.
