a Bud<lbl.t
A month ago the high priest of the
temple across the creek from the for*
eign sett ement of Yokohama died and
his body was cremated. His agues were
placed in an urn and then in a pine box
in the shape of a miniature temple, and
the priests from all the diocese were
summoned to take part in the funeral
services. The long interval between the
death and final rites robbed the affair
of any exhibition of noignant grief,
and every thing was given up to the
exact forms and elaborate ceremonies
of the Buddhist funeral ritual. The son
of the high priest succeeded to his
father's office by inheritance, and he
prepared himself for the services by
days of fasting and prayer, and at the
ceremonies knelt below the officiating
priest and wore the plain white robes
of a mourner. He had no part in the
service, and was like a statue until he
rose and, taking the mortuary tablet
from the altar, walked behind the cas
ket from the temple to the graveyard.
The priests came from near and far.
Some arriving by train on the day and
at the hour of the funeral, and, hurry
ing to the temple with servants carry
ing bags full of ceremonial robes at their
heels, slipped their brocades on in the
ante-room and joined the solemn com
pany sitting in rows like so many im
ages. The hundred and odd priests
sat at either side of the altar with the
casket before it, and for general effect
nothing was ever more dazzling than
that row of smooth-faced, shaven-head
ed priests in superb brocade garments
that glowed with all the richest colors
and glistened with gold thread.
The
services consisted in chanting by all
the priests in chorus, and in responses
to the intoned readings of the high
priests. The big temple drum was
struck st stage.- of the chanting, and
the priests played on an instrument
that resembled the bundle of reeds or
pipes that the god Pan played in Greek
mythology. . The noise was a harsh,
shrill wail, combining the worst of
bagpipe and flute melody.
They
chanted from open books, and, stand
ing, held plates of pierced brasswork
from which they sifted the leaves of
the icho tree at regular intervals, these
leaves being prayer symbols in the
Buddhist service. While the chanting
and pipe playing was going on, the
friends of the deceased came forward
one by one, and, kneeling at the edge
of the mats, prostrated themselves in
prayer and sprinkled incense in the
large bronze burner.
Later the in
cense burner and the box incense was
passed before the priests, each one mut
tering a prayer and dropping a pinch
of fragrant powder on the coals.
As the procession of priests wound
out through the crowded court yard,
passed under the heavy gabled gate
way and down the long terrace steps
to the street, it was a brilliant and
dazzling spectacle. Their rich bro
caded robes »’tone with gold thread,
and many of them were fifty, sixty and
more years old, heirlooms handed
down from one priest to another, and
now priceless and impossible to dupli
cate. The rich, soft old colors, toned
by age, are as different from the gay-
ish colors of the modern dye pots as
possible, and except in temple services
and at the great theaters one seldom
sees these old brocades now. An at
tendant carried a large red umbrella
over the head of each priest, and as
the line of rainbow oolor and glisten
ing bullion threads came down the
long terrace steps, it was a fine pic
ture. As the procession went out the
long street crowded solidly with Japa
nese, pvery thing was swallowed up
and hidden but the red umbrellas, and
these flamingo signals alone marked
the line of the funeral train. At the
graveyard there was more chanting,
incense food and Movers were laid at
the tomb, and the ashes of the h:gh
priest were finally at rest*— Yokohama

WEALTHY
FUNERAL.
A visitor to the Osage Reservation,
Indian Territory, if lie has a mind to
study tho human rave under varying
conditions, finds much of interest. He
is inter primos among the aristocrats.
The Osage Indians are about the only
example now left in the United States
of a real aristocracy. They do not
depend upon Government rations, as
do the Cheyennes and others, at all,
but have enough of their own undis
puted property to make them the
wealthiest community in the country.
Besides the land of the reservation,
which belongs to them by a title hal’d
to assail, they have about $7,000,000
bearing five per cent, interest in the
hands of the Government. They are
paid about $250,000 a year in cash.
The entire tribe numbers only 1,600,
so that they are actually the richest
body of people we have.
The Osages have all the attributes of
an aristocracy. They own the land,
do absolutely no work, have plenty of
money, know nothing of barter and
Bale, and therefore not much of the
meanness which characterizes all com
mercial classes. They envy nobody,
and are satisfied with themselves and
their customs. With the virtues of
aristocracy they have its vices. With
generosity they have shiftlessness and
laziness in perfection. Though mag
nificent pastures lie before them for
miles, few of them take the trouble to
own cattle, the majority preferring to
buy beef cattle already slaughtered
and cut up from the traders. They
are not even hunters and fishers. Their
lives are spent in lying ¿round under
tents and shanties, eating to repletion
and filling their blood with impurities
which they do not take exercise enough
to get rid of. Bad habits have brought
on bronchial aud scrofulous diseases,
which are helping to still further re
duce their number. They have no
faith in white physicians, and their
own medicine-men have as much influ
ence as one hundred years ago.
Each member of the tribe, including
women and children, receives about
one hundred dollars a year. The
more wives and ttliildren an Osage has,
therefore, the richer ho is. In spite of
this encouragement the tribe is de
creasing. A white physician at the
agency estimates that the rate of de
crease is not less than two per cent, a
year among the full bloods. The half-
bloods are increasing. It can be at
once reckoned that in another half cen
tury the full-bloods will have gone,
and the splendid inheritance will be in
the possession of white men and their
children, even if no new policy is
adopted by the Government to hasten
the catastrophe.
The full-bloods are nearly all honest
and manly in their way. They have an
idea that every thing on the reservation
belongs to them, and they go behind the
counters and among the goods of the
post-traders as freely as though they
were proprietors. Up to a certain point
they understand business—debit and
credit—but not much beyond the sim
plest forms. As might be expec ed,
they are chronically in debt. They
want to buy every thing they see, and
think little of prices, and give away as
readily as they buy. Other tribes not
so well provided with worldly goods
are fond of visiting the Osages, andun
these occasions the custom of “smok
ing” presents works to the disadvan
tage of the wealthier. Several hundred
ponies and large amounts of various
property have thus been given to the
Raws and other poorer tribes within a
few years.
Can the Osages be civilizedP Of
course they can. They are not civil
ized, to be sure. They speak little
English, and wear the blanket and
breech-clout; they allow their women
to die by scores and compel them to do
all the work; they are too lazy to raise
cattle when pasture and feed cost
neither money nor work; they keep up
the dances and paints, and cut their
hair in helmet fashon. All these things
they do, but they could be easily taught
to adopt the customs of civilization.
Five years of education scientifically
applied would make them equal to the
Cherokees in civilization, and superior
to them in force of character.— Kansas

Omaha Men Divide a ••Pot" of

Yesterday evening a Bee reporter
had the pleasure of meeting the two
happiest men in Omaha. It was at
the restaurant and saloon of F. Pop
pendick, at the corner of Howard and
Thirteenth Sts. Mirth and merriment
were the order of the day and on mak
ing inquiry it was ascertained that
William Poppendick, the genial host
of the saloon, and Robert Price, whole
sale butcher, of Tenth Street, were the
j. mt winners of a fourth share of the
third capital prise of $50,000 in the
Ixiuisiana State Lottery. 21,301 was
the lucky number and was one of the
four purchased by the gentleman
named for $20. On receiving the list
of winning numbers the ticket was at
once placed in the hands of the First
National Bank and yesterday the full
amount of the prize, less a small sum
for collection, was paid over by tBe
bank to Mr. Poppendick and the “pot”
duly divided with his pard. “ No, ”
eaid Mr. Poppendlck, “the money was
not here for Christmas, but I ain’t kick
ing about that, it was welcome just the
same and will be a good start for the
new year. Ever speculated before—
well, not much. I have invested $8
in the lottery on previous occasions
but never drew anything." Mr. Pop
pendick came to this city from Topeka
some seven months ago and is well
known as a saloon man all over Kansas.
Mr. Price has been in business in
Omaha for a considerable time. Both
gentlemen have received the congrat-
ulaaons of hosts of friends.—OmoAn

A Sad Ceremony Conducted in a Solemn
and Reverential Manner.
The spring wagon which served fora
hearse in this remote region was fol
lowed by a long line of carriages, farm
wagons and men and boys riding on
horseback. For miles around the peo
ple had come to pay the last sad
tribute of respect to this aged Friend,
whose four-score years had been so
full of good works that sorrow was
universal. Child, grandchildren and
great-gram’ohildren all were here.
The procession stopped before the little
meeting bouse. The casket was taken
within. All being seated, the Friends
remained with bowed heads awaiting
the direction of thespirit as to howthis
funeral service should be conducted.
Many minutes of silence followed.
Then a middle-aged man with a noble
countenance arose, and clasping his
hands above his cane, he offered up a
most beautiful prayer, commending
the life of the departed one as a grand
example for the youthful to imitate,
reciting how through many severe
trials she had always preserved a spirit
of calm resignation, bc'ievmg that
"He doeth »11 things well." When
later I gazed upon the placid face,
where time or trouble had left scarcely
a wrinkle, and saw there sweet con
tent and perfect peace written in char
acters all might read. I knew he had
spoken most truly.
The prayer concluded, another pe
riod ot silent waiting ensued, when the
only daughter arose, and, with face
turned Heavenward, in trembling tones
she said: “Into Thy hands, oh Father,
we commend her spirit." It was a
touching sight, all the more impres
sive because it was so different from
the established forms which govern
such occasions In other churches.
Now the people looked upon the face
ot their friend and neighbor for the last
time, then followed her mortal remains
to the cemetery, a few rods distant
from the meeting-house, and left her
there to sleep beneath the grand old
