THE U_*ATUK-**T DEAD, 1 ' '
••;-.•.*• ; . ' ■• .t _*; *'* -.v.
Inearthing a Shipment for China— Ah
Sam's Resurrection Contract.
There may be something rational In - the
desire of the Chinese to have their bones
molder into dust in tho soil of China, bat
tbere is nothing human about tbe manner In
which these bones are dug out of tbe sand Id
the city cemetery. There are just now brine
-•-burned the bones of several hundred Mon
golians to be sent back to tbe Celestial king
dom, in accordance with the so era n cove
nant made by tbe various Chinese companies
with each of their members. From Nov. 17
until yesterday there have been resurrected
at tbe city cemetery about ISO coffins, witb
their decaying contents, and Xhis number
will probably see a large' increase before the
year expires. The cause of this wholesale ex
humation of bones is said to be connected
with C. C. O'Donnell'a election ascuroner. It
seems* tbat bis anti-Chinese denunciation
has bad some Influence npon tbe living Cui
t-cse, tbat in particular tbey are afraid be will
carry out bis threat of preventing the trans
fer of human bones to tbe land of tbeir birth,
and that for tbis reason tbey were undoing
the undertaker's work as fast as possible be
fore the doughty O* Dunn el I assumes charge
of the morgue depaitment of the munici
pality. Others, however, deny that appre
hension of tbat kind baa anything to do with
the matter, but say tbat a combination of cir
cumstances has brought about tbe transplan
tation movement. These circumstances are,
first, that November and- December are
"lucky" months; second, that a large num
ber of the dead are "ripe,'* having been in
the ground for two years or more; third, that
tbe finances of several Chinese companies
are in a flourishing condition; fourth, that
freight to China Is low, and, fifth, that human
bones have not been, and are not likely to
be. declared contraband of war by the French.
• But whatever may be the cause, the fact Is
that one "Sam," a semi-Americanized Chi
nese, bus taken a contract to resurrect sev
eral hundred of his deceased countrymen,
and that be is now at work carrying out bis
contract. He bas Ditched a tent in tbe plot
of the Fook Yam Ton g company, and every
morning at 7 o'clock be begins blowing a
Chine*, imitation of Gabriel's trumpet, witb
the result tbat towards evening several wagon
loads of bones, and sometimes more than
bones, come rolling " into town. Yesterday
Ah Sam waa digging up the women's cor
ner in the plot. Five living Chinese women
were ready to welcome tbe planted ones back
to light, and whenever a cover would be
knocked off tbe decaying coffins these cele s
lial beauties would eagerly, bend over th<
contents, without regard to the direction of
the wind, and begin a search for the Jewels
and money of the late lamented.' Generally
.'be bodies proved to be swathed in so much
cloth and blanketing that poking with a stick
would not . reveal tbe •treasures, and In
such cases the Mongol dame wou!.
daintily deposit their cigarette upon the
coffin's edge and dive into the horrible
mass with their fingers. The first article
looked for generally was tbe coin which Is
placet! in every Chinaman's mouth that be
may get to heaven's, gate with sufficient toll
to purchase admission. To search for tbis
in the depth of a grinning skull and to find
it was pronounced- as good luck by these
dames', who were said to be respectable mar
ried women, as otherwise tbey would not be
permitted to enter the buri.lpiot set apart
lor the lords of creation. The money found,
the carlo-** were tbe next prize, and if by '
chance a Utile bit of cartilage adhered to
the bit of si.ver and jasper tbe living bands
would pluck it away as if It was a sweet
morsal of prime roast pork. , Then tbe jas
per bracelets would re disengaged from the
bones of tbe band and forearm, and iid
done, the professional bone-picker would be
gin bis work. These bone-pickers plainly
were not . men of sentiment. "They went to
work in a matter-of-fact way; smoking cigars
furnished by - tbr friends of the deceased.
Their- bands were their tools, no matter bow
repulsive-looking'*? were the' contents of "a
coffin. .;■:■■
Beginning at the feet, these men - pick out
of the coffin every bit.- and-, sliver . of, bone,
can-fully . > masblng - any : soft . substance be
tween their • finger* *-to^ make sure that not
even a trace of bony structure remains lathe
land of ibe .white, devils. The bones are
then cleaned after -a; fashion, and If It is
found tbat even a joint of the' small toe Is,
missing, tbe grave, the coffin and the ground
are thoroughly searched.. .When ail .the'
bones nave been found tbey -arc -wrapped in
pieces of muslin, each part ot the body, by it
self, and then the whole is placed In a little
zinc-lined box. which is ostensibly the pack- •
age. which goes to China.' It is only.' ostensi
bly so, because the law compels "the Chinese' !
to solder up their cases' before they leave the
cemetery, but when these same cases reach
Chinatown it is said they are unpacked Into
large .Mixes and then' shipped >to China and
freight paid on these by measurement., Quite
often tbese sine boxes, which are supposed to
bave been sent to China, return to the ceme
tery for another in voice of bones, a proceed,
ing which is not encouraged by the superin
tendent •■'/ ' ".:['

ootblnc but bones, but nature does not al
ways obey tbe statute. Sometimes — in fact,
quite often — It preserves what it ought to
d« stroy, and when MMfe a plant Is dusr up a
position to windward is desirable. Tht- Chi
nese, however, do not mind tbe ' odor. "The
coin; the rings and the bracelets are appar
ently none tbe worst for their contact with
tbe putrid flesh. Yesterday afternoon the
crave dlcgers brought back to simliebt a eof-
Sn wblcb contained the remains of a woman
who bad been wrapped up In a red blanket.
It was said that she bad been buried for four
years. However tbat may be, she was all
there, harrit*:* her eyes, and for tbe lack of
thi-m she made op by perfuming the neigh
borhood for a quarter of a mile to the lee
ward. A Chin -st* damsel, quite undismayed
by the (lightly disadvantageous surround
ing*, cooly lifted up the left band to secure
the bracelet. She got the baud but not the
bracelet, for arm and hand separated, and
sbe bad to make a second grab for tbc coy
• ted article. When sbe bail secured It she
wiped it on a piece of piper and tbt'u sbe
capped It over her arm, where it will prob
ably remain, to be. eventually buried with
her. Tbe rule is not to allow corpses to be
taken away unless they are well decomposed.
But to ascertain if they are far enough gone
tbey have to be dog up and looked at, which
is quite as bad and dangerous as if ther
were taken away. Occasionally such a coffin
and Its contents are rcburied, but a* a rule
the superintendent of disinterments permits
the contractor to turn the content, into a
zinc lined coffin without their b-.dng fingered
by the bone picker. — San Francisco CArow

'•My mother," writes Mr. Reg. Whitney,

and found great relief in the use of St. Jacobs
Oil, which has a world-wide reputation as a
certain core for rheumatic complaints.*'
MOROSIM'S COMPLAINT.
* The ex-Miss Moro-ini's appearance has
put a few curiosity dollars in the pockets of
her manager and ber husband, but tbe vul
var anxiety to see her is already over.
Speaking of her public debut to the writer,
her father said the other day, in his emphatic
Anglo-Italian vernacular:
"I cannot understand why tht- press Is so
cruel to me. She cuts my heart all the time.
Is it because Ido not speak to tbe reporters
who besiege me, or because 1 am a friend of
Mr. Gould I But if I refuse to speak of her,
it is because I cannot speak without tears
rushing to my eyes; and if I am a friend of
Mr. Gould it is because our business intimacy
Is of very long funding, and be was always
as loyal to me as I was to bim. Tbey tell me
I was not liberal enough with mv children
and did not give tbem enough opportunities
for social enjoyment. Look ber c—theye — they
could always do what they liked borne ami
invite anybody, poor or rich. I took them
to Newport one summer and tbey bad all tbe
best young men around them. Victoria had
to sing once in a charity concert at Cbicker
ing Hall, and came to me saying, 'Papa, I
want to be dressed like Patti.' I said 'all
right, go and order what you want' She or
dered a dress of SI, 100, and then came and
said she wanted the diamonds, too. Al
right. A necklace, solitaire earrings, brace
lets, pins and wbat uot. I paid 160,000 for
jewelry for that one night. These diamond*
are in the vault yet, and I intended to give
them to ber when she married. Now, could
any father do more? And what does she do?
Sbe runs away with a scamp of a coachman,
who tried once to upset and kill me. More
than that, sbe comes to sing in Tonkers
when ber mother is nearly dying, and takes
a German bras-i band from the street to pa
rade her arrival. Now what do you think of
that And nere I see my name all the time
in the papers." .
Tbe sturdy old sailor and Garibaldlan war

-By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws
which govern the operations of digestion and nu
trition, and by a careful application of the tins
properties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr. Bppa has
provided our breakfast . tables with a delicately
flavored bererage which may save us many heavy
doctor's bills. It Is by the judicious use of tuck
articles of diet that a constitutor: may be gradu
ally built up until strong enough to resist every
tendency of disease. Hundreds of auntie mala
dies are floating around aa ready to attack wherev
er there Is a weak point. We may escape many a
fatal shaft oy keeping ourselves well fortified
with pure blood and a properly nourished frame."
