HIS OWN UNDERTAKER.
Henry Kresz Makes All Arrangements
for His Funeral.
From the Cincinnati Knguirer.
A funeral cortege wended slowly along
yesterday afternoon from No. 'JS4 Central
nvenue to Spring Grove Cemetery. To the
casual observer it didntt differ from other
grim funeral processions that daily wend
their way through the stri’ets bearing dust
to dust. To those acquainted with the cir
cumstances it was weinl, sad mid singular.
It was a funeral every detail of which had
been arranged beforehand bv the deceased.
The deceased was Henry JCre.sz, the pro
prietor of n large restaurant and saloon nt
Nos. 084 and ON. Central avenue. For the
past four mouths Kresz, who was a man 57
years old, and the father of grown children,
had been ailing and complaining, hut was
still 11 1>le to attend to bis daily business.
From the symptoms of his complaint the
doctors diagnosed liver complaint, presum
ably a tumor on the liver. The trouble
grew more and more aggravated, until some
days ago the attending physicians decided
an operation to lie

to live, grasped nt this one chance ns the fa
bled drowning man at a straw. Thursday
last was the day appointed for the opera
tion. As the day flint was to decide the life
or death for him approached, the patient Is
gan to make the most complete and system
atic arrangements to meet the worst, should
it com p The coolness and courage that the
man displayed were most remarkable. He
settled all his worldly affairs and

He gave minute directions ns to the style

and not recovery, in which lie was to lie
laid. He ordered that his grave should lie
cemented. He seleetisl Philip Meydor to
officiate at the organ at his obsequies, and
directed that the funeral services should lie
hold in the hall above his place of business.
These and all other final details attended to,
he stepped up to his liar Thursday morning
—the morning of tile day appointed for the
operation, which meant to him
TIME OR ETERNITY.
this world or the next—and invited all pres
cut to have something with him, saying,
“Bovs, have a drink with me; it may he the
last one.” The parting bumper was drank
in the silence of sad hearts, for Kresz was
popular among his acquaintances, and well
liked and esteemed by nil who knew him.
He then, before tho arrival of the surgeons,
went so far as even to prepare the operating
table on which he was to he laid. The opera
tion wits performed at 10 o’clock Thursday
morning, Doeb rs Conner, Mitchell aud Car
son officiating.
THE SURGEONS FOUND
that tho diagnosis of the case had been a
correct one. The patient was suffering
from tumor on the liver. The operation
further revealed that to attempt to remove
the tumor would certainly prove fatal,
while to allow it to remain undisturbed
would as surely produce death within ton
days, at the very outside. They, of course,
chose the latter alternative. The keen
knives were sheathed, the oases of surgical
instrumental closed, and the patient was left
to the inevitable. He lingered, conscious
and clear of intellect, through Thursday
aud Thursday night and up to 11 o’clock
Friday morning, when he expired. The
burial yesterday was just as the deceased
had directed it. Kresz leaves a wife and
six full-grown children.
JOSS STICKS ABOUT HIS GRAVE.
Extraordinary Obsequies of Lee Tong,
Chinese Freemason.
From the yew York HcraUi.
Mott street swarmed with mournful
Chinamen yesterday afternoon. One of
t heir numlter, and a prominent one, too, la v
dead in a neighboring undertaker shop
ready for burial. For an hour before the
funeral, which w as at 'J o’clock, sad-eyed
Mongolians doffed their hats at the shop
door, and trending on tiptoe, softly entered
to gdze on the face of Leo Tong, their de
fatted brother. Tong was a Freemason,
lie belonged to the Confucius Lodge, of
which he was official interpreter. He died
on Sunday ut No. 10 Mott street of con
sumption.
The dead Chinaman was ntioiit 30 years
old, poor, hut popular, and was buried bv
the Luue Gee \ ee Tong, u society to which
he belonged. Tiie ceremony was peculiar
and interesting. It was the ancient
Masonic service, and full of all sorts of
queer but imposing observances.
STRANGE FUNERAL RITES. .
Sharply at 2 o'clock a chair was placed at
tile foot of the coffin, aud on it were laid a
quaint box of candies, two large and highly
ornamented candles, a how l of rice and
little teacups. Two fellow Masons squatted
down by the sides of the chair with an odd
looking’teapot, which they used to till the
Cups with as they were emptied by the
mourners. Two by two the friends of the
departed Celustiol, after bowing thr<>e times
to the coffin, knelt down, some kissing the
floor, and sprinkled tea alxnit a Targe
wooden dish that was placed in front of the
chair. Then they waved lighted joss sticks
until the whole room was full of the smell
of burning cedar.
One of the mourners in passing the head
of the deceased Chinaman w as observed to
drop a small coin into bis mouth.
The ceremony took up an hour. Then
the coffin, well packed with Chinese playing
can Is, was. after the dead man’s lips had
been moistened for the last time with tea,
declared ready for removal to Evergreens
Cemetery. Nearly UK) Chinamen followed
it there m carriages, scattering colored im
pers all the way to keep off the evil spirits.
Tlie interment was in a plot lielonging to
the Chinese society, hut not lieforo used bv’
them, known us Bathside,
CHINESE MASONIC ’HONOUR.
When the funeral had entered the ceme
tery the Chinese Mason; put on pa[icr
aprons, threw away their cigarettes and
grew perfectly silent, Tho tilling of the
grn\e was begun nearly as siion ns the
coffin was lowered. As’the earth fell the
Master Workman of tho lodge snid the
ancient Mongolian ritual, the mourners
chanted and then eai-h one lulled up his
apron into a tiny w and aud let it drop gently
into the last tilling grave. After that one
by one they knelt down at the foot, bowing
three times mid uttering a low, wailing
noise, rose ouiekly and passed away.
During the services at the grave Chinese
candles were lighted, and, w ith hurtling joss
sticks, w ere left smoking on the newly made
mound. A fat, well browned chicken w*us
also deposited there, and the sward well
carpeted with the many colored papers of
the kind thrown from the carriages.
Altogether the services, from the earnest
manner of the tmrtieipunts, impressed one us
being very solemn and picturesque.
HER PAPA BADLY SCARED.
And Miss Paturel Wondering What it
Was All About.
From the Sew York Time ...
A pretty and lively little French girl
caused more excitement in Fort Green
Place, Brooklyn, last night, than the resi
dents of that exclusive neighborhood have
experienced for some time. Harriot Future]
is her name, mid she is not yet is years of
age. Her father is Anton Frulerirk Paturel,
a wealthy wholesale druggist in Duane
street, New York. He hns a handsome resi
dence at I’JO Fort Green Place, where his
daughter and two sous, Henry and Freder
ick, live with him.
Some months ago Harriet made the ac
quaintance of a handsome young English
man named Henrv Fox, who was employed
in a Fulton street paint shop. He stands
over six feet in his socks, is broad shoul
dered, and has u slight drawl in Ins tones.
He began a correspondence with Harriet,
which she willingly continued until a few
d*y ago, when her father accidentally
found nnd read one of the tender missives.
In it he discovered a sentence which startled
him. It read as follows:
“i intend to take you to England, imr
darling, nnd there introduce you to my
mother, who will welcome you as her
daughter.”
Mr. Pnturel couldn’t stand that, so ho
sent for his daughter and forbade her hav
ing anything more to do with her English
lover. A strict watch was put upon her,
and it was found that she was meeting Fox
clandestinely.
Last evening Harriet had arranged to
meet Fox again, and in order to prevent her
from doing so her brothers Henry and
Frederick undertook to amuse her. But
she proved more than a match for them,
ami 'luring the progress of a game of liide
nnd-seek she suddenly disappeared. The
brothers searched high and low, but with
out success, and finally appealed to the
police to aid in the hunt. Old Mr. Paturel
was terribly excite!, and felt certain that
his daughter had been married and would
sail for Europe on one of to-day’s steamers.
Inspector Reilly detailed Detective Halil
on the ease, and when he, with a swarm of
reporters in his wake, arrived within 100
feet, of the Paturel mansion ho found the
supposed runaway standing under a tree
talking to a girl friend. A most innocent
look Was on her face, and she quietly asked
if her brothers were very warm. Very
willingly she went home and contritely
kissed tier father. He thereupon opened
several cases of wine and made merry. The
house was thronged by neighbors who came
to sympathize and to gratify their curiosity.
Tlic heroine was the coolest person in the
room, and professed great ignorance of the
cntise of all the disturbance. She had not
seen Mr. Fox, she said, aud had not heard
from him for several days. In spite or this
denial Miss Harriet was seen in close com
munion, at the comer of Fort Green Place
and Hansom place, with a young man who
w as certainly not less than 0 feet 2 inches in
height. .Several passers by noticed the pe
culiar accent which he put upon his words.
HER BANK ACCOUNT.
Pretty Lena Kerner Swindled by Her
Sweetheart.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Chief of Detectives Ilazen had a caller
yesterday morning in the person of a very
pretty, well-dressed woman, who gave her
name as Lena Kerner. She hail In cn living
in a family on Pleasant street, anfl it w;is to
report n contemptible swindle that brought
her to police headquarters. The chief of
the detectives was impressed with her u|>-
ponrauce and manners and took great in
terest in the story she told. Miss
Lena is probably ‘JO years of age,
and while walking on Sixth street a few
months sinee met a well-appearing young
man. Her good looks and graceful bearing
attracted his attention, and when he polite
ly asked the pleasure of carrying her mar
ket basket, she had not the heart to refuse.
This chance acquaintance was productive
of many meetings. The young man's affec
tions seemed inextricably tough'd in tho
flaxen locks that so nicely matched Miss
Lena’s pretty blue eyes. He gave his name
as Charles Witzonbarber, and one day as
they were promenading along Fifth street
he pointed out a store and said it belonged
to him. Finally ho proposed marriage.
Miss Lena coyly gave her consent, and July
1 was selected as tho nuptial day. A few
days
AFTER THIS BETROTHAL
Witzenbacher called upon her at the Pleas
ant street house oil the morning of the last
day of May. Ho displayed a roll of hills
and said he was on his way to bank to make
a deposit. Did she have any money saved ?
If so he would take it along with liis. She,
too, would haven bank account. Miss Lena
stated she Imd $95. \V itzenbaeher persuaded
her to get it and give it to him. “I’ll put
$5 to it,” he said, “and then you’ll have SIOO
in bank.”
After this transaction Witzenbacher’s
visits Lvalue less* frequent, and thmnlly en
tirely ceased. In her anxiety Miss Lena
went to the Fifth street store only to find
that the proprietor was Councilman An
drew Witzenbacher, of the Fifteenth ward.
Ho know nothing whatever about her pro
l>osed husband. 1 .ast Saturday she was
called upon by a woman, who began to give
her a tongue lashing for stealing the albs'
tions of her husband. It was then that Miss
tena learned that tho supposed VVitzen
baeher was a married man and had two
children. The n ifo stated that they lived at
IS4 Liberty street .
NOT THE COUNCILMAN.
While Miss tena iva# at headquarters
Witzenbacher was sent for, and entered the
office putting and blowing. “Oil, no,” said
the duped girl as slie caught sight of him,
“that’s not the mail at all,” anil the Fif
teenth ward statesman was relieved from
further embarrassment. Detective Calla
ban was detailed on the case, and found that
No. IN4 Liberty street was a vacant house.
Miss tena was sent home by Chief Ilazen,
who promised that he woula find the affec
tionate swindler if it was in the power of
his “grabbing guys.” Callahan was as
signed to make tho capture if it took ail
summer.
ELDER BAKER’S LOT.
Happy With His Wives and a Sit In a
Bowery Museum.
From the Sew York Star.
Elder Joshua Baker, with three wives
and eight children, fresh from Cache Val
ley, Idaho, is now sharing the honors of the
Globe Dime Museum, on tho Bowery, with
the murdered Railway girl in wax and
Casper Strombach in papier mache. Tiie
elder is a bbny, awkward man with
wrinkled features, u scanty beard aud
teazled hair. The dry winds of Cache have
given him the appearance of a man who
would burn up very quickly if touclvd off
with a match. His face is of the pinched
Southern type common up in the hills. Its
expression is shrewd and kindly.
Mr. Baker was dressed in an alpaca coat,
paper collar, black cravat, jeans shirt and
rough trousers. He and his family are now
getting three square meals a day. ‘ The Mrs.
Bakers are not handsome, but they look
very useful. The children are of various
ages, and are having lots of fun scaniper
pering about the museum floor. All of
them, with their mother*, are di-cssed in
cheap stuffs. Taken altogether it seems to
Is’ a happy family. A plump woman in a
blue print dress who plays the piano on tiie
platform is some times mistaken for a fourth
wife.
This is the elder's account of liitnself and
his household ill his wonts:
“We air from I’rcston, in Cache valley,
Idaho. Preston is a farming settlement of
eighty families, most of w hich air Mormon.
1 was raised in Alubnniy, and am ill years
old. 1 was ranvertel bv a Mormon mis
sionary before I left the State. Those fellers
air all through the South. 1 wont to Idaho
in 1871 with one wife, now dead. Out time
I married Jane W. now 44. She hail come
from Alabumy, too* Ten years afterward I
took a liking to Annie, a lauicAshirc lass,
now 44. Hho said slic'd liev me if Jane W
was wiilin . Jam' 1\ , htvl no objcckshuns.
Three mouths alter that I met Anne Eliza'
a Scandinavian, now SJ. We went to six'
Jane W . and Annie, and they was willin’
Anne Eliza should raine in. Why, I hov
knowed a man out thar after marrying n
girl in the morning to hitch up and 'marry
her friend in the afternoon. The women
like it. It ain’t lonely for ’em. Counting
the children by my "first wife I hov lad
eighteen altogether. I hov grandchildren.
“In the fall of INN.S Jim Hawley, the terri
torial prosecuting olllix r at Block foot, tegan
to hump himself for the SSO which tne Ed
mu iids bill offered for every polygamy con
viction. Well, Jim convicted me. The wav
out thar is that if you promise to live with
only one wife afterward they give it to vou
. light. I premised, and got' three months.
[ I lien I left the church. Preston might he
j too hot for me now. They might want to
kill me, hut I’d just os lief go buck thar all
the same'.
“When I get through hero I mn going
into the Panhandle in Texas. I shall live
alone with June W. and her five children.
Hbe has the biggest claim on me. I sliali
make homes for the other women and chil
dren. but llioy'll all go along.”
THE.MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY. JULY 2, 18S7.
AN INDIAN CLERGYMAN.
Rev. Kali Churn Chatterjee Paya a
Visit to St. Louis.
From the Missouri Republican.
Rev. Kali Churn Chatterjee, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Hashyapur, India,
is in the city, stopping at Hotel Beers. His
wife and little girl are with him. He was a
commissioner to tho Northern Presbyterian
general assembly, recently held at Omaha,
and is on his return trip, making his way to
the Atlantic coast, where he will take ship
in about three months for his far-away
home. Yesterday afternoon ho visited Dr.
S. J. Niccolls, took tea with Dr. J. H.
Brookes in tiie evening and afterward at
tendod prayer meeting at Dr. Brookes’
church, when he addressed the congrega
tion. In this address he urged Christian
workers to select India as their missionary
field of labor.
The preacher was seen by a reporter at
Hotel Beers, ife is tall and erect, with skin
almost black, hair a trifle gray and beard
t inged with gray, and reaching to his waist.
He said: “India has a population of 252,-
900,000. These are divided up into Mahomet
ans, Hindoos, Christians and a few other
'sects. We have 500,000 native-born Chris
tians of our own [msiple. and about 100,000
foreigners who are Christians. England has
about. (>O,<KM) soldiers in India, and they are
counted as Christians also. No Hindoo over
accepts Buddhism in India. There are no
Buddhists in India, although this was once
the home of Buddha. Our people receive
the missionaries fairly well, and have more
confidence in them than most any one else.
It generally takes n missionary two years
to learn our language sufficiently to make
an address in it, although many of our in
stitutions of learning are English and a
missionary can begin to teach as soon as he
gets to our country.”
“How do you like America?”
“I am impressed with the extent and re
sources of America. You have hne such
variety of soil and mineral wealth. Every
thing impresses one, besides, as being new.
Many of your products are raised success
fully in our country, such as wheat, rice,
sugar-cane, Indian corn, etc. The growing
grain and extended plains of Kansas re
minded me very much of India.”
“How do our educational and social sys
tem impress yon?”
“I like your educational system, nnd
think the public school a great blessing; but
it seems a little strange to tne to see boys
and girls being educated in the same col
lege as I did in Kansas. This may have
some advantages, nnd I am not yet prepared
to say whether it is better or not than our
system in ttiis regard. But one thing I
think is inevitable where such a system is
in vogue, and that is that the young ladies
become more masculine and lose to a cer
tain extent their tender feminine disposi
tion; but it may make them more indepen
dent.. I think they are different from
English women in this one re
spect. Your social system has
an air of the same freedom
that one might naturally suppose would fol
low such a system of education. There is a
freedom, a rush and a bustle about Ameri
can life that very much' 5 impresses me.
Your houses are lmilt directly on the
streets, and there seems to be no privacy at
all. i should think that a man in building
a #50,000 house could certainly secure a
quiet place, where he would not lie gazed at
by every passer-by. In your railroad trains
you have a common sleeper for both ladies
and gentlemen. You have what you call a
conductor, also, who takes the tickets as the
train runs. In India our train men stand
at the stations and take the tickets from
the people as they enter. You never see
one come through the train.”
“What do you think of our Democratic
government (”
“For myself I would prefer a limited mon
archy. It seems productive of a tetter so
cial system and other desirable things, ns
well, but I have not seen ns much of your
great country as I want and expect to see
before I return. I want to find two young
men to take back with me, ono to teach
mathematics and one natural science in one
of our institutions of learning.”
Putting on the Wedding Garments.
from the Detroit Free Press.
About four milt's out of Tuscaloosa, in
returning from a Sunday visit to a planta
tion, we stopped at a negro church in which
about 100 blacks were assembled for divine
service. The preacher was a man with
powerful voice nnd gesture, and his sermon
was about the necressity of being arrayed
in the wedding garmentsand standing ready
for the Master’s call. His congregation
soon began to warm up. and pretty soon one
and another commenced to drop out as if
overcome. The sermon was grand and
impressive, but way beyond the comprehen
sion of the ordinary plantation hand.
When ive liually went out and drove up the
highway we found men and women scattered
along here and there in tho shade, and
pretty soon came to one young man who sat
with his arm around a girl. We stopped
the buggy, but neither of’em seemed to care,
nnd pretty soon the Colonel observed:
“George, is that a case of love?” “I reckon
it nr’, sah, hut I (loan’ quite know, - ’ was tho
Foung man’s reply. “Dat’s a powerful
sermon of Elder Jackson’s to-day. He’s dun
told us to put on do weddin’ gn’ments if we
want to lie saved.” “And so you intend to
put them on?” “110011 does, sah. I only
come out half an hour ago, an’ I’ze ’greed to
marry fo’ different winiin in ilat time.
Gwine to get all de weddin’ ga’ments right
on soon’s I kin, an' if a cyclone comes de
Lnwd will take car’ of me, I reckon. See
any mo’ winiin down de road, Kuracl, tell
’em Gaivgo will be long d’rectly!”
