2 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 TUB ONE I.AST EXPEDIENT left to medical science. The patient, eager 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 MADE HIS WILL He gave minute directions ns to the style Df coffin, should the operation bring death, 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!” RACING AT SHEEPSHEAD. Dry Monopole Wins the Ives Stakes by a Short Head.
