GREAT SEAL OF OHIO. Cataaaccs la the Orlsrlaal Dealza aad What the Seal Typifies. Artists and engravers take great liberties with the coat-of-arma of the United Statca when they use' it In Illustration. Every ouo known that the great seal of the nation contains the eagle, the ahleld. and the motto, plurlbus unum." but there are comparatively few who are familiar with the design properly diaplayed according to the letter of -the statute.

The same la true of the atate seals, and notably of -that of Ohio. Some artist, a half-century ago. In a cut introduced an "ark." or flatboat with a roof, which was the mode of transportation used by the settlers of southern Ohio a century and a quarter ago aad later. They came overland to Pittsburg, and thence by ark down the Ohio. This Innovation has been' repeated so often that many people suppose the ark or canal-boat, aa it la ofteu mistakenly called belongs on the Ohio seal.

It doea not, and never had a place there. The first Legislature after Ohio became a state provided by law for a great seaL The act waa passed March 25, 1803. It provided for the design as follows: "On the right side, near the bottom, a sheaf of wheat, and on the left a bundle of seventeen arrows, both standing erect; in the background, and rlatng above the sheaf and arrows, a mountain, over which shall appear a rising sun. The state seal to be surrounded by these words. The Great Seal of the State of The engraver who cut the seal departed slightly from the loiter of the law.

In place of a mountain he made three, and he also placed a river flowing along the base of the range. The state capital was then Chill 1-cothe, and It ia a local tradition there that he the outline of Mount Lcgan, which stands east of the city, for the central peak, and represented the Scioto river, which washea the- base of the hill. This story ia very probably correct. Thia remained the legal design of the state ecal until 1886. Some one.

who realized what a nice Job It would be to replace ail the seal presses used for county, Judicial, notarial, and other official seals with new dies, succeeded in getting the design changed. The act of April 18P6, provided as follows: "The coat of arms of the atate or Ohio ahall consist of the following device: A shield, upon which shall be engraved on the left in the foreground, a bundle of seventeen arrows to the right of the arrows a aheaf of wheat, both standing erect; in the background, and rising above the aheaf and arrows a range of mountaina. over which ahall appear a rising sun; between the base of the mountains and the arrows and the aheaf. In the left foreground, a river shall be repre-aented flowing toward the right foreground. At the bottom cf the ahleld ahall be a motto.

In these words: 'Imperium in tmperio." It will be aeen that the design really followed the old Chillicothe engraver's idea to the points In which he did not follow exactly the law of 1803. The only really new thing waa the addition of the motto. When its meaning An empire within sn empire waa fully understood, there waa a great deal of objection. It savored of the old Southern rtate rights doctrine, which waa one of the dogmaa settled by the civil war, then Just over. The next General Assembly got rid of the motto by the act of May 9.

1S68, which rays: "That the coat-of-arma or the state of Ohio shall consist of the following device: A shield in the form of a circle. On it. In the foreground, on the right, a sheaf of. a heat i on the left, a bundle of seventeen arrows, both standing erect; In the background, and rlaing above the shaf an 1 arrow a mountain range, over which shill appear a rising sun." This slnr.ply restored the original design of 1803, except it used the phrase, nng-i of mountains" Instead of "a mountain." In engraving the veal, however, the river waa put la. although not mentioned In the act-Ohio waa the seventeenth atate admitted to the Union; therefore, the bundle of seventeen arrows typifies the American Union; a aheaf of wheat ia symbolic of agriculture, the state's original and still most Important The rising sun is an allusion to the advance of the atate In wealth and power.

The mountaina are an allusion to the fact that this was the first state west of the "mounTatns" that la, the Alleghanles. Though not authorised." the river is altogether appropriate.

Baltimore Son. MANILA'S NOTED CHINAMAN. The Faaeral Proeessloa of Dob Carlos Palaaea Bis Wife. Probably no funeral cortege has ever been seen in Manila with more of pomp and circumstance, with more gorgeous trapplnga of woe. with more aemt-barfcarie display, than that of the Christianised Chinese.

Don Carlos Palanca, and of his wife. Palanca (Tan Chence) died on Sept. 3, 1901, and hla wife on Jan. 8. 1898.

Since their decease their bodies have been lying in the receiving vault at the cemetery, awaiting transportation to China. On laat Saurday Chen Kang. son of the deceased, having completed arrangements, started with them on their last voyage. Ia the funeral procession there were two American military bands, two Filipino military bands, and one native orchestra. As they marched perforce cloae together and played without reference to the other handa, the ensemble waa not entirely pleasing to the Occidental ear.

There waa a multitude of gorgeous silken banners, all embroidered heavily In gold, with sentences referring to the careers and characters of the deceased. There were queer, umbrella-shaped emblems borne aloft on long staffs. The hearses were one mass of aable plumes and funeral devicea, and the horses were led by footmen clad In eighteenth-cen-tnry mourning costumes. Then came the contrast. The Western symbol of grief Is black; the Chinese la white.

Consequently behind the hearses came the Chinese mourners, clad In black, but with white cloths bound around their heada. The first hearse contained the ren aina of the wife, aa ahe died first, and in the rear of the hearse containing the body of Palanca walked the son aa chief mourner. Palanca was a wonderful man. easily the greatest Chinese that ever lived in the Philippines. He amassed a large fortune, and for many years had been respected and admired by the Manila Chinese as no other man haa been.

He received from the throne of Spain the highest honor ever accorded by that country to any Chinese, the Grand Cross of Isabella the with the title of "Excellency." Many stories are told of Palanca, but probably the most Interesting Is that of his experiences with "Butcher Weyler" when he was sent here as Governor GeneraL It had long been customary among rich Chinese merchants to make presents to the new Governor General, to secure his will these taking the form of horses and carriages, handsome dinner sets of plate, gold or stiver, and auch. When Weyler came Palanca determined to give the present to the wife. Accordingly he went to the leading Jewelry bouse on the Escolta and there found two necklaces of brilliants, each coating $20,000. Not being able to decide, he sent them both to Mrs. Weyler.

with the message that she should make her choice. In a few days he received a warm letter of thanks, ending with the statement that they were ao beautiful that ahe could make no choice, and hence' she would keep them both, which she did.

His death resulted from pneumonia, and the news revived talk of the days of "bcodlelsm" ia county affairs.

The death of Van Pelt marks the passing of another of the members of a gang who were convicted of one of the most flagrant "graft" achemea known to politics. At first rn obscure Democratic politician at Jeraey- tue, in which city he waa elected mayor, be came to Chicago with the express Intention of getting Into politics. He became a power In the Twelfth ward, and was finally elected a member of the county board, which proved to be the end of his political career. following hla release from the peniten tiary, he b-scame a bucket-ahop operator la Chicago, but at the end of two years moved to where he opened another bucket shop.
