He was attended by two marines from the Monocacy. His body was em balmed and will be shipped to Ral eigh. His age was 87, The strangest part of the trip is that at Hong Kong the Rio took on purser James H Mahar, of the s.eam er Peru, who suddely became insane. He was regarded as harmless till he began breaking his cabin windows and trying to kill auy who entered. He was overpowered and manacled. Re wil be cared for by San Francisco Masons Sailors on the Rio says there is a hoodoo on the ship.

Applica tions for Chambers of Coamerce or responsible citizens of city will be con sidered. The premium list of each fair us ually includes prizesjto the aaor nt of $4 or $5 dollars.

" Seventenths of the people of Ghi na are opium smokers, and two mil lion of tbeui die annually, from Its effects," said a Chinese missionary r cently, who has spent. 23 years of his life in the Flowery Kingdom. " This habit is rapidly growing," he went on, "It is confined to do class or eez, but men and women officials fnd coolies use it alike. As soon as opium smoking becomes a confirmed babi with a Chinese cool ie, he knows that he has about ten years to live, that seems to be the average. I consider it easier to re form a sot in the gutter, one of your lowest ( type of drunkards, than an opium smoker. - Bucklen'a Arnica Salve.
