however, NOT thinking he was really dead, sent
for a Chinese doctor. The medical man soon
came, and in accordance with the custom OF his
country, heated an iron poker TO a white heat
and burnt the supposed dead man on the fore
head and eyebrows; he also stabbed him in va

gold. Adjoining property was obtained at low
er rate but the whole purchase money amount

paid. The rate at which the corner lot was
bought Is about twenty millions an acre. In New

1that Philadelphia, and not New Workers, should
be the men TO make this bold venture. The
