increasing the capacity OF the Third

David Livingstone.

DIR. Livingstone is dead at last. The
brave old man has survived SO many
perils, and had SO often been falsely re-
ported as having died, that the public
had grown into the habit of believing
him proof against all danger and sick
ness. There is no doubt, however, that
his wanderings are over. He died while
on his way from Lake Tanganyike to
the east coast, in company with the En-
glish Relief Expedition sent out some
time since in search of him. David
Livingstone was born at Blantyre, on
the Clyde, in 1917, and was descended
from Highland ancestry. His parents
were poor, and during his boyhood he
worked in the Blantyre cotton mills,
pursuing his studies at Glasgow during
the winter months. He early decided
to become missionary, and as an aid
to his future usefulness he studied medi-
cine, and was licensed by the Faculty OF
Physicians and Surgeons in 1888. He
was ordained to the pastoral Office in
1910, and Immediately afterward set sail
for Port Natal. From 1910 to 1856 he
labored constantly in the missionary
field at Kurnman, Nicholson, and other
South African stations, during which
period he married daughter of Robert
Moffat, the well-known missionary.
His first extensive journey as an ex-
plorer was made about 1854, when he
travelled by land from the Cape of Good
Hope to Lake Nyassa, and thence to
point on the west coast, near the tenth
parallel of south latitude. In 1855 he
crossed the continent to the mouth of
the Zambosi, discovering the great
Victoria Falls, which surpass in gran
deur those of Niagara. He returned to
England in 1856, and published his first
book of travels. In March, 1858, he
was appointed to sort of rowing con-
sulate, and, returning to Africa, pene-
trated to Lake Nyassa with steamboat.
In 1864 he was again in England, and
published his second book, having
buried his wife on the banks of the
Zambosi. In 1866 he again penetrated
to Lake Nyassa, and was not seen again
by any white man until he was met by
Stanley at Ujiji. He then claimed to
have discovered the sources of the Nile
at the tenth degree of south latitude,
and was about to travel westward to
to complete his discov-
cries. His death occurred while re-
turning through the country of
Unyamyembe. We may, there
fore, assume that he had carried out
his plan of the journey west of Tangan-
yike. If so he has undoubtedly left
notes sufficient to show what he had
really accomplished. He was beyond
all question the greatest African ex-
plorer, and his fame will outlast that of
Park, or Spoke, or Baker.-Nea0 York

CHASTITY Tragedy.

The Drouilhat Hotel, San Francisco,
was the scene of horrible tragedy. A
man called upon lady boarder and
was admitted to her room. When they
met they embraced and kissed each
other. They were alone and conversing
in low tones together for half an hour,
when the man prepared to leave. The
woman led the way to the door and
opened it. The man was Just behind
her. AS her back was turned toward
him, he reached forward and with
single stroke from large razor cut her
throat. She could not shrek, for her
power of utterance was gone. She could
not resist, for the murderous blade had
deprived her of strength, and she fell
across the threshold. The man was a
murderer only for an instant, and then
he was a corpse. The same instrument
which killed the woman was by him
drawn across his own throat, severing
veins, arteries, trachea, and penetrating
even to the base of the tongue. He,
too, fell, but enough of life remained to
enable him to crawl to where the woman
lay. He reached her, threw his arms
about her, and with his head pillowed
upon her bosom, died. The woman
was dead before the speedily-summoned
physician arrived. The walls, the fur
niture, and the carpet in the room were
hecked and saturated with blood, which
oozed down through the ceiling into the
room below. The woman was beautiful,
and was fashionabIy dressed and sup
piled with costly wearing apparel. The
man was large, and clothed in a suit of
broadcloth. His motive for committing
tho crime could only be conjectured,
but it is supposed that jealousy
was the cause. Both the man and the
woman were strangers in San Francisco.
His name was Randolph Mitchell, and
although the woman had given her
name as Miss Annie Towers, it is sup
posed that she was his wife.
