MORE EXPOSURES OF CHRONICLE
FALSEHOODS.

The S. F. Chronicle is turning its attention
to figures in support of its effort to prove that
the trade Of these Islands is not worth
shucks 10 the United Statcs," and purporis TO
make copious extracts from our Custom House
statistics for the years the treaty has been in
vogue, but as usual it wilfully pcrverts facts
aud figures where they do not suit their pur-
pose as originally published. The writer evil
IDENTIFY takes the erroneous ground that every
thing from tue U. 5. is duty free, and every
thing paying duty ia European, aud therefore

We fail to see wha, benefit the Chroaiti- ex-
poets to make ont of such erroneous showings.
Ia order to swell these figures rs large as pos
sible against they have included silks aud
linens which not on the free list.
glarins statement OF injustice is the table
of Clock impUrtations presented so as to show
but small portion of this trade being with
the United States, whereas the entire business
in this line of goods, with the exception of
but one or two invoices of French clocks has
been from our American ncighbor, but Of
class that have paid duty. This same
ground could be maintained with the table of
Guns and Ammunition, for the bulk of our
supplies nave been from Uncle Sam, especially
siuce the decrease of the Arctic traders. Tie
table of Machinery is also made to show as
prominent a record AS possible against rcci-
procal relations, and forms the text of subse-
quent article of the same bearing, but no men
tion is made of the wel-known fact, that in
the period under conside, alton two principals
of English firms have been on the ground and
made advantageous terms with planters and
others which might just as well have been
secured to American firms had they exercised
the same enterprising spirit on similar terms.
And yet in spite of this special inducement by
these parties referred to, we fiud that ont of a
total import value for Hardware, Agricultural
Implements, Tools and Machinery of S2,0s2.-
970.3s for the past four years, 81 ,222 ,2s2.5l
has been from the United States We lave
only noticed few of their figures. They
have several tables as incorrect the above.
There is an important fact in connection
with this trade which, 30 far, has not been
touched upon, and when it is considered, will
show that the United States has not bad "a
bargain as the villifying Chronicle would have
its readers believe; and that is, that at the
time of our entering upon the advantages of
the Treaty, there were established English
and German houses in this city, that for the
most part were agencies Of home establish
meuts, whose main stock and supplies were
gathered from thence. Since 1877, another
house has been established with English con-
nections, but no increase has taken place in
the American importing houses excepting
that of Mr., Spreckels at Kahului. The gain
therefore To the trade Of the U. s. has been to
the exclusion of European in spite Of long es-
tablshed home influence and monied interest,
so that we eau truly say she has gained ground
agains; great odds, and if it does not amount
to shucks " in the estimation Of the Chronicle,
We bear u closer relationship in political
sense to the Great Republic than few dollars
will affect, even when willfully perverted.

Death Of a Remarkable Dwarf.

JOHN LEWIS, the famous dwarf, who died
recently at Watcrtown, Wis.,, was born in the
town of Ixonia, i'll 1851, and was the eldest of a
family of seven children. His height was
twenty-sevel inches, and average weight nine
teen pounds. At the time of his death he
weighed about twelve pounds. He had a web
foot, and both of his hand, were without
thumbs, but in all other respects he was q per-
feet little man. He possessed more than ordi-
nary intelligence and had very rctenive
memory. He was thoroughly posted i'm farm
topics, and could recall incidents, the occur
renee of which dated back more than fifteen
years. with wonderful precision AlrhouIh
his younger brothers and sisters outstripped
him in. growth, he never permitted them to
domineer over him nor look upon him In
any other light iran as their superior In ex-
perience and intelligence. He was an apt
scholar and a ready conversationalist. He
spoke the Welsh and English languages HUI
emily, ana could tell a story with moral to 1t
as cleverly as anybody. As member of the
Welsh Methodist Church, in his native town,
he frequently took part In the meetings. often
giving out hymns for the congregation to
sing. and was specially prominent and active
in Sunday-school exercises. In giving out a
hymn he invariably stood on the top of the
pulpit, and read his lines with such vim and
dist inctncss as to be heard In all parts OF the
room. He Travelled but little, and was always
opposed to being placed anywhere on exhibit
ton. Thousands OF people visited him during
his residence in Ixonia, and from them he re-
ccivcd many gifts. About year ago his usual
vivacty gave way to dependency. and for
some months prior to his death he conycrscd
but little, and then only in a sad and su'ducd
tone. The cause OF his death was congestion
OF the stomach.

A Man Attacked by Pack OF Ours.

A CHARLOTTE IN. c. special of q recent date
to the Chicago Inter Gee IN says:
A very remarkable occurrence at Shoeheel,
a small town between this city and Whining
ton. has just stirred up the whole section OF
countryDcontiguous thereto. Mr.. William ID.
Baldwin, a highly respectable citizen. was re-
turning, Saturday night, from a trip on horse
back to the country, when on nearing the
town about midnight he was furiously attack
ed by pack of fifteen or twenty dogs. They
bit the horse he was riding, caught the bride
in their teeth, pulled the stirrups from Mr..
Baldwin's feet, and made frantic efforts to
tear him from the saddle. Finding that he
could not scare them OF. he put spurs to
his horse and rode for his life, followed
by the yelping. barking, biting pack of
ours, into the heart of the town, their
glazing eyes and protrudinx tongues
proclaiming them bent upon his
destruction. The citizens were aroused, and
came to MIR. Baldwin's rescue with guns and
pistols, and The Infatuated brutes were COM
PEELED to take to the woods, where they re-
manned until Sunday, attacking and killing
grown cattle. BY that time the excitement
had greatly increased, and the danger was 50
manifest that the Shoeheel Rifles, the military
company of that place, were called out to hunt
the dogs, the people OF the neighborhood join
ing in the pursuit, and after a whole day spent
I'm the effort, the pack was broken up, many
of the dogs being killed. The curious part
about the whole story is that the dogs be-
longed TO people in and around Shoehccl, and
no one has yet been able to explain their con-
duct or to account for their combination.
Hydrophobia was suggested. but those who
witnessed their behavior say that 1t was not
such rs to justify this theory.

which is termed squire science" But

this. What people call applied science
is nothing but the application of pure
science 10 particular classes OF

Prof. Fleming Jenkin has stated
that the following are the main condi-
tons to be fulfilled in putting a house

refuse from the house must have FREQ

from the town sewer must not have a
free passage into the house drain. 3.
No air or gas from the drainage cham
nels of the house must enter the house.
4. No water or liquid must leak from
those channels into the ground under
the house. 5. The drinking water must
be stored in such q manner as TO run no
risk of contamination. g. The air of tho
dwelling-rooms must be supplied with

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

THE Associated Press Agent at Wash
ington telegraphed on the 3lst: 'sSenator
Conkling is determined to urge relentless war
against Robertson and against the Admins
tration. He holds Secretary Blaine response
BILE for the nomination. Senator Conkiing
expects to be defeated, and realizes that
Robertson will be confirmed, but says there
is principle involved, and that he would
make fight if he knew that he were the
only Senator who would vote against Robert
son.. Attorney General McVeagh's re-
tirement from the Cabinet is again
a subject of speculation. 1t is
claimed he has exerted himself
TO defeat the confirmation Of Chandler and
Robertson, and the Presidents friends rep
resent he is disposed to take MacVeagh's
reported interference very seriously. 1t is
also stated that the nominations which
are said to give offense to Senators Conk-
ling and Plat were made with the
knowledge Of these gentlemen, and not
without consulting, maint aimed. 1t is
not likely the name of either Chandler
Or Robertson will be withdrawn, opposition

Died from Jumping the Rope.

"Died from ,ngestion % the brain. caused
by jumping the rope" was the cause of death
certified by DIR. Felix Nordemtn TIM. OF 2l2 East
Twelfth street, in the case of Rachel Duce-
wyds, age six and one-half years. OF 81 Bay
ard street. who was buried yesterday. The
parents are in comfortable circumstances.
The father keeps a fancy goods store in the
Bowery. Little Rachel was ons of seven
healthy children. She was bright, pretty
child. and great fayorite with her COM
panions. She was very fond Of jumping the
rope. A little girl who played much with her
said yesterday: ~Rachei would always jump
as many rs a hundred, and then she woud
have to sit down, she would be 50 tired. She
always wanted to come in rs often us any OF
us was jumping We used to try and get her
to sit down and look ut Va, but she would not
rest rs long as she could Jump"
Another of Rache.s little companions said:
"She used to be very fond OF jumping what
we call Pepper, salt, mustard. cider, vinegar
That Is when we begin to jump slow. and keep
Jumping faster until we get to vinegar, when
you have to Jump as fast as you can"
The mother said: ~ used to tell hcr not to
jump SO hard. have so many children that
could not watch her all the time. On Sunday
she came in after jumping, and said she felt
very bad, She had pains I'm her head, cramps
and commissions. We sent for three doctors,
but it was late before one came. He could not
do anything for her, and she died at ten
O'Clock on Monday"
DIR. Nordemann said: "I have no doubt that
the child died from over exertion I'm jumping
the rope. She was a healthy child. and had
met with no accident. 1t is q very common
thing for children to injure themselves by
jumping too much. 1t often leads to heart
disease, especially where there is any predis-
position TO IT. Many little boys injurc them
selves in their attempts at walking matches,
riding the bicycle, and other feats of endur-
ance."
DIR. Jayne, of the Sanitary Bureau OF the
Health Board, said: al have known OF several
similar cases. Parents should be on their
guard to prevent all forms of over-cxertion."
