DIR. Thompson, who attended Vice Pres
ident Hendricks during his last illness,
publishes statement in answer to
publication that his distinguished patient
was bled to death, in which he says that
Mr.. Hendricks was not bled. DR.. Thomp-
son says: ''Mr. Hendricks was never in
his life bled by me. To have bled him I'M
der the circumstances of his last illness
would have indicated great Tecklessness.
But l never thought OF bleeding him. We
were in the habit of putting dry cups on
him, and in obedience to his request on
Wednesday l cupped him. l suppose it
is from this that the impression that
bled him gained such Roadway. Said Mr..
Hendricks to me: IF you don't give me
an opiste you must put dry cup on me-
1t was favorite remedy Of his. In the
first place we were not apprehensive of
danger. have seen him twenty times
great deal worse than he was that day
He was chilly, and we gave him warm
water with soda in it TO sweeten
his stomach. AS 1 said, the treat
ment was very simple, for we thought
there was little the matter with him. His
bowels were depleted by simple stlmu-
lating enema-castor oil and molasses
He had complained Of a painful fullness
OF the bowels, which was thus relieved by
two gentle operations. He said he f 1t
better; Strengthened up, and remarked,
Now will take nice Sleep These
were his last words to me. had declined
before this to give him calomel, for l told
him that he was preparing to go to Wash

with his approval. and so he willingly ac-
cepted the treatment. as l have described.

The steamship City Of Pekin, which ar
rived Friday at San Francisco from Hong
Kong, brings the news that forty Chinese
pirates captured and robbed the English
steamer Greyhound, running between
Hong Kong and Pakhoi. The Greyhound
left Hong Kong on Oct. II, with a full
cargo and 100 passengers. When less
than a hundred miles from Hong Kong
about forty apparently innocent looking
passengers opened fire on the officers from
different parts OF tho vessel. They killed
the captain, captured the other officers
and the Chinese crew, and made them and
the other passengers prisoners. They
then made the engineers, at the point OF
the pistol, run the vessel, the course Of
which was changed. A couple OF Chi
nese junks were soon met. The niratea
loaded these with booty, and took their
departure. They were in possession Of
the vessel nine hours. Some Of them have
been captured ana will be beheaded.

Events which occurred in Spain half
century ago were very similar 10
those which are occurring there to-day.
In 1893 Ferdinand III. died, and his daugh-
ter Isabella, at that time 3 years old. was
proclaimed Queen. The Queen mother,
who bore the name Of Maria Christina,
became Regent. To-day Alfonso's young
daughter, Mercedes, 3 years old, is Queen,
aud her Queen mother, Maria Christina,
is Regent. Is the parallel TO go fartherf
The period which covered the Regency
which began in 1888 was marked by court
intrigues and a condition OF affairs that
were extremely unfortunate for Spain. A
duplication Of the condition Of affairs that
existed then would be a calamity for the
Spanish people.

ties, which would deepen and in
tenslfy as the unnatural union
went on, and the superior race
saw it's integrity undermined, the
purity OF its blood corrupted, and
its very existence about to be
merged by absorption into that Of
an inferior, and, ere that time, a
despised and hated race. The
process would be attended by con-
yulsions which would disorganize
society and bring in an era Of an
archy.
Every consideration Of reason,
pride and instinct should move
the white race to reject and scorn
such a settlement Of the race ques-
tien. Rather let it perish utterly
than submit to a fate SO degrad
ing and ruipous. As for myself,

eyes on the place, and there is
much to Indicate that he will
strike for the prize; General John

been remarkable, and unless it
has waned he would be foxmida-

whether his resignation as Sena-

tested by trial. He is friendly
to Bacon and might not be willing
to antagonize him. But his

The Difference Between C0Arting a
Widow and YOug Gill.

There is any amount Of fun in
counting young girl who has not
been used to X. She swallows all
the soft things a fellow says. but
when it comes to popping the
question, or something of that
kind, she gets frightened moro or
less and wants tiple to consider
until there age enough loopboles
for her lover to slip out through
without the least biz Of trouble, if
he happens to see some one he
thinks he could love a shade or
two better. Young gitls aEs tim
id,shy and il earnest, and if a fell
low is not pretty certain he has
found precisely the angel he is
looking for, he can manage SO as
to have the refusal of her for a
year or more, and at the same
time manage to keep his neck out
of the reach of a breach of prom
iss suit when he happens to meet
sCGne sweet-faced angel that seems
to him to be better suited to his
taste.
1t is different with a widow.
She gets rid of all her shyness at
the earliest convenient opportuni-
ty, and finds out the principal
things she desires to know of him
before she allows him to get ac-
quainted. The school girl Of six
teen trusts herself to any young
fellow on so or so days sight
without security, but the widow
like thrifty wholesale house,goes
out and examines the mercantile
reports concerning him, and them
sells to him on her own terms for
cash. She aas him sized np be-
fore he comes to market, and
VIXEN she looks as if she were
very artless creature, and fights
shy of him whenever he happens
to sit a little close to her on the
sofa. there are ten chances to one
that he will never look any fur
ther, but will buckle right up to |
her and put the question fairly
and squarelg, and when he has
done SO she is not going to treH-
BILE and blush and ask for week |
or a month in which to make up |

shortly after the war Roberts
went and stopped in some town in

Mr.. Faye, a French astronomer
maiptains that bhe earth is older
than the sun. ,All Of the planets.
from Mercury to Neptune, were
formed first. The sun was nel,--
ular paass far outside their orbits.
Subsequently it passed over to
the centre of the planetary system,
and eYlleeted there into the grand
lu1nipary which we know. Ura-
nus and Neptune were then,
evolved from the scattering frag-
mems, having satellites with ret.
rogr@de motion. In the present
period life may have existed first
in the northern regions. as the.
fauna and flora found there indi-.
cate. Then there wsre no arctic
winters, the location OF the nebu-
lous mass being such as to radiate
most heat upon the poles and that
part of the earth's surface go sad

rlhe arrangement,
