book is based--for the reason, posi-
bly,, that where vanity is d recognized

to make particular selections. Frank

she filings herself upon her bed and

She has only one hour to recover

MIR. Kwong as a Journalist.

Hartford Times.
Mr.. KwOng XII Chiu. who resided for sew
eral years in Hartford, and who will be re-
membered as the author of very remarka-
bic dictionary of English idioms and queer
phrases. has embarked in journalism in his
native country. Some of his friends knew
before he left for China about two years
ago that he had an ambition to publish a
paper. through which he might instruct his
countrymen upon the many things he had
learned in America. His paper, published
at Canton, is the kwang Pao. Our Chinese
dictionary having been mislaid we can dc
no better than make random guess at the
meaning of this. Taking it of-hand, sort
of by and large as it were,
we should translate it as Pay

is very level indeed. The title will stare
delinquent subscribers in the face every
week with Don't you forgetw it ex-
preston which cannot fail to fetch the
money in time The paper is printed only
on one side of the sheet, and the first num-
Der is devoted to prospectus, an imperial
decree general and foreign news, and last,
but not least, advertisements. The single
modest attempt at illustration is cut OF
Webster's big dictionary. The paper is
printed on cylinder press manufactured
by Mr.. Cranston, of Thamesville. Nor

Kwang Pao. so far as we have read it, and
we gladly welcome Mr.. Kwong to the great
fraternity of editors. AS soon as we find
our Chinese dictionary we shall be very
glad to place the Kwang Pao on our ex-
change list.

AN Elephants Memory.
London Daily Telegraph.

An amusing circumstance happened at
Hythe yesterday, when an elephant be-
longing to circus freely helped himself to
an early breakfast. 1t appears that between
and o'clock in the morning the animal
managed to effect his escape from his COM
panions and paid visit to house with
which he had pleasant assOciation-a little
shop at the corner of Market street On
arriving at the place the elephant found
that it was closed, but nothing daunted he
coolly lifted the door off its hinges and
helped himself literally to the contents of
the shop. potatoes. apples and sweets.
When he had either satisfied his appetite or
had exhausted the supply of good things he
retraced his steps, and on the return jour-
ney he was met by his keepers, who had in
the meantime become aware OF his absence.
The animal in question visited Hythe
about eleven or twelve years ago, and when
passing this house was treated by its then
tenant to good meal of potatoes This
seemed to have left so good an impression
on the animals mind that he was led to
pay another visit to the pleasant spot with
the result recorded above. About the same
time the next morning he again got away
and was making for the same place, but
was discovered by his keeper before ne had
gone far on his expedition.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-The ceremony
of laying the corner stone and blessing the
new st. Paul Roman Catholic church was
performed to-day by Cardinal Gibbons in
the presence of a large assemblage. The
cardinal was assisted by Rev. DR.. McCOl-
gan. vicar general, Rev. Drs. Foley and
Clarke. of Baltimore, and a number OF
Washington priests. In the corner stone,
in addition to copy of each of the Catho-
lie and daily papers of this city and num-
Der of coins, was placed parchment set
ting forth that the church was erected under
the patronage of st. Paul, and that the
corner stone was laid by Cardinal Gibbons.
To this document were attached the names
of Pope Leo XIII, President Cleveland and
Father Chappelle. Rev. DR.. Foley preached
the sermon, and at its close Cardinal Glib
bons spoke few words of praise for the
energy that had started the work and Of
hope for its success.

condition became so preearious that she
was placed under the care of a physician.

and yesterday she went to visit her husband
al the asylum, but his condition would not
permit of her seeing him, and she returned
home apparently hopelessly respondent.

American Academy OF Medicine.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 3.-The annual meet
ing of the American Academy of Medicine
will be held in this city October - and Is.
About two hundred delegates from all parts
of the country are expected to be present.
One object of the association at its Pitts
burg convention will be to endeaver to have
laws passed, either by states or the national
congress, for the regulation OF the admis-
sion of candidates to study medicine and
the demarring of physicians who have not
graduated fromfrst-class medical colleges
such as are considered trst-class by the acad-
envy. They also want the appointment of
state or national boards composed of skill
full surgeons and learned physicians to ex-
anime candidates for the study of medicine.
A movement will also be i:ade against
third or fourth class colleges, which, the
academy says, must go or else raise their
standard very materially. The convention
will consider the application of homeopa-
thst for admission to the association.

serious Boycott Expected.

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-The retail clothiers OF
the city who have for some time been agi-
tating an early closing movement, held a
large meeting to-day. the effect of which is
likely to be a serious boycott. 1t was
stated at the meeting that petitions to en-
ployers in the interest of the movement
had resulted in little short of failure. Those
retail merchants that had acceded to the re-
quest of their employees had mostly gone
back to the old system of keeping open late
at night, while others were combating the
mo vement in other ways. After an earnest
dis cussion a committee of fifteen was ap-
pointed and instructed to wait on the diff
ferent trade and labor assemblies and ask
them to refuse to patronize the merchant
who kept his store open later than o'clock
in the evening.

THE SHARK DID NOT RETURN.
A Weird Tale of the Sea-.The Keg
That Never Rests.


San Francisco Call.
''The reason why big striks in pearls
don't create boom, as gold discovery
would" said an old hand at the business,
is because most everybody knows the dan
ger of it, and if you don't superintend it
yourself yon are at the mercy Of a pack of
the biggest thieves that ever lived. The
principal dangers are sharks. rays and
drowning. The sharks are the worst, and
some grounds have old man-eaters that
hang about them for years. at least the men
think so.
II remember one season we got on the
grounds early, | was owner of an outfit
comprising ten men, bnt when we got
ready not man would go over. [ didn't
blame them, as they pointed out the fin of
big man eater that as swimming about.
| wouldn't have'gone over myself for all
the pearls on the farm. The shark had a
notch on his top fin where some on had
put bullet through, and one man said it
had eaten his brother, another, that his
cousin was killed the year before by the
same brute. and you would have thought
that every man in the place had lost rela-
tive of some kind, so [ concluded it would
be charity to put the old murderer ON the
retired list. l had a harpoon with me
that had barbs that fitted into the iron
so that it would go in easily, and then
when slight pull was made they would
set back. This I rugged to pole and fas-
tened to a line about one hundred feet
long having it fastened to key. Heav-
ing the toggery into the boat got one of
the men to pull me to the shark that was
swimming around and around, and as it
came by the boat put the spear into its
back as well as l knew how.

Relying on Her Teeth.

bOSlOH RScOfu
The attraction that lies in a beautiful
woman's open mouth hasn't been sung by
the poets a great deal, but it is moment
GUS fact just the same. There is lovely
girl, whose home is at one of the watering
places. who almost always goes about with
her mouth, in which are two exquisite
rows of pearly teeth, open, and who, oddly
enough, generally has an admiring circle of
men and youths about her. Her elder sis
ter, who doesn't hold her mouth open. told
the other day how the thing goes:
lat the party last night" said she,
''Bessie was sitting with her mouth closed,
for WONDER and there wasn't anybody
with her-for wonder, too. Presently
she opened her mouth little. and young
man left me and went over to her. Then
she opened her mouth a little wider and
another young man went over where she
was. By-and-by she opened her mouth a
little more, so that both rows of her teeth
showed. and she kept laughing about some
thing and the men kept gathering around
her. Dear me! thought her jaws would
break; but it's perfectly natural for her to
keep her mouth open that way. And the
young men fairly swarmed around her all
the evening""

the scene of great excitement this evening
shortly before dark. A span Of powerful
horses, htched to an open carriage contain
ing two gentlemen, became unmanageable
and tore down the crowded drive at fright
full rate of speed. Three OF four other
teams took fright and joined the runa-
ways several carriages being overturned.
and with their occupants scattered over the
drive. The contagion spread to nearly
every animal within the distance Of mile,
and before the frantic beasts were caught
and quieted half dozen equipageS had
been demolished and some twenty Or thirty
persons injured. Several sustained broken
limbs and others serious injuries, but no

Some 2. 500 people within the enclosure
and 800 on the lumber piles without, saw
yesterdays ball game between Minneapolis
and st. Paul. Probably 800 of the number
came from ST. Paul and shouted themselves
hoarse over the victory of their fayorltes.
The game was interesting. without being
good, as the play was generally loose and
llstleSs on both sides. Minneapolis was
without pitcher. Sowders having strained
himself in the preliminary practice in
game at Duluth. He went into the box
under protest and for four innings retired
the visitors in One two, three order, with
out hit, Minneapolis in the meantime hav-
ing made six runs. In the fifth inning he
again protested, but On being sent to the
box. tossed easy balls and ST. Paul, by six
singles and double, scored six runs, tieing
the game. Shafer then pitched
an inning and Pickett occupied
the box for the remainder of
the game. When the eighth inning was
reached, st. Paul wanted to call the game
on account of darkness, but Baldwin. of
Duluth, who did the umpiring, glanced
over the field and ordered the game to con-
tinue. St. Paul made two more runs and
Minneapolis four, the score standing II to
10. Sowders was disguised with every
thing, but was not to blame. He only
showed his teeth, as usual, when Duryea
mace two-bagger in the sixth and Sage
single every time he came to bat. The
hits were stand-off, though Minneapolis
led in the totals. pounding Duryea for six
teen bases. Occasional CLEANS of brilliant
playing showed through the game, three
double plays being all good. Jevne distin-
guished himself by taking six flies in center
field. The score was as follows:

Beginning TO Arrive
RICHMOND, Va. Oct. 3.-Delegates to
the Knights of Labor national assembly
have been arriving steadily all day, and very
many strange faces may be seen on the
streets Among the latest arrivals are the
delegations from District Assembly 40, Of
New York, who came by steamer to New
port News and thence to Richmond by rail,
and the Milwaukee delegation. The prln-
cipal churches were well attended by the
visitors. Grand Master Workman Powderly
attended high mass at St. Peters cathedral.
He was accompanied by MeSSrS. Mullen
and Hayes, of the national executive COM
mittee. After services he was invited to
meeting of the conference OF st. Vincent
de Paul, in the basement OF the
cathedral, where he was intro
duaed to the members, who greeted
him cordially. He addressed the
conference briefly. thanking them for
the kind reception. He alluded to the
work of the society, and drew COMPARE
son between its work and that of the order
over which he presided. Mr.. Powderly
has been very busy the greater portion of
the day in receiving visitors, but tonight
he has declined to see any one except Grand
Secretary turner anu noulUeIS VI lne CA

of Baltimore, numbering several hundred,
arrived this afternoon on the steamer, act

They marched, preceded by band OF music
to Ford's hotel, where they left the delega-
ton, and the eXcursiOniStS returned to the
boat and left for Baltimore. There are
already between eight and nine hundred
1orf ,har of
