Seven Millions Drowned.

One estimate of the number OF per-
sons drowned by tho late great food In
China Is 1000. 900. This Is made by
English residents in China who have
access to the best sources OF informa-
ton. II this Is anywhere near the
truth the destruction OF life by ono
disaster Is unexampled in historic
time. The number lost is greater than
the population OF Ireland to-day. Ii is
about double that OF the inhabitants OF
the continent OF Australia. 1t Is great
er than the population of our country
some years after the adoption of our
constitution. II is larger than the
population Of Indiana and Illinois now.
Nobody knows how many people
there are in China. The number has
been estimated from 200. 900. 900 to
400. 600. 600. and the population has
long pressed upon the means of subsist-
ence. Over seventy years ago an En-
glish minister wrote a book ION Popu-
lation," which furnished a new word
TO the language and texts for hundreds
OF books since. He showed that at the
rate of usual increase the world would
soon be so crowded that starvation
must certainly ensue. He illustrated
his theory by the increase of rabbits.
showing how soon they would destroy
every green thing from off the face OF
the earth. This was long before the
rabbits proved his theory in Australia
But this author showed how the
natural increase Of population was held
in check by war, disease. famine.
pestilence. floods. and other natural
causes His theory has received
new illustration in the crowded
old empire of China recently.
People die there by crowds.
Only the other day four thousand were
swept away in trying to construct a
dam against the flood of Yellow river.
A disaster I'm China Is not worthy of
mention unless several hundred are
killed. Recently n ship went down
with seven hundred on board. About
one hundred were killed in mine ex-
plosion Mt Vancouver week ago.
Evidently the great law of Malthus is
operating. in China even the rivers
are crowded with an amphibious popu-
lation. Little gardens are titled on the
river craft. Every foot Of land is util-
lied. and every ounce of anything
that can be used as fertilizer. The
Chinese are pouring out in swarms over
all the islands OF the Pac fic, over
South America, over the East Indian
islands. and now they threaten North
America. Great rs was the destruc-
ton OF life in the late flood. IL will soon
not be noticed in any apprecIable de-
crease OF population. The Chinese
increase like the locusts. and the death
OF few millions does not diminish the
tide or its effects. More of them die
than of any other people, because
more OF them live; but the same mys-
terious law that causes more boys to be
born after war than girls will di-
minish the Chinese population to a
proper ratio with the means of sub
sistencc. 1t will not be necessary to
introduce a microbe among them. as
Pasteur proposes with the rabbits Of
Australia. To keep them from devouring
the earth. - Chicago Times.

The Chinese Sunday school of st.
Andrews Cathedral held their
Christmas festival last evening in
the old cathedral building. The
affair was under the direction of the
Rev. Herbert II. Gowen. The in
terror of the room was very tastily
decorated with flowers and ever
greens. AT one end was large
Christmas tree loaded down with
gifts, which looked very pretty when
lighted up with small candles. Be-
sides the pupils, there were also pre-
sent the members of the Chinese
Congregation and few invited
guests.
The proceedings opened with the
singing of hymn in Chinese, after
which Mr.. Gowen read two collects
in the same language. The Bishop
gave brief address explaining why
Christmas was celebrated. 1t was
followed by a magic lantern exhibi-
'tion which pleased the little ones
very much. The Christmas tree
was lighted and the gifts were dis
tributed among the children amid
much amusement. Everyone in the
room received present. The
whole affair was exceedingly enjoy
able and an entire success.-Dec.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

1t is with much regret we an
nounce the death of Charles, eldest
son of Rev. w. B. Oleson, Principal
of the Kamehameha School, which
took place Tuesday evening. from
the results of an accident. Early
that morning the little fellow who was
II years of age, went to the Prepa-
ratory school to distribute presents
among the pupils. A short time
after, one of the teachers discovered
him sitting on chair holding his
leg up, and pool of blood on the
floor. Upon examination it was
found that the artery just below the
knee had been cut right off, and a
large piece of glass remained in the
wound. DR.. j. S. McGrew was at
once summoned and arrived quickly,
but was unable to do anything on
account of the great loss of blood.
The poor boy died at half past five
O'Clock in the evening. No one saw
the accident happen, but there is no
doubt the little fellow walked right
into Il glass door which he was un-
able to see owing to ii being rather
dark at the time. The sad affair cast
quite gloom over the institution. Mr..
and Mrs. Oleson and family have
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community in their sad loss. The
funeral took place this afternoon at
three O'Clock from the family resi-
dence at the school.

ohinaman yelled out rs loud as no

the spot, the whole three giving
chase to the intruder, who after get
ing out by the window scampe'
away as fast as his legs could ca.
him. However, he was soon caught
and after a brief struggle. taken to

House he had ON his person a sill
yer watch, thirteen keys all sizes,
several watch chains and two purses,

small ladder was near by. There
were marks of bare feet on the win

is not the slightest clue to- the
perpetrator.
