.IAIrI,I To Gill.

CAREIESSNESS OF AN UNDERTAKER CAUSES
TROUBLE TO A CHINAMAN.
The Sah Poo, published at Tientsin, recently
printed the following paragraph: SIN the dis
trict of Pan Yu- in Kuangtung, there is a noun
tain popularity called the Tigers Den. On
this mountain a man had buried his father,
but after the lapse of a few years he selected
another site for his tomb and proceeded to un-
earth his remains. When the grave was dug
open it was found filed with water and the
coffin totally decayed. Seeing this state of
things the undertaken hastily picked up the
bones and placing them in an urn they were
reinterred in another tomb.
That night when the son had fallen asleep.
he dreamt he saw his father in great displeas-
ure and vigorously chastising him. He awoke
quite puzzled, but falling asleep again his
father reappeared, again chastising him as be-
fore. This happened several times and upon
his relating the story to his friends the next
morning some suggested that it might be pos
sible that his fathers spirit objected to being
removed; others limited that the location Of
the new grave might not be satisfactory. But
all these conjectures could not explain the
strangeness of the situation, because the old
grave was full of water and it was incredible
that the paternal names should prefer to re-
main in it to a new. dry and well confgurated
site.
Finally a new thought struck the puzzled
son, and he asked the undertaken if he was
sure he had picked up all the bones when he
put them in the urn. Upon the undertaken
expressing an uncertainty in the matter search
was made. and, sure enough, bone was found
which had escaped notice. This stray bone
was at once inferred with the rest in the urn,
and that night the son enjoyed undisturbed
slumber, his father being no longer displeased
with him for having neglected one of his
bones"

How Specials Work.

washington Correspondence st. Louis Globe
They are telling very funny story about
Maj. Stofer, late of the st. Louis Republic. 1t
seems Stofer was at the races, or something
equally absorbing, and entered his Office late
at night, sans news, sans energy, sans nerve,
sans hustle. He found splendid local story
in a Baltimore paper concerning Missouri
man, and hastily clipped it out, marked it
Special to the Republic" and fired it into the
telegraph Office: The next morning he received
a telegram from the home Office asking why in
thunder he had telegraphed the Baltimore
market as news to st. Louis paper. 1t
turned out that Stofer had pasted his matter
wrong side up. Instead of sending his good
story he had pasted that down and left the
market report to be sent, and the st. Louis
paper received word that in Baltimore lard was
worth - cents, butter 25 cents, potatoes S1.I3
per bushel &c. Stofer is one of the best fell
lows in the world, which is demonstrated by
the fact that he enjoys good joke even when
1t Is on hlmself-a rare good faculty, as most of
US want the joke on some other fellow.

RUDOLPH'S STRANGE DEATH.
Another Account of the Nfeyerling Trax-
edy to be Officially Confirmed.

Cologne Special to the n. Y. Herald, Feb l6
The Frdnkftrter Zeituag publishes to-day
what it claims to be the only authentic account
of the Crown Prince Rudolph's death. Rudolph,
it says, in December last, declared that rather
than see the Baroness Verscera marry young
French fnancier, who was encouraged in his
suit by her family. he would resign the success
sion to the crown and live abroad as private
gentleman. Arrangements for the lady's mar
riage continued, until on January 20 the baron
ess suddenly vanished. On the evening of the
next day the crown princes absence was
noticed, and at 10 o'clock at night Count Hoyos
gave directions to search the forest The for
ester Werner saw light in his hut, and, as he
lived alone he was surprised. and finding the
door locked he broke it in, and saw, stretched
prince and of the baroness. The latter had
taken strychnine. while the crown prince had
shot himself with Werners gun. 1t is said that
the official report will confirm this version.
Rudolph's Big Debts.
London Special to the New York Star.
Despite the lapse of time since the death Of
Crown Prince Rudolph Of Austria the mystery
surrounding the affair is still the foremost
subject of discussion and comment in the CONT
mental capitals. and the Emperor Francis
Joseph is gradually coming to a realizing sense
VI MS SUI II Is Salu tnat tne
emperor is very much displeased with the init
mate friends of the crown prince for having
concealed the irregularities of his career.
Count Borbelles. the former tutor of Rudolph.
is especially blamed for not having reported
to the emperor many of the escapades of
his pupil which came under his notice, and
that gentleman is consequently out Of
imperial favor. Count Hoyos is also an
object of the emperors displeasure. The
emperor has so strongly recommended his
joining Cardinal Lavigerie's anti-slavery cru
SADIE in Africa that the count will scarcely
hesitate to comply with the suggestion, and he
may be thankful that he is let down so easy.
Prince Rudolph was addicted to remarkable
combinations of intoxicants, his favorite drink
being mixture of champagne and cognac, a
connection calculated to shatter the nerves and
addle the brain of Hercules. OF this COM
pound he is said to have absorbed great guam
titles in a day, and his conduct on several
memorable occasions attests the potency of his
peculiar .tipple. His debts in Vienna amounted
to G3O0,00O, though his allowance from the
treasury was 10000 per annum and his pri-
vate income 100000. In some respects he was
very effeminate. He invariably wore two
enormous bracelets, and his large collection of
diamonds was continually added to, as his
means would permit.
