Reported Disappearance of
an Englishman.
He Kept Reading-Room for
Boys on Third Street.
He Left the Place in Charge of a
Lady and Departed.
Tan Game Raided and Twenty-Five
Cinnamon Taken to the Police
Station-Other Items.

The police We're notified yesterday
that G. B. Studd, an Englishman about
q 80 years of age, had been missing since
Monday last, and although inquiries
have been made in every direction, not
the slightest trace of his whereabouts
can be discovered. Mr. stndd, who is a
Cambridge graduate, was in training for
the English ministry, but his health and
mind gave way some time ago through
overwork, since which time he has been
compelled to give up his studies and has
travelled about from place to place under
the advice of his physicians. His men
tai disorder takes tile form OF melan-
cholia, and when under its influence he
has been known to go away to the noun
talns and remain for some time in
prayer. 1t is thought that he may be
suffering from an attack of melancholia,
and has gone somewhere to pray. Ii
this be true he may return in a few days
all right. His friends, however, are very
much worried about him. He had, as
near as can be learned, no property here,
although he had quite sum OF money
on deposit in the bank.
Some time ago Mr. Studd established
free reading room for boys at 1O5 West
Third street. His object was to dissuade
young boys from spending their idle
time upon the street, but to devote it to
reading. With this end in view he
rented room and at his own exnense
fitted it up very neatly and comfortably.
All of the current publications of the
day such as would make pleasant and
profitable reading for boys were sub
scribed for. The room was opened with
a little dinner, which were given to the
newsboys. Some forty or fifty attended
and enjoyed a nice repast.
Until recently he gave his personal
attention to the superintendence of the
room. He was very popular with the
visitors to the place and seemed ready at
any time to do all he could for their
comfort and pleasure.
Some time last week Mr.. Studd made
UP his mind that he would return to
England, and he was making his prepar-
ations for the trip. He had placed the
reading room in the charge of a lady and
gave out that he would go to Santa
Monica to bid some OF his acquaintance
a farewell. i-r
The missing man had black beard,
pale, features and was feet inches in
height. He had on a dark-blue hat and
grey suit with cut-away coat. His
weight was about 100 pounds.
Mr.. Studd is one of the famous family
of brothers whose cricketing exploits
are known to every Englishman, at
home and abroad.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Human Bones Found in an Old Mexi
can Oven.

Yesterday morning while gang of
laborers was at work in trench behind
the Los Angeles Cannery on the corner
OF Anderson and Also streets, across the
river, they came upon an old Spanish
oven some distance below the surface of
the ground. On removing the top of
the oven they were surprised to find a
number of human bones, which had evil
IDENTIFY been in the receptacle for con-
siderable length of time. From their
appearance the bones were the remains
OF a body that had been burned in the
oven before burial, but no clue as to the
date of the mysterious interment could
be found, beyond two coins, ,one of which
still retained sufficient of its stamping to
be recognizable as an American half dol
lar of the date Of 1848. Coroner Mere
dith was notified Of the discovery, but
will not take any official action in the
matter

RUSHING THINGS.
@fects Of the Tariff Bill on the Trade
Of Foreign Countries.
Every Thing Available Pressed into ser-
vice to Get Articles of Merchan-
disc Here Before the 1911
Goes Into Effect.

The Mckinley bill is likely to destroy
the Birmingham, Eng, button trade.
Many orders have been cancelled, and
the employees in most OF the button
works have been put on short time. At
Port Hope, Ont, schooners. steamers
and cars are employed in rushing every
thing to the frontier before the higher
American duties como into force on the
9th inst. 1t is feared, however, Fri
days storm will prevent ,.rge guam.
tity OF produce from getting over in
time, and buyers have therefore
stopped buying any thing more
for the United States market. This has
caused an almost complete stagnation in
barley, eggs, and apples, and stag
nation is likely to continue some weeks,
or until the new regulation is under
stood. 1t is too early to say what effect
the Mckinley bill will have there. The
major part Of this seasons production
will have got to market under the old
tariff. The effect of the passage OF
the Mckinley bill has been to hurry
forward shipments of barley at Bell
eville, Ont, Of which the elevators
ly half the crop, which is light one,
has already been moved. A very large
export Of peas and apples has been made.
All the eggs in store have also been
shipped. The prospective effect of the
measure will be to stop the export
Of barley and peas unless the United
States prices advance to such an extent
that about present prices can be paid.
The export of eggs will al
SO be stopped. The fact that the Nc
Kinley bill will come into force Octo-
Der G has had the effect of materially
lowering the price of barley, at Sarnia,
Ont high price was paid for several
days by those buying for shipment to
the United States before the bill came
into force. 1t is likely that the effect
of the bill in the future will be to lower
the price of barley in that district, and
the United States as a market for Cana
dian eggs is considered practically
closed. The seed houses at Cape Vim
cent, N. Y, are working full force night
and day and employing as many schoon-
ers as possible in order to get their Ca
madam grown peas and beans into the
country before the Mckinley bill goes
into effect

MOTHERS HEROISM.
Gave up Her Life for Her Endangered
Children.

Gave up Her Life for Her Endangered
Children.
One of the most terrible accidents
ever known in Dubuque, Ia, occurred
Sunday morning at o'clock. The resi-
dence of Ex-policeman John McBee was
discovered on fire. A neighbor ran
across and tried to arouse the family.
While knocking at the door the window
in the upper story crashed and McBee
fell to the ground. For few moments
he was senseless. When he recovered
he began crying that his family were up
stairs. The flames were quickly extin-
quished and the fireman entered at the
top of the landing. The mother
and three children we're found and
quickly removed. Mrs. McBee
and the Oldest daughter, Rose,
aged IS years, were dead. The young
est daughter, Bertha, aged 16 years, and
Charles, 5 years old, were still alive.
The boy died in the afternoon. The
girl is still alive but can not recover.
Nc Bee is too dazed to give connected
account. 1t is gathered that he awoke
nearly suffocated and aroused his wife.
They CROPPED in the smoke and darkness
until McBee struck the window, through
which he leaped or fell. The mother
was with him, but remembering her
children, went back to save them. When
found the family were in a group with
their arms around each others necks.
The building is small two-story frame.
The bodies were very slightly burned.

NEW NAVAL VESSELS.

Contracts Awarded for Four More-The
Vastly Inferior Naval Strength Of the
United States.
The award Of contracts for the con.
struction of three new battle ships and
Q cruiser last week gives evidence OF
promptness in carrying out the laws for
Increasing the effectiveness of the navy.
Two of the battle ships and the, cruiser
are to be constructed by the Cramps,
Of Philadelphia-the lowest bidders
and the third battle ship is to be
built on the Pacific Coast The
big vessels are to cost a little over
IS, 900, 900 each, and the cruiser about
SO, a,750,0 900. With these four new ships
the United States will have Ave battle
ships and ten cruisers we'll armored, to.
gether with thirty-one unarmored YES.
sels The inferior position of the United
States as a naval power will still be
very marked, Notwithstanding tho
liberality Of Congress. Even China is
ahead Of US in this respect, and such
countries as Austria, Norway, Sweden,
Turkey, Holland, Spain and italy,
have much larger navies than the
United States. England has 70
:
armored and POI unarmored ships.
France 81 armored and 203 unarmored,
Russia 40 armored and 119 unarmoured,
and Germany 40 armoured and 119 un.
armoured. When the new American
ships are built there will be demand
tor more sailors to man them. 1t is esti-
mated that ., 900 additional seamen will
be required before half the number Of
vessels under way are constructed. The
present strength Of the naval establish-
ment Is 10000 men, which at present
gives only about three-quarter crew
for the ships in commission, and the
Secretary of the Navy will be obliged,
during the next session, to ask Congress
for relief. There is no doubt that an
act will be passed to increase the mum.
ber Of enlisted men for the new navy.

USING CATS AS CLOCKS.

An Ingenious Expedient of the Chinese
Abbo Huc's Story.
Every one knows that cats can see in the
dark, and the reason they oan do so is be-
cause OF the peculiar construction Of
their eyes. You may have noticed that
in moderate light the pupil or black
part OF pussy's eye is small and of an oval
shape, while in full glare of light 1t be-
comes narrow. Now, in the dark 1t ex-
pands TO circle and nearly fills the sur
face OF the eyeball. This popularity of
the cats eyes is turned to account in a
curious manner by the Chinese The Able
Hue relates that when he was travelling
IN China he asked his attendant what
time 1t was. The man went over TO a
cat that was quietly baslking in the sun.
and examining its eyes told the Able
that 1t was about two hours after noon.
ana on being questioned how he knew
that, he explained that the pupils of q
cats eyes were largest in the morning
and that they gradually grew smaller as
the light increased, till they reached
their minimum at noon; that then they
began to widen again, till at night they
once more became large. The good
AoDe was filled with admiration for the
ingenuity OF people who could use cats
as clocks. But 1t must be admitted that
this way Of telling the time of dav 4

trusted in very clear and serene weather.
