A USEFUL LIFE CLOSED.
After a Long and Active Career,
DR.. Juan Wade Passed Away.

After q Long and Active Career,
DR.. Juan Wade Passed Away.
Last night DR.. Juan Wade, one OF
our oldest and best known citizens
and physicians, quietly passed away
after very brief illness, at his resi-
dence at 2l0 Quinta street. The re-
mains will be inferred at ten O'Clock
tomorrowmorningf from the San Fern
ando cathedral.
DIR. Juan Wade was II years of age,
being born in Spain in 1873,
from which country he emil
grated to America, coming to
Sau Antonio shortly after the civil
war. The deceased was . very success
fuI practitioner, especially in the
terrible diseases of small pox and
cholera, in which he effected some
marvellous cures, owing to his fear
lessness in taking hold of the disease.
He always volunteered his useful
service, in such epidemics, and
through his humanitarian works
became very popular. DIR. Wade at
one time was city physician of San
Antonio, filling the position credit
ably.
Yesterday afternoon, feeling that
death was approaching, he called in
Mr.. Tom Shields to draw up his will,
In which he bequeathed his real es-
tate, of which he owned comfortable
in this city, to his two sisters, one OF
whom lives In Spain, the other in
Cuba, with DR.. Lehman as executor.
Then the aged and fearless man re.
tired for sleep from which he never
again aroused. Justice of the Peace
Anton Adam held the inquest over
the remains, his verdict being death
from old age.
And thus has passed from off this
sphere the soul of one for whose ex-
istence the world is much the better

An Entomologist's Adventures.

G. w. Drum, of San Francisco, who is
"a years old, and white haired and white
bearded, has just returned from New
Mexico and western Texas, where he
spent the summer collecting insects. He
collected 5000, and will sell them to col
lectors, colleges and schools. He has been
hunting bugs since 1874, and has had some
queer adventures. He thus describes

Adolph Sutro is trying the experiment
of raising cinchona trees at his grounds
above the Cliff house. It is from the
bark of about a dozen varieties of this
tree that quinine is extracted, and il
they will thrive in this climate the trees
will become very valuable.
Moreover, the chinchona is a very
snowy tree and highly ornamental, some
of them growing to height of eighty
feet. The enormous medicinal consump'
ton of the bark of the cinchona has
caused the tree to be extensively cult
waited in India and Java. 1t grows in
high attitudes in New Grenada, Ecuador
Peru and Bolivia, where there is great
deal of moisture. 1t has been tried with
success in Australia, near the seacoast
aud Mr.. Sutro thinks some of the varie
ties will grow here, where there Is 6
moisture in the atmosphere all the yeal
round.-San Francisco Examiner.

\ sCHOOLMASTER : HARD TALE.

A schoolmaster, siXty-eight years old,
was pensioned from Il MecIlIenburg estate

to 90 out on the highway as laborer for
l2lf cents Il day. In the heat of summer
and the raw, wet days of fall he has for

WOLVES AT PALMYRA.
One of Pack of Four is Shot and Three
Escape

PALMYRA, Wis, Jan. 26.-Large gray
wolves have made their appearance in the
same locality, in the bluffs four miles south
of here. One of a pack of four was shot by
hunters, the other three escaping to their
Businesses further back Without doubt
with the coming Of spring which Is always
the case the usual number of
wolf litters will be brought forward for
bounties. That the wolves exist in num-
bers in the Kettle Range of bluffs, and
that their haunts are inaccessible. has be-
come an established fact. none believing a
formerly frequently expressed theory
that the wolves were "farmed" for
profit.
