LONDON, Jan. ia dispatch was
received here today from Hong Kong
stating that the steamer Neifoo has ar
rived at that port bringing the intelli-
gcncc of the loss of the steamer Nomi-
chow off Cupehi Points. The Neifoo re-
ports that the shaft of the Namichow
blo~c supposedly at the point where it
emcrgcs from the hull. This allowed
water t. rush INTO the shaft and make
its way to the engine room, thence to
tnt fire room. The steamer fires were
soon exiting gulshcd and she settled rapidly.
Water continued to pour in unchecked
and in a short time the vessel foundered.
The Nam!chow was employed in trad
ing locally in China seas, and she had
on board a very large number of Chinese
passengers. She sank SO rapidly that il
was impossible to LAUGH her boats even
had she had enough to carry all hands
on board. When she went down She
carried with her II 4 persons, every one
of whom were drowned. The steamer
was otficered by Europeans and hcrcrcw
also consisted OF sailors, fireman, etc,
from different European countries. They
stood to their posts to the last and did
everything possible to save their vessel.
All went down with the steamer.

p. ]. Brown. who has been suffering
from pneumonia for some time at his
home on Clayton street, is still very low.
Last Friday THE CITIZEN contained
an article on Mr.. Browns condition, and
showing shameful neglect of the old
man. His room had been unheated, the
bed clothing unchanged, until his condi-
ton was really distressing.
Since the article appeared Mr.. Brown
has been looked after by his children. A
good FIRE has been kept burning IN the
room, his linen changed and his face
kept clean,
But the disease had gained such hold
upon him that it is very doubtful if he
can recover.

ruary.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-Great apprehension
is felt in all classes of society regarding
the condition OF the Duke of Clarence and
Avondale, eldest son of the Prince of
Wales, and therefore the heir presumptive
to the throne of England.
The attack of congestion of the lungs,
from which he is suffering at Sandringham
hall, the residence oI the Prince OF Wales,
near Lynn Regis, Noriolkshire, developed
into a very serious case, and the opinion is
freely and openly expressed that the
Duke will not recover.
A bulletin issued from Sandringham hall
at $50 this morning states that grave
symptoms have supervened in the case,
and that the condition of the Duke is
critical.
Physicians in attendance upon the
Duke have naturally sought to prevent
the impression getting abroad that his
Roval Highness is in any danger, and
bulletins hitherto issued have been some.
what optimistic in their wording. The
news that they now acknowledge that
the disease has developed dangerous
symptoms is taken by the general public
to mean that they have given up hope.
OF course the ground of this belief is
very slight, but the fact cannot be de-
MED that it generally prevails.
Expression of sympathy for his high
ness and the Princess of Wales and TO,
Duke himself are many and sincere, and
On all SIDES and among all classes. The
hope is lNplrssrd that the Duke will be
able t. bnttlt successfully against the
disease with which he has been attacked

IT is often difficult to arrive accu-
rately at the value of a physicians
services, but some of the doctors
themselves place pretty high esti-
mate upon the value of what they can
do. A surgeon in Chicago who in

Observation-Disclosures old child suffer
ing from diphtheria, thus enabling it
to breathe until it recovered from
the disease, sent in a bill Of $4,000.
The father offered $500 instead. A
New York physician called to Atlanta,
Ga, for ten DAYS charged 50, 500 for
his time and attention to the case,
and at the trial in court several of
New York's high-priced physicians
said they would have charged $500
per day for the same trip. People
who have such experience with phys
icians, or who hear of them, will
wisely ascertain the cost of such serv-
ice before engaging it. That seems
to be the best and most business-like
method in professional matters as
well as in trade

1t is quite likely that Mr.. Cleveland
and other party leaders will endeavor to
impress the doctrine set forth by the
Times upon congress-. They foresee the
consequences of wiping out the pro-
tect!ve policy, and want to avoid them.
But such a course wonld be neither
nor courageous It would
not be keeping faith with the people.
Such papers as the World and the Chi
cago Herald are much more honest in
this matter than the Times. They say
the democratic party is an anti-protec-
ton party, and that it is in duty bound
to repeal the existing tariff laws and to
repeal them at the earliest practicable
moment. That is precisely what it has
pledged itself to do. The difference be-
tween the republican and the democratic
parties, SO far as the tariff is concerned,
is exactly the difference between sound
protection and free trade.

In Science, DR.. H. w. Cohn tells
of the part played by bacteria in the
dairy. He tells us that in the nor
NAL process of ripening cream bac-
terra have been multiplying with alb
solutely inconceivable rapidity, and
it is owing to this that the butter &C.
guires that peculiar, delicate, pleas
ant aroma which makes it differ from
ole0margarine. The action of the
bacteria upon the sour milk and
ripening cream is sort of decompo-
sition which, if carried too far, would
make it offensive. AS result of de-
composition a great many chemical
products are produced, the first as
butter, agreeable, and later the
products Of decay, disagreeable. So
the fine flavor or aroma is produced
by bacteria. After the butter is
churned their career is ended-mOst

the washing. while those remaining
are killed by the salt.

THE late Prof. L. Bischoff, dis
tinguished psychologist of Munich,
Germany, used to insist that women
were intellectually inferior to men,
and must be because their brains
were lighter in weight. BY much
research he discovered that the aver
age weight of mans brain is 1850
grammes, while woman has only
1, $50 on an average, but when the
wise Professor died his brain was
found to weigh only l, 245 grammes.
The discovery comes too late to let
any more wisdom into his lightweight
brain, but it might be useful lesson
to some Of the know-it-alls who still
live.

MANY parents think it is better
that children should have some dis
eases while young. and carelessly per-
nit them to pick up whatever is
going in the way Ct measles or whoop-
ing cough, but all the children
affected do not live thr. ugh these
diseases, and each one is focus of
infection to many others. On the
whole, it would be safer and better
to prevent their spread, and if there
could be universal effort in this di-
rection there would be a tremendous
lessening of infantile mortality. 1t
can hardly be true that a person
makes better adult for having had
all the diseases of childhood, and in
fact many an adult carries about with
him a defect of some sort, often in
sight or hearing, as a result of scarlet
fever or measles.

FIGURES published by the Marine
Review indicate that the number and
value of vessels building for next
season on the great lakes is larger
than in either of the two last pre-
ceding years, though the tonnage is
slightly less. The total now under
construction is forty-nine, with a
burden Of 6s, 40 tons and a value o.
sc, 9O9, 500. The reduction of nearly
10 per cent. in the carrying capacity
is on large freight steamers, and that
is due mostly to the fact that three

steady increase in shipbuilding on the
lakes since 1885, the tonnage for the

WAITED THIRTY YEARS I
LAUGH.

A Georgian of considerable promi-
nence in the region Of his own BALI
wick made the following statement be-
fore q crowd of admiring listeners in
the corridor of the Metropolitan at
Washington.
This country has been run long
enough by the Grand Army men. We
fought and bled and died for our couns
try Just as much as they did, and We
deserve Just as much credit as the +.
There was not man who took the field
under the stars and bars who did not
believe that he was lighting for his
country, and looked upon the northern
element as oppressors and tyrants. We
were brothers who disagreed and fought.
We both loved the same girl and We
had different ideas regarding her future
that is all there is in it. The north
erners call us traitors; We have Just as
much right to apply the same term as
they. If the south had won in that
fight the country would have been as
great and glorious and prosperous as
now. What we could not accomplish
on the battle field we'll now do at the
ballot box. He who laughs last laughs
best. Thirty years is good while to
wait for a chance to indulge in hearty
laugh, but the smile is breaking over
the face of the south now. It will
broaden into a grin and finally fill the
land with mirth."

way, having been watching by the
bedside of his dying boy, became I'M
At for duty and begged to be relieved.
The corporation did not recognize his
right to have dying boy, much less
to watch by him, and refused. So
the signal man went to sleep, and
two trains crashing together killed
thirteen people and awakened him.
The indignation of the corporation
toward the signal man was terrible
to see, and the manner in which it
shunted its own responsibility upon
his shoulders was lesson i n agility
and hoggishness.

the Rochester Union says that $50 long
as the greater part of the public reve-
nues comes from duties levied on I'M
ports, incidental protection will be given
to the domestic products that correspond
with those imports. To such incidental
protection we have nc objection" What.
no objection to incidental violence done

No objection to incidental fraud? No
objection to incidental robbery: No
objection to incidental robber baronism:
It is charitable to conclude that the
Union was indulging in an incidental

THE wonderful growth of Western
cities since the war has developed a
new quality of wealth and educated a
new school of financiers that are as
permanent and as potent factors in
the nineteenth century civilization as
any ether elements that enter into
its makeup. Croakers call the men
themselves boomers and their calling
speculation. But men who know them
and their value recognize them to be

BASIS OF ENGLAND's WEALTH.

A sentence from the Article by Lord
Masham, president Fair-Trade cub, is
worthy of thought:
"Free-trade England levies a larger
amount of customs taxation, both in
amount and reckoned by head of popu-
lation, than any other country in Eu-
rope. But she does SO only OH nom
competing imports, whilst admitting
free every commodity which completes
with, unde1sells, or extinguishes home
production. Was there ever apparently
SO suicidal a policy? And yet British
free-traders (save the markD, and es-
pecially the Golden club of to-day,
vaunt such policy to be the essence
of wisdom"
This Is exactly the "tariff- for-revenue-
only" system by which we are to raise
our needed saOO,OOO,OoO yearly under
democratic pledges, if they carry them
out. 1t fails to give England prosper
ity. Lord Masham says:
I'm spite of the maxims of political
economy and of the repeated contention
of Golden club writer's, exports of goods
have not paid, and do not pay, for all
the imports into the United Kingdom"
He then gives figures showing that,
from 1875 to 1891, they bought 50, 49,
600, 900 more than they sold, the i'm
ports in 1S9O-91 exceeding the exports
by $545, 0O0,0 0O-a risky balance. Still
more, he says:
"Were it necessary, it would not be
difficult to show that instead of the
protective period of '1S15-46 in the
United Kingdom having been one OF
gloom and adversely, it was not merely
the contrary. but that the foundation
of the future wealth and prosperity OF
British traders were laid during those
years."

The south is in favor Of doing only an

Union soldiers should be reduced at
least two-thirds. It's Investigations
