The king recently appointed Dr. Rasch
physician in ordinary to the court, and the
Siam Press takes advantage of the opportu-
nifty to tell DIR. Rasch about things which
deserve his particular attention. It re-
quests him to enrich psychological medi-

in by powerful neighbors, not only leaves
his country defenseless but also rules his
people so badly that they must long to see

The editor desires the doctor to report

For That Purpose the World Should Be

For That Purpose the World Should BE
Divided Into "a Zones.
Pearson's Weekly
Travelling has been made so easy and
rapid of late that some systematic arrange
ment of international time has become
almost a necessity. 1t is we'll nigh impossi-
BILE to remember the exact difference be-
tween the times of two places, as there are
usually lot of odd minutes to take into
consideration. This is great nuisance for
the traveller. though it would hardly do to
suggest that the time should be reckoned
the same at the same moment all the world
over; we are so accustomed to have the sun
high up in the sky at IL o'clock, that such a
drastic change would be too great shock
to our feelings. But proposal has been
made by which the time at one place can be
easily comparable with the time anywhere
else.
For this purpose the world would be
divided into "a zones; each zone would have
its own time, which would of course differ
by one hour from that in the next zone
This certainly seems worth considering, and,
if it could be satisfactorily arranged, would
be extremely convenient to travellers and
for telegraphic purposes.
Moreover, the time at any place would
never differ by more than half an hour from
the mean sun time, so that it would still be
IL o'clock when the sun was at its highest
point. North America is already divided on
this principle into five zones, the most east
erly of which is four hours after Greenwich
time. and the time is called "interna-
tionaL" The others in order are Eastern"
Central" Mountain" and "Pacifc"
times, differing successfully by one hour

CHARLIE REED DEAD.

Suspicious circumstances Come cted with
gation-His Trouble With His Wife
Brought Out in the Case.
NEW YORK, Sept 20.-Charles Reed,
for many years advance agent for Fore
paugh's circus, died this morning under
circumstances which call for an investi.
cation by the Coroner. He came home last
night and complained of pains in the head.
His wife made him some hot lemonade and
he went to bed. This morning Mrs. Reed
awoke her sister-in-law, who lived with
them, and told her Mr.. Reed was dead
Before Miss Reed recovered from the shock
the wife had called an undertaken, who em-
balmed the body.
Then she sent dispatch to james Jour-
dan, with Forepaugh's circus at Sunburv,
Pa, asking for loan of $50, saying she
would return it Monday This message
the police suspect has a double meaning.
Jacob Reed, a friend of the de-
ceased, said that Reed and his wife
had not lived happily together. DIR. Irving
D. Hitchcock, who gave certificate to the
effect that Reed had died from heart fail
ure, said that he had been attending the
agent for several months
Six years ago Reed was married to q
young woman who was employed as a
chariot rider with Forepaugh's circus. The
couple lived happily together until the agent
discovered that his wife was very friendly
with James Jourdan, one of the ticket
takers. This lead to a separation, but
through the efforts of his sister there was o
reconciliation between Reed and his wife, and
they went to live together again. Having
saved up 81, 500 he deposited the money in
his wife's name. Recently the old trouble
between the pair broke out anew and it was
decided that they we're to separate forever.

Of physicians.
George Leatherby, of 1888 Seneca St, Buffalo,
tells in the Buffalo Ne,os about his wife's sad con-
dition. He writes:
my wife, Hannah Leatherby. had long been
sufferer with rheumatism, complicated with
kidney trouble and nervous complaints. Often
when she went anywhere, it would be necessary to
bring her home in a carriage.

completely discouraged. Yet to-day she would

she was in before taking the remedy that was rec
commended to her by the last physician she con-
suited. After she had used one bottle of this, she
threw away her cane, and when she had taken six
times that amount, she was well and strong. This
is solely the result of her use of Paine's celery
compound, medicine now prescribed by several
physicians in Buffalo. My wife is nearly 70 years
old and to-day is doing all her own work. thank
God for what this compound has done for her,
The Neacs, In commenting upon this, says that
Mrs. Leatherby's case has aroused a great deal of
interest among her friends and acquaintance and
many people come to ask about her marvellous
cure. They may come doubling, but they go away

most reliable remedy known for curing disease and

talking the matter over for long time they
decided to burn it, and with the insurance
money put up one with more style about it.
He fired the building, but when it began to
burn his conscience smote him so hard that he
turned in and saved part of the furniture
and prevented the total destruction of the
building. Then he and his wife quarreled
over the matter and she used to threaten to

his new piety and the threats of his wife

ONE WAY TO RUN A TRUST.
Reported New Scheme to Garry Out the
Coal Corporations Designs.

A Reported New Scheme to Carry Out the
Coal Corporations Designs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-[Special IA
Trenton dispatch received late this after
noon in Wall street announced that new
scheme was on foot for carrying out the pur-
poses of the coal combination which has
been the object of SO many attacks. The
dispatch says that the Central Railroad of
New Jersey is to lease the Philadelphia and
Reading, the Port Reading and the Lehigh
Valley Railroads, there being no law in
New Jersey prohibiting domestic rail-
road corporation from leasing another rail-
road, and adds that there can be no objec-
tion made to this lease by the Vail estate
Other considerations apart, it is not be-
lieved that the Jersey Central would be
willing to undertake lease of the Read
ing system. Some consideration would
have to be given. and it is not probable
that the Jersey Central would be willing to
guarantee anything on the income bonds or
stocks of the Reading Company. S. M.
Williams, Third Vice President of the Jer-
sey Central Company, said he had heard no
mention of such an arrangement, and did
not believe there was any foundation for
the story.

HOW sHRIMPs ARE KEPT,

Quite an Elaborate Process Necessary to
Preserve the Little Fish.
Pearson's Weekly.l
Shrimps are caught in the Gulf of Mexico.
The season lasts four months-two in the
spring and two in the autumn-and in that
time tremendous business Is done in the
way of catching and canning them. In New
Orleans, which is the headquarters of the
trade, 10000 tins day of these little fish
are packed.
Girls who are experts in their line take
the shrimps in hand. With one twist they
take off their heads, and with a pressure at
the tail the shrimp is forced out. After
being taken from the shells the shrimps are
then put in a vat of salt water, and are
cooked by means of steam pipes running
through the vats.
Then they are put into little gauze bags,
each bag just big enough to fit inside the
cans used, there being so much phosphorus
In the shrimp that, unless some precaution
is taken, the tin would be eaten through by
its action. After the shrmps are placed in
the cans they are hermeticaIly sealed, this
work being done by machinery.
The cans are then put into large tank.
and once again the shrimps are put through
steaming process, this being ten times
hotter than before. After this the shrimps
are thoroughly cooked, md when the cans
cool they are labelled and put in boxes.

WARNED NOT TO OBEY.
The Chinese Six Companies Issue a
Strong Proclamation.
GEARY'S LAW TO BE DISREGARDED.
An Appeal to Their Emperor to Come t
Their Protection.
THEY WANT THEIR RIGHTS REGARDED

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept 20.-A
second proclamation has been issued by the
Chinese Six Companies warning all Chinese
residing in this country against complying
with the Geary registration law. An ap-
peal to the Emperor of China has also been
made. The proclamation says the Geary
law degrades the Chinese, and, if obeyed,
will put them lower than the meanest OF
people.
"We do not want Chinese to obey" says
the proclamation. In making this law the
people of the United States have treated
sworn treaties made with our country and
our Emperor with contempt They have
disregarded our rights and paid no atten-
tion to their promises and made a law to
suit themselves, no matter how unjust to
us. If any of our people think they are
wiser than we are and would obey this law:
if any would obey it for the sake of making
money, let them stop. Do not do 1t. You
will repent it if you do. Many white men
say this law is not right, and those who
obey it are not wise, but ignorant and fool
ish. Let us stand together. We hope all
will work with us and then we can break
this infamous law. Following is the law"
(Then follows the full text of the Geary
haiu yOu NV w WY
this law"
The appeal to the Emperor is couched in
the following language:
Tien-Tie-Lord of our Government and
son of Heaven for thousands of years:
Believing that our Government is in igno-
rance of the manner in which its treaties
with the United States are being violated,
and of the indignities being heaped upon
the Chinese people by the Government of
the United States we, the Six Compadies of
the United States, do now appeal to
you for relief in behalf of your chill
dren in this country. Added to
the hardships heretofore inflicted upon
our people by the United States, its rulers
now propose to force upon us another law to
degrade US. 1t is cruel and unjust meas
ure, and we pray for relief from its exactions.
We transcribe the law as it comes to us.
We are told we must obey it or suffer loss
of porperty and cruelties. and be forced to
leave the homes we have toiled to make in
this country. We ask for help. We ask
for justice. We ask that our Government
protect its children. We send you the law.
The appeal is signed by each of the Pres
idents OF the Six Companies.

GENERAL WEAvER'S DENIAL

OF the Charges of Brutality Brought Agains,
Him in Georgia 1t Is General One, and
Doesn't Answer the Afidavits in the
Case.
WAY Cross, GA, Sept 20-General
Weaver, Third party candidate for Presi-
dent, made his first speech in his campaign
in Georgia at this place to-day. General
Weaver and party were escorted to the
Opera House by the County Committee OF
the Third party. The crowd numbered
barely 500, 200 of whom were negroes who
occupied the gallery.
General Weaver spoke about one hour
He first told fhis recent trip out West and
the enthusiastic manner in which he had
been received in all Western States Ac-
cording to General Weaver's account his
trip through the West was a continued
ovation and he predicted that almost all of
those States, Western, Southwestern and
Northwestern would 60 for Weaver and

been distributed in the towI in the morn
ing General Weaver addressed the chief
portion OF his speech to replying to these
charges. He denounced them all as un-
qualifedly false and circulated merely for
campaign purposes He denied that he had

there and converted the money to his own
use He said that number of Southern

General Dodge, commanding the division,
he levied an assessment upon the wealthy
residents of the town to be devoted to the
maintenance of the refugees. The money,
he said, never came into his hands, but was
turned over to the Commissary General,
Cyrus Carpenter, and by him distributed to
the refugees.
The charge that he has shot down horses,
cattle and the pigs of citizens for his own
use he denied, saying that he had a good
boarding house and did not need to shoot
down private property in this manner; that
he had robbed the citizens of Pulaski of
supplies and provisions for which they were
never paid he also denied General
Weaver made the same explanation of this
that he has made before, viz, that when the
Union army entered Pulaski it was in n eed
of supplies of all kinds. By order of Gen.
eral Dodge he ordered the soldiers to take
possession of all supplies needed, giving
vouchers for the same. Every one of these
vouchers was afterward paid, he said.
General Weaver did not undertake to an

A GROVER CLEVELAND CAMPAIGN
To Be Conducted in Massachusetts by the
Democrats This Fall.


BOSTON, Sept 2O-[SpecidL lit is
understood that the Democrats of Massa-
chusetts will pitch their battle this
year on the highest elevation in the
political landscape. 1t is to be
Grover Cleveland campaign. All other
issues are to be made subsidiary to his cleo
tion. The talk heard abroad of electing a
Democratic Governor, while at the same
time conceding the election of Republican
Presidentil electors, does not reflect the
purposes of the Democratic managers
Least of all does it represent the
wishes of William E. Russell The
Governor believes that no Democrat
is as strong with the people of
Massachusetts, as Mr.. Cleveland, and the
votes cast in November, he is persuaded,
will justify This belief But, whether
right or wrong in this view, it is GER
tain that no man will labor
with greater earnestness to place
Nh. Cleveland at the head of the Demo-
cratic poll The Democrats will not ignore
State issues, especially if their opponents
see fit to make them prominent, but the
argument and the inspiration of the cam
paign will come from another source
This is not to be campaign of personali-
ties, but that does not mean that the char
acters of the men who are candidates for the
suffrages of the people are not to be exam
ined in the light of public duties of official
service
