Long before the hour fixed for the cere-
mony a large number OF Chinese and
whites impelled by curiosity gathered on
Jackson street and watched the prepare
tons for the procession.
There was the usual supply OF funeral
baked meats" weeping women and gaud-
lily dressed attendants.
The. hearse was drawn by four coal
black horses and following 1t were two
hacks filed with musicians, aud about
fifty other hacks with Chinese friends OF
the deceased. The remains were escorted

'49. and was one of the oldest interpreters
on the Pacific Coast. When he first came
here he worked in the mines and succeeded

the railroads with thousands of Chinese
laborers during tile work of construction.

ART IMPRISONED.
Painters in Kings River
Canyon.
HEMMED IN BY TORRENTS
Adventures and Mishaps of -Four
Young Men Caused by Flood
in the Sierra Nevadas.

The exploration Of the Kings River
canyon by quartet of artists during the
past six weeks has been attended by a
series of thrilling experiences and hair
breadth escapes not often paralleled in
that wild and picturesque region.
Probably the only man who has thor
oughly investigated the canvon and ex-
plored the dangerous recessys of the re-
gion is John Muir. A desire to paint
hitherto unsketched bits of crag and tor
rent stimulated w. n. Bnll 10 organize the

product of whose pencil has often ap-
peared in HaIpe and other publications.

HemphilPs action was due more to an at.
ror of judgment than anything else. He
had, however. given the church an unkind
slap and the members felt very badly
over it.
Both Elders J. d. Thornton and F. A.
Berlin are very much averse to making
public DIR. Hemphilps letters TO them.
just before the morning service they
talked the matter over in the vestioule
and concluded TO withhold the document.
Later in the day the treasurer of the
church, George A. Newhall, was seen a:
his fine Van Ness avenue residence.
Il am going 20 Chicago tonight and don't
want to be mixed up In it any more" was
his first utterance, and his manner was
politely anxious TO get rid of distasteful
subject.
'How much was the salary he was to
get?" he was asked.
at was 10 be $4,000. but as we all thought
DR.. Hemphil was a rich man we had in
tended t. pay him quarterly Instead of
monthly"
How long was be there?"
Pour months
well, he was there one quarter, and a
month over. Was there nothing said about
salary?"
No; that is the unfortunate part of the
whole thing. He never intimated that he
wanted any money"
WAS Dr. HemphilI liked by his congre-
gation?"
He was very popular with us. There
was not man. woman or child who
would not have stood up for him"
There is more than one prominent men,
bel OF the church who will now go East.
Mr.. and Mrs. GarnisS intend to 90 at once
DR.. A. w. Colver. who preached yester-
day. has been supplying pulpits on the
coast for the past six months Hewas the
president of the North Texas University at
Paris for two years. and has been the
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at
TeXarkana. He expects to 90 to San
Leandro If he does not receive q call here.
lie reads his sermons with very pleasing
voice and mis- articulation is quite distinct.
His morning effort yesterday was a good
demonstration of his qualities of erudition
and powers OF illustration. 1t showed him
to be philosopher of no mean ability, too.
There were several unkind things said
by Mr.. Garniss of DIR. Hemphill, besides
what is contained in the expressions at
tributed to him. The sum of The whole
matter is that Mr.. Garniss has been Bit
terly disappointed and chagrined. DR..
Hemphill had drawn quite a number to
the church during his short stay, the in
crease being attracted by his qualities of
mind and manner and the church had
fondly based hopes OF speedy greatness
upon the popular pastor. His sudden cut
ling loose dashed all these bright eXpecta-
tons to earth. he did not resign, for he
had never accepted the call. Perhaps, as
MIR. Garniss intimates strongly enough, he
was simply awaiting his opportunity to
obtain the Calvary pulpit.
When | demonstrated with him about
leaving us in this way he said God was
leading him, but i told him God never led
man to do mean and contemplate act"
was one OF the ventings Of his feelings In
which Nh. Garniss INDUCED.

Mondays issue of the News and
Courier would prove, if we did not
know it from observation, that there
is life, active and energetic life in Char
lesion. More than half of the twelve
pages are devoted to q carefully pre-
pared and accurate review of the busi-
ness of the city for the year ending
August S1st, 1888. The total amount
was over seventy-fve million dollars
tS75, 126, ,4ss). which is SS,77s,s99 less
than,last year. This loss in the volume
of trade IS comparatively small, when
the stringency and shrinkage in busi-
ness everywhere has been SO apparent.
While the trade of Charleston has
fallen off $4,000, 900, the News and
Courier points to the significant COM
parison that the total trade of New
Orleans shows loss of s95, 5,000,0e0 in
the same period. Charleston has had
no failures, and with money now in
her banks, sheis on the way to retrieve
in 1884 the slight deficiency. and
gain more besides.
In the space Of six years, the News
and Courier has come up with bright
and cheerful face just after two great
calamities-August 81, 1886 and Au-
gust q, 1s93-and shown that Char
lesion is still doing business at the same
old stand. All praise and honor and
: ,sperity to Charleston!

BABY RUTH'S SISTER.
Has Had in Many Dsy-All the Coun-
try CoDgratulates the President.
WASHINGTON. DC Sentembe

WASHINGTON, D. c., September g.
Another girl baby was born to Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland to-day. The
birth Of baby in the White House was
of course an event in which more than
usual interest YVES felt. In an incredi-
bly, short space of time the news was
known to Congress and was spread
through all the departments. The
closest reticence was maint-ined at the
White House es to the event. The first
statement given out was that the event
took place at 2 p. m. Later it was per-
mitted to be known that the event oc-
CURED exactly at noon. The President
was informed OF the event by Dr.. Bry-
ant, but it is said did not mention it to
Private Secretary Thurber until p. N.
In the meantime the news had become
known outside, the first public mention
being made Of it in the War depart
menc.
The President absentcd himself from
his office shortly before IL o'clock and
remained anxious y awaiting a mes
sage. When informed by DR.. Bryant
and the professional nurse of Mrs.
Cleveland's safety he at once went to
his wife's chamber and two hours after
words quietly re-entercd his Office and
authorized Mr.. Thurber to confirm a
rumor which by this time was going all
over the city. The baby is a bright
eyed, healthy looking young lady.
She has not yet been weighed, but is
said to be of &C I'D size. This is the first
child born to President in the White
House, though there have been other
births In the executive mansion.

COUNSEL TO MBN 0FLARGB
AFFAIRS.

During such period of financial
disturbance as the present, you, find
it necessary to concentrate all your
talents and energies on the manage
ment of your af,irs.
You cannot safely delegate the
work to another.
At this time, any one else, no
matter what his ability, would be
unable to successfully conduct your
business, or protect your invest
mentsas we'll as you can.
But there . is a chance that yon
may at any moment be forced thus
to turn your affairs over to the
management of anotber-Damely,
in the event Of your death.
Remember, that executors often
think more about avoiding risks
and protecting themselves than of
carrying out the spirit Of the testa-
tors views. They generally lack
experience in the business they are
trying to wind up.
This inexperience and possible
lack of interest may cost 10 per
cent. or ID per ce Mt. of the value of
your estate, or more.
: You cannot but recognize the
truth of this statement; neverthe-
less, you can guard against this loss
by assuring your life for the amount
which in yourjudgment your execu-
tors would waste in winding up
your estate.
You can easily, by economizing
a little in your livingexpenses, pay
from your income the premium on
a policy for $4,000, or 100000,
issued by the strongest financial
institution of its kind in the world,

TIE COTTON CROP.
sRaport OF the Department Of Agriculture
A Low September Condition.

WASHINGTON. D. c., September o.
The September cotton repor, of the de-
partment of Agriculture shows a de-
cline from the August condition of'the
crop of full Z points, the average being
1874 this month, as against S0.4 last
month.
This is the lowest September condi-
ton since 1881, which stood at 20.
The condition IN September, 1892,
was 1858. For the same month in the
year 1891 snd 1892 it was S27 and 85.S,
res pectively.
The State averages are: Virginia, 93;
North Carolina,76; South Carolina, g.;
Georgia, II; Florida, IS; Alabama, IS;
Mississippi, 7S; Louisiana, 81; Texas,
63; Arkansas, 80; Tennessee, 81.
In addition to the unfavorable con-
ditions, among which the drought has
been prominent, the correspondents of
the department ascribe the falling off
in the condition of the crop to the raw
ages Of insects, enemies of the plant,
such as caterpillars and boil, army and
leaf worms. Dust, as cause of DAM
age, is also extensively noted.
The hurricane of August 9th caused
much damage to the crop in the States
of North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, and il a less degree in the
State of Florida.

rency to September 1st.

To the Editor OF The Herald and News:
The NOR hly statement Of the Treasury
department. as to the condition of the cur
rency, FOR September 1st., furnishes sew
eral remarkable and very encouraging
changes compared with that for August
1st', only one month earlier. For in
stance. it shows an increase of the gener-
al stock OF gold, coined or issued, of ST.
242, ,4es,-i. e.. from s52o,273,567, August
l, to $547,516,035,-Sept. l. It shows an
increase in actual circulation of gold coin
for the same period of $685. ,427,-i. e.,
from Sale, ,e09, 81, Aug. /, to s469, 1885,
36S,-Sept. l.
It also shows an increase in the general
stock of National Bank notes for same
period of SIS 5,225,221, i. e.; from $1S3, ,755,-
l47,-Aug. l, to S19S,SS9,368,-Sept l.
The increase in actual circulation of Ma
tionaf Bank notes for same period was
Sl5,687, ,784,-i. g., from S1S0,1:- -,9T,-
Aug. !, to S!e5,s22, ,781,-Sept. l. Be-
sides these two items OF increase, there
was also an increase in the circulation of
United States Notes (greenback,3 of over
81, ,000, 900; of standard silver dollars Of
over $5,000,00O, etc; while there was a
marked decrease in both gold and silver
certificates.
The net increase in the actual circula-
ion of the country during the single
month of August amounted to the nice lit
tie sum of $69, 1886 j. g., from $751;
O99Ol7-Aug, l, to $3.50, ,562 2671,-Sept..
/. The per capita increase for this period
was slightly over 81, being nova little
over S25, the largest in our history as a
ration. These are, be it remembered,
strictly official figures, issued By the
Treasury department at the head (which
stands that sterling Democrat, John G..
Carlisle.
And yet, in spite of these figures. which
every Congressman Can verify if he doubts
their correctness, we shall no doubt con-
tinue to hear from our Alliance orators
and organs the same old errors and false
hoods about the contraction OF the cur
rency, and the same abuse of our Nation
al Banks for the part they are alleged to
have in it. And yet, as we see, these
much maDgned National Banks have
given Us IN single month over $15,G00,-
600 increase in our circulation, and they
stand ready to give us ct once about $780,
100000 more, and that too without one
dollar of expense to the government, if
our silver fanatics and Ocala visionaries
wM only stop their senseless opposition
to the bill before Congress to allow them
to assure notes to the full face value of the
bonds deposited. CIvIs.
