were admitted to the very bedside OF
the patient, proceeding utterly at
variance with Chinese tradition. The
treatment was successful. Several
years later Lady Ii became mortally
i'll and the doctors couldn't save her.
At this the old school friends Of the
viceroy raised great outcry and
brought almost resistless influence to
bear on him. But ne was as firm as a
rock and continued to believe in west
ern medicine. They cured him Of par
alysis by electricity, and even to-day
he takes almost boyish delight in the
use of the galvanic battery, which he
declares more exhilarating than cham
pagne. He has esta blished fine dis

Probably he is not person of very
easy access to the stranger, busy as
he is with official affairs
"Any foreigner of note can always
get an appointment for reception at

viceroy has the keenest intellectual
curiosity / ever knew, and takes de-
light in swapping opinions, as 1 be-
lieve the Americanism is now, with
able minds, especially those who can
offer fresh point Of view. This is
saying much when You think of the
tremendous pressure of work on him,
which encroaches on every minute of
time. Why. it is a common thing for
him to arouse his official household
and plunge into work at two a. m.,
three or four hours before sunrise. He
is man of iron, almost tireless in
body and brain. In addition to affairs
OF state and the local affairs of the
province, he is continually called out
to review troops, inspect ships, ship
yards and arsenals, and watch thou

II presume the viceroy is a man of
large wealth, as it is said that high
officials in China have every opportl.-
nifty of squeezing those below them"
well, it is true that the Tammany
view Of Office prevails largely even
among the highest mandarins. t
couldn't be otherwise. Fixed salnrien
are very small. Officials of all ranks
are out there living by fees and emolu
ments and if public funds sometimes
diminish in transit. it is winkcd at by
the Pelking authorities, as long as the
leakage is not excessive. This has
been the immemorial habit, and it is
not looked on in China as in other
parts of the world. Many of the man

erhty miles from Peking. Ii avoids,
however, going thither except when
he is compelled. Tientsin itself is a
place of nearly one million people and
the center of an immense foreign
trade"
His function, then, is not exactly
that of the minister of foreign afairs
in Europe?"
'No. He mainly prepares business,
puts it in shape for the imperial coun-
Gil Of Tsing-li-Tamun to act ON; but
his views have tremendous weight, for
he is looked on as the ablest and most
experienced statesman of the empire,
both in foreign and domestic affa irs. :"
Does he deal largely with domestic
questions aside from provincial mat
ters? To take care of his province and
do the work of a grand secretary of
state should be enough for one man. :"
"Viceroy Ii does the work of dozen
men. lie is also the superintendent of
trade of North China, director general
of the coast defense of the north. ad-
ministrator Of the imperial navy and
North China. These functions are not
merely nominal, but he exercises active
and critical charge. There is scarcely
anything which escapes his eye. and
those who blunder or neglect duty are
quickly called to book. Probably no
western statesman works half as hard,
but he has an extraordinary capacity
for business
viii you give me sketch of his ap-
pearance and manner? One likes to

In the FIRST place, he is an old man
nearly seventy-four years of age His
person is tall and bulky, and. when a
young man, he must have had great
physical strength. He is of native
Chinese descent, md this has some
times been made handle by his enc
mics, who have tried to discredit him
as disloyal to the Manchu govern

very much wr;nkled. His eyes are

He dresses in plain rich garments of

averse to any poup or stew except our

with Gen. Grant, of whom he was a

GHOSTS AT HAMPTON COURT.

Perhaps 1t Is Anne BoIeyn in Search Of
Henry VIII.
The ghosts at Hampton Court palace
still are said to frighten the inhab-
ftants and officials of the place, and
even visitors, it is declared, are not
exempt. several of them having terrni-
mated their visits abruptly owing to
the noises they have heard. A resident
In the palace sends to the London
Daily Graphic an account of an appari-
tion seen by an attendant in the gar
dens, who was sitting on bench wait
Ing for the inspector to pass on his
rounds at night, when suddenly he felt
hand laid upon his face, and, looking
up, saw a tall, pale lady, dressed in
gray He sprang up at once, but she
vanished before his eyes. and the
shock caused by the apparition was so
great that he had to resign his post
He became SO nervous that he was ab-
solutely afraid TO remain in the gar
dens at night.
Nor are the ghosts confined to the
gardens, for few nights ago two of
the maid servants, fancying they smelt
something burning, went down one of
the staircases in the middle of the
night and met tall, pale lady with "a
reflected light on her face" and dressed
IN black She, too, vanished through
one of the queens gates, though the
door itself was shut, and no footsteps
could be heard. Other servants in the
palace have been visited by these royal
ghosts. One servant declares that she
felt something come and touch her
face In the dark when she was asleep
In bed, and another maid sleeping in
the next room called out to her to
leave Off walking about her room" as
she heard footsteps moving about.
Several visitors to the palace have no.
ticed extraordinary noises in a partic-
ular room, and only few months ago
two ladies were standing talking near
this room at about half-past eleven
one night when they heard a loud
crash and saw a brilliant ligh5 flash
through the room, sight which they
could not account for in any way. The
Graphic's informant is positive that no
practical joker is the author of the dis
turbances, as has been suggested in
Dome quarters.

you can sec why he is regarded among
US as the beau ideal of honor and in
tegrity."

into great prominence" Ii gradual
" arose from honor to honor as he be-
came known as man of consummate
ability both in the field and in the
council. AT the close OF the TAPPING
rebellion, which lasted about fifteen
years, Ii had already signalized him
self as the most important actor on the
stage. Gordon was directly under his
command in the wonderful campaign,
which wound up the whole disastrous
business The vieeroy is almost as
brilliant soldier as lie is statesman,
though he is essentially pacific in his
ideas OF public policy. He specially
admired Gen. Grant, because. though
a great soldier, he was such lover of
peace"

ments, and make concessions rather
than fight. or,as Americans would say,

account of one of his many escapes.
During the troubles in 1883, think.
he was surprised and captured by the
marauding Beers and taken to their
headquarters at Rool Grond, near
Mafeking. He was condemned to bo
shot on the following day and was
fastened with ropes inside hut at
some distance from the camp FIRE.
During the night he slipped his
bonds, crept to the place where the
Boer horses were stabbed. saddled and

and made his escape from under the
very noses of the Dutchmen.
A day or two afterward he met .

with him. who informed him that he
was looking for "Scotty" Smith.

They rode together for some hsurs,
and then Scotty found an opportunity,

DEATH BY LIGHTNING,
It Is Duo to an Absorption of the Wit.
Electric Fluid.

It In Duo to an Absorption of the Vital
Electric Fluid.
Is The phenomenon of lightning is the
signal that announces the coming TO-
gether of different electric currents in
the restoration of equilibrium. All
Efe is electricity, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch The stomach is a reren-
orator, the brain is a battery. When
one is killed by lightning, death is due
to an absorption-to a loss of this vital
fluid or whatever ii may be termed,
that impols the physical engine. A
thundercloud is charged with positive
electricity, the earth below it is
charged negatively. Any object be-
low this cloud is similarly charged
with this negative current A dis
charge from above takes place. the
currents meet, ignition ersues. the ex
panslon OF the gases produces a
vacuum, the air comes together again
with a report, and this is thunder.
A late view ia when one animate oh.
ject is struck dead by lightning that
the upward and not the downward
current is the agent. The fact that no
bird on the wing has been known to
be killed by lightning is not conclusive
in sustaining this later view of the
method of lightning in producing
death.
When tree is thus struck the sod is
frequently lifted away from the roots
IN such manner as to indicate the
downward passage of the stroke.
On the evening of the Saw1nill Run
disaster the writer observed an elec-
trio discharge strike a tall walnut tree
with dead top and the zigzag plainly
came from above downward and the
contact generated cloud of blush
smoke, and only at the extreme top of
the tree.
This new idea relating to death by
lightning may be held in allegiance un-

they throw light on the personality
