ALCOHOLISM Killed HIM.
Alvin Morse OF Detroit Fell Dead in a fit OF
Drunken Rage.

PitrsrirLp. July The Advertiser
says: Alvin Morse dropped dead at the
town farm Tuesday aft rnoon. 1t seems
that l.e hal been 10 an adjoining town. pro-
viici himself with plenty of liquor and be
came deeply intoxicated.
After several mishsps on his way home
he finally reached the town farm, drove
into the yard AMI WAS again spilled out ut
the carriage. Soon he went into the house
and drank pint or so of alcohol which he
had with him. This appeared to frenzy
him and he attacked James Houston, man
ager of the farm. After a seattle MIR.
Houston got away from him and went into
the house and fastened the door. Morse
followed and attempted to force the door
open, in wild exhibition of rage. All at
once he fell back dead.
Coroner Parks and County Attorney
Ilovpv of Pittsfied were notified of the oc-
currence yesterday morning and with Drs.
Pusbor and Griffin and the Advertiser man,
went 10 the scene of the disturbance in the
afternoon. After a careful external exam
ination of the remains. the physicians re
ported no indications of foul play, it being
plain that heart failure bad resulted from
alcoholism Coroner Parks deemed m IN
quest unnecessary. No blame can he at
tached to Houston for his action at the time
of Morse's death.
Morse lived near the scene of his death
and leaves a wife and one child.

MISSIONARY METHODS.
Scandinavian Teachers in China Bringing
Peril Upon Themselves.

SAN FRANcisco, July Some light is
thrown by China newspapers just received, :,
on the murder of two Swedish missionaries
not far from IIankol reported Monday by
cable from Hong Kong.
A letter from Pekin in the Hong Kong
China Mail, received by steamer, says that
trouble may soon be expected along the
Yangste, as the scandinavian mission.
which has its headquarters in the United
States, persists in sending raw recruits TO
remote stations.
These men and women are frequently
uncducated, and speak no language but
their own. They find great difficulty
i, learning Chinese, and being ignorant OF
the customs of the country they often in
dulge in practices that cause great offence
some of the female missionaries emulate
the Salvation Army, and go upon the street
to sing songs. The Chinese regard such
women as outcasts.
Recently in aremote interior town party
of such women were set upon and mohb"d.
An old member of another mission t'led to
rescue them and narrowly escaped with his
life. The correspondent suggests that
every missionary society represented IN
China should send resolutions on the sub
ject to the New York headquarters of this
Scandinavian mission, urging better m TIL
ods in mission work in China, as under The
present system their representatives br'ng
all missionaries into contempt, and add to
the Chinese popular hatred of foreigners.

There are many other industries which
we have not seen yet, and having finished
cur luncheon and heard the music and
singing We pass ON to see Mary Pagan
make torchon lace on . pillow. and to
watch Mary Cosgrove doing her pretty en-
, broidery. The latter is from Bagnais-
town, where Mrs. Edward Ponsonby has
founded school for the teaching Of this

old-fashioned furniture and open roof, .

Now we have come to Biarney castle.
There is no additional admission fee, as
there would be in any Of the purely specu-
latiye show-villages which possessed such
an attraction. We walk up and around
the spiral stairway a seemingly intermina-
bic hight, and finally emerge on the roof
overlooking the battlements Of the castle
and 'all Ireland" spread out below. At
one side q green rug has been thrown down
on the floor, and there, set low and deep
in the white wall of the castle we see
small, dark stone. about as big AS mans
head. 1t is a piece of the genuine old blar-
ney stene, famous in song and story. BY
its side sits a small Irish lad, clad in cor
duroy homespun, and his business it is to
receive the dimes Of the visitors who may
wish to kiss the stone. He Is a glum little
fellow, who evidently has been chaffed SO
much, and compelled to answer SO many
questions, that he is tired. He has little
to say, but is always ready to receive the
bright silver pieces, and a steady stream
of the white metal passes through his
eager fingers into his green-lined pockets
Over the blarney stone is an inscription
which reads:

HAVANA, July 7.-Operations among the
b igands have suddenly become active. not
withstanding that the ''Gabinete Part'cu-
lar" with its staff of officers, was rstab-
lished at great expense for the sole object of
suppressing these Robin Hoods, who for =
long time have defied all efforts to capture
ten.
Sunday morning last at 6 o'clock two
mounted brigands visited the home of Don
Pedro Olivia, situated at Salacios, in The
district of San Domingo, on the roai to
Santa Cruz de los Pinos and carried of his
son, boy Of 6 years, demanding as a ran
som $1,000
This il one of the boldest acts of the nut

recognized and met ith no hindrance from
any of the people on the place, although the
BOYS uncle was present, having arrived
only half hour previous to the bandits. to
whom he gave up his knife and macbete
without any resistance.
As soon as the governor OF the district
was notified of the presence of the bandits
the whole disposable force of soldiers was
sent in search of them. but so far the hoy
has not been found. No doubt there are q
number Of persons working with the out
laws. expecting TO share in their plunder.

WOULD NOT LEAVE MS SNIP,
An Unwritten Rule Which British Naval 06i-
GERS Feel lmpsiied 10 Obey.

Nsw YoaK, July THE action of Vice
Admiral Tryon in refusing to leave the
bridge of the Victoria while there was a
chance is being compared by military men
in this city vi ith the action Of Brig. Gen.
George A. Custer at the Big ilorA massa-
ere.
According to generally accepted facts, an
portunty was offered Caster by \ govern
mcnt Indian scout TO cut his way out. Gus
ter refused the profered Brule blanket and
hesddress and remained to die with his
men.
Instances are many in the British navy of
captains of wsrships preferring TO go down
" it'll their ships in preference to outiiving
them. 1t is an old practice in the British
navy, and one which practically amounts
to rule that the captain who loses a ship
never obtains second one.
The belief among many American ON
GERS is that Tryon was fully imbued with
the seamans idea of the duty OF c0mman-
der, and knowing that hundreds OF men
were imprisoned below decks, calmly de-
cided to go down with the ship so long as a
man aboard had to die as the result of car
r, ing out orders given by him during the
man1uring.
At the United States Naval acadeny q
monument in the centre of the grounds
stands today with the name "llerndon on
its face. Herndon was an American naval
officer who, before the civil war, WAS en-
gagged while on furlough in the command OF
mail steamer plying between New York
and the West Indies. The ship WAS lost in
the Gulf Stream. off the Florida coast
She carried y large number of passcn-
gers at the time. The majority Of the pas
sengers IIerndon saw safely placed in the
boats. The last boat waited for lIerndon
to jump in. Instead of avsiling himself OF
the opportunity, Herndon ordered the boat
to cast OF. The ship went down with
Hcrndon in his naval uniform standing
alone and in full view on the bridge.
