DEATH OF Two NOTED MEN.
ANDREW G. CURTIN.
Pennsylvania's War Governor Passes
Peacefully Away.

At Bellefonte. Pa. Andrew Gregg Curtin,
the most famous OF all the war governors,
whose services to his country in the capacity
OF chief executive OF Pennsylvania during the
war OF the rebellion were most conspicuous,
breathed his last at 3 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing. after a lingering illness. The maiady
which ended his distinguished career was
founded in nervous arrangements, brought
on by mental strain in connection with bis
business interests. and complicated by
the in1rmities Of old age. He was ~ years
old on the 22d OF last April. fall on the
Ice last winter involved troubles from
which he never entirely recovered, ana
during the extreme heat OF last summer
chronic stomach troubles were aggregated by
the weather. All this helped TO hasten the
end. although hts final sickness confined him
to bed only four days prior to his death.
Three physicians have been In constant at
tendance. Dr. George T. Harris Is his son-in-
law, and he has been associated with Doctors
Fairlamb and Dobbins in assiduous attend
ance upon him. During the twelve hours
preceding his death the patient was uncon-
sious and the great change came 40 quickly
and peacefully that only the suspension OF
respiration and the stilling OF his heart
marked the difference between the sleep OF
life and death. The members OF his immediate
family were all beside the dcathbed when he

Japan publishes periodically what
may bo called blue book, embodying
the statistics OF the Empire, and show.
ing its progress in population, com.
merce, manufactures, education and
other directions That for the year
1892, just issued, is full of interesting
information, aud exhibits gratifying
evidence of the prosperity of the
country since its adoption of Western
usages in government and administra.
tion. The population of the islands is
little over l,000,0 900, the gain since
1882 being 1, iO0,O 900. There are III
towns, having from 10000 to 1000
inhabitants; thirty-six which have
over 30, 900; six which have over 100,
600, and three, Toxic, Osaka and
Kioto, which have over 100000. The
statistics of emigration show that the
largest number of the expatriated go
to the Sandwich Islands, and the next
largest TO the United States. But the
outiiowing volume of the population
is not large, only about 20, 900 for the
year mentioned, showing a moderate
increase over preceding years. The
whole number of japanese resident
abroad is little less than 40, 600; ex.
ports increased three-fold in the ten
years preceding 1892, in which year
they were trihe less than 800, 000,-
900, and imports about SO, 900, 900.
We buy more of Japan than any other
nation buys, our bills in good years
amounting to something like $40, 900,
900; but England commands the bull
of her import trade, q condition which
may be changed as time goes on.
