VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. 1.-The pro-
vincial police have not received any
official intimation OF the mysterious
killing of William McGarrie at Shoo-
shartie on New Years day. The case is
a strange one, all the circumstances
present known pointing to a deliberate
and cowardly murder. The location OF
the bullet wounds in the back of the
head indicates that McGsrrie was shot,
not in fair fight but from behind.
AN ADVENTUROUS CAREER.
McGarrie was one of the best known
characters on the coast. and was a fire.
qusnt and welcome guest of every In
died tribe from Queen Charlotte to
Beechey bay. Few have had more
adventurous career or occupied wider
stage of action. He was born in East
Saginaw So years ago and at Woodstock,
Ont. made his frat appearance as q
rider of race horses. his lame as q Jockey

in America.

Following the big races McGarris
soon developed into an ali around sport,
and when he reached California in the
early fifties was already famous as q
card sharp as we'll AZ q race operator.
Then New Mexico was his home. while
he made frequent stage robbing excurs-

After this McGarris returned to San
Francisco and for time dealt faro for

quently sent to British Columbia to
work the steamers plying ON the Frazer

wrecks along the shore. Then he re-
moved to this province where, during
the past few years, he has been known as
daring smuggler, guide. trspper. timber
cruiser and storskeeper. head of the
Nawhite Indians and proprietor Of q
fine ranch on Hope island.
The theory formed by his friends in
connection with his death is that he
became involved in quarrel with some
of the whisky smugglers who frequently
visited his store and was shot by them
in revenge.

New York, Jan. 1.-The remains OF
Mrs. VIM. Waldorf Astor will be borne
10 the tomb tomorrow. New York will
not often witness such obsequies as
those promise to be. From every walk
In lie mourners will come. Repre-
sentatives OF that society ia which she
reigned, and the poor to whom she
poured out bounteous charity. will
'mingle their grief at her coffin.
CONSPICUOUS SIMPLICITY,
Simplicity will mark the last rites. az
the bereaved husband has made known
his wish to have everything connected
with the occasion as unostentatious ca
possible. The services will be publis
only few pews being reserved for
members of the family and intimate
friends. All the rest OF the church will
be open to those who wish to show
their respect for the memory OF the
dead woman. There will be famous
vocalists to cling such hymns as are
usual on such occasions, while the full
regular choir Of Trinity church chapel
will alone interpret the funeral music.
FLORAL TRIBUTES.
Almost buried in flowers, which friends
had sent, the casket of Mrs. Astor
rested in the mortuary chapel today.
The plain mahogany could scarcely be
made out. All through the day floral
tributes we're arriving at the chapel.
Many of these gifts were from members
OF the English aristocfacy. who had
cabled directions. But not all of the
flowers were costly and magnificent.
Many were modest little punches,
showing that the donors were people in
poor circumstances. All were arranged
in the chapel without regard to beauty
or apparent cost.
THE NEwsBoYs' GIFT.
Only one gift was accorded special
favor. This was wreath OF Ascension
lilies which the newsboys had given.
By Mr.. Astor's orders it reposed upon
the coffin.
The funeral will be deserted by a
portion of her own family. 1t is almost
certain neither John Jacob Astor nor
any member of his family will be
present. His mother. Mrs. Will
liam Astor. may attend, but Ii
ia not probable she will. There
is. however, possibility. Mrs. Astor
tonight cancelled a dinner engagement
she had made and will not go to the
opera tomorrow evening. As if to make
up for the apparent Indifference which
it had shown, society was assiduous in
its attentions to the dead today.
There was host of callers ct the
chapel.

CHICAGO, Jan. IL. - Ex-Postm aster
Corning S. Judd, one OF the best known
men in the west. has become veritable
ossifed man. His preaent condition is
the outcome OF an attack OF rheumatism
in 1885. Now, with the exception oil
tbs joints in the pelvic region, Judd's
body ia in an ossifed condition and hs
has lost all use OF his arms and legs.
STRANGE CASE.
Judd's physician says he is unable to
designate the affl ction, as nothing like
it has ever been recorded. Judd's
mental powers are undim med and his
intellect ss sharp and brilliant as ever.
He eats heartily three times day and
elishss his food, but from q man OF
robust physique he has dwindled to a
skeleton weighing 80 pounds.
BEGAN WITH RHEUMATISM.
The trouble began in the form Of rheu-
matism, in which the muriate OF soda
in the system WAS diverted in some
manner from it's natural channels and
deposited at the Joints. where 1t caused
an enlargement and stiffsning, produc-
ing effects similar to ossification.
GREAT APPETITE.
One surprising feature of the case is
the patients great emsciation, while his
appetite is abnormslly large. He eats
more every day than many men who are
laboring hard at outdoor work. Morn
ing, noon and night he insists upon hav-
ing heavy meals of meats. eggs and veg
etables, and is not satisfied with lees
than two oups of coffee. Notwithstand-
ing these feeds he is daily growing
thinner.

The Bicycle In Warfare,

Following close upon the convention of
military wheelmen held in New York few
days ago, the statements contained in the
annual report Of Gen. Greedy, the chief
signal officer of the army, published in
The Star today, relative to the use of the
bicycle in military operations are of in
terest. Gen. Greedy shows that the bicycle
has been demonstrated to be far more
effective than any other agency In repair
ing telegraph lines. and he points out some
very practical results from the systematic
use OF the wheel in his own service, which
foreshadow a great field of usefulness for
this modern implement of warfare. Actual
experience, he says. has demonstrated that
a broken telegraph line can be repaired
cheaper and more quickly by flying corps
of linemen on bicycles than by any other
means and he strongly recommends an ex-
tension of the varied uses to which the
wheel can be put In military service. A
very few years ago the military wheeling
companies attached to the various organi-
cations of militiamen throughout the coun-
try were rather ornamental than practical,
but in view Of the representations made at
the convention in New York last week this
period seems to be past, and 1t would not
be surprising ere long to see Congress max
ing provision In the annual appropriations
for considerable equipments of this sort.
To produce the best results in this line the
roads of the country must be improved so
as to insure the greatest possible return
from the use Of the wheels, and perhaps 1t
Is well that the government has at last
taken official cognizance of the value Of the
bicycle. for by this means some steps may
be taken to make the highways of America
as good as those of Europe

from excessive conservatism as well as
from too much liberality. Soon the middle
ground Of tolerance will be reached and
this spasm Of agitated sentiment will be
quoted. No one can now foretell the net
result of the present ebullition. That some
change In the rules by which feminine
apparel Is regulated will be brought about
is probable. Rev. Elsom and his fellows to
the contrary Notwithstanding; but in all
this no marked alteration in the disposition
and characters of the worlds wives, daugh-
tiers. sisters and sweethearts Is likely to be
produced. Meanwhile the pioneers of the
new movement. like all advanced workers
and thinkers. may be scorned and casti-
gated, libelled and reviled and the appel
lation of "man-ape" will be echoed in a
thousand variations from many intolerant
Threats. The fact is womanknd has been
far from keeping up with the general ad-
vancement. 1t is only during the last few
years-comparatively very few years indeed
that she has been admitted to any sort of
equality with man in business. in the pro-
fessions. art and science. even in the social
relations. 1t must not be a cause for
wonder, then, If in the present burst of
enterprise the newer woman In some cases
oversteps even advanced lines of tolerance.
When a great force Is suddenly released it
becomes impetuous for a time.
