They Stood the Loss.

BY mistake of the compositor Messrs.
Robinson, Cherry & Co., of Twelfth and
streets. were made to say in their adver-
tisement in The Times of yesterday that
their Dunlap and Youmans blocks, spring
Derbys Were 81 90 and $500, when they
are really So. 90, and while they lost money
on each sale, they lived up to the letter Of
their advertisement and sold every one who
came for them at the advertised price.
Messrs Robinson, Cherry & Co say that
as long as they are in business they will
always do just as they advertise, but that
they must ask to he excused from selling
any more $500 Derbys at $1.00 or 81 90.
1t was an error they were not responsible
for, but it shows the character of the firm
in selling goods at positive loss rather
| than disappoint the readers OF their adyer
tisanant.

JAPAN TRUSTS Ii HUNG CHANG.
His Promise of Settlement Will Pave the
Way to Cessation of War.

Ii Hung Chang's arrival in Japan is re-
garded in official circles as one of the most
significant international events of recent
days.
1t is the first time in his life that the
venerable statesman of China has set foot
outside of Chinese soil.
AT his advanced age he now journeys to
China's traditional foe to offer enormous
concessions as a means OF securing peace.
Count Ito, one of the two Japanese envoys,
is close personal friend of Ii Hung Chang,
the two having settled the Corean trouble of
1886.
SO great is the Japanese confidence in
the integrity of Ii and his ability to see that
China carries out an agreement, that his
promises of q settlement will probably pave
the way to a speedy cessation of the war.

BLOODY MINDED LUNATIC.

He Leaves a Curious Package the
Roadside In AuburndaIe.
A crazy man who imagines that he is
Jesus Christ and has been delegated to
kill all the men, women, and children
in America, created some alarm in
Auburndale last evening.
woman living on the street leading
directly to the asylum, who refused to
tell the police her name, found d small
package. She was alighting from a car
rage when her foot struck what looked
like a round, smooth rock somewhat
larger then an egg. The article seemed
to be made of wax and was partly crush
ed under her weight.
Picking it up the woman found that it
contained writing. The stationery used
was the margins of newspapers,
on which threats were written
in a cramped hand. The first sentence
she saw was something about killing
people and she jumped to the conclu-
clusiOn that the article which she had
found was an Internal machine. The
woman again got into the buggy and
was driven to the police headq uarters,
where she turned the internal machine
over to Sergeant Donovan.
The police examined the odd package.
It was thickly coated with wax and con-
tanned several hundred separate pieces
OF paper. 6ome OF them were exceed
ingly small and contained only a few
words, while others were longer. Several
long slips contained only the words,
