The LATE Mr.. DEvAUGHN.-The
remains of Mr.. w. F. DevaughD, whose
mysterious drowning near Baltimore
was mentioned in yesterdays GAZETTE,
were brought this city last night: The
funeral took place at 9 O'Clock this
morning from the residence of his
father-in-law, Mr.. George s. Coleman,
corner of St. Asaph ana Princess
streets. The drowning seems to be as
much of a mystery as ever. Alexander
Williams. the man who discovered the
body, was walking along the shore of
Curtis Bay Wednesday morning when
his attention was attracted to a body
floating on the water. The corpse was
entirely nude, and appeared SO natural
that at first the man thought it was
only man in swimming. Finally, as
the body did not give any manifesto.
ton of life, he raised sn alarm. A
rescue party was formed, and the body
was towed to shore. A short distance
away the clothes of the dead man were
found, neatly piled on the shore. 1t is
not known whether he was in bathing
when he was drowned or whether ne
intended to take his life, but some of
his intimate friends incline to the belief
that the affair was no accident. Of late
business has been poor with the wine
company, which fact had had q bad eft
feet on Mr.. Devaughn, and he has been
respondent. Although he never gave
any indication of his intention to COM
nit suicide, soma such action was fear
ed by his family when they noticed his
long absence. Others, however, in
Guiding the members Of his immediate
family, incline to the belief that Mi.
Devaugbn was in bathing and was
suddenly seized with cramps and
drowned. They are confident of this
on account of the lonesomeness of the
place where his clothes were found.

A SAD MIscARRIAGE.-A gentleman
living in the southeastern section of
the city returned home night or two
ago at an hour rather unsafe for bis
domestic peace, and seeing the hands
of the clock were making toward the
hour of midnight he concluded to
play trick upon those who he knew
were awake keeping vigils for his re-
turn. He crept up to the faithful time
piece and turned the hands back to
the figures indicating eleven, in hopes
that that number of strokes would fol-
low and he would be safe. Instead of
doing so, however, the striking appar-
atus, upon being thus tempered with,
pealed forth one, which was heard all
over house and which caused the other
inmates to believe the belated benedict
had remained out until that wee sma'
hour.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1895-10-11

Consul Troup of Yokohama sends to
the foreign Office an interesting report
on Japanese trade during the past year.
The significant feature of his statistics
and observations is the growth of the
imports Of raw materials, showing that
Japan is becoming more and more
manufacturing and consequently an ex-
porting country. She is nevertheless q
good customer of ours, her business with
Great Britain and its dependencies
amounting to nearly Is, 100000 and
evincing tendency to increase. In ad-
dition to the numerous articles Japan
makes for herself and others, she has
recently taken to manufacture iron
pipes and electrical appliances. 1t is
thought she will be able to turn out the
whole of the so, 900 tons Of piping re-
quired for the completion of the Tokyo
waterworks. She manufactures her own
dynamos, and the telephones used are
all of native fabrication. -Ryland's Iron
Trade Circular

Fairy Stories.

Some girls put away their dolls and
their fairy books long before they wish to
give them up because some one says,
"You are too old for such things" That
Is all nonsense. There are genuine fairy
stories with no hint of moral which are
the delight of every one who loves good
literature. The word love Is used purpose
ly instead of like, for those of us who love
literature feel that the characters are real,
and many of them are cherished friends.
The next time you long for fairy stories
and fear that you will be laughed at 90 to
the library and get Hawthorne's Wonder
Book" Read 1t in full sight of those who
condemn fairy tales. Coax them to look
into It. You will probably not be allowed
to have 1t again for a long time-not till
the one who took IL has read IL at least
twice over. Brooklyn Eagle

Helpless sa His Back In the Hands -
Foreign Nurses.


Uncle Sam is in the same tender and
considerable hands during the period Of
his financial convalesence as in the
height of the fever five months ago. A
slight indisposition caused by the loss
of $4,000. 900 gold has now been over
come by a deposit Of an equal amount
of the metal in the treasury by the bond
syndicate in exchange for the legal ten
ders ON which the other gold was drawn
ont. But the doctors and nurses have
been we'll paid and Uncle Sam need not
feel too proud to accept little extra
help from the present guardians OF his
interest. He may not enjoy the sensa-
ton of being stretched helpless on his
