The following letter is from Mr..
Robert Lawhon to his father, Mr..
r. E. Lawhon, OF Marietta:
/. U. S. Ship Marblehead-Smyrna,
Turkey, April 27, '95.-Dear Fath>
er.-When wrote you last we were
at Beyrout, on the coast of Syria,
not far from the port of old Pales-
tine, where Jerusalem, the Dead
Sea, the river Jordan, Nazareth,
the birthplace Of Christ, and many
of those places familiar to all Bible
readers, are located. It is the sea-
port for the city Of Damascus. We
were sent there to investigate the
persecution of the Armenian Chris
tians by the Turks, which does not
seem to be near so bad as first re-
ported.
We arrived bere yesterday and
we leave to morrow at noon to visit
the following places: Athens,
Greece; Naples, Italy; Algiers,
Africa Gibraltar, Spain Lisbon,
Portugal; Southampton, England.
We then go to some port on the
coast of Denmark to clean up and
paint the ship, and then go to Kiel,
Germany, to take part in big
naval display at the opening Of a
canal between the Baltic and North
Sea, about the middle of June.
met our U. s. Consul, Z. R.
Gibson, who is a Georgian, of Au-
gusta, who made inquiry about
friends in Marietta, especially Mr..
Joseph M. Brown, whose wife was
an Augusta lady. He says he
would like to be among the red hills
of Georgia, and that Marietta is one
OF the prettiest places in the State.
kindest regards to all enquiring
friends.
AffectionateIy your son,

A Cleveland, Ohio, man died a

act as a warning. The deceased
had been writing to his family tell
ing them OF the successful conclusion
OF some business negotia tions, and,
in sealing the envelope, accidental>
~ cut his tongue on the sharp edge.
The mishap seemed to be such a
trifling ons that he paid little at
tention, to it. In few hours, how
ever, his tongue began to swell.
The pain, which at first was conSn,
ed merely to the small abrasion Of
the membrane, spread and increas-
ed in intensity uRtil the unfortunate
man fairly writhed in agony. Blood
poisoning had set in and, although
the best of medical talent was Sc
cured, it had gone too far in its fatal
work. Within t~enty-tour hours
no was dead. His suffarings in the
meantime were terrible. Thorough,
ly conscious, he was unable to speak
owing to the terrible swelling Of the
tongue. 1t became so large that il
protruded from his mouth.

The leaders IN activity were st. Paul,

were favorably effected by generally frac-

RECENT CONSULAR REPORTS
Consumption of American Canned Heats
Falling Off en- Account of the Price.
Apples Bring Good Prices

The markets for United States prod
ucts in Great Britain are reviewed in de-
tail in recent consular reports as follows:
Cattle from this country are reported
from Liverpool as superior to the native
cattle, but sheep from the United States
and other countries do not compare IA
vorably with the British. Large guam
titles of apples are received from various
countries in Europe. but American ap-
pies command the highest prices. Forty
five per cent of the wheat and 80 per cent
of the flour in the Liverpool consular
district come from the Unit I'd States.
Consumers depend to a large extent on
the importation of bacon and hams, prin-
cipally from the United States and Can
ada. The strongest objection made by
the Liverpool trade to hog meats packed
in the Unitsd States is that of insufficient
curing. The consumption of American
canned meats IS falling off, and that OF
Australia increasing, due largely to the
relatively high prices OF American goods
Consul Morse, at Glasgow, reports that
over So per cent of the whole wheat sup
ply there is imported from this country.
The United States also leads in the ex-
portation of Indian corn, flour, starch
and hams. In canned goods for Belfast
the United States has no competitor. The
charge is made that the American ham
is too heavy and the meat too rich. The
reputation of American lard is also at a
discount. il being asserted it is tam
pered with on beth sides OF the Atlantic.
Merchants at Belfast bitterly complain OF
the alleged deception Of the Az e!:icsn
shippers of apples, and the Canadian APP
pies are accordingly growing in popular
ity.
The flaxseed trade of the United States
with Great Britain is reported as very
seriously affected by rreg wssign's OIL
