regarding the imprisonment of a China
man in the Chinese legation is confirmed.
though there are various reports of the
manner in which the arrest was made.
Sir Halliday Mccartney the counsellor of
the Chinese legation, protests strongly
against the statement that the man was
captured in the street, He was not even
induced to visit the legation" said Sir
Halliday, but came there Of his own ac-
cord more than once, believing that he
would not be recognized, with view to
spying on the officials there. He was
recognized and arrested" Mr.. Mccartney
claims that the man is a Chinese subject,
but the mans friends in London claim
that he is II British subject. He has means
of communicating with his friends, and
he has conveyed to them the intelligence
that he fears that he will be poisoned or
starved to death

cheers for Bryan from a line of about a
hundred men formed in the standing

Macedonia News.

DEAR BEACON 1t is with gratitude
that can inform you hat our citizens
are in good health and mercury has gone
down so as to admonish us to ~replenish
our wood piles, in order to warm up our
houses. We have had two hard frosts.
Before they struck us and since the rain
cotton had assumed new life and was
putting forth vigorous efforts for a new
crop, blooming as in mid summer, but.
alas the frost has taught us the lesson,
that II efforts to do good must be COM
menced in time to mature before the
frost of adversely overtakes us and
blights our intention of well doing.
The Macedonia school bell has broken
the long silence and the vacation that
our children have enjoyed, calling them
again from their rural rambles, to the
school room, there to engage in study
for another term. May their little minds
expand and take in such knowledge as
will guide them safely through life to
that goal which is only worthy of our
attainment.
Miss lnez Boyle is in charge of our
school. She seems to be a favorite with
the children. She promptly fell into
line with those engaged in Sabbath
school. May her efforts to do good in
this line be instrumental in raising the
moral standard by which we must all be
measured up in order to hear that vel
come plaudit, well DONE
Leap Year, or the year set apart for
ladies to direct Cupid's warfare, is fast
ebbing away. Hymeneal victims, yield
ing to her dictum, seem few and far a
part. We hope,- however, some plan
yet undeyeloped may have been made,
which may ere long lead some willing
victim to Hymen's altar. Our present
teacher had better look out. She is in
an enviable position for this reason
Her predecessor, Miss Eva, after hav-
ing successfully governed our school for
three years, was induced to lay down
her Commanding dictum of. The schoA
room and accept the higher sphere of
presiding over the domestic happiness
of n who had long sought this object.
May their cherished hopes be realized.
l will say nothing now about our po-
litical status, but simply serve notice
that danger signals should be hung out
in such characters that the wayfaring
