Out of the 1885, 900 boxes of Beggs'
German Salve sold in 1895, only three
boxes were returned as unsatisfactory.
This seems almost incredible, as every
box has a positive guarantee accom-
panying it. Hackley sells it. If

dred houses built of stone and belong
ing to twoifamilies and Tang. It
is locatedS on a side hill facing the
south, so being open to the south mon
soon. The beautiful banyan trees
compensated in a measure for the
maple, oak and elm trees of Wisconsin
which we have missed in this island.
On the upland fields around the village
peanuts, indigo, sweet potatoes and a
few other vegetables are raised, while
the lowlands are carpeted with beauti-
full waving fields of rice.
We were put into the best house in
the place, out you would scarcely ap-
preciate that antil you had been around
to see the tumble down state of the
rest. These houses have no windows;
little piece of glass 3x6 inches in the
roof gave us ray of light by which we
discovered the bedboards and three
chairs. The floor of earth had been
swept clean and we made ourselves
comfortable in very short time. Our
riding habits were exchanged for the
long loose coat and trousers worn by
Chinese women.
The eight days we spent with those
simple country people were delightful
rest, although we could never get away
from unless we shut ourselves up in our
dark bedroom or rode off across the
country on our ponies. Toward the
close of one busy day we crept through
some thorny bamboos into a shady
corner to enjoy quiet half hour read
ing, but it was just four minutes before
we were discovered and then the
crowd gathered one by one as
usual. jokingly remarked to one
woman that they seemed to be people
of leisure, to which she replied that
they were taking a few days off so asst
be with us.
Our daily program was meeting very
informally gathering under the ban
vans in the morning, where we talked,
read and sang with the people. A lit
tie rest after dinner, then another hour
or two under the banyans before taking
horseback ride. In the evening the
house was we'll filled with the villagers
who came to sing and listen to the
prayers and conversation.
The little store of quinine, pepper
ment and cough medicine which we
took for our own use in case OF an
emergency was exhausted by the Chin
csc long before our stay was over.
What soap we had left and our empty
milk tins made most acceptable pres
ents to those who had taken pains to
inconvenience themselves for our sakes.
The tracts were also eagerly sought for
by those who could read.
A number of women wanted to re-
turn to Hollow with us to enter our
girls school, but looked sorrOwful when
we told them that they must eat
themselves" instead of " eating us. "
Few people are well enough off to make
a living without having every member
of the family plod to their fields daily.
Every one urged us to come again
soon and to stay longer. On the
morning of our return to the city the
villagers saw us off, waving their
hands to us until we disappeared over
another hill, and now we are looking
forward to another visit with them in
the fall.
When we reached Hollow we learned
that the plague which has been raging
in Kiung Chow all winter has not
abated in the least and many of the
students gathered there for examina-
ton are dying of that disease.
Yours sincerely,
KATE L. SCHAFFER.

THE ALEXANDRIA COUNTY LEAGUE
AND GOVERNOR O'FERRALL.-A dis
patch TO the Washington Star from
Richmond says: Mr.. Robert Il. Neitch
and Mr.. A. S. Doniphan, as a commit
tee from the Alexandria County
League of Citizens, called upon Gov.
o Ferrall at his residence Friday to
ask his aid in their efforts to secure the
conviction Of persons charged with and
arrested ior crime in that county. They
represented to the governor that not
withstanding the fact that twenty i've
or thirty warrants have been issued
aud witnesses secured, and notwith.
standing the repeated efforts to bring
the cases to trial, no success has been
obtained in this direction. The gov
ernor was given to understand that
this is believed in Alexandria county
to be due to Intellectual prosecution on
the part of the officials of the common
wealth charged with that duty under
the law and their oaths Of Office. The
executive was asked to provide means
for insuring more vigorous prosecu-
ton. Governor O'Ftrrall replied that
while he was in sympathy with the ef-
forts OF the law abiding citizens OF the
county TO purge their neighborhood Of
the evils that aillict them, his powers
Were necessarily restricted. He said
the appropriation for the contingent
fund OF the State was limited, and all
expenses of such case as this must
come out of this fund. He had
spent 5000 in the raids made
by Special Officer Baldwin last
0 tober. He would expend probably
500 more under the present. contract
with the special attorney of Alexandria
county. VINO was employed TO prosecute
these cases. That official had already
been paid S240 for a half years SER
vice 1t would be necessary for the
citizens to supplement the Governors
available fuudS. The governor was
then asked If he would authorize the
appointment Of another special attor-
ney to be paid by the Citizens League.
Governor O'Ferrall did not think this
step Was the best to be taken at this
point. He said the citizens should i'm
peach the officials of the county if they
were found derelict in their duty. He
expressed the utmost confidence in the
uprightness and integrity of county
Judge Chichester. He was sure that if
proceedings were brought
before Judge Chichester he would give
them prompt consideration. In the
event, and if the officials were found
derelict, and removed, as the Judge had
amDle power TO do, other officers ac-
ceptable to the people would doubtless
be appointed, aud tee Governor would
aid in supplementipg this appointment
if necessary.

INJUNCTION DIssoLvED.-The in
junction sworn out by Mr.. E. KempeT
ct al, residents Of south Fairfax street,
to prevent the city from placing per
forated top to the sewer opening on
that thoroughfare, was dissolved this
morning by Judge Norton, and the
work OF completing the sewer will pro-
coed. The complainants alleged that
odors would be emitted from the open
inc which would be deleterious to
health, but the evidence of those called
upon to testify did not substantiate the
complaint. Mr.. S. G.. Brent represent
ed the city and Mr.. kemper the COM
plainants. The latter say they will
take the case to the Court of Appeals.

SToRM.-The sultry weather Of
Saturday was dissipated between
five and six o'clock that even

shingles sailing in the air. A driving
rain followed, which, however, was
OF short duration. The temperature
fell rapidly, and by bedtime it was cool
enough for blankets. The weather
yesterday was decidedly cool, with a
stiff northwesterly wind.
