during which time he brought his whole business capacity to bear on the eX- tinction of the great'and the minor re- bellions, He was getting on in life and had no heir, and, taking the risks of campaigning into account, it seemed imperative that he should provide him self with son who would care for the family tombs and maintain the family altar. According to eastern custom the custom of all nations in which the family system is dominant--he adopted a son, who was his own nephew. This is the gentleman who is known as Lord" Lii, who, in the natural course of events, will be Earl" Iii, that being adopted as the English equivalent of the third order of Chinese nobility. In connection with this transaction the fates played off a little bit of irony on the Il family, for soon after the adop- tion, the natural heir appeared, and the true and the adopted son are both now travelling in the eX-viceroy's suite. How much love is lost between the two is not accurately known, but the case is little hard for the rightful heir, who opened his eyes on the world to find that his birthright had been forfeited before he was born The true son has a slight defect in one of his legs, which makes him limp. Like Richard, he was sent into this breathing world scarce all made up, and the father used to crack his little jokes on the subject somewhat in the vein of Tristram The Cornhill

cember g, a day of direful omen for a sick man. For superstition akin to our own about the ebbing of the tide haunts the Chinese in respect to the winter solstice which, Of all the days of the year, is the most likely for an old man to die in. The family had earnest ly impressed on Lii Hung Chang that he would not survive that day. Even Lady Lii, who also lay sick, appropria- ted the sinister influences to herself, and thought that she would not survive the shortest day. When the doctors arrived the viceroy simply asked pr. Frazer, whom he had known for many years: Shall l die on the 22d?" The emphatic "No-o-o!" from the cheery blue-eyed Ulsterman-albeit, proceed ing more from the heart than the head brought a sparkle to the sick mans eye, and it seemed that from that mo-
 ment recovery began: the patient took some nourishment, and strength re-
 turned quickly. Before many days were over the yiceroy was attending to
 public, business, for a Chinese official knows no rest out of the grave
 So 1t was that Lii weathered the wifl- ter solstice.
 There is an episode in the career of Lii Hung Chang which is never alluded to in the proniscuous interviews which His Excellency Is i'll the habit of grant
 ing to ladies and gentlemen in search
 of copy It Is, ir fact, as carefully avoided as the discussion of hemp ropes in certain families. The Tai-Ping de- yastation swept over his province when
 he was still a. young man, and he was made captive by the rebels. There was q great absence Of scholarship among the Tai Pings, and as they were constantly putting out imposing pro- clamations they were hard put to 1t to provide a descent or even an intelligi- i ble 1itdrary form for these state papers, Young Lii was q literary graduate of the first class. Instead of killing him, as they were wont to kill those who fell 1 into their hands, the Tai-Pings had the sense to employ their scholar-c captive in writing out their placards and mani l festoes. and to this happy adaptation l of means to ends the world owes it's Ii i Hung Chang. How he escaped from 1 his captors is unknown to the present
 writers but this is certain, that he has never forgotten those who befriended him at that time. Indeed, it is sup posed his loyalty to the families of his 1 benefactors has cost him much, for il l has led to his keeping about him the ] unworthy sons of perhaps worthy fath- CTS, unprofitable servants. who brought neither credit to their patron nor ad- l vantage to the state.
 The military career of Lii Hung Chang extended over about nine years

 An interesting question came up be- fore the board for it's decision last eve ming.
 Conrad P Rudolph of 2S4 Hallock street presented himself to be made a voter, and having been born in Ger many he submitted as evidence of his citizenship the naturalization papers of his father, Vincent Rudolph
 The board refused to accept him, and advised him to go to Judge Hotchkiss and get naturalization papers for him. self.
 Rudolph stated that he had already applied for naturalization papers twice and that both times they had been re- fused him by Judge Hotchkiss, who told him that he could not give him naturalization papers, as he was al- ready a citizen, he having been a min- or at the time his father was natural ized. A committee waited upon Judge Hotchkiss, who stated that that was the law, and expressed the desire to appear before the board tomorrow and explain the matter, which he will do. Rudolph has appeared before the board three times.
 The papers were granted to his fa- ther in Pennsylvania in August, 1861, and as Rudolph is forty-four years old now, he was nine years old when the papers were granted
 Judge Hotch1iss granted eighty-sev- en full naturalization papers yesterday and thirteen first naturalization papers.

Bull Feeling Ran Very High on Stock Ex-
 change Yesterday.
 New York, Oct 22.-It is long time since the bull feeling at the stock ex- change has run as high as it did to- day Despite the advance in the Bank of England rate of discount and the advance in the rates of sterling ex- change, prices declined only A to x per cent, and in very short time the trend of the market was upwards once more
 AS the rise made progress the shorts became thoroughly alarmed and their purchases gave an impetus to the up- ward movement The bulls had full control and lifted one stock after another with comparative ease. The highest quotations were reached about 2 o'clock, and at that time prices show ed an advance of F to 2ss per cent, the industrials Louisville and Nash vile, the grangers. and the southwest erns leading.
 The dealings were largely profession al, but some of the commission houses did report orders for moderate amounts for outside account the latter probably because of the easier rates for money here.
 Around delivery hour (2:15 p. m.) news came about the further de- moralization in the wheat market and the bears used it to make drive at the share list. Even then they met with very indifferent success. The de- cline from the highest was only A to Ii per cent, and this, too, notwith- standing extensive realization. The market left off steady at a fractional rally.
 Net changes show advances of 4 o 1ss per cent. Tobacco leading. Missou- ri Pacific lost B. and Kansas and Tex as preferred F per cent. In the spec ialties Rubber preferred rose 2A to 6S%

two mouths, four nostrils and four

the crown show that four horns are
forming. The two eyes, which are
close together, have lost their sight

that he could raise the money in

Several correspondents have en-
quired of The INDEPENDENT the rea-
son Tor naming Pauahi Street, after
the great fire of 1886. Some have
accepted the common idea of the
Interpretation of the word, and have
thought that it meant to define the
limit of the fire at the China Engine
House. One translation of the word
may mean "the fire stopped;" but
the historical fact OF the naming OF
the street, as ascertaned from COM
petent authorities, robs romance
and brings it down to the mere will
OF the owner of the property, who
desired to honor the name OF an
ancestor Of his wife's family. When
the town was redistricted after the
fire, there was strong feeling in
favor of naming the street after the
American fashion, by modern names
or numerals. The gentleman in
question heard of this proposed
evolution, and in his influential and
forcible manner protested against
the innovation on behalf OF the
Hawaiians from whom he had de-
rived the assistance that enabled his
brains to have full play, and for
him to become an efficient trustee

1t is neither wise nor discreet for

litics. Professionalism, Catholicism,

far more than the nero distinctive

OF the English speaking people, the

introduced to your notice by us,
we scarcely anticipated the sue
cess that has followed its intro
duction.
We felt assured, most un-
doubtedly, that the public trials
by ladies of repute, had attract
ed the attention of economical
housewives and the friends of
pure and perfect cooking through
an odorless burner, with a maxi
mum of heat and minimum
of danger.
We did not expect, however,
that our stock would have been
sold out so soon in the view of
the competition of business
rivals, but that is the fact.
But merit speaks for itself,
and people must have clean food,
irrespective of religious and
political debates. Fortunately
for you-to us it is almost a
matter of indifference-our prin-
cipals have sent us just what
you want.
We can now offer you just
what you require, No. 106 with
the oven arrangement for $25;
or there is No. 105, including
the oven for $22.5O. These are
perfect stoves. There is ten
pounds difference in the weight,
the one being 140 lbs, and the
other 130lbs., but for the"cooking
made easy" there is very little
choice between them except in
details of neatness, convenience
aud establishment.
1t is we'll to remember that
there are three desiderata in
these stoves, pure blue odorless
flame, perfect safety and the use
of the ordinary kerosene oil.
1--WE can add to these the clean
illness of the stove and the small
amount of labor required to
keep it in perfect order.
There are two little incidents
attached to these stoves that
will attract the attention of
domestic cooks, and one is the
"New Process" toaster. Even if
you don't posses one of our stoves
it will be found extremely useful
to toast or broil. The other is
the "New Process" Ventilated
broiler, which retains all the
juices in the meat and will
change a tough steak or outlet
into a tender one without the
hatchet or the rolling pin.
Call and examine these things
for yourself. Perhaps, we have
other matters that we can whis-
per to you about.
