The funeral oorUege moved from the house
Of MIR. SOh a little after 4 O'Clock. A
long wait had been made for the Korean
minister, wlIo, however, did not come. It
vas said by the friends of MIR. Soh that
grievous insult had been given his mem
ory and the royal Korean princes by the
minister by his absence The reason given
by Tic Korean minister was that he was
incisp5sed, but il is thought that he took
this way OF showing his hatred and con-
tempt for the religion and liberal political
view OF jhe deceased. The two meu have
belonged TO opposite Political and religious
creeds in Korea.

It is significant that the flotiIia will
be kept within snch easy distane OF Cuba
instead Of coming further north in one Of
the harbors generally used. There is an
impression that there is an unexplained
reason for this, and that the rotil!a will
be kept there in anticipation OF ultimate

CONSUMPTION Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRAVE
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 W. Pearl ST., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted TO skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept IN a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him q
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing It's
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
ON the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery Is regarded az
almost a miracle.
