Ranchman David Pearce Is Dying
From it.
Pomona, Cal, Sept.9.-David Pearce,
a we'll known ranchman near San
Gabriel, is dying from poison from the
sting of a mosquito last week.
He was cleaning IN irrigating ditch
at nightfall IN his property and was
frequently stung by mosquitoes. He
continued at his work and went home.
A mosquito sting back of his left ear
irritated him more than all the others.
Next day it became somewhat painful
and on the following day the pain in
creased.
From that time the wound grew
rapidly worse and for the mex two
days Mr.. Pearce was unconscious.
His head was swollen and the back of
his neck is much enlarged. 1t is be-
lieved that the mosquito must have
come from the malarial spots in the

PLAY ENDS IN A TRAGEDY.
Fatal Termination ofa Make-Believe
Cunning Trip.

Lancaster Dec. 1.-MeChanics grove,
Drumore township, was the scene of
shocking tragedy last evening, the vic
tim, a girl of Z years, having her head
blown off by her 9-year-old brother
with a gun.
The father Of the children, Jacob
Fisher. went on cunning trip on
Monday afternoon and returned with
considerable game. Upon his arrival
at his home he placed his shotgun in
the kitchen, but did not take the pre-
caution TO remove the load. Shortly
afterward he left the house. In his
absence his little son and daughter
took it into their heads to have a make
believe cunning trip, the sight of the
weapon inspiring the thought The
boy, Harry, aged Q years, procured the
gun, and pointing it at his sister Kate,
admOnished her TO look out.
While the girl laughed and danced
in glee as she looked into the grim
muzzle of the gun, her brother pressed
the trigger. The deafening report
brought Mrs. Fisher who was at the
barn. in haste to the house. Cropping
her way through the binding smoke
i'm the kitchen, her worst fear was
realized-one of her children had been
mortally shot in play by the other.
The little victim of q brothers prank
had met instantaneous death. The
heavy charge of shot entered her neck
directly about the shoulders, crashing
it's way through to the skin, literally
tearing off the upper port of her head.
A coroner's jury. after hearing the
boys recital of the eTents leading up
to the tragedy, returned a verdict of
accidental death.

THE TEA SITUATION.

The New York journal of Commerce
of recent date SAYS:
Stocks are running low, and cannot
be replenished this year from China or
Japan, as teas available in those coun-
tries are not up to standards, and
would be stopped at the customs. In
1895 the imports into North America
were 1l3,OOO,OOO, in 1897 they are esti-
mated to he only 97OOO,OOO The popu-
latiOn meantime has increased, and so
should the consumption Of tea. From
Calcutta and Colombo the shipments
of India and CeylOn teas to London
are short, while consumptin in Great
Britain and exports thence have in
creased RAPIDLY. From June l to Sep
tember 80 the London imports were
9Sl2 millions in 1895 and 80 millions in
1897. Home consumption was 72la mill
lions in 1895 and 77s4 millions in 1897.
Exports We're 10 millions in 1895 and
12A millions in 1897. Stocks have con-
sequently fallen. and prices have risen,
the average price of Ceylon teas sold
by auction i'm London during the last
week of October this year being 9O3
pence, against Slad. for same week of
last year. Importers are making stren-
from India and CeylOn but in the pres
ent statistical condition of the trade
this is hopeless il teas up to the stand
ards are to be imported As members
of these firms fixed the standards we
must suppose they want teas at least
equal to them. Ceylon and India teas
are always at their best between Oc-
tober and March. If quality be de-
sired, those teas should be bought
now"
Since the above was published, the
board Of general appraisers has refused
entry to about 1900 cases of Pingsuey
teas, each case Weighing IS pounds
This still further increases the short
age, and there are many shipments on
the way that viii also come under the
han of the law, because they are fan
below the standard, An attempt will
be made To get these teas into Can

siye; besides, there would he no market

countries win not drink the lie" and
