entering his rooms, the girl noticed him
on the couch and believed he was asleep.
On the return Of his wife at $3.50 she
found him dead, the body still warm.
Washington Hesing was the son of An
ton Caspar Hesing, conspicuous in Re-
publican political and newspaper circles
of Chicago for many years prior to and
after the great fire. He was born in Gin
cinnati, May IA, 1910, and came with his
parents to Chicago in 1854, remaining a
resident of the city ever since, save when
absent in travel or study at the univer-
sites.
He crowded into scarce half a century
every experience that he could find in life,
enjoyable or otherwise. The spirit of mod
ern rush appeared to be ever upon him
and to keep him to the fore. His school
ing leapcd from the common school to Os-
nabrueck, Hanover; his university life
from the University of Chicago to Yale
and from Yale to Berlin and Heidelberg.
He read international law, literature of
all nations, absorbed political economy
and history.
Printers devil, editorial writer, manag-
ing editor, president of publishing con-
Germ, member of the Board of Education,
president Of the County Board of Educa-
ton, postmaster, candidate for Mayor

NEARLY A MILLION BIELES.
Work Of American Bible Society in
Foreign Lands.

A statement issued by the American
Bible Society concerning its work in for
eign lands during the last year shows that
it involved an expenditure of $192, 292. 81
and the circulate Of 767 ,52S volumes of
the holy scriptures. or these more than
half-405, 900 volumes-were distributed

Levant, 10000 In South America, 49,
600 in Central America and Mexico, 3D.
600 in Siam and Laos, 10000 in Russia,
10000 in France, 10000 in Spain and
Austria, 10000 in India; besides smaller
numbers in Africa. Arabia and Corea.
In accomplishing this work the agents
ard correspondents of the society employ
ed 49, men, each working on an average
more than eight months. The distribu-
ton of the Bible is regarded as of prime
Importance in oil foreign missionary op-
erations, and the cooperation Of the
American Bible Society with the mission
boards receives from them the most cor
dial recognition. Hence the society will
issue an appeal to pastors aud others, that
in tho special meetings which are to be
held early In January in observance Of the
annual week of prayer due emphasis may
be laid upon the Importance Of extending
the circulation of the Bible among all
nations during the closing years of the
nineteenth century and especially in those
parts of the world where the Bible is an
unknown book.

A Seductive Weed.

In Southern Arizona the Jail and
prison officials have their hands full In
trying to prevent the smuggling into
their institutions of the seductive mari
guiana. This Is kind Of loco" weed,
more powerful than opium. 1t grows
from seed by cultivation In Southern
Arizona and in Mexico. 1t is n dan
gerous thing for the uninitiated to han
die, but those who know its uses say
1t produces more ravishing dreams
than opium. The MexIcans mix 1t with
tobacco and smoke Ii In cigarettes, in
haling the smoke. When used Ia this
way 1t produces hilarious spirit In
the smoker that cannot be equaled In
any other form of dissipation. When
struggled inside the prison walls its
devotees readily pay 81 an ounce for
II, but free men buy 1t on the outside
for 80 cents an ounce. General Shri-
yer. OF the prison force mt Yuma. has
Just unearthcd large quantity Of the
weed that had been cached within
reach of the convicts who work in the
outside gangs.--St. Louis Globe Demo

CANADIAN PREMIER REFUSES TO
SUSPEND SEALING.
Expresses Willingness, However, to
Review the se-Correspondence Be-
tween Washington and Ottawa Now
Made Publie-Dun's Report.
Hitch in Seal Negotiations.


The correspondence which has passed
between Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Cana
dian premier, and Gen. Foster, the Amer
lean negotiator, touching the seal nego-
tiations, since the Washington conference
has been made public. 1t consists Of two
letters. In the first, dated Ottawa, Nov.
"a, Sir Wilfrid Laurier passes upon the
proposition of our Government which was
taken back to Canada by him at the con-
clusion of the conference. He says he is
willing to enter at once upon review OF
the whole seal question, though the Paris
award was made revisable only at the end
of five years, provided the other questions
OF Importance to the two countries-im-
migration, reciprocity, fish protection, etc.
be considered at the time. He declines,
however, to suspend sealing meantime.
The second letter is from Gen. Foster to
Sir Wilfrid, dated Washington, Dec. =.
Gen. Foster says that Sir Wilfrid's an
swer is n declination of his proposition
and renewal of the Canadian PROPOSE
ton made at the conference, and the
President declines to reverse his position
on that point.

HOLES IN THE SUN.
Strange Phenomena Visible with n
Smoked Glass.

With the protection of piece of smok-
ed glass great dark spots are now visible
near the center of the suns surface.
They appear as great blotches on the
suns disk, but when viewed with pow
erful telescope they are revealed as great
holes in the suns surface thousands of
miles in area and depth. When the spec
troscope is used these great cavities are
seen TO be seething masses of rosy fame.
To the eye assisted by smoked glass only
one or two spots are visible. but with the
telescope, n addition to three great cavi-
ties. several smaller ones come TO view.
Each of these is really an enormous hole
and into the largest our earth could be
tossed without ever touching the edges.
AS is usual VIXEN such phenomena "a
these are presented, astronomers are
guessing and specializing as to the results
which these strange conditions may por-
tend. To those not posted in the science
of the stcrs these conjectures and specu-
latons must either be accepted or reject
cd. But whatever may be the follies aud
vagar.cs of astronomers one thing Is GER
tain. and that is that for some time the
surface Of the sun has given strong evil
denccs of a great upheaval. The culminu-
ton Of these evidences can only be d.
sermincd as thy are developed.

At least six persons lost their lives in

back by the smoke. The only refuge
there seemed TO be left were the fire es-
capes. AS the register is burned, the
number Of dead is unknown.

The Coming Crisis.

The teachings Of history but empha-
size the oft-expressed conviction of
leading thinkers that the greatest crisis
Of our national history impends, and
that we can be saved only by the ap-
plication to public affairs Of the prin-
ciples and teachings of Jesus Christ,
the wisest statesman and the greatest
philanthropist who ever lived.
The preacher who fears to rebuke
public sin, and who trims the truth
with college jack-knives until 1t fits the
demands Of the prominent citizen"
with the fat pocketbook, must be rec
ognized as a time-server for place and
lucre.
The anarchists who occupy the chief
seats In the sanctuary, live In fine
houses, and bride the assessor and leg
islature, must be branded as such, and
not be allowed to insult God and I'm
peril society by using Christianity rs
a cloak.
The voter who puts self or party first
and moral principle last, must be rec
ognized as a traitor to his country.
These are the first causes of our ma
tional peril; the boodling legislator, the
corrupt official, and the prevailing pow
erty and crime are but their Effects

HAYTI MAY FIGHT.
Belief Prevails That She Will Not Be
Coerced This Time.

Belief Prevails That She Will Not BE
Coerced This Time.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says that Hayti may once
more be submitted to humiliation similar
to that inflicted by Germany in the Lue-
ders case. In the present instance Italy
is she presumably aggrieved party. The
cause is the alleged illegal seizure Of an
italian vessel and the killing Of an Italian,
Should Italy resort to force to collect an
indemnity the opinion preyeils il admin
istration circles that President Sam viii
be forced by his people to declare war.
Minister Leger and the members of the
Haytian legation do not believe Hayti
is responsible for either of the matters
above alluded to. What this country will
do is wholly problematcal.

HOLIDAY BUSINESS HEAVY.
Dun's Review of Trade Points Out
Encouraging Features.


Dun's Weekly Review of Trade speaks
ms follows: "Close to its annual holiday
the business of the year is surprisingly
large. Payments through banks are again
2.5 per cent larger than in 1892, hereto
fore the year Of greatest prosperity; the
production of iron and woolens and boots
and shoes is larger than ever before, ex-
ports eclipse all past records and failures
for two weeks have been the smallest for
corresponding weeks in five years. The
most weighty news of the week is the rise
OF merchandise exports in November to
SIG, $3.50, 200, the excess of exports in four
months being $229, 81, 401, while in half
of December exports are nearly as large
and imports $2,50O,000 smaller than last
year. Probably all records are surpassed
by exports for this year, which have been
$974, 100000 in eleven months, and the
excess over imports in five months has
probably exceeded 2S9,000,0OO. Failures
for the week have been 800 in the United
States, against 3S7 last year, and % in
Canada, against Al last year"
