moderate increase Ia the business OF COIN

At the same time heavy realizing was
evident in the market and its strength
was not uniform, the Anthracite Coal
stocks showing decided weakness, de
spite the nrmness else where, and further
noteworthy losses were scored in c. c. &.

when Alcohol Is Food.

We call the attention of our readers to a
letter from Mr. F. Pohndorff, of Washing

and Mineral Water News, on the good use
of claret, which contains from to Ger
cent of alcohol He says:
When we consider that the countries of

for centuries and tens of centuries, are con-

the Yagar1es of prohibition doctrines in
this country. Doubtless tile con fusion OF
light wines with alcoholic distiilates arises
from the simple fact that our total alb
stainers never learned the art of proper
nutrition. When you meet an ignoramus
who buys wine TO have good time TO
get drunk on it-and therefore prefers a
highly alcoholized wine to simple we'll

There have been any number OF dis

OF wine, practically know the least of
its properties. The young men and women
in France, in Italy and in Spain always
have at their meals claret diluted with

THE AMERICAN PLAYERS.

Mr.. Plowman was to be in this match,
but yesterday afternoon Mr. Handy was
given the place as substitute.
One of the pleasing incidents OF the
close OF the match was telegram from
the other side saying that the result was
received with the utmost cordiahty and
good feeling, and a suggestion OF three
cheers for the President OF the United
States.
On the reading of this telegram, Mr.
Handy arose and proposed with enthusi-
asm three cheers for Queen Victoria, three
times three and a tiger. America; the
people on this side not TO be outdone in
Courtesy, Capt. O'FarTell being one of the
most enthusiastic Of the cheerers for her

Among the other cahlegrams received
was one from Mr. Heaton, as follows:
The Rt. Hon A. ]. Balfour, the leader
of the House, is now witnessing the game
on board No 2, and is very much inter.

Kai Chong, Chinese Taro

About a quarter Of a mile above
school street on the Eva side of Liliha
al a place called Konowai, Kai Chong,
raro planter and hog raiser, was bitten
hy boar yesterday forenoon and be-
fore medical assistance could be Sc
cured, was dead. The story as told by
other Cinnamon associated with him
~ work is substantially as follows:
On Monday, Kai Chong borrowed a
large black boar from a japanese and
took him TO his place forthwith Some
time during the night, the animal
wandered away from the premises up
on the land Of others. Bright and
early, Kai ChOng started out in puT-
suit and shortly afterwards found the
boar roofing up the sod under some
cCc0anut trees on the premises of ma
lives not more than 500 feet removed.
He started TO drive the animal back
and by dint Of poking with stick
must have so irritated him as to cause
hin. TO turn.
At all events nothing was known of
The matter until cries for help were
heard from the direction of the prem
ises Of the native already indicated.
David Carter went over and there
found the japanese. the owner of the
boar. The Chinaman was lying on the
ground in a pool of blood and was un-
able 10 speak a word With the help
OF three Chinese laborers, Carter and
tho japanese carried the wounded man
70 the house where he died inside of a
minutes time
Upon examination it was found that
the animal has made four wounds com
pletely through the Heshy part OF the
leg about a half way up from the knee,
Examination Of the boar's tusks later
explained how easily this could have
been done. They were over two inches
long.
