How Willis, Remain, viii Come.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE state DC
partment this morning received the ON
cial news Of the death OF Minister Wits.
Usually when man-of-war IS available.
the remains Of a Minister dying abroad
are placed on board the warship and
brought home In state. The only United
states vessel now in the harbor OF Homo
lulu is the old fashioned corvette Alert
of 800 horse power. with single screw
and Of only 1,2J tonnage. II would take
her at least fifteen days 10 make the
VOYAGE from Honolulu TO San Francisco,
and she has no accommodations suitable
for the comfort of the deceased Minister
family. consisting of his widow and his
only son.
The family. II Is understood, prefers
that the body should be transported by
a regular mail steamer, which was TO
leave Honolulu on the 18th of January
and IS due i'm San Francisco January 10Th.
There is no doubt that this course has
been taken.
In view of the broad divergence Of views
between the President and Congress on
the Hawaiian question. il is altogether
probable that President Cleveland will
leave the appointment of Minister Willis 8
successor 10 President-elect Mckinley

A NEW TRIUMPH.
A Reliable Cure for the Dreaded
Consumption Found.
L. A. slocum. the Noted Chemist and
Scientist, sends Free to Invaiids, Three
for the Cure of Consumption and
All Diseases of the Lungs.

The fact has become absolutely cstab-
lished that Il. A. SlOcum, M. c., of New
York city, has discovered an intalhble
cure for consumption and for all pull
monary Complaints His new scientific
treatment OF throat, chest, and lungs
has produced results as marvellous as
the history Of medicine affords in mod
ern times.
Testimonials by thousands have been
received attosting remarkable cures. 10
seems necessary and humane duty,
therefore. 10 bring such facts 10 the at
tention Of all inyalids who may be bene-
fitted thereby.
TO this end II IS announced that any
afflicted person who simply sends his or
her express and postoflice address 10

York city, and mention reading this arti-
Gle in The Richmond Times Will receive
in return. three free bottles of these
valuable remedies. Nothing could be
more magnanimous or demonstrate more
thoroughly an abiding faith in the new
Slocum system Of medicine.
1t is a common assertion that the age
of miracles is past. and yet chemistry
and science are daily astonishing the
world with new wonders. IL is no
longer safe TO say that anything may
not be achieved. The researches and
experiments Of Or. Slocum patiently
carried on for years have eliminated

or philosopher
All bronchial troubles throat. lung,
and heart diseases; catarrhal affections,
general debility, loss OF flesh. emaciation.
and nervous prostraton-absolutely cured.
Consumption has yielded to science at
last.
No one threatened with these dangerous
disorders should hesitate a day in COM
municating with the doctor, who, as a
chemist scientist and medicinal inven-
tor. justly deserves TO rank at the head
OF his noble profession.
Thin women. emacated men. worn-out
mothers. sickly. puny, children-invalids

Over 5000. 900 Acres Recorded in q
County OF coo, 900 Acres.
Wheeling, w. Va, Oct. 11.-What II
believed to be a land swindle similar to
that which has been worked in some
western states In being operated by
Eome parties outside OF the state. In
West Virginia there are enormous
tracts OF undeveIoped timber and coal
lands lying In the interior. A dispatch
from Mcdowell county. lying in tke
extreme southern portion Of the state,
says that inside the last two months
deeds which are believed to be fraudu-
lent have been admitted to record there
purporting to convey several thousand
acres or valuable coal land for consid-
srations aggregating several hundred
thousand dollars. There are now over
100000 acres on the land books, while
the county only contains about 600. 900
acres, all told
The scheme has been worked by the
same parties for some time. A deed is
prepared for q large tract OF coal land
In the county, and 1t IL acknowledged
before some fictitious notary public In
q faraway state 1t IL then sent to
Mcdowell county to be recorded, and
have the clerk OF the county court for
ward the operators certified COPIES OF
the deed from the record. This places
them IN \ position TO dispose OF the
pretended titles for q good price to un-
suspectinR parties.
1t IL not unusual for q stranger to
turn up at Welch. which is the county
seat of Mcdowell county. with . deed
for several thousand acres Of land.
which II all straight on the record, but
when he comes to look for the land he
cannot md it. Efforts are being made
to ascertain the identity OF the oper-
ators.

Resolved. That while we deplore the
fact that our brother was taken so
young, yet since God doeth all thin gs
we'll, we bow in humble submission to
his will, saying as Job in the days of
old The Lord Giveth, the Lord has
taken away, blessed is the name of the

That innumerable caravan which

To that mysterious realm, where each

By an unfaltering trust, approach our
graves,
Like one who wraps the drapery Of his
couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
dreams"
Resolved, That we extend to the
bereaved family our tenderest SYM

is our only comfort and sure reward.
Resolved, That we, as tit memorial
of his life and service, purchase a life
