Chronic Rheumatism.

From the Industrial News, Jackson, Mich.
The subject OF this sketch is fifty
six years of age, and actively engaged
in farming. When seventeen years
old he hurt his shoulder and few
years after, commenced to have
rheumatic pains in it. On taking a
slight cold or the least strain, some.
times without any apparent cause
whatever, the trouble would start
and he would surfer the most
excruciating pains.
He suffered for over thirty years,
and the last decade has suffered SO
much that he was unable to do any
work To this the frequent occur
rences OF dizzy spells were added,
making him almost helpless
invalid.

DIED SUDDENLY.
a Prominent Young Planter Passes
Away.

1t was difficult to believe it when
the news reached the town that
James Robert Renton, the Manager
Of Hamakua Mill on Hawaii, had
expired suddenly at his home, in the
prime OF his useful life.
A few weeks ago he was in the
city healthy and hearty, and his
uutimely death is terrible shock to
his numerous friends and to his
business associates.
The deceased was only 80 years Of
age at the time of his death and
during the past 16 years he had
managed the Hamakua Mill in a
manner highly satisfactory to the
owners as we'll as to the employees.
The late Mr.. Renton was born in
Australia aud arrived here when a
small child. His father who was a
pattern maker in the Honolulu Iron
Works, gave his children the best
education possible, aud James was
placed in the college conducted by
Mr.. A. T. Atkinson. The boy did
honor to his teacher aud to his faith.
or and leaves high character for
ability and honor behind. The de-
ceased married daughter of Or.
Wight of Kohala to whom he was
devotedly attached, and to who, to
his infinite grief, died year ago in
England, where she had gone by the
advice of her physicians, who hoped
that achange Of climate would bene
fit her. Hawaii loses worthy and
valuable citizen in the death of Jas
r. Renton.

manager Of the Norfolk team that he
would be unable to ill the date.
On next Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock Newport News and Norfolk will
