HIS DEATH FORETOLD.

Had Named.

Now ChOng Expires at the Hour He
Had Named.
An astounding case of fatalism has
just come under the attention of the
british Columbia medical practitioners,
who find in science no explanation and
but few presidents for the extraordi-
nary occurrence, reports the ST. Louis
Republic.
Ten months ago Now Chong, a
wealthy merchant and manufacturer
Cf paper flowers, had vision in which,
he said, he received supernatural COM
munication informing him that he
would die at six p. m. the 10th day of
Shap zee, the 18th of January. Before
the fateful day arrived he closed up his
business, distributed requests and on
the day set for his death was banqueted
by some 90 intimate friends at his resi-
dence here.
The feast was in progress when he
quietly left the board and retired to his
couch. Just as the clock struck six
he died, without word or struggle.
Much against the wishes of his rela-
tives, an autopsy was ordered, which,
however, failed to disclose any cause of
death. Now the authorities are in
quandary, as the body cannot be buried
or sent home to China, as desired, with
out n death certificate, and no local
practitioner can solve the riddle and is
sue one. ... E..l.t.,. 70 b.

returned from Omaha says that she
heard Of remarkable name out there
1t belongs IN the Estabrook family, and
when one says Estabrook in Nebraska
it is as if one said Lee in Virginia or
Adams in Massachusetts. The owner of
the name Is a grandson of old General
Estabrook, the family pioneer across
the Missouri. When the child was
born, his parents desired to give him
the names of his two grandfathers. Gen
eral Estabrook' name was Experience
-General Experience Estabrook. The
other grandfather name was Asad. 1t
was the intention TO give General Esta-

Degeneration" of China

A Chinese CORES pondent draws our
attention to performances III which
Chinese actresses are engaged that are
to lie seen at Chinese theater in the

on the stage is Illegal III China, and
this rule was formerly enforced in
Shanghai, but it is understood that the
present mixed court magistrate has nc
objection to tie innovation, and the po-
lice therefore have not interfered. 1t is
