they left and the Sandy Hook team went

but found the gates locked and no one to
receive them. The intense heat had
caused the drivers to come slow, hence
they were late.

THE CITY OF HONGKONG.

1t Is One of the Most Unhealthy
Spots on the Globe.
In spite of all the precautions that
have been taken, the perfect sanitation
of the city, the fine natural drainage,
the cleanliness of the streets. Hong
kong is one Of the most unhealthful
spots on the globe. With its tropical
heat the lofty peaks that half encircle
1t catch the clouds that the rapid
evaporation create, and they are
squeezed like a sponge, the floods Of
rain pouring down in streaming tor
rents.
The houses lack light, although they
are built as well as they could be, with
perforated ceilings, through which the
air .circulates, admitted from openings
pierced by the outer walls. The floors
fare brilliantly waxed, carpets, owing
to the great dampness, being dispens-
ed with. The great difficulty Is to Sc
cure light and proper ventilation. The
streets are very narrow, and the tow =
ing walls of buildings opposite OBJ
struct the light In front, while at the
rear the courts Of terraces crowded
with foliage cast heavy shade from
that direction. In the gardens. while
plants flourish luxurantly, there is no
grass, but the ground Is green with
moss. just as 1t grows In damp. shady
places In cooler climates. The he t
and the great humidity are destructive
to health, and it is doubtful If there is
q single normal liver in the whole of
Hongkong.
English women who come out with
compilations of cream and roses grow
thin and sallow. The Hongkong COM
plexion is startling grayish green,
and the old resident has with this pal
lor dark blush circles under the eyes.

ing perspiration, and people become
gaunt and thin.-Boston Transcript

E,It is reported that the Federals
are quitting Zand River, says a
Smaldeel dispatch dated Tuesday,
and it is varicusly stated that they
are retreatlng toward the Vaal and
are taking up their position at
Boshrand, south of Kroodstad.
Large numbers of burghers have
come in and delivered their Mausers
and horses to the British. They
affirm that there is bitter quarrel
between the Free Staters and the
Transvaalers, which is likely to
end in the speedy surrender OF the
former.
1t is believed at Cape Town that
on the arrival of the British at the
Vaal River, a proclamation was
issued annexing the Orange Free
State to the Dominion of the Queen
and demonstrating the determine
ton Of Her Majesty's forces to as
sert British supremacy over the
annexed territory.
A dispatch from Maseru, dated
May s, says the Beers have desert
ed both Ladybrand and Ficksburg
in panicly condition owing to re-
ports that the British had occupied
Senekal, thus threatening their re-
treat to the Transvaal.

accomplished the censor refuses to
allow the correspondent to state.

LEMURL GRAVES has been ap-
pointed chairman of the Republican
Committee of Mill Creek Hundred.
He is an earnest Republican and
will use his best efforts to unite the
party in support of the same cam
didates. If the chairman of every
Hundred Committee in the State
were like him, there would be no
trouble in scoring Republican
victory at the next election. The
chairman of the State Committee
should act on this hint. We want
unity of action, and it will be time
enough to talk about "union with
honor, alter next January. There
is honor IN contributing to success,
and disgrace in contributing to de-
feat. A general who will not con-
form to circumstances to carry 4
battle to successful issue, will be
sure to meet with censure, while
the one who succeeds will be greet
ed with applause. Only obloquy
awaits the unsuccessful general,
while the successful one is sure of
honor and distinction.
