TROUBEF. YROUBLE.

Shamrock IT. will not be able to get over here on time now and she will be lucky if she gets here at all. Her ca- reer has had gloomy beginning, and yesterday it came near having a gloomy ending. A yacht which, after several queer antics, endangers the life of the King of England and several other distinguished persons, including it's owner. may be interesting, but it is not extremely encouraging. Notwith- standing all that has happened to her Sir Thomas Lipton still believes her boat worthy to be the challenger, and thinks that when the unfortunate chap ter of accidents comes to an end she will stand a good chance of Hitting the cup, Perhaps so, if the chapter comes to an end soon enough. and if Yankee skill fails.
 Sir Thomas says the King of Eng land is as brave as lion. He needs to be if he is going yachting with Sir Thomas this year. Sir Thomas him. self is no. lacking in courage, and he deserves better luck.

 weird and horrible to hear; The death rattle of the dying and the shriek
 of deadly fear. Then the speaker rapped for order, "Fcllow

ing to be killed for preaching. and yet you continue to do so." That night the
 party were placed In prison with a
 number of other missionaries and their wives and children. including several
 Catholic priests. The next morning they were all executed.
 '"The first to be led forth" Yung Cheng says, was MT. Farthing, Bap- tist minister. His wife clung to him,
 but he put her aside gently, knelt down without saying q word, and his head
 was struck off by one blow of the exc
 cutioner's knife. He was quickly fol-
 lowed by Pastors Hoddle and Kenyon,
 and Drs Lovitt and Wilson, all of
 whom were beheaded with one blow by the executioner. Then the governor,
 Yu Hsien. grew impatient and told his l bodyguard, all of whom carried big be-
 heading knives with long handles, to
 kill the others. Pastors Stokes, Simp- son and Whitehouse were next killed,
 the last by one blow only, the other two by several.
 "When the men were finished the la-
 dies were taken. Mrs. Farthing had
 hold of the hands of her children, who clung to her. but the soldiers parted
 them and with one blow beheaded all 1 the children and did it skillfully, need | ing only one blow for each; but the soldiers were clumsy and some of the ladies suffered several cuts before death.
 l Mrs. Lovitt was wearing her specta~ cles and held the hand of her little boy even when she was killed. She spoke to the people, saying. as nearly as l re- member: We all came to China to bring you the good news of salvation by Jesus Christ; we have done you no harm, only good; why do you treate us |eo?"
 "A soldier took off her spectacles be- fore beheading her, which needed two blows.
 When the Protestants were all killed the Roman Catholics were led forward The bishop, an old man with long white beard, asked the governor, Yu Hsien, why he was doing this wicked deed I did not hear the governor give him answer but he drew his sword and cut the bishop across the face one heavy stroke. Blood poured down his white beard and he was beheaded. The priests and nuns quickly followed him in death.
 Then Pastor Pigott and his party were led from the district jail which is close by. He was still handcuffed and so was MT. Robinson. He preached to the people till the very last, when he was beheaded with one blow. MT. Rob- inson suffered death very calmly. Mrs. Pigott held the hand of her son, even when she was beheaded, and he was killed immediately after her. The lady and two girls were killed also, quickly.
 "On that day forty-f1ve foreign peo- pie in all were beheaded, thirty-three Protestants and twelve Roman Catho- lies The bodies of all were left where they fell till next morning, as it was evening before the work was finished During the night they were stripped of their clothing and other things, such as rings and watches. Next day they were removed to place inside the great south gate, except some of the heads, which were placed in cages on the gates of the wall.-W. F. Curtis in the Chica- go Record Herald.

How Some of the Missionaries in China Met Death.

How some or the MlGSlOnafleS ln China

 The last mail from China brings a thrilling account of the murder of mis- sionaries al Tai Yuan Flu on the 9th of last July, which was taken down in writing by pr. J, A. Creasey-Smith from the narrative of Yung Cheng, a member of the Baptist church, who was an unwilling witness of the martyrdom Tung Chens Is vouehed for as Chris tian of excellent character and abso- lutely trustworthy. He says that he was taking treatment In the hospital on the society's premises at Tai Yuan Flu when, on the Sth of July, he saw the Rev. MT Pigott, his wife and child, MT. John Robinson, Miss Duval and two young women named Atwater brought into the town. The two gentlemen were han6lcuffed and escorted by a con- pany of soldiers and followed by i'm. mense throngs of natives. Wherever they stopped to rest MT. Pigott and MT.

NOT FUSION, HUT CONFESSION.

| Confusion instead of fusion seems tc
 be awaiting the Populists. If they
 can't fuse in queer Kansas what hope
 have they? They asked the Democrats l in that State to form new party with
 them, but the Democrats seem to prefer l to go their own way in single misery. The chairman of the State Democratic committee tells the Populists that the general feeling. among the Democrats is that the merits of fusion have been tested in Kansas pretty thoroughly; that the last two. campaigns have proven that it is futile of any good re- suits to the people those who are in earnest as to genuine reform; that the Democratic party of Kansas has, in the interest of reform measures, already surrendered everything except its name, and when it is asked to do that, the chairman thinks the majority of the Democrats would consider that it was going too far and he believes that it is something entirely beyond the jurisdiction, province, or function of the committee to take up and pass upon
 About all that seems to be left for the Populists is to die in the last ditch, the middle of the road or any other convenient dying-place. Nobody loves them.

SKOLIOSIS.

| Skoliosis is the very latest, and it Is I not surprising that it was discovered in l Chicago, where there is almost every I thing except death-rate. And what l is Skoliosis, doth the gentle reader ask? | Why, it is Skoliosis and it is further l described as curvature of the spine
 and displacement of hips and shoulders caused by too close confinement to school duties, standing on one and the
 same foot too much, carrying books un-
 der the same arm and bending over desks.
 The discoverer of Skoliosis is Mr.. Henry Suder, the superintendent of physical culture in the Chicago schools, and while he was about it he discovered a good deal of the new wrinkle. But
 though he terrifies us with his story of
 the extent and ravages of Skoliosis he
 does not leave us without hope for the
 rising generation. Naturally he finds
 remedy in his speciality. He is sure
 that more physical culture will cure
 Skoliosis and almost everything else
 Perhaps he is right. Anyhow, the man
 who could and did discover Skoliosis ought to have the first try at its cure And the try ought to be made before the children get so scared by Skoliosis oy, for not wanting to go to school
