they called Thompson S attention to it.
He said hat he would take the books

Closing Scenes Of I'll Hung Chauy's
Life Chinese Rites

Pekin, November THE end of Ii
Hung chang was quiet. His v~ItalitJ
slowly ebbed. For a time he lost on
s~ciousness; but he showed great tenac-
ity. rallied at midnight, became semi
conscious, partook of nourishment and
appeared to recognize his relatives.
The foreign doctors left him early
yesterday, saying hat nothing more
could be lone. His personal physician,
DR.. Watt, then took charge.
The controversy between the foreign
and Chinese doctors had no effect on
the patient, because he was already be-
yond hope of recovery.
The flames of the procession OF pa
per effigies, chairs and horses, burned
in the court yard of the yamen to carry
his spirit to heaven, told the crowd Of
officials who were gathered IN the mar
row street outside the yamen that the
end had come.
Soon afterwards a procession appear
ed behind a costly coffin Of teakwood.
beautifully lacquered. This coffin Ii
Hung Chang took on his trip around
the world and he brought it from Can
ton when he came to Pekin to settle
the Boxer" troubles. Since that time
it had been kept in a temple here.
The body will be placed in the coffin
tomorrow morning with the customary
rites. On Sunday there will be a cere-
mi corresponding to a lying-in-
state, and all the Chinese officials will
pay their respects. A separate day will
be designated for the ministers of the
powers.
The interment will be at the birth
place of the deceased statesman, a little
village in the province Of An-Hui. h
time has o yet been decided upon.

~DIPHTHERIA SERUM.

The newspapers are considering the
very unfortunate experiment of st
Louis with the anti-toxin for diphtheria
Its use produced lockjaw in several
cases, some fatal. This very serious
slip-up will not probably affect the con-
tinued use of the serum. 1t has here
tofore been thoroughly and repeatedly
tested, and with every possible salts
faction. indeed it is known to the med
ical profession that Of all a~nti-toXins
or serums hat have been discovered
for treating diseases h one for diph-
iberia is regarded as safest and :east
Objectionable. The New York Tribune
SAYS:
From every part of the world where
it has been Systematically tried have
come tidings of a reduced mortality. In
Prussia, for instance, the average num-
Der of deaths from diphtheria between
1885 and 1894 was 15.5 in every 10000
portion fell off to 9, &c and &C., respec-
lively. The use of of Behring's anti
toxin first became general in that coun-
try in 1895. The reduction in mortality
from this cause in the leading cities of
America during the last decade Is
something like 00 or bO per cent, ana
is almost exclusively attributed TO the
introduction of the remedy"
1t is o a new thing it seems for
some trouble like hat in st. Louis to
occur 1t has been the experience now
and then of localities in Europe, we
learn. In several Italian towns lock-
jaw or tetanus occurred from its use.
The Tribune states that as a result a
wild panic in las December occurred.
Investigation showed that all of the
an%ti-toxin whose use had been attended
with such unhappy consequences be-
longed to a single lot of 800 tubes 1t
had been manufactured at the national
meteorological laboratory, IN the man
agement of which a change had recent
~ taken place. 1t was made in Sep
TENDER and distributed late in Novem-
Der. But as soon Is its character be-
came evident steps were aiken to re-
cover all which was yet unused. 1t was
asserted that this particular lot of anti
toxin was the only one which had ever
made mischief in Italy, although the
same institution had previously sent
out no less than $50, 900 tubes. And since
that time no further complications have
been reported"
