dications and clues now point to ,he
aidentity of the man who jumped over
beard from the steamer City Of Erie
onslast Thursday night as named S1lls
and IA membe Of prominent whole
sale grocery firm in New York.
Yesterday Captain Hugh McAlpln.
of the City of Erie, received a letter
from n Ohm s. Sills, of Eighth avenue

y The letter said that the writer's broth
sSer had left home on May 18th last in
tending to jump overheard for the eli
8pose5of commit suicide. Nothing
has been heard Of the man since that
date.
II the letter was a photograph Of
missing man. The picture was
shown to several members of the crew
of the City Of Erie and they identified
the picture as being that of the man
who jumped overheard last Thursday.
harIesS Baler, the bell boy who held
I him back, says he is sure that it is
the man Also the letter contained a
printed circular Offering 5000 reward
far the information as to the where
bouts Of the missing man.
This gave accurate description Of
person, and this description TALES
with that given by the men who saw

TONERS.

Everybody in Fairmont knows the
good qualities OF dish Of Jim Martins
delicious ice cream. He has been,
for number of years. leader in the
ice cream and soda fountain business.
as well as in the drug business. He
furnishes ice cream to nearly all the
fountains and parlors in the city and
has a large shipping trade.
We are glad to know that he has
started up a new drug store in the
Yost building on Fairmont avenue.
This is one of the best fitted up drug
stores in the state. The woodwork is
cherry with mahogany finish. The
fountain is one of Green's latest make
In the rear is being fitted up par
Tor where people can be served away
from the noise of the street.
A full line of drugs, patent medicines
and perfumes are carried, and pre-

HUGE DUCK FARMS.
They Are to BE Seen on All the Wa
teryvnys Of China.

They Are to BE Seen on All the Wa
tervvays Of China.
Enormous focks of tame ducks. num-
berins many thousands. are to be seen
on all the waterways of China. These
are carefully herded by the duck
farmer and his sons and guided by
them to suitable feeding grounds. "A
recent writer speaks of seeing them
on the Yangtse in midstream. floating
down in compact masses with the rae
ing current and surrounded by their
guardians in tubs. who. armed With
long bnmboos. srlartly whacked any
birds that happened to stray.
These ducks always appear to be o.
the same age. curious fact that is eN-
plainel by the Chinese use of incuba~
tors on Il large scale. They are very
chary about revealing details. but it
would appear that these incubators are
either made of manure and lime in the
open air or in rooms heated by char
coal fires, the eggs in this case being
nlaccd in baskets covered with straw
or cotton wool.
To illustrate the magnitude OF these
operations it may be mentioned that q
boat on Il river will sometimes encoun-
ter Il floating mass of egsSheils num-
boring tens OF thousands and coming
from an incubator where ducks nave
lust been Matched.

The umbrella tree is found in Ceylon
in greater profusion than anywhere
else in the world as Il matter OF Scien-
tific fact. these trees grow to their
greatest height and attain to their
grea test size in very wet, rainy coun-
tries. This growth frequently is due
to the fact that the tree requires
great deal of moisture and not because
it is needed to keep off the rain The
tree forms so complete an umbrella
that 4 number of persons might take
shelter under it's spreading branches.
The foliag &c is. us 4 rule. so thick that it
serves to keep off the rain almost per-
fectly even in Il heavy downpour.
