PHYSICAL CULTURE LECTURE
BERNARR MACFADDEN AT F0Y AUDITORIUM.

Value of Physical Cuiture-Evlls Com
 mon In Everyday Life-Value of Ex-
 ercise-Outdoor Sports and Gymnast-
 um Exercises-Exhibition of Physi-
 cal Development.
 Bernarr MacFadden, the editor of Physical Culture" and Health and Beauty" who is completing his annual lecture tour, delivered his address on Evils and Their Cure, before an ap- preciative audience in the Foy audito- rum last evening.
 MT. MacFadden began by speaking of the value of physical culture. He spoke in depreciatory manner of the use of medicines and drugs, and did not be- lieve in the use of medicine. He said that people sometimes said that the reason he did not appreciate medicine was because he didn't know much about it, which accusation he admitted, but he said he did know considerable about physical culture.
 . He then proceeded to enurerate cer- tain common evils which tend to inl- pair a persons physical condition, such as the use of alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee. Speaking of alcohol, he said that the only good use ne had ever heard of for alcohol was that which was made of it in Kansas. There when a person was bitten by rattlesnake, he said, they poured whiskey into him and made him deaf, dumb and blind drunk, so that tine poison Of the aIco- hol would act as an antidote to the poison of the rattlesnake; which he considered an excellent proof of the po- tency of alcoholic poison, which could overcome even the poison of the rattle- snake.
 Tobacco, he declared, benumbs and befogs the brain, and although one may be so strong as not to be affected visibly by 1t for years, yet it will tell inevitably in the end. One must not use tobacco if he would be hearty in old age and really live and not barely exist, eating and sleeping only.
 Tea and coffee he characterized as being considered slight evils, but if three or four cups were used at meal one might as we'll drink beer. Many

OBITUARY NOTES
Chinese Missionary Laid st Rest in
 Evergreen Cemetery.


 In Evergreen cemetery all that is mortal of cheung John Lee. who suc- .cumbed to a stroke of apopIexy Sat urday at his home, S1 Howe street, was interred yesterday afternoon. The fun eral of this well known chinaman was not accompanied by any of the ancient customs of China. On the contrary, the funeral was of the Christian character, the deceased having been for years one Of the most deyout members of St. Paul's Episcopal church. of which he became member in 1882. when great many Chinamen joined the Sunday school class conducted there by ex-As- .sessor Charles A. Baldwin. The dead Chinaman was of the well known and extensive Cheung family, having been born in Canton in 1850. It is the GUS taom when a member of that family dies for the relatives to send to the be- reayed assurances that they will be supported thereafter, even though the one they loved is dead. This assurance is generally. sent by the relatives soon after death and assumes the form of a sugar symbol. It is understood that a sugar symbol has been sent to Mrs. Lee, who is not Chinese, by the mem bers of the Cheung family, who reside here and in Hartford, but when a re- porter asked regarding it he was told that 1t had not yet arrived.
 The funeral was conducted by the Rev. MT. Perry, rector of the church, and his assistant, the Rev. MT. Bell, at 3 o'clock, the majority of the ninety eight odd Chinese in the city partici- pating in the service, but as Christians instead of heathens. The funeral was to be held to-day. but was arranged for yesterday in order to suit the conven- fence of the countrymen of the deceas- ed, who are engaged in laundering. and who have some time to spare on Mon days Services were held at the church, the pallbearers being chosen from the Brotherhood of St. Andrew.
 The body reposed in full European dress in full state, black broadcloth casket, which was literally embowered with flowers There were crosses and wreaths of cut flowers galore, attesting the high esteem in which the deceased was held by the Brotherhood of St. An drew of St. Pauls church, and other of his friends.
