MAN OF 30 WILL
 SURVIVE SHOCK
Forbears of Andrew l.. Hull Gave Name to Hull's Farms,
 From Whence Stricken
 Man Came.

Returning to her home at 34s John street, last evening shortly after 6 o'clock, Mrs. Andrew L. Hull was shocked to find her husband lying prostrate upon the kitchen floor. She had left the house about 3 o'clock in the afternoon on a brief shopping trip, at which time MT. Hull, who is man about 30 years of age, appeared to be in his usual good health. At first Mrs Hull believed her husband dead. But pr. s. M. Gar1ick found that he was merely unconscious because of a stroke of apoplexy. This afternoon MT. Hull was much improved and will probably recover from the shock.
 MT. Hull has been resident of this city for four years, coming from Hulls Farms where he was born, and where the family had been prominent for many years, the locality being named in their honor. He is descendant of Dr. Hull. who made his home in that district. MT. Hull, though 30 years of age, possesses a remarkable vital ity, and up to the present time has al- ways enjoyed good health.

U. $. ADMIRAL NON

Nicaraguan Insurgent t S Charge that He Is Biased In Favor of Madriz and the Government.

 of the United Press.
 B1uefields, (via wireless to Colon), Jan. 29.-Admiral Kimbau, in com mand of the American eet in Nicara- guan waters. is accused today by both the natives and American residents, of undue friendliness to President Madriz and, intense indignation against him has resulted.
 The Admirals warning to American residents in Nicaragua to take no part in the revolution under penalty of for feiting the protection of the United States, is construed as meaning a jus tification by Admiral Kimball of the execution of Groce and Cannon, the Americans, who were shot to death after being courtmartialed.
 It is presumed that the Admiral is acting under instructions from the American State Department, which gives rise to the fear in this revolu- tionary stronghold that the United States will recognize the presidency of Madriz.
 Confirmation of the defeat of Gen eral Vasquez by General Chamerro, the revolutionary leader, in a battle at Santa Tomas. was received here today. The defeat of VasqueZ amounted to a complete rout.
 Bluefields. Jan. 29-General Chamer- TO is seriously wounded. However, physicians say. he will probably not die.

A STRIKE IN OLD EGYPT.
There Was Trouble In the Building
 Trade In Pharaoh's Day.

nefe was ffouplo Tn the Building
 Trade In Pharaoh's Day.
 Egyptian history discloses the details of labor difficulty at Thebes in the year HOO B. c. The strike was in the building trades, and the strikers were masons. They were paid in rations. and they claimed that these were in sufficient to sustain them and their families until the following pay day.
 On the 10th of the month they laid down their tools and gathered behind a chapel. "We are hungry" they said, "and there are eighteen days before the next pay day" They charged the paymasters with dishonesty, saying that they gave false measure. The paymasters charged the men with want of foresight in feasting too well while the rations lasted.
 After long discussion the men decid- ed to return to work on condition that Pharaoh himself investigate the mat ter. Two days later Pharaoh came to the temple and decided that the ma sons should have their wages raised at once. For a little while all went well, but evidently the paymasters did not live up to their agreement, for on the 9th of the next month the strike was again in full force, and for three whole days not a tool was lifted.
 The strikers decided to go out to the public with their troubles, 4 but they found themselves locked in the temple. Then they broke out and rushed into the streets, frightening pedestrians as they paraded the thoroughfares.

The Gems Vary Greatly In Size, Shape
 and Quality.
 When the pearls are taken from the dead fish they are first sorted accord ing to size This is done by passing them through set of ten small brass sieves, called baskets, with meshes ot varying sizes. Pearls of the first class that are perfect both in sphericity and in luster are called ami. Those of the second class, that to the average ob server seem equally without flaw, are anitari, and most of the pearls we see in the west and on general sale come under this head. Of the third class called masauku, are those that are somewhat irregular in shape and trifle off in color, but that are valuable for use in clusters and are largely used by eastern artifcers in mountings of various sorts Rural is the double or twinned pearl, which, when of good luster and sufficiently freakish shape is sometimes enormously valuable. In this class the most wonderful speci- men on record is the great Southern Cross pearl, which is in reality nine pearls naturally grown together and forming perfect cross an inch and a half long. It was found of the coast of Western Australia in 1874. Many seed pearls and rejections, called va divu, are generally ground into chu- nam and used as an ingredient in a favorite sweetmeat. From China also comes heavy demand for seed pearls and in India bushels of them literally are used in the decoration of idols and sacred images and of weapons as we'll -Everybody's.
