NO DINNER

Relish for food and power to digest it are essential to sound health. When digestion fails, as in dyspepsia, both body and brain are starved and the patient becomes languid and weak, incapable of active, vigorous effort, or clear, sustained thought. Thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup, taken daily after meals, makes food nourish you. As a digestive tonic it has no equal.

DEATH OF A CHINESE.
A Charge of Manslaughter. Man Kum Shing and Man Chan Shing, two lads aged 18 and 13:years respectively, were committed for trial. yesterday on a charge of manslaughter.
It appears that both boys were catching fish in a pool at Shatin, in the new Territory, when the owner of the pool came along and objected to their presence. A row insued, during the course of which Ki Kum Sing, the owner of the pool, received certain injuries. He died on the following day, and the police were informed. Both lads were then arrested. The doctor's evidence showed that death was due to pneumonis, which might have been con- owing to a ruptured spleen. Deceased had a wound on the leg and a mark over the right eye, neither sufficient to cause death.

Gauging by some British public utterances, as reported in the Colonies, there were some eminent speakers, who were still in leading strings, preferring what would lead to foreign trade develop- ment rather than the encouragement of British trade and the best interests of the British Colonies.
