TYPHOON WARNING.

Honie:

Many Far Eastern residents will learn with sincere regret that their | friend, Edward Woodruff Tilden, best known to them as "Tilly," has passed away in Guernsey, Channel Islands, the immediate CRUIS of his death being aneurism of the heart. Mr. Tilden brought his wife and son over to England,. from France, after the outbreak of war, and placed his son, Ted, in a college în Guernsey. After staying some time in London, during which time several of their old China and Japan friends hnit the pleasure of meeting them again, Mr. and Mrs. Tilden went to Guernsey to spenilTM the Christmas holidays with their son, and it was shortly after this that Mr. Tilden contracted the illness from which he never recovered. Mr. Tilden, who was a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, went out to Japan on leaving the U.S. Navy and entered the office of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company in Yokchama in 1887, and he married Miss Ella Divers, second daughter of Dr. Edward, Divers, F.R.S., of Tokyo, in 1893. He went to Kobe to take charge of the Agency of the P.M.8. Company at that port in 1896, In 1902 he went to Hongkong and there took charge of his Company's interests unti! he left that Colony for his native country In 1907. After residing for some years in Washington, D.C., Mr. and Mrs. Tilden went to live in Europe, principally in France, where Mrs. Tilden's brother- in-law and sister, Comte and Comtesse de Lubri reside. Throughout the Far East Mr. Tilden was well-known and beloved by all these who had the privilege of his. acquaintance, either in business or in social circles, and there are few men possessing such charm of character as that which endorsed "Tilly" to his largo circle of friends. Those who have sur vived him will feel very sincere sympathy for the loving wife who shared with him many years of his life amongst them, as well as for his son.
