DEATH OF AN OLD SHANGHAI, RESIDENT.

THE LATE MR. E. P. WICKHAM,

It is with very deep regret that we have to announce that 'Mr. Edwart Provis Wickham passed away late on Saturday night after a long and weary illness borne with exemplary patience and fortitude, says the N. C. D. Nejus. Mr. Wickham came to Shanghai from Australia, whither circumstances had taken him from England, his native country, some twenty years ago, and shortly after his arrival joined the firm of Beelock & Co., in which he remained for many years, having only lately established himself in business, as the repre- sentative of a Japanese firm of colliery proprie.. tors. A thoroughly upright genial gentleman, Mr. Wickham rapidly became a favourite in Shanghai, and his marriage to Miss Phillippe increased his popularity. He was a lover of sport and an ardent 'volunteer, his services to the Light Horse having been of the most de- voted and valuable character. The dance which that gallant unit had announced for this even. ing is of course postponed. Mr. Wickham was at one time Adjutant of the S.V.C. What adds to the sadness of his premature death is the fact that his widow,, who has the sympathy of all Shanghai in her loss, is herself seriously ill, and it has been at great personal risk that she has been able to attend upon her husband us the end drew near.

The men lined up on each side of the Bund, immediately in front of the Consulate where Lieut.-Colonel Valette, who rode a magnificent charger, dis- mounted. Here were gathered the Consul General, M.

The woman denies having attempted to com mit suicide, and alleges that she was cutting a Chinese pear when the ship rolled, causing her. to slip, and accidentally inflict the cut on her self, but the wound is of such a'nature tha! it is apparent it was not an accident.

ENGLISH AS SHE IS WROTE IN JAPAN:

The tollowing gem is culled from the columns of a Nagasaki vernacular paper, the Kayshu finodi Shimbun, which rejoices tu an English column. As will, be noted, the new editor makes many resolutions for the new year, and we trust that he may long live to have the. honour of stating his sentiments of a word

NEW YEAR'S ADDRESS. (Ascending upon the platform by writing my sense)

I have just welcomed with much joy the beginning of spring of the 15th year of Meiji, after a revolution of the axis of the earth.

The Imperial virtue is higher on the top of another; and all the poeple get intoxicated with the fragrance of a special sake (Toso)."

Long live! Long livet Long live these words shall not be ended even repeating year after year.

..

I have respectfully to congratulate Long live His Majesty the Emperor and pray for in- numerable blessings of all the readers.

The New Years' address has already ended and I have some thing feeling for the New Year's day; sull'more I am now about to ascend. on the pluform of our Kyushu Hinede Simbun after entering this town with my handwriting carried from far; why can I not have an address of a word ?

..

Nagasaki is the original place of our country's " civilization where everything began and every art arose if our compatriots should once re. Hemte our newest history of civilization and. peruse the origin of its development, it shall be much known bow she afforded a consider- able tributes to the civilization of our country,

She became for a long time as a focus of the world, the oriental gate and the commercial market of our country these thres hundred
