Rumril, w.ho for more than fifty years was Yankee king of cannibals in the far-off Marquesas islands in the South ern Pacific. Although he died a year ago, his family here has just been noti fied. Rumril I was 70 years of age and had a native wife ami children. His last thoughts took him back to the home of his boyhood and his kindred, and giving a mission ary friend the name and address of a sister, who yet lives in the old New England home, he ex pressed a desire that she be im formed of his feeble condition and that he had died a Christian. Tt was from this missionary that a letter was received by Rum rill’s. sister Mrs. J. R. Nason, of Roxbury, giving some details of Rumrills last days. Rumri)l whs born in Boston in the early thirties of the last cen tury. Rove of the sea induced him in 1847 to ship on board a New Bedford whaler, which dis appeared after rounding Cape Horn. Upward of forty years had passed since he sailed away when one day a naval officer called upon Mrs. Nason with news of her bro ther,^ The officer said that his ship had the year before stopped for water off" the town of Talohae, on Nuku- Vtlrd' one of the Marquesas group, and he had there met the king of the islands, who, to his surprise addressed him in rather awkward English. The king was to all ap pearances one of the natives. One side of his face from the cen ter of his forehead down was tat tooed in native designs and char acters. and he had the swarthy DOCTORS say “Consumption can be cured.” Nature alone won’t do it. It needs help. Doctors say “Scott’s Emulsion Is the best help.” But you must continue its use, even in hot weather. If you hnvr tun tried It, .end for free sample. SCOTT tOWNK, Chemist*, *39-4.1.

His story, as the naval officer re peated it, was as follows: The whaling ship on which he sailed was wrecked off' one of the Marquesas. All on hoard were drowned except Humrill and four or five of his comrades. The survivors were seized by the natives, who determined to serve them up as a grand feast. The news was sent by courier to different parts of the islands and the rest of the inhabitahts were invited to the banquet. Before being dished up each one of tbe captives were bound secure ly and subjected to the slow, tor turing process of being tattooed from head to foot on one side of the body, the dividing line being drawn straight down the center of the forehead. The rule was that should he survive he should not be killed. Rumrill’s comrades succumbed, and were eaten, but he survived and became a favorite with the king and the natives. In course of time he learned the native lan guage and customs, and taught the natives many useful things. Above all, he sought to abolish their cannibalistic practices, and in this he was largely successful. The old king died, leaving Rum rill his successor. At the time of the American war ship’s visit Rumrill was near ly sixty. He told the visitor that lie had lived so long in the islands and had been so thoroughly im bued with the spirit of the life of the islanders that he had no de sire to return to his old home. Indeed, in his tattooed state it would have been impossible for him to return to civilization and live in any comfort. One wish he did have, and that was that his visitor on returning to the United States should call at his old home in Roxbury, seek his sister, and if alive, givo her greetings from her long lost bro ther. He also desired that she should write to him. Mrs. Nason at once wrote her brother a long long letter, and af ter many months it reached its destination. Rumrill wrote back, giving more details of his long life on the islands, and for a time the correspondence was kept up, though the letters from Rumrill were few.

THE BARNEBVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1902. “Goodbye Dear Old Stepstone, Goodbye!” Among the varied experiences jof a life of over fifty years the recent fiery ordeal through which 11 have passed stands out distinct and apart from all others. Life can never be the same to me, for the dear old “homestead,” with 'all its sacred and sweet associations exists only in memory now. The home where father, mother, brothers, sisters, husband and children made the life of t.he long ago so bright and beautiful; the home where sunshine, shadow, prosperity and adversity, joy and sorrow were alike, enjoyed and suffered together, has succumbed to the inevitable change, decay, and only a pile of melancholy ruins marks the spot so dear to our hearts. How well do I remember the happy day when we moved into the then new home, planned and built by a loving, indulgent father, who lived only for the welfare and happiness of his wife and children. A few short months only, was he permitted to share tlie home with us, then his brave heroic spirit went up to the God who gave it. In less than two years our gen tle, sweet-spirited mother joined him in the heavenly home above. With the elasticity of young and bouvant life and the knowledge that these two who were lovely and pleasant in their lives and in death not long divided, the cloud gradually lifted, bringing again the sunshine. How vain would be the attempt to express my love and appreciation for these two. Language fails to give expression to the deepest feeling of the heart, but I am animated by the hope that some sweet day in a fairer clime than this, and where there will be no lamentations, I will sit at their dear feet and give them the homage of my heart. Inside the old walls and under its hospitable roof little children WR re born and reared, the floors resounding to the tread of patter ing feet, and the whole housp was filled with the music of childish laughter. Two of the dear little ones lingered for only a brief time and then their little feet strayed away into the paradise of God, taking with them much of the sunshine of life. The others have grown and developed into noble manhood and sweet womanhood, left the old home roof, bid good bye to the dear old step-stone, and are scattered north, south and west endeavoring, I believe, to so'lve the true meaning of life; earnest, true and loya 1 to the les sons learned at mother sknee, and imitating the example of a father A grain of sand in the eye can cause excruciating agony. A grain of pepper in place of the grain of sand intensifies the torment. The pain is not confined to the organs affected. The whole body feels the shock of that little irritating part derangement or disorder of the delicate womanly organs. The disorder may seem trival but the whole body feels it. The nervous system is disordered. There are fretfulness, irritability, sullenness and depression of spirits. The gen eral health of woman depends on the local health of the organs jh>- euliarlv feminine. Remove the drains, ulcerations, bearing down pain.s and other afflictions of wo man. and the whole body feels the benefit.

BASKBALU Forsytli Will Moot the Locals Here Friday. The manager of the Barnesville baseball team has arranged a game for Friday afternoon with the Forsyth team, the game to he played on the diamond here. The Forsyth team is a fine set of ball players and as the locals are in tine trim no doubt the game will be a good one. A large crowd i9 expected out to see the game. who was the embodiment of all that is noble and good. The twenty years of happy mar ried life lived within these walks is too sacred to recall. It would be cruel indeed to open afresh the wound that has never healed ; the deep, vital, wound, made so sud denly, leaving me alone and adrift upon life’s tempestuous sea I —no, I cannot say alone, for I would be disloyal to that one who has promised to be a husband to the widow', a father to the father less, and who has been my pilot through all the years. “Asa mother stills her child Thou canst hush the ocean wild. Boisterous waves obey thy will When thou sayest peace be still!” ] Six times lias the old house lis-1 tened to the joyous peal of wed ding bells, and throughout the years that have come and gone, bringing with them the changes that are incidental to this life, our hearts have ever clung fondly to the old “home, sweet home.” As the years go by I realize more and more that, “there is nothing true but heaven” and how vain it is to set one’s affection on things of earth. The world is very beautiful to me still, and while I know the happiest part of my life is behind me, and that the roses of happiness w r ill not bloom along my path as of yore, yet “the lilliea of peace kiss my tired feet.” With God’s help I am stepping upward, and hope that at the end of the days I will be given a title to one of the many mansions that will be proof againt fire and des truction ; a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. I wish to give expression to the gratitude I feel for the help ren dered by kind neighbors and friends amid the terror and con fusion of that awful night. To the colored people, who gave valuable service, I am indebted, especially to the one whose warn ing voice rang out upon the mid night air, arousing us from slum ber and saving us perhaps from a horrible death. Every sweet word of sympathy emphasized by many acts of kindness is fully apprecia ted, and while the dear old house with many other things that money cannot replace has perish ed in the flames, I feel that God is good, and while counting the many blessings yet left to me, I feel that life is still w'ortli the living. With God to strengthen and up lift, I will try to Bury my sorrow, let others be blest, give them the sunshine, tell Jesus the rest. Mrs. 8. E. Cook. An fdntenainment. On last Wednesday afternoon quite a number of young people were entertained very delightfully at the home of Col. and Mrs. J. M. Smith, on Forsyth street, in honor of their niece, Miss Susie Dean Howard, of Holton. The program of the entertain ment consisted of several amusing games, some of which were played on the lawn in front of the dwell ing. After indulging in these for a considerable time, delightful re* freshments were served. The party, after paying flattering res pects to all that constituted the repast, then dispersed. The lack of space renders us un able to mention the names of all present, but to say they enjoyed the occasion highly goes without contradiction.
