"An Epedition from the United Ofts" .WL Visit the Island and Make a Extended Search for the A Uidden Millions. The yacht Hayseed, under the com rmand of Capt. August Gisler, recently sailed from Stockton, bound for Cocos island, four hundred miles southwest of Panama. The object of Capt. Oisler's visit to the distant isle is to endeavor to discover the spot where gold and silver coins, plate and jewelry to the alleged value of sixty million dollars were buried by pirates nearly seventy years ago. Capt. Oisler, says the San Prancisbo Chronicle, expects to reach his destina tion after thirty-two days' sailing. The length of his stay at the island will de pend upon the work undertaken. The island will first be surveyed under the direction of Capt. Gisler, who owns con Miderable property on the place, The buried treasure will be hunted for on a secret plan in the captain's possession. Capt. Gisler spent four years on the island, and during tat time made a vigorous search for the gold. lie is con fidont of success, and is deterinined to keep up his search. ris will be his fourth trip to the island. fle left there in May, 1890. On that visitsho and three companies subsisted for five mionths on wild hogs, .ish and sea birds while awaiting the vessel aent to Valparaiso for supplies. ' % The captain Imade a contract with"the Costa Rica governament to populate the barrea island within five years, and he proposes to do this work in connection with Lhe search for the hidden wealth. A month ago lie went to Stockton to imeet A. 0. Viertong, who claims to have a "gold illdietor," by which the Preselnce of the buried gold can be dis covered. ('apt. Gisler looked upon the "indicator" favorably, and made an agreeient uider which Viertong will Uccomipany himll to Cocos island. -Cap)t. Gisler will have with hini Joseph- teine, a blacksmith; John liamlin, an Englishman, and an old sailor, who will he the mate of the Hayseed; August Weiste, the cook, and Andrew dohnson, an able seaman. These men, with the exception of Reine, have accoipanied ('apt. Gisler to Cocos island on several previous trips, and they know what to expect on such an expeditioin. Tly believe they will be successful, ,and are willing to make the trip without a dollar of wages and take 4an1es on unearthing the gold. The cook, Weviste, is so certain of suc vess ihat lie cam1lie0 a rouinabout way from Germi1any to join the treasure seekers lie ]earned that Gisler was organzing a co,m1pany, and to reach C.alifornia lie sailed to Australia, and froam tlere worked his passage to Cali fornia. When eli arrived in this port I' Was told by the German consul that tisler was in Stockton , and he found the captain there at work on the Hay seed. Two men who could not be ac counodated on Ile yacht will go by the PacifiC mail steamer to Costa Rica, where the llayseed will stop and pick them upi. (Isler will carry about fifteen tons of riulpplies. lie purehalSed in Stockton about. two tousami pounds of flour, d5.'Wa fruit and canned meats and other - 'ticl es.

Jan. 18.-A dread. ful accident occurred at the crossing near Lonadale on the ProvIdence and Worces ter Railroad at 1:30 this morning. A sleighing party from Pawtucket, return. lng from a dance and supper at Woon. socket was struck by the locomotive of .' a frlit train. Eight persons were in atantL killed and sixteen were injured. Of the inj ured it is feared that eight or ten will die. Bishop P. F. Utevens filled the pul .it of 8t Paul's Methodist Church lat 2uday evening, and preached a most 4E00ilnt sermon. BEARDS NOT, MADE TO ORDER. Nature Is a Good Artist, and It is Best to 14t Thoen Grow. Naturany. "Most men," said the learned French barber, according to the New York Sun, "Imagine that they can control the di rection In which their beards grow by shaving. That is absurd. If you will take a microscope and examine the face of a baby a week old you will see that the cheeks and chin are covered with very fine soft hairs, invisible to the a naked eye. The direction in which they turn will never be changed. If the child is a male those hairs will con stitute the beard when it grows to be a t man. If it is of the other sex, they will make the down which the Ioe-ts praise. Frequently men come to ie and express a desire toohave the sla-t. of their beards altered by clanging the direction in which the hairs grow. To all of these I say only: " 'Messieurs, what you ask canint be. All the curling irons and razors in the i world are powerless against, the decree of nature. Moreover it would he fo,)l ish for you to make such a ebanage even y though it were possible. Nature is a good artist, and if her ideas are fol lowed the result is alwa.ys good. A little training here or there ii;y 1 ti beneficial, but the general plan of na ture should be followed and not op posed, Be thankful, messieurs, that y you have beards and do not try to ruin them.' So, too, I tell those with t straight beards who wish to make thetm t curly, and those with curly beards whotr wish to have them straight. It is pos sible to curl straight hair, and 0 also to straighten curly hair, but the effect is temporary and more or lcss in jurious." C THE LAUGH ON THE COMEDIAN.

Cala.mity in Ohina, SA N FuR ANCIS(;O, Jan. 13.- A Can ton '. correspondenit sends thiA ac':ount of ai' terrible disaster in a country town a bout fifty miles from Canton, which occuired early last month, and resulted in the loss of nearly 2,000 lives. A band of robbers made a raid on the village of Kal-in-shir-bing dilstrict. T1hey fIrst levied a tri bute of several thousand taels on priest of the temple. The latter had just received large offerings from the people, who were having a holiday with a dramatic entertainment under a big shed temporarilly erected in front of the temple. The angry robbers applied torches to this shed, and the people in panic rushed into the temple for refumge. The main entrance of the temple, which was of wood, caught fIre from the heat of the burning shed, and over 1,400 men, wonien and children were either burn ed, smothered or trampled under feet. Most of the fatalities resulted from suf focation, as a strong wind blew the smoak into tbe temple. At the time of* this writing, the rolls of missing num bered 1,940, and it may be that some of thes wore burned beyond recognition. The disaster is the worst that has oc curred in k3onth Cihina foeal years senator zrby in new York. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-&nator J 1. Irby,'of south0a&rolins, and Congq aanl John L.
