Reports of the Invasion of China by American brewers are being received t>y the Anti-Saloon league. According to The Far Eastern Republic mission aries write that Americans are plan ning to Introduce the saloon with a free lunch service for the price of a "schooner of suds."

He then righted his machine and the next move It plunged down tbe eiubankmeut, the rear wheel of the automobile almost touching the railroad cross ties when it landed. The oar was badly damaged. Of the six negores in the car fWe were hurt, three of whom are seriously in jured, and another one died from the effects of hl$ Injuries this morning about 3 o'clock. We understand that two of thoso Injured will probably die, little hope being entertained for their recovery. All of those injured were brought to Chester and placed i'n- the Chester Sanltorium.
