Woodruff. whose. stay here has been shori. Tt is not for us to speak of his administration of the Customs affairs, but his efforts to bring people together and to make social life pleasant in our little port. have been unceasing and withal most successful. If his successor means to equal him as a genial and de- lightful host. he will have no light task. Mr. Parr will be in charge till a new Commissioner is appointed. Mr. Wood- ruff leaves shortly for the States, hav- ing retired from the service to spend, we trust. many hanvy years still with home and friends.’’ In the same column, in the issue of April 6. it says: “The Commissioner. of whose apvroaching departure I told vou, went off by last Kueilee. That he left amid general re- eret goes without saying wherever Mr. Woodruff is known. The Chinese on their part were not behind-hand, in showing how much they had anvpreci- ated his kindly regime. On the evening he left they had a native band dis- coursing music after its kind on the. Customs Bund. a prolonged discharge of crackers and rockets went on while he was going down the beach. while a lighter beautifully lit up with strings of lanterns lay waiting at the ship’s side. Tiniversal good wishes follow him in his retirement.”’ e7_W. H. Bishop, of the Sheffield Scientific School has a story in the May number of the Century.
