that falsehood about the Chinese not
paying any money where they make
it. do not wonder that many of
them send nome their money and do
not make large investments in this
country. How much,es your money

you were not allowed citizenship

But, it is objected, they use such

crime of which our nation is not
very much guilty. l think in this
We may learn something from the
Chinese. They are not only econ

course, they ought to be punished.

And this brings me to tell you
what saw and heard Of the glorious
work being done among the Chinese
in San Francisco. My first Sabbath
morning spent in Chinese mission
church, and had there the cpportu-
nifty and joy Of telling these Mongo-
lians of Him who came. not an
American Christ, nor a Chinese
Christ, nor German Christ, nor a
French Christ, nor an Italian Christ,
nor Spanish Christ, but the round
worlds Christ. There they stand
this morning, doing a work re-
nowned in heaven, though little ap.
preciated on earsh--the Presbyterian
Mission of DR.. Loomis, the Metho-
dist Mission on Washington street,
the Congregational Mission near the
Park, the Episcopalian Mission, and
other great charities. The Chinese
make grand Christians, and there are
many Of them, and there viii! be
50O,00O,000 of them yet, whsE ac.
cording to the prophecy the land Of
Sinih shall surrender to the One
God. Will not this generation of
Christians seem small enough and
contemplate enough in the future;
whom it shall be found out that .hese
Mongolians were brought here, not
so much by the stigmatized Six Chi
nese Companies, but by the God Of
the Bible, to have them Christian
iaed and then multitudes of them
sent back for the evangelization of
their native country. Now, my
friends, these Chinese are either our

iors. If they are inferior, there is

encouraged the lawless and discontinued ele-
ment, advised them to parade the streets,
and endeavored to keep Them in such dis
an outbreak whenever it should suit
his purpt SEES; that he has fmpeached the hon
esty of the whole community, accused various
branches Of the City Government of corrup-
pretense of eounseiing the mob against viO-
lence. insidiOusly advised them to be in readi-
ness for bl0Odshed and the overthrow of the
authorities. They expressed the opinion that
KallOch is interruptions and unprincipled. and
devoid of integrity and fidelity to the public
the Board to express its condemnation of his
acts, and recommend that prompt action be
taken to vindicate the fair fame of the NUM-
cipality by judicial inquiry into .KallOch's
case. s-s |

Mayor Kalloch, who announced that it was
carried. - -
resolution was then adopted authorizing

moval from office, and empowering it to en-
plOy counsel and prosecute the matter to q

NEW YORK, MAY 3.

NEW i ORks May D.
James Redpath, in a letter from
Mayo, Ireland, tells this story:
Walter NJ. Bourke is the largest landlord
proprietor in Clare, and his tenants are the
poorest people in it. He borrowed 4lOO from
the Board Of Works to give employment to
his tenants. He employed those tenants who
had not paid their rent, and agreed to pay
them six shillings per week, but he kept it for
rent due"
Speaking of the people, the writer says:

The Man Who Found Some Money.

HE other day very common look
ing man, dressed in very common
clothes, entered saloon on Woodward
avenue at moment when the proprie-
tor was alone and asked him to lock the
door for moment and count the con-
tents of a pocketbook which he had just
picked up on the street. The door was
locked, and as fat-lOoking wallet was
handed out the stranger said:
IL can't read nor write nor tell fig
gers, but know you won't cheat me-"
The money counted up just one hum
dred dollars. There were two twenty
dollar bills, and the rest were of smaller
denominations. The stranger said he
would hand the wallet over to the po-
lice, and thanked the saloonist and
departed. In about a quarter of an
hour he returned and conidentially
said:
81 gave up all the money but ten
dollar bill. which Pm going to keep for
my honesty. Let's drink"
He threw down one of the twenty
dollar bills and drank his, beer. 1t was
remembered that he had said he
couldn't tell the figures on the bills, and
he was given change for ten dollars.
"Was that five or temp he
asked, as the twenty was put away.
"Oh, that's ten," was the reply.
The man drank once more, and then
took his leave. In the course of an
hour detective was looking for him
