would no; make any further prediction s
in" the weather until October, and said
that all his communications to the news

THE first party Of twenty-five Chinese
students who left Hartford for their homes
arrived in Chicago yesterday. They said
they had finished the stadies for which
they were sent to this country. One rea-
son given BY them for being summoned
home is that the military and naval acad-
emies in this country are clos I'd to them. As
Germany allows them to enter her institu-
tions, they will probably be sent hereafter
to that country or to England. Nine of
their party have changed their fait:,
(become Christians y in America.

The editor of that paper says tue penchant
displayed hy young women tLere, of re.
spectacle palentage. toward Irritation
with the "lecherous dapper drummers,"
with which the city is infested, is one OF
the alarming signs of the times, and calls
loudly for a halt upon the g free and easy"
manner that is characteristic Of such a
large proportion Of the young women as
they promenade the thoroughfares Of
Reading. The Eagle man is down on the

EVANGELIST MOODY is enieavorins to
make it Sunday all the while at Noriield,
Mass, where hc and Evangelists Whittle,
Sankey, and others are holding three relig-
ious meetings of various kinds every day.
This is not directly movement t. convert
sinners, but summer gathering of Chris
tian workers for recreation and improve
ment. The clergymen Of the region hold
aloof, staying away from the services. and
discouraging their people from attending :;
but the gatherings arc, nevertheless, Of
considerable size, being composed largely
of visitors from a distance. Mr.. Moody
retaliates upon the clergy by such remarks
as these: 81 don't believe man can
preach Christ acceptably and preach and
work in Sunday school, and attend funerals,
and meetings, and lawn parties where they
dance, and fairs where they have grab
bags. The Holy Ghost sets man apart
from the world.''
