Mr.. Arthur has Ito limits, and one night
shortly after midnight, he suddenly ap-
reared like q very able-bodied appart-

Very kindly, but in . manner that
could not be misunderstood, he told
them that he objected to being kept un-

their respective papers next morning
that they had seen him. For obvious
reasons not one of them disregarded the

''See that We love one another"
was the motto in flowers extend
ing across the platform Of the
Peoples Church, in West Fifty
third street, the other night, at the first
dublic entertainment ever given In this
city by the members Of . Chinese Sum
day School. The platform was covered
with screens and flowers and Chinese
paintings and tea-store inscriptions on
blue silk banners, which were said TO he
the LORDS Prayer" the "'ren Com
mandments" and the "Constitution Of
the Y. M. e. A." The pulpit end of the
church resembled in it's spleAdor Of
bright colors and quaint design an OIL
entail bazaar. When the scholars recited
passages Of Scriptures they were as awk-

School children of small growth on the
momentous occasion of their debut; but
when they got at their national instru-
ments they were quite at home much

there. Whatever there was that was
heathenish and rarbaric, not to say bar
barous in their music, no trace Of pa
ganism was discoverable in another
part Of the ceremonies; the orthodox
alacrity with which the contribution
boxes were passed proved how rapidly
and ehectually they had been civilized
and christianixed. A lady speaker,
who takes = personal and practical
interest in the Chinese, said she
wished that al our Congressman should
be present.
