great deal Of the rioting now going on
In China seems to manifest itself first in at
tacks upon the missionaries. In these at
tacks no discrimination is made be-
tween denominations and sects, the Catholic
missions, which have been established In
China for many years. being sacked as freely
as those of the Pedestrians. The New York
Freeman's Journal and Catholic Review
publishes this week curious proclamation
issued by some Of these rioters, who a-e
spoken of as "Chinese Know-nothings )"
This placard was posted conspicuously over
the city of Wu-hu just before the riot there,
and is an interesting commentary on the SUI
perstitiors and suspicious natures of the
Chinese. 1t begins,
Wu-hu is treaty port thickly populated with
foreigners, who cause people injury to such an
scribe. Women are procured from other places
and PAID TO abduct children, whose eyes aud in
testlnes are taken out and whose hearts and kid
neys are cut of. What crimes have these limo
cent children committed that they should suffer
such horrible deathsi What makes it more la
mentable Is that when child is stolen the child's
family also perish. The loss Of ones own flesh
and God is so deeply felt that the acute mental
pain drives one TO wish for death-quick apoplexy
or suicide generally follows.
This affecting description of Chinese par
entail grief is followed by the citation of an
instance showing how utterly impossible it
is for the loving heather to- protect their
children from foreigners, H.
!, A one-year-old child belonging to a woman of
the surname of Shen was lying III cradle in the
room and disappeared 10 the twinkling of an eye
cradle and all. without leaving behind the slight
est trace.
This mysterious occurrence was all that
was needed to point the fuger Of suspicion
at the missionaries, who happened in that
case to be Catholics, SO
The fathers aid mothers who lost their children
proceeded TO the Roman Catholic church 10 look
LOT tnelr missing ones. They perceived several
carcasses and dried bones of young children and
also four underground cells. These discoveries
caused suspicious thoughts, and tie people were
requested TO make search and examination.
The result of the search and examination
was the serious riotiDg, direcl6d especially
against the missions. And In general,
throughout China, the missions are suffering
especially from the superstitions of the pop
ulace, infamed perhaps by designing polite
ians who have schemes against good order
and the reigning dynasty And the posi-
tion OF the missions must be- precarious coz
tinually so long as the Chinese populace can
be stimulated to riots by stories of children
vanishing. cradles and ALL. through the pre-
ternatural powers of the missionaries.

Some of the people of Waterville are very
positive that the Nelson-Allerton race was
sold, and express the opinion that Allerton
was allowed to win in order that he may be
sold for high price, after which another
race will be arranged and won by Nelson.
This seems like theory, and rather weak
theory at that. Nevertheless there is, un'
fortunately, nothing In the reputation of @,
b. Nelson to dIscredit any such theory. II
is significant that this theory is started
where man and horse are known best.

right Of the picture. When he was about six
months old he was very sick from having been
given sour milk BY careless nurse-in fact was
50 bad the physician was unable to leave the
house for two weeks, during which time the child
was virtually dead from want Of nutrition, as he
was unable TO keep anything whatever on his
stomach. After trying all the known prepared
foods, both foreign and domestIc-none Of which
were OF any use-the physician, as a final hope,
had me buy bottle OF your Liquid Food, and
from the very first nve drops given he began TO
rally, and has been In most excellent health since
Whenever any OF them show any signs OF weak
ness whatever we Immediately give them your
Liquid Food, and 1t always acts like charm In
restoring them 10 health.

a novel and important step in prcpara-
ton for the great struggle. This Is the

statesman. Is president The work un-
dertaken by this club Is TO print and
distribute half million copies Of Henry
Georges "Protcction or Free Trade at
the extraordinary price Of ten cents per
copy.
