A WOMAN CHAMPIONS THE CHINESE
CHARACTER.
She Says the Mongols Are in Many Re-
spects the Superiors Of the Cau-
casfans-Irish LabOrers
Insulted. ioe

New YORK, Oct. 23.--Mrs. Baldwin,
for 20 years a missionary in China,
spoke at the Asbury Park Methodist
church, today, before large congrega-
tion, detailing the kind of treatment
she received at the hands of the Chi
nese, and stating that she regarded
Cinnamon superior, in many respects,
to other foreigners to whom the United
States accords free entrance to the land
and citizenship. The speaker said since
she had been. delivering lectures in this
country she had received threatening
letters, and not long ago special police
man was detailed to guard her house to
prevent scheme for burning it down.
This in Christian America and Brooklyn.
She had never been in such danger in
China. The Chinese, she said,
were good laborers, and could
work longer and in places
/ where others could not, yet they were
beaten, bruised and killed, all because
they worked, while Irish and others got
drunk and would not work ss we'll.
When this reference to the Irish was
made considerable disturbance arose in
the church, and several people left.
Continuing, Mrs. Baldwin said it made
her sick to hear speeches such as were
made during the Columbian celebration,
in which America was spoken of as the
land of the free. She thought it was not
the case. During the war on the Chi
nese at Seattle, Cleveland and Bayard
were appealed to seven times to protect
the Chinese, but they only sent troops
to protect the United States mails.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 23.-The gos-

sword, also with red fire and revolvers,
at the Olivet Congregational church to-
day. Charles M. Emmons. a gun maker
employed at the United States armory,
whose mind is unsound upon religious
matters, bought large supply of rock
cts, red fire, roman candles, pin wheels
and powder, Saturday afternoon, and at
midnight took them with him to the
church. After entering the church the
madman arrayed himself In dust
cloths, covering his face, and hanging
the big red book mark Of the pulpit
from a string around his belt. When
the sexton arrived to start the morning
fires, he was confronted by the en-
shrouded apparation in the pulpit.
Brandishing revolver, Emmons bade
the sexton listen to the truth. The
sexton hastily -etreated, but not before
the lunatic fired two shots into the air.
The officers of the church and police
we're speedily summoned, but for more
than three hours Emmons stood his
ground. During this time the madman
read from the Psalms and Revelations.

of Williamsburg, whom he has never
seen. The link which will bring about
the union, was furnished by Miss Gertie
Homan, sister of the prospective bride.
Colonel Stout became acquainted with
Miss Gertie when she played Little Lord
Fauntleroy in Spokane Falls, some time
ago. He wrote her, and some letters
received at home were answered by Miss
Ida. In that way a correspondence was
opened; then followed conditional pro-
posal by mail and an acceptance on the
same basis. Colonel Stout was in Chi
cago for several days at the Columbian
celebration. He left Chicago Friday
night and telegraphed that he would be
in New York at O'Clock this afternoon.
Miss Ida was among the first to welcome
him as he stepped from the car. She
carried his latest picture in her hand,
and recognized him Immediately.
When Miss Homan recognized him.
her greeting was: "I'm go glad to see
you"
Colonel Stout was presented to Miss
Homan's escort, and the entire party
took boat for Brooklyn, whence they
went to the residence OF Miss Homan's
parents.

ATLANTIC Cry, N. j., Oct. 23.-H. J.
Nilsson, of San Francisco, guest.of the
Manhattan house, was found dead in
his room, this morning, by the propri-
etor of the hotel and colored porter.
The latter was sent to Wilson's room to
awaken him for breakfast, and getting
no response, attempted to open the
door, but found it locked. He then
opened the transom, and was partly
overcome by rush OF gas from the
room. With the proprietor he broke in
the door, and found Wilson's body lying
across the bed, cold in death, with gas
jet turned on full blast. A couple Of
physicians were called, but could do
nothing for him, as, he had evidently
been dead some hours, having turned
on the gas and died from asphyxiation.
A letter found among his effects, asked
that J. p. Eldredge, OF Westchester, Pa,
be notified, should anything happen to
him. The person referred to was noti-
fed, but has not yet responded.
Nilsson was about 40 years old, and had
the appearance of man of means and
prominence. 1t is said he had no family
connections and travelled about for
pleasure, having plenty of money. He
spoke of John Wanamaker, the post
master general, and other prominent
men, and claimed close. friendship with
them.
A post mortem examination and in
quest will be held on the arrival Of

Train-robber Perry's Desperate Attempt
to Escape.
AUBURN, N. y. Oct. 23.-The cele-
brated train robber, Olin Curtis Perry,
who escaped from his cell yesterday af-
ternoon, enjoyed limited freedom just
eight hours, when he was again thrust
back into confinement, more secure
than ever before. Perry was found hid
ing in the marble shop, and at once
started for liberty, closely pursued by
several prison guards. In his precipi-
tate retreat he rushed directly into the
arms of Keeper Smith. The desperate
did not surrender Immediately, but
made en- attempt to kill the keeper with
q large stone, which he hurled at him.
Smith retaliated by striking Perry on
the head with a heavy cane. This
ended the scrimmage and Perry was
carried, unconscious, back to his cell.
He came to at last, and remarked that
he would make another attempt to es-
cape as soon as possible.

The Revolt in Santiago Del Estero Is

New York, Oct. 23.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent says: News
came from Buenos Ayres that Governor
Rojas, of Santiago del Estero, is still in
prison, and that the revolutionists are
practically in control of the state. The
national cabinet discussed the situation
in Santiago del Estero, and there was a
division as to the proper course to pur-
sue. The majority favored federal inter-
vention, and finance Minister Romero
resigned, and the executive asked per-
mission from the national congress to
intervene. 1t was granted. The gov
ernors of all the provinces have been
called upon to have the national guard
ready for service. 1t is probable that
congress will appoint commission to
inquire into the state of affairs in the
province. The situation in the province
is grave, and there is liable to be serious
trouble before it is settled.

THE COLUMBUS AUTOGRAPH.

The Great Explorer Handled the Sword

There is anever ending dispute regard
ing the authenticity Of the various por-
traits Of Columbus. People who claim
to know deny that the picture>which is
to adorn the souvenir half dollar is
correct presentment of the naEigator's
features, but whether or not the grounds
on which they base their criticism are
tenable will probably never be decided.
Fortunately, however, the quarrel does
not extend to a challenge of the verify

which is given herewith.
To the ready pen wielder of the Nine

discoverer of America must seem queer
indeed, but it should be remembered
thatin those daysmen welded the sword

To build the lofty purpose of his soul.

Especial Correspondence


REDD1NG, Conn, Sept. 29.-Aside from
their interest as the theater of many
notable events in Revolutionary. times.
these rock ribbed hills possess charm
for the student of literature also. On
one of the broadcast of them was ben.
in the year 1854, Joel Barlow, the most
widely known of early American poets,
author of the ambitious epic the s'Co-
lumbiad," and in the early days of the
republic ''a man Of might" The poets
father titled a farm of IT'S acres, and
Joel became thoroughly familiar with
the ms and outs Of colonial husbandry.
The old Barlow homestead was de-
molished in 1928, and local antiquaries
can merely locate it's site in the western
part of the town. But the old tavern
roadhouse and postoffice combined
where at one time the poet lived, and in
the upper front chamber of which he
wrote, still stands in West Redding 1t
has not suffered material change. In it,
we are told, bluff and hearty old Put
nam frequently enjoyed good cheer,
both social and bibulous. The neat farm
house into which the old roadhouse has
been metamorphosed is painted bright
yellow and stands on the old Danbury
post road. Near it flows the Sangatuck
river, here but a brook. The barroom
was in the northeast corner, and back of
the bar was wine closet closed by a
glass door. A quaint sight is the old
fashioned smokehouse, which still re-
mains unaltered in the garrett by the
side of the enormous chimney. Hams
and bacon were hung high in those days.
This Columbian year makes the read
Ing of Barlow's epic timely, not alone
because of Columbus "vision" therein
described, but also to show how far we
have advanced in poetic composition
since Barlow wrote. The "Columbiad" is
the perfected version of an earlier poem
by the same author, called the ''Vision
of Columbus" written ere Barlow had
gained such distinction in other ways as
a diplomat, general writer and man of
affairs. The scheme of each poem is
substantially the same, Columbus, the
discoverer, being represented as a seer
who discourses at length concerning the
trials, triumphs and future greatness of
the New World. The events of the
Revolution occupy a prominent part in
the work, and Barlow has noted many
incidents connected with the localities
and men that were specially familiar to
him.
A short distance from the old build
ing is the site of the first Methodist
camp ground in New England, estab-
lished about 1870 The tents were very
primitive then, often only branches of
trees or blankets stretched on poles.
Above the valley to the east is high
ridge called "Gallows hill,'' from the
execution of a spy and deserter there
by Putnam's orders. When Barlow
lived nearby the hill, then haply Of less
