SOME SIGHTS IN CHINA.


DR.. Thomas c. Carter Describes Them 1t the
Y. M. G. A. Rooms.
The lecture Of DR.. Thomas C. Carter at the
Young Mems Christian Association Hall last
night on Sights in China" was largely attended
and was . most graphic and interesting descrip-
ton Of Chinese home life and customs DR..
Carter was for several years a missionary in
central China and established at Kiu-Kisng the
nglo-Chinese College. He is familiar with the
laws and institutions Of the CelestiAls and de-
scribes his travels among them with such vivid
ness that his audience follows him from point
to point as if personally transported to the
quaint and curious" scenes of that wonderful
empire. The early intercourse Of foreign coun-
tries with the Chinese, the wars and treaties,
the characteristics Of the country and the peo-
pie, the degradation Of womanhood and the suf-
fering OF childhood, the social habits marriage
customs-in fact, everything that could be told
In the space Of a lecture concerning that oldest
nation OF the far east was held before his hear
ers like the changing scenes Of a panorama and
the large audience went from the hall as il lust
from visit to the orient The doctors de-
scription Of the condition Of women in China,
contrasted with the exalted position Of Ameri-
can women, was thrilling and eloquent. Great
as are the advantages of the women of this
country. he would not stand in the way Of
their elevation to still higher recognition.
Though not an advocate Of popular womsn's
rights. he said: 81 long to see the day in this
country Of ours when a filthy italian, who has
only been in America for five years, who can't
speak word Of English, who owns not foot
OF our sacred soil, who despises our flag, who
has not one drop of patriotism in his veins
L long to see the day when that despicable speci-
men from across the sea can't crawl out of a
dirty cellar in New York city on an election day
and tip the political scale with hundred thou
sand intelligent American women on the other
end Of the scale" These remarks were warmly
'heered. DR.. Carter is a delightful speaker
and never fails to thoroughly eentertain his
