tlOn that the most ingenious invention
could suggest They have theater that
lasts for five hours, and then sends them
home dead, or at least deaf; but as mems
lives are almost as limited as a cats,
they can't stand it more than once a
week. They spread their meals over two
or three hours, and COOK them so ex-
celentlY that they are far from sur
felted; but with the aid of the melon
seed, another ingenious discovery of
prOtractlon, can go on eating in the in
terval until the next meal comes round.
They have novels and pamphlets that
have been known to take six generations
from the cOnqueror downward to get

where the title comes in. They have a
pipe that holds one Whit, and has to be
cleaned out and rehlled for the next, and
instead of matches, blotting-paper spill
which has TO be scientifically blown for
two minutes before it intames. They
have roads crowded with every con-
ceivable stumbling block in the shape of
unlevel paving stones. holes and cuttings,
that go round instead of across every
field or grave they can by any conceivable
stretch Of imagination touch, like the
canal at KaOtzu, that traverses a mile in
fifty direct yards, for fear the water
should run away too fast and disappear.
But the most brilliant and successful
device was the opium pipe. Any one can
go and swallow handful of the drug, or
drink off bottle of its connection, and
kill themselves in five minutes; or you
can take it in pills and kill yourself in
year. But here you have means of
running the lining of your stomach and
your purse, of cStranging all your friends
and relations, and holding yourself up as
blotch and adherence to the calm self
satisfied horizon of pbilanthropic beer
swiggers, and of providing a swollen
revenue to a hated foreigner and an in
capable government and yet drag along in
your misery and enjoyment with re-
doubled energy for years and years and
years! Little could thatwag of wander

such stupendous results when he hobbled

and he said he did not want to die like

When all was ready the marshal cried:

After serving inIthe different capacities
of cleaner, lathe hand, filter

tendent, Mr.. Graham decided 10 take up
the study of electricity, which about 1890
began to attract the special attention OF
the whole mechanical world. AS Boston
was then the centre of the
electric motor world, MIR. Graham was
naturally attracted there and arrived in
Boston April, 1891, and began at once to
study the progress made on the West End
Street Railway, and saw at once the ne
cessity for improving the trucks il the
track and the car bodies were TO be pre-
served and not hammered or cracked to
pieces.
I'm 1892 the first truck was built and
sent to New Haven, and was placed in
service on the New Haven and West
Haven street railway, under a 80 foot 10
inch open car, and was highly satisfac-
tory, being far in advance of
anything yet designed for street
railway service. In January, 1893, a
truck was built for the Union Railroad,
Providence, and was placed underElmwood
box car No. A, and is still running with
excellent results. Since then trucks have
been shipped to Bath, Me-; Winchester

DIR. F. Dupont, formerly OF Paris, France,

DIR. Dupont has volunteered to
give The News his services to attend the
sick either at their homes or at his Office

The NEWS Bread Fund.
DR.. Dupont, who speaks the best of

Of the I1avalle Institute of Montreal.

poor and suffering who stand in need OF
medical attendance, THE News has ac-

Mr.. j. III. Graham, the inventor of the

from the Toronto University, 1879. Entered
the employ of the Great Western Railway
at Hamilton, and worked for that COM
pany eleven years in the locomotive de-

Rhode Island locomotives, so MIR. Graham
had natural interest in visiting this

The death of Mrs. Maria p. steere, who
died recently at her home, $40 Atwell's
avenue, will be felt especially by the
needy families in this vicinity. Mrs.
Steere came from a family that has been
widely known and for a generation has
been employed in works of charity here.
She was member of the City
Missionary club and had the 10th ward
as her district. She gave her whole time
to her labors and although she was nearly
~ years OF age she was as active as ayoung
woman and personally Investigated each
case Of need that was reported TO her.
AS late as Christmas she was engaged in
her work, and her long experience enabled
her to reach the deserving cases. Her
death win be felt as personal loss by
many families In this district.
By error the hour OF the distribution Of
bread was announced in THE NEWS as

REV. GEORGE Il. CANDLIN.
One of the Prominent Figures i'm the
Recent Parliament of Religions.

1t was on the afternoon devoted 90 the
discussion OF foreign missionary methods
at the Parliament OF Religions that the
Rev. George T. Candlin made his first
address. Mr.. Candlin is missionary
from the United States who for many
years has lived at Tientsin, West China,
where his work has been effective and
constant. He dresses in native Chinese
costume, believing that by SO doing he can
get nearer the hearts OF the people with
whom he must come in contact, better
securing their confidence, and obtaining
greater success in his work. His opinion
on these matters must be conceded TO have
great weight, for he has experience and
success for his proofs. The speaker who
preceded him had attacked missionary
methods, and when DR.. Candlin rose to
speak there was q sparkle. in his
eye that told of a contradiction to
come to those charges OF in

that plenty OF druggists will be glad TO
knock off something for cases OF need
because they are doing il every day, just
as doctors arc in the regular course OF
business.
The suggestion comes from an offer
made by downtown drug store to put
up prescriptions for News patients free Of
any cost whatever. THE News felt that
one firm ought not make all the sacrifice
and asked him 10 wait little until a
general expression from tho druggists
might be secured.

tolerance and selfishness. He made no
denial that there are reforms needed i'm
Christian missions and in the charac-
ter OF work required. But he wished TO
repudiate the personal remarks made in
regard to the missionaries in japan,
Ceylon, and India. He declared that he
was no advocate of forcing Western
modes of life and social customs on the
East. He did not wish TO Americanize
or Anglicize the people of those countries,
but neither did he want TO be turned
into a Hindu or n Chinaman. "And,"
he said, III say this in regard To the
countries of India, OF Ceylon, and OF
Japan, that IL there are no true Chris
tians and no meek and owly.followers of
the meek and lowly Jesus amongst them,
then there Is not one in America, and
there is not one in England, and the
Christian world does not contain a true
Christian" He then followed with an
emphatic declaration that the real need
OF the Christian religion today Is unity
between the denominations. He declared
1t impossible to produce universal har-
mony from the united actions of a
Christendom OF religious sects wrangling
about minor points OF doctrine.
This Is the handicap against which
all missionary effort must be directed.
The effort TO proselyte from other faiths
into Christianity is continually meeting
the struggles of inquiring ones as TO why
their are so many Christian churches and
I'm the maze OF doctrinal differences they
become bewildered, and remain Ian the
faith Of their fathers and their countries.
On another day the same speaker read n
paper on the question Of "Religious Unity
and Missions IL was i'm the same Tine
as his brief address OF the first appear
ance, and awakened much interest and
wide approval lie is a strong advocate OF
the substitution OF the spiritual test
for the intellectual one, Of conversion
for orthodoxy. And again, on the last
day OF the Parliament, he expressed his
confidence I'm the ultimate triumph of
that spirit, and the belief that this great
Congress at Chicago was an important
date I'm the movement. These addresses
are all included ian full In "Neelcy's His
