In HEATHENDOM.
A TALK WITH BISHOP r. s
FOSTER.
The Great Methodisvs Estimate o
Missionary Work in China,
japan, Corea and
the Orient.

San Francisco Call; Through the
Call of yesterday DIR. A. B. Leonard.
corresponding secretary of the Method
ist Episcopal Foreign Missionary society.
who had returned with Bishop r. 5.
Foster from the Orient, informed the
public in facts and figures what the
missionary work had bsen in the coun-
tries visited. Yesterday Bishop Foster
withdrew himself from steady throng
OF visitors long enough to give to re-
porter OF this paper his Impressions OF
the progress of the great work OF Chris
tianizing tbeee heather nations.
During the six months that we were
gone we traversed Japan from one emo
to the other" he said. 1--WE visited the
capital OF Corea, and held conferences at
several points. In China | held one
conference at Peking, one at Nankin
and one at Foo Chow.
The general condition of the mis-:
sions in Japan is encouraging and hope.
iul. / wae glad to note an abatement OF
the antipathy which has heretofore been
shown toward foreigners. In northern
China the missions have been very sue
cessful, and there we have great hope.
In central China the outlook is very
discouraging. In Foo Chow the mis-
sion is large and successful, and on the
whole there is reason to feel encouraged.
Zone of the most comforting and de-
lighttul facts is the feeling of perfect
brotherhood among the missionaries
the Presby terian, the Baptist, the Con.
gregational and the Wesleyan. Their
greeting to me was as cordial as that Of
our own missionaries. We could not
perceive denominations lines. In fact,
there are none among the missions, ex-
cept as to lines of work.
"fhe Catholic missions are more nu-
merous than those of the Protestant
churches and are conspicuously strong.
can give no personal judgment as to
the work, but know that they are very
widely extended and have great influ-
ence."
asked as TO the ultimate future OF mis-
sionary work in these oriental fields,
Bishop Foster, after some reflection, re-
piled: ''rhe work is so vast that it al
most confounds one to think of it, and
this feeling grows The further one pene-
trstes the interior, but Christianity is
planted and finally it must be victori-
ous. Still, it is long contest. 1t will
take large, very large expenditure Of
life and funds to produce the result for
which we are striving. Christianity is
leavening the best minds in these coun-
tries. 1t is creating an atmosphere Of
it's own, and it will grow slowly and
steadily. 1t will take century after CEN
tury to complete the work, but Chris
tianity has gone there, and gone to stay.
have not the slightest doubt of the
final Christianization.o OF all these lande."
Bishop Foster left last night by the
Ogden express for Omaha.

The whole road system OF America is
wrong. Men who live from hand ia
mouth and starye good women to death
are allowed to work out their taxes on
the highways, under our present sys-
tenn and until each state takes hold oi
the road question and compels the pay
ment OF road taxes in cash, there will
be nothing left but crippled horses and
smsshed wagons. Take the matter ont
of the hands OF the several counties
and make it a state affair, and in ten
years VS. would have road from San
Diego to the Oregon line that would be
q credit to the atate.

THE SCOTT INVESTIGATION.
The horticultural Commisaioner Shown
to BE All Right


The horticultural Commissioners Shown
to BE All Right
The investigation of Horticultural
Commissioner John Scott's management
was again taken up yesterday morning
before the board Of supervisors.
The first witness before the board
yesterday was Francis House, who ies-
tilted that he had known Scott for many
years when that gentleman WAS resid-
ing in the Pomona valley. He, the wit
nese, believed the commissioner had
tried to do his duty towards the nursery
men and did not regard him as capable
OF an improper preference. The witness
would not say positively that there had
been no distinction made in the
treatment OF the complainants. but ii
such was the case, he believed there
was ample reason for such treatment.
Judge Waldo Ia. York also testified.
He is the counsel for Scott in the pres
ent action but asked 10 be sworn and
his evidence was taken. His testimony
was to the effect that when he was dis
trict attorney, he also was Scott's ad-
wiser and had always held the commits
sioner in high esteem, believing him to
be man of the highest tintegrity. Other
witnesses called testified to the same
thing, leaving the impression that Scot
was victim of mild persecution. The
board adjourned and will continue a
hearing OF the testimony today at 10
O'Clock.

WHAT a comment it is upon modern
American financisring that the North
ern Pacific should be in bankruptcy,
:" fter having squandered the largest en-
dowment ever bestowed upon any cor
porstion; and that, at the same time,
''the Jim Hill road" built from Seattle
to Duluth and st. Paul without one
dollar in cash or land subsidy, should
be regularly meeting its fixed charges
and paying the interest on its bonds be-
sides. The Great Northern owes it's
success to one thing. Like Napoleon's
automston, it "hss a man in it" and
that man is man of business. The
wolf-like methods of Jay Gould are not
worthy of imitation at this late day.

any community to have in its midst O
man like this, who throws himself into
the breach against the myrmidons OF

SPOKANE, WASH, Jan. 4 Ugly rumors
a6oat FOR several days eliminated today
in the arrest OF Herman l.. Chase, on G
warrant sworn out by Mary Neleon, his
servant girl, charging him with criminal
assault under very aggravated circum-
stances. Miss Nelson charges that, to
accomplish his purpose, he beat her and
inflicted other violence. Chase was re-
leased on $1,000 bonds. He is nephew
of ex-Secretary Chase of Lincoln's cab
met. He was receiver OF the Spokane
National bank and is widely known in
rhin state. Chase is confirmed invalid
and the charges are not believed by his
friends. He admits having struck the
girl, under very great provocstion, but
denies the other charges.

But it does indicate that worthy and

Now that the new year has come, and we are
well started on 1884, social circles are waving
up, and all are looking 70 ward to merry times
~ the near future. HnTagemenis ana rumors

fore that time comes the term OF preparation,

for ther3 are multitude OF Things TO De
attended to, the overlooking Of any one OF
which would be prone to result dsastrousiy.
Not the least OF these m any things Is the pre-
pairing of the Invitations and cards.
Invitations, aud especially those Tor q wed
ding, are governed by lex non scripta
which is a. unal'erable as the laws Of the
Medes and Persans. Adherence TO the proper
form stamps the sender as q person OF social
culture. while the slightest slip is certain to be
commented upon, and is almost as good as
passport to social ostractsm. therefore the
greatest care should be exercised In this direc-
tion.
Tnete are SO many points to be considered
and remembered in this connection that the
limits Of newspaper article hardly afford suf-
ficient scope. The only practical sut ges.on
which can bs made Is TO consult some one ex-
peiienced in such mstiers, and whose taste is
beyond question. There is at least one such
man IN Los Angeles. We refer to NJ. German,
