Ex-Secretary Foster Says Chinese Are
Not Hostile to Missionaries.
Defeat by japan Ranking In
Their Bosoms,


WATERTowN. N. Y, Sept. 9.-In an adj
dress Oh "Forcign Missions at this place,
last night, ex-Sccrotary Of State Foster
made the following statement concerning
the recent riots and massacre In Ku-Cheng:
The opinion formed by me after careful
inquiry and observation Ii that the mass
Of the population OF China, particularly
the common people, are not specially hos
tile to the missionaries and their work.
Occasional riots have occurred, but they
are almost invariably traced to the Literati
or prospective office holders and the ruling
classes
These are often bigoted and conceited To
the highest degree. and regard the teach
ings of the missionaries as tending to over
throw the existing order of government
and society, which they look upon as
perfect system, and
Sanctifed by Great Antiquity.
The war with Japan. which resulted in
humiliating peace and the loss of ter
ritory has greatly weakened the imperial
authority, and the disba adment of several
hundred thousand troops, mostly without
receiving the pay due them, has added
very much to tho prevailing discomfort
and disorder.
Under such circumstances 1t Is not
strange that riots should occur, and that
the widespread mission should be the
greatest sufferers. These riots have been
mostly confined to pillaging and destruc-
tion of property, the chief exception being
the Ku-Cheng massacre which has Justly
Mortified the civilized world.
But we In America should be chary OF
our condemnation when we recall the
many outragcs which have been inflicted
on Chinese subjects in the United States,
and remember that the Wyoming trouble
few years ago was equally cruel and
fatal In its results, and reflected more
severely on our authority.

to Have Come to Stay.
The slaughtcring of horses for human
food is now recognized western industry,
and tho authorities have shown no disposi-
tion to interfere with 1t. In fact, the city
health department of Chicago says horse
meat, from sanitary point of view, is su-
perior to that of beef for the reason that
horses do not have tuberculosis.
There is n horse slaughter house at Ham
mond, Ind, and several in that vicinity,
end there Is also one In Chicago, the most
extensive of the lot, on the Archer road
and Fifty-second street. The main cause
of complaint against the Archer road abat-
toir Is that the horses slaughtered there
are broken down and emaciated animals,
and many of them are said to be afflicted
with disease Comparatively little of this
meat is sold in America, the bulk of it GO
ing to Europe, and, as consequence, the
consuIs representing Germany, Belgium
and France have made complaint TO the

tho first patent ISSUED To IA woman was In
1909, to Mary Kics, for method Of wtay-
ing straw with silk or thread. Six y,Drs
later one'was issued To Mary Brush for IA
corset. IL was not until 1923 that more
than one patent pcr year was issued 10
women. In 1862 only IA patents were Is
sued to women, that being the largcs.in
any year up TO that time. The war, how
ever, developed the inventive gcnil~ Of
women, and the annual number of pat
ents issued 10 them Increased rapidly.
Many Of them were for inventions for
either fighting or nursing devices. Tho
annual issue Increased steadily year by
year. In 1870 II was go, I'm 1880 over 02,
In 1890 over goo and In 1898 over 300.
From 1909 TO 1888 women's inventions
averaged 30 n year, from 1883 TO 1892 280 %
year, and since 1892 ESQ year. Tho
pamphlet gives classification Of women's =
inventions. This shows that wearing ap-
parel leads the list, with 100 different
patents In 30 months. Then comes cook
ing utensils, with 100 inventions furni-
ture, with b5; heating and washing or
cleaning apparatus, with 40 odd each;
sewing and spinning deStces and building
apparatus with about 80 each education
al, medical apparatus, toys and trunks,
about 90 each. Other lines I'm which wom-

baby carriages, barrel and bicycle attach
ments, printing and bottling apparatus,
boxes and baskets, clocks, flowers, horse
shoes, motors, musical instruments, plumb
ing and preserving devices, screens, sta.
tionery, theatrical apparatus, toilet arti
cles and typewriter Attachments. Very few
of the patents issued TO women were for
entirely new creations. Excluding those
especially concerning women's work, near
ly all the other patents were for attach
ments to some previously existing device.

The refusal of the Genital Penn
sylvania Methodist Conference,
which adjourned at Tyrone, Pa, on
Monday to admit Rev. Isaac l..
Wood, pastor of the Elkton M. E..
Church, after he had received a
call from the congregation of the
church at Chambersburg, is a dis
appointment to Mr.. Wood and his
friends. He had just accepted the
call from Chambersburg. The
reason Bishop Newman, who pre-
sided at Tyrone, failed to appoint
Mr.. Wood was because Elkton could
not make place for q member of
the Pennsylvania Conference, which
was impossible, as Elkton has
already issued call to Rev. A. S.
Mowbray, now stationed at New
port, Del, which he has accepted.
Rev. Mr.. Wood will now have to
remain in the Wilmington Confer

School Books.

During the last session of the
legislature the Democrat charged
that the pupils in all public schools
were paying from thirty to fifty per
cent more than the books could be
furnished for. We then contended
that a commission ought to be
formed for the purpose of preparing
uniform system of text books for
the whole State and that bids be
invited for publishing the same.
We believe this is the proper system
and that each county could procure
the books needed at a saving OF
thousands of dollars. So long as
"the ring' has the control of adopt
ing and furnishing school books,
Just so long will frauds like that
unearthed by the "Evening News"
prevail. We need reform in school
books as well as in some other
things in this State.-Laurel
