of night Withholding her pale
beams. As '1overs' leap" was ap-
preached, it was seen to be nicely
fenced around, which had been or
dered by timely forethought of
some of Bolivar's citizens in antici-
patton Of possible accidedt. The
next dreaded part of the drive, the
''rockey hill, was also found in ex-
cellent condition, as was the entire
road from town. At this point the
many brilliant lights from the
springs could be seen cleaning
through the intervening trees,
which on a nearer approach remind
ed one of a veritable German spa.
At the entrance, the occupants of
each vehicle were instructed to make
circuit OF the half mile gravel
driveway, stopping in front of the
ball room, where they were met by
servants in attendance, when the
vehicle was taken in charge and the
guests were ushered into the house.
By 9 o'clock all had arrived and all
parts of the spacious grounds were
resembling with notes of merriment,
but especially was this the case in
the commodious dining hall which
had been prepared for the dancers.
Till late hour, or rather an early
morning hour, fairy forms, clad in
diaphanous robes of silks, satins and
mulls glided by in perfect unison
with the enhancing strains of mu
sic from the violin and guitar,
assisted by gallant beaux in even
ing suits of black. During the even
ing refreshments consisting of ice
cream, cake and lemonade were
served. Everything was as "mer-
ry as a marriage bell, " and Mrs.
Paul is to be congratulated upon
the success of the reception. Words
of unqualified praise are heard on
all sides. Neither time nor money
has been spared in making the cot
tages and grounds attractive for
summer boarders and visitors from
town. 1t is an enterprise deserv-
ing of patronage, and there is no
reason why Dunlap Springs should
not in time become as popular a
summer resort as BonAqua and other
springs. A close analysis of the
water from the main spring shows
it to be more strongly impregnated
with mineral properties than any
other water in the State.

THE MERCHANT WHO WILL NOT BE UNDERSOLD.

er. There are three different Ian
guages and 200 dialects, and every
sound the Chinaman makes, unless
similar, means a different thing.
The Chinese, the speaker said, are
great sticklers to the Anticipated
customs taught by Confucius,
whom they consider the throneless
king, and the christian religion be-
ing antagonistic to such principles,
the missionaries have had much to
contend with in prevailing upon the
Cinnamon to depart from a custom
so dear to them. The lecturer as
serted that one Of the principal eau
ses of opposition to missionary
work in that country is because of
the fact that the decline in that en-
pire was caused by commercial rela-
tions with a SO called Christian ma
ton, referring to the shipment of
opium into that country by Eng
land He stated that 5000 tons of that
drug is annually shipped in oppo-
sition to the wishes of the Chinese
authorities, and it has had the eff
feet of causing the inhabitants of
that empire to become suspicious
and credulous of foreigners. In order
to give an idea of the trials the
converts to Christianity in that coun-
try have to undergo, Mr.. Painter
stated that they were ostracized by
their own family, and are given no
employment by the unconverted.
He also stated that there are 600 in
habitants in China to the square
mile, which would be three times
more to the square mile if all the
inhabitants of the United States
were cOngregated in Texas. From
that statement, we can form an idea
of how densely settled that country
is. The Chinese are very proud of
their country, which embraces one
tenth of the whole world and is We
ry rich The country has been well
cared for. Six different crops are
raised annually. From a social
standpoint in that country, the
scholars are considered first and the
farmer second. In fact farming is
so dignifed that the Emperor of
that country does not consider it
beneath his station TO engage III
ploughing. But the speaker stated
that there Is a great deal Of fool
ishncss connected with rulers plough
ing, which is more for the purpose
of elevating socially those who pur-
sue that avocation than for any 9TH
er purpose. Before engaging in
the work, carpet is spread on
which the Emperor walks and the
pillow handles are wrapped in silk.
The speaker stated that the mari
ner's compass, gun powder, porce-
liam ink and paper were invented in
China prior to the time the English
language was spoken. In China
about Is deaths occur every hour.
Notwithstanding the many obstac-
les which the missionaries are con-
fronted with, Mr. Painter stated that
they were not discouraged, and he
also asserted that within the last
three years the number that have
professed faith in Christ trebles that
of any previous time.

The Lecture.

About IS or 100 people assem-
bled in the Presbyterian Church
last Friday night to hear Rev. @
w. Painter, the returned missiona-
ry from China, who has labored in
that field for the past 20 years. His
subject on that occasion was "Ob-
stacles and difficulties of missiona-
ries." One of the difficulties en-
countered by missionaries is the eli
mate which is so trying on the CON
situation as to compel some who
have gone to that country to labor

A New and Very Promising Irrigation
Scheme.
SAN BERNARDINO, April 22.-The
following dispatch, of interest to this vi
entity, was received today:
CHICAGO. April 22.--"It is true that
General o. o. Howard and his brother
G. II. Howard. of this paper. have be-
come interested in one of the largest and
most promising irrigation enterprises ever
undertaken in this country" said James
Wilson, one of the publishers of the
Farm. Field and Fireside, today. THE
promoters of the Columbia Colonization
Company. aside from the Howard broth
ers, are Judge j. S. Foster of Halifax and
H. G.. Sweet of Los Angeles, Cal, Gen
eral Howard and C. H. Howard will be on
the board of directors.
AT the Victor Narrows OF the Moiave
river, not far from San Bernardino, Cal.
is natural reservoir of 100 600 acres. The
land is practically level and surrounded
by wall of granite hills. Government
rights have already been secured and a
survey made. A dam $50 feet high Will
be built at the foot OF this reservoir,
where the Mojave, the largest river in
Southern California, flows through Ear
row pass between the high granite bluffs.
The profit of the company will come, OF
course, wholly from the sales of water
rights. The land can be had from the
government by settlers for SIPS an acre
as soon as it is under irrigation.
I've will have $500 600 cash capital Sc
cured on the start. Then the settlers
taking the first 90, 600 acres will get
share OF stock with each acre and the
water right, which will cost $50 each.'
