WILL Do MISSION WORK
Miss Sarah Peters, Seven Years
in the Riot Sections of
China.
Her Story of the Need of Educated
Physicians and of the Progress
of the Church.

Miss Sarah Peters of Illinois. who has
been for seven years laborlng as mission
ary at Nanking, China, under the auspices
of the Woman's Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, is at the Occidental. Nanking is q
city of about 100000 in the province or
Quang Su, 200 miles up the Yangtse River
from Shanghai. 1t is there that some of
the comparatively recent riots have oc-
CURED. but Miss Peters was not injured.
"If they know you well they are not apt
to hurt you" said Miss Peters. "The
Yangtse Valley, where a good many of
our missionaries are at work, is known as
Central China. II is very rich agricult-
ural country, may say the richest in the
whole of China. Elegant passenger steam
ers traverse the Yangtse River, so that it
is no trouble for US to get about.
1--WE have our books all printed in the
Chinese and English languages, so that
the natives may make as much progre SIS
as possible. The Chinese are very tract
able, and learn quite easily. Our mission
work Is going forward in a very successful
way.
There is especial need of missionaries
who have a knowledge of medicine and
surgery. Over most all of China if per-
son sustains severe fracture of bone
there is no one who can set it. Their doc
tors would know nothing at all about how
to set 1t, nor do they in fact know any,
thing of surgery in any of its depart
ments.
"Going back with my party are DIR.
Mary Stone and DR.. Ida Kahn. both of
kinkiang young native Chinese women
who have lately completed the medical
course at the Michigan State Medical Col
lege, Ann Arbor. They were educated in
English before they left China. Miss
Stones mother is a Christian, and Miss
Stone was the first Chinese child in all
that region whose feet were left unbound,
and which grew in their natural way.
They have just completed four years at
Ann Arbor. They will practice medicine
in connection with the other workers in
the Methodist mission"
Miss IDA Deaver of Philipsburg, Pa. is
also at the Occidental, en- route to Ching
Kang, and Miss Clara Merrill of Flint.
Mich, who is going to Kinkiang. They
will all sail on the steamer Coptic to-
morrow for the mission fields of China.

immigrants no longer come aid go, they
are coming here for good and all.
sWhat can one think" continues L'Ita-
liza, "of this Mr.. Bryan who thus
throws insults in our faces, when
the man most competent to pro-
nounce judgment in the matter de-
clares the exact contrary? We must
conclude that he is not of the stuff TO be-
come President of this great and glorious
republic that he has not the seriousness
and the culture beftting a statesman.
Our Italian electors possess no small in
fiuence in the coming struggle and we
nourish the nope that they will not for
get-before voting-that they are Ital-
ians."
1t was the publication of these articles
tina. has aroused a storm of indignation
among Italian residents. Prominent
Democrats, among whom are G. Calegarls
and D. Caglieri, have announced their in
tention of voting for Mckinley, but few
devoted disciples still cling to Bryan and
declare that they would never believe him
capable of penning such TRADE. To
satisfy these doubling Thomases the fol-
lowing telegram was dispatched by
L'Italia:
To the Editor of the World Herald, Omaha,
Neb.. On the Stn and 18th OF August, 1895,
Mr. Bryan published in the World-Herald two
editorials insulting to Italians living In
America. Our daily u Italia is In faVOr OF the
Republican party and we Loyalty notify you
that as Italians we are fighting against Mr.
Brvan; also on account OF the unjust insults
hurled by him at Italian immigrants. Should
BRYAN or yourself wish to make any statement
on the matter, we have no objection to pub
fishing it in our paper.
A week has gone by since the dispatch
of the telegram, but no response has come
to gladden. the hearts of Bryan's small
contingent. During the week OF grace
l. Italia refrained from all editorial COM
ment on the obnoxious editorials, but to-
day the few Italian Democrats who have
not turned against Bryan will again be
urged to do so, and as Italian papers In
other States are following suit the loss OF
voters to Bryan will certainly be great.
E. Patrizi, one of the editors of l. Italia,
said Yesterday: "Besides the fight on sill
yer, we now, as Italians. have another
fight against Bryan. We do not wish to
Judge from a narrow standpoint, but he is
certainly very unreliable, or else he Is
ignorant of the social conditions OF his
country, and in either case he is not fit to
be President"
T. Almagia, editor of L Italia, said: I'm
North Beach alone there are over $500
Italian voters. Three thousand would
have voted the Republican ticket anyway,
but the two editorials published by Bryan
have alienated a large number of the re-
naming 50O and are certain to have the
same effect all over the United States"

BLED TO DEATH.
JehIe's Frightful Suicide
in a Saloon.
Cut His Wrist and Almost
Severed Head From Body.
Deed Committed in the Presence of
Horrified Spectators.

BIink's saloon, S3 Friendship street,
was the scene of sensational suicide at
O'Clock last evening. Three inmates of
the place saw John Jehle, the bartender.
bleed to death. He had severed an
artery in his right wrist and near decapi-
tated himself with a carving knife right
in the presence of the horrihed spccta-
tors. The desperate deed has no known
cause up to thespresent time. The desper-
ate man had been chatting and laughing
with his companions, and gave no token
of the bloody work be had in mind.
Jehle. used to work In Waterman's
saloon on Broad street, but recently he
has been employed as bartender in
Blink's place. lie was regarded as a very
good natured fellow and was considered
thoroughly reliable, as bis habits were
good. lie lived with his wife near the
corner of Parsonage street, on South
street, and according to all reports they
we're happy couple. Mrs. Jehle brought
her husband's supper to the saloon ana
the couple conversed pleasantly. lie ate
some of the food behind the bar. At that
time Charles Blink, Jr.. son of the pro-
prietor, 16 years of age, William Treis.
who lives at 173 Pine street. and Albert
Il. McMurtrIe, who lives at 191 Lockwood
street, were present. Treis and McA1ur-
trie were playing dominoes at one end
and young Blink sat in front of the bar.
At 1880 o'clock the wife called the
husband TO me door and obtained tickets
for the Colum bia Theater from him.
When she went away Jehle was in his
usnal comforta BILE mood and he talked
pleasantly about the game TO the domino
players. lie was apparently perfectly
sober.
The first intimation that the three in
mates mad that something was wrong
was caused by strange sound behind
the bar. The three men looked up and
saw fearful sight. Jehle was crouching
behind the bar and drawing the large
carving knife across his throat. The
blood was squirting in every direction.
Blink cried: VHe Is killing himself"
McMurtrie ran out to summon the ambu-
lance and Tries saw the desperate man
cut bis throat from ear to ear. The sui
eide tottered for a moment and then fell
TO the floor. face downward, where he
bled to death. Before cutting his throat
he made deep cash across his wrist.
Jehle was dead when the police arrived
and medical Examiner Palmer said thst
il was clear case Of suicide.
