FROM MISSIONARY STANDPOINT.

Utioa, N. Y, December 27.-Rev. Gil
bert Reid, who is in this country in the
interest of the international institute to
be located in Pekin, China, and especially
sanctioned by the Chinese government,
gives his views on the present crisis in
China as follows:
While the government at Washington
may not care to interfere In the behalf
of China against the powers of Europe 1t
should be the desire of all Americans
to help China in friendly spirit in order
to maintain and promote American inter
ests in that land. 1t is my belief that
both our commercial and missionary en-
terprises would fare better under the
Chinese rule made little more progress
sive. tolerant and enlightened than in
some colony ruled from the courts Of
Europe. 1t is furthermore possible for
us to help on the cause of progress and
enlightenment in China at the present
time If earnestly attempted and no Euro
pean power would dare Illustrate such at
tempts.'

Thousands of men in lonely homes call
up the pictures of the loved and lost ones
who might still be happy husbands with
healthy babies prattling at their knees, if
they had only been little more observant
and thoughtful. When a womans com
plexlon gets pale and sallow and her eyes
look heavy; when she is evidently nervous
and respondent, and complains of pains
and aches and dragging down and burning
sensations; wise man should know that
she is suffering from weakness or disease in
wo1nanly way. The thoughtful man who
realizes this will at once advise his wife to
consult some eminent and skillful special
ist. He will know that the average physi-
clan will insist upon the obnoxious exam
nations and local treatment so cnbarrass-
ing to modest, sensitive women He should
know that these ordeals are unnecessary
DR.. R. v. Pierce is all eminent and skillfu1
specialist, who has been for thirty wears
chief consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y. During that time, with the assist
ance of staff of able physicians he has
prescribed for many thousands of wo1n-
en-. He is the inventor of wonderful
medicine for the special weaknesses of
women, that cures i'll the privacy of the
home. 1t is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity strong, healthy and vigorous. II
corrects all irregularities and stops all de-
bilitating drains. Medicine dealers sell 1t
and have nothing just as good,
Ark, writes: my wife for perhaps four months
previous to the birth of our child took the Fa-
vorite Prescription This strengthened her en-
tire system and childbirth, to her was very
easy, being attended with little pain. Our baby
Ruth is IS months old and she has never been

MAN DASHED TO PIECES.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, December 27.--John
Agnew and Thomas Kennedy met a
horrible death today in the Alden shaft.
They had been sent down to cut the ice
which prevented the carriage from run
ming. Starting at the top, contrary to
custom, they cut away the ice until the
car had descended two hundred feet, when
it struck, and the men could not signal
the engineer. The rope continued to coil
on the top Of the car, until the weight
forced the car beyond the formation. The
car descended swiftly until therope broke
when it fell four hundred feet. The men
were dashed to pieces.

NORMALLY A PORTLAND CONCERN.
President NOVEL; on Failure of His Gold
Mining Company.

New York, December 27.-The news re-
ceiyed in this city today in despatch
from Port Townsend, Wash, of the ap-
pointment of receiver for the Novel;
Gold Mining company and the Bernsrs-
bay Mining and Milling company, came
as surprise to the stockholders, particu-
larly to the president of the two compa-
MES, Thomas S. NOVEL; of Boston, who
is at the Waldorf Astoria.
When seen at the hotel tonight, Mr..
Novel; expressed himself as completely
mystified as to the reason for the assign
ment.
'fThe telegraphic report received today
from Port Townsend, Wash, - said MIR.
NOVEL;, sis inoomprehensible. Some
financial complication must have arisen
in the absence of the companies finan
cal agent, Mr.. Fred D. Novel;, who has
been in the east and is now in San Fran
cisco, en- route to Alaska of which the
eastern officers at Boston knows nothing.
What information we have received from
Port Townsend is that the managers in
charge during II. D. Nowell's absence,
applied to United States District Judge
Charles s johnson to appoint receiver
in order to protect the properties until
the eastern office could be notified.
Judge johnson therefore appointed f.
4. Cassell, auditor of the companies re-
ceiver for both. The financial operations
OF both companies are conducted
through the eastern Office and all debts
have been paid promptly up to date. I
am advised from Boston today that all
demands coming to that office will be
promptly met The Novel; company was
organized in 1891 and the other
in 1894. Nominally the home offices
are at Portland, Me-, but the
financial manager, that's my son,
has offices in Boston. L besides be-
ing president of both companies own a
majority of the stock of both companies,
and the other stockholders are among the
solid men of the Eastern states. Not a
share has ever been offered to the public
and the men who own the stock are not
Offering it for sale, but holding it as an
investment The properties controlled
are conceded by mining men to be of
great value and the governor of the terri
tory in report to the inner department,
stated that the mines were regarded as
the most valuable in the territory The
properties of both companies, the NOVEL;
and Juneau and the I3ernersbay at Sea-
ward are hundreds of miles away from
the Klondike and are on the coast, easily
accessible to shipping at all seasons OF the
year. The companies plants include
wharves, railroads, mills, waterways and
tramways, erected at a cost of So, 000 600.
The companies mentioned in the Port
Townsend despatch are in no more danger
of failure than the United States govern
ment.'

OBJECT TO W. & @. CROSSING.

Pittsfeld, December 27.--A meeting of
the board of railroad commissioners was
held today at Burnham, then adjourned
to this place for hearing on the three
crossings called for by the W. and @.
road, one in Burnham and two in this
town.
A petition was presented to the board
as follows:
10 the Honorable Railroad Commissioners
CT the State of Maine:
On the petition of the Wiscasset and
QHenec Railroad compaDy for two cross
i gs of the highway from Pittsfeld vii
lase ia banaiI of the town of Pittsfeld,
as agent, and attorney therefor, I object
to any proceeding whereby they may be
given any rights in the matter by your
honorable board, on the ground that said
railroad company are proceeding with :
out any legal charter and any charter
rights whatever and that by crossing said
towns highway, said town of Pittsfield
would be liable for allowing nuisance
to be maintained within the limits of
such highway and I believe that said
company, having no legal charter, your
board has no jurisdiction over the
premises as set forth in such petition.
TOWN OF PITTSFIELD.
BY its Attorney, Frank w. Hovey.
Judge ". G. Philbrook of Waterville,
represented tie railroads interests in the
matter and asked for time to answer the
objections made.
The commissioners therefore continued
the hearing to the first Wednesday in
January when it will take place in Au-
gusta and the W. & @! will make answer.

JAPAN'S WONDERFUL MORNING
GLORY.

miss Eliza r. Scidmore in the Century. J
AS floral sensation. the chrysanthe-
mum may be said to have had it's day;
the carnation is going, going; and seek
ers after novelty among flower fanciers
are signing for new flower to conquer.
1t is hardly known, even to foreign resi-.
dents in Japan, that that land, which has
given us SO much of art and beauty, has
lately revived the culture of it's most re-
markable flower, the asagao, our morn
ing-glory.aa For size, beauty, range of
color and illimitable variety there at
tained,. this sunrise flower precedes all
Others until its cultivation has become
craze, which is likely to spread to other
countries, and-who knows?-perhaps
there introduce the current Japanese Gus
tom of fve-o'cIock- in the morning teas
and garden parties.
Asagao, the morning flower. is more
especially Japan's own blossom than the
chrysanthelnum, which, like it, came
from China as primitive sort of weed,
afterward to be evolved by japanese art
or magic into floral wonder of hun
dred varying forms.
We who know and grow the morning
glory as a humble backyard vine On a
string-a vine with leaves like those of
the sweet potato, and puny little pink or
purple fiowers-are as far in the floral
darkness as the Chinese, who know it
chiefly as wild thing of fields and
hedge-rows,g the vine of ''the little trum-
poets" or the dawn flower that is en-
tangled with briers and bushes for miles
alng the top of Pekin's walls The old
poetry and the old art do not seem to be
permeated with 1t. as in Japan, where
the forms of vases, bowls, and cups, the
designs and paintings of the greatest
masters, repeat the graceful lines of vine
and flowers, and scores of famous poems
celebrate the asagao in written characters
rs beautiful to the eye as is their sound to
the err.
The asagao was brought to Japan with
Buddhist religion. that particular cult
of early rising. Scholars and priests who
went over to study the new religion
brought back the seeds of many Chinese
plants. The tea plant came then, and
EisAi brought the seeds of the sacred bo-
tree; and Tai Kwan, the Chinese priest
at the Obaku temple in Vii w no may
have introduced the flower to Japan, was
one of the first to sing of the asagao in
graceful outas, classic poems which
scholarly brushes repeat today. 'sAsa-
gaos bloom and fade SO quickly, only to
prepare for the morrows' glory is Tai
kwan's best-known verse.
