MISSIONARIES IN JAPAN.

Joseph L. N1duulA, Iuc Votci dA Ac"o"
paper man of this city, who is now in
Japan, writes an exceedingly interesting
letter to the Evening Journal, in which
he gives discouraging and gloomy out
look for Christian progress among the
subjects of the Mikado. He begins his
communication by saying that the spirit
of nationalism among the Japanese, and
which has been intensified by their vic
tory over the Chinese in the late war, is
largely responsible for their repugnance
to Christian missionaries and their doc
sionaries who say that the spirit of ma
tionalism has taken hold of the Japs 10
an extent that makes them forget all
else but country. According to the re-
ports compiled by the Protestant minis
ters in Japan, the number Of converts to
; Christianity is growing smaller year by
year. The Congregationalists report a
loss of 1000 members during 1896, not
withstanding the fact that they spend
more money in the work of evangelical
tion than any other Protestant body.
There are about $50 men and women
regularly identified with missionary
work in Japan at the present time, and
all of them who were interviewed by
Mr.. Mannix expressed themselves ASIDE
ing dissatisfied with the result of their
labor in the Lords vineyard. Another
lact stated by this correspondent is thai
many of the Japanese protesting Chris
tianity cannot be relied upon as being
sincere and honest in. their convictions.

cut to Japan 38 years ago and has re-

Practically all the missionary. work
done in Japan is under American aus
pices. The annual outlay is at least ST.
100000 and fully seven-eighths' of that
money comes from the United States.
The membership of Protestant. .organiza-
lions in Japan, according to Mr.. Mannix,
was 1920 for 1894, and 3S,710 for 1895.
He gives the membership of the Cath
olic church in the Japanese empire as
50,302, but the New York. Independent,
from official reports compiled by it, gives
as high as 52,177. The same paper
shows better standing for the Catholic
church than the statistics furnished by
the Minneapolis correspondent The

It would greatly interest many readers
of the Evening Journal to learn from
Mr.. Mannix what the Catholic mission

the gospel in "the land of the rising

more encouragingly of the progress be-

FARWELL WORSTED MILL.
The Plant to Start up on Full Time This
Week.

The Plant to Start mp on Full Time This
Week.
With the advent of McKinley's inaugu-
ration, business in this locality seemingly
Is taking on quite q boom. During the
campaign the Gold men prophesized all
kinds of prosperity II Mckinley was elect
ed, but few signs Of their forecast have been
decernable until within a week. One of
the first manufacturing places to give the
cheering news Of renewed activity and
prosperity is the Farwell Worsted plant,
situated on Mill street. This mill has been
running only five days week, but yester-
day notices were posted that the entire
plant would start up on full time.
For the past four or five months the mill
has been running the regular working
hours every day, except Saturdays, upon
which days the mill was closed down. .Ac
cording to the notices published the mill
will inaugurate the new order of things by
continuing work right through the week.
The people have been led to believe, ac-
cording to the arguments advanced by
Republicans, and all those opposed to a
moderate tariff, that the woolen indus
tries of New England were ruined under
the existing tariff, and it would be mat
ter of few months when every mill in
the country would be closed up.
Here we have plant under our personal
observation which fatty denies such
silly arguments. The tariff is in full oper-
alton, yet here is home industry which
is not only commencing to run on full
time, but some of the departments are even
now running overtime. 1t is said that the
plant cannot supply the demand, and good
proof can be brought forward by the very
fact that these changes are about to take
place. However that may be, the help in
the present instance are pleased and de-
lighted that they are liable in the near flu
ture to receive full weeks pay. 1t is
learned that the company has received
several large orders.

some little time the production Of an
opera for the benefit Of the church. The
matter was discussed pro and con for some

ly after Lent. Invitations were sent out
TO 100 or more Of the leading singers con-
nected with the Catholic parishes in this
vicinity. Last evening was the date set

A SUCCESSFUL ENDING

Com pIimentary Ball by the Cadets to Their
Friends.
A successful and fitting climax to the
recent fair, held under the auspices of the
Central Falls Cadets, took place last even
ing at their hall. The committee who had
charge of the arrangements at the recent
fair, felt very grateful to the canvassers
who assisted in the success of the fair and
determined to return, in a measure, their
appreciation of the ladies' efforts during
the time the fair was in progress.
Accordingly, the affair OF last evening
was arrrnged, and for real. genuine enjoy
ment has not been surpassed this year.
The hall was packed to the doors, the
motto of the young ladies and gentlemen
present being "dance and be merry" The
occasion was. taken also to present the
successful candidates with the presents
which their friends succeeded in capturing
for them. The festivities of the evening
opened at 9 o'clock with the grand march
which was composed of over forty couples
led by John Kaveney and Miss Rose Nc
Crattan of Attleboro, the second couple in
line being Michael Mcclure and Miss
Lizzie Allen.
The grand march was pretty creation
of fancy movements, finally ending with
the lancers, and continuing with well
selected card of dances until well after
midnight. About 10:3O o'clock President
Kavaney introduced Charles Il. McAlice,
who, in his usual captivating manner, pre-
sented the fortunate candidates with the
beautiful prizes. Mr.. McAlice, upon being
introduced, reviewed in part the history
of the Cadets from the time of their or
ganization, and complimented them upon
the principals of their organization. In
concluding, he said that those principals
which were embodied in their constitu-
tion, il followed through life, would make
them honest men and worthy citizens.
Mr.. McAlice then presented, in we'll
chosen language tinged with bright bits of
humor, the costly presents to the success
full candidates, who in return thanked the
association and their many friends for the
generous and kisd support they had re-
ceived. Miss Hannah McCrattan of Attle-
boro, the successful candidate, owing to
the injury received, was unable to be pres
ent, and her sister Rose responded in her
stead. The other successful candidates
were as follows: Macintosh, Peter Quinn
of Hebronville; lamp, Miss Nellie McIn-
tyre, Pleasant View; gold watches for
waltz prizes, Miss Julia Shea of Lonsdale
and Thomas Bannon of Providence.
