The American 'Bib.e society has re-
ceived from its correspondent in Shang-
hal an account OF the recent eXamipa-
tion for the master of degrees among
students. In all former years the que3-
tions asked of the candidates have been
on literary lines, and have been limited
to the literature of China. The prof
cheney Of the candidates is said TO have
been shown by their familiarity with
the classics and the books of Chinese
authors since the days of Confucius.
This year the imperial edict directed
that the questions to be asked and an
swered should relate to matters Of inp
portance at the present time. The fol
lowing surprising question was read by
10000 pupils in one of the examination

LETTER FROM ALASKA.
Disbursements of Mankato Man
Who Is There.

J. E. Muzzy has received letter
from W. S. Keene, dated at Fort
Selkirk Sept. 18th, in which he says:
II am at present working for saw
mill company opposite Fort Selkirk
on the Yukon river, about two miles
below the mouth Of the Pelly. l
have been here about two weeks. l
am getting S75 per month and board.
How long shall remain here do not
know, as everything is SO unsettled
and uncertain in this country as yet
that one cannot rely upon anything,
but if possible I will remain here till
spring. The wages that / am receiv-
ing are very small for this country
but feel that it is better for me to
stay here at those wages until I get
better acquainted with the country
than to start off on some risky pro-
position and get broke. To the great
mass of people who came into this
country the trip has been disastrous
one. The expense Of getting here has
been great and many have spent the
savings of years getting here only to
be disappointed in the hope that i'm
mense wealth awaited them here, and
so many of them are turning back. l
think it will be safe to say that next
spring will find not more than twen-
ty-five per cent of the people here
that came in with the rush last
spring.
"You will probably wonder why 1
have not gone on to Dawson, where
the gold is, for there is gold there
and immense quantities of it also.
There are many more men in Dawson
than are needed when the mines are
all in operation. The majority of
the mines will not be worked this
winter on account of the excessive
royalty required by the Canadian
government. So you see there will
be no alternative for the people that
are not needed. They will 60 out.
81 do not wish to criticise the Ca
madam government too severely. but
it looks as though they bad made
laws on purpose to discourage mining
in this country.
dawson has been very unhealthful
this summer on account of the sani'
tarY conditions existing there. Three
of our boys have gone to Dawson with
RATS of wood and lumber, and 1 hope
to get a letter from home on their re.
turn, as I have heard from no one
since 1 left Seattle"

UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICE.

At the Baptist church, Rev. Sher-
mao Hill, of the First Church of
Christ, delivered worthy sermon on
The Grace of Gratitude" in which
he set forth the reasons for our turn
ing cur attention from the evils and
sins of the day, and on this Thanks
giving day looking at the blessings
with which our lives are crowned.
The sermon was full of hope and en-.
enlargement. The speaker gave a
very clear review of the events of the
past especially of the year just gone,
and showed how in the humiliation
of space and distance, through in
vention, we were living in year more
than our forefathers lived in score
of years.
This was the first time the people
outside of his own church have heard
Mr.. Hill, and they were pleased to
find the Christian church had been so
fortunate in securing a man of
thought, of earnestness, and who in
his discussions shows fine sense for
good diction and forcible expression.

Snowfall of a Foot Accompanied by a
Sixty-Mile Wind.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The blizzard of
Saturday and Sunday has transformed
the city into a spectacle of glistening
white of surprising beauty, the peculiar
ity of the storm being the encrusting of
every window, sides of buildings and
trees with snow and ice. Nearly foot
of snow fell during the storm and for a
time the wind blew at the rate of 55 to
60 miles an hour. Suburban traffic was
blocked for several hours in the morn
ing and after that trains ran at long in
tervals. All trains were delayed. The
terrific blow of Saturday night did much
damage to the small shipping in New
York harbor. 1t is reported that several
tug boats belonging to the Kingston
Towing company, together with large
number of canal boats were sunk up the
river by the force of the gale. The
shores of the Hudson are Uttered with
wreckage.

Do Not Give Up in De-
spair-There is Hope!

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, land is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons
knife because the blood can not be cut
uWdy.
Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer On her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. Itrefused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tors treated it for quite while but

AT THE POOR FARM.
A Compulsory and Yet Most Delightful
Visit at the Blue Earth County
Institution.

Monday, Nov. IA, toward evening,
on my way back. from Decoria, where
1 left an appointment for tine follow
ing Sunday and also visited some, l
passed near the county poor farm.
Ever since I have been engaged in
missionary work az years. l have
made it point to visit public institu-
tions of charity. Accordingly 1
tur ned in and found Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis, who are in charge of the home
SAID to be. After supper arrange
ments were made in their own pri-
vate sitting room to seat the in
mates, privilege not accorded in
many institutions Of the kind. l
preached in both German and Eng
lish, singing and prayers were rem
dered in both languages alternately.
The Lords Prayer was the theme. II
the shining faces told anything, 1t
was enjoyed by the inmates, We
trust it became real soul food and
balm for the lonely aching hearts, as
also warning for the careless.
Having had an invitation to supper
at the poor farm Sunday evening, /
returned after organizing the Sunday
school at Decoria. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis and the little missionary came
to Mankato to attend the union
meetings. leaving my horse on the
farm, as / supposed till Monday morn
ing to rest, On Monday morning, /
realized, however, that l really was
in Minnesota and / felt little like
starting for Mankato with horse and
buggy that morning nor the follow
ing either.
On Monday evening we had a SINH
lar meeting to that week previous,
our theme this time being the
eleventh commandment. We all
seemed to feel it was good to be
there. visited the inmates singly
as well as collectively. While at the
farm I found it a ver1tabe home for
those there. Never in my expert
ences in the past have found such
kindness and consideration shown on
the part of the Overseer and matron
as at this home. Cleanliness and
good circulation of air seem estab-
lished factors at the home. Blue
Earth county poor house lacks the
usual poor house odor, which used to
make my visits to those places such
sore trial to me.
What haven of rest this is to the
poor storm tossed heart of father or
mother, who are denied the needed
comfort or love by cruel or indiffer-
ent sons or daughters, or the one en-
tirely friendless in this world. Mrs.
Lewis must have large and warm
heart to judge from the kind actions
here and there and when the testi-
monies of those to whom she min
listers are taken into account. They
just love her. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Lewis seem much appreciated by the
inmates. was delighted with the
arrangements of the new barn etc.
Had not feared visit Of the county
commissioners there is no telling how
much longer I should have stayed, so
/ left Wednesday.

Thirty Small Craft Wrecked in

eral Lives Lost.

Boston, Nov. ga record breaking
November blizzard swept over the
greater portion of New England during
the past "a hours completely demoraliz-
ing traffic of every description and well
nigh paralyzing Geographic and tele-
phonic communication, while the north
east gale, coming on high course of
tides, drove the sea far beyond its usual
limits and made mark along shore,
exceeded only by the memorable hurri-
cane of 1851. During the gale 80
barges and schooners lying in the har-
Dor were wrecked and sunk and at least
10 lives were lost.
Snowfall of Two Feet.
While the storm was heaviest in the
southeast portion of New England the
whole district was affected, and expe-
rienced snowfall of from to "a
inches. Fortunately the storm was her
aided sufficiently in advance by the
weather bureau to detain most of the
coastwise shipping in safe harbors, but
the warming was entirely unheeded and
ignored by those on shore with the re-
suit that nearly everyone, especially the
railroads and electric companies, were
caught mapping and suffered according
ly. Trains north, east, south and west
were nearly all stalled early in the
night, although one train from Bangor
reached Lynn during the morning and
two Chicago trains came into the city in
the evening.
Worst Storm in Many Years.
The storm was the worst in the vicin-
ity for II years. There was no attempt
to run more than dozen cars ON Wash
ington street and others of the main
thoroughfares. The storm, though not
as farreaching and terrible in its effects
as the frightful blizzard of last Febru-
airy, yet it was the heaviest felt in this
city for series of years.
Only the barest facts have been re-
ceived from the coast towns, but even
those reports gave the gravest fears as
to the safety of what little shipping
may have been off Cape Cod during the
past two or three days. 1t may be sew
eral days before complete list of the
disasters can be made known.

Severe Storm of Wind and Snow General
Throughout Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-A blizzard
has ragged furiously for "a hours. AS
unexpected as it was violent, it wrought
great havoc not only here, but through
the entire state. In those "a hours the
snowfall reached depth of over nine
inches and the wind a velocity of 45
miles an hour. These figures are unpre-
cedented in the November records of
the local weather bureau, and the Off
Gals there say that the storm in general
was the worst since the memorable biz
card of 1883. In this city traffic of
every kind, as well as wire communica-
ton, was crippled. A number of ves-
sells off the Capes were unable to get
into the harbor and it is feared that
there have been heavy losses.

A SMALL BLAZE.
Masters & McLauren's Plumbing Shop
ScOrcked Thursday.

At about three o'clock Thursday
afternoon, fire was discovered in the
rear of the building occupied by
Masters & McLauren as a plumbing
shop, next to John Klein & Co.
store on South Front street. An
alarm was turned in from box 35, and
the fire department soon had stream
Of water on.
The fire caught from,the chimney
and worked it's way into the wood
work, as the building is an old frame
one. 1t took some hard work to get
at the fire in order to completely ex-
tinguish it, but it was eventually
done by Chief Phillips boys.
The damage will probably not ex-
coed S25. The building is owned by
L. G.. M. Fletcher, and was formerly
occupied by ]. M. Karmany's meat
market.
