WORDs0F CHEER and HOPE

tits one of the compensations
in life-where we all are more or
less given to thinking that the
best is not good enough for US
to sit now and then at the thea
tire; or the open air concert, at
the side of the man who gives a
hearty round of applause to
whatever strikes his fancy, and
cries out "That's all right !"
He is generally slangy sort OF
fellow, of course, with a pink
striped shirt, and a free and easy
way; but he has got a glad hand
and a cherry smile, and he's all
right. Preaching isn't in his
line, you know, and he would
never dream of setting up for an
example in the community, but
all the same he is the kind of a
missionary the world most needs.
Most of us feel that when things
come our way we are getting
nothing more than we deserve,
and we take the best without q
thought of gratitude or apprecia-
ton. If the music is divine, if
the actor thrills us with the
magic of his art; if our friend is
dong something great and fine,
we take it as our due. 1t is not
that we are unmindful, but we
save our appreciation to put into
florid eulogies, and carve in the
cold marble that rests on uncom-
pretending breasts. We forget
how often the heart may have
hungered for a word of praise.
how often the spirit may have
yearned for some sign that we
eomprehended, how even the
bravest may sometimes need to
be cheered on to victory. Not
so the genial optimlst His phil
osophy may be no more than a
general belief that everything is
bound to turn out all right some
how, sometime, but he gives his
fellow creatures the benefits OF
his belief as he goes along. If
he sees some man making brave
fight against almost overwhelm-
ing odds, or struggling against
some temptation that is about to
engulf him again. You're all
right - he cries, and it gives
fresh courage and strength to the
struggler. 1t may be only the
touch of pathos in a girls song.

3. < .. Reorganization.

BALTIMORE. December 1.-THE trou-
bic between The Reorganization Commit
tee OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company and the Central Ohio Railroad
Company Is not yet adjusted and there
is a prospect of q bitter contest between
the opposing interests. A majority off
tho stockholders Of the Central Ohio
Railroad Company have accepted fhe
proposition OF the Reorganization Com
mittee for a settlement. and a special
committee is now engaged in negotiating
the settlement. which provides for an
exchange of two shares of Central Ohio
stock fon one share of new Baltimore
and Ohio preferred stock when issued
the holders Of the former 10 receive also
a bonus of $3.50 a share.
There IS a minority however, which,
IS strongly opposed 10 the settlement on
the terms proposed. The interests Of this
faction are being looked after by a local
committee. which has sent circulars 10
the stockholders advising against accept
ing the proposition of the Reorganization
Committee. Among other reasons they
cite is that without the requirement by
purchase OF the stock of the Central Ohio
the Baltimore and Ohio cannot be reor-
ganizei without foreclosure, and that 10 is
the evident desire Of the REORGANIZATION
Committee to avoid foreclosure In order
20 retain the old charter granted by the
State Of Maryland. which gives the pro-
perty tax exemption Of $4,000 n year.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.
A Royal Decree That Native OFFICIALS
Must Recognize and Protect Them

WASHINGTON. December l5.-Special.
Minister Conger sends from Pekin, under
date OF October Y, 1898, translation OF q
decree By the Empress Dowager IN re-
gard To the treatment Of foreigners, es"
peciauv missionaries, residing in emma
as follows: ..,,.r
From the opening Of ports TO foreign
trade to the present time, foreigners
and Chinese have been as one FANNY
with undivided interests, and since ms
sionaries from foreign countries are HF-
ing in the interior, we have decreeu, ho1
three or four times but many tlIhes'
that the local officials must proleCs
them: that the gentry and people OF all
thc provinces must sympathize with our
desire for mutual benevOlence; that they
must treat them truthfully and honestly
without dislike or suspicion, with the
hone of lasting peaceful relations.
"R,.oe8tly there have been disturb
ances I'm the provinces which 1t has been
irnpossible TO avoid. There have been
several cases Of riot IN Szechuan, which
have not been settled. The stupid and
ignorant people who circulate rum0rs ana
stir Up strife, proceeding from light TO
grave differences are most truly TO ne
detested. On the other hand. the officials,
. who have not been able at convenient
seasons 10 properly instruct the people
and prevent disturbances, can not be
excused from censure.
1--WE now especially decree again thai
AL high provincial officials, wherever
there are churches, shall distinctly IN
struct the local officials to most respect
fully obey our several DEGREES to recog.
nize and protect the foreign missionaries
as they go 10 and fro, ana TO treat then

fulfill their duties. that there may be n'
ouarreis or dsagreements
wherever there are foreigners traVei'
ling from place TO place. they must surely
be protected and the extreme limit OF our
hospitality extended
after the issue OF this decree. If there
is any lack Of preparation and disturb

asked IN regular theatres. The nor-
city Of going 10 the theatre while being
whirled across the country day or night
IS expected 10 appeal strongly 10 ma
jority OF travellers. The idea Of adapting
the ordinary day coach in this way was
suggested to Mr. Harley by the custom
OF the Christian Endeavor and other re-
lgious societies OF holding services while
en-route to their conventions. The
theatrical car will be built with special
attention 10 the problem Of shutting ont
as much noise as possible. and the stage
will be provided with a powerful sound
ing board.
