MEMORIES OF GARFIELD.
Anniversary Services at Vermont
Avenue Christian Church.


Avenue Christian Church.
The Life and Character Of President
Garfield" was the subject of the discourse
by The Rev. Mr. F. D. Power, pastor of the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church. last
night The subject was chosen in COM
memoration Of the sixty-eighth anniver-
sary Of Gar6elds birth. The sermon was
reminiscent and fun of personal incidents
which emphasized the simple manliness
and Christian fOrtitude Of the martyTed
President
President Garfield was a member of this
church and Rev. Mr.. Power was his pas
tor. He recited the vgils of fearful prayer
which had been daily held in the church
during the time the wounded President lay
between life and death. He pictured the
sorrow of the nation when the end came
and told Of the tributes paid by loyal
populace as the funeral train sped toward
the West
The speaker had been the personal friend
Of the dead President. He had known him
before he was President. He had been
drawn 10 him through admiration of his
noble qualities, his simplicity. and SINGER
ity. The Presidents life in Washington
was then taken up. He was constant at
tendant a church, and in his official ca
paCity he had done much to advance the
cause of Christianity In this connection
was mentioned Garfeld's action in putting
the Bible into the hands Of the regular
soldiers of the United States Army and his
quelling OF riots in New York by reciting
the words Of the prophet. Justice and
judgment are the habitation of his throne"
In his last days the wounded President
eyinced a faith in God which the speaker
declared would ever live as priceless
heritage TO the American people in the way
OF an example. Garfield forgaye his slayer,
and had he lived would have pardoned the
doer of the fendish deed, concluded the

CONCERTS AT THE COLUMBIA.
The Banda ROssa Heard by Enthusi-
astic Audiences.

Perhaps from a financial viewpoint, the
managers of the Banda Rosa, which was
heard twice yesterday at the Columbia
Theatre, would have done we'll had they les
sened the period intervening between their
first local concert and their last two; with
an outlook to the reputation of their or
gaufZation, they could have been no wiser
than in waiting nearly three years TO re-
turn. For the Washington debut Of Eu-
geuio Sorrentino and his musicians, at the
National, not only resulted in their acquir-
ing such a name as would have proven
valuable property Immediately after, but II
resulted also in the establishment OF a
standard most difficult to maintain. That
this standard was not quite maintained in
the Luckctt & Dwyer house can be said
fairly after one has explained that the de-
gree OF merit substituted was but little
lower The Banda Rosa of 1899 has been
surpassed in this decade only by the Banda
Rosa of 1896.
The audiences gathered at the Columbia
were not large but they were wonderfully
enthusiastic Without exception. every
number on the programme was encOred,
the responses taking the form of such
selections as The Georgia Campmeeting'
ard Because 1 Love You selections
which invariably are conceded by conduct

size the difference between the sublime and
the ridiculous. The Banda Rosa played
with spirit and intelligence. getting from
its instruments tOnal subtlety such as is
heard rarely save from an orchestra. The
building of climaxes in the works given
particularly in the overture from Tam
hauser" and in the excerpts from Car
men"-was remarkable. Neither John
Philip Sousa nor Dan Godfrey ever at
tanned such dynamic effects or such con-
trastive climaXes. The organization showed
perfect balance too, and otherwise was
almost entirely commendable.

THE CHINESE MARKETS
Increasing Imports of American
Goods Reported.
British Experts Testify to the Low
Prices and Fine Quality of Food
stuffs and Manufactures From This
Country-EngIand and Other Ma
tions Losing This Growing Trade.

American products seem to be gaining
more rapidly in favor in China than those
of any other nation. The annual report Of
the inspector general of customs of China
covering the year 1898. just received by
the Treasury Bureau Of Statistics, shows an
increase Of nearly 40 per cent in imports
into China from America, while the in
crease in total imports is less than per
cent Imports into China from America in
1898 were 17,163. .312 Haflwan taels, against
12,440,3O2 taels in 1897, an increase of A.
23O10 taels, while those from Great Brit
ain, America s most active rival in Ori-
entail trade, fell from fO,015.5S7 taeIs in
1897, to 3f.962,4 taels in 1898. and those
from the Continent of Europe also showed
slight reduction, being 10 $50, ,73S taels
against Il,SC0, 974 taels. The imports into
China from Hougkong are of course. large
ly of European origin, and amounted in
1898 to 9I,214,0l1 taels, against sc l25. .S87
taels in 1897. Even assuming that all OF
the imports into China from HongkOng and
Macao are Of European origin, and Combin-
ing them with those from Great Britain ana
the Continent of Europe they make a
grand total of European products imported
into China in 1898 of 1l6 376.946 Haikwan
taels in value. against 145 457 .926 taels for
1897. thus showing a gain in European
products imported into China in 1898 OF
less than l per cent. while those from
America. as already indicated. show gain
of nearly 40 per cent.
The following table shows the imports
into China from all countries in which the
total exceeded 100000 Haikwan taels. The
value Of the Haikwan tael, according to the
latest estimate of the Director Of the United
States Mint, is 71.S cents.

such a revolution of things that in the end
the 40ooGO.000 or more Chinese would be-
come Christians.
He expected that the time was at hand
when million heathens would be con
yerted TO the Christian faith annually:
further that when a call was made for
Christians to go forth and teach the Bible
he believed that 1t would bring as prompt
a response as a call for volunteers to fight
for their country In closing Bishop Tho
burn earnestly asked that the congregation
contribute freely to the missionary work
now in progress He asked for $4,000, and
a special collection was taken up for the
purpose Of raising this amount.
