AUTUMN SHOPPING HINTS.

L. S. Plaut & Co., of the Newark
Bee Hive" report many arrivals of
rich fall novelties and personal wear.
In view of the fact that it is often
impossible to repeat exclusive designs
later on, we suggest selections at
the earliest date possible to avoid
disappointment.

Rev. H. F. Rowe, of Nan Chang Foo.
China, formerly pastor of the M. E.
Church at Whippany, and graduate
of the Drew Seminary in the class of
'97, writes to Whippany friends that
he and his family have been ordered
out of China by our Consul. His let
ter is dated at Shanghai, July %, and
states that they are on their way to
Kobe, Japan, where they will be un-
der the protection of the American
Consulate. Mr.. Rowe and his wife,
who was Miss Margaret Nelson, of
Pennsylvania, were sent to China by
the Methodist Mission Board two
years ago.

Canton, China, July 8, 1900

Canton, China, July 8, 1900.
My Dear Mr.. Tallmadge:
1 have just completed the rounds
of my stations and have now little
more time. For three months was
continuously in the country visiting
chapels and experimenting the work.
1t is only nine months since my return
and during these months have con-
Quoted 40 communion services besides
conducting over 100 other services and
examining and baptizing about l40
men and women. The work during
the six months after nv return was
very encouraging but in the last three
months the rumors of co ming trouble
have kept good many from seeking
admission to the church. There has
been a spirit of unrest and uncertain
ty for some time which has interfered
with the work. AS you already know
the troubles have come to head in
and about Peking. OF this I need
not write as you are doubtless better
informed than we are. Up to the
present time we have not been disturb
ed but we cannot tell what the fu-
ture has in store for us. The consul
has ordered all the women and children
away and most of the wives are in
Hong Kong or Macao with the chill
dren. l think it very probable that
we may not be disturbed here at all.
The Viceroy, Lii Hung Chang, is taking
every precaution to keep the people in
hand. He has made short work with
the lawless fellows who have fallen
into his hands. During the few
months since he assumed Office over
500 have been put to death. The
Cantonese though they do not like
him are highly pleased with the way
he has kept order.
It is too early to forecast the future
of our work. We are all hoping that
now the foreign powers have taken the
matter in hand, the matter of the
future of China may be settled. What
may be done cannot now be told, but
surely after this exhibition of insanity
ON the part of the Chinese govern
ment the powers will take such mea-
sures as will prevent like occurrence
in the future. There does not appear
any desire to divide the country and
yet this may come to pass which
would not, l think, help matters very
much. If division takes place
France would put in strong claim
for this part of the empire. OF course
our mission WORK Wocld Surfer under
French control
Last Sunday conducted the Lord Is
supper in the Church in the City.
All kinds of reports regarding the
doings up north had been spread
through the city and the Christians
were very much disturbed. So we
thought it would quiet and encour-
age the brethren to have our service
as usual. / think some of the people
were little surprised to see foreign
er on the streets as the report had
been circulated that all the foreigners
had left. The Christians turned out
in good numbers and the services
passed off very quietly and pleasantly.
My duty is so fan. as am able to
preach the gospel to every creature.
With kind regards to all,
Yours truly,
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1900-08-31
INTERESTING LETTERS.

has everything it's own way at present.
We have here a number of Scotch
and Irish missionaries from Man
churia, to the north of China proper,
who left at almost an hours notice.
AS soon as they left, their homes.
churches and hospitals were all
burnt to the ground. Their native
pastors are some in hiding and some
they know nothing about. Many of
the Christians in their churches have
persisted. Tales like this are coming
from all sides. There are few of us
who have not friends in Peking, or
some of the inland stations, such as
Pao- Ting Flu, where our Board has a
station.
AS vet things have been fairly quiet
on the Yam Use Kiang, though there
is much unrest everywhere. Our
Marking Viceroy has stood up + or order
and law like a man. He is over three
provinces, and as yet has checked all
tendency to disorder When the set
thing up of the affair comes, his name
should be remembered for good, as he
has so far proved himself a good
friend of the foreigers, and indeed of
the Chinese, too.
There will be great many refugees
in Japan this summer, missionaries
and others. People driven from their
bones in the North must come here
or go to Shanghai, and the latter place
is very much overcrowded already.
If it is not possible to return to Nan
king in the fall, we may stay in this
neighborhood but, as / said before,
it is not possible to make plans
If ever China needed prayers it is
at this time May we not ask your
constant prayers that all this blood
shed and disorder may be overruled
to the opening up of the country to
the Gospel, and that God would save
and strengthen His church here in this
time Of fierce trial?
Your sincere friend,
SAMUEL COCHRAN.

GLENDowER---" I can call Sbi,1ts

HoTsPUR-" Why, SO can /, or
so can any man.
But 0O1U they come 70hen 1ou do

How quickly Hotspur's wise and witty
retort tears the tragic mantle in which
Glendower stalks, and shows beneath
the seers robe, the motley of the mounte-
bank. Most people would have taken
the Welchman at his word, and called
him seer, without noting the difference
between to call and to command.
Certain points of comparison are sug-
gested between Glendower's tragic claim
and the comic claim made in some spe-
cious advertisements. 81 am a woman,
know all about woman. / understand
woman, and | can cure woman because l
am woman." The modern Mrs. Hot
spur puts her finger right on the weak
spot of that clamorous claim by saying:
"Why if you can cure woman simply
because you are a woman, then so can
and SO can any woman" Which very
plainly brings out the common sense
fact that the cure of diseases does not
depend upon being man or being a
w0man but does depend upon being a
trained and experienced bhjSiciaN.
There is, as far as is known, no quail
fed woman physician associated with
any proprietary medicine firm. 1t is cer-
tain that there is no one, man or woman,
who can show all experience or record

IDLE HOURS.
All Successful Men Turn Odd Moments to
Profit.

IVlIlt
The following editorial appeared in
a recent issue of the New York Even
ing Journal, in reply to letter from
a subscriber. 1t is one of the best
that we have seen on the subject, and
is peculiarly valuable to the young
man; hence our reproduction:
"The schools may do great deal for
a youth, but he can do more for him
self.
THAT is, what he makes of himself
depends uDon himself, and not up n
the things that schools tumble into his
head like loads of coal into cellar
"You can overcome any defect of ed
ucation if you care enough about it to
try.
1T is not much harder than to learn
to dance or play pocket pool, and is
about billion times more satisfactory.
"The ground that may be covered
by the systematic use of even a small
part pf what we call idle time is
amazing.
George Grote, the great Greek his
torian, was a banker. He had his eve
nings to himself. By resolutely devot-
/ ing a short time every evening to
study in a few years he had taught
himself Greek, mastered the whole
range of Greek literature, filled his
mind with the knowledge of Greece.
and written his history an imperish-
able monument of learning and re-
search.
HE did that with about half an
hour every night.
Another man took fifteen minutes
a day, and in ten years had so saturat-
ed himself with the choicest works of
English literature that he had expert
knowledge of them.
"There is man in New York who
taught himself German by studying it
while riding on the u between his
office and his home
"He had formerly spent that time
in mental vacuity-torper. Now he
gets a great profit out of it, for he is
reading the best of books in the rich
German literature.

amples to lengths that might be tire.

valuable in life. There never was a

ually wasted them who didn't end in
a failure.
1T is rather an odd thought but per.
fectly true, that there is at this nom
ent probably not one poorly hard
working young man-clerk, stenogra
pher, salesman, artisan, laborer, Office
boy whatever he may be-that has no
ample time to make himself a great
success in life. just as there are few
that will make themselves anything
but comparative failures. And what
will chiefly determine one way or the
other are the idle hours, you can be
very sure of that"

MILLION DOLLAR LUMBER FIRE
Yards at Ashland. Wis.,. supply Food for
Conhagratton.


Ashland. Wis.,, Aug. G.-Nearly a
million dollars worth of lumber was
burned in the Barker IL Stewart and
keystone Lumber companies yards at
Ashland Saturday afternoon. Almost
5o000,000 feet of lumber was burned,
and two of the Keystone's h'amways
aDd four out of five of the Barker n
Stewart tramways were burned to the
waters edge with all their lumber.
The fire started in the Barker & Stewart
yards at l p. IN, jumped a quarter of
mile to the Keystone yards, setting
fire to the west tramway. leaped over
the middle tramway, which did not
burn, and caught on the east tramway.
The fire next leaped across the lime,
salt ard cement dock, destroying the
warehouse containing several thou
sands dollars worth of merchandise,
and destroying a quarter of n mile of
dock and railroad track. Over 1000
ing up the lumber piles, and after
three hours desperate fight both mills
were saved. OF the lumber destroyed
10000 feet belonged TO Gilbert and
nearly all of the rest on both docks
belonged to the Edwards Hines Lum-
Der company, of Chicago.
At 6 p. m. a gale OF wind began to
blow from the lake and for awhile it
looked as though Ashland's fire trou-
bles We're only just beginning, but
just as hope was about abandoned a
drenching rain fell and saved the city.
There was a report that four men lost
their lives, but it is not confirmed.

A mob of over 1000 was in waiting.
The policemen refused TO allow them
to get out OF the car, and amid cheers
and shouts they went on to Ashland,
fourteen miles east. There they at
tempted to hire a carriage to drive
here. But all the liverymen refused
their requests.
They telegraphed back at noon that
they would be here again at 2:20. and
they came. Nearly 1000 people were
at the station, and again they We're
not permitted to leave the car. They
then said: IF we can't get off here We
will go on to Chicago, but We cannot
promise that we will not be back here
