SUNDAY GOLF AND GAMBLING.
Newport Fashionables Taken 20 Task by
Rev. DIR. Hamilton.

Newport r. l., Aug. 5.-Sunday golf
and the fayOrite diversion among the
summer colony Of bridge whist for stakes
were denounced, and the fashionable folk
who play them were severely arraigned
by Rev Dr.. Braddin Hamilton. Of New
ork, in his sermon at All Saints Chapel
this morning. The congregation repre-
sented the most exclusive social circle of
the country
In part DR.. Hamilton said af>er telling
how the whole country looks upon its So
ciety people as the leaders:
SHOW the people of this country that
the boastful. vulgar. brainless spendthrift
Is not the ideal citizen Of this country
There are a good many people who might
be excused if they spend Sunday in recre-
alton and amusements, but the people Of
Newport have no such excuse. and the
young men or young women who will de-
sert church on Sunday morning and go
and play golf have very little respect for
themselves and far less for the cOmmu-
nifty which they are leading IN the wrong
Another example, the last and proba-
bly, the most important, is the introduc-
tion Of petty gambling. We have reason
10 believe, with great regret, that such
custom has been practiced and is being
practiced in many Of the cottages at New
port this season Ii is safe TO say, if
gambling Is established here as an amuse-
ment in respectable homes. that inside Of

HEEDED THE FIRST WARNING.
Timely Flight of American Missionaries
fFOm Ching Chow.

San Francisco, Aug 5-Rav r. H Bent.
Of Philadelphia, a Presbyterian mission
airy, who was forced to fee TOR mis- life
from Ching Chow, in the province of
Skan Tung. China, has arrived here with
his wife and two children on their way
East. Mr.. Bent said:
Ching Chow is the location Of one Of
the newest Presbyterian missions in
China, and is situated 800 miles north
west Of Shanghai on the grand canal
Warned by the threats Of he pillaging
hordes and by the massacres of mission
aries and native Christians not many
miles from OuI station we escaped from
there on June H. packing a few belong

journey Gt $50 miles to the .earest inland

had to be left, behind, including my Ii
brary. aud l suppose they are destroyed
by this time. Fortunately, we were not
personally assisted by the Chinese, but
we were in constant terror Of heing mas
sacred. and were glad to escape with our
lives. With us on our trip from Ching
Chow was Miss Marshall, who was con-
nected with another mission.
"The section OF country about Ching
Chow is not infested with Boxers. but
with the marauders OF an organization
called the Great Knife Society. which
believe is the parent society. Originally
it was organized for defense against the
murderous robbers who persistently lar
assed the country TO the westward, and
numbered among its members reputable
Chinese and wealthy merchants. 1T soon
began to use its power for other ami ul-
terror PURPOSES.
