Y.r. $. C. L. Convention.

In selecting Denver as the place OF
their meeting In October, the Christian
Endeavorers of the Rocky Mountain
states have selected a city sure to be
highly attractive TO the hundreds of
delegates who will be present.
The advantages Of Denver as con
vention city have been appreciated by
numerous organizations-nati in
their scope-religious fraternal, edu-
cational. or commercial in their char
acter-which have in years past chosen
that city as their rallying point. to the
great delight and satisfaction of thou
sands OF delegates who have borne
willing and enthusiastic testimony to
the wisdom of the choice. Thousands
have thus been afforded their first
glimpse of the Rocky mountains. and
their first experience of Colorado eli
mate and hospitality. But when dele
gates from all parts of our country
90 to Denver it is recognized thar,
aside from convention duties, II is not
wholly Denver which is the attraction.
Yet the city has not ceased to be Il
surprise TO those who for the first time
view its broad streets, its handsome
business blocks and its thousands of
beautiful homes.
III tuipfduO all rOauS leaI 10 Denver.
II the city is attractive to visitors from
afar. ii Is also increasingly attractive
TO its own citizens. and to their friends
throughout the West, who find pleas
ure in its many fine lawns, homes,
parks and resorts. where rest and rec
reation may bring for2etfulness of the
toll and anxiety of the day. ''Bcauti-
full for situation. the joy of the whole"
of Colorado-can well be said of
Denver. Therefore. when an inter-
state convention is called to meet in
Denver it awakens in many hearts n
desire to be present. Business in Den
yer: friends in Denver: stores. offices,
houses, churches, in Denver: above all
their convention in Denver. proves to
bean attraction not to be resisted. And
the fact that the State Christian En-
deavor Union Will hold its twelfth an
nual convention in Denver. October
~. 1900, will prove to be an attraction
to thousands of Colorado and western
Endeavorers and should bring hundreds
of them to the city at that time.

CHAFFEE'S FORCE
NEARING PEkIN.

Washington. Aug. 13.-The American
comma nder in China, in dispatch OF
tust three words received at the War
Department late this afternoon, sent a
thrill of exultation and expectancy
throughout official quarters by an
nouncing his arrival at Ho-Si-Wu, only
thirty-three miles from PekiI, last
Thursday.
The last heard of him before this was
at Yang Tsun, which has been cap
tured after a hard fight. and word Of
his movements since then had been
eagerly awaited. Thursday he was
eighteen miles beyond Yang Tsun.
Lang Fang. the place where the ILL.,
fated Seymour expedition met its fate
and turned back. had been left be-
hind. The battle of Yang Tsun was
fought on the 9th and the advance to
Ho-Si-Wu was accomplished on the
9th-a march OF eighteen miles In three
days.
This was four days ago. and at the
same rate of progress Chaffee Is even
now fairly within striking distance Of
the walls Of Pekin. II was n consum-
nation which the War Department
had awaited calmly, as II accorded
with calculations. although the adj

expected.
Word OF the advance soon spread
throughout official quarters. In the
enthusiasm report got about that this
was the day Of the actual arrival OF
Pekln, but the War Department has
not Il word of the advance beyond Ho-
Si-Wu. 1t was deemed hardly likely
that the march to Pekin could have
been made since last Thursday. At the
rate of progress, six miles a day. from
Yang Tsun to Ho-Si-Wu. about twenty
four niles would have been covered In
the last four days and up to-day this
would still leave the international
forces nine miles from Pekin.
Viewed from any standpoint, the adj
vance to Ho-Si-Wu was Of the utmost
Importance. not only stra;egetically.
but showing that communication was
open back of Che Foo. that the eN-
pected opposition from Chinese hordcs
had not been sufficient to prevent the
steady movement. and in the influence
IL would exert upon the Chinese gov

The excavations OF Mantoche
HauteSaone. upon the site of Gallo
Roman town. have brought to light the
remains of Roman villa. The work
men first came upon a beautiful hall
eight metres wide by fifteen metres
long. paved with mosaic, and with
walls covered with frescoes, some OF
which had preserved their original
freshness Of color. On each side OF the
hall were passages opening upon small
sleeping chambers or cubicles. Two
other portions of the villa have yet to
be uncovered; and It is added that the
researches give proofs that this local
ity was occupied a long time previous
10 the Gallo-Roman era.

"Fungshui.0 according to . super.

"Fungshui," according to q super
stition prevalent among the Chinese,
are certain spiritual influences acting
in particular places, which may be
friendly to one person and hostile to
another Hence TO a Chinaman it is
the greatest Importance that his home,
and more especially mis- burial-place,
shall be in that particular locality
where the "fungshui' are most favor
ably disposed toward him. This super
stition. OF sentiment, is scarcely cher
ished among the Chinese, and the dis
regard of it shown by foreign en-
gineers and railway promoters in run
ming their lines through places thus
venerated is one of the reasons given
in explanation OF the present frightful
condition of affairs in China or
