HAD HOPES OF CONCERTS SAFETY.

John Barrett Once Talked With Him About
What Might Happen In an Uprising.
New York Sun, Monday.
A number of people who are rela-
tives or friends of missionaries in north
China, called at the Waldorf-Astoria
Yesterday on Mr.. John Barrett, former
minister to Siam, and asked his assist.
ance and advice in connection with
anything that could be done directly
or indirectly, or through the depart
ment of state, for the relief or rescue
of those at Pekin and in the neighbor-
hood. Mr.. Barrett assured them that
the president and secretary of state
had done and were doing all that was
possible, and then surprised them by
stating that he still had strong hopes
that the ENJOYS at Pekin were yet
alive. In explaining this, he said: :,
"My hopes are based on several
grounds First, it is possible that the
ministers are alive, in prison, or held
as hostages pending settlement be-
tween the foreign world and the mob
which appears to be IN control. fe-
member the last time was IN Pekln
on visit to Minister Conger; in reply
to nv question of what would become
of them all in the event of a sudden
uprising-a point that is always upper
most in conversation there-he said in
effect Il do not think they would kill
US outright. They might hold US as
hostages, or for ransom, or throw us
into prison, as they did some Of the
envoys in former days. We might
suffer awful indignities, especially the
women but I don't think we would
be murdered. The Chinese have just
enough knowledge of the outer world
to fear it's revenge"
"Second-Prince Tuan and his asso-
ciates, even though brutal and anti
foreign, are bright enough to foresee
the effect on themselves if they did
rot prevent the massacre of the minis
ters. Moreover, if they had enough
order and system to direct their armed
forces and to place artillery, they

Wheat In Greenville.

Wheat In Greenville.
The Greenville News contains some
fine wheat reports. One farmer made
40 1.5 bushels to the acre on five acres.
Another made SO bushels on two acres ;
and still another 80 bushels to the
acre, on 10 acres. For week or two
theroller mills have been buying wheat
at the rate of 1900 bushels day for
80 cents a bushel. The purchases are
twice as large as last year. They
amount to $1,000 day, and this
means $1,000. daily that would
have otherwise gone into the pockets
of western farmers. The News points
out that dollar at this season goes as
far as dollar and quarter in the
fall.

CRUELTY Of THE BOXERS.

Days Of Old.

Martyr Christians Still Heroes as In the
Days of Old.
Baltimore Correspondence OF the Philadelphia
Record.
A Franciscan missionary at Shan
tung has written to the American
headquarters at St. Mary's seminary,
in this city, his letter, in part, being as
follows:
"Three hundred and fifty stations
have been destroyed. Are we dis
couraged by these calaDities? Not
at all. Our beloved Christians support
these misfortunes with greatness of
of soul that fills all with admiration.
What anguish most of them have en-
dured ....
"The death of the catechist, Nan
kuensie, of the village of Mantchouan,
prefecture of Buo-p'in, was most
edifying. Seized at Ma-kia- cha-wol,
be was stripped of his clothes, beaten
and bound. He was then questioned !:
"'Are you a Christian?'
"'Yes, I am

"'Are you still Christian
"sYes, am follower of Christ
"The other ear was then severed.
ayes or no; are you a Christian 2
"'Yes / am Christian
"That answer was his death SEN
tence. A stroke of the sword, sever
ing his head from his body, placed
him among the glorious rank of
martyrs"
Monsieur Raynaud, vicar apostolic
of Tche Glang, writes:
"In Tai Tcheou we have lost IA
chapels that remind US of the IA
stations along the way to the cross.
More than 1,400 families have been
robbed. There are many ruins to be
restored.
"a young Christian has been horri-
bly mutilated. The executioners tore
out his eyes and cut the muscles of his
feet. He lives only to suffer.
"Another poor, sick man, unable to
fee, was brutally beaten, taken from
his bed, dragged to the mountain and
buried alive. To deprive him of any
probable assistance, the horrible pre-
caution was taken of closing his mouth,
ewes and ears with mud. The last VIC
tim of hatred was catechist, 80 years
old. Three different times he escaped
death. One day, however, be was sold
by a miserable wretch. Covered with
blows, he won the crown of martyrdom
by a stroke of the sword. These pain
full incidents should discourage our
benefactors no more than they do the
missionaries. China is passing through
crisis in her history, and we see be-
yond, through tears and trials, the tri-
umph of the cross"

TAKING THE CENsUs.-"This cen

Kentucky; "but I had job of emu

in getting the ignorant and timid COL
ored people to answer my questions.
They had all sort of queer notions
about what the census was, some
for drafting the men into the army
and some thinking they were to be
put into slavery again. Many could
not be made to answer until they were
cornered and compelled to do so, and
some gave very queer answers, indeed.

We know Of large number of able
bodied young men from 20 to 25 years
old who have never saved up a dollar
and now spend every dollar they earn,
some Of them before it Is earned. 1t is
from this class that come the financial
scads of community, the fellows who
beat every man who Is foolish enough
to trust them. Here is recruited a
good many of the brake beam brigade.
the old PETERS who end their days in
county poorhouses. the class who claim
that the world owes them living
whether they work or not. We have
frequently referred to this matter of a
young man saving a part of his earn
ings. We do so once more, for we re-
gard this as matter of supreme i'm
portance in shaping the future of any
young fellow. If young man cannot
and will not save any money before he
Is 20, with no one but himself to pro-
vide for, he will In all probability be a
poor man as long as he lives.
