"A Great Life" was the subject OF an
eloquent address given before a crowd
ed house In the rooms Of the South
Scranton Young womcn's Christian as
sociation last night by a. V. Bower,
esq. The address was preceded by a
short musical entertainment
Mr.. Bower, in his opening remarks,
stated that he did not come there to
use fine, flowery expressions, or ex-
travagant figures OF speech, but simply
to give a helpful and practical tax.
"A great many people have a wrong
conception OF life" he said. Their en-
tire aim is the accumulation Of wealth
and OF the worlds goods, without put
ting 1t to any practical use whatever.
"A great life i- a life OF service, and
there Is no other greatness in the world
except servitude, and those who do
something for some one those who help
to brighten a sad life or lift burden;
live a great life in the sight Of God, II
not in the sight OF man."
He then drew several fine illustra-
tions Of the man who works for him
self alone, and the man who works for
the beneft of others.
The worlds greatest men," said he
in conclusion, are the worlds greatest
servants. God himself only is great
because he is a servant ministering to
| his people. Pick out OF the pages OF
history those men VINO are great in
mans sight. and not one Of them will
stand as great in Gods sight. The
world calls them great but they are
not great. A great life is a life that
&. something and that does something
a life that lightens burdens helps and
| cheers"

Chinese Minister Comments tn
Order for incubation.

The Chinese minister has received num-
erous kilograms from Chinese residents of
San Francisco asking him to have revoked
the order that they shall be inoculated with
the anti-plague serum. The situation in
San Francisco, he said, Is very grave, as
the Chinese have great fear of this treat
ment, and serious trouble may ensue If 1t
is continued The minister commented
upon the fact that the whites are not being
inoculated. and expressed the opinion that
it was not fair The minister received a
telegram from the Chinese consul general
at San Francisco yesterday, which states
that after a thorough investigation the
state board of health has officially declared
that there is no plague in San Francisco.
The federal doctors, however, are prevent
ing Cinnamon from leaving or entering the
city unless inoculated. The few healthy
Cinnamon who submitted to the opera
ton, says the telegram. at once became
very i'll and are now In dying condition.
All doctors, says the consul general, agree
that incubation is dangerous. There should
be no cause for surprise. the minister
thought, If under such circumstances the
ignorant Chinese should think there was a
conspiracy to kill them. The serum might
be good for other people. but for the Chi
nese 1t might be very bad thing. The
minister has asked the surgeon general Of
the marine hospital service to have the in
ocuIation stopped and a promise was made
to bring the matter to the attention of the
Treasury Department. If this does not Sc
cure satisfactory results. the Chinese min
lister said he will make representations to
the State Department.

THE BUsTLE AT CAPE TOWN.
Consul General Stowe Describes Ac.
tivity Caused by the Wnr.

Consul General Stowe at Cape Town has
made a report to the State Department,
| dated April IL. giving mnay Interesting
| facts illustrative of the activity in that
| town. created by the war. The United
States consulate itself felt the pressure
heavily. The mail business was overwhelm-
ing. owing to the numerous applications to
the consulate from friends in the United
States of Americans who had drifted into
South Africa. over 800 such men came 10
Cape Town on transports in charge of mules
and looked to the American consul general
to care for them. Many of these men en-
listed in the British army; some obtained
positions of various kinds and others were
sent home by the consul general with funds
supplied by their friends in America. There.
was much work to do in seeing that the
mails for these persons reached them, and
the consulate required to readiness
over 1000 letters. Then there were re-
nittances of money coming from all quar-
tiers for the relief of the prisoners of war,
to which the consul general was expected
to give his attention.
Mr.. Stowe says that in the midst of the
rush coal famine occurred, owing in part
tC the closing of the coal mines by the
Beers. He Is confident of large market
for American steam coal next year, mas
much as Welsh coal has been selling for
$40 and $25 per ton. The report states that
a happy conclusion would soon be reached
of the cases of seized American goods on
the Mashona. Beatrice and Maria. The
ccnsignees paid most of the bills drawn
upon them. so that with few exceptions,
the possession of the goods had passed and
the claims for delay must be settled ne
tween the consignees in South Africa and
the British government. Foreign horses do
not last at the Cape but double up and
die" to use the local expression, and the
movements of the British army have been
much delayed owing to the inability to
secure the necessary number of horses 1t
was reported that between 10000 and 49,
600 horses had been purchased in the United
States Already 10000 had arrived at the
Cape for the army. The consul general
reports great business activity regardless of
the war and says that many large munich .
pal works projected to be put into exc
cution at the conclusion of the war
