Is there One who rules above?
Dare We claim, this God hasusold me, 49, :

Was it God or Law that rated

Tell us where We gained your knowledge,

Did the Christ whom We are preaching,

Has the Christ that We are teaching,

Should He now attend your meeting,
Try to cheer the poor who mourn;
Would We give Him friendly greeting,
With His clothes all soiled and worm

Then We talk of Christian love;
Though an earthly home denying.
Tell them of a home above.
Ye but mock them. still We wonder,
Why the poor ye cannot reach;
Why they cast your church 'asunder,
Nor believe the word ye preach,
Usury, as we'll We know it,
Binds our letters fast and strong;
Yet We never dare to show it.
Though your Bible says tits wrong.

FROM THE CHINESE VIEWPOINT.
Minister WI Talks on the Troubles In
His Country,

Minister WI Talks on the Troubles In
His Country.
Mr.. WI Ting Fang, Chinese minister to
the United States, addressed the Outlook
Club last night in Montclair. N. ]. 1.-The
Causes of the Unpopularity of Foreigners
in China was the minister's subject. He
said 1t was a delicate one to approach, be-
cause he would have to tell the facts from
the viewpoint OF a Chinaman, and excep-
ton might be taken to some things he
might say, as they might appear offensive
but 1t must be remembered that they were
the truth from the standpoint of a China
man.
The Chinese, he said, were not originally
opposed to foreigners. They had been ad-
mitted and advanced to posts of high honor
because the first corners adopted the best
customs of the country in which they were
Confucius taught all men to be kind to
the stranger from afar Marco Polo had
long ago occupied position of great honor
and trust under the Chinese government
Other had lived in China and been
honored and respected.
To his mind the change was caused by
the difference between the foreigner in
China today and those of long ago. One
class of foreigner in China was the mer-
chant and trader. Their only object seemed
to be to get as much as possible out of
the country and to give as little as posi-
There We're those among the missionaries
who had contributed toward the i'll feeling
While some were as noble men as ever
lived, there were others who We're too au-
Gacious and who wanted to convert vast
nation from an ancient belief all at once
and because China did not adopt their
teachings they slandered China and the
Chinese. They were in too much of a
hurry
Converts. too, had done their share to-
ward the change in feeling. because when
they had come Into close union with the
offending foreigner they took on some of
his ways and gave offense to those who
had been his friends.
The remedy he proposed was for the for
eigner to treat the Chinaman more as a
brother who had not the advantages of
education, and to try and lift him to the
level the foreigner thought he occupied,
but not to do so contemptuously Free IL
brarfes In China would teach the Chinaman
much about other nations of which he knew
nothing. He advocated sending mission
aries of diligence and discretion. and not
hot-blooded men without the latter at
tribute. as was too often the case.

How to Curry q Gun.
v>.,.,, L,orost and Stream.

T,x.re are only two directions in which
muzzle of a gun can safely be pointed;
these are up orr down. shot fired In the
air can scarcely injure any one or any
thing. and one discharged into the ground
is equally harmless. Therefore, in all the
different positions which the gun assumes.
see that it is pointed either up or down.
Sometimes a man will be seen who carries
his gun reversed. holding it by the muzzle
while the fore end rests on the shoulder
and the stock projects behind. Happily
this practice Is not common. for it is ex-
tremeIy dangerous. and many men have
been killed by carrying their guns in this
way If a man stuInbles or steps In hole,
or catches his foot on root and falls, his
gun may very likely be thrown forward
with the muzzIe directly toward his body,
and may easily enough be discharged.
Sometimes one laay see boy or even
man who will carry the gun across the
back Of the neck, with one arm over the
stock and the other over the barrels. some
times with the hand resting on the muzzle.
This Is certain to give a very uncomforta-
BILE feeling to any one who happens to be
walking by the side of the person carrying
his gun In this fashion and opposite the
muzzle end. While the danger of a dis
charge Is perhaps not great. 1t Is unpleas-
ant to be walking along with gun pointed
at your neck or head

able 1t to be the safeguard and help of the
mighty international commerce that Is
coming. AS our products go abroad all
over the globe, as our ships carrying them
sail every water, as we are gradually
drawn into closer commercial activity with
the world, there will be increased neces-
sity for the resources of diplomacy. and
with these the backing and moral prestige
of corresponding naval strength. l trust
it is not to be anticipated that in the better
conditions of the future a great foreign
trade once built up will be at the risk OF
any power inclined to ob5truct or impair
it, but If so, there will be no danger 50 long
as the American navy is animated by the
spirit Of the American sailor and backed
by the heart of the American people.
1 cannot take my seat without again ex-
pressing the pleasure 1t Is to sit again at
this table. and to be in company with you,
the commercial men, the merchants. the
manufacturers. the enterprising leaders or
this dear old town. How familiar are your
names in every line Of public Improvement!
How quick you are in response to every
appeal for help from wherescever 1t comes.
Few Get the Credit Due.
1t is the hard, perhaps unjust. imperfec-
ton in the records Of history that only
few names stand out upon its pages, and
those often the names Of the orators who
tell the story, or Of the statesmen who
put into law the convictions Of the men
who, behind them. do the work and see the
need and shape the means 20 the end Of the
worlds progress. You and the men like you
all over our commonwealth, all over New
England all over the country, are the men
who turn great volumes Of capital into IN
dustry: who enable the great forces of labor
to produce wealth and to share and enjow 1t;
who furnish the endowments for our col
leges and technical schools; who equip the
armies and navieS of our country; who send
our goods into every harbor ard market
place of the world; and who have made
commerce not the mean, selfish barter and
sale; of vulgar money-making for Its own
sake but synonymous with civilization. Inc
true ideal of the chamber of commerce Is
not den of thieves from which the master
shall cast out all them that sell and buy,
but a temple of God and a house of prayer
And yet, in this delightful gathering, oh,
how many faces I miss of the men VINO
have led where you are now Leading IN
their places! What names spring TO the
memory as we now recall those who even
in the short years of my public life have
stood for the commercial integrity and
need l. They sit beside you. You hear
their voices. You clasp hands with them.
They still live!

STARVING FOR ARTS SAKE.
American Girl Artist in Dire Destitu.
ton In Paris.


ton In Paris.
A special cable dispath to the New York
World from Paris yesterday saws: Alice
Worthington. an American art student iiy-
ing in a small furnished room in an OBJ
scure street in the Latin quarter was found
unconscious in her room today Examina-
ton disclosed that she was dying Of star
walton.
Miss Worthington arrived in Paris last
February. She lived modestly and made
few acquaintance and never told where
she resided. fortnight ago she met two
other American girls copying paintings In
the Luxembourg Thereafter for a week
they met daily. Alice told them she knew
no one in Paris. and lived only for art
The girls think that Alice said that her
family lived in Rochester or Buffalo.
At the end of a week Alice finished COPY
ing Bouguereau's Mere Consolatrice'' and
said goodbye to her friends.
This morning the girls were Informed that
the concierge in neighboring house want
ed to talk to them The concierge said:
Are you American? Wen, a country.
woman Of yours Is very i'll In my mouse.
Not seeing her for two days, went to he,
room and found her very ILL., VIII you
come and see herr?
The American girls climbed to the fifth
floor, where. in little dark hall ROOM
they found their Luxembourg friend. A
physician was summoned, and he pro-
nounced her condition serious and said II
was probable that she had not eaten In
four days.
The girls went out and bought food and
coal, and taking turns in nursing her
There is possibility of her recovering.
There are many cases of Gestitutior
among foreign students now. The ex-
position greatly increased the cost of nee.
essares of life, the price of fuel being ex.
orbitant. The American students are or
ganizing committees to investigate needy
cases among their compatriots. An Ameri-
can relief society In the Faubourg st
Honore reports constant applications fol
help from men formerly employed at the
exposition. but now out of work. Many
cases are most pitiab!e. Among them Gre
educated men willing to accept the mos
mental occupations. Though such condi
lions are usual after exhibitions, the pres
ent distress is unprecedented.

MOSES COLT TYLER DEAD.

Leading Writer on the Subject.

professor of American History and n
Leading Writer on the Subject.
Moses Colt Tyler, professor of American
history in Cornell University, died yester-
day at Ithaca N. Y, after an illness OF
three weeks.
Prof. Tyler's works on American litera-
ture were regarded as authorities by stu
dents everywhere. He brought to his task
an enthusiasm that never tagged, and this
enthusiasm for the study OF American his
tory he excited in those to whom he lee
tured at Cornell. On going to that uni
yersity he created an innovation In the
establishment Of the seminary system
Volunteer classes were formed to lnVesu-
gate subjects from original sources The
object was training in seeking knowledge
first hand Such topics as the John smith,
Pocahontas myth were run down ana de-
bated One of the class was appointed to
write a paper upon the topic, but every
one was directed to consult the original
authorities, and consequently in the dis
crssion that followed all could speak from
full Information. 1t is impossible to con-
ceive the interest such method of study
ing history excites. At the time Prof.
Tyler was appointed professor of Ameri-
can history at Cornell his was the only
chair devoted to that subject exclusively
in any collegiate institution In the country.
Prof. Tyler contributed to leading histori-
cal publications and published number
are: History of American Literature Dur
ing the Colonial PERIOD 1.-The Literary
History of the American Revolution"
1.-The Granville Papers" Life of Patrick
Henry Three Men of Letters" Manual
of English Literature and Glimpses of
England"
He was born in Griswold, Conn. in 1885,
and graduated from Yale in 1851. After
ward he took up the study Of theology
and pursued it at Yale and at Andover
Theological Seminary. In 1880 he accepted
q call from che First Congregational
Church of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. to become
its pastor. In 1867 he received the ap-
pointment of professor of English language
and literature at the University of Michi-
gan. While holding that position he also
acted as editor of the Christian Union In
1s73-74 He remained with the University
Of Michigan until 1881, when he was APP
pointed to the chair Of American history at
Cornell University. He received the de-
gIees OF LIZ D. from Wooster and L. II.

A special to the New York World from
Boston last night says: The corner in beans.
which the Albert Dickinson Company Of
Chicago Is said to be engineering, may
9. rike the rest of the country as a huge
joke on Boston. but 1t Is regarded as far
from funny here, where beans form staple
OF the diet. a.

evening that the Chicago corner IS likely

1t is pred cted by some or the dealers
that beans will sell at $3.50 within week,
and the hotel and restaurant men say that
when The price reaches that figure the only

as a dessert at 20 Gems dish instead OF
an entree at 10. for there is not one man
catering TO the Bosom appetite who would
attempt to do business for day Without
baked beans somewhere on the menu
Tonight at dinner in the moderate price
restaurants along Wash ngton street the
portions Of beans served were cut third
and il cost 10 cents to get as many beans
as have heretofore been obtainable for IL
cents.
The restaurant keepers had to listen to
MANY energetic protests, but the caterers

the rise in the price of beans.
The proprietor of one Of the most large

NET WEAVING AROUND GROVE.
Man Who Sold Him Pony Identifies
His Photograph.

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., yesterday
says: Daniel Burris today positively iden-
titled at Pacific Junction. Iowa, the pony
left there mysteriously in the barn of
Mrs. Mack the day following the Cudahy
abduction one he sold to a man answer
ing the description of Pat Grove q few
days before the occurrence Of that event.
Mrs. Thomas B. Cooper, a married daugh-
ter of Burris, was today shown a collec-
ton of twenty-five photographs taken from
the rogues gallery and asked to select,
If she could, one or more which -resembled
the 'light-complexioned man who had call
ed to buy the pony" She at once picked
out two of the photographs which she was
sure were those OF this man. The pictures
were those of Grove.
Mrs. Cooper Is the fifth person who saw
this man who has identified him with a
likeness of Grove, and the police now feel
sure that he is one Of the men wanted.
They have not been able, however, to get
clew to the identity of the darkroom J
plexioned man who was associated In the
crime.
The detectives are now very anxious to
locate Lizzie Burns, who Is alleged to have
been an intimate friend of Groves. Miss
Burns was employed at hotels In South
Omaha up to the time of the Cudahy abb
duction. since when she has not been seen.
