All Doctors have tried to cure CA
TARRH by the use Of powders. acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuOus men,
branes causing them to crack open and
bleed. The powerful acids used in the
inh8lers have entirely eaten away the
same membranes that their makers have
aimed to cure, while paints and ONT
ments cannot reach the disease. An old

many years made close study and
speciality OF the treatment OF CATARRH,
has at last perfected a Treatment which

once, but permanently cures CATARRH,
by removing the cause, stopping the dis

A Thrilling Story of Missionaries
A Thrilling Story of Missionaries
Flight from Tien Tsin.

AT the annual meeting of the Second
Parish Women's Missionary Society, yes
terday afternoon, the speaker was Mrs.
Charles f. Cannon. who was in Tien
Tsin last spring when the Boxer uprising
began, and who escaped on the last train
leaving lien Tsin before the siege OF the
foreign settlement was commenced. Mrs.
Cannon was born In China, her father
and mother being missionaries in the
northern part Of the country under the
American Board. She, herself, was edu-
Gated in this country, but has spent the
greater part OF her life in China, and for
some years was engaged in mission work
there.
She began her story, which was Of
thrilling interest, by relating the oft-toid
story of tine beginning OF this trouble,
and how the news first came to them ut
the mission station at Tlen Tsin. Ii
seemed that in what was called the
southeast district the trouble first began
The Portland daily press., 1901-01-10

some time in April OF last year. Then
the native Christians began to come into
the foreign settlement and complain
that they were being abused and perse-
cute1 by these Boxers, who were daily
drilling In the streets of the villages with
their quaint arms, and practicing their
strange and mysterious rites.
The missionaries In lien Tsin did not
believe that the trouble would begin in
this southeast district As soon as 1t would
In what was called the northwest dis
triot. Mrs. Cannon said that the people
who lived in the northwest district
seemed to be much worse than thoss who
lived in the other district. She had,
herself, visited some of the cities OF this
northwest district some three or four
years before, and had almost been
mobbed In one city, being the first foreign
woman to visit that place. She made her
escape by the aid or her Chinese attend
ant at nightfall. and was not harmed,
but when the Boxer movement began to
extend into the Province OF Chill 1t was
generally believed that the first trouble
would come from the northwest district.
Strange to say, it bsgan in the southeast
district. ana by the beginning OF May
the foreign settlement was filed with
refugees from the villages that section OF
the province. All OF them had been driven
away from their homes, and many OF
them had been badly treated. Complaints
had been made to the foreign oonsuls
and some soldiers had been sent down
to ride through the villages, but after
this visit the Boxers seemed to be worse
than aver.
The people of the Provines of Chill are
not as sphleRmattc or as stohd as are
those of the other provinces OF China, and
when this Boxer movement oncs reacSe
this province 1t spread like wildtire. 1t
was at first planned by those who had
charge OF this anti-foreign revolt that 1t
should begin In October, and had this
plan been carried out the result would
it would have been much more difficult
to have secured aid from the foreign ma
tions at the beginning Of long and
hard winter. About lien Tsin, which is
very large city, and has very large
trade, the anti-toreign feeling was very
intense, owing TO the fact that many Of
the people living there had been deprived
OF livelihood by the railroads which
had been built and thus taken away the
carrying trade of the river. Then the city
was filled with a rough element which
required but little encouragement to
rise at any time against the foreigners.
With the coming of the month OF May,
the trouble increased and the anxiety of
the missionaries grew as the days went
past. 10 make things much worse, the
American Board and the Methodists held
their annual meetings in Peking and
TunR Chou about this time, ana the con-
sequence was that great many more
missionaries were In the northern part
OF the province than would otherwise
have been the case, and some of them
were unable-to get out before the trouble
began.
Mrs. Cannon went on to graphically
describe the way In which these Chinese
refugees who had been driven from theii

ships. but the damage was not great.
Sunday morning the allies held the
forts, but the captain Of the passenger
ship did not dare to sail, for fear OF the
villages below the bend OF the river,
which were tilled with the Boxers. On
Monday he did sail, and before leaving
the river the passengers learned that tels-
phonio. telegraphio and railroad com :
munication with lien Tasin had been
cut of, and that tina siege there where
her husband had remained TO do his
duty, had already commenced. 1t was
many long weeks before she saw hins
again or even before she learned he wal
safe.
Mrs Ganimon spoke most hopefully for
the work in China, and thought that 1t
would be carried on with renewed energy
and as much faith as ever.
Following Mrs. Gammon's address, the
society elected the old officers, and after
listening to the reports OF the officers

homes In the villages about Tien Tsin
came focking into the foreign settlement
with what property they were able to
money and some provisions, but many
of them came In with only the clothes
they stood In when they were forced to
fiee. or course the quarters Of the foreign
settlement were not large enough to
care for all of these refugees in comfort,
and the result was that the American
Board compound was absolutely
crowded with men. women and children
when the trouble came. These people
were provided for as well as was p1ssible
under the circumstances. Some OF the
residents. in the foreign settlemen
wanted 20 drive thess Christian natives
out OF the settlement to care for them
selves, but the missionaries protested
against this, and after the trouble was
over those who were the most anxious 20
drive the natives out OF the settlement
were the most pleased to think that they
had been present to assist the foreigners
in projecting the place. For these ma
tives were OF great assistance, and they
did what they were asked TO do with
little complaint, and in q very brave
way.
On June 4th. Mrs. Cannon said that
ner husband and MIR. Wilder returned
from the telegra phi office with the in
formation that Pekin and the mission
stations to the north had all been cut
from communication with lien Tsin,
and this was very bad news. and caused
the people in the foreign settlement at
Tienl Tsin much anxiety. Their own
position was very precarious. They had
bnt 1900 soldiers to protect them. while
on all sides were tens Of thousands OF
angry fanatics, aided by the imperial
troops, who only required leaders and
courage to wipe the foreign settlement at
Tien Tsin out OF existence.
Mrs. Cannon dwelt upon the anxiety
they all felt during these days preceding
the actual outbreak. They knew IL was
coming, and night after night they
were awake during the long hours OF
darkness expecting at any moment that
the Chinese would be upon them and the
massacre they all expected would begin.
Mrs. Cannon said that she remembered
very well the flames and smoke In Tien
Tsin in 1870, when the anti-foreign mob
burned the Roman Catholic cathedral,
and her own mother and father, together
with other foreigners, were exposed to
great danger of massacre for many
days.
She went on to say that the trouble
which they had long been expecting
came on Thursday night. when the
Boxers burned three chapels and tore
down another one. Friday night the
burning villages and houses around
them formed q crescent, 1t being the hope
OF the Boxers that the flames might
spread to the foreign settlements and
set fire TO them, but they were disap-
pointed. Towards morning on Saturday,
the boxers made their tirst rush at the
foreign settlement, and burned a chapel
within its limits, but did no other dam
age.
Mrs. Cannon said that her husband
had been insisting all the time that she

but on Saturday morning after this first
attack. on the foreign settlement. Mr..
Cannon happened to meet the steamship
agent, wh@to him that ship was to
sail Saturday night at high tide from
the mouth OF the river, and that the last
train which would carry passengers to
this ship was to leave lien Tsin In 30
minutes Mr.. Cannon hurried home
and got his wife and sister-in' law, with
their children, ready for this journey.
The railroad to the mouth OF the river
was surrounded by Chinese, but the
ladies did not feel any alarm, because
they were told that an armored train had
gone over the line just ahead OF them.
As 1t turned out the train had preceded
them By an hour and half. but they
did not know this until afterwards.
They embarked on the passenger ship
which was to take them TO Shanghai, on
the afternoon of Saturday, but the ship

that late Saturday afternoon the allied
admirals sent the ultimatum to the conn.,
mandant OF the Taku forts demanding
their immediate surrender. This OF
course, the Chinese refused to consider,
and in this they were right for, as Mrs.
Cannon said, I'VE would think but
poorly of a countryman OF ours who
would surrender fort on such a de-
mand." In consequence Of this demand
which had been made upon the COM
mandAnt of the Taku forts, the captain
OF the ship on which Mrs. Cannon was
did not care to sail. Below this ship
were three or four more passenger ships,
lust above was the old gunboat Monoos-
cy, and below were some Japanese, Ger
man and English ships OF the smaller
class. Had the captain OF the ship on
which Mrs. Cannon was, decided to
have sailsd Saturday night. 1t is proba-
BILE that he would never have got down
the river, for his ship was loaded with
dynamite, and the Taku forts were
armed with modern guns. On the ship
with Mrs. Cannon were nine women
and fifteen children, and they were ex-
posed TO the nre from ths forts during
the fight between the forts and the feet.
The big deet, consisting Of some forty
ships in all, was way out OF sight beyond
the bar at the mouth OF the river, and
did not take part in the fight with the
forts. This began about half an hour
after midnight. Had the Chinese taken
into account the fall OF the tids-soms

ana driven OH the ships or destroyed
them, but they failed TO take this into
account, and while most of the shots of
the ships went right into tins forts and
did. much damage, the shots from the
forts went over the shins and did very
little execution. Shot and shell flew all
about the ship on which Mrs. Cannon
was for six hours, but the ship was not
struck. Had 1t been struck, with its
cargo OF explosives, Mrs. Cannon said
she would never have known what had
happened, nor would she ever have told
this story. The Monocacy was struck
