The Homeopathic and Eclectic Medical
societies of Kansas held their third an
nual union meeting last night in Rep
resentative hall. The meeting was pre-
sided over by DR.. E. B. Packer of Usage
City, and the leading address was given
by Judge F. H Stiles of Kansas City,
Mo, on the theme, Medicine. Law, The
olOgy and Journalism In the consider
alton of the subject Judge Stiles re-
versed the order, beginning with jour
nalism. He did not attempt to go into
a detailed consideration of any of the
professions, combining his remarks sinlp-
" to some thoughts and observations
which he had gained as a. lawyer. The
power Of the press as an enlightener of
the masses was the leading idea. in con-
nection with the remarks on journalism
OF religion, among other things, he said
Il would lead men to love of nature
and thus to a love of Cod" In sum
ming up his estimate of the legal pro-
fession he thought there was no nobler,
greater hearted set OF men" than the
lawyers.
His remarks on medicine were mainly
along the line Of the progress and dis
coveries Of that profession during the
last century.

NATIONS GONE TO Us
For Information About Hidden Reefs
and Weather.

Washington. May "A great num-
Der of inquiries which have recently
been received from foreign navies by
Capt c. G. Todd, chief photographer of
the navy, attest to the remarkable pres
tige this branch of our naval service
has gained abroad Our photographic
service is conceded to be more adj
Vanced and complete than that of any
other navy in the world. and foreign
navies are endeavoring to emulate the
example set by our own advance in
this line. Requests for informal ton on
various points come from Spain,
France, Greece and practically all of
the European nations, and all proper
information is given without reserve.
In some cases foreign naval authori-
ties have offered to pay for valuable
bits of information concerning reef,
perhaps, which is uncharted on their
own maps, or the unknown depth of
water in some channel. But all that is
asked in return by the photographic Of
flee is that the inquirer contribute to
the knowledge already in hand at
Washington, as far as possible. The
pilot charts which are issued monthly
by the Office are fast gaining an al
most universal reputation. They give,
besides data of strictly technical ma
ture, weather forecasts for the ensuing
month covering practically the whole

father and mother. Here he will pre-
pare his report, which will be presented
to the Congregational mission board of
Boston.
Speaking of the one-third indemnity
collected above the actual damages sus-
tanned by natives during the siege, DR..
Ament had this to say:
Let it be understood that the clan is
the unit of Chinese society, not the indi-
vidUal The elan is responsible for the
actions of its members. If a member
goes wrong the whole community is held
responsible. If one member is promoted
1t works to the advantage of the whole
community. In the various clans We're
people who had no property They had
to be cared for and it was for their sup
port that the extra one-third was assess
ed This is one of the principles of
Chinese society that is to be commended.
In this connection let me say that it is
the policy of the missionaries to con-
serve everything in Chinese society that
is conducive to good morals"
DIR. Ament said that the tales concern
ing barbarous practices Of the foreign
soldiers have been magnified. He added
that while he could not approve of some
of the things which had been done by
the soldiers, many errors committed by
the native sOldiery and the Boxers had
DR.. Ament also said that the missiOnar-
les had left more friends in China than
ever before and that the outlook for the
future IS most promising.
