The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1901-01-12

"HlNESE cable advices sent by q
London newspaper correspond
ent tell us that the American
soldier is giving the soldiers of the
world now on duty in China lessons
in governing and cleansing the pest
laden city Of Picking. just as Gen
Chaffee taught the German
er-in-chief a lesson in international
so he and his men are teach
ing the officers of all nations inter-
ested in China a lesson in sanitary
and police methods that they Will
probably not soon forget.
That section of Picking which comes
directly under the authority OF the
Americans is described as being prac-
tically the only section where the
normal business and social conditions
have been resumed. The Chinese mer-
chant has here resumed business and
is reaping a harvest never known be
fore from the patronage of the sol
diers who came to conquer his GOV
eminent and his army.
But the Chinaman has also been
taught a lesson. 1t is the same les
son that Gen. Wood taught the peo-
pie of Santiago when that city was
surrendered to the American army in

but my opinion is that Picking is the hlthiest

Such was the condition of the city
when the allied troops took control.
That the disturbances which had
reigned there all through the sum-
mer had not made it worse was due
to the fact that it could not be made
worse; it was already as bad as it
could possibly be. In that portion OF
the city assigned to the American
troops there was soon n noticeable
change. While the troops of other
nations were securing Peking and the
surrounding country for loot the
American soldier was busy putting
his part of the city into a habitable
condition. Any such a renovation as
Gen. Wood gave Santiago was impos-
sible, but the streets were cleaned
and regulated as far as possible. But

ls9S-a lesson of cleanliness. For
countless centuries almost the great
wall that surrounds Picking has in
closed but little more than II vast
pest hole. True there was at n time
a semblance of a sewage system in
the city, but that time was so long
ago that even in China, where it would
seem that but little is ever forgotten,
no one seems to have ever heard of
it. and it would probably have long
ago passed out of history but for a
few useless traces of it which still
remain-one of many evidences of a
decaying greatness.
When the army of the allied ma
tions took hold of the government of
Picking the sanitary problem was one
oil the biggest undertakings on which
commanding officers had to figure. 1t
was so vast that but few of the Off
GERS thought it advisable to under
take it at all. OF these few Gen.
Chaffee and his subordinatcs were the
first to move.
They found the streets used as re-
ceptacles for offal of every descrip-
tion-the streets and sidewalks used
for the basest and commonest pur-
poses. Every rut and depression was
filed with slush and Stops that would
breed disease among any people but
the Chinese. The refuse from every
house, whether it be the dwelling
place of a noble or the hut of the
poor is carried into the street to Of
fend the refined sense of every pass
er-by-if they nave any, which but
few Chinese have. Ex-Minister DENLY
assures us that this was true even in
front OF the home of Earl Ii Hung
Chang. who, of all Cinnamon, shoulo
have known better.
Ex-Minister DENLY, in the chapter
which he has written for Rounse

while this was being done every eff
fort was made to again place the COM
mercial interests of the city upon a
normal footing. and the result is that
to-day practically all the business done
in Picking is transacted in tina sec
ton under American control.
While soldering in Picking in the
winter season may have its advan-
tages in that the cesspools of the
streets are frozen, and the POSSIBLE
tiles of the spread of disease lessened,
it alo has many disadvantages. Dur
ing the midwinter months it is not
always an easy problem to keep warm.
The mercury often drops to well be-
low the zero mark; the rivers and
lakes are frozen over, and the filth
of the city covered with a mantle of
snow. With the exception of the
homes of the Weather or aristo-
cratic classes or the foreigners, there
are but few buildings constructed for
the demands of such a climate, and
the heating appliances are of the
crudest sort.
The American soldier has found it
possible to live in tents through the
winter season even in the mountains
in the northwest, but he has done
this only when emergencies demand
ed it, and has never taken it as a
pleasure. The same is true in China.

oNE RELIGIOUS SERVICE.
A n Old California huron "ners
worship Is Held But Once
n Year.

An old Spanish church At Santa
Cruz, Cal, has long since been a
doned to the bats and the rats. NO
religious service is held there except
once a year-on Christmas eve. Ex'
ternally the church looks like a stable
and has no furniture except a mag
~nifcent brass chandelier. The floor
and walls are of stone and on the
eastern side there is a manger, look
ing through the bars of which one
sees the scenes of nativity, with the
lowers of castles and palaces in the
distance. In the foreground the Vir-
gin sits by the manger holding the
infant Saviour, with st. Joseph lean
ing over her, and the wise men offer

ing sheep, oxen and various precious
gifts.
Outside this interior stable there
are figures of men carrying sheep and
calves on their shoulders, Fastening
to the sacred scene.
In this chapel worshipers remain all
night on their knees. This manger
side of the old church is against the
east wall, high upon which is the only
window in the edifce, so that the first
rays of the morning III %irradiate the
scenes of the nativity, which come as
a roseate glow, and as soon as this
reaches the worshipers they leave the
church, light cigarettes and begin
their festivities.

A Boer commando retook those
fines where those who died for us
were lying. and as they marched
among our dead they saw a sergeant
lying at full length, shot through the

looked like some fighting machine
suddenly gone out of order, says the
London News. His rifle was pressed
against his shoulder, his left hand
grasped the barrel on the under side,
the forefingers of the right hand
pressed the trigger tightly. the barrel
rested out upon a rock and his death
dulled eye glared along the sights,
for dissolution had come to him just
as he bent his head to fire at those

who shot him. and now his hands had
stiffened in the u%nbendable stiffness
of eternal sleep. A Boer soldier saw
the sergeant as he lay, and with rude
hands grasped the rifle by the barrel
and tried to jerk it from the dead
mans grip, but as he pulled he
brought the rifle in line with his own
breast, and the unyielding finger on
the trigger did the rest. The rifle
spoke from the dead mans hand, and
the bullet, passing through the Beers
heart, laid him beside the Briton.
Sounds like a journalistic lie, does
it not? Read it in a novel, and you
would laugh, would you not? But it
is the eternal truth, all the same, for
the comrade of the Boer who died
that day, killed by a dead man, told
me the tale himself, and he was one
of those who planted the dead Dutch
man on the slope of Spion kop.
