Wednesday, dinner was served at the
church. All the day sessions were in
teresting and inspiring.
Wednesday evening, the program con
sisted of music, papers, recitations and a
beautiful exercise by nine young ladies
of Paw Paw.
Perhaps the most instructive and APP
preciated number was the talk on the
causes of the anti foreign uprising in
China, by Mrs. f.. S. Walker of Benton
Harbor. She showed thorough knowl-
edge of her subject and left the impress
sion that the Chinese people were
in reality more sinned against than sin
ming.
Certainly "the powers" have not fol
lowed the golden rule in their dealings
with this benighted people, To blame
the missionaries, who have struggled so
hard to uphft this people, is nothing
short of rank Injustice.

INTERESTING CONVENTION HELD IN THE
NJ. f. CHURCH.

The annual meeting of the w. f. M
S. of the Niles district convened at the
NJ. E. church in this village Tuesday
afternoon and closedits sessions Wednes-
day evening.
A goodly number of delegates were
welcomed. The church was lastly
trimmed with green and white and all
that our home ladies could do was done
to make the meeting a success.
The report of the meeting of the
Northwestern branch, composing the
states of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and
Michigan, revealed the fact that last
year Sl08,000 was raised TO spread the
gospel in foreign fields. OF this amount
$1,000 was given by Michigan and 81 900
by the Niles district The fraternal
greetings brought by the representatives
of the other missionary societies of our
village were greatly appreciated by the
members of this society. Not over 30
years ago this could not be done, but to-
day. the love of Christ is so pervading
the hearts of his people that they are
one Isreal though of different tribes.
Mrs. G.. b. Carpenter of Grand Rapids,
conference secretary, was present and
greatly added to the success of the meet
ing by her words and suggestions.
The main feature of the Tuesday even
ing session was the address by Mrs.
Rockwell Clancy of Allahabad, India.
She began by stating she would not be a
returned missionary until she returned
to India as she is all buta native of that
country, having been born in Dublin,
ireland, and having gone to India
when six weeks of age.
Her address was greatly enjoyed, the
audience deeming her only nicely started
when she closed, having talked over an
hour. The condition of the child wild
vews in India ought to appeal to every
mother in a christian land, there being
9er 100000 of these unfortunates
under nine years of age. In these
days, when we hear and read so
much of the beauties of Brahminism and
Buddhism, if we could visit India and
witness what they have produced, our
admiration would vanish. We sometimes

cdi -oriOI Comment.

AND now it is Monroe county that
wants to be judicial circuit by itself,
because its sister county in the 22d cir
cult, Washtenaw, is the largest and will
not let Monroe county have the Judge.
There does not seem to be any claim
that the work in the old circuit could
be not kept up. Instead of multiplying
circuits, The True Northerner believes a
legislature could do wise. economical
and profitable piece of work by recircuit-
ing the state so as to require a fair
amount of work from every Judge, re-
ducing the number of circuits and saw
ing a considerable expense to the state.
We do rot say that we expect any legis-
lature to do this. Such action would be
contrary to the whole tendency of mod
ern legislation, which is to multiply off
ces and increase public expenditures.

EXPENSES OF OCEAN LINERS.
What It Costs to Run the Deutsch-
land.

Samuel A. Wood, in Anslcc's.
1t was printed frequently just after
the swift Cunardcrs came out that
they were not paying ships. This was
believed by representatives of the
German lines, but it is not so. The sea
express, even so mighty a coal con-
sumcr as the Deutschland, does pay,
and pays well, in the season when
traffic is heaviest on the Atlantic. 1t
Is estimated tina. it costs the Hamburg
line about $4,000 to run the Deutsch-
land aCioGS seas. The largest item Of
expense IL that of coal. She sends
through her four monumental fun
nels every trip vapor representing
$1,000. Then there is the bill for lubr
eating oil, and the cost of the ships
laundry. In the seasons when the
cabins and the steerage are crowded
the ships washing usually consists of
nearly $4,000 p.cces, including table
linen. blakets, sheets and the coats of
the stewards. The laundry bills for 4
single trip vary n, co"ding to TN" num-
Der of passengers carried from $500
to $500. There are only two ships in
service that do their washing aboard
the cruising yacht Prinzessin Victoria
1uisc and the excursion steamship Au
guste Victoria. both of which have
electric laundries.
Next to the cost of coal is the en-
penditure for wages. The board Of
the Deutschland's crew of 551 persons
the cost of providing her 700 or more
cabin passengers with meals, the
wages of the commander. her officers
and the chief engineer help to swell
the list of expenses. The commanders
of the German ships receive more pay
than !losc of either the Ame rican or
British lines. Aside from their regu-
lar wages. which range from S1.500 to
$4,000 a year. they have a share in the
earnings of their ships. on the Brit
isil lines the captains receive from
s1.50c 10 $4,000 year. without per-
GuistcS. If. Il the end of the year.
q British commanders ship has met
with no accident. he gets a bonus.
The British lines think this system
of reward has a tendency to make
commanders more careful. The pay of
an engineer on the German lines
ranges from Sl."0o to about $500 IA
year. The pay o: .hc British engineer
does not differ materially from these
if the engines run without accident
figures, but lie also receives a bonus
during the year.
