Is that the precise microbe or microbes to

CHINA MUST BE CHRIsTIANIzED.
Only Solution Of Eastern Question,
Bishop Moore Declares

CHICAGO, November Five hundred
members of the Methodist Social Union Of
Chicago banquetted last night at the Audi
forum, with Bishop David H. Moore Of
Asia and Bishop Joseph c. Hartzell of
Africa as guests Of honor.
1.-The only solution Of the eastern ques-
tion.' said Bishop Moore, when he began
his address on the outlook in China, us the
Outstanding of China. Do not think that
China's people are dead as to what the
world is doing. Do not think that because
China's officials are corrupt the empire is
corrupt. China only wants to be relieved
Of its superstition and darkness, when it will
truly be great nation"
Bishop Moore said that Japan, Corea and
China were in a sense one.
If Russia ever once overruns China
said he, "all the powers in the world cannot
dislodge her, and the doom of China is
sealed"

Major Moses Veale, commander of the

The members of the distinguished organi-

fought to preserve the Union.
Quartermaster ]. Noble Preston's report
dealt with the condition Of the organization.
1t showed that while most of the medals of
honor were awarded for gallantry during
the civil war, nearly 400 were gained by
veterans for distinguished services in the
Indian wars.
is preparing list of those to receive medals
for service in the Spanish-American war
and during the Boxer troubles in China.
Colonel Preston recommended the appoint
ment of a committee to revise the constitu-
ton and suggested a different method of
enrolling new members.
The total number of medals of honor is
sued by the Navy Department up to Janu-
airy l. 1902, was 594, and by the War De-
partment to October 81, 1897, 4S4, those

The Shortage in Peanuts.
rom the Richmond Dispatch.

FROM
1t is said that the Virginia peanut crop.
will be short this year owing to the fact
that a considerable number of Bohemian
farmers have removed to other states and
the purchasers Of their lands have dropped
peanuts and gone to raising corn, wheat.
and oats. All the Bohemians We have ever
known have been very fond of peanuts, but
they have not been the sort of fellows who
make good plownen. However, though
this years crop of peas may be short,
we venture to say that the supply will be
equal to the demands of congressman and
members of the legislatures Of the several
states. Our own information is that the
Virginia and North Carolina crop certainly
will be short, but that the real reason for
1t is that the drought killed many vines
and there has beer great scarcity Of labor
in the peanut country.

Streets Of Old Egypt.
From the Detroit Free Press

Some very interesting papyri were res
Gently unearthed at Fayum, in Egypt, and
among them was a directory showing the
location Of the streets In the ancient city
of Arsinoe. In many respects this direc-
tory Is very similar to a modern one.
Here, for example, are the names of the
principal streets in Arsinoe: School street,
Lower street, South street, West street,
Cloth street Arabian street, Thracian
street, Cicilian street, Demetrius street,
Therapela street, Church street King street
and Emeprors square.
Some of these names may seem strange
to us, yet If we analyZe them we shall find
very little difference between them and the
names of the streets In modern cities. In
New York city there is no Thracian street
or Demetrius street but are there not q
Little Italy" and Madison square?
