Putney England. March 22-The Cam-
bridge crew today fulfilled the eXpecta-
tiops of the prophets and won the fifty
ninth boat race with Oxford as they liked.
The time was 10 minutes, seconds. At
no time throughout the race did oxford

Rev. Solomon Spaulding was for
some time in poor health, and to while
away the time he wrote a preposterous
religious romance. One Joseph Smith
somehow got hold of that book before
it was printed and published it as a
revelation of heaven, calling it the
"Book of Mormon" and from that pub
LEGATION came MormOniSm, the monster
abomination Of the earth. Rev. Solo,
mon Spaulding might have been better
engaged than writing that book of
falsehOods. However much time we
have, we never have time to do wrong.

CHINESE JOAN OF ARC.
Sieh King King, who Would Lead
Her Sisters Out of Bondage.

Sleh Ming King, who WouAo AetaU
Her Sisters Out of bondage.
A Joan of Arc has arisen to enlighten
custom ridden China. Unlike her Illus
tricus prototype, she leads no armed
hosts, and the banner she raises is for
the reform of social conditions, not the
glory of a king. Nevertheless the pagan
maiden's patriotism is as heroic ana
her purpose as noble as that which ac-
tuatad the Maid of orleans.
Under the auspices Of the Chinese re-
form movement Sieh King King, an
eighteen-year-old Chinese girl has been
leading a crusade among her country
men and women in San Francisco
against the system which keeps the
Chinese woman ignorant and makes
her slave.
Sieh King King is the daughter of
liberal minded Tientsin merchant and
first lifted her voice in public when she
addressed her countrymen in the pub
lie garden of Shanghai when it became
known that the late Ii Hung Chang
proposed by a secret treaty to place
Manchuria under Russian control.
She came to this country for uni
versity education, but in addition to
her studies intends to wage vigorous
warfare for the freedom Of Chinese
women. Chinese women of the better

class never mingle with men either at
private Or public gatherings. Little
Sieh King King proposes to change this
and put them on terms of social equali
ty.
The lack of education and self con
fidence, Sieh King says, makes the Chi
nese women difficult to handle. She
has no trouble in convincing the men,
but centuries of subsection and captiv-
ity have made the women timid.
The young reformer does not believe
in the Chinese practice of Gripping wo-
men by stunning the natural growth of
their feet and will fight for the aboli-
ton of this barbarism as well as the
other reforms she has inaugurated.
Sieh King King lives with her uncle,
Hsuch Sing Wing, a San Francisco
merchant. She has the support of the
best Chinese element in this country in
her proposed reforms.

While in session the associate justices
of the United States supreme court are
seated on either side of the chief jus
tice, in the order of their commissions,
The oldest in commission on his right,
the next oldest on his left; the third is
second ON the right and the fourth sec
ond on the left, and so on alternately,
the youngest in commission occupying
the seat on the extreme left.
When Justice Field was the senior
associate, this arrangement produced
this curious result: The names of the
justices on the right had but a single
syllable-Field, Gray, Brown and White
while the names of those on the left
had two syllables-Harlan, Brewer,
Shiras and Peckham. All were mar
ried, but no one of the justices on the
right had ever had any children, while
each of those on the left had both chill
dren and grandchildren. The colors
were all on the right-Gray, Brown and
White-while the left was colorless.-

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their Effect
Upon Public Meetings.

American audiences are strangely
alike iii some things and strangely dis,
similar in others. A good committee
will take as much pains in the ar
rangement of its audience as of its
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Nei-
ther is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed of women
or an audience in a cold room. The
easiest audiences to address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression of
their emotions than men. Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres
ence, knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentmes more effective in
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In public meeting how
ever the audience gets its cue from
those nearest the speaker. I remember
well two audiences, both from the
same social class, both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely at
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado, one in Massachusetts, In
one meeting the orchestra was re-
served for women. In the other meet
ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes. In both cases the audiences
were entirely friendly to the speakers
The second meeting was marked b!
wild enthusiasm, the first one by re
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause
In the first case the men in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because between them an(
the speakers was a mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. l dc
not say that one meeting was less eff
fective than the other, but the differ
ence in the strain on the speaker was
marked.-From "The Spellbinder," by
Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., In Serb
