NO MORALS ABOUT MURDER.
A Missionary Says It Will Take 100 Years to CivlIlze South China.

Tacoma, Wash, October 28-'It will take hundred years or more of hard work and the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars to civilize south China" This statement Is made by Henry W. Hunteselle, a Methodist Episcopal missionary sent out by the Chicago mission two years ago to the Chosong station In southern China He is now on his way back to Chicago on account of i'll health.
 "In southern China murder is as frequent as your meals, and it is called custom instead of crime. Natives have little or no moral law. There is 2 mar riage law, but it is only for the pro tection of male inhabitants A south ern Chinese woman once married to a man cannot desert him. A man can have as many wives as he likes.
 Slave traffic IS rampant in all parts of the southern provinces. Fathers dis pose of their daughters and wives in the same manner as in this country we dispose of live stock. Notwithstanding these conditions, within three years, since our mission was opened, we have made 260 converts. We have estab- lished two schools and our meetings are well attended"

The first necessity of athletics is sound stomach Food is the source of all physical strength. but to extract and assiinilate the strength from food requires that the stomach aud other organs of digestion and nutrition should be in condition of good health. What io true of the athlete is true of every man and woman; physical health and vigor de- pend '1ii the digestion and assimila- ton .- .ood.
 Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, and by enabling the perfect digestion and assimilation of food, builds the body mp with solid flesh and muscle.

 Run for Ills Life.

New York, October 28.-Two men shot through the legs are in Bellevue hospital and one man is locked up as the result of fusilade of bullets fired in shooting gallery in basement of 98 Third avenue. The prisoner sought the protection of policeman after he had been chased up Third avenue and through Fourteenth street by crowd who were shouting, Tracy, the out law; kill him."
 With a rife over his shoulder, his face cut and bloody, his collar ripped off and his shirt torn, the man when captured said he was David Wemmer, proprietor of the shooting gallery, and declared he had shot no one.
 One of the wounded, Sanders, was passing the gallery when the bullets began to fly into the street. Louis Rassier, the second wounded man, Wemmer declared, was the cause of the trouble.
 The shooting gallery man declared to the police that he had quarreled with his wife recently and that she had left home. In his search for her he inquired at the home of one of his acquaintances. The latter, with sev- eral friends, came to the gallery, he said, and started fight. The rifles lying about were caught up and fusi- Jade followed. He fled into the street, rife in hand, but declared he did not shoot.
 The crowd took up the chase and in a few minutes zo00 persons were howl ing at Wemmer's heels. The police had great difficulty in making their way to the station with their prisoner.

He says under date of September 19. that the disease has practically disappeared from those prov inees first infected but those most re- gently affected are suffering severely.
 The province of 1lloilo and the ad- jacent island of Negroes are badly in- fected and the situation Is alarming. Some of the towns in these provinces have lost ten per cent of their popula- tion and the epidemic continues severe. In Japan the latest advices show that there have been 1929 cases and 1850 deaths from cholera The cholera situ- ation in China Is summed up as follows:
 Provinces of Human and Shansi the cities report as follows; Ranking, epi- demic 40 900 deaths; Foo Chow, epidemic; Shomyang Hsien, epidemic, 5000 cases per day; Hsin Chou, epidemic; Taiyuan Flu, epidemic; Hsai Otientze, epidemic; Shou- yang. epidemic; Shihlich epidemic; Chengiochien. epidemic; Kinkiang, re- ported; Nanchangfu, reported; Cheoyang' reported; Hankow reported; Tien Tsin, reported Soochow, reported.

COOPERATION ON
 RELIGIOUS LINES
GOOD REPORTS MADE AT SESSION OF ALLIANCE OF REFORMED CHURCHES = DISCUSSION OF EvANeELIsTlc WORK.

Philadelphia, October 2s.-co-operation along several important lines of religious effort was reported at the concluding sessions today of the American section of the Alliance of Reformed Churches, holding the Presbyterian system. Sab bath schools. evangelistic work and home and foreign missions were the subjects of the principal reports. and in these fields substantial progress was an- nounced. In a paper read at the morning session upon Sabbath schools and Young Peoples societies, the Rev. John V. Stephens said that the various bodies in the American section of the alliance have now a total membership of 2,Os2 160 and 1,99Z 120 scholars.
 The feature of the afternoon session was the discussion of evangeistic work by John H. Converse of this city, who recently gave s5O,OO0 to the evangeiistic committee of the Presbyterian general assembly, and Dr. J Wilbur Chapman, formerly of this city. who has resigned his charge in New York to devote his whole time to evangelistic effort "It is variously conceded" Mir. Converse said, that from one-fourth to one-third of our population lives in the cities; that Is. a proportion much larger than those whom are to seek on our remote frontier. In New York, in the borough of Manhattan. am informed that only per cent of the population belongs to evangelical churches, and in Brooklyn only 10 per cent The time is coming when home mis- sion work may with more propriety be done in our cities than in the remote ter ritories of our country We have those right at our doors whom we can reach, and experience in Philadelphia has demon- strated that we can reach them. I would not for moment minimize foreign mis- sion work, but believe the time is com ing when all our work will be evangelistic both foreign and at home.
 Among the other speakers on the same subject were the Rev D. Radcliff of Washington, H. R. Fleming, Lynchbure Va; J. H. Drugh, Pittsburg; R. F. Fer guson Jersey city.
 Tonight a popular meeting was held in the interest of cooperation of Chris tian work.

 Those Who Want Damages.

Decatur. October Especial )-The damage case of Mrs. Joe Lawrenceson vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company for damages for killing her hus- band is being tried in the circuit court here for the second time.

LIKE BULL IN CHINA SHOP.
Captain Hobson Makes Bad Breaks at
 Banquet to Prince.

New York, October 2S.-Both the Crown Prince of Siam and his brother, at a din- ner given at the Lotos club, extended a greeting of good will to this country from Siam.
 Captan Richmond Pearson Hobson. of Santiago fame. failing evidently to catch the spirit of the occasion, took the oppor- tunity, when he was called upon for a speech, to recommend a policy of ag gression in the East, and urged that the navy of the United States be increased until 1t was as large as that of all of Europe combined.
 In vain did the Lotos eaters ask that the gallant lieutenant say something about the Prince. They called: That will dor But the naval hero proceeded much after the manner of a bull in a china shop talking of the supremacy which the United States must exercise in the east, not by being good neighbors, as the Prince had felicitously expressed 1t, but by force of arms and by a naval force which would intimidate all the powers when the partition of China would come.
 The Crown Prince made a felicitous speech which was enthusiastically re- ceived by the members of the. club.

RECOMMENDATION ACCEPTED.
Navy Department Decides to Follow
 Advice of Board.

Washington. October 28.-Acting Secre- tary Darling has settled the question which has divided the naval construction board relative to the proposed armored cruiser Tennessee by accepting the re- commendation of the majority of the board which Is in favor of power, in- stead of speed.
 The decision was influenced, perhaps, by Admiral Melville himself, who assured the acting secretary that the majority plans. though short in speed. would give the government a most formidable and desirable warship. Judge Advocate Gen eral Lemly today sent out advertisements calling for proposals for the construction of two armored cruisers of the Tennessee class, of about 14.50O tons displacement.

AMERICANS ESCAPE.
Few of Them Fall Victims to Ravages
 of Cholera.

Washington, October 2S.-surgeon-Gen- eral O'Reilly has received a report from Lieut.. w. J. L. Lyster, of the medical de- partment, who is attached to the Onlted States legation at Pelxin, China, from which it appears that the American sol diers are the only foreigners who have escaped the epidemic of cholera up to date.
 Although their general health is good says Lieut. Lyster their surroundings are not as pleasant as might be desired. They do not fraternize with the natives, as they do in the Philippines, and the peculiar conditions prevailing tend to isolate the soldiers from the people.
