airy is reported to have occurred in
Lien Chow, China. This fear was
attributed to homesickness by DR..
Chestnut. In her letter she ex-
pressed herself as being lonely and
nervous ever since her visit to her
relatives in the United States,
while on furlough in 1898.
While on her furlough, DR..

in Parkville, Mo-, and at North
western university woman's medi-
cal college in Chicago. She was
sent to China from Chicago as
missionary eleven years ago by the

ty of the Chicago presbytery. Dis
patches from Hong Kong last

dered with four fellow-wO rkers at

The editor Of this humble sheet
may be pretty shallow but he
certainly sees no unkindness in
his recent comment on Senator
klttredge which failed to meet
the approval of the Parker New
Era. Senator Kittredge as a
public man, must be judged by
his acts. We claim the privilege
OF judging all men and measures
as they appear to US and if our
judgement IS wrong time will dem
onstrate the fact. We have no de-
sire to be unfair to Senator Kit
tredge and shall just as promptly
praise when he does anything
worthy of praise. And really

and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what

can be no permanent success of
