Home Life Of the Chinese.

The home life OF the Chinese Is less
familiar to the American than that OF
any other foreign nation represented in
this country. After the manner OF their
|forefathers. the Chinese hold TO con-
sentative Ideas for their women, and
with few exceptions, where the feml-
nine members OF the family have taken
10 attending meetings and clubs in
public, Americans do not get SO much
az peep at the dainty little women
upon whom we bestOw 50 much sym.
patty. but who, after all, IL the truth

ma jorlty "f i.in.e who pity them. The
keynote Of Chinese home life as 1t Is
lived in this country Is cOntentment
The wife aud mother IL happy with
her husband, who. despite his scattered
business interests, be he even q high
! is devotion itself to his family She
| thoroughly enjoys her children. her
| .ozy home with Its musical instru-
lnents, its flowers. and the domestic
pets. All Chinese women are taught to
play the young cunt Il Zithcrlike in
strument, and the majority Of them
sing the queer Oriental songs. which
are verses of the classics set to music.
Without exception. there are flowers In
almost every window of Chinese
! home, though the home consist of only
two rooms. as many OF them In New
York and San Francisco do. These
women know nothing OF the opera. the
horse shows. dinners. and grand cOtil-
Ions among the Chinese women there
are no passec maidens who after three
or four seasons are still unsOught In

ROCkHILL DISCREDI1S
ALARMIST REPORTS

Washington, Feb. 26.-The score
tsry of state has received a telergam
from Mr.. Rockhill, minister to China,
stating that he and his colleagues soc
no cause for undue apprehension con
corning the situation in China. While
they consider caution and watchful-
ness always necessary they believe the
published reports of uneasiness to be
without cause. Missionary troubles
are not more frequent than usual, it
is said. and arc due, as was the Shang-
hal riot, to local causes.
Mr.. Rockhill says the Chinese gov
ernment appreciates the Importance OF
preventing hostilitics to foreigners;
that il has recently been cautioned by
Japan in this respect and has declared
its determination to insure their safe
ty under all circumstances.
The dispatch adds that while the
boycott may continue with local frlc-
ton, nothing more serious IS antici-
pated by those on the ground. pro
nounced general feeling of determine
ton is noted on the part of the Chi
nese to prevent the economic explo'ta-
tion Of their empire.

NAY AVERT BIG SVuIKc.
Coal Operators Propose to Restore
Scale OF l9O3.I9O%.

Pittsburg, Feb. 27.-The Pittsburg
Dispatch says that the coal operators
of the bituminous fields have present
ed proposition to the miners restor-
ing the scale of 1903-l9O4. This will
be an increase of sos per cent. The
operators also request modification
OF the demands for an advance Of IL II

tract be for two or three years. If
the United Mine Workers accept the
compromise proposition, $50, 600 coal
diggers in the four competitive states,
including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois.
and Indiana, and about 100000 United
Mine Workers in the Southwestern
states will receive an advance in
wages.
President John Mitchell of the Uni
ted Mine Workers, was apprised Of
the turn Of affairs in New York and
he Immediately flashed back the pleas
ant news to his personal friends in
Pittsburg.
The national executive board will
hold meeting early in March ut

ton Of miners or the submitting of the

hold another convention and the ref
erendum system will likely be utilized
to settle the matter.
