CHINA'S AWAKENING.
Rev. NJ. b. Eubank Tells OF the EN-
pire's Progress In Six Years.

Rev. NJ. b. Eubank Tells OF the EN-
pire's Progress In Six Years.
The Rev. NJ. B. Eubank, NJ. D., for
merly pastor Of Emanuel Baptist
church at Kansas City, Mo-, recently
returned from Huchau, China, with a
wonder story of the new China" that
is awakening. says the Kansas City
Star. Il left Kansas City," he said,
'in October, 1899, to take over the Hu-
chau mission at the direction Of the
northern division of the Baptist Ms
sionary unions. have been in China,
therefore, barely six years, and this is
what have seen happen:
There were in all China when I
went just six newspapers. Now there
are hundreds Of them. They are active
in getting news, and all Of them are
creditably conducted. The telegraph is
everywhere, away even in the Seehuen
province, right ON the Tibetan borders.
In 1898 the empress revoked every re-
form promulgated by the young en-
peror. The public opinion created by
the newspapers has forced her since
then to grant every one Of them. Even
the ancient system Of education has
been abolished, and in its stead there
are thousands Of public schools teach
ing modern subjects.
six years ago there were only $50
miles Of railroad in China; now there
are fully $500 built or building.
And Yien Shi Kai, viceroy Of Chill
province, has an army of 100000 men,
trained by japanese and German Off
GERS and both uniformed and equipped
on modern lines. There are 10000 Chi
nese students in Japan.
China is awakening more rapidly
than the people anywhere dream" DR..
Eubank concluded, land it will not be
long before she becomes a world power
and a great one. OF that I am firmly
convinced"

YESTERDAY THE
HOTTEST DAY
Of YEAR
Temperature, Reached 9l.5 at
1910 Which is the Highest
So Far for 1905.

Yesterday was the hottest day OF the
year. Many would almost make affi-
davit that it was hotter than any day
last year, especially the fellow who
was working IN the sun along about
10 and II o'clock. At that time the
mercury lowered around 80 degrees,
but the highest record was reached
at 10:4 40 o'clock, when the thermome-
ter at the local Office registered 91.3.
The previous high record for this year
was on June II, when it registered 81.
The minimum temperature yesterday
was 76 degrees.
Last year on the same date the max
imum temperature was so degrees,
and the minimum 73 degrees, with a
rainfall of 25 of an inch.
1t has been noticed that during the
past week the high temperatures come
in the forenoon. Every day the high
est has been registered between the
hours of 10 and u, with but one ex-
ceptiOn.
Observer Reed in his daily summary
Of weather conditions yesterday said:
The pressure is still low from New
Mexico northward, the barometer be-
ing lowest in North Dakota and show
ers and thunderstorms prevail in the
Dakotas and Nebraska; rain contin-
ues in the north Pacific states; show
ers and thunderstOrms also prevail in
New York and New England states are
under the influence of a low pressure
area; some appreciable showers have
been scattered in the east Gulf and
south Atlantic states and in extreme
southern Texas; elsewhere, generally
fair weather has prevailed.
Temperatures have fallen consid-
erably in parts Of Nebraska, the Dako-
tas and Montana.
The southeastern high pressure
area has remained stationary and gen
orally fair weather with variable winds
is indicated for this vicinity tonight
and Saturday"

Robbery Upheld by
s.. Louis Judge.

The recent OecisiOn of a St. Louis
judge, in effect that a person purchas-
ing goods from a trust cannot be COM
PEELED 10 pay for such goods if 1t
De shown that the parties from whom
the goods were purchased were, ar
the time. operating in violation Of the
antitrust laws, is rather unusual, 70
Say the least The particular case
which led TO the decision was that OF
a plumber who, having bought goods
valued at $3.50 from a firm dealing in
plumbers supplies, refused to pay
therefor, and upon being sued. entered
the novel plea, that as the firm was
connected with a trust and was. there
for operating in defiance Of law, col
lection Of the debt coulG not be
forced.
Two wrongs never yet made a right.
and the decision of the learned St
Louis jurist in this case would seem
70 put a premium upon villiany. The
purchase Of the goods was not denied,
and that they were subsequently sold
b.. the plumber who secured them,
and profits Of the transaction, to-
Rether with the money that was just
u due the firm from which they had
teen purchased, pOcketed by the said
plumber, was practically admitted
How, therefore. the judge reached
the conclusion that one man was le-
Eally entitled to rob another. even
though the latter should be a Grimm
al in the eyes of the law, is a mys-
tery that has not yet been solved.

A .cPerrundsd. Prisoner.

The resourceful man is the one who
succeeds. There is a deputy marshal
in Alabama who does not let any such
trifles as extradition laws stop him. A
writer In the Washington Post tells
story Of one Of his achievements.
When the term OF court was about to
begin one time a man who was out on
bail was reported to be enjoying him
self over in Georgia.
Deputy Jim went after him. The
next day he telegraphed the judge:
Il have persuaded him to come.'
A few days later he rode into town
on mule, leading his prisoner, tied up
snugly with a clothesline. The prisoner
looked as II he had seen hard service.

''You didn't make him walk all the
way from Georgia, did your

Tennessee to Establish
tuberculosis Hospital.

The great white plague. tuberculO-
SIS. is responsible for more deaths an
nually than any other known disease
and although science has advanced 10
the point where many diseases, here
tofore considered incurable may be
controlled, but little progress has
been made against the ravages of tu-
berculOsis. The state Of Tennessee is
taking an advanced position with re-
lstiOn 10 this malady and purposes es-
tablishing a hospital for its treatment
in connection with the penitentiary
system. The Memphis Commercial
Appeal has the following to say rela-
tive TO the project:
The state is to establish a tubercu-
lOsis hospital in connection with the
penitenUary system. This is a step
in the right direction, and we venture
70 say that the benefits of the insti-
tuition viii be recognized during the
first year Of its existence. We trust
that good work Of this kind is not 10
be limited 10 those connected with
felOnies. If We have criminals &c
also have the worthy poor and we be
leve the latter should be cared for
and protected in this respect before
the criminal classes are given the
benefit. But We will not quarrel with
the state authorities on these grounds;
FOR we feel satisfied that the consump-
ton hospital for The afflicted Grimm
81 viii sooner or later lead 10 one for
those citizens whose limited fortunes
preclude them from taking advantage
Of the one chance in a hundred for
conQuering this dreadful disease.
OF course we must take the marvel
Gus tales Of the enthusiast with the
common sense grain of salt. We can
not believe all We hear Of miraculous
cures. but science and sanitation both
suggest and endorse the tuberculosis
farm and, II statistics are to be be-
neved. public economy is also found
advocating these Institutions. There
fore We hail this consumption hos
pltal for afflicted Tennessee Grimm
els as the forerInner Of something
grander and better. something beauti-
fully humane as well as economical

treat for the sufferers from the great

ATTACK OF FLYING FISH.

Schooner Made a Target For Thou
sands of Ffnny Fighters.
The steamer Claudine was recently
attacked by flying fish in the Hawaii
channel between the islands Of Hawaii
and Maui, says a Honolulu correspond
ent of the New York Herald. The
searchlight on the vessel evidently at
tracted and angered the fish. A large
school Of the fish suddenly rose out Of
the water and instead Of flying away
from the boat, as is usually the case
with that variety Of fish, they few over
the bow Of the craft. One Of them few
directly for the light and broke the
glass, putting the light out Of commits
sion. A dozen fish reached the upper
bridge Of the vessel, and two struck
the side of the man on watch, nearly
knocking him over.
1t has been noted by island captains
that the searchlights seem to affect the
flying fish in a very strange way. The
fsh evidently do not like the bright
light cast upon the waters, for they in
variably fly at the 1Ight, probably In an
effort to extinguish it after the fash

NOVEL READING.

A Suggestion For Less of 1t For Girls
Under Twenty-Five.
Fewer novels for girls under twen-
ty-f1ve," is the recommendation of a
writer who believes that the silly nov
els girls read are responsible for many
unhappy marriages and much of the
disillusionment of women. Consumed
with curiosity and sentimental long
ings, a girl turns for information to
fiction, the result being that she forms
q totally erroneous and generally silly
conception of life. At the outset her
head is stuffed with sentimental non
sense written by people who know
nothing Of society and still less Of life,
the consequence too often being that
the girl who imagined men committing
suicide for her sake finds herself part
nerless at her first dance or, at best,
Waiting with a pale faced youth in an
immaculate shirt front, who, to aid his
memory, has probably jotted her down
on his programme as skinny, with
freckles." This author holds it doubt
full whether even healthy fiction of the
type Of "Ivanhoe" is necessary for
girls. AS for the stories which tell Of
meek little governesses marrying heirs
to peerages and typewriters with holes
in their stockings graciously bestowing
their hands on magnates and million
aires, the author sums them up by OBJ
serving that it is quite as pernicious in
the long run to read them as to read
Of passion. intrigue and villainy.
