ROMANCE OF
 WAR TIME

Canton. O. Sept 9.--A romance which had it's beginning on the bloody battlefield of Gettysburg dur ing the civil war, will reach a happy continuation this week at Saratoga, where the Grand Army of the Re- public will hold is national encamp- ment. Major August Vingos of this city is perhaps the happiest delegate to the reunion at the New York spa, by reason of the fact that he will there take as his bride his wartime sweetheart, Mrs. Rebecca L. Price of Lancaster, Pa.
 During the civil war Mrs. Price was a nurse, and in that capacity cared for the Union soldiers who were wounded in the battle of Gettysburg. Euong them was Major Vignos, whose arm had been carried away by 2 canUon Da1T. After Major Vignos had recovered from the injury he left the hospital, carrying with him a photograph of the nurse who had passed with him through the valley of the shadow of death and, through her steadfast care, brought him safe

Shanghai, China.-The man wish q
gun, representing China's modern
army of $4,000 men, is not the most
significant figure in the empire to-day;
that place must be accorded to an
other man in uniform, the student OF
the western learning. How great and
portentious is the change which mas
come over this hoary kingdom may be
seen in this new educational ferment.
China is now committed, irrevocably,
to the occidental type of education.
After milleniums of proud self-suf-
ficiency, and an appalling Ignorance OF
what the west considers learning, the
old system of education, consisting OF
the memorization of the Confucian
classics, has fallen with crash.
knowledge of these classics was until
recently the only road to political
place and social power; men devoted
their lives to an endeavor to pass
these examinations, year after year,
until the number of candidates be-
yond eighty years of age was very
large. All this has now become one
with China's past; the classical ex-
animation system has been abolished
and the famous old examination halls
have been RACED. To-day all who rise
in China must pass through the gate
of the western learning.
China's Craze for the New Education.
The ancient contempt for foreigners
and things foreign gave way in 1900;
western ways as ever was Japan.
