ports. They have no right to reside
or do business elsewhere. The for
eigners in the interior, with the ex-
ception of a few working on conces-
sions, are only missionaries. These
latter are likewise practically the only
ones who spend laborious years in
learning the Chinese language; the
foreign mercantile houses do business
through English-speaking Chinese
"shroffs" or "compradores." 1t is as
true as most congratulations, to say
that the missionaries alone among the
foreigners understand the Chinese.
So it was, quite naturally, the mis-
sionaries who first called attention to
the imminence of famine in Kiangpeh,
or North River country. During the
spring and summer heavy rains fell
throughout Kiangpu and Anhuei
provinces, and in the adjacent parts
of Shantung and Honan provinces.
The Yellow river overflowed its banks,
as did the Grand canal and lesser
streams, bikes breaking in many
places. Since the land is at many
the country was long time sub
merged.
Despite the floods, the mission
aries continued to traverse their
fields, one of them, at least, nearly
losing his life by drowning. Miss
Read, for example, of Antung, timer
ated among the sufferers for six and
seven miles at time, in water above
her waist, on one occasion she was
barely out of house before it col
iapsed. Native churches and native
homes, both alike built of mud or of
sun dried bricks, crumbled before the
attacks of the waters. So before
China herself knew that there was to
be a famine, the missionaries were
sending home their pleas to the re-
ligious papers. A missionary relief
committee was first in the field, but
1t was later rendered unnecessary by
the larger, stronger general commit
tee at Shanghai, which soon had the
missionaries who live in the district
busily employed distributing its funds.
The UnspeakabIe Chinese.
Christendom can never understand
the Chinese, not even when it sees
him in his native element. The depth
and callousness of his selfishness and
materialism is simply beyond the tell
ing. In sharp contrast with the activ-
ity of the missionaries in behalf of the
homeless and the hungry was the in
difference of the Chinese officials. At
first they reported that there was no
famine. Then they tried to minimize
It. Then, when it became evident that
relief funds were in sight, affording
rich pickings to the rascals, they
swelled the figures enormously. My
own investigation confirms me in the
belief that the missionary figures are
conservative; 100000 people, over
10000 square miles, affected by the
famine, and 100000 menaced by &C.
tual starvation unless given aid.

The officials here are merely trying

The remarkable number of extra
inning games of unusual length re
ported in the middle west recently
has raised, in the minds Of a portion,
of the baseball public, suspicion as tn
the genuineness of some Of these pei
formances. In a few isolated cases
these suspicious may be well ground
ed. There is certain amount OF
prominence given games of unusual
length, and considerable discussion
created. Consequently there is some
temptation for those connected with
teams of small caliber to attract atten-
ton to themselves by this method.
But it is not possible to do this falsely

persons the truth is bound to leak out
eventually. This is just what hap.

Consequently there is little ground for

PLANTATION of these long contests, es-
pecially in the minor leagues, seems
to be lack of batting. Experienced
men and the scouts employed by ma
jor league club owners to look out for
new talent find there is plenty of
promising new pitching material in
the smaller leagues, but scarcity of
players who can bat. One reason given
is that the prominence and the salary
of successful pitcher tempt every
youngster with pitching ability to de-

of batting is neglected in consequence,
because every youngster on the lots
knows no pitcher is expected to be a
batter. This means that in a few
years there will be so many good
pitchers and so few batters that extra
inning games will be of almost daily
occurrence and will cease to excite
interest. Then there will arise de-
mand for nine inning games with
some batting in them, and to produce
that the rulers of the game will have
to devise means to handicap a lot of
pitchers out of business and increase
the batting.

HIT or cREAn JTRAW

One Of the sign-posts on the autumn
road points Enthusiastically to millinery
made of tightly-stretched silk-and
satin-broadly hemmed and trimmed
at one side with a dropping feather OF
the ostrich or paradise persuasion.
The shape of these shows a mush-
room tendency, but bears a higher
crown than the mushroom of yester
year; and as half-season fancy which
shall fill the gap between straw and
fur, l welcome it most cordially.
And another attractive idea, which
serves a like purpose, is the hat made
OF cretonne ribbon-a novel manufact-
ure; soft Of texture and patterned in
subdued and delicate colors, this is to
be found bordered or plainly edged
with silk, and can be contrived into
bows, which cover most elegantly any
small closely-itting shape. The best
example l have seen was mounted on
grey satin-straw bound with grey
glace, and the cretonne ribbon was
shown with floral design in grey and
mauve.
All the newest and most attractive
cloche hats show the high ''fower-pot"
crowns, and they are almost invari-
ably lined with satin taffetas or fine
linen, the latter for hats of the pure
ly ''early morning" order.
Notwithstanding the charms-and
they are many-of the big cloche COW
cred with delicate flowers there is an
other genre of hat which is running it
very close in the race for popular
fayor-and this is the moderately
large cloche trimmed with many enor-

Progress of the Human Race.

Sir Oliver Lodge has been rebuking
the pressimists who profess to believe
that humanity is on the down grade,
and that the human race is becoming
effete and worn out. We should say
that the only fact the latter have to
go upon is that our digestions are
certainly weaker. Not only would q
Roman banquet kill modern "bon
WANT but we very much question
whether he would face with equanimity
a copy of one of Queen Elizabeth's
feasts. On. the other hand, we are
certainly healthier than our ancestors,
and we are a bigger race. We live
longer, and few modern athletes
could get into any of the suits of ar
NOR in the towner Whatever we are
more intelligent and more enduring is
at least an open question.-London

Evelyn Nesbit posed. hoping thus to
establish the day the Nesbit girl says
she had the experience with Stanford
White in the Twenty-fourth street
house.
Mr.. Dslmas objected On the ground
that the evidence tended to contradict
Mrs. Thaw's story and was not per
missible. Mr.. jerome said he desired
to take advantage of the waiver Mr..
Delmas had made at the beginning OF
the trial in regard to rebutting Mrs
Thaw's story.
IF you will let me fix the date OF
these pictures" he said heatedly. 81
will show that on the night following
the day they were taken, when Mrs,
Thaw says she was ruined, Stanford
White was not in the Twenty-fourth
street house at all
Mr.. Jerome fairly shouted the last
words and pounded the table before
him. Mr.. Delmas said he must stand
upon his objection, and it was sus'
tanned. He then moved that the dis
trict attorneys improper remarks for
which he has given much emphasis OF
voice and gesture" be stricken from
the records.
Mr.. Jerome retorted by asking the
court to instruct the jury that the al
legged ravishment or nonravishment OF
Evelyn Nesbit had nothing whatever
to do with the case.
Justice Fitzgerald admonished the
jurors to pay no attention to the re-
marks of counsel addressed to the
court and to confine themselves strict
iy to the evidence.
1t was after this conflict that the
agreement as to the closing stages was
reached. Mr.. Jerome said he would
introduce as witnesses Abraham Hum
mel and his stenographer. Then if
plans carried, he would conclude the
states case with the testimony OF
three experts-Doctors Austin Flint
Carlos Macdonald and William Mahon
It was agreed that after the defense
has put in it's case in sur-rebuttal each
side shall have one clear day for the
summing up. Then will follow the
charge of the court and the considera-
ton of the evidence by the jury. The
experts will not be reached before
Thursday, and, figuring upon the
disposal of one day the last of the
trio will not be examined until Mon
da,2next. The defense will probably
occupy the remainder of next week
and the summing up will begin on
Monday, March 25.
That will bring the charge to the
jury on Wednesday, March q.
