The wiser way would be for the
missionaries openly to disavow re-
sponsihility for the course of all ex-
cept bona fide members of estab-
lished missions; and Hospitality to
meet honest criticism with frank ex-
plantations and with respect for the
motives OF the critics; instead of
maintaining an attitude of silence, Sc
clusion and self-suficiency. In the
matter of the gulf that exists between
the foreign community and the mis-
sionaries, the latter appear to be more
blameworthy than the former, for it is
their business to be friendly with all
men and to guard the good reputation
of their work. Yet in truth they some
times seem the more censorious of
the two. Some of the sweeping asser-
tions Of the missionaries concerning
the evil lives of non-missionary for
eigners are as unfounded as many of
the criticisms which the latter make
of the missionaries. Investigation re-
veals the fact that in Tientsin more

worthy exceptions. All this might be
comprehended within the phrase, gen.
eral unfitness for missionary work in
a port city. 1t is a singular lack of
perception on the part of the mission

often put in the open ports mission

equipment and by temperament are

work there, both among the natives

would be escaped by wiser method
on the part of the boards.
The frequently expressed policy OF
the missionaries, that they have come
to work for the heather and not fol-
Europeans, is mistaken to the point
of absurdity and folly, as in case
ran across here. The best single mis-
sionary enterprise in Tientsin is the
work of the Young Mems Christian

STATE NEWS PIcK-UPS
WITNESS WANTED
Who Is Said to Have Disappeared Aft
er the Dayton Murder.

Dayton, ON the hope Of securing
further information from Max Schu-
mann regarding Dayton's recent dOu-
Bile murder, the authorities are now
looking for him. They believe that an
other sweating" if he in reality was
ever subjected to such process,
might tend to lift the veil of mystery
surrounding the brutal attack on Anna
Markowitz and her companion, Abra-
ham COhan, Of indianapolis, at Nc
Cabe's park several weeks ago.
Schumann was one of the witnesses
who might have been summoned to ap-
pear before the coroner, but he is said
to have disappeared and nothing has
been heard from him since.
1t is said that Schumann called on
the Markowitz girls on the night be-
fore the tragedy, and he is alleged to
have gone to Lakeside Park with them
and to have left the younger girl, Ber-
tina, to take a stroll with Anna. Lake
side is located near the scene of the
tragedy of Sunday night.

The stadium, unlike that at Athens
which has one circular end, thus
doubling the distance of the run, had
$50 As feet in a straight line. There
were no tiers of seats such as we saw
at the stadiums of Delphi, Epidauros
and Athens, but the gentle slopes Of
the hills were sufficient for the specta.
tors. You approach through a long
walk once lined with statues. A little
to the right of the entrance a portico
extended almost the entire width of
the sacred precincts. Under this roof
the people strolled back and forth
awaiting the call of the herald to the
arena. In front of this marvelously
beautiful portico sacrifices to propiti.
ate the gods were burned on affairs
whose foundations are easily traced
now. An archway on the left of the
stadium was the entrance for the con.
testants. One arch is still standing
and is far higher and larger than the
photograph represents. Some Of the
walls of the long entrance remain
having resisted the pressure of the

Columbus, O.-The Interstate OH

the payment of taxes under the Willis
law and sued by the attorney general,
in its answer to the suit set up the
defense that the law in question IS un-

because it imposes a double taxation.
The state officials are not alarmed at
this attack upon the bill, however.

OF course we sought out the temple
where the Hermes once stood. The
base of the Hereaon, the Oldest temple
in Greece, had a row of pedestals on
either side still left, where statues
once stood. Pausanius described the
very place of the Hermes between the
carved columns.
Outside, on the wide walk leading to
the stadium, there are many pedestals
of the money given for fines when the
rules of the games were broken, for
these contests went on for 1000 years
and we're of such Importance that her
aids were sent over the country to
proclaim to turbulent and warlike
Greece that she must pledge herself
to peace while the competition lasted.
After three successes a portrait
statue could be erected in the Altis by
the victor. These date so far back
that the first was wrought in wood.
Some of these figures are now in the
museum at Athens. There is an
archaic stele of Ariston, the first
Olympian runner, which gives some
idea of the costume of the athlete and
the development of the muscles. He
Is said to have run from the battle of
Marathon to bring the news to the
city and to have fallen dead at the
portal of the temple of Theseion. The
spear he carries was doubtless q
trophy won by his prowess.
There is beautiful little temple in
the heart of Athens which visited
over and over again, because it had to
do with the games. The victors ex'
hibited their prizes in public places
and between the sculptured columns
of this temple there once stood the
evidences of the conquests of young
Greece Imagine a whole street OF
such beautiful temples extending from
the theater of Dionysos to the town
all holding the trophies Of the trium
phant competitors.
But Olympia soon lost its loca
eelebrity in the days when the oracle
Of Delphi proclaimed the spot the
favored one Of all the many center!

The ruins of Olympia are far more
accessible than those at Delphi, My
cenae or Epidaurus, for We escaped
the steep climbs. The sacred pre-
cincts were in the valley of the River
Alpheios, and though it is far from
our ideas of what a river should be
it still is a grateful sight to have a
stream in the vicinity of any of the
great ruins of Greece.
OF course, before going to trace our
way through the labyrinth of marble
and rock we stopped at the museum
to see the Hermes. The world will
have to make pilgrimages to this mar
velous statue, for in all the eXcava-
tions carried on by the different
schools and archaeological societies
from every country the Greeks now
insist that the great finds" must be
left in the museums on the grounds,
and SO the large sums offered for the
Hermes have no effect. 1t is to re-
main in the small isolated and unget-
at-able corner of the world. The mu'
scum has accorded the statue large
space quite by itself, and the hush OF
the tourist, the silence in this alcove,
is like that about the Sistine Madonna
in the Dresden gallery. With the
Madonna it is not alone reverence for
art which seems to have been inspired
but for the woman and the mother;
but before the Hermes one Is silent
from awe of what art has accom-
plished.

greatly does it command the respect
Of eminent Chinese, the viceroy him
self being among the contributors.
All the work, including the home of
the missionary, is in big Chinese
residence, with upwards of hundred
rooms. A school which has govern.
ment recognition and approval is
maintained, as well as a library and
an athletic department. Some months
ago the wife of the secretary was TAX
en- suddenly and dangerously i'll. A
messenger was hastily dispatched to
a physician in the foreign concessions,
who reported himself busy. (The
journey by night into the center of
the native city is not pleasant one. }
A missionary physician who, like all
the other missionaries, lives outside
the native city, sent back word when
appealed to-: Il came to treat the
Chinese, and cannot take other pa
tients."
So after this experience, which
might have proved fatal to his wife,
the association secretary, to avoid its
repetition, is obliged to consider the
possibility of surrendering his home
amid the Chinese, where he is doing
notable work, and of taking up his
residence in the foreign settlement.
Probably such an extreme instance as
this of the contention of the mission.
airy, that he came to work for natives
and not for foreigners, cannot be du.
plicated. But it is nevertheless sig
nificant.

from Athens to Patras, but not un-
comfortable. Then comes night in a
hotel that makes you shiver every
time you think of it afterward. Next
morning there is an early start on
such a railroad! The one daily train
stops at every vineyard and wine shop
apparently and trails along so slowly
that it takes one twice the time for the
journey that is necessary. There
never has been a town at Olympia. 1t
was a district sacred to temples, al.
tars, treasure houses, the palaces of
kings and to the celebration Of the
games.
At the ruins at Delphi we had
seen the only laurel tree left
where so many years before chaplets
were woven to place on the brows Of
the winners of the games; so we knew
that the laurel which is so rare now ir
Greece grew then under the patient
care of those who had dedicated its
leaves to the conqueror.
