Pyeng Yang, Korea.-To the trav-
eler in Korea, Pyeng, the second
city in the empire, is notable as
boat-shaped city where the peo-
pie are afraid to dig wells lest they
should sink the city; and as the an
cient capital of the nation where Keja
who was Korea's Peter the Great, ruled
about the time King David was on the
throne of Israel and Keja's grave and
Keja's well are still preserved. To the
religious world, Pyeng Yang is known
as the center of the most remarkable
missionary work now under way any
where on the earth.
Within 16 years a Christian con-
stituency of 5000 persons, that is
doubling itself annually, has been built
up and in the surrounding country the
number amounts to more than $4,000.
AS an instance of the way in which
the church grows may be mentioned
the fact that the mother church of
Pyeng Yang has swarmed three times
within four years and yet retains
membership of GA communicates
and 3S4 catechumens. The church,
which seats 1,200 persons on it's floor
of course there are no pews or
chairs-is crowded every Sunday
The attendance at the mid-week pray
er meeting ranges from more than 700
to 1000 or 1900. The smallest of the
congregations which have gone out
from Central church numbers more
than $50 members; the largest twice
that many.

made the beginnings of an insane
asylum, both the first of their kind in
Korea.
More significant than any of these
offshoots of the church, is the public
bath house run by the Christians; for
badly as it needs religion, Korea needs
soap and water. | ask no further
proof of the genuineness of the con-
version of these people than the fact
of this bath house, with it's four bath
tubs and two shower baths-the latter
made by up-tilted and. perforated
Standard oil cans. The full meaning
of this institution can be appreciated
only by one who has travelled in
Korea.

Yang work are still here, and still
young men. They arrived 16 years
ago, Rev. DR.. S. A. Moffett, Rev. Ora.

the northern Presbyterian board.
They CHANGED to be men of large WIS.,
ion and statesmanlike mold, and so
they laid broad foundations upon
which the present phenomenal enter
prise has been rising. Following them
at intervals came II other mission
aries of the same denomination. Prior
to the Presbyterian settlement, DR..
and Mrs. w. ]. Hall, medical mission
aries of the Northern Methodist
church, were already in Pyeng Yang,
but at the death of Dr. Hall in 1894
the Methodfsts withdrew for time,

missionary, teaching the bible one
week day morning to class of more
than hundred women and girls, who
had come in from the country for that
purpose. Mrs. Hall, who is a physi-
clan, has since returned and conducts
a hospital for women, which. however,
burned down a few weeks ago.
An Extraordinary Prayer Meeting.
What may safely be called the most
remarkable midweek prayer meeting
in the world is that which l attended
in the big church in Pyeng Yang. The
building is L-shaped and divided into
halves by wooden partitions at the
angle of the l.. One side is reserved
for women and the other for men.
The church is utterly devoid of furni-
ture, except rough straw mats on the
floor. Into it were gathered on this
Wednesday evening no less than 1000
per sons, men and boys, women and
children, all seated upon the floor.

China Is Nation Of Noises.

Individually the Chinese people are
full of varieties of unsurpassed vio-
lent demonstrations, and collectively
they are only a terrific turbulence. One
most appropriate name for China has
never been given it. 1t has been
called the yellow kingdom, the middle
kingdom, the celestial empire, the pig
tail nation, the sleepy giant and
others. No one of them is more appli-
cable than the nation of noises. Noise
is, Seemingly, the first element of Chi
nese life, and has been cultivated for
centuries by Chinese talent, and in
conception, development and execu-
ton presents not only new varieties.

Bible and followed the Scripture read
ing. The address was listened 10 with
all the intentness and responsiveness
that any speaker could desire. At its
close the leaders and many of the
other men crowded to the platform to
speak with their beloved "Moksa," or
pastor. 1t struck me that this Korean
missionary, and many of his associ-
ates, have work and an opportunity
which the ablest preacher in America
might covet.
How American Doctors Fit the Orient.
One of the first facts about the mis-
sionary community here which strikes
visitor is the harmony and coopera-
ton existing between the two mis-
sions. The missionaries are the only
white people in Pyeng Yang, except
one French tradesman and French
priest. Their social solidarity is as
marked as the unity of their labors.
The three hospitals are run as one,
although maintaining, in some re-
spects, their separate identity. The
largest is the Presbyterian hospital,
conducted by DR.. j. H. Wells. and min
istering to about 10000 patients
year. DR.. E. D. Follwell, at the Meth
odist hospital, treats about 5000, and
DR.. Hall, whose work is entirely for
women, about 5000 patients year.
Jointly, the two men doctors are train
ing % students, who not only pay for
their instruction, and for the privilege
of working in the hospital but are
also required to do evangelistic work
among the patients. One notable char
acteristic of these hospitals, which are
almost entirely self-supporting, is The
to the Korean style of liv-
ing. While they have wards contain
ing beds, most of their patients sleep
on the floor. as in their own homes.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-08-09

and are there treated. Like Korean
houses these wards have heated floors.
DR.. Wells has been consp:cuously sue
cessful in curing the morphine habit,
which the Japanese have introduced
among the Koreans.
Adaptation is one of the character
istics of mission work in Pyeng Yang.
Approaching the city, the visitor can
not at first distinguish the missionary
compounds from the native homes. All
the residences and the school build
ings, and all except one of the
churches (the Methodist), are built in
native style. The interiors of the
homes are naturally adapted to the
use of Americans, and yet they are
small and simple dwellings,.
Teaching the East to Hustle.
The schools are cooperative. Be it
understood that there is no public
school system throughout Korea. Be-
fore the missionaries came, the higher
class boys were taught the Chinese
classics. The creation of the popular
taste for learning, as well as the pro.
duction of most of the literature in
the language of the plain people, may
be credited to the missionaries. It is
quite general for native churches to
maintain primary schools for secular
instruction. There are in this district
at least three higher academies and
the demand for education are by no
means met. 1t is probable that the
missionaries will soon have to forego
all direct teaching and become super.
intendents of instruction. The strate.
gical importance to Christianity of
thus having controlling hand upon
the education of the nation Is appar.
ent at glance.
In Pyeng Yang proper are three
noteworthy schools. One is the col.
lege, with 300 students, all of whom
are Christians and all of whom pass
a stir entrance examination. This is
taught by both Methodist and Presby.
terrain missionaries and by native
teachers. 1t is expected shortly to
grow into Christian college with q
thousand students. There is also a
girls high school with half hundred
students. was much struck with
the industrial school attached to the
college, where some students work
their way through an education. Here
they have genuine blacksmith shop
machine shop and carpenter shop, all
of which are producing marketable
wares. The machine shop, for in
stance, is unable to supply the de-
mand for certain braiding machine
which it turns out. The industry and
the skill shown by the student work
men would seem to indicate unsus
pected capabilities on the part of the
Korean. This establishment more
nearly resembled bona fide work

Watching the Knife PLAY.

There is an awful fascination
about seeing people eat with their
knives" said he who has just spent
a week on the farm for this health,
with retrospective look in his eyes.
"A knife is such an unexpected in
strument. You never know just where
1t is going to strike. You can't keep
your eyes off. You are afraid to look
for fear it might slip and cut the
mouth half in two, and you are afraid
If you don't look it might happen and
you won't get to see It."

An Oregon attorney, representing
a client whose title to a certain cold
storage plant was under fire, closed
an able argument before the Oregon
supreme court recently with the fol-
lowing bit of pathos: your honor,
there is more resting upon your de-
cision than this cold storage plant: a
human life is at stake. My clients
life's efforts are in this cold storage;
his life's blood is in this cold storage;
his body and soul are wrapped up

That fall he was bought by Cleveland,
with which he has been ever since.
Season of 1905 he was bench warmer
but last year worked regularly with
Bemis, until disabled by broken
finger. He is said to have Indian
blood in his veins, weighs 165 pounds
and stands about five feet, nine inches.
He is not only a fine catcher and hard
and accurate thrower, but also an ex-
cellent batsman and has before him
brilliant future in the national game.
President Comiskey, of the Chicago
White Sox, the other day made the
following interesting observation:
"In baseball there is this fact to BIO
borne in mind-a right-hand batter
will, in the long run, bring in more
runs than left-hand batter. For that
reason the fourth and fifth men in the
list should be right-handers in WELD
ing the willow. Why is that? Be-
cause, as rule, the Highlander hits
the ball harder than the left-hander
Besides that, the Highlander hits
naturally to right field, while the left
handler has to pull the ball to do this.
A long fly to right field is surer of
scoring a runner from third than the
same fly to left, for the baserunnel
can watch the fielder easier and gets
a better start for the plate. When a
To- 70 &c
at the plate, facing the pitcher, the
left fielder always comes in closer to
the infield, knowing the usual inabili-
ty of left-handed batters to hit the
ball hard. On the other hand, as soon
as the righthanded batter goes up, the
left fielder gets back deep into the
garden again. So with no outs, or
one down, I'd rather see a right-hand-
ed batter at the plate than left-hand-
er, for the baserunner Is surer OF
scoring, for If 1t is left-hander at the
plate the left fielder is sure to be
drawn in, making the throw to the
plate that much shorter"

After an interval Of II years An
drew Freedman, former president of
the New York National league club
and one of the lieutenants of Richard
Croker, is ready to pay Fred Pfeffer,
Snce a member of Anson's world
heaters, what he owes him. 1t was
some time back in 1896 when Freed
man, imbued with the idea of giving
New York a real baseball team, hired
Fred to play second base. Pfeffer re-
ported in good shape and played for
a time, until Freedman had one of his
moods" and put Fred on the bench.
After while Pfeffer was released,
but Freedman forgot to pay him for
the time he was warming the boards,
and the hero Of many baseball battle
went to court about it. John M. Ward,
also star ball player in his day, but
then, as now, lawyer in New York,
undertook to collect the amount. The
case ran through the courts Of New
York, Freedman consistently losing
and appealing. 1t finally came to the
court of last appeals, and IL the mails
from the east show better speed than
the courts Fred will get check by
and by. He received a letter from
Mr.. Ward recently stating that every
thing was settled and that the Or
iginal amount of $3.50 had been grow

started.
Justin J. Clarke, the brilliant catcher
of the Cleveland club is the youngest

He started his professional career
with an Independent club in Defiance,

short and satisfactory trial from
Toledo, being released before the
championship race started. He then
played in the Texas league for sea-

league purchased his release. He
