MARRIAGE VIEWS IN CHINA

!, it follows that it is not for the conven- | fence of the man and woman concerned. | Individual concerns, pleasure, convenience | and happiness are merely incidentals and not the sum totals of the purpose of
 marriage The parties assuming the mar riage state are merely performing the necessary functions of life Once as-
 sumed it is final and there Is no way out of it but death.
 "To the Oriental marriage is absolute and not a trial. We marry because we
 must. You marry because you will; we
 marry because we hold it an obligation to our ancestors and a duty to our pos terity; you marry because you fancy that ! you have found your affinity. "In China no life career Is considered
 a success unless marriage state Is en-
 tered into finally and truly. A man Is no man until he is married. Though a
 Chinaman be born a bachelor he invarfa-
 bly, dies married man, provided he lives to a marriageable age.
 ITO the slow thinking, Chinese marriage will not last for a day or a year, but for all time. It will last for better or for
 worse in truth; it sticks closer than a brother through all the span of life. Di- vorce is unknown and trial marriages much less
 You regard marriage as an affair of the heart, and by logical conclusion you are bound to follow the whim and fancy of ever changing emotions in choosing so-called life partners. We pay more at- tention in its negotiation than you exert in the search into the title of farm or lot with a view of purchase
 "In this delberation we do not for moment take into consideration the peo- pie immediately involved, consequently our own people have absolutely nothing
 to do in their marriage arrangements.
 Tn a Chinese marriage absolute impar-
 tiality is extended to all the parties con-
 cerned; either party can take the initia-
 tive in negotiation for marriage, while in America a square deal Is denied the girl.
 The young man has the initiative and
 chance to choose, while the young girl has no chance at all.
 Your method Is unequal, partial ana unjust, for you deny the woman privil- eges that are her right In our marriage ceremony we are also far ahead Of you, for we do not enjoin the woman to obey her husband, neither do we ask her to love him. For to civilized being the one is just as irksome as the other | Ng Poon Chew's remarks will be dis- cussed by the club at its next meeting. | Opinions of members as to the clever | Chinese lecturers startling utterances l were bedged by the fact that he was their | guest.

From the New York World.
 Berkeley, Cal.-Taking Domestic Life of the Orient as Compared With Domes- tic Life of the Vest" Ng Poon Chew Chinese editor and lecturer, gave the Berkeley Hillside club something to pom der over, and by the same token, aroused in many of the members what there IS hidden in him, a vein of humor of the kind for which MT. Wu, the Chinese ann bassador, is celebrated.
 He said in part: AS we Chinamen un- derstand it, love is an hallucination, a de- fusion, intoxicating, mirage Ill, the ueseie of passion, a perverted product or oe- luded brain, disease, and most ueaoiy contagious one, a kind of dementia Amer icana. If is a symptom of disordered brain, as a nightmare is a symptom or a disordered stomach.
 I've Orientals have no use Tor love- emotion or tender passion in marriage al- fairs or any other affairs We are not sickly sentimental creatures, but cola' philosophical, fatalistic beings. we do not know, we do not recognize and love, strict or free.
 Tn these matrimonial affairs you Amer jeans go at it blndly. In all other things, even the most inconsequential ones, you follow reason; but in the most important of all llfe's affairs, marriage, you follow the blind impulse of the reason defylns emotion or passion.
 You throw deliberation, logical con- clusion. reasoning, all the products Of the matured brain, to the winds, and, rusn- ing along under the influence and stimuli lation of one of the by-products Of pas sion, which for a better name you term love, you come to grief on the shoals or matrimony To the Oriental mind such a course leads only to disaster
 We admire the American people Tor their intellectual attainments, their ma terial progress; yet we cannot but mar vel at you, wise as you seem to be, per mitting yourselves to be led and be guld- ed by the mischievous brainless kid you call Cupid in the most serious affairs of life. Now since marriage is arranged in such a haphazard manner it is no wonder YOU call it lottery and so many draw blanks.
 "In China marriage is regarded as the menas. while in this country 1t Is the end. IT. sometimes ends in a surprisingly short time. Now since marriage Is the means for the conservation of the human race'

is particularly true in the Italian dis tricts where landlords have devised the plan of putting premium upon over crowding. This they do by charging the tenants so much per head in a sliding scale downwards according to the num- Der of residents in the house.

The Maid Not Equal To 1t.
From the New York Times.

The young wife was perhaps the most punctilious housekeeper in the greater city. She fairly lived for the annihilation of dust particles and her three maids knew a degree of discipline more rigid than that of General Butcher. One day her waitress de- parted. an exceedingly common occur ence in even a fiawless establishment. A new maid came to take her place. After an elaborate inquisition, the new servant was engaged on probation. The young wife explained:

Canon City, Colo, Apr. 27.-
Much apprehension is felt here over
the fruit situation.
Saturday night &c degrees was re-
corded by the government thernlom-
eter. In some parts of the county

The frost was not nearly so heavy
as that of April 20, 1907, when the
temperature dropped to is degrees
and the leaves on the trees were
frost bitten.
The frosts of Saturday night and
last night seriously injured the pears,
peaches, grapes, plums and straw
berries; but the damage to the ap-
pie crop will not be known for sew
eral days.

tie damage was reported. From La
mar and Holly, it was reported that
the freezing point was not reached
and that the trees had only suffered
slightly from the cold wave.
In the Fountain valley some dam
age was reported: but it is not con-
sidered that the crop will be serious
ly damaged,
In and around Colorado Springs a
temperature of % degrees was re-
ported, causing much damage to the
fruit trees.

Little Danger Tonight.
There is no danger of frost in the

weather report published in another
column.
The lowest temperature recorded
at the local weather bureau during
the past "a hours was 81 degrees.
The lowest recorded at the local sta
ton on Saturday night was 29 de-
grees.
No grower should get it into his
head that all danger is now over for
the season. The danger period will
not be entirely passed for at least
two weeks. To be on the safe side.

Situation at Montrosc.
j. X. Kyle of Montrose is reported
as saying that inspections of that
fruit section indicates that Montrose
still has about rs per cent of her

most of the apple trees were not in
bloom. The peaches are seriously
damaged Smaller fruits are badly
hurt.
At Delta.
Reports from Delta indicate that
nearly all of the peaches are gone
and there is about so per cent of an
apple crop left.
At Surface Creek.
All kinds of fruits seriously dam
aged. Peaches nearly all gone.
Hotchlxiss and Paonia.
Reports from Hotchkiss tell of ex-
tremely heavy damage in that dis
trict. Apples seem about rs per
cent to the good at Paonia. There
will be about a rs per cent peach
crop.

Considerable damage to fruits of
all kinds. Two hundred cars were
shipped from DeBeque last year.
Fremont County Suffers.
1t is reported that the temperature
fell as low as Is and 20 degrees in

The Sentinel this afternoon from
Palisade, the lowest temperature re-
corded by the government thermom-

DeBeque Saves Half.
A late report from DeBeque this
afternoon states that so per cent of
the apple crop has been saved in
that section of the county.

of the ranchmen and this was what
saved them from total loss.

1T is NOT so BAD.
Especial to The sentinei.)

Colorado Springs, Apr. 27.-Al-
though the Saturday nights frost
blighted the orchards in all parts of
Colorado, reports received last night
by kilograms from the fruit districts
of the state indicate that the loss
will not be as heavy this year as
it was in April, 1907.
Colorado orchards are usually so
heavily laden that much fruit is lost.
Consequently, If only fraction of
the blossoms mature, it is believed by
many experts that this years crop
will average well with previous years
free from frosts.
