ArchdeaCOn Emery and Family
Arrlvein Washington Driven
by Adverse Criticism
MAY GO TO BRITISH COLUMBIA
Girl and Japanese Rode on Same
Train But Did Not Recognize Each
Other in ANY Way-Father Seems
to Have Given In.

SEATTLE. March 26.-Driven by
adverse public sentiment from Cali
fornia and Oregon TO this city, Arch
deacon Emery, wife and daughter,
who is bethrothed to Gunjiro Aoki, a
Japanese, arrived here this after
noon and registered under assumed
names, while Aoki sought the shelter
AZ the home OF his fellow country
men. Without making any public
announcement il is plain that the
archdeacon has consented TO the mar
riage he personally attended TO the
affairs OF the party since their arrival.
The arrival OF the party in Seattle
occasioned no unusual demonstra-
ton nor caused any undue excite
ment There was little or no cur
iosity concerning them. Tonight the
archdeacon sought the advice Of the
Canadian immigration officials re-
garding the entry OF Japanese into
British Columbia and It may be that
the marriage will take place on one
Of the steamers leaving here this af-
ternoon when they get outside the
three-mile limit. Aoki arrived at Ia
coma Wednesday and joined the
party in that city. Today on the
train the Japanese and his bride-to-
be sat several seats apart and did,
seemingly, not recognize each other,
A dozen newspapermen were in the
car and to all intents the Japanese
and white girl were strangers. To-
night the arehdeaeon said he did not
know whether he would be here a
few hours or day and that no def
mite arrangements have been made
for the marriage, He seemed sur.
prised that so much interest attached
to their affairs.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Just what
a liberal education consists of is at
present interesting the American
Academy of Medicine. The tenden-
cies Of the times to shave the classics
and laud the natural sciences has led
DR.. Charles +, Thwing, president OF
the Western Reserve University, to
communicate the following views to
the members:
"Mere knowledge in certain limited
spheres assuredly does not make the
literally educated man or woman, |
have known a man of high scientific
attainments in certain fields who
spent large amount of his time in
watching earthworms which he had
made intoxicated, ! have known
woman of equal attainment in the
world of science who devoted much
time to the observation Of the breed
ing Of mice in order to see what col
ors would result from various inter.
breedings,
but ! should hardly call this man
or woman scientist literally educated
The person who is literally educated
has knowledge, learning and mental
attainments as we'll as wide out
look and generous sympathies,"
