MORE spuNk NEEDED.

We need here In the United states
a little more OF that good old English

have been inclined to regard the Eng.

Memphis, Tenn.--Two of the most re-.
msrkable characters in the world are in
Memphis, brought here by the laymen'-
eonvention-one an Englishman and the
other a Korean prince. One lives in the
heart Of benighted Africa, where he has
served fourteen years as a missionary
the other has lived most Of his life in
his native Korea, where he has occu-
pied various positions Of state. and is
now content 10 MI the honored post Of
president of the Methodist College, es-
tablished by the Southern church, Of
which he has been for more than TWEEN
~ years an ordained minister.
The Englishman addressed great con-
gregation at the Second Presbyterian
Church Tuesday night, and IL Is no dis
credit to all Of the other distinguished
men on the program to say that his ad-
dress has been the piece de resistance Of
the convention so far.
Unheralded, practically unknown, un-
assuming and little noticed, Willis r.
IIotchkiss sat on the platform by the
side Of John r. Pepper and looked out
into the sea Of faces before him, prac-
tically the most inconsequential man in
the auditory. Two hours later, hun
dreds Of those men were crushing
against the pulpit to grasp the hand
Of one Of the greatest heroes and, one
might say, empire builders in the mis-
sion field. His story was told with that
completeness which characterizes the
Englishman the world over. They are
thorough people and we in America, at
any rate, never hear any but the best
prepared and equipped Of their public

Two deaths from cholera have come
Immediately under DIR. Doty's atten-

SAINT Anna, died five days out from
Naples and was buried at sea The
other case was that Of Marozain SEQ

to Swinburne island Sept. % from the
Germania and who died two days
later. Five other suspected cholers
cases from the Germania are still al
Swinburne island with one observa-

from the SAINT Anna.
