CONVERTING THE CHINESE.
Attraction OF Sex Prcdominatcs, Not
that OF Religion.
(Harper's Weekly.)


teacher, elsie Sigcl, who was mrr-
dcred by her Chinese lover no bet
ter sense has been spoken than is at
tributed by the papers to Miss Helen
Clark, of the Clark Mission in Worth
street For fifteen years, Miss Clark
says, she has protested against white
women attempting to Christianize
Chinese, and she declares that there
are more women missionaries de-
graded by Chinese men than there
are Chinese converted. Miss Clark
goes on to say:
1T is the attraction Of sex that
predominates in both cases, not that
OF religion. Despite all that is in
the papers, the public does not see
the other sidc-the Chinese side
The pictures that have seen are Of
young, vain. frivolous white women
deliberately flirting with and leading
on their Chinese pupils.
But consider what a puzzle such
a woman must be to the Chinese, of
a race totally unaccuStomcd to any
freedom for women. Is it strange
that they misiudgc behavior that
even an American man would ques-
ton?
AS to what subtle attraction
causes the downfall Of the white wo-
man missionary do not know. The
Chinaman is a mystic, but not ro-
mantic--not in the sense that would
appeal to women.
"rhe only light can see IS in
OF the Chinese, their kindness and
gcntlencss to women.
Docs any one realize that more
than half Of the women of the under
make their homes there, are there
because Chinese are more kind to
them than white men? 1t is true.
| have seen it: seen Chinese practi-
cally married to these women, the
slaves Of opium, treating them with
patience and consideration. Maybe
1t is this gentleness which appeals.
know moi what else"
Practically all the Chinese in this
country are living isolated from the
women OF their own race. They are
about as dangerous associates for
young girl missionaries, and the
girl missionaries are about as dan
gcrous company for them. as could
be conceived. For American women
who are Interested in the Christiani-
ZatiOn Of the Chinese the place to
Chinese women. There is a vast deal
to do, hut among the Chinese men
who live here there is no work in
which young women may safely en-
gage. or all the Eastern countries
China is in these days the most at
tractivc to missionaries OF discern
mcnt ana devotion. In the Chinese
they see the best and strongest hui

race that promises under Western in

greatest efficiency and the highest

that when she says: "Whitc women

Gadsden. August Especial. THE
federal court convened here this morn :
ing. The grand jury is proceeding
with its Investigations and two Juries
have been organized for the trial CT
cases. one of the features of the
court is the presence of negro on
the jury, probably the first that has
ever served in this capacity in the his
tory of the county. The case of Clyde

to defraud is being tried this after
noon. The session of the court prom

proprietor of the Bellevue hotel on
Lookout mountain, in the SUBURBS of
the city, came before the body with
proposition to build a railway TO
the mountain and Noccalula falls near
by. 1t Will be rememb ered that Hart
and H. H. Rodgers, another promoter.
both wanted franchise to build the
line some months ago and that IL was
finally given TO Rodgers. Rodgers hav-
ing failed to meet the conditions OF
his privilege, the way is now open
for further action and Hart assured
the business men that if he were given
a franchise and the citizens subscribed
$4,000 toward building the line ne had
men interested who would proceed with
the enterprise at once. The challenge
was promptly accepted and $4,000 of the
sum needed was pledged at once. An
organized effort will be made with
out delay to secure the rest and this
will no doubt be accomplished within
a few days.

Fifth street The cement binder is
being put on the street and within
a week or 10 days the thoroughfare will

vet whether the company will start
at once on the work of the additional
contracts taken on streets not in the
original plan of paving but on which
the property owners have asked thar
paving be laid before the contractors
leave the city.
A committee from the city council
has been making an inspection of the
walks in the paved district for the
purpose of deciding what walks Were
to be condemned and which were TO
be allowed to remain. The walks are
to be made uniform and also must be
made Is feet wide instead of 10 as
are most of them at the present time.
It is not likely that many will fill
the requirements and most of the prop
erty owners will be compelled to puild
entirely new walks.
