THE LATE KING EDWARD VII

that Edward always Inclined 10 the
Nationalist In Irish politics. but con-
stltutional restrictions prevented his
showing his preferences In relation to
the Emerald Isle.
AS a diplomat Edward was unexcel
led among the monarchs Of Europe
His influence was always thrown to
the side OF international peace where
compatible with national honor. and
his advice and example had a steady
ing effect on all Europe He looked
with amused tolerance on the va
carries and extravagances OF his neph-
ew. the emperor OF Germany, but oc-
casionaliy that ruler exasperated him
TO such an extent that he could not
refrain from giving him some stern
advice. Such admonition was not re-
ceiyed by william In a submissive
spirit, and once In a while there were
sensational rumors that the peaceful
relations between the two countries
were about to be ruptured.

hood Edwards public duties consisted
solely In the ONCE Of representing the
royal family AZ all manner OF public
events. and he performed theee du-
Ties well. But the deadly monotony
OF such a life was too much for the
vigorous man. and he found relaxa.
ton In amusements that frequently
gave rise 10 scandals and that gave
the world a wrong impression OF his
real character. He was especially
fond OF the theater and among his
boon companions for years we're ac'
tresses and actors. Also he devel.
oped n great liking for Paris and often
visited that gay capital incognlto.
But all this. as has been said, was
only his relaxation. and after coming
TO the throne his conduct always was
so circumspect that not the most cap
uous critic could find any fault with II.
Edward was always liberal patron
OF art and science and manifested a
lively interest In exhibitions, chart.
table institutions. the housing OF the
poor. agriculture and other matters
that concerned the welfare OF his sub.
jects. He assisted In promoting the
Royal College OF Music. and the I'm
periai institute was due TO his sug-
gestion. While prince Of Wales he
carefully abstained from participation
In politics and from all action that
could be construed into preference OF
one party over another. He culti-
waited the most friendly relations with
public men. whatever their opinions
might be. and he was equally cour.
teous to all. At peculiar crises OF pub

AN lNToLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago. some
form Of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was q slight itching but
Il grew steadily worse until. when
combed my hair. the scalp became
raw and the ends Of the ccmb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most OF the
time there was an intolerable itching.
In painful. burning way. very much
rs a bad. raw burn, II deep, win itch
and smart when nrst beginning to
heal Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because OF the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
In despair. really afraid OF becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that. when partially awake. I would
scratch the worst places SO that my
finger-tips would be bloody. 1 could
not sleep we'll and. after being asleep
. short time. that awful singing pain
would commence and then I would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said II must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before. now decided to
order a set of the Cuticura Remedies
-cuticura Soap. Ointment and Pills.
I used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks. then left on.
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated. but toward spring. eighteen
months ago. there was slight re-
turn OF the scalp humor. CON-
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, SO had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half cake
OF Cuticura Soap and half box Of
Cuticura Ointment In all. The first
time took six or seven bottles Of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles--neither an expensive or to-
dious treatment. Since then I have
had no scalp trouble OF any Kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, II
comes to my knees and had It not been

wholly bald.

has ever been my pleasure to witness.
1t seemed as though each successive
city was trying to outdo in its welcome
the city we had just left.
The admiralty placed gunboats at our
service in visiting different places of
interest up and down the river. The
Government Agricultural Experiment
Farm was visited and is one of the
instltutlones which marks the beginning

Balance of Trade.
At each place visited there was an
allotted time insisted upon for us to
talk over business conditions and pros
poets Of trade between the two coun-
tries. 1t was generally conceded that
the Americans had not gone after the
business as had other nationalities, par
ticularly the Germans and, later on, the
japanese. This was more or less ex-
planned from the fact that the Amer
leans had met with such prosperity at
home that it was not necessary for
them to compete against lower priced
labor of foreign countries. In my opin
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1910-12-26

ion, under present conditions, the bal.
ance of trade between the two com.
tries will be much in favor of China.
1t is my firm belief that the Chinese
value the friendship of the Americans
more than that of any other nation on
earth. They missed no opportunity Of
expressing their appreciation Of the ae-
tion of the United States in returning
TO them the Boxer indemnity. Against
this expression of good will they right
fully believe that the United States
has done them grave injustice in shut
ting them ont from the Philippine IL
lands. For the past four hundred years
the Chinese from Annoy and Canton
have furnished labor for and establish
ed enterprises in the Philippines, and
are, in my opinion. the only people who
can make it possible for America and
Americans to realize large revenue,
which. without the Chinese, viii be
lost to both peoples.
Respectfully submitted,

At Wachang, across the river from
Hankow, We visited the Boone Univer-
sity conducted by the missionaries on
he principles of military school We
were privileged to see the students in
their neat and attractive uniforms give
a driIl exhibition, in connection with
which they have an excellent band.
Banquets by the Viceroy Of Hupeh
Province at his palace in Wuchang and
by the Hanl1ow Chamber of Commerce
at the Chinese Race Club were events
too elaborate not to mention at this
time. At the chamber of commerce
banquet each member of the party was
presented with a solid gold badge. in
a horseshoe design, with the United
States and Chinese flags crossed. The
names of the ladies in full and the ini-
tials of the gentlemen were engraved
on the bar of each badge.
Missionary Work.
It was at Hankow that we were
brought into close contact with the
work of the missionaries, and | must
confess that my opinion took a decided
change from my former unfavorable
ideas, 10 a great appreciation Of the
work that these people are doing IN
China. The biblical teaching of these
I missionaries is by far the smallest
feature of their work, their time be
ing taken up with the practical educa-
tion of the Chinese students, who will
in turn become valuable teachers Of
modern methods and of what the Chi
npse are most in need of-System.
To turn the tide of thought of the
stupendous population of more than
four. hundred millions is a task that
most of us ordinary mortals would
shirk. but these missionaries are not
only starting, but viii finally succeed
in making the average Chinaman a
man to be envied.
rom idNhUN we were IuIHlSutu
with a special train to Peking, dis
tance of eight hundred miles; guard
of soldiers patrolled the platform at
each station whether the train stopped
or not. The sleeping accommodations
as we'll a. the meals were all that could
be desired, and the eighteen hour trip
was made so that the party arrived in
Peking refreshed and rested, rather
than tired ont. as is generally the case
on long railway journey. 1t was
hard to bring ourselves to believe that
we We're on the ground of the Boxer
troubles of only ten years ago. An
escort of several officers were sent
about two hundred miles down the line
to greet us, and it was at Peking that
we began to realize that the friendly
feeling of the Chinese toward the
United States extended from the low
est coolie to the throne.
Entertainment at Peking.
The principal entertainments at Pc
king included visit to the Great
Wall of China one of the seven won
ders of the world No doubt YOU are
all familiar with its appearance from
the various illustrations you may have
seen. The wall averages twenty five

on top, and IS fifteen hundred miles
long. 1t is III wonderful state of
preservation, a large proportion of the
wall being in perfect condition, not
Wlthstanding that it was bailt 2300
years ago.
Visits were made to the summer and
winter palaces, and also to the sum
mer palace of the late Empress
Dowager, each of which contains a
wonderful collection of antiques in
marble, Jade, wood, porcelain, and
clOis0nne.
The party was also honored by the
Prince Regent graciously giving an
audience to the commissioners at the
palace IN the Forbidden City, al which
time we We're accompanied by United
States Minister Calhoun. After the
audience a grand banquet was given at
the Foreign Office.
After four busy days in Peking the
party took train for Tientsin, which,
on account of its wide streets. espe-
cially in the European section of the
city, is quite different from any other
city III China. There are a number of
well-regulated schools and colleges in
Tientsin, and among others visited
were the Industrial and Polytechnic
Schools and also training school for
nurses, in connection with hospital
for women and children.
Great Coal Mine.
] shall not tire you with going over
the list of banquets and receptions in
Tientsin. A very interesting day was
spent in visiting Tang Shan, which is
eighty miles from Tientsin. Here We
found coal miles. one of which, belong
ing to the Chinese Engineering and
Mining Company, turns out over three
thousand tons of coal per day, besides
their manufactures of tiles and bricks
There are also two large cement works.
We also visited the Tang Shan Engi-
neering College, which institution will
no doubt turn out some very bright
Chinese professionals.
At Tientsin we boarded the China
Merchants Steam Navigation Com
pany 5 steamer Hsin Ming, fine new
vessel IL which we were to make the
trip down the coast to Hongkong, touch
ing at Chefoo for about twelve hours
stay. Foochow about fourteen hours and
Annoy about twelve hours All of these
gave US the same cordial welcome we
had been receiving at the cities pre-
viously visited.
Chefoo has a winery which turns out
a good grade of claret. sauterne and
hook. There are also several silk mills
and we had the pleasure of seeing the
process of silk making from the cocoon
to the financial fabric.
Foochow is large tea center and
exports large amount of Brick Tea.
This is a process of pressing the tea
into cakes. which have the appearance
of cakes of chocolate, and is, | believe,
shipped mostly to Russia.
Growing Sugar Cane.
From Foochow we went to Annoy. in
the vicinity of which ] noticed small
areas of sugar cane. At the present
time they have no modern mills, but
I was informed that the japanese were
figuring on putting in a plant.
Hongkong was not in the itinerary
planned by our hosts, but they furnish,
ed a special steamer, the On Lee. to
take Us from Hongkong to Canton. We
arrived just after dark, and on APP
