IMPROVING MORALS IN CHINA
Influence of Christian Teachings
Shown in the Changed Condi-
tions Found There.

1.-THE public conscience is now be-
ing awakened upon this aspect of pub
lie morality. Last week ] was in
vited to take part in meeting or
ganized by men who are not directly
connected with any Christian church,
but who are sincerely DESTROYS of as
sisting in the reformation of their
countrymen. Their purpose was to
start an antigambling league, and
with this in mind they called public
meeting, which was attended by some
hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation were asked to assist in the
meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility of
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese, and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
CuuNdllO.l Inspectors lOl LLS plONAhSNo
of KIangsu and Kiangsi A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave violin
solo, Il Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two cornet solos, and Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering. The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that it
vas scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years, ago such a
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we
have a class of public moralists arising
who have undoubtedly learned from
Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are DESTROYS of impressing
upon their countrymen."

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and Wilderness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, 1t is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces Of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light BAN
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective

She Lives in Bingville.

A south Missouri paper is carrying
this ad.: Attractive woman, not day
over thirty, would be pleased to CORE
spond with eligible man. Not abso-
lutely necessary that he should be
young. Would prefer one with prop
erty, but one with good paying posi-
ton would be satisfactory. The young
lady is of medium height, has brown
hair and gray eyes, not fat, although,
most decidedly, she is not skinny.
Her friends say she is fine looking
woman. Object matrimony. Reason
for this advertisement, the young
woman lives in little dinky town,
where the best catches are the boys

and clothing stores, and every one of
them is spoken for by the time he
is out of his short pants. Address

VERMONT QUIT WORK.
THOUSANDS OF MEN EFFECTED
Company's Shops Forced to Close
Unions Have Backing of a
Million Dollars-officials
Are Unyielding.

Montreal.-Conducto and Train
men of the Grand Trunk and Central
Vermont railways obeyed an automat-
ic strike order at $3.50 o'clock tonight
On Sunday when the members of the
strike committee left here each man
carried a sealed envelope to be open
ed at that hour calling a strike unless
telegram had previously been receiv-
ed which, upon comparison with a
copy enclosed in the envelope, stated
otherwise.
No such telegram was sent and so
the strike became effective at $780,
Under the terms of the strike order
trains which began their runs before
$3.50 are to be taken through to the
terminal by the men in charge. After
that the company is expected to look
after its own interests.
Grand Trunk officials tonight issued
statement in part as follows:
"Messrs. Berry and Murdoch, with a
committee representing the Grand
Trunk trainmen and yardmen, met in
the offices of the company this morn
ing and advised that they had receiv-
ed the authority of large majority
of our trainmen to order a strike in
event a settlement was not reached
with the company.
"a general discussion of the situa-
ton took place, during which we ad-
vised them we were not in a position
to do more than had been offered in
our former proposition giving the men
an increase of approximately 10 per
cent, with the further promise that
they should be given the same stand
ard rate of pay as the Canadian as
soon as the Grand Trunk, through it's
relation with the Grand Trunk Pacific,
is in a position to participate in the
higher rates obtaining on traffic in
the Northwest by reason of the COM
pletion of that road and the obtaining
of through rail connections between
the Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk
Pacific, which should be accomplished
within two years.
Say Many viii Not Strike.
Should a strike be ordered, we feel
confident that it will be found that
many Of the employees of the train SER
vice will disregard the strike order,
and who will continue service with
the company. We have a large nun--
Der of applications of parties desiring
employment, and shall also recruit
largely from our own service in other
departments.
I'm the meantime we shall make eff
fective the rules and rates of pay of
fered the employees. Pending settle
ment of matters all shops on the sys-
TEN will be closed"
To this President Hayes added:
Eve have done the best we can. We
have offered substantial increase in
wages. For instance, we gave conduc-
tors between Montreal and Portland an
increase from $110 to $135, between
Montreal and Brookville from $50 to
$40 month, between Montreal and
Toronto from $40 to $140, and bag
gagemen from $40 to $S5, and brake
men from $55 and $50 to $50.

For Councilman.
To the editor of the Gate CITY.

To the editor of the Gate City:
Other names have been mentioned
as proper and fit men as councilmen
under the commission plan soon to
come into vogue. I ask your leave to
give the name OF most excellent fell
low citizen. 1t is Frank T. F. Schmidt,
who has been citizen for over 40
years. Mr., Schmidt is a German by
birth, and is every inch a gentleman,
a man of honor and conscience and
splendid ability He would spare no
pains or trouble to do what was right
and proper and necessary for the gen.
eral welfare. Mr.. Schmidt is man
of sound, mature Judgment, clear head
ed, and would arrive at conclusion
carefully, thoughtfully; would act con-
scientiously and courageously when
necessary. If elected as one of the
councilmen, his whole life and consci-
ence and very soul would be put into
his work. He would do all in his
power to know his duty and then
would do it no matter what the con-
sequences might be.
Mr. Schmidt is one of those men
who would offend the dearest friend
rather than do the public wrong.
The good or bad opinion, or the good
or bad will of either friend or foe
would count for nothing when it came
to doing his public duty. The people
who know MIR. Schmidt the best
trust him the most implicitly
He would be valuable man
to the community on accoun,
of his moral and mental makeup He
would be thoughtful and considerate
would look ahead, would weigh mat
tiers carefully and would serve the en-
tire people and his value and service
would be limited OILY by human
strength. Mr.. Schmidt will not resort
to sensations or brass bands to let
the people know his worth and fit
ness, but by all odds he is one of those
| men the city cannot afford to over
look in making choice. The city
would be the gamer, rather than Mr..
! Schmidt. VOTER

What RurIinaton Saws.

Word from Burlington today, re-
garding the meeting of the CONNER
cial exchange with the railroad Of
ficials and of the wants of the upriver
city, in regard to better railroad SER
vice, says.
Superintendent S. NJ Russell and
General Passenger Agent G. w Win
tiers of the t., P. & w railroad of Pc
oria are present today at the luncheon
of the Commercial exchange for the
purpose of considering the request OF
the Burlington merchants for better
train service in and out of Burlinf
ton.
Burlington's petition to the T., P &
w. is for the establishment OF two pas
sengers daily on the branch between
Burlington and La Harpe AT the
present time only a freight train is OPP
Grated, which is very unreliable and
the running time is such that no pas
senger business is possible.
There is practically no passenger
service at present on the T., P. Il w.
out of Burlington The statesmen for
the wholesale houses, who visit the
towns along the line take 'le Burning
ton to Carman and drive to La Harpe,
where they catch the main line trains
of the t., P. & w. This necessitates
in years time the payment OF over
I $500 in livery hire, which would be I'M
necessary if passenger trains were OPP
Grated between Burlington and La
Harpe., AS it is impossible to get TO
the points on this line, so 1t is impos-
sible for the people of that territory
to come to Burlington to shop. The
residents of the T., P. & w towns
are compelled to go to Keokuk, al
though preferring Burlington, as the
stores here offer much larger as
sortment of goods at better prices.
4 The Burlington merchants want them
to come and are making this effort
to establish the service.
Today the Burlington merchants
have an opportunity of presenting
their case and will also have an op'
portunity of hearing the railroads side
1t is likely that some arrangement can
/ be made by which it will be to the
