ment between pastor and congregation
has come as the result of the Rev. A.
D. Greene of the Manchester Presby-

bout as the guest of A. c. Gumbert,
former sheriff.
The preacher was recognized as he
entered the hall and took seat with
in a few feet of the prize ring. On all
sides were gamblers. pugilists and
sports, yelling and creating a nuproar.
Dr. Greene left the hall as quietly as
he entered after seeing four six round
bouts.
A few days later the story of the
visit to the prize fight became known.
His congregation was astounded. Talk
led to more talk, and as result the
pastor presented his resignation which
was accepted. He attended a football
game Saturday afternoon.

The Cubs won from the Cardinals
Yesterday in one of the funniest games
played this year. The score was and
g. and it wasn't until the last half Of
the ninth that the Cubs grabbed the
winning run.
Everybody thought when the last
chapter started that the game would &C
into extra innings. The wildness OF
King Cole and What's His Name Steele
had made 1t three all at the end of the
second. After this second Steele looked
better than Cole. Both teams hat
chances enough to break 1t up, but
hard luck, and great fielding KEEP
things going until it was almost too
! dark to see.
The Cubs came TO bat IN their nintl
with the count tie. Tom Needham lee
| off with a clean base knock. Cole tried
| two times to sacrifice and finally lais
| down a bunt that resulted in the fore
| ing of Tom at second.

CHINA's MILITARY PROSPECTS
Army of Not Much Account Until
Railways Are Built.
,rom The Chicago Advance.

From the Chicago Advance.
The army of China Is a subject OF a
good deal of interest along now, not tnat
it is formidable. but because OF the I'M
portance. of China as a FACTOR In OH
entail politics, and OF the possipintes
| that lie in the development OF her
military strength. The army Is SAID 70
include. all told, and as 1t now stanos'
between 10000 and 100000 men. MOST
Of them, however, are poorly trained ana
poorly equipped, and ineffective except tor
suppressing uprisings of unarmed ma
tives. They are little better than TIN
soldiers and would be OF no account
whatever in suppressing real repelilon
or In repelling foreign invaders Never
theless then are in China probably l6o,-
UU effective soldiers. trained In mihtaIS
modern rifles and rapid-fire artillery:
They are somewhat intelligent, can reao
and write. and really know sometning OF
modern warfare What IS OF still more
Importance. they are omcered Dy ,,n me-,
who have studied in military colleges
abroad or those in China In which Tor
eign instructors are employed. But even
IL China had an effective army OF a mil
lion men, 1t would be OF no great service
to her under present conditions. To rem
der good service an army must be easily
handled and able to be at the right place
at the right time. This Is impossible now,
owing to the lack Of transportation ia
cilities. The Chinese government now
plans to construct. within the next ten
years. a network Of railways which will
not only develop the country. but also
facilitate the handling Of troops. 1t plans
also to have an effective army OF 4OoWo
men by 1913, and one of 1.1S5.OOO by
1920. Whether all this will be effected
or not remains to be seen.
A curious phase Of the question has de-
veloped within the last few years. This
proposed system of railway building and
army development Is Of course the scheme
of the Manchu dynasty. The plan In
cludes sending students abroad to get a
foreign college education and get In touch
with modern ideas of progress and de-
velopment. and this has been done to a
considerable extent. But when these
young men have been abroad three or
four years, they find themselves. on re-
turning, out OF sympathy with the slow
ways and feeble methods OF the very
government which has educated them.
