BIG ATTENDANCE

 His First.

George B. Hodge, of New York, one of the international educational secretaries of the Y M. c. A., was greeted by another large audience when he repeated his lecture by spe- cial request last night. Mr Hodge arrived here Thursday, and was entertained Thursday afternoon and evening by the management of the local association. after which he so greatly pleased them with a very instructive illustrated lecture that he was prevailed to remain until last night and deliver his same lecture again. His lecture last night was along the same interesting lines of his first, but had many new features, which added greatly to it's value. At the lecture last night one of the larg- est crowds that have ever visited the Merrill Institute building for lec- ture was present, and the audience included many mothers with their sons. MT. Hodge is greatly admired by the local Y. M. C. A. workers, who made his visit to this city most pleas ant. He left last night at midnight for Memphis. where he will lecture tonight and Sunday.

 "You ought to know what it means John," repeated the saloon keeper "It's meaning is the cause of your sus pension"
 "Yes, John," the man resumed: you, suspension is caused by the New Years swear off of that fellow and thousands like him.

Inc Way 1t Was Described by an
 Educated Native.
 c. ]. Phillips. business agent in Uganda of the Church Missionary so- ciety. throws light upon the workings of the native mind by quoting re- markable letter in which native member of the katikiro's (prime minis ters, party gives q description of the Uganda railway.
 My friend. l can tell you the Euro peans have done marvellous thing tc make the railway and the trains. They fasten ten or fifteen houses together and attach them to a fireplace which is as big as an elephant. and the road it goes on is as smooth as the stem of a plantain. It goes as fast as swal- low flying. and everything you see out side fits past you like a spark from fire. If it were to drop off one of the bridges not one in it would be saved. for it goes dreadfully quick. The hills it passes are as high as those of koki and they have bridSed over great val leys which are as deep as that you see when you look from the top of Nami- rembo so deep that you cannot see the bottom when you are going over them.
 Later there follows d description of ship: Ut is as deep as our two sto ried house and as wide as the kings road in Mengo. and it is as long as from the katikiro's fence to the gate of the kings inclosure It has three tall poles in it and big throat. out of which smoke comes. which is as wide as the new drum in the church at Ma mirembo. The rooms in it go down three stories, and the boards of these I cannot describe to you. for such have not been seen before. There is a lot of metal work about them, too. but these also l cannot describe. for it is so fine There are children on board and a flock of sheep and places to wash in attached to every place where a chief sleeps. such as even our king has never possessed" ."-London Strand Magazine.

Little beggars will run beside copper coin with square hole in the middle of it. worth the twentieth of a cent, but children who have parents to care for them seem to be kept in doors all the time or only allowed to play in walled yards and gardens. We used to say to each other: "Why, where are the children7 Haven't they got any?' But at New Years we found out that they had. This Is the great holiday of all the year in China, when everybody hangs out flags and colored lanterns and sets of frecrackers. eve borrowed our custom of nrecrackers fcs the Fourth of July from China s New Year's) All the people put on their best clothes and the children the best of all, jackets and trousers of bright blue or green or yellow or pur- pie, the boys and the girls SO much alike that you can only tell them apart by their hair. The boys of course is braided in a pigtail, and the girls is done up on her head with silver pins or. if she's a very grand little girl, with gold or jade. Thus decked out, the children go walking with their proud papas and mammas and often go to the theater, which is 8 rare treat fC. them.
