 A Carnegie of China.
 In this connection, a bright woman clerk of the mission book store of Shanghai, said to me today:
 What China needs more than any thing else is system of circulating liz braries which shall contain the simpler books of our modern literature, includ- ing the scriptures, concordances and the western classics These people are pln- ing for the new learning; but they arc unspeakably poor and cannot afford to buy books. The Chinese women want them. In every community clubs are al- ready established, where the women come together once a week or daily to gossip and talk. If they could have such such books they would be read aloud at these meetings and great educa- tional movement might thus be institut- ed As to the Chinese translations, they are cheap. The concordance of the scriptures costs less than 20 cents gold. and there are few books of any kind that sell as high as dollar"
 cite this conversation as sugges- tion for some rich American who would like to be known as the Carnegie of China.
 New Chinese Literature.
 The inauguration of the new school system. and the new civilization is bring ing in translations of the most popular books of the western world. Today two hundred and twenty-one novels, origin ally written in English, French or Ger man are in circulation. They have been translated into Chinese, and the demand for them is increasing. In one year fifty-seven such novels were issued They included translations of "Uncle Toms Cabin" Jules Vernes Voyage to the Moon and Charles Lambs ''Tales From Shakespeare" One of the most popular of the new issues is Conan Doyle's Me moirs of Sherlock J. Holmes," and an- other is 'Robinson Crusoe." Among translations from the French are Les

GentIeness, Kindness.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 Edward Ginn, wealthy Boston busi-' ness man, proposes to establish an inter national school of peace. His idea is to inculcate gentleness and kindness and to discourage everything that tends to fos- ter the spirit of combativeness. He pro- poses that the histories in use in the schools. colleges and universities shall be rewritten. He would minimize the wars and the exploits of warriors. He would emphasize the victories of peace He would make as attractive as tact would warrant the blessings that have come to humanity where there was no tnterna- tional strife
 The idea he offers is worthy of serious consideration. There is no doubt that our histories emphasize the exploits of the warriors of all ages. War is held up as among the great events of history. The generals and great fighters are portrayed as heroes. The result is to arouse a mar tial spirit that should have no place in this age. No one would ignore what has been accomplished by the armies and fighters of the past. But there Is much in history besides recital of military engagements. He would bring out the points that now are overshadowed- And probably his plan would do much good.
 Along the same line of reform. is not 1t about time to quit extolling the men who have gone into the cities and accumulated great wealthf For every one who has be- come a captain of industry, there are whole regiments who are fighting in the ranks for a bare existence. Why not i'm press upon the youth of the land that there Is opportunity on every hand; that the boy who stays on the land and works 1t intelligently has a greater chance for succession of a more satisfactory and substantial kind than is likely to fan to the lot of the man who rushes to the city to emulate the idols of fiction and history.

r1aking Chinese Text Books


Miserables" and "Manon Lescaut," and the most popular English stories are 'Tvanhoe'' and other novels of Sir Wal ter Scott. These works are published on cheap paper; they are sold by booksellers in the various cities, some bringing as lit tle as 20 cents apiece. Ono of the recent translations of this nation sold to the ex- tent of 100000 copies. and that within a year; another had circulation of 1SS, 900 copies within IS months.
 In addition to novels, some heavy works, such as Darwin's Origin of Spe- cies,' Spencer's Evolution" and Min's Essay on Liberty" are being published demand for treaties on politics and par liamentary law.
 Dr, c. D. Tenny, formerly head of the Chinese University at Tientsin, and now the Chinese secretary of our legation at Pekin, has published number of school books which are in general use, includ- ing readers, primers and seographies, and MT Wylie of the London mission has pre- pared a complete series of text books and mathematics in the Chinese for the Jap anese translators.
 tions come from the Japanese. The writ ten languages of Japan and China are somewhat similar, and the Japanese scholar learns quickly to speak. read and write the Chinese. In the Commercial Press editorial room large number of Japanese men are employed as transia- tors, and find Japanese teachers in all the Chinese educational centers. Much of the new school furniture has been made in Japan, and a large number of tho modern maps and charts.

made by the missionaries. One of the largest presses of the far east is that of the Presbyterian mission at Shanghai, an- Methodists. and there are few of other denominations.
 The only large secular publishing house which has yet been organized to take ad- vantage of new conditions is the Commer- cial Press of this city. It was established little more than ten years ago, with a paid-up capital of three-quarters of a mil lion dollars in silver. It has since grown until it now has plant covering acres and humming with modern machinery.
 I went out to see the establishment last week. It lies within two miles or so of Shanghai proper, on the other side of Hongkew creek. On my way to 1t drove denees, with wide porticos and galleries about them, by many stores occupied by Chinese, by schools and colleges run by the missionaries, and on out into the country. I was accompanied by one of the managers, and, with him, went through the various branches of the es- ldDllSlfIeHl-
 The Commercial Press is making every thing, from Kindergarten lesson books to English-Chinese dictionaries, geographies and books of mining engineering. It has a large lithographing plant where a dozen presses are turning out school books In colors. In one room they were printing calendar for the coming year, using 12 different colors, and in another making cards of many coiors, depicting plants and animals for teaching the Chinese babies. Much of the printing was done from stones, but there were also large etching and half-tone plants with complete photographic appliances. In one well lighted department I found dozen Japanese artists working away and in another was shown machines for reducing drawings to any scale. Some of the en- gravers were cutting out copper plates for new national currency, and others were etching out plates for school book illustrations. I spent some time watch ing them printing bank notes. The lith- ographic stones were placed on the presses and the various colors applied in succession. giving sufficient time be- tween the different impressions for the ink to dry. Where many colors were re- qured the sheets were passed on from press to press, separate stone being used for each color. This was to avoid wasting time in changing ink. one set of presses being equipped with red, an-

 Shanghai. NNE of the problems which China is
 facing is the making of text
 books. A public school system is being established all oyer the empire. , Academies. colleges and universities are being organized and books are needed for teaching the new learning. When the system is in full sway millions of vol umes will be required, and at present there Is practically nothing on hand. The old text books describe the earth as flat with China covering the most of its sur face, and the other countries skirting the edges. The chief studies of the past were the reading and writing Chinese, and the committing to memory the sayings of Confucius and Mencius Today the na- tion wants one scheme of modern educa- tion. The government has resolved that 1t shall have it, and a compulsory sys- tenn of schooling is to be generally estab- 1ished. Suppose that tomorrow our Pres 1dent and Congress should enact laws yiping out our public schools, replacing fAcm with others vitally different, with anNsntirs new list of books. That is the situation in China today
 Books for Four Hundred Millions.
 China moreover, has four times as many people as the United States. Its children of school age are more than 100,- o00,000. and In the new scheme the grown ups as well as the babies are anxious to learn. There are kindergarten and pri- mary departments for the little ones. there are night schools for civil officials, military schools for the army, and law schools for the would-be statesmen. All these are under way and there are no books to feed them. The situation is one of, the strangest in history, It has no counterpart in the past and will probably have none in tho future.
 In the meantime books are being im- ported from a half dozen different countries The great school book pub- fishing houses of Great Britain, the United States and Japan are studying the field and are shipping in translations of text books of one kind and another. The Maomillans of London and New York have published some. the American Book company and Ginn of the United States l. othors; and as for the Japanese they are pirating the school books of other na- lions end sending them here by the tom

TESTIFY KEARNEY
INJURED MENTA ALLY
DOCTORS SAY FALL FROM
TRAIN AFFECTED HIS MIND
Important Testimony in Big Damage
Suit-Doctors Garfield and Best
Says Defendant Will Become In
sane-Dr. Smith Agrees That Mind
Was Impaired.

That Clarence Kearney was injured
mentally as we'll as physically when
he fell from the o. r. & n. train in
the local yards on the morning of
May 2S, 1909, was the testimony of
three witnesses on the stand this
morning. This is the most sensa-
tional and important testimony vet
brought out in the trial of the big
damage suit.
To make the evidence stronger for
the plaintiff two of the physicians
who thus testified were members of
the medical commission which had
been appointed by the court at the
instance of the attorneys for the rail-
road company. Khey were DIR. H. S.
Garfield and DR.. ]. \. Best. The
other physician was DIR. C. ]. Smith.
state senator from this county.
While the three men did not agree
as to the minute details of the pres
ent condition of the injured man and
as to the results which would fol-
low, they did agree that his mind had
been permanently affected by the f.
and that he would continue to grow
worse. Drs. Garfield and Best both
said that the mans mind was now
visibly affected and that insanity
would eventually result. DR.. Smith
did not say that he was now insane
or that he would be but he did saw
that though the man was now but 4S
years of age that approximately Il
years had been added to his mentality
by the fall and the injuries thereby
sustained.
The attorneys for the plaintiff are
about to bring their case to a close
and it is probable that the introduc-
tion of testimony on behalf of the
railroad company will start late this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.
The case is being just as fiercely
contested on both sides as It has been
at any time during the course of the
trial and the testimony of the wit
nesses is being listened to with a great
deal Of interest by a large number of
spectators. The plaintiff was not
present this morning for the first
time since the trial started.

Kansas City, Apr. 22.-Pearle Keller
Colonel Swope's nurse, whose testi-
mony is strongly for the prosecution
in the DIR. Hyde murder trial contin-
ued on the witness stand today. After
finishing the direct testimony she
was severely cross-examined by at
torneys for the defense but her story
was apparently unshaken.
Miss Kellar described in detail the
death thrOes of Colonel Swope. She
denied that she previously had given
Swope strychnine as a tonic.
Undertaken Oft proved a good wit
ness for the defense, his testimony
contradicting that of Miss Kellar in
two important details. He said the
water used in washing the arm of
Col. Hunton had been poured into
jar with the blood that was let from
Hunton's arm by Dr. Hyde, and that
that liquid might have been the blood
which Miss Kellar testified measured
two quarts. He also said DR.. Twy-
man held the threads that closed the
vein and by rTlling them at any
time he could have closed it.

DETECTIVE BILL
CASE IS APPEALED
WILL BE ARGUED BEFORE
SUPREME COURT IN MAY
Attorneys for Plaintiffs Allegc Cir
cult Court Erred in Its Decision
Which Upheld County Court in
Paying Services of "Blind Pig De-
tcctivc

1t seems that the famous detective
bill case was not ended last Decem-
Der when Judge Bean, rendered a de-
cision upholding the county court
in the payment of the bill for the
services of the detective who secur-
ed the wholesale list of indictments
for violation of the local option law
in the fall of 1908. The case has
been appealed and will be argued be-
fore the supreme court of the state
when that tribunal meets in this city
next month.
The case started as an injunction
suit when Charles Cunningham and
A. f. Michael appeared as plaintiffs
in suit to enjoin the court from the
payment Of a bill of $356.95, the to-
tai expense incurred i'm the employ
ment of the detective. The proceeds
of the fines as the result of his in
vstigations netted the county ap-
proximately $1,000.
The suit was first instituted in Jan
uary, 1909, and the final decision of
Judge Bean was rendered in Decem-
Der of that year. Bean upheld the
contentious of the district attorney
that the county had power to employ
detective, that it was literally fore
ed to employ detective to secure an
enforcement of the law and that the
requirements of the law were COM
piled with.
In making their appeal the attor-
neys for the plaintiffs allege that the
circuit court erred when IL held that
the detective was regularly and le-
gally employed, that the county court
acted regularly in attempting to pay
the expense bill that the Indebtedness
incurred was not voluntary and that
the county court had authority to pay
the bill. 1t is therefore alleged also
that the circuit court erred in rem
dering the decision in favor of the
defense.
The action of the supreme court in
the matter will be final.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT
ROBBERY A FAILURE

Dayton, Wash, April 22.-Details
Of bold attempt at robbery were re-
lated here yesterday by Mrs. H. C.
Hutchinson, who lives two miles west
OF Dayton near the o. r. & y. rail-
road. Returning to the Hutchin home
at ten O'Clock Tuesday night from a
visit with neighbors, Mrs. Van Ulra-
con Of Newburg, Ore, who is visiting
with the Hutchinsons found her course
obstructed by man standing near
the doorway. When the woman at
tempted to pass he started to strike
OF grapple with her but she scream
de, bringing Mr.. Hutchinson to the
door with gun.
As the man, who wore a slouch hat
and i'll fitting clothes, fled, Mr. Hut
crimson shot at him but missed.
Weakened by recent illness Mr.. Hut
crimson could not pursue. Robbery
is thought to be the motive of the
man, since Mrs. Ulracon had that day
received a postoffice order from New
burg. Officers here are working on
the case but it is probable the robber
caught a freight train to Walla

en- a chance to try out the More
Daylight" plan if they desire to do
so.
Owing to the complaint that the
changing of the clocks would work
considerable confusion, Mr.. Cohen has
left that feature out of the plan. So
under the plan the clocks will remain
the same, but work is to be started
one hour earlier of mornings and is
to cease one hour earlier in the eve
ming.
1t is the idea of those behind the
present move not to undertake the
scheme unless the plan is generally
endorsed by the local manufacturing
plants and by business men. 1t is ar
gued that the result would be unsat-
isfactory IL some stores opened an
hour earlier each day and closed an
hour earlier, while others followed
the present hours.
If you want to utilize more daylight
and have more time for recreation in
the evening join the move.
