CHINESE EXPERIENCES.
Related by Former Derby ,Man-Not
Aitoseyther Complimentary to &C.
IestiaIs.

Edward OBrien of South NorwaIk.
VINO Formerly lived in Derby and who
mas seen visiting in that city after
just getting home from China told
Scne of his experiences and obserya-
EvnS IN that country to an Ansonia
Sentinel reporter. He was located at
IIankow, in the province of Hu-Peh
about 200 miles up the Yangtze- kiang
fic was in the employ Of a British
American tobacco company, controil-
~ BY American capital that is night
Ing for the control Of the tobacco
business i'll the awakening China. Mr..
O'Brien has not very high opinion
of the Chinese. whether the particu-
lar Chinese under observation belongs
TO the Mandarin or tire coolie class.
They differ largely he found through
the fact that the former were educat-
ed, and therefore a little mere slick
in doing business, but not any higher
morally. The Chinanlfens desire
seems To be to make something off
the other fellow, and he VIII make it
s0rmised from this that Mr.. O'Brien
does not think there is very much
hope OF China amounting to much.
and he SAYS he has formed his opinion
from what travelling mon who have
been all over the country have to say
aocut the present conditions and the
way they accept the teachings that
missionaries take TO them. They are
more on The make than on improve
nent morally. mentally or physically.
