REV. GAMBLE MAKES ADDRESS ON COREA Missionary Speaks at First
 Methodist PEOPLE LIKE CHINESE Most Peculiar Characteristic Is 1ne;r Conservatism, as They Never Think of Making Change
 in Customs
PEOPLE LIKE CHINESE

i Rev. Foster K. Gamble who has for the past two years been in the mission- aiy field in Corea, filed the pulpit at the First Methodist church last even ing. He spoke to the audience on Tho Manners and Customs of the Coreans. On account of the inclemency of tho eather the audience was small but those who were present left with tho feeling that they had been benefited both spiritually and intellectually.
 Rev. Gamble first fixed the geographi- cal position of Corea in the minds of his 1 listeners. He then described the cli- mate which he said was delightful through the year. with the exception of snort time known as the rainy sea son.
 l "The Coreans," he further said, re semble the Chinese in appearance more than they do the Japanese. They do not like to be considered as relatives of the Japanese but are not averse to being set down as first cousins of the Chinese. Their language is different to that spoken in China but their meth od of writing is the same"
 The people. he said, were mostly farmers, but few were merchants. Their main food is rice, though dried fish persimmons and fruits Of all kinds are often found on their tables.
 "One peculiar thing about the Co., reans," said Rev. Gamble, lis they never think of changing their stylets. For in- stance, the women have been wear ing the samo kind of headgear for the last three centuries. The men wear clothes made of cotton cloth, padded with cotton during the winter. Their shoes are made of hemp and in such way they can be asily removed at all times to conform with the customs Their hats are made of horsehair and are very light. As a people the Coreans are kind, generous and hospitale. A very noticeable trait is their curiosity. They examine minutely everything that is new to them.
 Rev. Gamble dwelt on the religion of the people which he said was known in their language as Devil Worship They consider the evil spirits to be in every inanimate object. Their constant effort is to make peace with those evil spirits.
 Finally he spoke of the customs of the people. The worst of these he said was that of allowing the young peo- ple to marry at such early ages. It was not infrequent, he said, for the boy and girl to be married when neither was more than F years old. As closing statement he said that the spreading of Christianity in the country had done much towards stopping this practice. Rev. Gambles home is in Jasper and he has been supported in the Corean field by the churches in the Jasper dis trict. He expects to return to his field of labor in the near future

Santander, Spain. June 1S-The steamer Ypiranga with Gen. Porfro Diaz, eX- president of Mexico, aboard. sailed to- night for Plymouth. Several tugs flying the Mexican colors and crowded with cheering people, escorted the steamer for several miles General Diaz said the friendly demonstrations at Spanish ports had comforted him greatly in his bitter exile.
 On the voyage from Gijon to Santender General Diaz consented to talk. Asked If he intended to take up his residence in Spain he said
 Ut is quite possible that after a few months rest I shall turn my steps to the peninsula. I speak only Spanish and am too old to begin the study of for eign languages. However nothing has yet been decided. I shall make up my mind in Paris. where Iago direct from Havre"
 Incidentally, a member of General Diazs suite sail the principal reason for the visit to Paris was to consult specialist with refernce to the abscess from which General Diaz still suffers greatly.
 Although reluctant to talk of Mexico General Diaz finally made this statement
 "I abandoned power when 1 became convinced that nothing but war lasting at least a year would put down the revo- lutlou l wished to prevent the spilling of the blood of the children of my coun- try in the fratrcidal struggle and above all to avoid the possibility of an inter- national conflict. or even representations from foreign powers.

 General Diaz was given a splendid re ception at Santander. Captain Genera
