BY All Means Break 1t!

A lady correspondent asks US to ex-
press our opinion concerning the fol-
lowing chain letter, which she say has
been sent to her several times within
recent years:
GAN ANCIENT PRAYER.
$50 Lord Jesus, implore thee to de-
liver all mankink from all evil, and take
me to dwell with thee eternally.' This
prayer was sent to me, and it is to be
sent all over the world. Copy it and
send it to nine frieds. Sign no name
and see what it will bring to you. 1t
was said in Jesus time that all who
wrote this prayer would be delivered
from jail calamity, but that those who
fail to send it would suffer misfortune.
Begin the day you receive this, and for
nine days copy it and send it to some
one In nine days you will receive
some great joy. Do not break the
Chain.
This letter is palapable fraud. II
states what there is every reason to
believe is not true, namely: that it ex-
listed while our Lord was on earth. II
appeals to superstition and credulity,
and threatens calamity in a most un.
warranted and Objectionable manner.
In commenting upon this prayer a cou-
pie of years ago, DIR. j. M. Buckley
the distinguished Editor of the New
York Christian Advocate, affirmed that
he believed it was composed by an in
sane person. At one time it was al
legged to have been written by BISHOP
Lawrence, of Massachusetts, ian Epis
copalian), but he denied it. But what
ever its origin, it's circulation is hurtfu
rather than helpful, and Christian pee
pie should not encourage tn. U

IMPERIAL SOLDIERS
DECLARE FOR REPUBLIC
1000 Troops Mutiny-May
Not Affect Peace eNe-
gotiatiOnS

PICKING, Jan. S.--Tbe imperial gov
eminent troops stationed at Chin Wang
Tao, the treaty port on the Gulf of Lao
Tang, who number about 1900, have no
titled the foreign legations in Peking
that they desire the formation of re-
public They are acting in cooperation
with the imperial government troops sta
toned at Lanchow, who were yesterday
reported to have declared in favor of
republic, and to have elected Wang
VIE TIE their leader, at the same time
declaring their intention of marching
on Picking.
In government circles the incident is
not considered likely to affect the
progress of the negotiations between the
imperial government and the rebels.
Outside of Picking, Lanchow and Chin
Wang Tao are the two principal milf
tary centers. The imperial troops sta
toned there are divided into two cate
gories, Manchu and Chinese. and it is
only the Chinese soldiers who have be-
come rebelious. Their action in declar-
ing for a republic, has, however, caused
considerable anxiety to the court, as
it was thought that the Chinese troops
also would remain loyal.
The complications brought about by
their mutiny are the more disturbing
to the court because the empress dow
ager in handing over 100000 from her
private treasury to Premier Yuan Shi
Kai. relied on these troops to march,
together with the Manchus. against the
revolutionists In the south and to crush
the rebellion.
The position now is that the premier,
Yuan Shi Kai a Chinese, and the Man
chu commanders with Manchu troops are
supporting the court and the Manchu
princes against trained Chinese troops
in the north and republicans elated by
their success in the south
