THE BIRTH OF A CHINESE
MISSION.
Rev. ). M. PIanchet. c. N.

G SO & 8
The parish of Ouang-Tsing-Touo
has a most interesting history 1t
was founded in 1869 by FIR Chevrier,
the Lazarist missionary who was mar
tyred little later at Tientsin.
1T was convenient for me to stop at
Ouang- Using Touo," he wrote to Mgr
MouIy. This is little town of fif-
teen thousand inhabitants, only fifty
of whom are catechumens. On the
eleventh of January, 1869, celebrated
Holy Mass and preached to my little
congregation on the subject of Chris
tian unity The service being ended
catechisms, prayer-books and medals
were distributed, and went away in
high spirits"
In this precious document we find
the description of the foundation of
the parish in detail; nothing is lack
ing, neither the date nor the name of
the founder, the holy FIR. Chevrier,
Director of Tientsin, then little par
ish of three hundred Christians.
FIR. Chevrier opened a school and
prepared to baptize the families of the
catechumens to whom he referred in
his letter.
Another school had been opened in
the village of Sieulro. One of the
pupils was little boy ten years old,
the son of catechist, and afterwards
prominent in the ranks of the faithful
The schoolmaster at Sieulro fell i'll
and was sent to the hospital at Tient-
sin, where he was nursed by the nuns
Upon his recovery he offered his serv-
ices as catechist to FIR. Chevrier, who
installed him in that new and impor-
tant position.
In June, 1870, Chem 81 Fou, the
schoolmaster, and his little pupil, men,
toned above, came to pass the Sunday
at Tientsin.
The next day he proposed to return
home, but the priest, alarmed at the
rumOrs of the persecution of Christian
children wished to prevent his depart
ure. AS the man desired to join his
family as soon as possible, however, FIR
Chevrier finally consented to allow
him to go.
When they reached the western out
skirts of Tientsin they entered an inn
and ordered breakfast. A group of
men Instantly surrounded them.
Who are your" man asked.
Il am from Sieulro," the schoolmas-
ter answered.
ut Is false" shouted the ruffian
your tongue betrays you. You are a
child-stealer."
Without further proof of his guilt.
Chem 81 Fou was arrested, maltreated
and dragged before the mandarin, his
pupil following. The latter was exs
amined by the sub-prefect, who asked
where he was born.
"At Ouang Using Touo," the lad re-
piled.
Have you father and mother?"
''Yesj my mother is with the nuns
at Tientsin.''
This statement was confirmed later
by the mandarin, so there was nothing
more said. FIR. Chevrier heard rumors
of the persecution of Chenn-Si.Fou and
appealed to the French consul, who
did not interfere, however The sub
project refused to liberate the school
master without the permission of the
Tartar commissioner, the representa-
tive Of the Chinese government.
A regular trial at length was held,
and Ns there was no evidence against

so severely injured that it was neces-
sary to transport him to his home on
litter. F

missionaries, En- Claude and Fr. Vim.
cent, two Sisters of Charity, the French
consul, his secretary and two French
citizens, were massacred by a mob un-
der the eyes of the authorities.
The beautiful church, Our Lady of
Victories, the hospital, the consulate
and the presbytery, were burned to
the ground.
The schoolmaster hid in his bed, but
was discovered and killed. His house
was destroyed also.
These events filled the Chinese con-
verts in the prefecture of Tientsin
with CONSERVATION. At Ouang-T Using
Touo all but one or two families aban-
doned the new faith in a panic of fear.
This was not astonishing, as they were
not fully acquainted with. the prin-
ciples of the Catholic religion. Not
one had received baptism
The boy of ten, of, whom we have
already spoken, had been stolen by the
raiders during the general excitement.
But two or three months later the
place of his concealment was discov-
cred and his father succeeded in re-
claiming him.
This little lad seemed destined by
Providence to be the seed of the
Church in Using -Touo. He al
ways kept the Faith, became the head
of the Christians of his day, and his
descendants showed the same zeal in
time of persecution.
During the terrible trouble of 1900,
the poor mission of Ouang-Tsin-T ouo
was called on to pay another tribute,
this time offering to God true con-
lessor of the Faith in the person of
Paul Tcheng, the nephew of Tcheng-
Min-Te, the boy referred to above
Paul Tcheng endured unspeakable
torture before death finally ended his
sufferings. First, hung by his thumbs
for the sport of the Boxers, he spent
the moments in avowing that he was
a Christian and would always remain
one. Then the Boxers formed in pro-
cession; in their midst was the martyr,
led by cord and with a signboard
bound to his hands showing his offense.
A long distance was thus traversed,
the victim receiving sabre blows from
time to time that injured but did not
kill him.
Arrived at the blacedof execution,
each of the sixty-four Boxers struck
him with his sword AS he still lived,
a bullet was discharged into the man
gled body and Paul Tcheng's soul was
released. The corpse was left to be
devoured by animals, but a peasant
living near, finding it offensive, gave
it hasty burial. Later. when the
Christians wished to place the martyrs
remains in a more worthy resting
place they found only the head and a
few bones. W
The only son of the martyr escaped
what seemed to be certain death. Con-
cealed with his sisters in the house of
friendly family, this child OF I'VE
years, was wrapped in a cover-lid and
hidden by his mother between bureau
and wall.
Half stified, he remained in this hid
ing place all day, while the maraud-
ers passed and repassed through the
room. Young as he was, he realized
his danger and crouched motionless in
his retreat. bravely sitting his s0bs
Such precocity and heroism was I'M
usual, and the child was the object of
profound Interest 70 his Christian res.

cELIRAcY IN THE MINISTRY.

Celibacy in the ministry of the
Church is highly lauded ny Congre-
gational clergyman, Rev. J.. Shepherd,
of Mirfeld (England), who in his par
ish magazine asks and answers as
quoted by the Tablet:
How many ministers deny them
selves the comforts of home, for the
sake of One Who had not where to lay
His head? Many ministers, instead of
forsaking a home. endeavor to improve
their social and financial position by
marrying rich women. One would
have thought if a minister is not

IRON COUNTY.S
SALT DEPOSITS
Important Undeveloped Resource In
the Parowan Valley Awaits
the Touch of Capital.

While in Parowan the present week
the editor of The Record was shown
quantity of the salt gathered the
present summer from the little Salt
Lake in the Parowan valley, and a
specimen of this salt is now on dis
play in our show window. To a great
many people it will be a matter of sur
prise as well as congratulation that
we have a large supply of salt Of
this quality, which is in every re-
spect equal to the Great Salt Lake
product, located right here in our
own county.
So far as we are informed, these
deposits have never been located or
improved in any way. In favorable
seasons, when there is an unusually
hot dry spell, producing great evap-
Grafton. the residents Of Parowan
have driven down to the lake shore
and shoveled up as much Of the white
glistening salt as their needs required
and that is as much attention as has
ever been paid to the matter. With
proper facilities for evaporation there
is no reason why an abundance of salt
to supply the southern counties Of
the state could not be gathered here.
The product is in the form of small
cubes, varying in size from that Of
ordinary shot to perhaps a quarter
inch squares. 1t is excellent for cat
tie and sheep in its present form, ex-
cept that boxes or other receptacles
are required in feeding it. For ia
BILE use it requires grinding, while for
the freezing Of ice cream and other
coarse salt purposes it is ideal.
We cannot understand why COM
pany has not been formed long ago
to handle this enterprise, and stop
one more of the drains that divest this
part of the country of the cash that
is needed so badly for the develop
ment Of the many resources.

WORLDS GREATEST ATH-
LETE is AT HOME HERE.

II is matter of congratulation and
pride to the people of Parowan that
Alma Richards, the world-renowned
athlete who won first place in the all
around events at the San Francisco
games recently, is Parowan product.
Mr.. Richards returned from Califor-
MIA the first of the week and is spend
ing few days with his parents and
other relatives here.
It is needless to say that Parowan
is proud Of her husky son, who by
his determination and persistence,
aided by good natural physique and
proper living has brought world re-
nown to his family, his town, county
and state.
Readers of the newspapers will have
noted that Alma did not secure place
in the high jump this year and may
have concluded that he was losing
this accomplishment, but this would be
a sad mistake. There is scarcely a
question but that "Pat" could have
taken first place in this event, as u.s.
ual, had he desired to do so. But
this was not his purpose. He was
out for the all-around championship
which he captured, and did not wish
to interfere with his chances of win
ming by unduly exerting himself in
the high jump. He therefore yolun.
tarialy withdrew when the stick got
above six feet.
Mr.. Richards has not yet fully de-
cided whether he will accept position
as coach for the B. Y. u. at Prove
this year, or whether he will return
to Cornell and take out his degree

COOP. BEGINS WORK ON
NEW STORE BUILDING,

Excavating will begin now any day
for the Co-op's splendid new business
block that will be erected the present
season on the company's ground just
south Of the old building. Teams and
men have been busy for several days
past removing the old adobe shop and
other distractions, and from now on
work will be pushed with all possible
vigor. Manager Day states that he
expeces that they will be doing bust
ness in the new store by the end Of
November.
An order has been placed for up
wards of $4,000 worth of special new
fixtures, made to order to accommodate
conditions in the new block, and wehe
completed and equipped this should
rank high among the best stores of
the southern portion of the state.
The dimensions will be 65 #. 6 in,
by 70 fl. 4 in, and will consist of one
floor and a good cement basement.
1t will have an elegant plate glass
front and will be modern in every par
ticular. The management is to be
commended upon its enterprise.

New Tabernacle Needed.

1t is time that the people of Paro-
wan began to considtr the matter of
the erection of new tabernacle
The old building is beginning to look
old and dilapidated, and is not large
enough to accommodate the people at
conference time and other general
gatherings. It is too bad that we
could not have had better building
for the Homecoming week, but this
is of course out of the question. How
ever, we should begin to shaping our
affairs so that new building can be
undertaken in the early future.
With so many neat residences going
up in Parowan during the past few
years and the handsome new library
building on the same block, the old
tabernacle is beginning to look as il
it were ashamed of itself, and many
of the people are feeling the same
way.
A new tabernacle cannot be buided
in day and possibly not in year
but the matter ought to be considered
and gotten under way as early as pos.
sible.

Mr. Day was shearing his Lincoln
rams he received wire and subse-

editor of the National Wool Grower,
who was sufficiently interested to
make the journey in order to see this
extremely fine clip removed. He stat

with the finest Australian wool and
was worth 35 cents per pound on the

SUBMITTED AMENDMENTS

Every time constitutional amendment is proposed in
the state legislature the stock argument used for 1t is tna
it should passed by the Legislature that the people
may chance to vote on it, and the STOCK argu
ent against it is that the legislature is RESPONSE
BILE for what amendments submitted to the people,
and therefore the Legislature should not submit an
amendment to the people unless majority or the law
makers themselves approve it. There is justice IN both
contentious and yet by inconsistency the leg
slaure will approve foolish amendment in order to
oratifv someone's hobby and will! fail to approve
other amendment which state issue because the legis
lators wish to interpose their personal opinions
Of the latter class is the womans suffrage amend
ment Womans SURFACE is issue in this state, ano
one on which every voter has more or less settled op
on Just what that opinion is no legislator is IN posi-
ton to because the question has not been tried ou
When large body of representative citizens be-
fore the LEGISLATURE and ask that such question be re-
frred to the people, it is little of pesumptcus for
the LEGISLATORS nterpose their personal opinions and pre-
vent the people from expressing their opinion for or
against such amendment.
On the other hand there amendments proposed to
the legislature which unmportant and even frivolous
There IS no public interest whether they rejected
annroved for the subject with which they deal has not
been made an enough issue to start the dis
cusson upon which the ordinary man must depend for his
Guidance Such amendments these are the very ones
which is the peculiar duty of the legislator to examine
carefully and approve disapprove the chosen repre-
sentative of the people. Yet it is this very class of
amendments which the legislator is most likely to
ltradipq sock'rand give them his thoughtless ap-
brova That is the why the amendment ballot is
always cuttered up with lot of useless amendments for
which the great majority of people do not care enough
to inform themselves them
There should not be than two three amend
ents submitted the people at election and these
amendments should be those in which the people are
really interested. The unimportant ones in which the
voters are not interested should not be submitted at
all.
Instead pursuing this sensible the Legislature
loads down the amendment ballot with digested and
unmportant provisions which the citizen will not
the study up and then refuses to place on the
ballot such an amendment womans suffrage the final
decision which with the people and not with their
representatives.
