KE HAS PRETTY GIRLS FOR HIS
TEACHERS.
ticenos in the Chiri*oo Laundry Schools
of New York—The Heathen Have a
Good Time and Learn Many Useful
Thing*.
New York, Dec. 3.—There are about
thirty Chinese Sunday schools in a more or
less flourishing condition in the city of New
York at present. They have been written
up from every point of view but one.
That is. however, the most interesting of
them all. It is in relation to their fair
teachers, whose enthusiasm since the work
was first started has led to its present strong
growth.
It is seven years since a wealthy New
Yorker died, leaving in ids will a large sum
of money to be devoted to the Christian
izing of Chinaman in the city. The money
was left to the care of the Foreign Mission
ary Society, whose headquarters are at 83
Centre street. For some time after the
money had been paid into their treasury the
managers of the society were much puzzled
10 know bow to make use of it. Their first
plan proved a failure. They converted a
Chinaman and then paid him to interest his
fellow-countrymen in Christianity. This
Chinaman was, however, a crafty one, and
while working a little for the society did a
great deal for himself. His countrymen dis
trusted him, and within a year after he had
started his work his bad faith had become so
plain to his employers that he was dis
charged, and that way of doing work was
abandoned for some time.
It was theu tiiat Miss Goodrich, a lady
prominent in church work, undertook to
put the plan of Christianizing Chinamen
into practical working shape. !She, assisted
by several other ladies, started a Sunday
school near the Five Points. Her ideas of
leaching Chinamen was to interest young
ladies in the work, and it succeeded beauti
fully. The Chinamen, seeing they were so
industriously sought after, managed, how
ever, to indicate the way in which they
wanted to be taught. They insisted that
each pupil should have a separate teacher.
They objected to men, as being too harsh and
inpatient, and said that their own ntild na
tures could be much more easily led by
pretty young women than by the older and
more experienced male workers in Sunday
schools.
Miss Goodrich was the Superintendent,
and continued in the work up to tRe time of
her death, not long ago. By that time a
large and flourishing school had been estab
lished with nearly sixty Chinese pupils and,
of course, as many teachers. The tomb
stone which was placed over her grave at
Calvary Cemetery bore an inscription of
gratitude in the Chinese language from her
pupils. Her plan of teaching Chinese
was adopted in other churches thereaf
ter.
The second school to bo established was the
one in the Presbyterian church at Four
teenth street and Second avenue. This is at
present in a thriving condition and prac
tically self-supporting. Half the churches
in New York have Sunday schools running
on the same basis as the original. The suc
cess attendant upon Miss Goodrich’s plan
was due largely to the ethusiasm with which
the young women connected with the
churches entered into the work. It
became a sort of fad, and girls vied with
each other in their attentions to their Mon
folian pupils. Some of them even over
id the thing to such an extent that the
church authorities had to interfere.
They invited their pupils around to their
homes and gave them private lessons there
until it was stopped. Each girl did her best
to make her particular pupil advance more
rapidly in the teachings ot the Gospel than
the others. To do this she laid herself out to
interest the Chinaman in his studies and soon
got him to feel that she was interested in
him. The work succeeded so well that the
Foreign Missionary Society saw a way in
which it could briiig a good many China
men together.

THE CHINESE CONSUL ADDRESSING THE
' SCHOLARS.
It employed another Chinese convert who
" as thoroughly conversant, with the English
language, and paid him a salary to devote
nil his time to converting his brethren. A
house was rented at 15 University place and
rooms fitted up tastefully to serve as meet
ing rooms for Chinamen. The convert's
name was Hue Kin and he is still in charge
of this school. At first the Foreign Mission
ary Society intended to make it a sort of
Sunday school union, and to a certain ex
tent this idea is still carried out. Young
women were also invited to instruct the
Chinamen here, under the supervision of
Hue Kin. It was made a sort of Young
Men's Christian Association for Chinamen,
and they met here as the American young
men do at the larger institutions of that
kind. The classes there meet in the even
ing, and after the studies are over the
Chinamen conduct their fair teachers to
their homes.
The plan of having young women teach
the Chinamen war earnestly discussed in all
the churches, and Htill remains a problem.
Many leading church people object to the
idea, and some go so far as to say that it is
entirely improper. In order to overcome
this an attempt was made some time ago to
establbh another kind of Sunday school
union. The President and Secretary of this
was Mr. Bassett. The idea was that if this
un on was a success" the Chinamen would
either have to go there or give up their
, studies altogether.
As many of them had evinced au enthu
[ siasm for being taught, it was argued that
they would still continue to attend the
classes even if they did not receive their
instructions from young women. Since
they could find no other place to go they
Wimld have togo there. But Mr. Bassett
Wp‘SH Baptist, and attempted to convert tiie
Chinamen to his particular den Animation,
i his caused dissension and the plan was
finally given up. All the schools, with tiie
exception of Hue Kin’s, in the city are now
conducted in connection with the separate
churches. .
.. 1 attended a Sunday school of this nature
in session last week, with the purpose of
studying the teachers. Eaefy Chinaman
had a young lady seated beside him, and
repeated after her, in the most docile man
ner, the words of a hymn. It was written
en a card in Chinese and English. The
teacher would pronounce the English word
** u Chinaman would regent it and
“ the same time read the C'aSuese word
jwd get the meaning of the hymn in that
i, Hieir pronunciation was very laughable.
Jesus, Lover of My Soul,” w rendered,
v esus, Yover of My Soul,” sin a sing
'°tgy manner, which tiie teachers could
>t correct to save themselves. When
the Chinamen joined in a chorus even the
teachers found it difficult to keep sober
countenances.
The teachers all addressed their pupils as
hoys,” although some of them were grown
to that ago when bald heads and toothless
gums are found in our own countrymen.
Nearly all the Chinese were dressed in silk
robes of different colors, and some of them
look quite dignified. I was told that they
were all lauudrymen. A few were dressed
in the American style, and some of these
were quite dandified, wearing diamonds in
their polished yellow shirt bosoms and in
their cravats, and were otherwise gotten up
in the latest style. The pupils seemed to be
very apt under the instruction given them
by the young women.
The Rev. Dr. Mac Arthur, who was
superintending the instruction, said he
thougut the Chinese wanted women teachers
because they are in tlieir nature so much
like children. To mv eyes, the school looked
more like a jolly meeting of men and young
women than like a class of pupils receiving
instruction.
I talked with a number of young women
and asked them how they liked the work,
and found that they were quite gushing over
it. They one and all agreed that they
would much prefer to teach the Chinamen
than American men. The Chinamen,
they said, were very appreciative, and did
everything that was told them. They showed
a great desire to learn and were as gentle as
so many doves.
“Why,” said one pretty girl, “if we
would let them, they would just shower
us with flowers and tokens of their esteem.
We have to check their gratitude. They
look up to us like so many little children,
and we feel quite motherly towards them.”
The Chinese pupils seemed to look upon
my presence with disapproval, afld I gath
ered from their actions that they could get
along much better without the interference
of any “Melican man.” The Chinese Con
sul was present aud advised bis countrymen
to be good and mind their teachers. He
spoke in Chinese.
Whatever may be said of the Chinese
laundrymen’s avarice and his desire to get as
much money as lie possibly can by unfair
competition with American workers, in
regaid to the young women who give him
Sunday school lessons he is as extravagant
as any young American can be in his atten
tion to young ladies. For the first few
years this propensity was so strong that it
had to be stopped by fixed rules made by the
church authorities. Once or twice every
year the Chinese pupils give an entertain
ment to their teachers.
THE CHINESE WAITING ON THEIR TEACHERS.
These entertainments are in different forms,
but always include a banquet. The Chinese
insist upon providing eveivthing and act
themselves as waiters at the tables. I at
tended one of these banquets at the moment
when the Chinamen were waiting on their
teachers. Each pupil was laying himself
out to give his own favorite a very large
dose of dyspepsia. Each one stood behind
the chair of his guest and continued to pile
dainties of all sorts upon her plate. Flowers
in abundance decorated the table, and if
the girls had eaten or drank all that was
given them, they never would have gotten
up from that table of their own volition.
The Chinamen will never sit down at the
table on these occasions, looking upon this
as a slight to the young ladios. It is only
after the latter nave finished their meal,
that the Chinamen will sit down. The
young women have frequently attempted
to reciprocate by waiting upon their hosts,
but this proposition they resented in horror.
During the entire time that the entertain
ment I have referred to was in progress the
Chinamen laid themselves out to make
things pleasant for their guests. The only
peculiar thing about their attentions was
that they were all of an intimate and almost
affectionate nature.
Every summer the Chinamen unite and
give an excursion to their teachers. Osca
wana Isiand on the Hudson is a favorite
place for these excursions. They charter
one of the largest and best fitted excur
sion steamers, and usually take about 500 of
their teachers and the teachers’ friends for
an outing.
I was present on one of these excursions
and was much surprised at what I saw. On
board the steamer, as we swept up the Hud
son, a Chinese baud poured out alleged mel
ody in large doses. It was a combination
of the most horrible and screeching sounds
that can possibly be imagined. The chorus
of a score of Baxter street cats on a mid
summer night would hardly approach it in
its torturing effects. The band consisted of
ten men. two of whom played cymbals
which weighed about twenty pounds. One
of tiie alleged sweet-tuned instruments was
a brass pan which hung suspended from a
rope and was industriously pounded by a
sweating Chinaman witii a heavy copper
knobbea stick. There were three or feur
suaro drums and a bamboo drum, which
was there simply for show, as it could not
be heard. There were also several string in
struments, flutes and horns. The China
men were in their national costume and
were served with large quantities of cold
tea by their friends. They played Chinese
tunes from memory.
There were a number of good-looking
Chinamen on board who were dressed in the
American style. One of these caught my
attention particularly. He wore a cuta
way black diagonal coat and vest, with
light trousers and patent leather shoes and
a tall iiat. Althought it was very hot, lie
wore dainty kid gloves and two large dia
monds sparkled in his shirt bosom. He
seemed particularly gallant in his attentions
to the guests.
When the party landed at Oscawana I
noticed that he walked away into the woods
with a pretty American girl. When I saw
him next he was seated on a log beside her,
with his arm leaning on tiie limb of a tree,
which came down low back of them, in
such a manner as to allow it to rest gently
against lier waist. They were talking
together in low tones. He was duintily
tapping his patent leather shoe with a
freshly cut switch. Throughout the
whole day he paid this young woman a
great many attentions in such a marked
manner as to win the disapproval of some
of the older people who had gone 4iug for
propriety's sake.
A number of other couples strayed
tlirough the. woods in the same way, osten
sibly gathering flowers. Tiie happy shouts
of tiie American girls could be heard ring
ing clearly in queer contrast with the sing
song voices of their Chinese associates.
Tables were spread in the grove, piled up
with dainty foods and real lemonade. Fire
crackers and Chinese day fireworks were set
off durnig the whole time tiiai the party re
mained on tiie island. The girls wore com
pelled to eat and drink long after they had
evinced a desire to stop, and the Chinamen
refused to touch a morsel, although they
had abstained from eating a long time, until
their guests had finished.
On the return trip'the party was jollier
than ever. In the soft twilight, as the
steamer turned her prow down the Hudson,
the Chinese started to sing hymns. Little
groups were scattered bore and there about
the decks, and everything was as jolly as ou

ordinary excursions. There was no appear
ance of restraint, and pupils and teachers
joked and laughed and fooled with each
other lust as they would on a regulation
American excursion. In some parts of the
boat dancing was even begun, and the odd
sight of a pig-tailed Chinaman whirling a
pretty American girl in the maze of a waltz
wns not at al! uncommon. When the
steamer reached her pier each Chinaman
took one or two American girls in tow and
escorted them home.

A CHINESE DRESSED LIKE A MELICAN MAN.
To a certain extent the church authorities
are conscious of the familiarity existing be
tween the teachers and pupils, and efforts
have been made to discourage it, though
unquestionably the friendly feeling existing
between pupil and teachers is in the highest
degree ennobling to the former and of no
harm to any one. It is a tribute to the un
failing kindness and patience, as well as to
the evident high character, of the young
ladies. Several churches, however, have
put a stop to the entertainments given by
the pupils and tried to bring it down to a
strictly business basis. The Chinamen, how
ever, objected to it very strongly. 11l those
churches where the rules forbid the pupils
giving presents to the teachers, there has
been a notable falling off in the attendance
of the Chinamen.
The teachers do not seem to like it either,
and in those churches it is much more diffi
cult to obtain teachers than in others where
these rules are not enforced. The authori
ties who are endeavoring to reform these
matters complain that as long as there is not
a union of the Sunday schools, and a firm
standing on that basis, it is impossible to
compel the Chinamen to adhere to the rules.
In schools where it has been attempted to
put male teachers the Chinamen have left in
a body and have gone to ebujehes where
they can have their way. They insist not
only upon having young women to instruct
them, but also insist that each Chinaman
shall have the 6ame individual teacher every
Sunday. The girls appear to agree with the
pupils'on this subject and the efforts to
change this state of affairs have so far been
unsuccessful. John Hoe.
IN HIDING IN AUBURN PRISON.
It’s Such a Safe Place that Mauer Can
not be Found, but He’s There.
An Auburn (N. Y.) telegram says: Ed
ward Mauer, who deprived the 1,000 con
victs in the prison of their extra dinner and
the concert on Thanksgiving day by going
into retirement in some secluded spot about
the prison buildings, has not yet been
found. The guards, keepers and officials
who have been obliged to do extra duty
since Thanksgiving day are a very cross set
of men.
Mauer has managed to conceal himself
longer than any other stowaway in the his
tory of the Auburn prison. He is about 22
years old, and has served numerous terms
in penal institutions. A quantity of bread
was stolen from the prison storeroonr last
nignt, and Mauer is probably feasting
upon it to-day. Every apartment about
the prison buildings has been carefully
searched, but Mauer has not yet been dis
covered.
Mauer is an insignificent-looking convict,
and has been in Auburn prison but eight
months. He is a transfer from Sing Sing,
and the crime for which he is doing time
here is an unimportant one. It is related
that when in Sing Sing he gave the officials
there a pleasant time hunting him up when
he succeeded once in stowing himself away.
To a fellow-convict in the prison hero he re
lated how he escaped from Blackwell’s
Isiand, where he has also done time, by
dropping out of the squad of men with
whom lie was marching, eluding the guards
and swimming ashore. He is conceded to
be about the slickest stowaway with which
the officials of the prison here ever had any
experience, and the question that now puz
zles them is: Where is Mauer?
It was found he was missing Thanksgiv
ing morning just before the hour set for the
religious services, and as a result the con
victs did not hear the excellent sermon
which Chaplain Searls had prepared for the
occasion, and another thing the men in
stripes did not hear that day was the con
cert under the direction of Miss Belle
White, a local musician. All these Thanks
giving treats, including an extra dinner,
were postponed until some future time. Tiie
nights since Mauer’s disappearance have
been cold, with a drizzly rain, and the un
happy guards who are obliged to patrol tho
walls and keep a sharp lookout for wily
Mauer have cursed both him and their hard
lot very often. Squads of men headed by
officers have scoured all parts of the prison
buildings and shops and have not found the
least trace of the stowaway. His disap
pearance takes a more mysterious aspect as
the days iiass without his being brought to
light, and tiie question: Has he escaped? is
beginning to be considered by the prison
officials, though they do not concede it as
possible that he could have gotten over the
walls.
One theory is that lie lias entered into a
scheme with some fellow-convict by which
one of them will be able to secure his free
dom. This, however, is an utter impossi
bility, a.s with the extra guards doing duty
day and night no one, no matter how
crafty, could scale the walls without being
winged by a bullet from a guard’s riiie.
Elec ric lights illuminate the prison enclo
sure, so that all parts of the walls are re
vealed. Keeper Miller has gone oil nightly
excursions through tho darkest and most
gloouiv portions of the prison ever since
Mauers disappearance, but has not been
rewarded by a sight of tho man. Every
spot hitherto utilized by a factious convict
to bother his keepers has been thoroughly
overhauled, hut ho has evidently found a
new and more secure place in which to con
ceal his small body. Tho prison men are
bound to dig him out if it takes all winter,
and at the present writing it looks as though
they had a good job on hand. He will
probaly be found concealed in some dis
used chimney if hunger doas not drive him
out.
A Wonderful Food and Medicine.
Known and used by physicians all over the
world. Scott’s Emulsion not only gives
flesh and strength by virtue of its own nu
tritious properties, but creates an appetite
for food that builds up the wasted body. “1
have been using Scott’s Emulsion for seve
ral years, and am pleased with its action.
My patients say it is pleasant and palatalVe,
and all grow stronger and gain flesh from
the use of it. I use it in all cases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for chil
dren when nutrient medication is needed, as
in marasmus.” T. W. Fierce, M. D.,

OF THE
'ins of Hie laj!
Mews, (.'flickering 4k Sons:
Gknti.kmkn—About two years ago I had
occasion to use one of your Concert Grand
Pianos. At the time I was so much im
pressed with its general excellence that I
have continued using your pianos both for
my concerts and for my own private use
since.
This has been done with the greatest satis
faction to myself, and I can truly say that
my decision has been justified by the re
sults.
Your pianos possess in a superlative degree
all the excellence required in a first-class
piano. While retaining the wonderful sing
ing quality for which tbo Chiekering Piano
has always been so justly celebrated, and
has held the highest position In the art in
dustries, you have gained the maximum of
power, still retaining the even balance of
the scale throughout all the registers.
These qualities combined with the perfec
tion of the action and general mechanism
have placed your pianos, in my estimation,
at the head of the pianos of the day , and
enables me to say with enthusiasm that I
prefer them to any other make.
[Signed] Wm. H. Sherwood.

And so it goes. Gottsebalk, Talberg,
Joseffy, Liszt, Rive King, Sherwood, and in
fact about all great piano virtuosos of the
world, unreservedly pronounce Chiekering
the leader. Rival makers may dispute
this claim, but “facts are stubborn” and
won’t bo set aside.
