LUCKY JOHX aiINAMAN. 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. tei \)m\ \ i vjilf' feMf / 'iKJ iy|2i thhzdk'tr. mmwm 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 THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1887. 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. /|l<| vy /HM |\ n 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., Knoxville, Ala.

LVDOSK <ft BATES 8. M. n. it tie lli'iii 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. September 1, 1887, • 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. Superb new styles just opened. Abso lutely perfect in Tone and Action. Factory prices, easy term?, at L k B. S.
