THE H BOXERS IN CIA'S REM Rev- D- L- Anderson Tells an Inter esting Tale of China- IN LEAGUE WITH EMPRESS- He Speaks From Eighteen Year’s Experience as a Methodist Miss ionary in China. Savannah News “The outrages perpetrated by the boxers in China represent the last expiring effort c i the Empress Dowager to save herself and the Manchu-Tartar dynasty from depo sition. She is the inspiration and the brains of the movement; the members of the society are but ig norant and vicious tools in her hands and the hands of her minis ters.” Rev. D. L. Anderson, D. D., Methodist Episcopal missionary to China, was talking of the boxers and their gruesome peculiarities with a Morning News reporter last night. Dr. Anderson has spent the last eighteen years of his life in China, with two short intermiss ions, has lived with the people, has studied their manners, their habits of thought, their prejudices and their beliefs, and is thoroughly well posted as to the prevailing condition of affairs in that coun try. He gave a clear and lucid statement of the existent troubles and their causes. “In the Chinese language the Society of Boxers is known as I Ho Chuan. The meaning is with difficulty rendered into English, the wide difference in the idioms of the languages not permitting a literal translation. The word T means ‘the public,’ or the ‘public weal,’ or something of that sort; ‘Ho’ signifies ‘pacification,’ or ‘quiet,’ or ‘freedom from trouble;’ ‘Chuan’ signifies‘by force,’or ‘with the fist.’ A free translation of the name of the society would be, ‘Pub lic Weal Secured by the Fist.’ “From this combination of words the name of the society has been shortened into Boxers. Its osten sible purpose is the protection of the country from the introduction of western customs and civiliza tion. with their imaginary evil con sequences; its real, underlying rai son d’etre is the conviction of the Empress Dowager, that her in fluence and her throne are totter ing, and that the expulsion of the foreigners is the one thing that will serve them both from destruction "Secret societies in China are not new,” continued Dr. Anderson. “In China they take the place of political parties and a great many of them are founded on the pop ular discontent with the reigning dynasty, which is Manchu-Tartar and not Chinese. Revolutions are frequent, riots and disorder of com mon occurrence, and some one of the societies is usually at the bot tom of the trouble. “It is altogether probable that the Boxers have maintained a sub rosa existence for a long period of time, but they rose into prominence some two years ago. Two Ger man Cathalic missionaries in the province of Shantung had been butchered by a mob and the Ger man government demanded satis faction, redress and indemnity. In addition t* the port of Kio Chow, which it secured, it required that it should receive certain rail roads and mining concessions. “A decree of the Empress Do wager promised, and, indeed, gave these concessions, but at the same time a secret order was sent to the officers of the province directing that every stumbling v block be thrown in the way of the German government making use of the grants and that they should be de feated if possible. Of course, some ostensibly unefficial feme had t) be used to accomplish this end and the Boxers were selected as furnishing the right kind of ma terial. The Germans have never attempted to make use of the con cessions that were granted them, but the Boxers were doubtless ready if any such attempt had been made. “Since that time it has been evi- Constipation, Headache, Biliousness, Heartburn, Indigestion, Dizziness, Indicate that your liver is out of order.

They ha/e been organizing and drilling under the eyes of government offi cials, and everybody around, ex cept the officials, understood what these preparations meant. In the early pan of the year an English man, Mr. Brooks, was killed, and a number of Chinese Christians were massacred. Nothing was done, though the outrage was re ported to the government and the offenders were well known “The whole thing is an old story in China. The Empress Dowager who has ruled the country with an iron hand for twenty years, and is cordially disliked by the better ele ment of the people throughout the empire. It will be remembered that in 1898 she deposed her nephew, the then emperor, and has since kept him under confinement. Shortly before that period the coun try had become impregnated with the spirit of reform and the em peror himself was a leader in the movement. All over the country schools, which were ‘teaching the new learning,’ had been establish ed and were in successful opera tion. A healthy spirit of advance ment was in the air and every movement for the good of the peo ple was heartily seconded by the emperor. With the deposition of Kwang Hsu the schools vanished and the reform spirit in official cir cles, died a sudden death. “The Empress Dowager has no' personal following throughout China, the large and influential, intelligent and wealthy classes among the people holding her in cordial dislike. The Boxers are made up for the most part of ig norant countrymen. They are of the class that is transformed by op portunity and the thought that thetfe is more in it from peaceable citizens into lawless brigands. Easily stirred up and excited and outrage at the shrewd dictation of a few bold and unprincipled men. “It is a mistake to suppose,” said Dr. Anderson, "that the Box ers are scattered ovei the entire empire. They are to be found principally in the uorthern part of Shantung and the southern part of Chili Li provinces, the latter pro vince being that in which Pekin is situated. They are receiving, as I have said, the support of the Em press Dowager, her idea being that the expulsion of the foreigners will kill the spirit of progress and reform and thus still the objec tions to herself and her dynasty. Dr. Anderson believes that more troops should be sent by the Uni ted States to Pekin for the protec tion of American, residents. The Boxers are being joined now by the troops of the Chinese army,and are in this way becoming much more formidable antagonists. The Empress and her Manchu advisors at Pekin are unable to understand anything more of the power and strength of a nation than they can see under their eyes, and they are prone to discredit the resources of any country that they see repre sented only by a few score of men. A show of force is necessary, and would suffice to awe them into sub mission. The missionary believes that the people of China would consent to the restoration of Kvvang Hsu un der a joint protectorate of the pow ers, and that they would welcome it. In this connection it would be possible for the United States to t ike the initiative, as there is no jealously of the part of those of the continent of Europe. On the other hand, England and Rus sia are at odds, and neither would couset to the other taking charge of the suppression of the Boxers, and the installation of the rightful monarch on his throne. The Chi nese, too, believe in the honesty and sinceriiy of the United States. If prompt action were taken by the powers or by the United States alone, Dr. Anderson believes that the Boxers’ rebellion might easily be suppressed and much possible bloodsiud averted. In his opinion j 8,000 or xo.ooo seasoned troops 1 could accomplish this end without trouble. Dr. Anderson does not place much faith or confidence’ in the easily arranged plans. The American Girl’s Marriage “ When the American girl defers her choice of a husband until she has had a reasonable opportunity to see something of mankind, and had a chance to compare the good with the had, she is pretty apt to strike a good average for herself,” writes Edward Bok in the Ladies’ Home Journal. “Asa rul* she is a pretty good judge of men, when she gives her judgment time to as sist her to a wise conclusion. The point is to get her to wait. It must be said to her credit that she is waiting longer than she did form erly. It is not so many years ago that a girl was considered of mar riagable age when she became six teen or seventeen years old. If she married then, or shortly after ward, it was not such an unusual thing. Twenty-five years ago girls generally married at nineteen, while today the average is closer to twenty-three. The marriage of a girl in hei teens causes actual surprise in these days. Out of a list of one thousand marriages re cently compiled, just one-half the brides were between twenty-two and twenty-five; two hundred were between twenty-fiye and thirty. Still there were three hundred un der twenty years of age, And nearly all these young gir'i mar ried men under twenty-two —mere boys, in other words. And this is the fatal part of a girl’s marriage at too early an age. Instead of choosing a man for her husband she is very apt to choose a boy.” - OAS?Onf A.

Mort is Wace in “Now Lipp ncolt.” A bridegroom once came to the minister to engage him to perform the wedding ceremony, and after a’.l the arrangements had been made the br'degroom-elect said frankly: “I’ll ! tell you right now that I can’t pay all in one lump the three dollars I am planning to give you for the job. I have had a cut in my wages, and I won’t have the three dollars to spare all at one time. I’ll give you a quarter after the wed ding, and then I’ll come around to your house every Saturday night and pay you a quarter until I am square with you. I don’t like this here g'.ttin’ married on '.he instal ment plan, but it is the best I can do.” Said a southern minister: “One of the queerest fees I ever received was from a young negro bridegroom for whom I performed the wedding ceremony at mv own home. At the close of the cere mony, and just as the bridal party of five or six were about to depart, the bridegroom sa : d, ‘Yo’ will find de fee for yo’ kindness out in a co'nali ob de po’ih, sah.’ I fol lowed the party out on to the porch, and when they had gone on their way I looked in a corner of the porch, where I found a pair of fine fowls tied together by the legs. They set up a lusty squawk as I picked them up. The bridegroom had said as he went down the steps that they were ‘ob his own raisin,” but I never felt quite sure of that.” Some women don’t know what it is to sleep we 11...

Brake of Petrolea, Ontario,Can ada, writes: “Pour years ago I had a severe attack of Bright’s Disease, which brought me so low the doctor said noth- Hon. J. Brake. Ing more could be done for me. When one of your lectures on the above disease was read to me I began to take Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin, and found it acted just as represented. In three months I was a well man, and have continued so ever since.” Mr. J. N. Howard of Marble, Artt., says: “It has been nearly two months since I wrote you giving a description of my case. I began taking Pe-ru-na and when I got your letter I followed the directions. My doctor had no hope of my getting well. My bowels HOT WATER FORA WHOLETOWN Novel Manner of Utilizing: the Waste Steam of a Power Plant. The Delaware Electric Light and Power company, of Delaware, 0., is arranging to supply the whole town with a hot water heat ing system, the water being heated from the exhaust steam of the en gines, The Scientific American says: In all manufacturing now adays the utilization of by-prod ucts, hitherto thrown away, marks a distinct advance. In the making of electricity, either for light or power, where the current is pro duced from dynamos driven by steam engines, there results a large amount of waste steam —the ex haust which is usually thrown away. This steam still contains more than three-quarters of the heat originally imparted to it by coal burned under the boilers. In this hot water system forthe entire town the greatest by-product of the electric light and power busi ness becomes a source of great in come. The steam is first used in the engines, after which it passes as exhaust through a feed water heater, which heats the fresh sup ply of boiler water. The feed wat • - absorbs only about io per cent of the exhaust steam, the remain der being then passed to a large steel beater of small tubes, sur rounded by water.

My disease was Bright’s disease of the kid neys. lam quite well now.” The kidneys are subject to catarrh the same as any other organ. The catarrh may be slight, giving rise to little or no disturbance, or severe, producing a genuine case of Bright’s disease of the kidneys. The symptoms of catarrh of the kidneys are weak back, dull pains In back and hips, sometimes high colored and sometimes clear urination. Catarrh of the kidneys quickly leads to chronic Bright’s disease. Pe-ru-na should be taken at the appearance of the first symptom. If taken in the early stages of the disease Pe-ru-na is sure to cure every case. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because 'it cures catarrh wherever Located. No other systemic catarrh v remedy has as yet been devised. Insist upon having Pe-ru-na. There are no medicines that can be substituted.
