To Extirpate Christianity and Expel Foreigners
From China, Says Dr. Hykes.
Now York, April 11.—The annunl re
port of the American Bible Society rel
ative to the situation in Chinn, will con
tain the following interesting state
ments from its agent in China, the Rov.
John K. Hykes, D. D.:
“There was a deep an 1 cunningly
laid plot, under the imperial sanction,
to extirpate Christianity, expel all for
eigners and destroy all foreign interests.
No one divined the full extent ol the in
iquity which was deliberately contem
plated. -
"Iu all 188 Protestant missionaries,
including sixty men, 75 women and 48
children havo been massacred.
"With the exception of Massacres at
Ku Ohoo, in Chekiang, iu whioh eleven
persons were killed, and at Hong Chou,
in Hunan, all of the deaths ooonrred in
the northern provinces.
“The question has been raised at
homo as to whether the boxer uprising
was anti-foreign or anti-missionary in
its oharactor. No doubt exists in the
mind of any well-informed person in
China. The movement was undoubted
ly against foreigners, as suoh; and the
crusade was directed against everything
foreign—Christianity, of oourse, in
cluded. Hau Ohtng Cheng and Yuen I
Chang,-two ministers of the foreign 1
’ offloe,would not transmit the awful edict
whioh reiterated the order to 'painfully
extirpate all the foreigners,’ but ohaugod
it so ns to read 'protect all foreigners,’
and then sent it flying over the wires to
the remotest provinces. They were Ben-
tenoed to be out in two. Missionaries
were the olass that were benefited by
this aot of heroism. The faot that every
missionary escaped from fourteen oat of
eighteen provinces would indicate that
the crusade was not speciaiy anti-
missionary.
“We have to mourn the loss of many
noblfc and devoted native workers. They
were warned of the risk they were run
ning, but not a man of the noble band
of eighteen flinched. Their reply was
'we go on a Oolportage tour. God’s will
be done.’ Only four of the eighteen re
turned from the journey. Of the Col
porteurs under missionary supervision I
have not heard of one who escaped. In
some other parts of China Colporteurs
endured terrible persecution, and some
of them are only now venturing out of
hiding.
“More than 40.000 native converts
(including Roman Catholics) met death
with a heroism worthy of the best age
of the church.”

New York, April 11.—Dr. Buckley,

Death at Poulan.
News has been received in the city of
the death of Mr. Jeff Wilson, which oc
curred at his home in Poulan on Sunday
afternoon. On Thursday of last week
Mr. Wilson was injured in a runaway,
the bones of his leg sustaining serious
fractures. His injuries received atten
tion from local physicians, but gangrene
set iu, and on .Sunday Doctors Davis ana
Welch, of this city, were summoned to
amputate tho limb.
At tho time of the operation Mr. Wil
son’s condition was such that it was not
believed that he could recover, and on
Sunday afternoon he died. He is sur
vived by several small children, who
passed through Albany yesterday on
their way to Poulan from some point in
the western part of the state. They
did not reach Poulan, however, in time
to attend their father’s funeral, which
took place yesterday morning.

The Fad
Of the modern woman is health by
exercise. It’s an excellent fad, pro
vided that it is always remembered that
exercise eannot cure womanly diseases.
Indeed, where such
diseases exist exer
cise is apt to aggra
vate the condition
rather than to
help it.
The first step to
ward establishing
the general health is
to establish the local
womanly health.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription cures
womanly diseases
which undermine
the general health.
It establishes regu
larity, dries enfee
bling drains, heals
inflammation and
ulceration and cures
female weakness.
When these are cured, backache, head
ache and nervousness are tilings of the
past. The universal testimony of weak
and sickly women, cured by ” Favorite
Prescription,” is this: ” It has made me
feel like a new woman.”
" My wife lian used three bottles of Dr. Pierce’s
medicine, and I never saw such results,” writes
A. B. Haynes, Ksq., of Aurora, Lawrence Co..
Mo. ”It was wonderful in its work. We had
used lots of medicine, also had one of the best
physicians in Aurora, but my wife got no better;
we heard one pitiful groau after another, day
and night. A friend handed me a copy of Dr.
Pierce’s book, the Common Sense Medical Ad
viser, and after reading the testimonials of Dr.
Pierce’s successful treatment, and seeing that
the cases described were similar to my wife's, I
bought for her a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription. Before she had taken all of the
medicine she was up and helping to do the
work. She has taken three bottles and is now
about well. Has better health than she has
had for years.”
