Wilmington’s Mission Church will be
dedicated this afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev.
Dr. W. C. Schaeffer, Rev. Dr. J. D.
Jordan, Rev. W. A. Nesbit and Rev. Os
good F. Cook will take part in the, cere
monies. The music will be furnished by
the choir of the P’irsr Presbyterian
Church. Dr. Schaeffer will conduct the
yitea of dedication, Dr. Jordan will preach
the fermon and Rev. Nesbit and Rev.
Cook will deliver appropriate addresses.
It is expected that quite a large num
ber of people will be In attendance during
the exercises. The steamer Santee will
leAve the city for the island at 9 o’clock
e. m., and will touch at Thunderbolt at
II o’clock. A part of the money taken in
for tickets will be given to the church
by Capt. Gibson.
The ministers and the choir will leave
Thunderbolt for the Island at 2:30 o'clock,
going in a naphtha launch.
The work of building a mission church
fit Wilmington was started about four
years ago by the Wilmington Island Mis
sion Circle, composed of Misses Annie
Holverson. Lottie Lang, Josie Lang, May
Ruwe, Dora Judkins. Mamie Schafer. Et
ta Judkins and Angie Smallwood. These
young ladies by various means got to
gether a sum sufficient to start the work
and keep it going until to-day they
will see the accomplishment of their de
sires in the completed budding.
The corner stone of the building was
laid last summer by I>r. Schaeffer and be
fore the end of the season the building
was so nearly completed that services
were held in It; but it still lacked paint
ing and interior furnishings and it re
mained until this summer before these
were secured. Now. however, everything
about the building and its furnishings has
been comp ered even to the organ, a hand
eome one. which was presented last week
by Mr. Nicholas Lang.
The church will be non-sectarian and
Its congregation will depend upon the Sa
vannah ministers to fill its pulpit from
time to time, as they may find it con
venient to do so. Asa further induce
ment to have regular services, however.
It is proposed that the plan doubtless will
be carried out. to build, adjoining the
church, a persona;?* that will be at the
disposal of ginv minister who will, dur
ing hie time of occupancy, attend to the
pastoral duties of the church. It is
thought that some of the Savannah min
isters may be willing to spend their holi
days ac the island, and in this way the.
parsonage will be of benefit to both min
ister and the island congregation.

rnin' VENDERS WIN *IO,OOO.
Ifervy Retting on s Tip In a Kansas
City Poolroom.
From the Kansas City Times.
On the strength of a quiet little tip that
was sent over the wires from the track
side by someone who was evidently pretty
well posted, a half a dozen Italian mer
chants of the North End cleaned up a
cool Jlft,ooo on a single race at the Derby
poolrooms in Kansas City. Kas., last Wed
nesday. The horse upon which the nervy
fruit venders placed their money was Mil
waukee. and the odds put up by the local
bookmakers were 4 to 1. Nobody except
the lucky Italians were on to the "good
thing,” and there were three or four
horses in the race that had preference In
the betting.
It was when the flret betting was an
nounced by the operator and posted on the
big blacboard that five of the Italians
walked up to the little wicket and shoved
8500 apiece into the hands of the ticket
writer.
"Milwaukee to win.” said each of them.
"Two thousand to five hundred,” said the
ticket man as he raked in the money and
handed back a small card to each of the
players that was worth Just 82.500 fifteen
minutes afterward. Following these came
a shower of small bets ranging from 50
cents to 85.00 from those who were willing
to risk a small amount on the luck of
the Italians.
Thomas Carey, who Is one of the owners
of the poolroom, watched the betting as
the men shoved and scuffled for a place at
the window and he seemed to enjoy it. He
looked to be rather amused then interes
ted, and there was not the anxiety ap
parent that was noticeable in one of the
men who nervously twitched a $1 ticket
in his hands, watching the finish of the
race which would decide whether he was
$4 better off or 81 poorer.
The crowd had gone wild very suddenly
over Milwaukee, and the tide of the bet
ting turned toward the choice of the Ital
ians, without any reason other than the
knowledge that the horse had been tipped,
for the form did not figure that Milwaukee
had a chance to get inside the money.
Somebody asked Carey jf he was going
to close the race up before the start.
"No. sir," replied the bookmaker; “we
will take every cent they have got, and
more, too. That's the way we win our
money, and the way we like to lose it —in
big piles.”
"The race Is off." the operator announces
and there Is u hushed murmur over the
hall, followed by a perfect silence that Is
only broken by the clatter of the telegraph
Instruments. The favorites get off togeth
er and Milwaukee is not heard from at the
get-a-way. At the quarter a stranger is
in the lead, and the crowd grows suspi
cious. It may be he who will win the race.
The next time the runners are heard from
Milwaukee is the third one mentioned and
the crowd breathes a sigh of relief. The
next time the Italian favorite is second,
and only a length behind the leader. Into
the stretch they go, with Milwaukee still
holding se.ond place, and then comes the
painful wait.
“And the winner!” said the operator and
the Instrument stopped ticking suddenly.
“Come on. Milwaukee!" the players were
saying all over the room, and some of the
men were bendiifls over beating their knees
with their hands in the Imagination that
they were bestride the horse thy were so
anxious should win, that was hundred* of
miles away.
The Instrument began to clatter spas
modically
“Wild the winner again—lt Is Milwau
kee!" said the operator, with an energy
that betrayed his own Interest In the race.
The crowd had won, and the winners
rushed forward to get their money.
—"This boy of mine,” said the distress
ed parent, "has always been backward
in his lessons. He doesn't seem to be
smart enough." .
"You leave him with me,” said the old
fashioned pedagogue, significantly. "I'll
make him smart.”—Philadelphia Record.

(Copyright, 11)00, by G. >l. Walker.)
New York, July 27.-Competent judges
believe that campaigning In North China
by European and American troops will in
volve greater hardships than occidental
troops have ever been called upon to en
dure.
The early part of the summer about
Pekin Is usually dry and hot, and the
last eight or ten weeks have proved no
exception to the gen ra! rule. But, begin
ning about the middle of July, torrential
rains, which flood the entire plain about
China’s capital and all but stop the traf
fic across it, g nerally prevail for a short
season. This period of heavy rains is ac
companied by high winds, which, some
tines, are very destructive, while along
the coast dense fogs are the rul“, the at
mosphere being heavily charged with hu
midity.
The entrance to the Gulf of Peichili lies
through the narrow straits between Chifu
A WALL ON WHICH A COMPANY MIGHT PARADE.
(This is from a photograph of part of the outer wall of Pekin, the top of the
wall only being shown. It is sixty feet wide and more than forty feet high, wide
enough for a company of soldiers to march abreast in two ranks, and high
enough o dominate a goodly portion of the great Celestial city. The celebrated
ancient astronomical observatory is shown in the background.)
and Port Arthur, wh'ch are thickly stud
ded with rocky islands, a veritable grave
yard of shipping. In pr portion to the ton
nage passing turough thire are more ves
sels lost In these snails than in any other
similar wattrs in the world, and If the
trouble in China Is not quickly duelled
many o her warsli ps and transports te
sides the Oregon will come to grief in
these treacherous waters.
Even those that pas* the dang rous
straits and anchor at Taku will not be
much safer, for there is no h trbor there;
nothing but the open sea. The coast is
low, and the mud flats, which extend for
mile*, make landing almost Impossible.
The tides are high, and should-the au
tumn w nils be as as they are
nearly every year, mor. than one of the
foreign vessels will find its last resting
place on the mud fiats of Taku.
A Vast Marsh-
From Taku to Tien Tsin the country Is
a vast marsh, which ilie natives have at
tempted to render fit for cultivation by
draining It with numerous ditches, but
as the river is easily navigable to Tien
Tsin by the gunboat* of lighter draught,
the troops will likely be taken to that
point for disembarking. It would be folly
for them to land at Taku and attempt to
go by railroad to Tien Tsin, owing to the
danger of the rails being torn up. And,
though the distance Is only twenty-seven
miles, it worlfd he madness to try to
march over the territory, for It Is well-nigh
Impassable, because of its marshy nature
and Its labyrinth of ditches.
It Is unfortunate In the extreme that
tne relief force under Admiral Seymour
was forced to turn back from its attempt
to reach Pekin. In their early stages
Chinese uprisings rarely Include any very
large proportion of the population, there
being always many who wait lo see
whether a demonstration shows signs of
being successful before taking sides; the
turning back of the relief force has un
doubtedly resulted In a great addition to
the Boxer forces, and this will render the
ultimate relief of Pekin much more diffi
cult. Then, too, the Chinaman Is a fatal
let ,and a t redeatlnatarian of jhe most
pronounced type, Being led in such
movements by fanatics who claim te have
rendered themselves immortal and to be
able to extend the same immunity from
death and wound to their followers, they
fight with the greatest bravery and des
peration as long as they appear to be win
ning, and there could, of course, be no
greater proof of the efficacy of their
charms and incantations than their suc
i -ps in turning back the relief force.
Many whe have been doubtful will now
feel satisfied, therefore, that it is really
tlio great movement which has long been
expected to sweep the foreign devils Into
the sea.
For this reason the troops which lead
in the new movement toward Pekin may
expect to encounter some of the fiercest
and >,;ost desperate opposition European
forces have ever encountered.
But the Chinaman is quick to see when
the tide is going against him; he is al
ways looking for some sign or omen in
dicative of the favor or disfavor of the
genii. When he secs a few of his ‘‘im
mortal" leaders laid out cold he quickly
loses faith in the charms on which his own
safety depends and acts on the ancient
Chinese proverb which duplicates the Oc
cidental saying; "He who fights and
runs away may live to fight another day."
When this spirit once possesses a Chi
nese army" you could not get 10,000 of them
to stand against a hundred white men.
Must Be Got "on the Ron."
Here is where great loss Is likely to re
sult from the exercise of too great cau
tion. A Chinese army once in retreat can
be pursued with perfect safety, if only it
is closely followed. In fact, as leaders
in retreat, the Mongolians are in a class
by themselves, and it is only when the
pursuit Is so long delayed that they dis
cover some new omen or charm on which
to pin their faith that they can he per
suaded to make another stand. The re
lief force under Admiral Seymour made
the characteristic British mistake of tak
ing the hardest way. The system of fron
tal attacks which proved so disastrous In
South Africa was straightway repealed
before Pekin. The country west of the
Bel Ho Is full of swift and treacherous
streams, and 4h whole plain Is a big
swamp. It ttauld be almost impossible
to march access it without opposition, yet
the relief force started out across It over
the railroad whose destruction was known
to be one of the main objectives of the
ho* tiles
It was preposterous to suppose that 2.909
men could protect eighty miles of rail
road running through an unfriendly pop
ulation of 8.000.000 or 10,000.000, so when the
relief forces reached Liang Fang, half
way between Pekin and Tien Tsin, they
found the railroad destroyed ahead of
them, their communication cutin theirreax
and themselves literally smothered tn the
mass of people about thorn. The Chinese
cart road from Tien Ts4n to Pekin fol
low* until a short distance below Tung
chow, where It turns west to the capital.
The proper route for the relief force to
have taken was to go by boat! up the
river to Tung-chow. Disembarking there,
they would only have had to march twelve
mile* west over easy ground to reach
Pekin.
_ It, bowrer, th oppoiltlon wu too
strong or the fighting too severe to make
the attempt In boats, then the forces
should have marched up the east bank of
the river, along Which a low, but contin
uous watershed runs; thus for the whole
march they would have had the river be
tween them and the Boxers, who were
busy tearing up the railroad.
Chinn’s Rad Ulster,
The relieving force suffered from lack
of water, and this is one .of the greatest
dangers to be encountered in campaign
ing in China. The country has been so
thibkly populated for so many centuries
that it ia one vast graveyard, and the
graves are not made by interment, but by
setting the coffin on the ground and heap
ing the earth up around it. Then, too,
there is no system of sewerage or drain
age, except Into cesspools, which often
stand almost alongside the wells that sup
ply the various communities. The w’ater,
therefore, is always reeking with the
germs of typhus, tyhoid, and that fear
ful oriental dysentery that makes living
-keletons out of the strongest men in a
few weeks. The Chinese only manage to
escape these epidemics by boiling al! their
water and drinking it hot, and the troops
■ampaigning in China must follow this
-ame plan, unpalatable though the water
may taste when so treated, or they -will
’ose a hundred by the dread disease men
tioned for every man that is lost In
fighting.
Quarantine is unknown in China, and
it is common to see men all broken out
with small-pox lying along the streets.
The Chinese regard small-pox much as
we do chicken-pox, as something that
everybody must have; in fact, among
them, measles is much more feared.
The troops moving in China at this
season will find the country full of the
fiinest and many will doubtless
yield to the temptation to sample the
numerous greens and vegetables, but let
them beware, for the method of fertilizing
the fields and gardens is such that all
green things are poisoned with the same
germs that taint the water. Asa rule
vegetables and fruits are safe to eat in
China after they have been thoroughly
cooked.
It will be particularly trying on troops
who have been serving in Cuba, the Phil
ippines or India to be transferred at this
time to North China. The Tainy season
there is over by the last of August, and
the falls and winters are dry and cold,
while frequent storms of wind sweep the
plain and raise such clouds of sands and
dust that traffic Is stopped. These sand
storms have played no unimportant part
in the history of China. Both the Mon
gols and the Manchus, being northern
men and accustomed to them, have reaped
great advantage from them, more than
once successfully attacking the southern
Chinese while the storms were in pro
gress; the stinging sand and gravel of the
storms demoralizing the southerners ut
terly.
Winter In North China.
Frost comes about the middle of Octo
ber, and about the last of November the
steady cold sets in and freezes up the
river which stays closed until the last of
February or the middle of March. There
are no snows to amount to anything, a
few flurries, perhaps, which amount to
six inches, say, Jn a whole winter. The
mean temperature for the winter months
is not much over 20 degrees. It seldom
warms up enough to thaw, while it fre
quently drops to near zero, so the men
will need generous supplies of warm
clothing and bedding.
Most of the troops now going to North
China will doubtless have to winter there,
for It is unlikely that quiet will be re
stored before the closing of the river in
November, and after that It will be Im
possible for them to leave the country
before spring. The wintering of such
forces about Pekin will be a difficult prob
lem, for there are no decent camping
places about the city. They might be
placed on the top of the city wail, which
Is fifty or sixty feet wide and veil paved,
but to keep the troops In the city would
only be to irritate the people and endanger
the health of the men. In the hills about
ten miles north and about fifteen miles
west of the city, however, there are ex
tensive temples which arc used as summer
resorts and stopping places for pilgrims,
and these structures would make excel
lent quarters for the tfoops. There, too,
are magnificent springs which would furl
nlsh an ample supply of the beet water,
and the coal mines at the foot of the
hills would give plenty of fuel. A short
military road across the plain would place
them in close touch with the capital.
So 114 tie Interest has been taken in China
by this country thaf an adequate map of
It is not to be found in the United States;
even the War Department has no map of
value, and has been at a loss lo know
what provision to make for our troops
that were being sent there. It is amusing
to read that the transport Port Albert
carried 100 mules to Taku, when North
China's mules are probably the largest
and most plentiful to be found in the
world.
Much of the hostility toward foreigners
that has been displayed in the present
outbreak has been due to the harshness
of the fereigrers tn dealing wdth the Chi
nese, particularly that of the German In
Shantung, and unless great care and con
alderntlon Is shown toward the non-com
batants the occupation of Pekin, instead
of bringing quiet, will Inflame the whole
empire. The Chinese are not savages,
nor even barbarians, and. while their cus
tom* and manners may seem peculiar to
•as, It should be remembered that they
have been In force for many centuries
longer than ours have prevailed. Their
prejudice* and superstition* must be re

GRAY GOOSE TALES.
The Gray Goose Gander Saved a
Gobbler's Life.
One of the best friends I ever had out
side of my own flock of geese was a tur
key gobbler. He wasn’t hatched on the
farm, but the farmer traded four hens for
him and brought him home In a box. We
had other turkeys, but they gave the
stranger a cold welcome, and neither the
geese nor the ducks had much to say to
BUT WE WENT OUR WAY.
him. It was tor this reason, and beclause
I thought him a pretty sensible fowl, that
I showed the gobbler around the farm and
gave him all the information I could. I
soon found that he was only two years
old, but he knew more than most old
ganders. He had kept his ears open and
heard a great deal of talk, and we were
soon good friends.
You, perhaps, know that a goose passes
most of her time swimming about on the
.pond or paddling in the mud after young
frogs, snails and roots, while a turkey
never goes near the wafer except to drink.
I offered to teach the gobbler how to swim
but he was afraid to try It, and so, to
keep him company, 1 had to be on hand
a great deal. The turkeys, geese and hens
poked fun at us for being so much to
gether, but we went our way and paid Ut
ile attention to them. Once or twice, ae
I returned to the pond after a walk, a
young gander cried out, "Gobble! Gob
ble!" to make fun of me, but after I had
cufTed his head with my wing a few times
he had no more to say.

The question answers itself; It l 3 he

Twenty years of constant study and
practice in the treatment of one class of

complications, has enabled me to win th
reputation which I have ar.d has given
me, the enormous practice which, 'or
more than ten years, has been greater

If I had not been able to cure, I could
not have constantly increased my prac

of my patients are those who have been
given up as "hopeless cases" by other

have duck for Thanksgiving, turkey for
Christmas and goose for New Year’s. As
I had become old and tough I wasn't
afraid of being served up. but when Christ
mas day was only a week off I heard some
news to make me feel sad. I heard the far
mer say that he would kill my friend the
gobbler for that day and that he was fat
enough to make fine eating. I lost no time
in telling the gobbler what I had heard.
He was dreadfully upset about It, as you
may believe, and he could hardly stand up
as he said:
"Yes, I know I am plump and fat, hut
I don't want to furnish a Christmas din
ner for any one. Tell me how to escape "
He could tjave gone away from the farm,
of course, but if he had someone else
might have killed him, or he might hive
furnished a dinner for a fox. I told him
to keep quiet and wait, and he promised
to obey me—l knew he would not ba
killed until the day before Christfnas, and
after he got over his first alarm he walk
ed around as before and no one suspected
that he had heard anything. Two days ne
fore Christmas I told him it was time to
carry out our plan. I went with him lo
the cellar beneath the barn, which was
a pretty dark place, and saw him safely
hidden behind an old box. I could bring
him food, but it was a. warm, safe place
and he would not suffer for two or three
days.
The next morning the farmer's wife
was out looking for my friend. When
she could not find him she called her
husband and sons, and they searched for
two long hours. Then they said the gob
bler must have been carried off by a fox.
and they killed another In his place. Not
till the day after Chriatmas did my friend
come out, and when the farmer caught
eight of him he shouted to hie wife:
"Hey, Mary, but there's that mleslng
gobbler as big as life! I’ll bet the old
gray gander put him up to hide away
to save his neck! Well, he’s too late to
eat him now, but he'd better took out
for next year!"
