Father Hennessey was master of ceremonies. .Walter Sullivan and Dan McCarthy were acolytes; Wilder Adams, censer-bearer, and Charles Adams, candle-bearer. The usual music of the mass was sung by the choir under the direction of Mr. F. E. Rebarcr. At the conclusion of the mass absolution was performed by Bishop Kelley. The service was largely attend ed. In the congregation were all of the children of the St. Mary’s Orphan Home. Bishop Northrup of Charleston, who •was expected, did not come, being un avoidably detained by diocesan duties. Wilininsiton'w Mi*t>ion Churoli. 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.

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. Dyspepsia Nervousness uureil.

(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.

Walker. 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. On our farm the people si tv ay* used tg I have been asked a thousand times why I confine my practice to those chronic conditions of disease which other physi cians fail to cure. The question answers itself; It l 3 he cause I am enabled to cure these diseases' Otherwise I should have long ago a c ’ knowledged my inability and given ur> specialty. y Twenty years of constant study and practice in the treatment of one class of diseases, in all their different forms and 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 j than that of ail other specialists in my I line combined. If I had not been able to cure, I could not have constantly increased my prac tice.

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!"
