timidly that I thought I should like lo

proposal every one protested energetical

" 'Well, make en actress of her, put In

Hrsamr This Week.
The Baldwin Free Kindergarten Sys
tem Is becoming one of th# educations!
Institutions of Savannah. Two of th* kin
dergartens will open this week and Ihe
third Nov. t.
The Kale Baldwin free kindergarten was
opened In October, IW, by Mr. Georg#
J. Baldwin, and hi* two slaters. Miss
Nelli* M Baldwin of Savannah. and Mia
W. I. McCoy of Soul a Orange. N. J., as
a filling memorial to the useful life of
their mother, whose charity wa a wide
spread as it was unostentatious. Tne kin
dergarten was k>, iled In Yatnaeraw, that
bring the district most In need of such
Work. It was the expectation -of the
founder* that the settooi would [terbaps
number sixty at the wet of the year. At
the end of Ylirce months this number was
attained and during tiie gear, one hundred
and twentyiflve children were admitted
Thu house at Bine and Ann street was
outgrown, and this year the Kale Baldwin
free kindergarten No. 1 has found larger
quartets, in a store house belonging to
me Edison Electric Illuminating Com-
which has been fitted up for the pur
pose on Ann street, near Italian. Th
school will have a large, bright, well,ven
tnated room, which will be steam-heated
whin needed Already a large number of
children navis been entered, and much In
terest shown by the families of the chil
dren. who attended last year.
An Is always Uie case, a Wurk of this
kind will not stand still, and there wrre
a number of applications foe
entrance, made by people whose children
could not be admitted because they would
crowd out those belonging to the district,
ao It was found advisable to open
another free kindergarten Mi the aniMhern
portion of the city. Thla Is the
Kate Ballwin Free Klndergaten No.
2, and Is located In th* first floor of th*
Kings Daughter's Day Nursery. No. 3d
Bark avenue, west. The day nursery
managers offered their rooms for rent be
cause they were very anxious that th*
fifteen or eighteen children under their
charge should have the benefit of kfnder
■ Kartell training. The location wee found
to lie a good one and within easy reach
of many people who would like thetr chil
dren to enter. Thla kindergarten will o©-
ixjtnrmatate fifty children.
Th* growth did not stop, however, and
another claae of cltlgens, whose means
were ample, and who wished kindergarten
training for thetr children, asked that still
another kindergarten should be opened.
Tht# aras found advisable aa It would give
the students In training the expertenen of
working with children from very - opposite
environments and above all would Interest
those better off, through thetr own chil
dren. In the frs* work. This kindergar
ten Is only expected to support Itself, hut
should It do more, the money will be ap
plied solely to Ihe spread of the work end
the establishment of new kindergartens.
It Is to he called th# Phllbrtck Ktntlergar
lesi, Phllbrtck being th# maiden isun* ol
Mrs. Kate A. Baldwin, and will open Nov.
L It wUi be located centrally but the
place haa not yet been decided upon.
A feature of the kindergarten work le
th* classes where students are trained to
become klndergartners. Hast year the
class was limited lo seven and was com
posed of MlssSs Jessie Anderson, Katie
Burroughs, Bell* Darnels. Phoebe H. El
liott. Ophelia D. Pritchard, Clartbel
Spring of this city, end Miss Dydia O.
Mnowdou of VV'ajrrroa*. These students
will finish thetr training June 1. 1901, and
wilt be given diplomas by th Kindergar
ten association. Ax the number of kinder
gartens has Increased th* lltntt of the
junior class, way extended to nine, or *t
the Inskle, ten. ami the students are Mrs.
H. I. Watt of Griffin, Mis* Agnes 3peno#r
of Columbus, Miss Woodward of Mi,,.0i1,
Mlsa Marlon A. Baggs of Athens and
Misses Cssxle Bembert,' Clara Vaughan.
Christie Goer* and Miss Decker nl Savan
nah. with two others who wll! have to be
chosen from several waiting applicants.
Owing to the class being limited, several
applications had to be refused, but It was
judged best to keep the class to the exact
number needed In handing the children of
Bin three klmkergartens. These Mudents
serve as assistants In tho kindergartens
and will be part of the year In each kin
dergarten.
The management of I'w kindergartens Is
In the hands of Miss Msrtha G. Haekue.
Whoe* duties as supervlur Include the
theory of the weak taught to the studmtx,
the siqwrvtslon of each kindergarten and
the direction especially of the Phllbrtck
Kindergarten.
Bhe will be assisted by two graduates of
her former classes, Mias Harriet B Har
der- of this city, and Miss Mattie h.
Palmer of Columbus Both of these ladles
are experienced klndergartners, and will
assume the direction of one kindergarten
Mies Hardee of Kate Baldwin Free Kin
dergarten. No. 1, and Mlsa Palmer of
No t.
Another feature of the work remains
to be touched upon. While the Baldwin
family with the help of the tuition from
the classes, and the Phllbrlck kindergar
ten support the three kindergartens,
there Is still much that can bo done by
anyone desiring to help. Clothing I# al
ways acceptable, and Is given where It
will Mo the most good, and the dally
lunches of irfead and milk that are serv
ed In both free kindergartens are a heavy
expense, and one for which any contri
butions will be gratefully received. One
ne-d only to see Ihe bread and milk be
ing eagerly consumed to realise what a
necessary part of the work It Is that eup
piles the physical, as well as Ihe mental
and spiritual tned* of the children. Per
.ns wishing to enter Ihetr children In the
Phllbrick kindergarten may apply to Miss
Backus. No. 3M Huntingdon street, east;
thosn w shlng entrance to ihe other kin
dergarten* may bring Ihrlr children to
No 1 at * o’clock, Oct 1. and to No. 2
at Ihe aome hour. Oct. S. a* It was got
found practicable to open both on me
same day.

Oa the authority of So undisputed an ex

For this reason, presumably, the cola

this I* particularly true with regard to
piracy—a career (hat In Ihe Celestial king
dom takes the rank of a tecognlacd pro
fession. Indeed, so groitly hr this Ihe
case that there exists In the empire a sort
of private "caste." In which sons succeed
their falters as a matter of course.
Objectors to this prtnclpol are not often
heard of. when, however, they are suffi

need not be more clearly. Indicat’d than
describing It tin the suggestive words of
\V fi Gilbert) as "something lingering,
boiling oil on ll."
It Is not ot all surprising, therefore, to
find that from time lmm--mori.il piracy ha.*
flourished to an incredHdr extent In the
Chine Set*. Its waters. dbowdsd with mer
chant Heels, beating priceless cargoes to
the Wearlern moral. h*v ever proved an
Irresistible bait to the teeming popu'a
lion along the country's enormous coast

The ease, too, with which they have be
come their prey ha* not been without Its
effect in causing Ihe "Industry" to assume
ita tremendous proportions, for no amount
of “policing" can adequately protect so
vqst a sea a* that which washes Cathay
on the south and east.
Among Ihe host of Chinese pirates whole
exploits have been recorded, the most
distinguished-for Ihe extent of his opera
tions and the success with which he con
ducted them - was oiw> Chen-Chiilsing.
Thl* worthy flourished during Ihe early
portion of the seventeenth century, and.
previous lo launching out as a Ceieetlal
Capt. Kkld. had hern brought up In a
Jesuit College ol Canton. Asa prelim
inary lo embarking on this career he pro
ceeded to Japan as soon as he had ar
rived at man's estate. Here he so In
gratiated himself with a wealthy mcrcha it
that be married his daughter.
He was then commissioned by his trust
ing father-in-law to navigate a vessel
for him to Foe-show, where he was di
rected lo dispose of Ihe cargo. On ar
rival at his dr* II nation. Ihe enterprising
Chen followed hi* Instructions, so far
ias the selling of the freight. Then—ln
what one sincerely hopes was a moment
of mental aberration—he applied the pro
ceeds to fitting out a small fleet of pirate
junks.
With these he soon amassed such wealth
and power that he wue able to snap his
lingers at' the Imperial authorities at
I'wkln.
Accordingly, the government there w.u*
compelled to adopt other means lo check
hie depredations Here they were more
successful, for. bribed by the otter of an
admiral's rank In the Imperial navy, the
A| listing Chen Innocently accepted an in
vitation to the onpltal.
As soon as he reached the city he fbal
l*ed how misplaced had been' his confi
dence, for he was promptly thrown Into
prison arid after a long confinement h<d
his career abruptly terminated by an In
terview with the slate executioner. In
his son. Koxinga, however, the family rep
utation was ably carried oil Indeed lo
such power did this chip of the Chen
block attain that In IAQ an Imperial edict
was Issued directing all Ihe Inhabitants
of the coast line lo retire into the interior
as precaution against his depredations.
Two yearn later combined action was
taken against him by the Manchu and
Dutch fleet# at Amoy.
Here, after one of the most sternly con
tested engagements on record, he and his
followers were defeated with heavy loss.
Koxlnga himself, however, made good his
escape, ain I transferred hla sphere of ac
tivity lo ihe adjacent Island of Formosa.
While here he modestly proclaimed him
self ’’King," and contrived lo maintain
hi* sovereignty over the Island until the
dale of hi* death.
And as time went on and China began
to extend her trade with the Western
world sugh stern repressive measures were
ndoptrd that Ihe prevalency of piracy
was considerably diminished. 81111. mer
chant veseels sailing In these waters al

lo courting disaster. Even then the ex
