Davidson Farmer Successful With
Alaska Wheat.
Last year an article was publish
ed in the Saturday Kvening Post
about tbe wonderful Alattka wheat,
stating that the wheat would pro
duce f0 to 100 bushels to the acre.
Later, by investigation, it was pub
lished that the statements about
the wheat were untrue. However,
('apt. W. Cockreham, a citizen liv
ing near Thomasvillc, invented
about t'M for a bushel of tbe wheat
for an experiment. In bis vicinity
Und ia very poor and yields about
six bushels per acre. He sowed
this wheat ou ordinary land. Iast
week the acre crop was thraHhcd
and made fifteen binthels of beauti
ful wheat. He states that be be
llevea if this wheat is sowed in
good wheat ground it will easily
vield fifty bushels per acre. He in
tends to sow bis entiie crop this
fall with this kind of wheat If
this wheat meets with his expects
tions it will be a great help to the
farmers in this vicinity, for instead
of a 10 or 12 bushel yield per acre
he will harvest from 40 to fto mum
els. Kxperimenta with this wheat
in this section will be watched very
closely.

K:v. titxn. I. STt VKSH, who left
Monroe lat fall to do niumninarj
work iuChiua, writes to Our Hutu r
from Buchieu, May "-'lh:
Yon have beard that foot bind
ing ia dyiug out in China, but if
you were here yon would see plen
ty of it. Nearly all of tbe woiueu
bare very small feet aud walk with
a great deal of difficulty. Try to
walk on your heels, not letting
your feet touch tbe ground, aud
yon will know something of how
these women look and feel. The
children of christians are not foot
bouud, of eonrae, and there ia s
strong sentiment aguiust it among
others, but it is still practiced very
much. There is more of it among
the better classes. It is rather a
sign of respectability. They fear
that without small feet the girls
will not be able to get married well,
for who wants a girl with big feett
Some have almost no feet so that
they hobble along almost pitiably,
but tbey are considered beautiful.
Yesterday I beard tbe music of
a marriage prooeaMon and stopiwd
in uiy study to get my Chinese
teacher to tell me about it They
may not see each other before the
marriage as theeugagement is made
by the parents or a middle man.
Uften the marriage is spoken while
they are very small children. Mrs.
Tatterson tells me she bas acted as
"middle man" for one couple. She
visited the girl and asked ber all
the uestious she could think of,
finding ber satisfactory iu every
way with this exceptiou her teeth
were black, tin inquiry she learn
ed that this was uo ground of ob
jectiou, so the match was made ami
turned out well.
There is a man here at Sncliieii
eighty years old who has never let
his beard grow. A beard is honor
able but be has not allowed his to
grow because he bas no son. His
ouly daughter, forty years old, has
never been Bpoken in uiarriue He-
cause, she bas no brother to escort
her to her mother in law's house,
her future home. This is the Chi
nese custom. The women me not
counted much. Girls are not wel
comed as babies. Often they are
thrown out to die. Women do not
eat at the same table with tlie men
but wait until the men linUh.
Also the men and women sit in
separate apartments In church.
There is a partition dividing them,
so arranged that both can see the
preacher. Ilesides the Huudiiy
school teaching aud preaching,
there is a special service for wom
en every Sabbath afternoon as well
as a mid week prayer meeting.
Then the lady workers, the mis
sionariea, visit from house to house
teaching the Bible and catechism,
Iast week five women from the
country came in and stayed nearly
a week learning "The ay." 1 hey
aiue from ten to lilteen miles ou
wheelbarrows.
Sneaking of this reminds me of
some of tbe bard tilings women
here have to endure. They come
in from forty and fifty miles iu the
country bringing sick women ami
children to Mrs. l'atterson for treat
inent. Mrs. l'atterson is a medical
missionary. Every day I see the
wheelbarrows standing out in front
of the dispensary. If the patient
is too sick to sit up they set a large
basket on top of the Iwrrow and
make the bed in it. Sometimes
they are brought from twenty to
thirty miles with all kinds 01 ter
rible diseases, the native doctors
know very little. Tbe needle is one
of their favorite remedies. The
evil spirits cause the trouble. By
sticking a needle lu tnrse spirits
are let out.
You may be interested to know-
how tbe lady missionaries work
here aud with what success. At
Suchieu there are five ladies, three
married and two single. The lat
ter are Scotch ladies supporting
themselves but working In connec
lion with our mission. Their work
a teaching the women and chil
dren. This they do in prayer
meeting aud Sunday school, as they
visit the women in their homes
and as the women come to their
homes, thev talk to them, teach
them to sing, pray with them and
comfort them iu their troubles.
Mrs. Patterson has five children
How can she do anything! In the
mornings she teaches the children
in tbe afternoon she is iu the dis
nensarv working hard with the
sick, and visiting some, too. All
tbe women here are working cam
estly and effectively in the Master's
vinevard.

1 if you dou't slow up in
work
Mrs. rattersou was the first for
eign woiuitu at Suchieu. She bas
been telling me some of the trials
and hardshiji of the first days
here. Mr. and Mrs. l'atterson, Mr.
Sjdensticker and Mr. (irier ened
the station here in l-V'.l. They were
not able to buy proierty and so
had to live in a Chinese iun iu the
rough part of towu and preach in
the same place. Their coming was
opposed very bitterly by the lead
iug citizens of the place. When
they went to walk for exercise boys
and men threw rocks at them and
for days and mouths rocks could
be heard falling iu the yard day
and night. Mrs. l'atterson went
out iu her chair one day to see a
pal lent. While she was in I he house
a mob gathered and Is-gau pulling
loan the door, ruially the fneuds
told her it would be U-ller for her
to start 011 home, which she did.
lie curtains were pulled nil the
hair and rocks were thrown at her
but lie got houie without injury.
After three years they were able
o buy a piece of proa-rty but the
itucuH, when tliey I ear mil that
the purchase had Utii made, weut
to the official ami bad a deed drawn
11 at a date prior to theirs aud of
licully wealed so the Heller had to
give back the purchase money.
Ijiter 011 they were able to buy
and the work has Im'cii making
gradual progress. Since the fam
ine the way has cleared up consid
erably. We have a girls school
with twenty live pupils and a boys
school with alioiit titty. At pies
ent a new building is being erected
for the Inns' school to accomiiio-
lale a good imiiiy more boys, and
Mr. Mct'utchau is here studying
1 lie language, (o take charge of it.
Then there is the woman's dispen
sary which I have already tqiokeu
of, and a hospital for men. Many
attend the hospitals dally ami the
oxiiel is preached to them as they
wait, and portions of the Bible sold.
n this way ninny friends are made
and the glad tidings spread.
In ll'oo there were seveu mem
Ihts of the church at Sucliieu; now
there are sixty-five. Then there
were two out stations, now teu;
then one native helper, now eleven.
Then there were ten thousand pa
ienta a year; last year there were
wenty thousand. A few weeks ago
thirteen were baptized in the
hurch here, the largest ininilicr
ever received at one time. In all
there are now aliout one hundred
and seventy -live. Last Sunday
there were IS at Sunday school.
There are still many difficulties
11 the way of believers aud some
ippositiou, but 110 open hostility.
False reports are often spread
abroad about the foreigners. Kor
instance, during the famine season
the provisions were in the hands of
the missionaries. They made it a
rule lo give work such as they
ould to Chinese as they led them
(mm day to duy. luitc a iiuiuIk'i
of women were employed iu mak
ing small dolls with left over ma
terial to sell on the streets here and
perhaps iu other countries, just to
givo tlicm employment as nicy
waited for food. Some one started
the report that these dolls were
being made to send to America and
there they turned to soldiers and
would come back to light against
tbe Chinese. The merchants in
town refused to buy on account of
such reports and this bad to tie
suspended at once.
Mrs. Vinson visits among the wo
men a great neat, mere is one
group of young ladies living close
together that sue has neen teacn-
uil'. Tbey come to services ami
are inquirers. She goes to their
homes. The mother-in-law 01 om
of them Ikkhcs the ranch and is bit
terlv opposed to the (losiicl. She
has been saying evil things alwnt
the church and doing all she could
to prevent their coming. It turned
up the hint time she was teaching
them that they hail bceu deceiving
the old lady, telling her they were
going to some other place when
thev really were coming to preacn
iug. Tbey seemed to think that
just one little lie would not hurt,
but Mm. Vinson told them that it
would do no good for them to study
the Bible aud catechism and tell
and live a lie at the same time,
that they must not fear man more
thau tlod. Tbey are still coming.
Yon would no doubt like to ask
me something alsjut the Chinese
christians. Are they faithful! lh)
they stand fastt It would seem tin
necessary after the wonderful testi
mony of the thirty thousand who
gave np their lives in l'.MH) rather
than deny their Lord, but instances
of faithfulness in life and service
are interesting and inspiring. They
are not rare among tbe Chiuese,
A Chinese doctor makes enough
in half bis time to support his fam
ily and gives the other half to
spreading the Gospel.
A man in one ot the out stations
of this field was so opium smoker,
so bad that be smoked at night
He also was accustomed to fuss
with and beat his wife. Now be
holds family prayer and ia an earn
ne ( the aouien heard the

(iil and la-Iirved. Her hualand '
foilude l.er attending services
ben he heard of it aud told ber
he would lieat her if she went
per as uual, and tried to do ber
duty faithfully. Tbe follow ing Sab
bath she went again. Ou her re
turn she was given a banter beat
ing which she lre and went on
with her work. The next Suuday
he Is-at her so hard when she re
turned that she could not work for
several das, but she went again
uext preaching day. He decided
he would go too and see what it
was. As the men and women are
separated be knew that she would
not know of bis preeeuee. lie
heard and saw there was no harm
iu it an he weut agaiu aud is uow a
christian himself and bis family.
There are no doubt many husbands
in the home land who would be
mightily moved by such faithful
ness on the part of their wives.
The (iosjM-l is still the jKiwer of
'od unto salvation fur the Chinese
and for the whole world. The dif
liculties over bete are many. On
the one hand there is much ignor
ance and superstition, on the other
there is a great deal of pride, na
tioual and intellectual.
I am face to lace every day with
an anient Confiicianist. He be
lieves that Confuriiis was a good
man as well as Christ, so he burns
incense to his tablet and worships
his ancestors. He is too proud to
walk out it h me t hroiigh the town.
There are many such here and all
over this vast empire.
I will close with this thought: It

THU LAWYUKS ARRAIGNED.
have Done Nothing to Expedite
the Administration ol Justice,
But Rather Retard It.
clirl,ittKOI,i-rviT,
In an address Is'fore the State
l'.,tr Association of Illinois at its
animal meeting recently Mr. Hiram
T. (iilbert put these questions to
the Illinois members of his profea
siou :
"What have the lawyers of Illi
nois done within the !o years
which have elapsed since the or
gaui.atiou of the State government
for the improvement of the admin
istration of justice! What have
thev doi.e lo advance the interests
of liticants. to secure justice to
poor persons, to expedite tlie trans
action ol business, to simplify
methods of procedure, or to aid iu
the proper ami prompt enrorce
inent of the criminal laws! l'rac
tic-ally untiling."
This is a severe arraignment.
Are we to suppose failure 111 duty
y the average member of the most
honorable profession of the law
much worse in Illinois thau any
where elite! It can hardly be so,
Kor one thing, there is always i
contest between the law -makers
and some of the law practitioners.
As soon as a remedial act is passed
by the law-making power it is ex
amincd and studied for the pur
pose of ascertaining how its effect
may lie nullified, and new schemes
are devised for making it ineffect
ive. This bas been the case ever
since there have bceu legislative
bodies, courts and lawyers. The
law ImmiU are lull of instances of
the kind as far back as the reign of
the Tudors iu Knglaud, when there
ticgun a constant light lHtween the
Parliament and the religious Dod
ies over the undue acquisition of
laud and other property by tho lat
ter. Kvery statute enacted ou this
subject would lie circumvented by
a new sch"ine, culling for addi
tional enactments to I met by oth
er plans for evasion of the law.

course of erection for about twenty
jaix years, aud this week work was
to have been begun on completing

While the fire was going on there

and colored, this to tie used in re
building the church. Yesterday
the church officers began tbe work
of securiug more funds, aud last
uight the report made was that
over 1,3(0 had been given by IU1
eigb citizens for the rebuilding.
the church officers held a meeting
last night aud decided that tbey
would begin to rebuild immediate
ly after they receive the iusurauce
money.
The heroism of the Jews iu re
building tbe great walls of Jerusa
lem was not unlike tbe heroism of
the members of SL Paul's A. M. K.
church, in erecting their splendid
temple of worship. The beautiful
and stately edifice that was burned
to earth Monday night was a glori
ous nionuiueut to the heroic self
denial of h und ret la of toiling col
ored christians, aud its total de
struction by devouring fiamca was
the most immense and crushing
tragedy that ever befell tbe uegroes
of tbe capital city. For thirty
years this imposing church had
been on tbe hearts or the colored
people; for more than twenty live
years it had been iu actual course
of construction. But a few days
liefure the structure was incinerat
ed the final contracts had been
awarded for its eutire completion,
this consisting of a steeple and the
siilMtitutiou of slate for the shingle
roof.
Thirty years ago ltev. It. H. W.
Leak, the spiritual guide of the
congregation of this church, con
ceived the plan for evoking from
the hearts of bis iteople a suitatiie
place of worship, and he looked far
mto the future 111 arranging tne
lecilicatioiui. The temple was to
be an houor to his race ami a in
ting place for the glory of the Lord.
In is'- he lauuctied tne movement,
his followers, all poor folks, enter
ing into the enterprise with a zeal
and determination mat was not
simulated or affected, but had the
strength of their souls behind it.
Within two years the pastor bad
purchased the site and in ISM the
corner stone was laid.
Then came tbe memorable strug
gle, perhaps unparalleled in the
history of the colored churches of
the State. Only two niemliers of
the congregation had an income
above their actual living expenses,
many having large families to sup
port. There were solemn and sa
cred meetings at which the mem
bers pledged themselves to sutwiBt
uKii only bread and molasses, aud
to contribute every penny in ex
cess of the cost of these meager
necessities to the building fuud of
the church. It was a common, but
nevertheless imposing and pathetic
sight to witnees young and aged
washerwomen, nurses, cooks and
chambermaids rise at these strange
ly moving assemblies and promise
sums that meant sacrifices which it
is difficult to understand, taking
the very garments from their backs
and tbe food front their mouths so
as to be able to keep inviolate
their pledge to the Lord, to pre
sent the money they subscribed,

Imiftt a mile along tbe Shore road
at the foot of the i'alisadea jester
day afteruoou to bring succor to
bia uiite year old brother, Alfred,
who had bee 11 shot iu the neck,
body aud leg by the same mysleii-
ous maiksiuau who wounded him.
Tbe last half of the way tbe hoy
crawled ou hands and knees.
Tbe brothers were returuing
along the lonely road from a swiiu
iu the Hudsou at t :'!' o'clock,
when two shots were tired appar
ently from the top of tbe Palisades.
illiam, who was Bligiitty iu tne
had, fell to the grouud at tbe first
shot, screaming, "I'm killed!"
At the second shot, Alfred, who
was runuing toward bis brother,
dropped to tbe grouud, wounded
in the neck, shoulders aud left leg.
Wheu he saw his brother fall,
William shipped bis screams,
which must have been beard by
the person who fired the shots, and
dragged himself over to where Al
fred lay. Calling mm by name,
William shook the inert body and
tried to discover some sigu of con-
sciousuess, but Alfred lay qilici
auil white-faced.
Believing Alfred was dead and
that be was about to die, William
lay beside bis brother's Issly. How
long be could uot tell later, when
he was being cared for in the North
Hudson Hospital, but suddenly he
noticed a slight pulsation in bis
brother's baud, which he had tak
en in his.
"I knew then that be was alive,"
William told Dr. Cross in the bos
pital, "and that 1 must go and
bring help liefore he bled to death."
Struggling to his feet. William
started out on his journey dowu
the Shore road. A buckshot bad
struck bim in the lace, mutilating
his left eye; others had strurk his
left hand, tearing off the thumb
and forefinger and breaking sev
eral bones. Tightly clasping his
wounded hand with the other,
William staggered forward a few
bundled feet aud fell to the ground.
"1 wanted to lie there and die,"
said he, "but my brother's face
seemed to stare down at me every
time I closed my eyes, and I bail
to go on. The paiu was awful, and
eveiy time I tried to walk my head
got so dizzy I fell down again."
The last half mile of tbe jouruey
the boy completed by crawling on
hands and knees. When he reach
ed Boulevard road and Baldwin
avenue he fainted and knew no
more until be was revived by Po
liceman James Wholey of the ee
haw ken police.
His first words on regaining con-
lousnees were "3iy oroiuen
My brother!"
In it few minutes be was auie to
tell where bis brother was. The
policeman found Alfred lying iu
the road, and, lilting bim to his
shoulders, carried him to where he
had left William.
An ambulance conveyed the boys
to the hospital, where they were
both put on the operating table,
nd doctors probed for the buck
shot It was found Alfred's inju
ries were much the more serious.
One shot had entered his neck linn
an inch from the spinal column.
Another had gone through the left
shoulder, breaking the collar bone.
The third had pierced the llesliy
part of the leg. He probably will
not recover.
Tbe police are completely at a
loss to understand the ajiootmg.
William Kreshner, father of the
boys, told the police he bad no
enemy who would have done such
cowardly act
