The Clinton New Era, 1898-03-25, Page 3, "o the issLQnary Letter from China, icor ofth ,i1Tew.Bfra : a -•Doting a short stay in paths ago, we had the ea< i e o .teppping into your, office one morning and to greet you face to face, At that time I did not know that I was so soon to sail for China. Thinking that perhaps such a trip Might he of interest to you and your Many readers. I venture to give you a few -stray notes of our trip to the Orient, Very weary and tired from the many meetings which we attended during the last few days of our stay in NOW'York, we found ourselves on Oct. thatt 7.45 p.m. at the depot of the ght'Valley R. R. Takidg our last ve of the many kind friends who ad come to see us offand who had Pared no trouble in planning to make ur farewell one longto be remember - d by their thoughteel and unselfish evotion, in assisting us in the many trifling, but important details, which add so much to the enjoyment and convenience of tr avel. We seated our- se1ves, where, for the next twenty- four wentyfour hours was to be all the space that Mice could call our own, amid the many parcels, etc., that made up our lug- gage. With the last good-byes still zinging in our ears, we retired for the night, and at the morning dawn we were nearing the Canadian border. A smash up of a freight train, during the night, delayed us two hours behind time. To our Heavenly Father went up a_ -song of praise for his care in pre- serving us in the midst of danger. About 9 a,m. we crossed the line by the Suspension Bridge into our own native land. A light shower of snow this morning reminded us of our ex- perience only a few months before, as we were riding through this same sec- tion, for at, that time we were caught in one of the heaviest hail-stoi ms of the season. Passing over the Grand Trunk via Hamilton, London and Sar- nia, we crossed over to Porti Huron, through the famous Sarnia tunnel, of which we saw little. From here we continued our course direct to Chicago, arriving about 10 p.m.; we were glad to be welcomed at that late hour by a friend who stepped up to us as soon as we got off our train. The next day was Sunday, and we were glad of the gest and also of the opportunity of vis- iting one or two of the most prominent places of worship in the city. In the :morning we attended the First Baptist church and heard the Rev. Mr Hansen reach from the text "Lift up your yes unto the heavens," coupled with ohn'4: 35, "Lift up your eyes and look nto the fields for they are already rite unto the harvest." Our visit to e Bible Institute is very worthy of ntion. This church is a very busy tre of Christian activity. The Sun - School was in session, and was missed before we left the building. ea of faces poured out from that 'ding soon to be lost from view. We tided the Bible class for men and en, the room being crowded to door; this class was taught by Rev. Torrey, who was teaching the S. esson for the following Surlday. otter room a class for Christian rkensawas being conducted. For ase of some of your readers I Id say that this church is where oody was pa .r some years ago, still '.he leading frit. 'After a bus' , day on Monday we ere at the depot of the Wisconsin Central at 6.15 p.m., ready to leave for St. Paul, with but one regret, and ,that we did not have more time to spend in this enterprising city of the west. We arrived in St. Paul next morning about 8 a.m., in time to make connections with the out -going train, which , was to carry us over the Soo line ot the Canadian Pacific to Moose Taw, where we changed on to themaie line of the C.P.R. Our train when we left St. Paul was largemade up of number m of Irtourists roughly, but very warmly dressed men filled the passage way, ready to step on board at the first signal. All eitber wore or carried very heavy looking; Buffalo skin coats, and we had them set down as Klon- dykers. About the middle of the after- noon, when ' our train drew up at a Mall flag station in the western part ,, of Minnesota, a large number of these men were left behind, hen it was nots we learned they Were veld,. seekers." At Moose Jaw we were first intro- dnced to our red -skinned brethren on Wednesday morning about 9.45 a.m. They were prowling around the depot with a large quantity ot horns, etc„ in the hope of making a .sale to some of the passengers, who had stepped out onto the platform. They wore red and green colored garments, which t g400seiy-from their shoulders and ere tied around their waist with a -red scarf. The mounted police made themselves very conspicuous at the ditierent stations by their promena- ding up and down the long platform. Our route ran through the Aseina- boia district, and tbere was very little be seen during the day except an oc- caetonal hut, which was built quite close to, the railway track. About 2 p.m. we stopped at a little flag station and thehmost midst vprairie, interestingfeatre of this stop to us was that here we learned the result of. yesterday's election in New York city, with not a little re- pot. As we passed by Crane Lake Tate' in the afternoon, we saw the farm of the Canadian Land and Ranching Company; this is, we learn, tbe head- quarters of the company, and is situ- ated about 220 miles beyond Regina. About 7.45 p.m. we reached Medicine Bae, which was the first place of any site that we touched during the day. This lively little town is in the centre • of a, magnificent ranching district, and has,eburches, hospital and other pub- '' lie buildings.

About mid-day, on Sat - it was lighted up by the moon shining urday, we sighted land and at snnset d Qur steamer anchored. about 80 miles out. Sunday morning we landed at Woosung, about fifteen miles from lSpanghei, We said gogd•bye to our steamer here, as we stepped on the Tender which awaited our arrival to conduct us up the Whangpoo river to Shanghai, the New York of China. The Oanadian Line of steamere can- not come up to Shanghai. as they draw so much more water than the ordinary boats. Sincerely yours, ELIZAI,,ETH IRVINE, Bridgman Home, (West Gate) Shanghai, China. THE EIGHTY WHO SUFFER In" Every Hundred from Catarrh, Have a Friend Indeed in Di, Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, "I was a catarrh victim for many years. Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder has dine me great service. I tried every remedy in the category of catarrh cures without any permanent relief. After taking only a few doses I received great benefit, and in a very short while my catarrh bad disappeared. I am satisfied it is the best, safest and quick• est remedy known forthis malady to -day." Jas. E. Bell, Pauling, 0. 8old by Watts & Co. in all his glory upon it, .This seeme to be one of our Heavenly Father's extras which he gave us on our jour- ney; Hach new experience in thus re• epect makes our lives richer and gives us higher conceptions of Himself. Thursday, Nov. Ott, far up among the mountains the first place we ar- rived at of importance was Banff, no- ted for its pleasure resort and famous hot springs. No part of the Rockies exhibit a greater variety of pleasing scenery and is in the middle of the Cascade range. In this neighborhood is Devil's Lyle, so called from its black colored water. Words are rot ade- quate to convey to you any thing of the beauty and magnificence of the scenery in this mountainous district. At times it was almost terrible as our train seemed to be feeling her way around the great rocks by the river's bank. At times more than half of our train could be seen as she twisted her- self in and out so gracefully around the mountains: One of the most fam- ous gorges we crossed is called the Kicking Horse gorge, and justly de- serves the name. At regular intervals, from the time we began to climb the mountains, there are hotels, managed by the Com- pany, where meals are served in very good style; this is done to save the ex- tra weight of having a dining car at- tached. Donald, a very pr'e:,ty little town, is situated at the foot of the Selkirks. We stepped out on the plat- form and had a good walk while our train stopped to take on an additional supply of water; our eyes rested on a small but neatly finished frame build- ing; above the door was to be seen the following letters printed very clearly— h O. O. F. Going on from here the scenery is, if possible, more wonder- ful. Late in the afternoon we passed through a great number$of snowsheds. It was very fitting that we should be favored by a, very gentle falling snow, which added a new beauty to our sur- roundings. The little evergreens, which abound in this section, present- ed a very beautiful appearance decked in their soft, downy dress; these trees were on an average about two feet high and had sprung up since a recent fire, which had passed over quite a large section, destroying millions of dollars worth of timber. Glacier is another place very worthy of note at which we stopped for a few minutes; there is a very fine building here which serves not only as a din- ing station, but affords a most de- lightful stopping place for tourists; a good view of the great glacier may be had at this point, and also of the great Roger's pass, A short distance below is the Loop where the line makes rriau; startling turns and twists et points. doubling back and forth upon itself for more than a mile, and to us was one of the most interesting features of our journey across the continent. We were almost thankful when even- ing came to shut out our view, for we had grown very weary in attempting` to take in all the curious and wonder- ful works of nature. Two of the most interesting peaks were Cascade and Castle mountains, 4,475 and 4,570 feet respectively. In passing through this gorge we were hemmed in by two al- most perpendicular walls. One moun- tain peak we named Solomon's peak, after Solomon's Temple, because it re- minded ns so much of that remarkable structure. , Friday, 5th, during the night we passed the highest point, and by day- light next morning we were descend- ing the scale. A very fine drizzling ram shut out our best view. Farming seemed to be carried on quite exten- sively the last one hundred miles be- fore we reached the coast. We arrived in Vancouver at 1 p.m., not one minute behind time. Before leaving our train our colored porter ventured to make a few suggestions, having the impression that we were strangers in the place. by asking us if we were of the "Methodist persuas- ion." Vancouver is a young and en- terprising town, and promises to be of growing interest, as it affords one of the finest harbors in the world; tbe largest steamers coming close up to her docks. The air was clear and in- vigorating. As we looked out from the harbor at the sunset across the snow capped mountains, it was a sight never to be forgotten. We were glad to he able to spend Sundey in a very restful way. In the morning we at- tended a very stirring class meeting. with our Methodist friends; later we attended the service in St. Andrew's Presbyterian church. Monday at 1 o'clock we were on our steamer, the "Empress of Japan," ready for our long voyage and what proved to be on the whole • quite en- joyable. As we neared the coast of Japan we saw a good many' whales around our steamer; this neighborhood abounds with these animals. In thir- teen days from the time we Left Van- couver we arrived in -Yokohama, Ja- pan. In crossing the Antipodes we lost one day, and had no Monday that week. We had the opportunity to go ashore in Yokohama and spend the night with' some of the members of our own mission; it was here we caught the first glimpse of Fujiyama, that sacred mountain of Japan, about 70 miles in the'distance. Our steamer was unburdened of quite a large quantity of her cargo at this port in the way of salmon. This is the first time that salmon has been sent across the Pacific from the catch in the Frazer river. This amount was over and above that needed to supply the market for home and European trade. We hastened on to Shanghai, stop- ping a few hours each at the Kobe and Nagasaki. From Kobe we went through that famously beautiful in- land sea, whose waters are the most delicate shades of green. The scenery in passing through this sea is most de- lightfully beautiful. At Nagasaki we took in a large quantity of coal, by means of native men, women and children, who came in large open boats to the side of our steamer lying out in deep water. The method of transferring the coal to the steamer was by means 'of small buskets that held about a peck; a line of men, wo- men and children from the coal boats to the steamer passed the baskets with incredible swiftness, a ton being thus put in in eleven seconds. We learned that Suez is the only other place inthe world where it is handled so swiftly. In a very few hours after we left Naga- saki we were out of sight of that land Which welt' tfesotto% the natiie "The Land of the Rising Sun." . The water soon changed to that of a very muddy color, and this body of , water rightful- ty bears the bathe of the Yellow, Sea, forthat great' ri.tet -of eetitval China,' Canadian Home Circles. The annual meeting of this society was held at London last week. The Supreme Leader, Rev. E. B. Steven- son, B. A., in his annual statement, says that '`the general fund, which was over -drawn to the extent of over $3000 tt the end of 1896, and which over -d 'aft had been increased to over $5000 by the 1st, of April, when all the accounts were in, now shows a credit balance of over $1,600 at the end of 1897, showing that the general fund is in a very healthy condition compared with what it was a year ago. The life expectancy fund has been increased during the year by the sum of $18,000, making that fund now amount to the sum of $76,605, drawing interest. And in the current beneficiary fund there is a surplus on hand of $25,000 over and above all claims. The above state- ment should convince every member of the Order, as well as every honest and fair-minded person, that the Home Circle is on a sound basis, and that the great bulk of its members have confidence in and are loyal to its prin- ciples. During the year 91 of our brethren and sisters have passed to the other world. We have paid to their beneficiaries the sum of $151,910, ne- cessitating a special assessment, which was promptly paid by the members. Supreme Seoretary Foster reports 138 sick benefit claims paid. amounting to $2,- 195, leaving a credit brasna of 5142,26. There bas, however, been a gradual - cline of membership in this department from 429 in 1895 to 341 in 1897. The year was an unusually trying one on the beneficiary department. The death rate was higher than aver before experienced, there being 91 deaths, as compared with 66 in 1896. To meet these claims thirteen assessments were called, a double assess- ment being called to the head office in September. The total receipts in this de- partment, including 51,138.30 interest, were $165,751 (Schedule S.) The total payments were $151,910.0I in death claims (Schedule 8), $2,540 in total disability claims, and to expectancy fund $16,461.54. There were, on Deo. 31st, 1897, ten death claims, amounting to 517,000, unpaid, awaiting completion of papers. There was thus the satisfaction, notwithstanding the heavy death rate, of closing the year with a credit balance in the current beneficiary fund, over and above all claims of $25,188.- 74, which was only $2,160.55 less than the balance at the end of 1896. 900 members have withdrawn from the order, or been suspended, and 904 new members have joined. Of the number who went out the greater number held the higher certificates, and of the non- members the greater number have taken the lower certificates, quite a number being for only $500. The certificates of those who have gone out amounted to $1,396,000, while _the certificates of the new members amount to $1,129,500. There bas there- fore been a net increase of only four new members, but liabilities have decreased by $2,266,500.

It may be that some ladies are not aware of the fact that old hat and bonnet feathers can be made to look as good as new by the Diamond Dyes, those universal home friends. Let us tell you how to do the work "Use tin Diamond Dyes prepared for Wool and Silk that can now be bought from any dealer. Clean the feather by soaking it with strong soapsuds fifteen reinutes,then draw geetly•between the thumb and fore- finger a number of times,and rinse in warm water; dip and re -dip in the dye bath until the desired color is obtained, rinse in cold water, and press gently with the hand be. tween two clothe, to remove the water; new hold before a gontle,.,fire, shaking slightly until nearly dry, then curl by taking three or four sprigs of the feather and drawing briskly between the thumb and back of scissors, and so on until it is finished, Old feathers can be reoolored and made to look like new. To color feathers blsok, be sure to use the Diamond Fast Black for Silk and Feathers, prepared by the makers of the Diamond Dyes;this is the only success- ful dye for o,.loring feathers a riot blank. The British Drink Bill. As already briefly announced in our cablegrams, the London Times of a recent date contained a valuable ar ti- tle on "The National Dr -ink Bill for 1897." The summary dealt with the production and cost of liquor consumed in the United Kingdom, and is ot espe- cial interest to Canadians at the pre- sent time. During the year ended Dec. 31, the drink hill of the United Kingdom amounted to the very large sum of £152,281,723, or, in dollars, $761,108,615. As the estimated popu- lation of the United Kingdom is 30,- 824,503, this was an expenditure for liquors of £3 16s 51d, or roughly, $19 for each man, woman and child in t he three divisions of the kin crdoin. These averages were, of course, purely arithmetical, the actual expenditure, both as to individuals and families, varying from sums relatively small to a iarge proportion of the entire person- al or domestic income. The aggregate cost to the consumers in the year 1897 and 1806 was as, follows:— Cost 1807. Spirits £12,073,015 Beer 93,840,911, Wine 14,267,764 British wines, cider, etc.. 1,500,000 GRIPPE'S LEGACY. Grippe too often leaves behind it a weak- ened heart, shattered nerves and undermin- ed health. Nothing will restore the system to its old-time vigor so quickly and perfect- ly as Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, Mrs John Quigley, 30 Sheriff St.,St. John, N. B„ says:—"Since I had an attack of Grippe, I have been weak, nervous and run down. I doctored with some of the hest physicians, but received no relief until I commenced using Milburn'e Heart and Nerve Pills, which have completely care I me." There is a peculiar libel case on hand at Listowel, The plaintiff is James Ronold and the defendant is his son Robert. The alleged libel consists in circulation of a pet- ition for the incarceration in a lonatia asy- lum of the plaintiff. Itis charged that the son hawked the petition around Listowel, endeavoring to get signatures. In defence of the libel action the son quotes a number of instances of alleged insanity, such as des- troying furniture, knocking down stove pipes, and moat peculiar of all, that ho em- ployed Mr. Blewett as his lawyer, which is of course a big joke on this edteemed and olever disciple ofBlaokotone.

The con- eignment arrived at Kobe in splendid condition and wee quickly snappedqup by the purchaser. It is admitted to be the finest butter which has ever reach- ed Japan., and the manner in which it is appreciated there may be judged by that it sold readily for 85 cents per pound.

This country rightly lays claim to being one of the soberest nations in the world. While in Great Britain the drink hill has been steadily going up, ours in Canada has been steadily going down. Many persons cannot take plain cod-liver oil. They cannot digest it. It upsets the stomach. Knowing these things, we have digested the oil in Scott's Emulsion of Cod- liver Oil with Hypophos- phites; that is, we • have broken it up into little glob- ules, or droplets.

Canada's Railways and Their Cost When a young woman sits down and ponders over her future life, there is one all-important subject which she should not forget. In a day dream she may build castles in the air with a happy home, laugh- ing children and a loving husband in the fore -ground. At that moment she may be facing death. Matrimony and motherhood hold out no happiness to the young woman who suifl rs from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine organists. The wo- man who suffers in this way will be a weak, nervous, sickly, petulant wife, an incapable mother and an unamiable hostess. Not knowing the truth, her acquaintances will not understand that she is deserving of pity rather than reproach.. Any woman may be strong and healthy in a womanly way if she will use the right remedy. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best of all medicines for weak and ailing women. It acts directly ou the de- licate and important organs that make wife- hood and motherhood possible. It makes them strong, healthy and vigorous. It banishes the dangers that surround ma- ternity. It insures a healthy baby and au ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women who were weak, sickly, nervous invalids, are now healthy, robust'wives and competent mothers of healthy children, as the result of the use of this medicine. Mrs. john M. Conklin, of Patterson, Putnam Co., N. Y. Max 104), writes; " I am enjoying u erct health and have been since I took the last the of 0r.

" For the past four yeast my On November 1st, 1897, Canada had 10,687 miles of railways, besides 9s218 miles of sidings. There are 550 miles of double track, mostly on the Grand Trunk. Eighty-one companies control the railways of the country that are not Government lines. The C. P R. has 6,280 miles of line; the Grand Trunk has 3,146 miles; the Government roads 1,398 miles,' and the Canada At- lantic and Parry Sound, 436 miles. The whole is equipped with 2,096 loco- motives, 226 parlor and sleeping cars, 1,085 first class and 683 second class passenger cars, 674 express and bag- gage cars, 37,471 box cars, 15,352 plat- torm cars, and 4,931 coal and dump cars. The roads own 687 grain eleva- tors. Last year the roads carried 16,- 171,000 passengers, ot whom only seven were killed, and 25,300,000 tons of freight, with train runs of 45,780,000 miles. The gross earnings were $52,- 353,000, the working expenses $35,168,- 000, and the net earnings $17,I84,000, equal to about one and three -quarter's per cent. on the nominal net cost of the constructed lines, including share capital ($348,834,000), and public aid of various kinds. Of public money there has beep given, in the shape of subsi- dies, bonuses and loans, no less a total than $207,133,264, or at the rate of over $12.000 of the total nominal cost of $55,241 a mile. The following statement shows the apportionment of cash railway aid contributed by the Government and the Provinces: Government ot Canada ....$155,627,345 Province of Ontario 7,357,116 Province of Quebec 16,672,870 Province of New Bruns- wick 4,500,590 Province of Nova Scotia 2,280,110 Province of Manitoba 2,626,611 Province of British Colum- bia l 87500 Ontario municipalities 12,4207753 Quebec municipalities 4,359,074 New Brunswick municipal- ities 350,500 Nova Scotia municipalities 261,685 Manitoba municipalities 595,600 British Columbia munici- pelities ' 37,500 This is nbt all. In addition to the cash Canada bas given many millions of dollars worth of her choicest lands, valuable town sites, tand exemptions from taxation worth• millions. We are a young people; our population is spread over a vast territory; we are fairly well served by railways, but it cannot to said that we have not gone down in our pockets to pay for it, In round figures we have given about $300,000,000 to railways, or about 918,- 000 a mile of road.
