North’s Vivid Description of
Overland Journey in China.
Chengtu, Sze., China.
December 13th, 1923.
Dear Home Folks:
Here we are in Chengtu at last, and
we have had almost a whole week of
language study already. We reached
her last Friday at about twelve
o’clock, noon, after three and a half
days of hard road travel. I was just
about all in. I much prefer to travel
by boat, but Bill, of course, prefers
the road travel. I like traveling by
road in the day time all right, but
when it comes to stopping at a Chi-
nese inn at night, I would rather be
on a boat.
The last letter I wrote was from
Tzechow, which I mailed on Decem-
ber 4th, the day we left there. I am
ashamed of myself that I haven't got-
ten a letter off between then and now,
but I just haven’t been able to do it.
You can’t imagine how different liv-
ing in China is from living in the good
old U. S. A. Some time I hope to get
used to it, but just now, it seems as
though it takes about all my time and
my patience. Now since we are try-
ing to get settled and attend language
school, too, it is even worse. But I
guess I am just about tired out from
traveling so much, and now thatl
have finally gotten to a place that is
going to be home for at least a year,
I want to do everything at once and
it can’t be done in China. I hope you
won’t think I am complaining and un-
happy. I am really very happy and
well, but just dead tired and a little
bit out of patience with the way you
have to do things in China.
But I ought to go back, now, and
tell you a little about our road trip.
I don’t know whether I can tell much
of what happened. It is not quite a
week since we reached Chengtu, and
yet it seems as though we had been
here for ages; that’s the way time
flies in China.
We left Tzechow on the morning of
December 4th. It was quite a new ex-
perience, I assure you, being carried
by three men, not knowing where they
were taking you, and often-times be-
ing out of sight entirely of any of the
other members of the party. There
were seven in our party, and it took
about fifty men to carry us and our
baggage. We always got together at
noon for dinner and in the evening.
After the first day, when I realized
that the men were responsible for us
and knew where they were taking us
and that they had to get us there, I
felt much easier. But Bill thinks he
has quite a joke on me. One day my
men were so slow that I was getting
way behind the rest of the party, so
I told them “te dow” which means to
put down the chair, and I got out and
started to walk. If you are walking,
they must keep up to you, that’s one
of the rules of the business. So I
started out and walked the fastest I
ever walked in my life, I believe. But
I caught up to the rest of the crowd
and managed to get ahead of most of
them. Bill says he never saw me
walk so fast and thinks it’s about the
biggest piece of work I ever did. We
walked much of the time. It was re-
ally much better than riding. The
men only made about 120 to 140 Chi-
nese li a day, and that is just between
thirty and forty of our miles; in fact,
they seldom did that much in a day.
Travel in China certainly is slow and
tedious. I hope some day they will
have a railroad through to Chengtu
from Chungking.
But I must tell you about the Chi-
nese inns. I can’t describe them to
you so that you’ll ever be able to pic-
ture them. It makes me sick to think
of them now, but at the time it didn’t
seem so horribly bad. Most people
say that the hardship of road travel
is that you have to get up so early in
the morning to start. Believe me, I
was ready and willing to get up at
any time. We spent three nights in
Chinese inns and I didn’t sleep one
good night’s sleep the whole three
nights. I wasn’t afraid of anything,
and the fact that I was in such a
filthy place didn’t bother me so much
at the time, but I just couldn’t sleep.
I’ve been making up for it since I've
been here though. I sleep like a log.
But to go back to the inns. We usu-
ally had the best rooms in the house.
By room, I mean a four-sided place
with ground floor, usually three Chi-
nese beds and one table in it, no win-
dows except a sort of lattice work in
front, if you were fortunate enough
to have an outside room, and we al-
ways saw to it that we had. There is
no privacy in China. As soon as you
come to a town and put up for the
night, the whole village is out to see
you go to bed. No, that is slightly
good sized audience. But we carried
matting along with us so that we
could pretty well shut out the curious.
But then there are always peep-holes
between the rooms, and there is sure
to be an eye at the peep-hole. The
first morning when we were dressing
we happened to discover such an eye.
We didn’t know how long it had been
there before we discovered it. We
never slept on the beds in the inns.
We always spread an oiled sheet over
the bed, placed our folding cot on
that, and had our bed up in the air,
so to speak. I suppose we were not
entirely bug-proof then, but we were
as nearly so as possible. I couldn’t
help wondering what my fastidious
family would think of me sleeping in
a place like that. But that’s life in
China. We didn’t begin to live in
China till we took this road trip. It
is quite an experience, but I am will-
ing to live like a decent being for a
while now. And such sights as we
saw on this trip. It just about did me
up, especially the last morning. All
along the big road we saw the worst
looking beggars, and I never saw so
many blind people in my life before.
One of the men on my chair was just
about blind. He had the sorest eyes
and must have suffered dreadfully,
and yet he was pleasant and cheerful
and one of the best workers of the
whole crowd. I can’t get him out of
my mind, for I feel sure that he is
going blind, and it could be prevented
if he could have medical attention. I
suppose some day he will be a beggar.
Here in Chengtu we see some awful
sights. Of course, it is the winter sea-
son and I suppose that is why we see
so much suffering. The last morning
on the road, as we entered the town
where we had our breakfast (we al-
ways traveled about two hours be-
fore we stopped for breakfast) just as
we entered the city gate I saw a man
lying dead at the gate. I suppose he
had frozen to death, because he was
almost naked. I don’t know whether
I will ever get hardened to these
sights or not, but just now they upset
me dreadfully.
But I'll try to talk about something
pleasant for a while. You can’t im-
agine how good it was to get into a
home again after three and a half
days on the road. Bill and I are liv-
ing in what is known as the Oster-
Eaton house, which is located near
the Methodist hospital in the city.
The Blanchards are living out on the
University campus, which is a much
more desirable location in many re-
spects. But we like it here and have
very comfortable quarters. When we
reached here on Friday, the first thing
we did was to have lunch, and then as
soon as we could we had a good hot
bath. My, how good that felt. It
made me feel like a new woman. I
forgot to mention the fact that we
have a room in this house, and we
take our meals at the Freeman house,
in the same compound. Dr. Freeman
is the Methodist doctor here in Cheng-
tu. That was the original plan, that
wé should live in one house and take
our meals at another house. But
changes have come about, whereby we
will likely keep house with Miss Os-
ter, eating with her and sharing the
whole house with her. The day that
we reached here, Miss Eaton was tak-
en to the hospital, a very sick girl. It
was not known exactly what was the
matter with her, but it acted like men-
ingitis. She was unconscious from
the time they took her to the hospital
and it was feared she could not get
well. But she lived through Sunday
night, and it was then thought she
had a fighting chance. We all felt
very much encouraged and thought
sure she would recover, but at about
three-thirty Monday afternoon, she
quietly slept away without ever hav-
ing regained consciousness. They
had the funeral from this house yes-
terday morning. That was quite an
ordeal for a newcomer, don’t you
think? But I stood it very well, in-
deed, and Bill and I are so glad that
we were here to be with Miss Oster.
She has had a severe strain, but is
holding up under it just fine. She is
certainly a fine girl and we're glad
we are going to live with her. I
never saw Miss Eaton at all. Bill
was over to the hospital Saturday and
saw her and saw her again after they
brought her back here in the casket.
She had been here in China only two
years, but just loved it here and loved
her work. Miss Oster was just read-
ing to us tonight from Miss Eaton's
diary, where she had written that she
would like nothing better than to be
able to die right here in this house,
with such lovely surroundings. The
grounds here are beautiful, and the
porch off her bed-room looks right
out onto the prettiest part of the
lawn. Bill and I are to have her room
now, which in many ways is much
nicer than the one we now have. We
all wish she could have lived. She
must have been a lovely character.
She was overseas during the war
with the Y. M. C. A,, and over her
casket was draped a beautiful silk
American flag which was given to her
by her boys over in France.
SARAH.
Continent Crossed in One Day.
Lieut. Russel L. Maughan, an army
flier, made good his boast of a day-
dawn-to-dusk flight from New York
to San Francisco on Monday, cover-
ing the distance of 2670 miles in 21
hours 48% minutes. Flying a twelve
cylinder Curtis pursuit plane the dar-
ing aviator left New York at three
o'clock on Monday morning and at
4:30, just an hour and a half after
taking off from Mitchell field, he flew
over Bellefonte. The flier followed
the coast to coast air mail route and
made five stops, landing in San Fran-
cisco at 9:48 p. m.

exaggerated, but there is always a
Quigley—Reynolds.—The wedding
of Hugh Merriman Quigley, only son
of Judge and Mrs. Henry C. Quigley,
of Bellefonte, and Miss Elinore Rey-
nolds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam-
uel H. Reynolds, of Lancaster, drew a
large and fashionable audience to St.
James Episcopal church, in that city,
to witness the ceremony which took
place on Saturday evening. The Epis-
copalian marriage service was read
by the pastor, Rev. Clifford G. Towmb-
ley, while George Rogers, church or-
ganist, played the wedding marches
and during the service the choir sang
softly.
The bride was given in marriage by
her father and her attendants includ-
ed Miss Henrietta Quigley, as maid of
honor; Mrs. W. Frederick Reynolds,
matron of honor; the Misses Char-
lotte Appel, Susan Appel, Nellie Ap-
pel, Kitty Lutz, Jane and Margaret
Hopkins, as bridesmaids. The bride’s
gown was fashioned of white satin
brocaded in silver, with a chiffon over-
dress in three tiers, each tier edged
with pearls. It was enhanced with
trimmings of old lace and a lace col-
lar, family heirlooms. Her cap-
shaped veil was held in place with
orange blossoms, and she carried a
bouquet of white roses and lilies of
the valley. The maid and matron
of honor wore gowns of tangerine
chiffon while the bridesmaids were
gowned in variegated shades of blue
with hats of the same hue. Their
{ bouquets were small orange colored
roses and delphinium.
The bridegroom was attended by W.
Frederick Reynolds, as best man,
while the ushers were Samuel Rey-
nolds Jr., a brother of the bride; Philip
D. Reynolds, Charles M. Scott and
Ellis Keller, of Bellefonte; Stewart
Coryell, of Williamsport; Jack W.
Coddling, Jr., of Bethlehem, and
James Q. Horne, of Lock Haven.
Following the ceremony three hun-
dred guests attended the reception,
which was held at the Iris club. Green
and white figured in the color scheme
of the decorations at both the church
and club, white peonies predominat-
ing.
The bride is a graduate of the Ca-
thedral school, Washington, D. C.,
and later studied painting in New
York. The bridegroom is a graduate
of Williams College and spent a year
or longer in engineering work in
South America before locating in
Bellefonte, where he now holds a good
position with the American Lime &
Stone company.
Following a brief wedding trip Mr.
and Mrs. Quigley will take up their
residence in the house on east Linn
street recently vacated by Rev. and
Mrs. T. W. Young.
Barnhart—McKernon. — The wed-
ding of Philip Slaysman Barnhart,
son of Mr. and Mrs. James K. Barn-
hart; of Bellefonte, and Miss Alice
Grace McKernon, of Pittsfield, Mass.,
took place at the home of the bride's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mec-
Kernon, in that city, at eight o’clock
last Saturday evening. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. M. Stephen
James, pastor of the Methodist
church, the wedding march being
played by a trio of well known musi-
cians.
The bride, who wore a gown of
white lace over georgette with a court
train, a veil of tulle caught with or-
ange blossoms, and carrying a bou-
quet of roses, swainsona and lilies o”
the valley, was attended by her sis
ter, Mrs. Walter C. Sutton, of Woro-
noco, who wore a gown of white bro-
caded crepe and carried a bouquet of
orange colored sweet peas. Selden
Heath, of Pittsfield, officiated in the
capacity of best man while the ushers
were Frank Oswald, of Pittsfield;
Walter Sutton, of Woronoco, and
John W. Harper, of Scotia, N. Y.
Following the ceremony a reception
was held at the Pittsfield Country club
where the decorations were southern
oak palms and peonies. Later the
young couple left on a brief wedding
trip which will include a visit to the
bridegroom’s home in Bellefonte.
The bride is a graduate of the Em-
ma Willard school at Troy and the
Russell Sage school, and during the
past three years has been a teacher
in the Miss Mills school. The bride-
groom is a graduate of the Bellefonte
High school and The Pennsylvania
State College, and at present holds a
responsible position as chemist at the
Pittsfield plant of the General Elec-
tric company, and it is in that city
they will make their future home,
Included among the guests at the
wedding were Mr. and Mrs. James K.
Barnhart and daughters, Louise and
Eleanor, of Bellefonte; Mr. and Mrs.
John W. Harper, of Scotia, N. Y.;
Mr. and Mrs. Harry J. Loeb, of Punx-
sutawney; Mrs. Anna Woodcock, of

Morris—Wagner. — Only members
of the two families and a few inti-
mate friends gathered at St. John’s
Reformed church, at eight o’clock on
Wednesday morning, to witness the
marriage of Elliott Lyon Morris, only
son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Mor-
ris, and Miss S. Mildred Wagner, eld-
er daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Y.
Wagner. The ceremony was simple
though impressive, and was perform-
ed by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Ambrose
M. Schmidt. The attendants were
Charles and Miss Anna Wagner,
brother and sister of the bride. The
church was profusely decorated for
the occasion with June flowers.
Immediately following the ceremo-
ny the young couple were taken to
Tyrone by automobile whence they
went by train to eastern cities
for a brief wedding trip. On their re-
turn to Bellefonte they will occupy
the Robert Morris home on E. Curtin
street during the summer while the
latter are at Kennebunk Port, Maine.
Mrs. Morris has planned to contin-
ue her work in the Bellefonte Trust
company until the first of Sep-
tember when her resignation will be-
come effective. The bridegroom holds
a responsible position with the Amer-
ican Lime & Stone company and has
purchased a lot in Bellefonte and will
at once proceed to build a bungalow
thereon as a permanent home for him-
self and bride.
Because of a recent death in the
bride’s family there were none of the
social functions that otherwise would
have been part of the celebration of
the nuptials of two such well known
and popular members of the younger
set of the town.
Thiele—Bobinger.—Garfield Thiele
and Miss Mildred Bobinger, both of
McKees Rocks, were united in mar-
riage at the Methodist parsonage on
Howard street, on Monday, by the
pastor, Rev. E. E. McKelvey.

ship school” which is scheduled for
the week of August 21 to 27 at the
encampment grounds of the Centre
county Pomona Grange at Centre
Hall.
Circulars have been sent out to the
local Granges and other farm organ-
izations to send their delegates to the

Lock Haven Hotel Gutted by Fire.
The Columbus house, at Lock Ha-
ven, was badly damaged by fire, last
Friday afternoon, as the result of a
gasoline explosion in a small build-
ing adjoining the hotel which was oc-
cupied by a cleaning establishment.
The loss to the hotel is estimated at
twenty to thirty thousand dollars. Ap-
peals for assistance were sent to the
fire departments in Williamsport,
Jersey Shore and Bellefonte. The
Undines started for Lock Haven with
their pumper and squad motor, but on
the way broke a cylinder on the pump-
er and at Zion a tire blew out on the
squad motor. The Jersey Shore com-
pany also had a breakdown and the
Williamsport company were stopped
at Avis because of the fire being un-
der control when they reached that
place. The Undine pumper was
brought back to Bellefonte and re-
paired the same night.
Two Men Electrocuted.
Walter Grymkowski and Martin
Matowiski, both of Carbon county,
were electrocuted at the Rockview
penitentiary on Monday morning for
the murder of constable Elmer P. An-
thony, of Palmerton, while he was at-
tempting their arrest after they held
up and robbed James G. Heinzleman,
a Palmerton butcher, of $200 in cash,
his gold watch and spectacles. The
men were brought to the death house
on Saturday morning by sheriff Fos-
ter and deputies, of Carbon county,
making the journey from Mauch
Chunk by automobile in about five
hours. Nineteen minutes from the
time the first man was taken to the
chair the double electrocution was
completed. The bodies of the two
men were unclaimed and were buried
in the penitentiary cemetery.

——The torrid wave was broken by
a succession of high wind and rain
storms on Wednesday, with the result
that the weather yesterday was ideal
in every way. Bellefonte got its full
share of rain, the hardest shower be-
ing just at the noon hour. In Bald
Eagle valley and through the foot-
hills of the Alleghenies less rain fell
but the wind was terrific, blowing
down and uprooting trees more than
a foot in diameter. Bellefonte had a
wind storm about the middle of the
afternoon but no particular damage
was done.

Tribute to Wilson. :
New York, June 24.—When today’s
session of the Democratic National
convantion adjourned it was with a
resolution adopted in memory of
Woodrow Wilson. Drawn by Senator
Glass, of Virginia, one of the former
President’s friends, and introduced by
Mrs. Frank Reeves, of Washington
State, the resolution reads:
“Resolved, That the Democratic
party of the Nation, in convention as-
sembled, profoundly laments the
death of that incomparable Ameri-
can, Woodrow Wilson, whose leader-
ship and achievements constitute an
epoch in the world’s history. In
deepest homage to his memory we rev-
erently invoke his spirit to brood over
the deliberations of this body and to
inspire its activities by the fine sense
of devotion and the clear conception
of patriotism which signalized his
conduct «of the government. His ad-
ministration, so notable for its ac-
complishments in the realm of real
statesmanship, will forever remain a
source of pride to future generations.
American democracy is honored and
American citizenship adorned by the
character, faith and idealism of this
great man. We are glad to exalt his
record and to take inspiration from
the things he said and did.”
