with a Japanese young lady tbe ether day
my wife said, "I am cerry tbat youdenoi

lady, "we have what la better; we have
larger Bnd liner chtrry blossoms tban you

the Japanese alone ean make. Flowers were
strewn around among the audience by little

essays, eorae In English and some In
Japanese, and also declamations In English
Tbe exercises wcre concluded with an
eloquent Japanese oration by Mr. Oahlka
wa, one el tbe leading spirits lntbeaeclal
and moral movement of Northern Japan.
He spoke el tbe large lrilnence of motbers
In tbe making of the boneon lights of his
tory. Oae el tbe me, hopeful et the present
Indications In Japan Is tbe marked atten atten
tentlen and the increasing emphasis
which Is given te the education and eleva
tion of woman. During past generations
tbe girls of Japan received praetlcally no
education, though It must be said tbat the
women of Japan never occupied a position
as low aa tbat of tbe women of ether Orien
tal oeuntrlta Only in 187 1 the first steps
were taken toward female education. The
colonization bureau In tbat year Bent fire
girls te America for education. These
subsequently roturned and becatne teachers
of girls. But it Is only during tbe last
three or four years that tbe mevement bes
beoemo rnally earnest and general. Asia
usual In tbe case el all reforms, there are
entbuslnMs who advoratetbe wbolesalo In
troduction of western systems of female
education. Such a step would be deci
dedly unwise. But the opinions of tbe best
men of Japan is well represented In the fol
lowing abstract from a public address el
Profesaer Hslnynma, as Riven in ihe Japan
Mail, et June 13th :
JATANESE WOMEN.
He utterly repudiated tbe notion, com cem com
"menly -entertained by foreigners, tbat the
Japanese woman scarcely ranks with a
human being in tbe eyes of Japanese men;
that she is regarded and treated by tbe
strong sex as a mero household chattel,
without any feelings te be consulted or
rights te be considered. ''.She dlsobarges,en
tbe contrary, most important functlens,and
in their discharge ber authority is absolute.
She it la who rogulates questions of dress
and feed in the household, and who on en
gages and discharges servants She Is net
forbidden te Dhew herself in public, te visit
her friends, or te show herself In tbe social
circle, as are the women et ether Eutern
countries. But this is net enough. Her
life has another purpose, at present unful
filled. Tbere Is no question el claiming for
ber an equality or rights with man. The
notion Is uuwurtby of consideration. Tbe
highest aim of a true woman's lite is te be
her husband's friend ; a sincere sharer of
hlssoriew and joys; his faithful counselor,
and, if need hi, guide. This the is net
new. Her husband never take her really
into his conllilenoe. She knows nothing
et his aspirations, his oares, or even his
misfortunes. Sbe is euUlde his life. Her
conversation la Independent of things tbat
concern him most. When he stands in
greatest need et her true sympathy he Is
obliged te listen te some tittle tattle or turn
his harassed ratnd te some petty details el
household management. Ol course it is
net wholly the woman's fault tbat things
are thus ordered. The creed of tbe Japa
nese gentleman has always bean te esahew
reposing confidence In or seeking ceucbsI
el interior Intelligencer. It often happened
in feudal times tbat he preserved rigid si
lence until tbe very moment when it
became nectasary te disembowel himself.
But tbe remedy rests with tbe woman.
Bbe has te qualify herself te be her hus
band's friend. Te this end education is
before all things neeessary ; net merely
education In the abstract science, but tbe
education or tua commeu senses a Knowl
edge et tbe aUalrs of everyday life." This
is in most respects very sound sense.
It Is most Interesting te be living and
laboring in a country tbat la undergoing a
process such as tbls is new. A nation Just
emerged ,rem 'uui,ll8ln ls endeavoring te
put en tbe civilization which it has taken
Western nations centuries te develop, as
nan put en a garment. What will tbe re
suit be T Ridiculous iallure 7 Ne, by no
means. There will be many abortive
t Aorta, many sad disappointments, many
trials and sufferings, many hard lesaena te
learn, but In tbe end tbere will be success.
It will net take Japan centnrles te attain te
a very creditable degrm el oivlllzttien.

The following private letter written by
Lancaster boy, Sergeant Antheny Blanke
meyer, te a friend in this city, will be of
Interest te his many friends :
Fert Kesciu, Mentana Territory,
June 22,1888.
Fkiend Gahvin. I bad Intended wilt
ing you some time sce. but an unexpected
aider te go en speeial duty prevented me
doing se until te-day.
Twe of enr men who had gene np te the
Yellowstone river flehletr were found
dead by one of our scout, and a detach
ment of 100 men was sent out te bring In
their bed lee, and, If possible, capture aed
punish their murderer, who were sup
Dosed te be a psrty of Northern Cheyenne
Indiana, who had been discovered by our
aseuta In tbe neighborhood and were sup
posed te be up te some devilment
I was detailed with the company, and at
10 o'elook en the night of the 23d of May we
started, riding hard all night and until 11
o'cieck next day, when we went into camp,
remalnlnir until dark, when a airaln
took the trail and followed It steadily until
daylight, only getting out of the saddle
long eneugn te aee new rreab the trail was.
About 2 o'clock in tbe morning tbe seuta
told us we would have te ride hard ler two
or three daya before we could overtake tbe
Indiana, as they had a geed start, and evi
dently expected pursuit. I did nut believe
our scouts ; for ten years' service en the
frontier has given me some knowledge of
tbe trail, and I iiad learned trailing with
some of tbe best soenta In the employ of lb
government, and could plainly aee that tbe
tracks were tee fresh for tbe Indians te be
far ahead. Besides this our guides weie
Indians, and of tbe same tribe as these we
were pursuing. It ls notsate te trust them
at any time, for tbey are a treaobereua set.
Se we all kept a geed wateh around, and It
turned out J uat as expected.
About 1 a. in. we were fired en by a
large party of Iedlana from an ambush,
and bad a lively skirmish for a while. Hut
we get the best et them after losing live
of our men. They were killed suddenly.
Peer fellows, they didn't suffer much. As
ler myself I eame near going- with tbem-
my neree being snot under me, and in tbe
fall I had my oeller-bone knocked out of
place, but was net otherwise hurt We
bad te shelter ourselves as best we could
I lay behind my dead horse and keep up
tbe tight until we oeuld drive them out of
their position. It looked dark for us for a
while, for If they could have made any one
or our men retreat I believe we would all
have been msssaered. But we stayed and
fought hard and get the best el them.
Tbey finally retreated, and, after making
seme breakfast, we burled our men and
atsited for borne, for we dared net fellow
them up any lartber,as our previsions were
consumed and weceuld net replenlsh them.
On our way we passed ever the ground
where General Custer and bis men were
massacred, following tbe trail te the Yel
lowstone river and then te the fort. As far
as we have been able te Und out we killed
twenty-seven Indians, but many think
thelr less was greater. Our Indian scouts
ten us at tne beginning or tbe tight, and
tbat confirmed my statement te tbe men
that night that I never saw an Indian that
oeuld be trusted, and I have aeen a geed
many or them.
We had aid and heavy hearts at oemlng
back and leaving five of our oemradea en
tbe battle ground, but it ls tbe fortune or
war and the chanoe of a soldier's Ufa I
hops it is my last experience, for my time
expires In October and as seen as I get my
dlaobarge 1 will hasten back te dear old
.Lancaster and stay there. Ten year's ser
vice in tbe regular army en tbe frontier la
enough for me, and while I have been
strong and hearty all tbe time and enjoy
much of tbe life, yet I feel as if I would
like again te be among my old friends In,
Ij.
With best wishes te all my friends, I re

Peter llJtraninjrer Makes Au Assignment Ills
Sen David 81. the Cause,
Peter Deflenmyer, of Eden township,
made an assignment te-day of his prop
erty for tbe benellt of creditors te Lawyer
William II. Keland. The assignment was
unlocked for, as Mr. Bollenmyer was con
sidered te be a rich man and it caused
quite a sonsatlen. Mr. BelTenmyer'a lia
bilities are estimated at (25,000 and his as
sets wilt roaeh tbat figure, se tbat his eredl
ters will be paid In lull. Wben he retired
from aetlve business some years age he
valued his estate at betwoen (35,000 and
fiO.000.
His assignment was caused through en
dorsements for his eon, David M. Bollen Bellen
myer, coal and lumber merchant at Quar
ry vllle, which tbe latter was unable te
meet. A note for f 1,100 which David bad
discounted fell due en Friday and was pro
tested, and this hastened the assignment,
for the father was endorser en a large num
ber el notes for his son, and he knew tbat
if he was pushed for payment his property
would be sacrificed, and by making tbe
assignment he would get time te reallze en
his property,
David M. is indebted te his father te the
amount of about (30,000, and au execution
was issued by Mr. Keland, assignee, te day
for 10,380, and the property cf David In
Quarryvllle was levied upon. David's
failure, It ls said, was caused through being
unable te collect moneysdueblm. He did
a heavy credit business, and In tbe past few
years sold about (10,000 worth et cesl and
lumber in tbe lower cud, net much of
which ls collectible
David's liabilities will aggregate in tbe
neighborhood or (10,000. Tbe assets are
light and tbe creditors will receive but a
small percentage et the amount due them.

Fourteen people ware burned te death In

will probably die, were) removed te various
hospitals. The beuse wsa a ramshackle.

entranee te It being a narrow alleyway from
the Bowery, In front el It was a fonr-atety
building, en tbe first fleer et which was a
ssloen called the White Elephant" Ad
joining this Is Harry Miner's People's thea
tre In tbe rear or the burned bending,
were two heusjs hemming it In en tbe
Christie street side. In tbls esged-ln build
ing lived about one hundred and fifty pee
pin Each etthe six floors was oeouplod
by a single family, tbe head el whleb was a
tal'e', who made clothing for tbe cheap
wholesale clothing houses and employed
ie te m men, women ana enuaren, in addi
tion te bis own family. In maklnn- ue'thn
.clothlng.Empleyers and employed worked,
ate and slept In tbe crowded rooms of the
dingy tenement The tenants who rented
these apartments were S. Cern, S. Graft,
Klein t Marks, H. Harris and H. Levlne.
About 4!15 o'cleck,whlle all theoccepmla
of tbe building were busily at work, flames
slarted by the explosion of a kerosene oil
stove breke out en the lewer fleer. It had
already gained such headway tbat It was
in full possession of the stairway and
escape by it seemed Impossible. Many or
tbe frightened Inmates, however, rushed
down through tbe flames and escaped te
tbe narrow courtyard, with olethea ablaz
and hands, faces and bodies burned. Six
or them were se severely burned that tbey
were taken te the hospital and may die.
There were Are escapes en tbe front and
rear or the beuse, perpendicular iron
ladders, running down the front and rear
of the building, but before any of tbe in
mates had tried te oacape by them the
flames hsd ascended through tbe house
and were rushing from the windows, se
that descent by the Are esespe was im
possible. One man, already balf-burned te death,
leaped from a fifth-story window and fell,
a mangled mass of Hash and bleed, In tbe
llttle oeuriyard. Oibers jumped from tbe
second-story windows. These escaped with
bruises. A. It. Shelden, manager of the
People's theatre, en discovering the Are,
sent out an alarm, and tbe firemen re
sponded, but when tbey arrived the ilames
already had complete possession et tbe
house, and nothing oeuld be done te save
It, and llttle te ssve Its inmates. Charles
W. Nerman, property man or the PanDln'a
theatre, with several of his oemrsdes, ran
te theroerof tbe theatre, carrying a email
ladder, whleb. tbey stretched ever te a win-
uew or tue nurning Dunaing.
A woman with her hair and clothing al
ready ablaze appeared at the window, and
Nerman called te her te cress ever en the
ladder. She cried baek thst she could net
leave her two children. Nerman tried te
cress ever en the ladder, but tbe flamea
drove him back and he cnuld net save ber.
Afterwards theebarred bodlesol tbemotber
and two children were found In tbe build
ing. Tbree men, however, availed them
selves of tbe ladder and escaped te the reef
of the theatre. When tbe Bremen had at
last drowned the; ilames se tbat they
could enter tbe house, they searched
flour by fleer as they ascended,
and en the third fleer tbey found
the burned bodies of a man, a woman and
a bny, Oa tbe feurtb fleer they found five
bodies te badly bnrned tbat It waa impossi
ble te tell whether they were these of men
or women. On tbe fifth fleer no bodies
were round, but en tbe sixth there lsy en
tbe fleer Ave mero bodies, and they also
were burned se it oeuld net be told whether
I hey were the bodies et men or women.
This made tbirteen bodles found In tbe
building. Tbat of the man who leaped
from the fifth story window inereased the
death list te fourteen, while It ls feared tbat
tbe deaths of seme, II net all, of these In the
hospitals will make this number greater.
While tbe flromen were searching the
ruins, the cry came tbat the reef was falling
In, and tbe crackling of limbers was heard.
The firemen did net desert tbe building,
but ran te tbe windows, where tbey waited
orders. They shouted te Cblet McGill,
who was en the reef or a lower house.
"Walt till I see," he shouted back. He
climbed a ladder and saw the root sagging
In, but he shouted backordersteprop it up,
and tbls was successfully done. All the
bodies had net been taken down, and until
this was done the firemen would net desert
tbe ruins.
Several of the bodies were burned se
badly that they fell apart when moved, and
tbe firemen were obliged te lower them
from tbe windows in nets. The names el
the dead, as far as known, are: Philip
Talepb, 32 years old, who lumped from tbe
fifth fleer.
Mrs Adelia (Jruft, and her two children,
Jeseph, 7 years old, and Cella, 4 years old.
The mether ls the woman who refused te
escape because she would net desert ber
children. Her husband escaped with an
infant child in his arms, and was almost
crszy with grief at tbe less el bis wife and
two ether ehltdren.
The ether bodies are at tbe morgue,
awaiting Identification.
Thn damage te the bulldlnc la about
(8,000, covered by Insurance. The Ies en
tbe Bleck of clothing In ihn various apart
ments is estimated at (15,000. The house
In tbe rear of the deaib-trap waa Didly
burned, and the People's theatre was
slightly damaged by fire and water.
The following ls a list el these Injured :
Rebert Rabluefl, 20 ysarB old, who, while
endeavoring te get out by means el tbe fire
escape, fell and received aevere bodily in
juries. Aalas Spunet, sued 27, of 7fi Ludlow
street, and PalllpTalweagr, of 13 Dolaneoy
street, both severely burned about tbe
body.
Ida Frank, of 1C5 Christie slreet, fell and
fractured her skull.
Nene of tbe bodies have been reeDgnlzad
save these of tbe Qruft family.
TWENTY VICTIMS OP THK PIRC.
New Yerk, Au?. 4. Search for bodies
in tbe ruins of tbe Bowery Are was con
tinued by tbe tlromentbreughouttbenlght.
Tbls morning tbe body of a woman, sup
posed te be Minnie Meyersen, a tslleress of
Ne. 11 Ludlow street, was found en the
ground fleer or tbe burned building under
a heap of rubbish. The flesh was burned
te a crisp and It can only be surmised who
the woman was.
Shortly after tbe finding et this body two
mere bed les,spparemly or men, were found.
One of them had se entirely lest semblance
or human shape as te be mistaken ter a roll
et burned cloth. It was passed by under
that Impression last night.
At 11 o'clock the bodies found tbls morn
ing were taken te tbe morgue and tbe fire
men having overhauled the building from
cellar te root left It in cbarge et the tire
patrol. A squad of polleo.statlonod In tbe
vicinity et tbe ruins to.keep back thecrewds
of sightseers had great dilUculty In kenn
ing tbe throngs moving.
Shortly before neon Lawyer Stern, who
owned the burned building, appeared en
tbe scene and requested tbe firemen te
make anether aearch se as te make doubly
sure tbat no mere bodies are in the ruins.
His wish will be complied with later In tbe
day. Mr. Stern Is making arrangements
te bury all tbe victims of tbe fire at bis own
expense. He says tbat this la the least he
can de for tbe relatives cf the unfortunate
victims.
Inquiries were made of the police te-dsy
for Abraham Schneider, who ls missing.
It ls almost certain tbat he ls among tbe
dead who were taken te the morgue last
night.
A brother of a young tailor named Reu
ben Levlne also made anxious Inquiries of
the police concerning Reuben, whom he
says he baa net seen since tbe fire, The
LANCASTER, PA., SATURDAY,
police believes thai he Is one of the victims,
His death Is peculiarly sad. His wile and
little child ate new en the ocean en route
te Jein him In this country,
The number of deaths by the Are new
reaches twenty.
All bat three have been amounted for
and these three are believed te bave been
wholly Incinerated and tbat net avsstlge
el their remains will be found.
At 12:30 thla morning Sarah Blum, aged
21 years, a native of Poland, died at Belle
vue hospital. There wers seventeen bodies
lying In pine boxes at the morgue at 1
o'clock, Oae of the horrible and unrecog
nizable masses waa Identified this afternoon
s Jacob Frelnbercr, aged 37, el 23 Forsyth
street Three of the wounded and burned
t Bellevue hospital, Michael RublneU,
Philip Turlene and Bernard Rethuian, will
recover.
There are nine unidentified bodies at tbe
morgue, victims ofjlhe Are. Nearly all of
the unidentified bodies are burned beyond
any hope of recognition. Hyman (Jrutt,
the tailor who lest his wife and two chil
dren by the Are, was a pitliul object aa he
went from one black mass te the ethor In
search or tbe body of his wife. He was
sure he recognized It In ene of tbe charred
bodies last night, but a lady friend having
Infermed him tbat tbere were corsets en the
remains, and aa he knew his wife were
none, he sadly concluded thatthe body wss
net hers. He was about te leave the
morgue when a wsgen drove up containing
a body recovered frjm the ruins tbls morn
ing. This he recegnlzsd as that of his
wire. While It ls bcllevnd that all the
bodies have been recovered from the ruins,
It is net improbable tbat the beldea et three
unfortunate creatures still remain amongst
them.

Manhkiv, Aug. 4. Friday altorneon's
proceedings of the Evangelical association
eampmeetlng :
Tbe prayer meeting was conducted by
Rev, A, Seullard, et Treinent It was a
meeting of great spiritual power.
At 2:30 o'clock the people gathered bofero
the stand for the afternoon service, W. F.
Hell, of Lebanon, preached the gospel. His
text Is found In Acts vlll., 21 : " Theu hast
neither part nor let In thla matter for what
they heard ls net right " Simen thought
the gilt of Oed might be bought with
money. I am glad te knew that the rich and
peer must come uponthesame pisiferm be be bo
lero they come te die, vis ; when they onme
before Jesus Chilst te deelde whether
tbey shall go te heaven or te hell.
But this man Simen wanted te speculate.
lie wanted te exebange his geld for some
thing which would bring In something
better. We are In dancoref bsrterlue our
religion making use of It te gain material
things. Members of ene cuureh mov
ing Inte a new neighborhood Jein
the chutch whleb. Is beat for them
from a pecuniary standpoint As Peter
Judged Simen, Ged will Judge us.
Icstesd of speaking or oxterusln, Peter
went right te his heart and said "1 hy heart
Is net right" Msny people build upon
and deceive men by pretensions. Te be is
mero important than te aeem. Ged Judges
us by what we arej for he knows who we
are. Let us learn te Judge as Ged Judges,
ler tbat Judgmeut abides. We are some
times absolutely nnscqualnted with our-
selves. Sometlmes we think we knew
ourselves, until the environment ehaugea
and we forget ourselves. New let
us this afternoon shake hands with our
selves and try te beoemo acquainted with
ourselves. The proudest sometimes think
they are the humblest, the feu'est think
tbey are tbe cleanest But hew are we te
knew our characters ? The proeess of
looking at ourselvos and en oarnest deslre
te knew ourselves. Tbe quostlen Is de
we want te knew out selves as we actually
areT' then oemos the proeess et making
It thorough. We wsnt te knew overy
thing. We must net ref use te leek Inte the
dark corners et our hearts. Yeu must
net only examine the parlor or the
sltllng-roem of your hearr, but take
the broom and water and the brush end
cleanse the foulness, if it exlstr. There are
persons who heve wished te knew them
selves, but when the relleoter of heavenly
light waa turned upon them they said "Ob,
we are as geed aa anyone else," and went te
the throne et Ged a bankrupt. But we
must have standard. Tbat standard Is
net public oplnten,but the Hely Sorlptures.
If our heart Is net light we have no part
with blm. The sermon waa a meat excel
lent production. Rev. Hell ls a olear, for
cible preseher aed never falls te prodace an
Impression. Being comparatively a young
man, he ls pastor of one of the leading
charges et the East Pennsylvania confer
ence.
This sermen was fellowed by n plain,

Tbe Bpoaker showed that every school,

A short altar servlee was bold, after
which A. W. Warfel clesed with a vigorous
exhortation.
The atmesphere was qulle rppresslve,
giving the camp a somewhat depressed
feeling. Very few strangers were en the
ground,
SATUnDAV Merninu. Theday dawned
brightly, giving a ehterlul aspect te ttxy
thing about tbe camp. A clamor ls made
for a geed shower of rain tosettlo the dust
which is becoming quits tblek. Sunday's
crowds will inake It very unpleaaant unless
a rain should sottle tbe dust. An Immense
crowd may be ex peeled te morrow. Pre.

charge of J, B, Esenwelu.
At ten o'clock a fair audlenoe assemb'.ed
in the auditorium ler tbe morning sermon.
F. P. Lebr, et Lancaster, preached in tbe
German language. He took for his text the
words found in Colesslans ill,, 3-4. The
sermon was practical and full el unction.
Among otber things he said, we as Chris
Hans are in Christ, and as Cnrlst lived a
holy life, se must we live a holy life I be
lieve in entire sanotllleatlon. A Christian
cannot sin because he will net Bin. If It la
true tbat a man cannot live without slnnlug
hew many sins must he commit te keep
from dying 7 If we are In Christ thou all
churches are right. It ls net denomina
tional name, but heart parity.
The sermon was well received and was
followed by an exhortation by W, F. UelL
J. B Esenweln will preach this alternoen
