a generation, was extremely Interest

Till-: MIDDLK KINGDOM.
Dr. Baldwin's lecture of last evenlnm
was on "The Middle Kingdom," and
was a fascinatliifr study ot Cathay, cm
brat'lnp' almost the traditional cycle in
its broad scope, for It was China's past,
present and problematical future that
held the elope attention of the hum;
audience.
He gave the outlook from an optim
istic standpoint, dwelling but little on
the darker side of that oriental em
bodiment of distant apes. In begin
ning, he spoke of the vastness of the
country: Its 400 millions in population,
its enormous resources and produc
tions: Its typical variety of climate and
the richnossi of its floral treasures In
perennial beauty. A brief, but closely
wrought, description of the people of
Foo Chow followed. They cling fast to
tradition!- of industry, and their mer
chants, are famed for honor in busi
ness- transactions. In this respect they
rank the highest on the London
Ilourse of any on the globe, their rat
ing being J.", while that of the I'nlted
fa'tates Is but SO.
The Chinese reverence for patents
and for old ase and the intricate sys
tem of competitive examinations were
noted, together with the fact that by
this means literary pre-eminence is the
only road to promotions. The pro
posed Introduction of western classics
promises to alter to some degree the
antedated character of much work In
cluded In the curt ionium. The lan
guage as written is the largest In the
world, having no alphabet, but every
character meaning a word, a letter or
a syllable.
In the combination of characters an
Instance was given In the word mean
ing "woman" and "cover." A com
bination of the two; "woman under
cover" means "peace." which Is ex
plained by the grave assertion that to
iinve a woman securely shut up make-4
peace. The chatacter meaning "words."
with a dog on each side, or "words
between two dogs," indicates the word
"lawsuit."
.SPOKEN I.ANOIWGK DIFFICULT.
The Hpokcn language Is still more
dilllcult, as a knowledge of the tones
is necessary. The same word with the
same sounds In different tones becomes
a different word. Thus, "to hear," "to
love," "to determine" and "kettle' aie
variations of tin same word In differ
ent tones. The speaker had once fond
ly imagined himself to be using very
good Chlnet's in asking his audience
"Do you understand?" when It was
plain that they did not understand
I " understand."
! Afterward a young Jtudent who, by
the way, had been educated In ila-.rls-burg,
Pa., and wus the first native con
vert baptized in Foo Chow, spoke to
Dr. Baldwin about his revealed ques
tlon, and Inquired: "Do you know
what you were asking them so many
times'.' I'm sure I don't know what
you meant myself, but you were ask
ing: "Do you know how to love?"
After the student once bet-omen famil
iar with the distinction of tone, the
lltllcultles of the latmuage decreases
amazingly.
Among the obstacles In the way of
the missionary and the clvillutttlon of
China and thu bigotry and supersti
tions and the Idolatrous habits of cen
turies, but equal to these It must be
confessed an- ungodly lives of foreign
residents from Christian countries. The
Chinese sa : "If your religion Is the
true one why do not your own people
believe If." Why do you not begin with
converting them to its b dlef and prac
tices?" Tne oplcm Inter sir are also a disad
vantage, although tl'e e.xport of opium
from China as ionipnf-d with India l
small.
Although the Chltiee have been
heathen for centuries, tlu-ie Is no
deification of vice No Chtlstlan wom
an can enter iniiiiy of tin temples In
India, but there are no Chinese lem
plo where the practices ar such as to
be revolting to the rellned taste. While

pede the progress of tin- empire. That
llussla desires to secure the northern
provlncce of China Is evident and It Is
probable that, If unchecked, a foot
hold would soon be gained there, but
theie Is reason to believe that England
Intends to hold this ambition In check.
It Is not England's policy to dlsinein

atqui.e the tetlltory herself. It is her
polb .. to tlimw wide open a great mar

Inteiests of the Fulled States and Ju
pan mutu be with Great Britain. It Is
possible that China may be preserved
In her Integrity with a reform govern

NOT ICNTtUICLY PKO-Ut'MKIAN.
1.1 Hung Chang Is not. as has been
supposed, eiitlrelv and decidedly pro
Ilussian. He ha? felt under obligations
to Russia for help In raising loans to
pay the Indemnity to Japan after the
war and naturally realizes the Impoit
ance of discharging those obligations.
He sees clearly the gleat benefit from
England's policy and assistance not
ably glvm by Hubert Hart as the head
of the customs frorvlce. Similar help
extended by England In organizing oth
er branches of service and oat ry Ing out
refoi m measures would be welcomed
by I.I Hung Chang and other prominent
statesmen.
The empress dowager appears to have
relegated the emperor to obscurity and
to be personally retrogressive In her
Jiollcy, but certain clrcumstunces nhow
that even she sees the necessity for
reform, and, although she fears sud
den and radical chanues. Is lirenared
to bring about national changes grad- !
ually. With forbearance and a friend
ly attitude toward China In the course
of a few yeais permanent reform and
prog! ess will be established.
China will prate the best market In
the world for the Fulled Slates, sec
ond only to Great Btitaln. In fact,
the magnificent trade from the Pacific
coast may yet exceed the immense
trade of England. All interests de
mnnd the advancement of friendly help
toward the emplte which Is undoubted
ly the greatest lleld for mission wmk
In the world.

BAKERY WAS BURNED.
Owner) by Haas Estate, and Loss
Will Reach $3.( 0 ).
At .1.S0 o'clock yesterday morning an
alarm of lire wus sounded fiom box
.11, corner South Washington avenue
and Maple street. The large pretzel
bakery owned by the Haas estate, sit
uated on Water street near Maple
street, on tin- bank of the Lackawanna
liver, was ablaze. Owing to the ley
condition of the streets the llremen
were compelled to respond slowly, hav
ing due regard for the safety of the
horses and apparatus, and meanwhile
the flumes gained rapidly.
The streams played on the blaze by
the Eagle and Neptune companies weie
of no avail and the entire plant was
ruined, which loss will aggregate $3,00",
partially covered by Insurance. T!i.
origin of the fire Is believed lo be due
to an overheated oven. The structure
was a frame one and burned fiercely.
Louis Haas, manager of the bakety, Is
out of the city.
