He Considers Them More T rust
worthy Than tho Japanese.
Rev. Courtney Fcnn, who has given
several leoturcs In this city on China
and the Chinese, nelelicsacel the Wo
men's Foreign Missionary society of
tlio First I'resbytorlan church, In the
lecture room yesterday ut 4 o'clock,
and nlRo In the evening. Rov. Fcnn
was In Pekln during the sIobc and
having lived among tho Chinese for
some time Is well qualified to talk on
tho subject.
Particularly Interesting was his de
scription of tho Chinese schools. Tho
Chinese scholars study out loud and
efforts to prevent this practice are not
only In most rnses fruitless, but also
disastrous. When 4 yearn of nge,
tho children ntc compelled to commit
the Chinese classics to memory, and
when in their teens their meaning Is
explained to them. These they nro
supposed to use on all occasions.
The uprising of tho Boxers was en
tirely unexpected, the speaker stated.
To HUtfltrate the suddenness of the
outbreak, Rev. Fcnn told the follow
ing story: A rarty had gathered to
witness the marriage ceremony of two
Chinese young people of his school.
In the midst of tho ceremony, a party
of Kosers swooped down on tho house,
killed the husband nnd pastor, but
the wife escaped.
"The Chinese people arc not so un
worthy; not so contemptible as peo
ple think," said thu speaker. "We are
wont to consider the Japanese ns a
progressive people," he continued,
"but should you go In any of the
banking houses in Japan, you will
flnil no Japanese clerks there, but
Chinese The mannger will tell you
that he cannot ttust tho Japanese, but
he can the Chinese.
"The Jnpanese are fickle and un
worthy; there air no more trustwor
thy people on the face of the earth
than the Chinese," is Wev. Fenn's
comparison of these two nations of tho
Orient.
Ho believes that when the Chlneo
once get a start, and the recent trouble
ought to bring about that, we will
find that tho Chinese progress Is much
more substantial than that of the
Japanese.

Tho twenty-ninth annual meeting
of the Association of tho Home for
tho FrlednlesH was held yesterday af
ternoon in the rooms of ths Young
Women's Christian association, Hon.
H. A. Knapp presiding. Owing to Ill
ness, Mrs. W. V. Kennedy, he presi
dent, and Mrs. C. P. Matthews, vice
president, wore both absent, a fact
which gave a character of unfamiliar
Ity to the occasion, ns probably since
the organization, neither have before
missed an annual moetlg.
Aother fact which caused expres
ses of regiet were tho reslgatlons of
three members who have been faith
ful workers. They were Mrs. Angellue
Henilrlck, Mrs. Daniel Langstaft nnd
Miss Jennie Reynolds. The two for
mer Indies aro among the oldest In
point of service in the organization.
Roth have labored with unswerving
earnestness for the good of the Home.
Miss Reynold", while one of the newer
members, has been none the less effi
cient and her deep Interest and ener
getic efforts will be greatly missed.

tately a fine rotdway h been made
In front of the Home, which we owe
to tlio Undue... of our county official and
to Dunmoro borough, Mr. V. I. Smith having
al.o had a ahare In the good work by giving ma
terial for filling. Thl. auintner the lawn wai

Mr. w. W. wation were act out by Mr. 0. It.
Clatk, making a fine appearance. Now a fence
bt ardently desired to enclose our grounds, ao
tnat wc can have a vegetable garden, which we
ery much need, but which cannot be rtarted
until our domains can be protected. At our
la.t annual meeting Mr. J. t,. Stellc, after bear
ing the neglected condition of the grounds
touched on In the report, arose and offered to
pay half the cipcn.es of putting them In order
of the other half of tho money could be raised.
While the managers were endeavoring to com
ply with the terms of Mr. Stelle'a delightful pro
posal, ho made another generous offer to the
board, namely, to gltc $1,000 tqonard the debt If
$0,000 more could be raised by the first of August
a time he afterward extended until the first ol
Non ember. To this end at once all energies were
bent, and assistance flowed freely In on all sides.
The great heart of Scranton, throbbing with
kindly Impulse, manifested Itself. Men gate,
some without allowing their names to be known:
women gaej the clergy In many of our churches
appealed to their congregations to contribute to
the much-wished for object, and their appeals
bore good fruit. Out nt the Homo four llttlo
chlldicn had been gltcn a few' pennies. It
chanced that the news of what was doing for
their welfare filtered through some unknown
channel and reached their cars. They considered.
.Money was needed to help: they had some: they
would gUe It. "for," they said, with chl!dih
gtatllude. "they are no cood to us." And no
on donation tlay tho prized coins that were all
they had in the world to gle were handed to the
treasurer, and on tho list you may read: "Maud,
20 centsj Charles, 10 cent.; Robert 5 centa;
Willie, 5 cents." At the monthly meeting on
November 2 the Joyful announcement was made
that the ?10,000 had been raised. The long meter
doxology afforded the only appropriate way of ex
pressing the managers' feelings and 11 was (rang
with a will. Today we owe $20,000, against which
we hate a. an asset our Adams ncnue property.
H we could dlrposA of this we thould owe no man
anjthlng. The managers bae hoped for several
seam that It might meet a want in come one's
businos enterprise, but, thougu their efforts to
sell It hae been many, they have to far proved
unsuccessful. How happy we shall bo when it ll
off our hands, when there Is no more debt to
think of or Interest to pay, and nothing but liv
ing expenses to be provided for, only the board
can tell.

Repp Wants to Know.
A case stated agreed upon between
Henry Hardlnj?, collector of taxes of
Old Forpe borough, and William Itepp,
a property owner of the borough, was
yesterday tiled with Prothonotary
Copeland.
Hardlnjr tried to collect $42.03 bor
ough tax from Repp and the latter re
fused to pay, alleging that the assess
ment was Improperly made. The fol
lowing facts are agreed upon; That
In 1899 there was no assessor regularly
elected or appointed In Old Forge bor
ough and that John Cook, a citizen of
the borough, made a copy of the as
sessment of the year previous, which
was before the borough was created.
On these figures the borough tax was
computed.
Itepp believes that this docs not con
stitute a. valid assessment and refuses
to pay tho taxes assessed against him.
Tho court Is asked to give an opinion
with reference to the soundness of Mr.
Repp's contention.

stand before us todiy as we lead the twenty
ninth chronicle of the Heme's work, and jet
after nil, what are thee new conditions? Are
they not simply those of "that new world which
is the old?" A record of work, of earnest effort,
of paitlal triumph ocr di.couraglng aspects, of
kind deeds, of bcaits made Itguttr, ot fullering
icllecd, of "oe unfeigned" all this Is but
the rounterp.it t ot what has been told now
these many jenrf, but still we klull find freeh
evnes for thankfulnis..
The ktatlslics for the woik of the
pist turbo months arc toon giicn. Dur

girls, 11 babies and 20 adults; 75 Inmates were
discharged, 4 lave been indentured to the Home,
and 1 to a family; 8 are out on trial. We have
lost by death 5 bibles and 2 old ladles. Decem

bers lilc been added to thu roll, on which we
also star ono nunc that has stood there since
the brginnlui; of the Home's existence, that ot
a lite member and a charter member Mrs. Jo
seph A. Scranton. On Sept. 27, 1871, she was
appointed ono of a committee of ten for or

been cer a warm friend of the institution. Ily
the death h'.t summer of Mrs. Rubscll B. Will
lams the Homo lost a benefactress whose goner
nit) nnd lmc were unfailing.
During tho ,icar our old enemy, the
scarlet feier, has gltcn us a great
deal of trouble and oinlitj, but as all
who were Hfllktrd with it revomed we feel
profoundly thankful. Tho attending phjslclans,
Drs. Corser and Kennedy, were untitling in their
deletion to their little patients, as the Home's
medical adiseirs hae always been, gllnrf
their time and skill unstintedly, and the result
is most gratif) lug. Ihe kindergarten woik un
der tho direction of Miss Lillian II. Motrls has
gone merrily on, bringing Instruction in its
moil pleasant form to minds eager to recti e it.
A HUSY YEAR.
It has been a bu.y jcar for our committees and
they hae not spared themselves. To our ad
U.ory board and inspection committee we ten
der our hearty thanks. Err willing to gie
counsel and help, they are of invaluable assist
ance, as our needs ami experiences are of so
many kinds that sonic arc most perplexing, and
"j. woid in season how good is Iti" Tho execu
tlio committee has to deal with grave problems,
and the tales ot sin and tonow listened to at
Its weekly session mean much work to those try.
fng how brkt to relieve the distressing condl
tlons brought before them. When wo mention
that tho fliiunco committee has successfully con
ducted a cake walk, a rummage sale, an excur
sion, a "lubber da)'" and un elocutionary en
tertainment within the )ear It will be seen
that Its n sources nro aried in the eitieme.
Although our building 1. pen, the committee on
ir pairs and Improvement has found much to
occupy its attention, and has contributed largely
to the satlsf) ins the necessities of tho house and
to the comforts ot the inmates. 1 lie question
of our coal supply Ims become a momentous one
with which the fuel committee laliora as best
it may, faithfully as ever, but with a certain
sense of discouragement. Owing to the preval
ence of scarlet f'ver this year it was impossible
to hold many religious cervices at tho Home,
but those that were enjoyed were most acceptable
to all present. The committee on desserts Is the
means of much material enjoyment. The com
mittee on burials Is, happily, not often called
on, but when occasion demands, renders ertl-
ll'nder this heading short letters ot interest
will bee published when accompanied, for publica
tlon, by the writer's name. The Tribune does not

Mr. Soper Breaks Out.
Hditor of Tho Tiiliuiic.
Sir: Is it the refuel cf tian.fen or ths
withdrawal of passes tint is causing the trouble?
When jou enmo to touch the nickles in oii'i
rocket "It brings a sigh to the heart, and a
tear to the eje " Ymi (,-ct into tlio meat of the
controversy. All this lamentation over trans
fers or no tiensfcrcs sounds well In the cars
of the laboier who lesldes in Duumoro and is
obliged to go to Iticlo Park to ram his dilly
bread. He must be Immensely gratified and
somewhat surprised at thl. time over the In
terest tho public pre) and the citv councils
aie takhs in his behalf, fiieat urines thry
pottos to exhibit such a duo appreciation for
tho dignity of labor and the fluanclil intircEts
ot the poor man.
Tint there are other Classen of men that appear
to have been ovcrlocked and neglected In this
all-absoiblng question.
What about the poor policcinun, drawing ills
salary of only a thousand a jcar, racking his
weary bones daily in tho service of tho city,
poorly fed and 111 chd, being obliged to walk
or else pay five cents 'o ride? Think ot the
amount of filrtlon his lame back undergoes,
milking smooth ulcgraph poles, and street cor
ners, now obliged to walk or stick to his port.
Then there Is the enterptlslng attorney, who
knows a good thing when he sees It, possessing
a political pull, .1 council pull and a lonK pull,
who heretofore has dUplajcd uls ' ficc pass
with evident satisfaction to a full car, occupy
ing tho bet teat, while the more unfortunate
pascng'.-r Is eearchlng lilt pockets, perhaps 'or
the last nlckle to pay ids fare. Must tiie at

Must they walk In the futuic? "Ah, there's

It ha been taid tint .1 "corporation Is a
body without a soul." That's Mr. Stlllman.
That's why he is pouting. That's why he has
made an order and written a letter. Its all
wrong and evidence of bad faith to take away
the "free passes." It's a violation of contract.
it's unconstitutional to disturb vetted rights ob
tained for a consideration, namely "free paascv."
These have test tho citv cf bcranton the sacil
flee of hrr beautiful streets; her rmlct paiiu
and groves. Tho sound of the three-sided wheels
have taken Hie place of merry children at play.
The cheerful chase alter ball and hoop has
been taken by a wild scramble to escape the
murderous trolley, The peaceful hours of night,
when men slumber and fclecp to "knit up tho
raveled aleovn of care," are disturbed by this
thing "without a soul," stealing the streets
and demollshins pavements Tho maple and tho
elm tint have heretofore graced the liomea ot
many a plain denizen of this great city have
beeu tupei ceded by stately poles fiom tho wilds
of Canada with notices, "Post no bills," F.ven
the woodpecker takes notice.
We have paid a pietty dear price for these
free passes and other little things too numerous
to mention, and of unpleasant memory, for
upon tho altar of tins "body without a soul"
hoensty, manhood and Independence have been
sacrificed. And so
"III farca the land to hastening ills a prey

parties to a case stated presented to
court yesterday.
It Is pet forth that the borough and
