Illustrated with stereoptlcon views of
Slam, but two things prevented that,
the dllllrulty In getting a lantern prop
erly Installed and Dr. Dunlap'K failure
o bring his stereoptlcon slides.
Itcv. Dr. Dunlap Is a pleasing ap
pearing man with a clear, distinct
olip and talks with the ease and grace
of a practiced speaker. He prefaced
bis talks with a dallnltlon of civilization
"Civilization," he said. "Is an Im
proved condition of man, and means
the nduincenicnt, refinement, art and
progress In general; It Is the lifting
up of man morally and physically. To
ivlllzc Is to Rlvu law and culture. Is
to humanize and elevate: and we shall
Irani that missionaries have great In
t'uence In civilizing, humanizing and
cU vatlng man."
To civilize Is to work gradually, the
d' letup declared, and cannot be accom
plished by artificial means. Tt Is the
work 'if the nilsUonary to publish the

INNOVATIONS IN SIAM.
Slam, he said, owes everything to
tli'i civilization brought by the mls

tects which the American mission

recently ono of tho men educated by
the missionaries was net up for kins

access to nil parts of tho empire.
In discussing the allegations niado
that the missionaries nro visionary,
tactless and thoughtless, and aro tho
cause of all tho recent trouble In tho
Kast, Dr. Dunlap said that nothing
so pained the hearts of the returning
missionaries as to bear these icports.
To refute this ntgument, ho pointed
to the excellent regard with which
the people of Slain consider the Ameri

Dunlap told of bis endeavors to raise

Interesting Paper Read by Dr. Hel-
mer at Philadelphia.
By Ilxeludve Wire bom The Asoelated Pimi.
Philadelphia, March !, "The Prob
lem of Municipal Milk Inspection,"
was tho title of n paper lead by Dr.
Jacob llelmcr, of Scranton, nt today's
session ot the annual meeting of the
State Veterlnatlati association. Dr.
Helmcr asserted that the laws govern
ing tho Inspection of milk are Inade
quate nnd offered numerous sugges
tions as to the manner In which this
system might be Improved, llo said,
In part:
"Slato legislation relating to the sale
of milk In cities, towns, boroughs and
lllages ot Pennsylvania, practically
gives no authority to boards of health
and councils for anything inoro than
the appointment of an Inspector t
manipulate and analyze samples of
milk. With few exceptions, nothing
moie thnn this Is done throughout tho
state. Tho milk laws tire good US' far
us they reach. Their deficiency con
sists In that they are not comprehen
sive enough.
"A successful milk Inspector would
Inspect every cow, the character of
milk-house, the cleanliness and health
ot those who bandlo the milk, and
every little Intricate point."
Dr. lleliuer suggested nddlllonal
laws which would aid tho Inspection
of milk and be n preventative of the
contagion which Is spread by iiuranl
tary milk.
The association will work In con
junction with tho American Associa
tion of Veterinarians.
A delegation from the association
will go to Uartisburg tomorrow to
protest against the Stiles bill amend
ing tho law governing the practice of
veterinary medicine, which has passed
tho senate and will go before the house
committee tomorrow.

Councilman Chittenden Believes It
Is Reasonable.
Select Councilman c. K. Chittenden,
champion of reforms ill the lire dt -par.tmcnt.
was asked for an expression
of opinion yesterday on the recommen
dations of changes In tho department
made by the fire underwriters, which
the latter sav must bo complied with
by the city before the increase In In
surance rates of twenty-live cents on
every $101) will be taken off.
"I think," said he, "that every fair
minded citizen must admit that what
the Insurance people ask Is fair and
reasonable. We need nit these things.
I have done a little rough figuring to
day, and 1 estimate that this Increase
will mean about J.SO.OOO extra, expense
to the people of this city every year.
If lu any possible way that sum could
lie used to properly equip our fire de
partment. It would be very nice. Tho
people will pay that amount to the In
surance companies, but If they wero
asked to pay It to the city for Just one
year there would be a deal of protesting."
