DON CARRUTHERS GOES SIGHTSEEING Climbs Sacred Mountain in China and Sees the Grave of Confucius Donald Carruthers of this city, ■ son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Carruthers, ) 1350 State street, now connected with I the Army Y. M. C. A. in Peking, i China. lias sent another Interesting let ter home, which Telegraph readers ! are sure to enjoy. This waa mailed April 10 at Peking, and says: j "1 just got back last night from a rather interesting trip into the interior of China during which timo J saw the grave of Confucius who lived T OO B. C., as well as climbed the saored moun tain where men have been worshipping for nearly 4,000 years. The train left Peking last Tuesday at 8:30 a. m. for Tientsin which is 82 miles to the south of Peking. In China there are three classes on the i railroad and we took the third class ion this trip. It is something like a street car and there no cushions on the , seats but these are, made real comfort able by unrolling your baggage | and bedding and sitting or sleeping on | ! these. The rate per mile is practically ! a cent a mile or 4 times cheaper than I first class fare. They say that the postal rates in China are the cheap ; est in the world and I can well he lieve that this is true of the railroad i rates also. The railroad which we i took south was built by a German j lirm and was a most remarkable one for efficiency in management and con : struction. It was built at the cost of $65,000 (gold) per mile. The sta-' i tions along the way are beautiful and j there has been an attempt to make | use of Chinese architecture when this j could be successfully adapted to the foreign type. The road bed and j bridges together with the grading was -the finest X have ever seen and cer-i j tainly Avas a good example of the thor oughness of German workmanship, i The locomotives were all made in Ger- ; I many but I was quite amused to see j I the airbrake was made and patented | by our own good American firm West- : inghouse. The train crew were most] obliging and we were allowed to ride 'in the cabin of the engine and even, on the cowcatcher if we chose. We reached Tientsin and left at i 12:30 for the south arriving at Tsin anfu at 11 p. m. that night where we were to spend the night before going I on to the next point, some 45 miles further south. The station at this j j place was simply wonderful and asj tine as any of the ones at. home ex- j cept those in the large cities. There i was a large German settlement there before the war and this city is the capital of the provinces and conse quently flourishing as compared with other cities. The night was spent in ,a small German hotel and at breakfast we had all the delicious German rolls land meats we wanted. We then ! caught the train for the first definite stop, Taianfu where the sacred moun tain Taishan is located. This moun-; I tain is worshipped because of its i great height and it is by far the high- j est peak in this part of China. It is! ' sacred because it is supposed to reach j up to heaven. On the top of It are i several temples to the "Mother of Heaven" and it is considered the thing | for a Chinese to mount the 7,000 ! i steps of stone and worship on the | summit. This mountain lias been (worshipped for at least 4,000 years, ] Confucius himself having climbed it. It was hard to adequately think back ! over such a long period of change and j development not alone in the history of China but of the world at large. Making Pilgrimages The pilgrims were going up and i down the mountain in considerable | numbers and one man was carrying his old mother with her bound feet down the mountain after having paid her vows at the top. There are nearly 7,000 steps to the top and you can imagine the agony of these poor Chinese women with their tiny pinch- == m The Sara Lemer I (t-.

One woman was very conspicuous by her pained face as she worshipped at the shrine on the top after her long hard climb upward. At the station we got into chairs which were to be the means by which we were to make the ascent. The chair is carried on the backs of two men, much the same as a hospital stretcher, and you ride along with a swinging motion. The men make very good time going up the mountain ; and are fine physical specimens. I j walked a good part of the wav up and also tried carrying one end of a chair I for a good many steps, much to the merriment of the carriers and pil grims who doubtless had never seen a foreigner "in the toils" before. All the way up were any number of char- ; acters carved in the rocks, some of i them thousands of years ago perhaps.; I saw in a shrine 011 the way up a ] mummy of a priest who had starved himself to death in mediation and whose bones were now on exhibition for others to see what really came! from such zeal. As we climbed higher and higher we could see for miles around the coun- ! try below and several streams stretch ed themselves out sinuously like huge serpents on the plain beneath. The ascent required 4 hours walking and is said to be 13 miles, a rather doubt ful statment. We entered what was known as the East gate of Heaven but strange to say I could not seem to find any of my old friends any where so 1 descended with the party I had come with. The darkness had begun to fall when we at last reached the bottom of the mountain and the chair bearers di- | rected us across the absolutely quiet i plain to a mission compound where 1 we were to stay. The house in which we stayed was that of a surgeon who had just come out and the whole ma 1 P S I? entire compound were made of limestone. After a delicious supper we sat around a |125. Victrola and listened to several wonderful red! , Ct records - All the best opera j i . . were at hand and wav off j in the interior in China we could have ?(. °^ rna( 'k, Gluck, Lauder and others to inspire and cheer us. I went oft to sleep that night thinking that here we were at the foot of this old mountain which had been an ob ject of worship and visitation of pil grims lo these many centuries and at its foot in the heart of the crowded city was this Methodist Mission, the the Lord Jesus actively at \\olk among the needy. 1 felt Chris tianity was right on the job, wholiv unmindful of the age of its aged com'- petitor. r - a . n t, Mrß - A - J - Dallas Dixon of Philadelphia are visiting their sister.
