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-

HARRISBURG TFJJJFTG TELEGRAPH
Ed bound feet as they struggle up
wards towards the top. 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.
