w< I GIVES OP SOCIETY ? YOUNG MILLIONAIRE TO BE MISSIONARY IN CHINA HIS FAMILY IS DEVOUT V * Will Co to the Little Known Province of Kansu, China, One of the Most Benighted Actions in Asia, and He Tranquilly Faces Years of Isolation. , A dispatch from Chicago says William Whitinar Borden, of that city, was forsworn the world to become a missionary and will start upon the work he has mapped out for his lifetime?administering to the physical and spiritual welfarre of the heathen in the little known province of Kansu, China?the darkness and meanest section of the Drient. The young man is a son Of tlie iate William Borden and Mrs. Mary Borden. The Borden estate i.J one of thj big holders of improved downdown property. The family mansion is pointed out from the "rubberneck automobiles" that tour the Lake Shore drive. It stands oooosito the Harold McCormick residence at Bel on ue place. William Whlttlng Bardo.i'-t share In this estate is estimated at more than $5,000,000. He shares alike with his brother John, who is secretary of the Walden W. Shaw Taxirat Company. John recently married Miss Ellen Waller, a daughter op Mr. and Mrs. James BreckonrMge Wallor, who is much seen in society. He inherited the Lake Shots 'rive niansir n in his apportionment >t tlie estMe, and, incidentally, liar thioo other costly residences?one in Masiacliusetts, one in California, and one at Lake Geneva. William Borden's choic > was not made without thought His mother was devout. For years she taught a class of boys at the Fourth Presbyterian Sbabath School. The young man after finishing /ale in 1509 gave $20,000 to found a students' ^ mission, which he conducted himself. Later ho spent three years at Princeton Theological Seminary and was graduated last Spring. Ilia sister Mary chose to devote her life to mission work in India.

After the wedding in Mrs. Borden's chalet at Villars sur Ollen, Switzerland, she went with her husband to Lahore, India, where he ^/as Secretary to the Young Men's Christf'rfin Association. fitting In his private office In the Holland building, William Bord?n said: "1 made up my mind to become a missionary during my trip around the world in 1 904 and 1905, just after 1 was graduated from my preparatory school. Before that I had not thought much of foreign missionaries. Hut while I was in the Orient I stayed at the homos of several missionaries and I changed my mind. "In 100(5 at a convention of the Student Volunteer movement I decided my field would ho the convert ing of the Nohammeden Chinese. There are about 10,000,000 of these in China. At present there is no missionary working directly for them. They have been let almost entirely alone?for one reason because they are so far inland. "But my preparations will take some time. In December I will go to the school of Dr. S. M. Swemer, in Cairo, Egypt. There I intend to study Arabic. I also will take a course In medicine in London btfore I go to China. The people in the province of Kansu are way behind in the practice of medicine and they suffer from diseasts that are easily curable. I do not want to take the time to et ag medical degree, but I shall take a short course. "When I get to China I will spend one full ytar studying the language. The course in the school for misJ sionaries there Is two years. After that I shall go inland. The journey to Kansu takes about six weeks. I will be there tight years before I get a furlough year." Mr. Borden said he had not decided just how he would spend his money when he got to China. "I Intend to make it my life work," . he said. "So if I ste any chance to make good investments for Christiar.. ity with my money I won't fail to make them. I shall spend my money in that work just as a business man would spend his monty In his chose 1 field. I haven't any plans in tlrat respect yet, however." The young mgissionary's college life was somewhat different from that of the usual millionaire's son. lie could have baa anytrung no wauiaa. He spent much of his sparj time at college, however, in Y. M. C. A. work. While a senior at Yale he established the Hope Mission in New Haven. lie bought the property and started the A working of the mission. It is still helping the "down and outs," *\ho come to that city. In the winter on cold nights from 50 to lr0 men go there at night, hut nothing ever it charged for board or lodging. While some of his millionaire fritnds at college were eloping with actresses William Borde 1 wan not worrying about matters of love. "1 am not married," he sai.l, "nor am I engaged. I never have worried much about that and don't know a* 1 ever shall be married." Paid for Slapping His Face. Because of an Atlanta street cat conductor slapping his face for ring ing a push bell several times, B.

In a gallant assault American marines and bluejackets Friday drove .the Nic&raguan revolutionaryl eader, Gen. Zeledon, and his forces from Coyotepe and Barranca Hills, near Masaya, after 3 7 minutes of lighting, ' btu in the action four privatts of the United States marine corps were killed and a number were wounded. The victory of the Americans opened the way for the Nicaraguan Governornment troops to assault the town of Masaya, which they took from the revolutionists and the starving inhabitants were relieved. Itebel losses were heavy. The Government forces lost 100 killed and 200 wounded. Gen. Zeledon, the rebel, escaped but later was cornered and killed by a troop of Federal cavalry. One thousand American marines and bluejackets, under Lieut. Col. Charles G. Long, are moving on the city of Leon, the remaininLg. rebel stronghold. The American marines killed were: Private Ralph Victor Bobbett, en listed at St. Louis. His father lives ( at Nevada, Mo.

Admiral Sutherland's dispatch made it plain that the defeat of the rebels was complete. Zeledon, a Nicaraguan and formerly supporter of i Zclaya, ,fled toward tho Costa Rica boundary to escape. A band of Federal cavalrymen discovered him some distance from Massaya and gave flight.

Less than a month ago Acting Secretary Huntington Wilson served formal notice upon th? Niearaguan Government of the ''policy of the United States to take ' measures for an adequate legation guard at Managua, to keep open communications and to protect American | life and property. The Niearaguan Government already had declared its 1 willingness and even anxiety that the | Unitel tSates should act, finding itself [ fully engaged in fighting the rebels. No further resistance from the reb; els to the execution of Admiral Suth' erland's program to keep open the railroad will bo tolerated. The * doubt that had existed as to the loea1 tlon of the rebel leader, Irias, the last 5 who commanded any considerablo " force, now that Mena and Zoledon have been disposed of, was removed J when it was learned that he was at " Leon. This is another important point on the railroad between Corin* to and Managua. Senor Oastrillo, the Niearaguan minister here, called at the State department upon explicit instructions from his Government to express pro^ found sympathy and sorrow of the * Niearaguan nation for the American " losses suirereu ai iwasayi.. i nis was 1 in addition to a similar expression from Gen.

They grazed around and ran upon tiie hives, turning two of the gunru over, Tho bees immediately swarmed and completely covered the animals.
