Translation of Proclamation Sent Out
in China.
The following article was written
by Rev. W. E. Crocker, of Chinkiang,
China, for a newspaper in China, and
may prove interesting to some of our
readers. A portion of it refers to the
recent attempt of the Chinese to boy
cott American goods, and is a trans
lation of a proclamation which was
sent out through the empire to incite
the natives against Americans:
Chinkiang, Ku., 3rd Aug.
It is in the mouth of everybody that
this is the hottest summer for many
years, but notwithstanding this the
tennis courts are kept pretty lively
in the late afternoons at the park.
One matter of some little interest
just now is the boycott of American
goods, which is in progress. As one
Chinaman said, “Chinkiang will follow
Shanghai.” I give below a transla
tion of a proclamation which is posted
up all over the place. It says: “The
scholars and merchants, having heard
that the Americans are treating inno
cent Chinese labourers without reas
on with extreme cruelty, to such an
extent that it cannot be told, we, the
Chinese, have become aroused to use
all the power we can to stop this cruel
treatment. The plan adopted is to
stop using American goods—and in all
places this has been agreed upon—
therefore let" us truly carry it out
We give the names of the different
brands of merchandise which may not
be bought. All Chinese are invited to
note these goods particularly, and
not to buy them, and let every one
consider this of the greatest import
ance. Let there he one mind in this
and thus great good will be accomp
lished. As one family of brothers,
let each one daily stand by fhis cove
nant.” Then follows a list of goods
which are to be boycotted. Naturally
many rumors have arisen on account
of the extreme ignorance of the peo
ple. One is that anyone who buys

State Constable Jenkins raided an

The officers allege that the owner lay

the window without having to get up.
On the same raid the constables were

To those who know the inflammable

Lost Two Toes.
George McLaughlin, one of the col
ored laborers at the Southern station
in Charlotte, Tuesday morning while
steel rails were being unloaded from
a hand car, suffered the loss of two
toes by the fall of a rail on his foot.
The accident, was not seen by any of
the other workmen and the victim
had walked ton feet before his foot
was examine?!. The two toes next to
the big toe were cut off entirely, the
big toe was hanging by flesh and* will
in all probability have to be ampu
tated. When McLaughlin was asked
if it hurt to have the toes cut off he
said that he didn’t feel any pain at
all from the wound. He was among
the most interested onlookers and
evidenced no sign of pain.

The day services attracted good

REVIVAL IN BALTIMORE.
Good Work of Rev. B. P. Robertson
of That City.
(Baltimore Sun.)
The united evangelistic campaign
for the summer is over, and the com
mittees to whom were intrusted the
preparations for the campaign in co
operation with the superintendent,
Rev. B. P. Robertson, have done their
work well.
The campaign was so well organized
that there was not a hitch from be
ginning to end, and the co-operation
of the churches of different denomina
tions was without friction.
"Perhaps there has never been such
a sweet Christian fellowship manifest
ed in any city as has been witnessed
in this city this summer in this cam-
paign,” said Rev. Mr. Robertson yes
terday. “Surely, the spirit of God in
augurated and directed it.”
Every part of the city has been
reached at some time by one of the
tents, one of the stereopticon® or by
one of the wagons. Over 116,000 have
attended the services. Services num
bering 440 have been held and ovqf
1,50«i persons have signed cards ex
pressing a determination to live a
belter life. Fully as many more, it
is hlieved, have been influenced to
make the same decision, hut have not
1 cards.
The pastors of the citv have man
ifested a self-denying disposition in
Pleaching voluntarily. “Surely,” said
•Mr. .Lobertson, “the people of the
world outside the churches cannot
say any more that the churches are
not interested in it. The Christian
’vople of this city dur tig the summer
have gone forth volu. tarily to reach
those who do not att n:l church, and
Go i has wonderfully blessed their la
bors. I have plenty of letters from
the workers and con/erts that would
do any heart good o read. It has
been the happiest s immer the work-
.o have ever spe \ judging from
their letters.”
The campaign has cost about $5,000,
including all of the expenses. Over
133,000 tracts were distributed and
4.000 Testaments given to people who
did not have them. While economy
was exercised, nothing was left un
done to make the campaign a success.

threw him violently to the ground
about 30 feet below, falling on his

young Kirkham fell from a wire about
the same distance and would in all
probability have been killed hut he
caught an arm on the ^ole about half
way down, which broke his fall, and in
all probability saved his life then.
Monday was the first day he had been

lying stiff and cold in death, about 50
yards from his (Hadden’s) front door.

people of this city put forth the most
strenuous effort possible, under the
direction of the Spirit of God. to se
cure the greatest spiritual uplift in
the lives of the people of the c.ty that
has ever been known. It is the desire
of those interested in this movement
that no human being be lookeT upon

be the servants of the Spirit and the
Christian people for the good of the
city.”
