FIVE MEN IN A PULPIT.

Disgracefal Scene in a Sootch Church,

The troubles of the Free Kirk and the Wos Kirk aro straws in the wind compared with the differonoes which divide the flock of the Dalkeith Evangelical Union Congre- gational Church.

Morning service on Sunday, November 13, was notable for the fact that the pulpit contained two rival preachers and three fighting men (ays the London Daily Ex press) all trying to perform their specific dation at the same timo, while the conflict- ing halves of the congregation sang hymns

| against each other.

The minister of Dalkeith is the Rev. Rohort Dermid Brown. He does not meet

with unquestioned approval by the mem- hers. Amongst other sine alleged against him is the ownership of an ice-cream saloon. The reform party have invited him to withdraw, and have invited somebody else to take his place. Mr Brown has replied with a fearsome Scottish instrument known as a caveat, and they tried to fight it all out in church,

There are two doors to Deith Church. The minister holds the key of ons; the malcontents have the other. When Mr 1376 Brown and party reached the church on the morning in question, they found the mal contonta in possession, and a young ma named Scott-brilliant in a blue lounge suit and a green tie-in the pulpit. The Brown party entered by their own door, and listen-" ed to Mr Scott's prayer, interrupting with First-Class CHINESE TEACHER joera when the supplications did not pleas A for a Day School.

The prayer over, Mr Brown elbowed his way into the pulpit, and called for the hymn, Onward, Christian Soldiers.' Mr. Scott folded his arms and listened to the music. The hymn was sung with great ve hemence, while the rival faction jeered, and after the Amen 'the versos wore sung

Mr Brown delivered an extraordinary tirade, constantly interrupted by laughter, objectionable remarks, and the shuffling of feet. 'Madam,' he said to oho objector, *there will be no laughing in hell.

At last he finished, and then, as if satisfied with his performance, forebore to eject his rival with the green tie, and stalked out of the church, followed by his bodyguard and his supporters.

Mr Scott said it would be a mockery, to

proceed with Divine service after such scene as that, so he and his party left also, after a discreet interval.

ANOTHER PROFESSOR'S LOVE

STORY,

M. Maurico Donusy's' new play, 'L'Escalade,' at the Renaissance, is already one of the theatrical successes of the year

in Paris. M. Donnny is perhaps the first dramatist to whom the microbe has given inspiration.

The hero of the play is Guillsame So- indres, a man of science, taught in the materialistic schools of Germany, believing. that all the secrets of the soul can be got at in a physio-psychological laboratory.

Love, says this man of science, is a disease of the mind. It may be cured like any other disease. It can be prevented by inoculation, after the Pasteur method. Love is produced by a microbe. There he is; and the professor, shows you the dange- rous little beast wallowing about in a microscopical drop of laboratory broth.

Madame Cecile do Gorberoy is introduced to M. Soindres by her brother and his

friend, M. de Boisdngand, She is a pretty, intelligent young widow, disillusioned by her discovery of her husband's misconduct. fadame Cecilo takes great interest in the laboratory and in the experimenter's. She and her lady frionds visit and re-visit the place.

As time passes the materialist man of Science feels there is something going wrong with him. For instance, ho pays more at- tention than of old to his personal appea ranco. Madame Cecile notices the change, without, however, auspecting the cause. Innocents both, so far.

In the Shun Tak districts the largo: boilers, in which samshiu in distilled from rice, are manufactured. These shops are of course taxed, and the collection thereof in farmed out to a firm named Un Wo Tang. This farmer recently-accompanied with soldiers-went to Tai Leung, olosed a big shop, which was probably in arrears— and carried of all, the boilers---a typical Chinese way of settling matters. closed their shops. But the Viceroy mot having, in this case, Canton to deal with, but a country town in view of all this con- fusion and loss of revenue, has ordered Un Wo Tung not to evade the difficulty.

«FOR WAYS THAT ARE DARK,"

How Mandarins Scheme.

(From Our Correspondent.)

Canton, February 21.

It seems that however clever, however high the rank a military official may hold, there is an intention to promote him, in the future, by virtue of his merit only. This is not quite satisfactory to the inhabitants of

Chinese officialdom.

It is reported therefore, that recently, some clever, but unscrupulous mandarins have managed to circumvent this new rule whilst appearing to conform thereto. In this way the much-desired promotion is secured.

It is well known that, in China, not in- frequently, a man will offer himself for punishment, and even for capital punish- ment, for a consideration, in order to se- cure the money for his family, or the release of a friend.

Some ambitious, but unscrupulous of ficiala lately, have been known to purchase the persons of their fellow countrymen, who have than come forward and confessed themselves the leaders of some secret society, or tho leader of some intrigue against the government.

An official, who is impatient at is slow promotion, will give a hundred dollars to

man from an unknown and sparsely populated district, who will then confess, under torture, not severely applied, the treason of which he is charged, after which | ho is beheaded.

Thus a military mandarin, who is ven- turesome enough to pay away a few hundred dollars, will make a name for himself, and command the attention and the respect of his superiors.

His speedy promotion to a higliät and more lucrative position will speedily follow. It would seem to us incredible, were we

not dealing with Chinese, that such an outrage should occur to any man's mind, and that any one should be daring and

foolhandy enough to attempt to carry it into practice. But the fact is recorded, and the names are mentioned, and there seems to be no valid reason for declining to accept the recorded data.

HONGKONG RACES.

The Second Day.

A dull drizzling mist was faling when the time for the first race arrived to-day. It was quite a contrast to the previous day, for the back of the course was entirely shrouded in the fog which spread like a pall over the surrounding hill sides and the valley beneath. Naturally the course was heavy.

As the day advanced the mist cleared away to an appreciable extent, but never once did the sun shine out. The fact that the Derby was to be run brought down a fair number of visitors, and despite the vexa tious climatic conditions there was a fairly largo number present when the battle for the blue ribbon began.

The band of the Royal West Konts was again present and played some very acceptable selections. His Excellency Sir Matthew Nathan arrived just before the Derby was run, and remained on the course for the better part of the day.

The racing commonced with the Jockey Cup, for which Alarm and Starling were installed first and second favourites res. pectively. Alarm safely brought his sup. porters home, but Starling failed miseral ly, High Frequency and Lanark filling the socond and third places. High Frequency's dividend for second place was a very good

one.

The favourite for the Exchange Plate, Heather King, also won, but Coronet Rose, second favourite, failed to get any closer than third, while Salem, who was fairly well backed filled second place.

The Derby was a fine race, and Cotswold was favourite, although there was little in the betting between Peels' Elect and Potts' pony. Halifax, after his wins of yesterday, was also fan- cied, and the public were right in their choice. The three horses filled this three positions, after a splendid race. Cotswold and Norman King had a fineset-to coming up the straight, and there is no doubt but that the best pony won. Halifax, though third was a long way behind the first two ponies. The dividends paid, as is only natural, were very small.

Forthe German Cup, Mr Mumford's Mick was proclaimed favourite, with The Gem Rose second and Prairie King third. How- ever Prairie King upset their calculations by beating Mick, while Gem Rose failed to get a place in fact she did not show at áll prominent throughout the mee.

THE CHINA MAIL.

LONDON, January 13; After nearly a fortnight we are still talking of little else than the fall of Port Arthur. It is cortainly final this

pressure

time. Ten years ago when Japan was jockeyed out by the combined of Russia and Germany, the plucky empire of the East resolved on the re- taking of the stronghold and this time there is no power that can compel her to relinquish it. We may reconcile our- selves to the contemplation of Port Arthur as a permanently Japanese

fortification, and this

means that

so new that any gain in population means a gain in industrial development and the bengfits that are accruing are a welcome justification of a highly eonton- tious policy.

Japanese suzerainty. Admiral Dubas- soff has been reported by the usually trustworthy Echo de l'aris to have ad- vised a temporary peace, that Russia, 2182 with nstounding graciousness should allow Japan the possession of what she has already acquired and should turn her attention to the manu- facture of a navy to recommence the war in two or three years time, with all the trumps in her hand.' This re- port will assuredly be promptly contra- dicted. It is one of those kites that diplomatists are fond of flying to ascer tain the direction of the wind. Japan

did not make war to suit Russia's con- venience, and assuredly will not accour- modate her with a peace to give an op. portunity to reconstitute the Russian Navy. A substantial indemnity, say, £200,000,000, will check Russian naval building schemes and give a desirable fillip to Japanese dockyard work. This, and the annexation of Saghalien and Vladivostock and the railway South 2211 and East of Harbin, are a claim not merely moderate but well within the powers of the victors to enforce.

AXATINE is the mildest sperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but LA

certain in action and even in large doses is harmless. Laxatine being non-irrit- able will be found a great boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneys are irritable or diseased. Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messrs A. S. WATSON & Co. L»., have been appointed the Hongkong Agents for this preparation..

cotton goods during the last year and Lancashire mills are fairly active. Naturally Mr Chamberlain had a ner-paper. vous and inquisitive audience at Preston on Wednesday evening, and had some difficulty in making it clear to thei that there was any need for a reform that means new taxation. He gappled bravely with the question, and set it on the right basis, that of employment. Large exports of cotton may mean merely enhancement of prices due to a rise in the cost of the raw material, and not giving any addition to the amount to be distributed as wages, nor any increase in the number of hands employ: ed. The object of Tariff reformers is to increase employment. Exports may increase when measured in money while at the same time they diminish as mea- sured in employment. In such a case the country is not gaining in prosperity. Work for every man and wages for his
