A few weeks ago at Shanghai there was a remarkable invasion of ancient Chinese customs and an event that could not have occurred outside of a fairy tale two years ago. It illustrates more forcibly than any- thing that has happened how modern ideas are penetrating Chinese society and how rapidly the restrictions that have been im- posed by the policy of exclusion are being broken down. Three native young women, who were educated at the University of Michigan, persuaded ten Chinese ladies, wives of mandarins of the highest rank, to invite fifty foreign ladies to be their guests at luncheon at a restaurant in a public garden in the suburbs of Shanghai, mostly frequented by foreigners, for the purpose of discussing ways and means for the es- tablishment of a school in that city in which the daughters of the nobility may obtain a modern education. It is believed to be the first time that noble women of China, in their own country, have sat at the same table and eaten from the same dishes with women of a foreign race, and what is even more remarkable, it was at their invitation and with the sanction and at the expense of their husbands. Hither- to a barrier more formidable than the great Chinese wall has separated the wo- men of the two races, and, although the men have mingled in commerce and often in social gatherings, a native woman of rank who voluntarily appeared among for- eigners would have been eternally dis- graced and condemned to perpetual seclu- sion, if not to worse fate. But upon this oc- casion they sat around a ‘table spread in European style, conversed, so far as their command of the English language would permit, ate French cooking with knives and forks, drank each other's health, and even made speeches. When a Chinaman gives a dinner to his foreign friends, even when there are ladies in the party, kis wife never appears, and it has been a gross vio- lation of etiquette to allude to her. Mrs. Grant is said to be the only woman who ever dined with the wife of a Chinese no- ble, and she was entertained by Mrs. Li Hung Chang. The wives of ail foreign consuls at Shang- hai were asked to this dinner, the ladies who compose the executive committee of the Tien Tsu Hsui, or natural feet society, several members of the missionary colony and the wives of merchants who are prom- inent in educational and charitable move- ments. At the close of the luncheon the wife of the manager, Mr. Sheug of the tele- graph service, arose and made what is be- Heved to be the first public speech ever de- livered by a Chinese woman of rank, in her own country at least, perhaps in the world. She explained in a hesitating manner, and in her own tongue, the desire of herself and her associates to enlist the co-operation of the ladies of the foreign colony in the es- tablishment of a school in the native sec- tion of Shanghai, similar to the school for the peeresses founded by the Empress of Japan at Tokyo, for the education, in the modern style, of their daughters and other girls of rank. Their plans were not form- ed, and they had very few Ideas on the sub- ect because of their ignorance and inex- perience, but they were anxious that their daughters should have advantages that had been withheld from them, and hoped that the foreign ladies present who had knowledge of such affairs wouid aid them. The little speech was translated by one of the Michigan University girls and heart- lly applauded. Mrs. Archibald Little, an English lady, responded in an appropriate address, which v also translated, expressing the thanks ef the foreign ladies for the hospitality and their sympathy with the movement, and assuring their hosts of their earnest desire to co-operate in every manner possible. At this point all the Chinese ladies present arose and bowed several times in acknowl- edgment of the sentiments offered. A Chinese lady physician then made a speech of some length, giving more in de- tail the plains for the proposed school, and several foreign ladies responded. Before the party separated it was arranged that enother meeting should be held at a resi- dence in the foreign settlement, at which an organization will be formed’ and prac- tical steps taken for securing a building and the employment of teachers. Se “Wexas Platinum Di: Fort Worth Dispatch to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Messrs. Deselle and Nickel, expert miners of California, recently bought 300 acres of land in Jack county, near Jacksboro’. They have sunk a 110-foot shaft and found nu- merous samples of platinum at a depth of fifty feet from the surface, which’ continues in layers to the bottom of the shaft. Small quantities of both gold and silver were also found. Nuggets of platinum as large as a pea were found, and as the metal 1s three times as valuabie as gold, on account of its indispensability to certain electrical appli- ances and other scientific uses, the great value of the find may be seen. The men Propose to push the development of the mine and will at once put in machinery and crushers to facilitate the work. They are guarding their property and no one fs per- mitted to go into the mine. ‘ ——-re2-—__ AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today.
