WU TING FANG SCORES CRITICS Says Not All Christians Live Up to the Tenets of Their Religion. Thinks It Strange Clergymen Should Attack Other Beliefs, Yet Resent Criticism of Their Own Creed. | e 'HOME STUDY CIRCLE FOR CALL READERS Few Comforts and No Luxuries for the Middle Classes in the Days of Shakespeare. XXVI. (Second Paper.) As I remarked at.the end of the former | paper on this subject, a series of twenty papers might be fille. with Shakespeare's PHILADELPHIA, Jan.-27.—Wu Ting | Fang, China’'s Minister Plenipotentiary to | the United States, to-day replied to his | “*Con- fucius and Menicus,” delivered before the | Society on Ethical Culture at Horticul- tural Hall. Every available inch of both | seating and standing ro yu was occupied | by an audience attracted by the prule:l‘ and criticism rafsed by Minister Wu's re- cent utterances in New York City on the | subject of Christianity. The Chinese Min- | ister's statements were, however, ex- tremely conservative. Burns Weston, di- rector of the society, introduced Minister | Wu, wio sald: ! “Twenty-four centuries have rolled by | since Confucius walked this earth. His | influence is as great to-day among i country as it ever was bofore. Never was | his name held in greater veneraticn thai it is nmow. Throughout the length and | Empire ever, - where are temples erccted to his memocy . Every schoolboy acknowledges him as the supreme teacher of the Chinese race. Iis spirit pervades & nation of four hundred ! millions and his word is recognized as law | to the most august Empeior on the throne | as well as to the meanest peasaut at the | | f | plow. Thus is Confueius enthroned in the hearts of his countrymen." At the close of his address the speaker saig: 'l find that the address on Confu- cianism [ dellvered last month at Car- negie Hall in New York has attracted a great deal of attention. It is a source of gratification to me that the remarks made on that occasicn have elicited comments | from the American press which are gen- erally very favorable, and also expres- s10ns of approval from persons in Aiffer- ent parts of the country. But, on the | other hand, T have seen in the newspapers scpe adverse criticism on my address irom a number of clergymen. But lest a false impressicn may have gone forth jn | regard 10 that address I take this oppor- | Lunity to say a few woras about It by way ol explanation.” Minister Wu then quoted an extract from the sermon of the Rev. Dr. Way- lund Hoyt of this city on Sunday, Decem- ber 16, in whicn the latter :poke of 1Li Hung Chang's high tribute to the work of the Christian missionarfes in China and asked what reply the Chinese Minis- ter could make. “Dr. Hoyt has done me, though doubt- less unwittingly, a great injustice,” con- | tinued Wu Ting Fang. “Since he wants | @ reply I have no hesitation in giving him | one. 1 indorse every word that Earl Li has sald on the subject of foreign mis- sionaries as cited by the doctor. 1o prove | that 1 am sincere in what I say, I beg to | refer the doctor to the address I delivered in December last before the American Academy of Polytechnic and Social Sei- ence in” Philadeiphia_on the uses of the Unpopularity of Foreigners in China.’ I suppose the doctor had not read that address, or if he had read it he has Yor- gotten it. In any case I would not be- lieve that an eminent divine could be capable of purposely misrepresenting me. “*Again, Dr. Hoyt, and some other cleriymen from their addresses, seem to thi that 1 charged all missionaries with crying out for vengeance. Let me read the exact words I used: ‘‘‘Love your enemy fis Christ's com- mand, but ‘at this moment some Christian | missionaries are crying out for vengeance | and bloodshed.” Note that I used lhe' word ‘some’, { “I am inclined to think the reason why | some clergymen—and 1 am glad to say that there are not many—took offense at what I said In my address on Confuclan- ism is that I took the liberty of institut. ing a comparison between Confucian- ism and Christlanity, which they supposed | was done to the disparagement of the lat- | ter. There was certainly no intention on my part to make an attack upon Chris- tlanity. Surely it is no discredit to say that Christlanity is too high and ele- vated for frail humanity and that all | Christians are not acting up to its tenets, just as it is no disgrace to acknowledge that the Confucianists in China do not live up to the teachings of Confuclus. “Tt seems strange that some clergymen | should resent any attempt to compare Christianity with any other systems of belief while they themselves do not scru- ple to attack other religions. In other words, they do just what thev do not want others to do. Since my address on Confucius was delivered I have seen Con- fucianism condemned right and left. It it has been flete,’ ‘vague,’ nworthy of ‘rotten to the core,’ (n!terlng to its fall’ and the like. I do not, how- ever, quarre] with those who nppl{ such opprobrious epithets to our creed. If Con- fucianism were as bad as {ts detractors tr‘y to make it out to be it is strange that ter twenty-four centuries it should be able to count millions and millions of peo- ple as its adherents. The noble and sub- lime teachings of Christlanity need not fear criticism, much less friendly com- parison. “1 believe that all religions teach men to be g f every man would really try to act up to the doctrines enjoined by his religion the world would be far bet- ter. It would be well if priests and éler- gymen of every faith and creed would do their best to promote this desirable end. ’T‘l"nc\‘x: the words of Confucius will be ful- 1 ‘Let us all live In peace as broth- ers.’ YOUNG MAN ENDS LIFE WITH A RIFLZE Edward Hoppin Commits Suicide Ow- ing to Despondency and Contin- ued Ill-Health.

A few min- utes later Mrs. Hoppin heard a heavy fall but no report of & Eun. She went to the door and called. Recelving no answer she climbed the stairway to his room and was horrified to find him lying on the floor dead. He had used a rifle. e ball entered under the chin, severed the wind- Dipe, broke the jaw and came out back of the left ear. Death must have been in- stantaneous. DESIRE REMOVAL OF WASHINGTON'S CAPITAL Tacoma Business s Men Making Deter- mined Fight to Have Its Loca- tion Changed. TACOMA, Jan. 27.—The business men of Tacoma and the Chamber of Commerce decided last night to make a vigarous fight to have the State capital moved here from Olympia. The entire State has long complained of the inaccessibility of the present capital, Olympia having only one train each way daily, at inconvenient hours. Many pa- pers throuflmut the State have urged the selection of Tacoma because of its central location. It is now deemed advisable to actively enter the race. er‘ht Park, in the center of the city, has been offered ‘for Savor Campbell will head o dele: Bation of Dusiness men which. will 80 1o [2) lymplt to-morrow to aid the Tacoma del- egation. h’rheb-nuu tlr‘:lm wlll!_: brought a_special n next day and b‘:.:m:z ted at the Hotel Tacoma. s oo Attempts Suicide, i SACRAMENTO, Jan. 27.—Lulu Howard, a woman of the town, quarreled with her {in which he lived and in which it is qu | certain that the poet was born is | house which an ordinary workingman in | interior of these closely resembles that of {and were constructed of a framework of | wooden beams, the spaces between which | that of Richard Arden, | the tapestries of great mansions and were | burned to overcome the smell. lover to-day, got drunk uul {:' mlmo the Hnr.

A few more of these illusions may be mentioned in this additional paper to give the reader and student a further idea of the richness of the field, and. possibly, to lead him to independent excursions in it.

Tiles are mentioned only once in “All's Well,” where Bertram says of Parolles, “I know his brains are forfeit to the next tile that falls"--that is, from a roof; but tiles were mostly used in the better class of houses, llke New Place, the residence of the poet in his later years. Chimneys were among the “‘modern im- provements” of the time. John Shakes- peare’s house had one, but many of hs neighbors were not so fortunate. Harri- son, writing in 1577, refers to the “‘multi- tude of chimneys lately erected, and adds that not many vears before ‘“there were not above two or three, If so many, in most uplandish towns of the realm.” In “Macbeth” there is mention of chim- neys “blown down” in the wild storm on the night of Duncan’s murder. Hoyses like John Shgkespeare’'s had plastered walls and ceilings within, but the furniture,of which we get an idea from inventories of the time (as, for instance, Shakespeare’'s ma- ternal grandfather, who was a wealthy farmer), was scanty, rude and plain. That of the hall or main room of the house, which often occupied the whole of the ground floor, consisted of two or three chairs, a few joint-stools—that is, stools of wood jointed together, as distinguished | from those more rudely made—a table of the simplest construction, and possibly one or more “painted cloths” hung on the walls. < These cloths were cheap substitutes for 1 often found in the cottages of the poor. The paintings were generally crude repre- sentations of Biblical or historical sub- jects. together with maxims or mottoes, which were often on scrolls proceeding from the mouths of the characters. Shakespeare refers to them several times, as in “As You Like It,” where in reply to Jaques. Who charges Oriando with getting his “pretty answers” out of rings (refer- ring to the mottoes or ‘“‘posies” often in- scribed in finger rings). Orlando replies: “Not so; but I answer you right painted cloth, from whence you have studled your nues‘l Falstaff says that his recruits are “ragged as Lazarus in the pai cloth,” and the host in the “Merry \ describes fat Jack’s chamber as about with the story of the prmhgnl fresh and new’—an appropriate decoration for the place. When carpets are mentioned in the in- ventories they are coverings for the ta- bles, not for the floors. which even in royal palaces were strewn with rushe: Grumio, in “The Tam.ug of the Shrew,™ sees “the carpets laid"” for supper when his master comes home. In the same scene Grumio asks, “Is supper ready, the house trimmed, rushes strewed, ebs swept?” In “Romeo and Juliet” the la- dies in dancing “tickle the senseless rushes with their heels.” In “‘Richard 11" “the presence strew'd” is the presence chamber of the palace strewn with rushes. These rushes were not changed until they had become too malodorous for endur- ance, and perfumes were sometimes This ex- plains allusions like that In “Much Ado” to “smoking a musty room. Towels. except for table use, where they were necessarv before forks were known and fingers were used instead, are seldom included in inventories of the period, and when mentioned are specified as “‘washing towels’; nor are wash basins often re- ferred to except In lists of articles used gbnrbers Bullein, writing in 1538, says: in people in the country use seldom times to wash their hands * * * and as very few times comb their heads.” In “Much Ado.”” when Benedick’s friends are joking about his rhanEDd habits since he fell in love, Claudio asks: “And when was he wont to wash his face?’ Baths are seldom referred to in Shakespeare and other writers of the time, excent for the treatment of certain diseases. Apropos of forks. they are not men- tioned by Shakespeare. and it was not un- til after his death that they were used even by the higher classes. Thomas Cor- vat, writing in 1611 after visiting Italy, gives a minute description of their use in that country, and adds that he himselfs “thought.good to imitate the Italian fash- jon by this forked cutting of meat,” but his friends at home sometimes ‘‘quipped” him for what they regarded as a foraign affectation. The dramatists of the d. also ridiculed “vour fork-carving tr: eler” and a good clergyman preached against the uss of forks, calling it “an fneult to Providence not to touch one's meat with one's fingers.” We get not a few glimpses of school life in_that day, and Shakespeare often al- ludes to it. Before he could enter the grammar school in his native town he had to be able to read, and this he had prob- learned at home with the help of & hornbook, ch as_ he refers to im where Moth says “he teaches boys the horn- s the primer of the times a single leaf, about three in size. set in a wooden vered with a thin plate of it got its name.

Shakespeare has many allusions to the Latin authors he read in school, particu- larly to Ovid and Virgil Holofernes quotes “the good old Mantuan,” as he calls him, who is not Virgil, as Mr. An- drew Lang assumes In an articie in Har- per's Magazine (May, 183), but Baptista Mantuanus, or Giovanni Battista Spag- nuoli (or Spagnoli), who, like Virgil, was born at Mantua. He was the author of sundry Latin eclogues, which were then much read in schools. Other bits of Lat- in in the pedantic talk of Holofernes are from Lilly's grammar and other school books of the time. Playing truant is no meodern vice of schoolboys. Jack Falstaff in “1 Henry IV,” asks, “Shall the blessed sun of heav- en’ prove a micher and eat black- berries?” ‘“‘Micher,” or “moocher,” is now obsolete, but it is defined in a contempo- rary dictionary thus: “Moocher, a tru- ant; a blackberry moucher. A boy who plays truart to pick blackberries.” Of the education of girls, except by pri- vate tutors, in the Elizabethan age, it is difficult to get any definite information Neither Ascham nor any other writer of this time t vhom I have been able to refer has hing to say on the sub- ject. and modern writers on the m-mry of education are equally stlent. Dr. Fu nivall, in the introduction to his edition of the “Babees Book,” shows that, in the time of Henry VIIL girls had the legal right to attend the grammar schools, but neither he nor Dr. Furness can refer me to any evidence that girls availed them- selves of the privilege. and I do not be- lieve that they did. Thers must, how- ever, have been schools in which they were taugat needlework, music and probably otner feminine accomplishments. Shak: peare has two pleasing allusions to school- girl friendships, which seem to have been as warm and sentimental as nowadays. In the “Midsummer Night's Dream” He- lera says to Hermia: “Is all the counsel that we two have shar'd, The sisters’ vows, the hours that we have spent, When we have chid the hasty-footed time For parting us—O! is all forgot? All schooldays’ friendship, childhood cenca? W Hermia, like Have with our neel Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, Both warbling of one ng, both in one key; As if our hands, our sides, voices and minds, Had beqp incorporate. So we grew together, Like to a double cherry, seeming parted; But yet a union In partition, Two lovely berries molded on one stem: So. with two seeming bodies, but one heart; Two of the first, like coats in heraldry, tano- o artifictal gods, Due but to one. and erowned with one crest. And will you rent our ancient love asunder, poor To join with men im scorning your friend ?” Later in the same scene Demetrius of the same friend vixen when she went to school.

F. Tozler, starts Mon- day morniug on one of the most perflous voyages ever undertaken. Shipping men and underwriters of the entire Pacifia Coast will anxiously await her returm, for she goes in search of missing vessels and distressed mariners. Twenty-flve vessels bound for Puget Sound and the coast are missing, sup- posedly driven north. Vessels from Alaska report the entire west coast of Vancouver [sland, 250 miles of rocks and reefs, strewn with wreekage. The Grant will examine every square inch of Van- couver coast as far north as Cape Seott and will search every plece of wreckags for identification. The Treasury Depart. ment is highly commendea by shipping men for sending the cutter north, and al- though realizing their peril the officers of the revenue cutter serv!cs are too fa- milfar with danger to question thelr orders.
