TORN BOWN BY MOBS. CHENG-TU MISSIONS WRECKED BY HEATHEN. Reports of Biotins; Confirmed, but It Is Possible the M issionuries Escaped —Other Places Threatened—Terre Haute Fears Saloon Interests. Viceroy Liu Blamed. Shanghai advices say the report of the total destruction of the missions of Ching-Tu-Fu, Kiating and Yoachohu lias been confirmed. The local officials refused protection to the missioiutries until the mob had completed the work of demolishing the buildings. The mission stations at other places have been threatened. About twenty adults, besides a number of children, took refuge nt Ching Tu-Fu and Yamen. Viceroy Liu is blamed for the affair. Cheng-Tu is the capital city of the province of Se-Chuen, the westernmost and largest province of China. It borders on /X- yH ini ■ U “w. .' - -1 MAP SLOWING CHINO-Tr AM> SUKHOI Xl>JNG TEKIUTOKV. Thibet, and has a population of 35,000,000 people. Cheng-Tu is the largest of seventeen cities numbering over 100,000 inhabitants each. The city is situated in a hilly region, and the country around it is poorly cultivated. The province is seamed by mountain ranges, and only a few valleys of the 200,000 square miles embraced in the province are susceptible of a high degree of cultivation. The people of the hilly and mountainous district, including the region around Cheng Tu. are semi-barbarous. They kept up tribal organizations, ami not only are warlike, but bitterly opposed to foreigners. Cheng Tu is from SOO tu 1,000 miles from the s. a coast, and the u hole province of Sc < 'linen is inaccessible by water except in the rainy season, when the river Yang tse Kiang, in file southern part of the province. is navigable for local traffic. Wu-Chang, the point to which a French ! gunboat is said to have gone, is in the province of Hupeh, adjoining Se-Chuen I on the east. It is a city of SOO.OOO inhabitants, at the head of navigation for sea going vessels on th- Vang tse Kiang, and is Gt*O miles and more from the m <me of the reported massacre of Christians. Not Reported in Washington. The I 'hims-e legation in Washington has received no information tis to the reported massacre of missionaries. It is stated nt the legation that Cheng Tu is a large city in the interior of China. The pc^pl,- are far removed from the tenters of foreign commerce such ns Canton and Shanghai Recently, however, by the ti- aty of p< a.-, with Japan, the interior city was one ol several places to be opened to foreigners and foreign commerce. This, it isevpla n ed. lias agitated the people, who lived by themselves from time immemorial. The missionaries are the only foreigners who have heretofore settled at Cheng Tu Their number is not known. It is said, however, that the number of missionaries, including their families, in the entire prov ince of Se-Chuen. of which Cheng Tu is the capital, must be less than 1 • M», ip, hid ing all nationalities. TEMPERANCE MEN DISCHARGED Leaders of the Nicl 4hoh Movement at Terre Haute m Trouble. At Terre Haute, Ind., President Mater and Secretary Dick of the Nicholson union, the organization of young church people to enforce the new Nicholson si loon law, have been discharged by their employers, two prominent retail houses, and there is great excitement in temperance and church circles on account of it. Their employers fold them that their connection with the movement was proving to be detrimental to the trade of the stores. Dick's employer wanted him to sign a paper repudiating the policy of the union, and when he refused to do so he was told that he was betraying the interests of his employer, who discharged him. The employer is a member of the I’r-sby terinn Church and the oflLial board of that church had a meeting to take action “regretting" his course.

Chesß. In the course of excavations on the pyramid field at Sakhara, there has been brought to light a wall painting on which Is portrayed a high official playing chess with an opponent—a very thin man. 'l’he wall painting belongs to the time of King Teta, of the sixth dynasty, which Lepsius has assigned to about 2700 B. C.; but Prof. Brugsch, with new evidence before him, lias put it back to about 3300 B. C. Like very many other games, the origin of chess is lost in antiquity; but there has heretofore been no evidence of such a remote antiquity as this. In very early times a kind of chess was played by the races In Hindustan, by whom it was believed to have been gradually carried to Persia. Then the Arabs became acquainted with it, and carried it towards the West, so on to England, where the game was being played at the time of the Norman invasion. ,'lt Stieketh Closer than a Brother, Does the rheumatism.
