THE UOiiE OF THE ELKS.
A Picture of Comfort, Elegance and Ease
Tbe Work of Two Indianapolis Houses.
r During the past two weeks a ereat deal has
been said nbont the Elks and their proposed en
tertainment. It is a popular and growing order,
and its friends rejoice in its success. The new
lodge and ante-rooms, together with the club,
room fitted up on tbe third floor, of the new
building adjoining the Y. M. C. A. building on
tbe north, are Indeed handsomely furnished, and
the Elks are properly proud of their new quar
ters. The lodge-room is elegantly decorated, cur
tained and carpeted, the color tones being rich,
but not strong, but in strict harmony with artis
tic delicacy. A like pood taste is displayed in
tbe decoration of the club-rota and the smaller
apartments. Tbe furniture, tables, sideboards,
desks, chairs, sofas, etc., are of antique oak, the
upholstered pieces being in olire leather, aud
everything especially in the club room, having
a czy and comfortable appearance that is quite
charming. The carpets and decorations are
from the establishment of Albert Gall, who
knows how work of this kind should be done,
while the furniture, rich, substantial and tbe
ery embodiment of eae and comfort, is from
the establishment of William L. Eldor.
Mr. Eider and Mr. Gall, in their different
lines, have worked tocether admirably in fitting
up the new home of the Elks, and other orders
and societies contemplating similar improve
ments would do wU to call on thrm.

A JOUENEY THEOUGH CHINA
Tbe Manners and Customs of a Peculiar
People as Told by a Close Observer.
Their Work, Amusements Oddities and Spir
itualism Interesting! Described bj Dr.
Parkhurst at Roberta Park Church.
In his lecture las? evening, at Roberts Park
Church, Dr. Parkburst abandoned his an
nouneed programme, and treated bis audience
instead with an Illustrated trip from Japan
through to America. In one sense it was more
interesting, as it took the hearer through more
countries, and showed him a greater variety of
people, architecture, and scenery. In another
sense it was less interesting, because so little
time was given to each.
Tbe first country traveled through was China.
Dr. Parkhurst said: "The upper classes of the
Chinese are tbe most conceited people on earth.
Their bearing at all limns is haughty and pomp
ous. They cannot understand why the ignorant
barbarians of this country and Enrope should
send missionaries to them. The Chinese of the
higher classes are large men. Tbe masses, of
whom yon see examples in this country, are
small. This is due to their stinted supplies of
food. Their food allowance is never regulated by
their hunger, but always by tbeir needs and their
ability to buy. An average Hoosier will eat
about four times as much as a Chinaman, Jap
anese or Hindoo of the lower classes. In China
you can almost always tell whether a man is
from the higher or lower eiasses by his size."
China is an extensive country. The principal
rivor, the Yang tee-Kiang is tbe third river tor
length. Pekin is so far north that it is blocked
by snow for several months in the year. China
is a country of walls, towers and filth. The eye
is regaled and the nose assailed on all hands.
One may think that the Chinese will not come
to this country, but they will. Tbey cannot be
kept out. Tbe mafl who does the best work for
the least money wiil get the work. The remedy
is to compete with brains against their muscles.
Make them servants by superior intelligence.
"They are a great people for amusements.
Kite-flyme is a favbrite 6port for meo. They
make large and fantastically-shaped kites.
They fasten cut glass to the kite strings and
then cross strings, and try to make each other
lose kites by sawing strings in two. Theaters
are usually held in the open air. The pro
grammes are a series of pictures of the differ
ent scenes instead of descriptive words.
"Relatives congregate in China. In one vill
age can be found all the people Browns. In an
other they are all Joneses. Tbe village govern
ment is patriarch, the oldest person ruling,
whether man or woman. There are said to be on
ly two hundred family names in all China, which
accounts for tbe similarity of tbe names of those
who come to this country. Tbey are spiritual
ista, and the spiritism of this country is tame by
the side of theirs. When they start to sea they
throw gilt paper, which they call 'spirit money,'
on the water to propitiate the spirits of drowned
persons wbo are supposed to dwell there. Their
streets are never straight. They run a short
distance straight and then jog squarelv to one
side, and then on again. I asked a Chinaman
the reason of this. He said it was on account
tbe spirits: that they could not see well, and
when tbey were following a man, if he dodged
around a corner they would run into the wall
ahead, and then turn around and go back. The
Chinese women are all without character. They
are taught to obey any man who commands
them. If a man's wife goes away with another
man, he may punish the man but never
blames her. If China is to be brought
to Christianity it will be necessary to send
women missionaries to teach the Chinese women.
There ought to be five women missionaries sent
to one man. Tbe greatest eure of China is
opium. Its use is increasing. They now raise
it themselves, and it looks like it would ruin
this frugal, industrious nation."
From China the lecturer passed to India. He
considered British rule in India a benefit to the
country, and said the common people recoe
nized it as such. The reason of the continual
conflict between Russia and Great Britain over
tbe Afghanistan country is that it affords the
only access to India for armies except by sea.
Tbe Himalayas are impassable for troops. He
saw two hundred miles in which there was no
pass that a mountaineer would attempt. The
passes of Afghanistan are held by native troops
in British pay, officered Dy Englishmen.
From India he skipped to Italy, thence to
Scotland, and last to Ireland. In each country
views of the buildings and scenery were given,
closing with a view of Queeestown harbor. The
audienae was small, but appreciative, and the
lecture was enjoyed by all who heard it.
