Prince Chan? cliili Tuns of China, I.i Hung Chang's greatest rival, and by many considered the autocrat of Interior China, lias written a remarkable book, which is to appear frora the jirehS of an American publisher, with the indorse ment of His Imperial Majesty, Kivang cu. himself. Prince Chang has sent his manuscript to the United States with the request that it be printed. It was printed in China and liaa been distributed by royal decree. The volume is entitled "China's Only Hope." This, in the Viceroy' opinion, is that bis country' s-fcouM j-tudy ihe new ordir of thlnsb. The booU will be the first of Its kind emanating from a prince of tho Chinese Empire and indorsed uiiti the eal uf the Hmtieror. Xla- ideas the Viceroy expresses are remarkable. The translation of the book into Knfillsh has just been completed. A few citriiets i.-ill show its general character. The Vice roy's opinion of International law in the ab stract o v. hat ir.:iy be expected of him in negotiating with foreign countries. He s-ays: There are many who place the must im plicit confidence in international law, but these are as stupid as the individuals who iieend on the Ui&irmanicnt Kociet;- for peace. If countries are equally matched, then international law is eiiforcea; othei wlse the law I- mopcr-ti.'e. 1 or what has iuu-rnaiional law to uo unh liglitlug l&ues tvhen ot:e iountr is strung sind another weak?

On the other hanj, l'rince Chans doc-s not express much sympathy with such up risings as tiiat o: the liuxers. lie says pithily that "the Chinese who create dis turbances are lunatics." Yet the l'rince lie lieves that the history of his country as a whole is such as to justify admiration. He cxchtlms: "Jlany of our Chinese no doubt extol for eign learning to the skies, ami even go sn far as to assert that our Government and customs do not i-os-Sb one redeeming feat ure.

As the oldest Herman livar.eellcal congre gation, with the oldest church of the denom ination In St. Iioubt. St. Peter's congrega tion will to-day celebrate the golden jubilee of lu houe of worship, on Fourteenth and Carr stretis. with three of the conuregatinn lirese.Rt who were worshipers In the churtli when the corner-stone was laid, llfty jears ago. The congregation was organized Ilfty twn years ago. but It did not build Un church In which It Is now domiciled until feven yars luter. The church and its con gregation are notable because it has enter tained many of the lmiwrtnni corn-lives of the Aim-i Iran Synod, and it Is the footer mother of almost every one ot the twenty two German flvungeili-al churches in S:. Iuis. besides Uing the pioneer congrega tion of the West, Three sei vices are to be held to-day in the morning at is:Co o'clock, at 2:W o'clock in the afternoon and at s o'clock In the even ing. Tlie pastor, the Itevcreml J. V. Kliek. will preach the memorial sermon In the morning, and In the evening the litverends C. G. Haas, S. Krue. Carl KiolYt and John Ilaltzer will speak. There b- to lie music by the students of the lvim Colbge and the various choirs of the church, under the di rection of Professors I". W. Kube ;md Paul Austman. Since last Thursilay many youus men and ladles of the congregation have been busily engaged In decorating the Inter ior of the church with lluwtrs and garlands. It Is anticipated that there will le an Im mense ciowd both frora the city and from the suburban towns. Kirly in the forties many Get mans pene trated the wildernesses that made St. l.ouis almost .itiaccciislble to travelers and settled here with the intention of making their for tunes. They departed from their homes in the old country because of oppresion. They called the llrst church they built the German Protestant Church. This was the old Holy Ghost Church, on Kiglith and Walnut streets, of which the Reverend Mr. Kucr- hard was for many year tin pastor. Now it has been succeeded by the Independent German Protestant Holy Ghost church, .if which the lleverend Pedro IIsvli Is the pas tor. Portilalhin of ConicrcKtitiou. Put as soon as the German pioneers were comfortably settled In St. I.uuls they bewail l turn their attention to their church af fairs, and they tound that worshiping un der one roof with so many persons of an other faith was irritable, and, as in all di? cusslo'is they radically differed from their friends, who were members of the evangeli cal Lutheran faith, the little band of Kvan gclists derided to withdraw from the Union congregation and to organize an Evangelical church in St. Louis'. The Lutherans and tho Kvangellc.ils differ upon the idea of trans Mibstuntlatlon. The former really are tho Kpiscopal denomination of Germany, while the latter are almost Congregational iti their belief. In July, 1SI3. the seceding of the Evan gelicals took place and soon there fter they obtained permission to worship In their own simple way In a public school house that stood on Sixth street between St. "hnrlei and Locust streets. They assembled In the place every' Sunday morning and an elder read the Scriptures. Hut the llever end Mr. Wall was soon called to the con gregation, and he took charge. Ilcguiar congregational rules were adopted by tho little hand, and William Schroeder, Freder ick IHeckmann, Jacob Westermami. Henry Luehneniann. John G. Hess and Valentino Werle were elected as elders and trustees. When these pioneers settled In this city thoy either took up their residence in what 13 now known us French Town or they re- tireu to tne woons on tne northwestern borders of St. Iiuls. The thrifty German storekeepers and farmers found that to reach their church on Sunday was always n. tedious drive through thu woods. The schoolhous" on Sixth street was unite cen trally located, but It was always a strain on the piety of those who had a long way Io go. and the Eiders foresaw- that in win ter their ranks would be sadly thinned. So they set nlsiut to plan to obviate this fall ing eff from grace, and the congregation linally was called together and decided to buy two plats of ground. In North St. Louis and In South St. l.ou!s. Upon these churches were to bo built and the clergy man was Io preach In them every' alternule Sunday. Hon- the Clnircliei Thrived. One church was erected at Fourteenth and Carr streets and lhe other near Third and Soulard streets. Hut they were IkjUi governed by the fame trustees and were one congregation, though they did worship under different roofs. I,ate In the year. August Henry Saeer was installed with much ceremony as teacher of the narisli school of the church at Fourteenth and Carr streets, and he gathered around him tne children or tne congregation and taught them German. As Mr. Sueger was an or ganist as well as an educator, the church procured an organ. Almut the same time n cemetery wai purchased. srstant. as he was unable to attend to both churches with proper care, and so the llev erend lialtzer was called. Hut then came the cholera which gtoutly deitopulalcd the city. Many of the Evan gelical children biicamo orphans on the loinds of their congregation. The church came to their aid nobly, and manv owe to it i hanks for a careful rearing. And manv children of other fa' t lis were assisted as well iis wi'ljw and destitute sick. As an liidii-utioii of the pniNpertlty of the congregHllon, It should Ik- nided that in l!vio. the vear after Ihe great cholera visi tation, the congregation derided to build the edifice at Fourumih and Carr streets, whiih is the occasion of to-day's jubili-e. When St. l'et-s church cornerstone was laid it was most nihhatUullv stipulated 1,1 the n.ipers ifra i if: phtied in it th.it lh building hould iiey. r belong or be deeded to anv other dt linnm.atiou confession; and the o.-tnus .if in persons v. ho wera member-- : lie mogreuation weie pLiced n the -tone.

Beside" they arranged cnurtair.m.nt. the proceeds of which were for the mainte nance of widows Protestant Germans, al most to a man, supported the Vr.loii in the Civil War. and the memh-rvhip i,f St. Pel. r's Church wis) co-srdt.rabiv !.. limited tnrough the loss of tho-. who fell on some of tin- notable IiattlefTelde. After tie war. wn. i. t.ie business of the cily boomed, most of the German residents moved north and west, and interest in tha church i-cbool dee lined. The members, how ever, e-ame as regularly to worship from tlieie distant homes as when they were all huddled under the Ire of the church. On Sunday.

ZL I do not thlnfe it wise for an actor to reply to a critic It cannot do the actor any good.

GENERAL WHEELER'S REPORT. alade Several lit'comniendntioiis for Ittiprovinjr the Army Service. Chicago, Sept. 12. Important recommenda tions for ImprovlnS the army service are mado In the annual report ot the Depart ment of tlie Lakes, made public here tu daj. The report was compiled by General Joseph Wheeler before hU retirament. "At least four-iifths of the rtvrtilts fiom this iinmirtmini." reads the rcilort. "have I none Into foreicn service, without any in This was three years after Ihe secession I struction In rille practice, and many of and both churches were fioi.'rihiii":.

J Personally I feel very much gratified at the result of my jump from comedy and melodrama to the very highest a.iempi an actor can make. 1 do not imagine my rep resentation of Hamlet i i,etfect. No actor of Hamlet ever felt contented en any nlsht he ever played it. Every time I produce It I wl.-h I could go on and do It all over again. To be compared with J too Hi. to be men tioned in the same breath with him, is terrible ordeal, but what on earth would be iiiiw of our theater if no onu tried? These comparisons are made In an uncharitable .-yirlt. I loved my father very dearly and revcie his memory, but do you think I would denounce Wyndham for playing David Garrick? Of course. It Is quite right to Judge an at tempt like mine by the very highest stand ards, otherwise we should never have good work. The criticisms were very gratifying and encouraging, though they lacked the quality of adulation. They we:re very careiui, and whatever praise there was was given grudgingly. I was placed at a disadvan tage, of course. The public found It hard to fancy Lord Churaley a the Prince of Denmark. Silll, In acting you do not harp on one string. Bvery love story is comedy and tragedy, too. If a man plays comedy well thete is no reason why he should not try more exacting parts. Look at Irving, Tree ami Mansrield, who cm play anything, llooth. when lid liked, could be a wonderful comedian. As for the play, every man has his own opinion about Hamlet, and often denounces violently those who differ from him. My view U not original. I ttniply side with the party that holds that Hamlet was not in sane. His condition all through the v'ay Is un derstandable. Some of the critics said ta tirieaPy that my rendition was understand able and without mystery. I take that ui a. compliment. It Is how I meant to -play it. In his scene with Ophelia, be Is not try ing to exhibit u ptetense of insanity. He loves her. He determine to break nw-a 'rom her because of his mother's crime. He cannot a-cusc her. for she h.i.: done noth ing; so ho accuses himself of being un worthy. He talks against marriage, think ing of the ghastly state of affairs between bus father, mother and uncle. He shows his dread thnt if Ophelia. marr!e her beauty may be the ruin of ids honesty, as it was of his mother's. When he thinks of his mother's crime, the cause of his breaking off from Ophelia, he is thrown into an emotional condition re sembling insanity. He wants no more mar riages, and ttlls Ophelia to po to a nunnery I cannot see that be Is pretending any thing. He Is giving out his whole heart ti the woman he loves. He cannot tell her o' the ghost's message or of his mother's crime, and sho thinks him mad. I have been denounceel for making thi--a love scene. I do. I make Hamlet plv.1 every evidence of Ids love for Ophelia, and I make her give every sign of her love for him. It Is the most terrible love scene on the stage. A "love- scene" Is not necessarily a silly kijsing incident between two chuckle heads, a; some of ihe critics think. Thcra are tragic love scenes, and this is one oa them for who can doubt the love ot Ham let and Ophelia for each other? JENNIE PEARL MERRET DEAD.
