INTO DARKEST AFRICA.
tho Haaardone Ventura of I
d a
American MlMtonarleft.
The recent brutal butchery of Chris
tians in China does not seem to deter
other missiona
ries from seeking
dangerous fields
in uncivilized
and semicivil
ized countries for
the spread of the
gospel. In spite
of the dangers
which await
them a small
party of religions
workers, compos
ing the African
Inland mission.
EEV. PETER a SCOTT. bag jst xt oni
from Philadelphia far (he region of the
Sudan, tho most dangerous mission field
in the world.
The party is under the leadership of
the Rev. Peter Cameron Scott, an en
thusiastic and determined yonng clergy
man. He has spent seven of the Si) years
of his life in Africa, two years of that
time in the interior of the dark conti
nent. Among those who will accompany
him on his perilous mission is his sis
ter. Miss Margaret Scott, who has re
cently returned from missionary work
on the Kongo river. Before beginning
their pilgrimage to darkest Africa they
expressed tho belief that they would be
successful ia overcoming the supersti
tions and bitter prejudices of the sav
ages and were full of hope and oourage.
It is the purpose of Mr. Scott and bis
associates to land at Mombasa, on the
eastern coast of Africa, and proceed at
once to Mount Kilima-Njaro, where a
station will be established. From this
point the missionaries will work north
ward along the mountains of the Sudan.
Little if any Christian missionary
work has hitherto been done in this vast
region of eastern Africa, where there
are 80,000,000 people wholly without
the teachings of the gospel. It is ac
knowledged to be the most perilous mis
sion field in the world, both on account
of the climate and the bitter hatred and
hostility of the Moslems, who bold al
most undisputed sway in that portion of
the dark continent. Facing the dangers
of disease, the savage natives and the
bloodthirsty and marauding Arabs, this
little band of Christian teachers carry
their lives in their hands, and that some
or all of them will be sacrificed on the
altar of their devotion seems more than
probable.
HE REFUSED TO DRINK.
Colonel Wilson Declined to Imbibe With
the President of the United State.
Colonel John M. Wilson of the engi
neer corps of the United States army is
a familiar and popular figure in the
military and social life of the national
capital. By virtue of the retirement of
Genera Henry h. Abbot under the age
COLOSEL JOHN M. WILSOS.
limit Colonel Wilson was recently trans
ferred from Washington to the northeast
division, which includes New York and
Now England.
Colonel Wilson has had the rather
unique and, for an army officer, unusu
al experience of having refused to drink
with two presidents of the United
States. The first occasion was at the
close of the long and fatiguing day of
Cleveland's first inauguration, in con
ducting tho details of which Colonel
Wilson had an important part. When it
was all over the president suggested that
they take a "quiet little drink" togeth
er. A decanter of whisky was pro
duced. With a moral oourage not less
consnicnons than had hrwn his nlivninnl
courage in the time of war the colonel
firmly declined the invitation of the na
tion's chief executive, saying, "I can
not join yon in a drink of whisky, for I
have never drunk spirits and never mean
to do so. " The colonel therefore pledged
the president's health in a glass of apol
linaria. Be had a similar experience on
the occasion of Harrison's inauguration.
As before, the president, after con
gratulating him upon the successful
management of the ceremonies, suggest-
-J .1 . il .- 1 aii . .1
eu uiui tuey iuko a utiuk rogeiner in
honor of the occasion. Colonel Wilson
again declined, and drank President
Harrison's health in a glass of water.
Colonel Wilson has had a rather
brilliant military career and combines
in a high degree the distinguishing
traits of a soldier and a gentleman. He
was born in the District of Columbia,
and is about 55 years of age. He entered
West Point in 1855, being appointed
from Washington territory, and gradu
ated in 1800, joining the engineer corps,
with which he has since been connected.
He served with distinction all through
the war of the rebellion and was suc
cessively promoted for gallant and mer
itorious service in the battle of Qaines
Mill, Va., at Malvern Hill, during the
campaign around Mobile, in the capture
of Spanish Fort and at Fort Blakeley,
Ala. His present rank is that of lieu
tenant colonel of engineers. During
President Cleveland's two terms he has
held the position of superintendent of
publio buildings and grounds at Wash
ington. For four years he was superin
tendent of the United States Military

THE LATE MRS. ASTOR.
CM Off In the Flower of tier Yonth, Eh
Vied In StranEO Land.
Had Mrs. William Waldorf Astor
lived and died in Now York, hor nat
ural and proper home, bcr doath would
have been reckoned little short of a gen
eral calamity.
As her husband saw fit to expatriate
himself and cultivate an indifference,
if not a positive hostility, to everything
American, except tho huge income be
derives from his native soil, Mrs. As
tor '8 death will causo a slight sensation
in England and a faraway feeling of re
grot in New York.
Mamie Paul was scarcely fitted to be
the wifo of the cold, proud, sensitive
man who was head of the greatest fam
ily and fortune in American.
She was an extremely simple and un
affected girl, who oared as little as pes
siblo for pomp and ceremony and still
less for gewgaws and jewels.
She would have made an admirable
wifo for a business man of moderate
means and would have adorned a oot
tage with more grace and interest than
she displayed in presiding over the
splendors of Cliveden.
She was forced by her husband into a
foolish quarrel with tho other branch of
the Astor family, and after that was just
as willing to live abroad as among her
own kinsfolk.
Her married lifo could not have been
a disappointment, though, for sho had
four charming children and was a most
loving and devoted mother.
Cut off in the flower of her yonth and
beauty and dying in a strange land, her
short career may servo as a lesson on the
mutability of fate to thoso young wo
men who cried their eyes out with envy
and disappointment when her engage
ment to Wiliie Astor was announced.
The Astor family certainly deserves
all the commiseration it should receive,
for it has been getting some pretty hard
and undeserved knocks of late. Cholly

WOMEN IN BRITISH POLITICS.
They Are Conducting! a Three Cornered
Campaign For the Premiership.
The influence of women in the high
plaoes ot British politics has not been
conspicuous in this geueration. This fact
adds interest to the particularly warm
feminine campaign which has been
waged ever since Tory minds became
convinced of the probability of an early
return of the Conservative party to pow
er. The prize which tho fair disputants
are struggling for is no less than the
premiership of England. Three of tho
most brilliant women in Great Britain
are the leaders of rival hosts which with
in the higher ciroles of Tory society are
keenly pressing the claims of their re
spective champions.
Theso ladies are the Duchess of Devon
shire, the Marchioness of Salisbury
Miss Balfour. It is not an exaggeration
to say that the ambition for the party's
leadership of the three men whose names
these ladies bear has been allowed to
rest in their bands as far as seeking sup
port within the party is concerned. It
is uo vulgar political canvass, but rival
ry none the less genuine and important
Those who know the three women credit
the Duchess of Devonshire with greater
skill and cleverness in political affairs
than her husband or indeed most of the
other party leaders, but most people
agree that her present task is beyojd
her powers.
The situation most favors Miss Bal
four. The ardor with whioh she is
championing her brother's cause is ex
citing a good deal of admiration, albeit
she succeeded somewhat in offending
her aunt, the Marchioness of Salisbury,
by the warmth of ber advocacy. It must
be admitted that Mr. Balfour's follow
ing within the party is now consider
ably stronger than Lord Salisbury 'e

Perfect Honse Unearthed Near Fompell.
A valuable discovery has been made
at Pianella-Setteimini, near Pompeii,
on the property of a certain Vincent de
Prosca A house has been unearthed
which was covered at the timo the city
was buried, and it is said to be in a
more perfect condition than any build
ing yet discovered. It contains several
large apartments and three bathrooms,
with the basins in sculptured marble,
and with leaden pipes ornamented with
bronze faucets. The three rooms corre
spond, says a writer in describing the dis
covery, to the "calidarium, tepidarium
and frigidarium which were always to
be found in ancient bouses of tho first
class. In consequence of the eruption of
Vesuvius in A. D. 79 the Pompeiian
houses brought to light heretofore have
been roofless almost without exception.
Fortunately, however, that on tho prop
erty of M. do Prosco is perfect, and ar
chaeologists are happy over the fact
The roof measures almost 44 feet in
length." Rome Letter.
Number of Postage Stamps Used.
Two hundred million 2 cent postage
stamps that are reported as worthless
by postmasters throughout the country
have been called in by the postmaster
general and will be destroyed. Although
200,000,000 seems to be an enormous
number, it is really trifling compared
with the number of stamps used by the
American peoplo each year and would
last less than 20 days. It requires about
12,000,000 stamps a day to conduot the
correspondence of our population, or a
total of 4,880,000,000 for the year.
There is hot as much letter writing these
times as there was when the country
was more prosperous, but a deoided in
crease has been noticeable during the
last two months. The weight of the
mails is an accurate barometer of busi
ness affairs. Indianapolis Sentinel.
Got Their Itemised Statement,
A bill nine feet long was presented
to the Montgomery (Pa.) county com
missioners at their last meeting. The
amount was (2,288.80 for repairs to a
county bridge in Skippack. A previous
bill bad been rendered "in the lamp,"
and a request was made for an item

OUR AMERICAN SUGAR
It Should Be Used ia Prefer
ence to China's Product
ENCOURAGE HOME INDUSTRIE?
Every American Should Demand the
Native Product mid See That
He Gets It.
It is a singular thing that, while the
inhabitants of the United btatos are a
most prosperous people and consume
mure of both tho necessities and lux
uries of life, generally speaking, they
are behind the English in the con
sumption of sugar.
In 1890-91 the sugar used in the
United Kingdom was au amount equal
to T81 1-2 pounds per capita, while the
figures show an averogo consumption
in the United States of only 591 1-2
pounds per capita.
What the reasons are for this great
difference have puzzled many per
sons, aud we must look carefully for
them if we are to find the causes.
Amerioan workmen receive more pay
thou the laborers of any other country,
and as a rule have the money to obtain
for their table everything wanted. It
seems fair to assume that the older the
country and civilization tho more care
fully are the questions of household
economy and hygiene studied, and if
this is true why can we not argue from
the premise stated that we have failed
to a great degree in discovering the
wholesomeness and the economy of
using large amounts of sugar?
Looking at this question from the
national side we see some reasons why
we should be heavy consumers of
sweets and again we see that we are
obliged to buy most of the sugar we
use from other countries, and we owe
it to ourselves to carefully oonsider
what we as individuals can do to stim
ulate the sugar producing and sugar
manufacturing and sugar consuming
industries of our country.
The United States sent out of the
country in 1893 the enormous sum of
$116,000,000 forsugnr, and this amount
if it could only have been retained at
home would have done muoh to make
this country prosperous and would
have been a great help during the
awful panio of the last two years.
The policy of the United States has
been very clearly determined to be of
protection to home industry and home
manufactures, and whether we con
sider the recent tariff laws as wise or
unwise the fact remains that they are
unpopular and do not fill the bill.
The question of protection is popular
and if the voice of the people is the
voice of wisdom we may all be pardon
ed for the maintenance of those opin
ions which will help to shape the do
mestio and foreign policies of the
United States for the ensuing generation.-
If it were necessary that we should
buy a staple like sugar abroad in order
that we might sell our surplus of other
products we might perhaps as well buy
sugar as anything else, but this is not
the case. We can sell our products at
the world's price, and that is what we
do always when "we export; if we can
take back coin instead of other prod
ucts that under the right conditions
we can raise at home we are so much
the better off and the imports of
money will assist us in maintaining
our currency without having to pay
such prices for our oredit as we have
recently paid.
Again we come to the question of
practical importance: How can you
as a citizen do anything to promote the
objects the country desires to obtain?
In the first place, what kind of sugar
do you consume yourself?
Charity and wisdom begin, or should
begin, at home.
If you buy sugar, do you ever in
quire as to whether you are getting
that of domestic production or manu
facture? If you do not you have neg
lected your duty as an American citi
zen and you should remove the beam
of carelessness from your own eye be
fore ynu censure your representatives
and senators for overlooking some
things that might promote the welfare
of your country.
It is true that we not only import
immense quantities of raw sugar btt
on the Paoiflo coast a pernicious trade
has recently sprung up in the manu
factured sugar of China, many retail
grocers handling it surreptitiously.
Think of it, in a seotion of the
United States as sparsely capitalized
as the West coast, actually sending its
money to a notoriously cheap labor
coantry for an article of household con
sumption which is refined and produced
at home.
Ot what use are such legislative en
actments as the Chinese exclusion act
if our people, the very ones who were
most clamorous for the prevention of
the competition of cheap labor, are go
ing to suffer their hard earned coin to
be . sent to China for sugar refined
there?
The idea that the price of sugar is
kept at its present low figures on the
Pacific coast by the importation of
Hong Kong sugar is an erroneous one,
for whenever the American refineries
advance the Chinese importers have
invariably followed. If American
granulated sugar was selling at say
nine cents today the price of foreign
would be about the same. The truth
is that supply and demand makes the
world's market on sugar as it does on
wheat and other great staples, and
when the New York and London mar
kets advance or deoline the price of all
sugars, either American or Chinese, is
immediately affected.
Ask your dealer for American-made
sugar and do not be afraid to ask him
if he handles the China goods, and if
he does read him a lecture on his poli
tics and morals, aud you will have ful
filled part of your duty as a ctizen.
Many leading stores now display signs,
"We Handle the American Refined
Sugars Only."
From a hygieuio standpoint it should
be remembered cholera is now raging
in the Orient. San Francisco s board oi
health has determined to take every
precaution to prevent the disease from
obtaining a foot-hold in this city, and
to that end Chinatown will be subject1
ed to a rigid examination. The phy
lieians composing the boardoonsider
that it by any chance cholera should
ain a foothold in this city it would
make its appearance in the Chinese
quarter, where the crowded condition
of the narrow street and the illy-ventilated
houses have provided a material
breeding place for the plague.
All the sugar that uoiues to the
Northwest is from Hong Kong, au in
fected port, aud is handled by coolies
(here probably close to cholera pa
tients. A well-kuown nmuufacturer
and agent in tho Orient says:
"Every packago of merchandise,
jugar, silk, etc., should bo thoroughly
fumigated aud the cholera germs, il
auy, thus eradicated. Think of Amer
icas using sukhm and silks handled aud
worked upon by natives who receive 12
ooii ts a day for their labor and live in
squalor aud dirt with pestilence and
disease raging uoarVy."
The sugar business of this country is
lurgely in the hands of a great combi
nation, but the reason for this is that
the policy of our legislators has been
so parsimonious that instead of build
ing up the small factories for the man
ufacture of beet sugar, the bounty hus
been withdrawn aud our people have
been discouraged in working up the in
dustry. Time will come when in every state
there will bo refineries aud no section
of the world can produce better beets
than Oregon and Washington. If,
therefore, you wish to live to ace the
dawn ot that day when the millions
spent for sugar will be kept at homo
begin as you are now advised to do and
buy American sugar and enoouiage
those who are waiting for the proper
opening to appear when they can engage
in the production and manufacture of
domestic .sugar.
A Sparrow Chorihtt'r.
The Free Parish church congrega
tion had rather nn amusing experi
ence ono Sunday. A littlo sparrow,
evidently tired of the warring of the
elements outside the kirk, thought it
would pay a visit inside and did so,
not by the orthodox manner, coming
through the door and leaving a do
nation in tho plate, but through the
window, thereby dodging the elders'
eagle eyes. Just as it arrived and
had started a choery chirruping the
choir rose up and burst into the well
known hymn, 'Return, O Wander
er, to Thy Homo." The visitor, how
ever, did not take the Tiint, but re
mained to the end of the service and
assisted the choir at intervals.

Dull eyes, the sallow or wrinkled face and
