THE MISSIONARY
An evangelist, W. T. Bolton, is iu
Eog'.and denouncing: the French noil
Spanish troops for the treatment which
he alleges is being given the Moors
during the tightiog since the Holy War
broke out. He states, ''I d*'dar?
France deliberately arranged to cause
the di.turbacces at Casa lllnuca as in
act of pretty revenge. Though my
country has alliances with both t ranee
and Spain 1 consider it my duty to
reveal the truth." As a general thing
it is just such uersons as Mr. llolion
who are at the bottom of all the
troubles which arise iu the semi-civil
ized countries. They -eek an easy liv
ing by becoming missionaries in far
away iands, get into some trivial dis
pute with >oine half crazy native aud
involve their country's consul in the
matter, which is accordingly maf uilied
until troops are called iu the Bold and
after *>tue of the savage* are slain the
matter dies out. Then the Missionary
returns to this country and poses as a
martyr, goes on the Kcture platform,
tells of the sutferinxs endured in
spreading the doctrine of iruth, get
rich aed live the fabled ripe old age
This Mr. Bo toe belongs in the same
category a? Miss K len Stone, the itoston
lady who wis taken by Kaisuli, tne
same robber chief who is at the head of
the present troub e, and held until
Americans raised a big ransom and
bought het relea-e. After she was re
le.ised she weut on the lecture plat
form and wrote for McClure'a maga
zine. she mule something over $75,' 00
in eight months and omeone suggested
tha*. she return the money which was
raised to secure her release, but Miss
Ellen M. Stone evidently thought more
of her do! iars than she did of her de*
sire to save the unenlightened, for
while she willingly gave up her ??call
iui?" and ounaged to [seperate herself
from vhe labor of saving souls, she
steadfastly declined to separate S.erself
from the money she h d been p>id for
lecturing about her "captivity" and
the idea the followers of Miss Stoop had
planned of building a hospital for the
little childreu with the funds Miss
Stone was showered with on the lecture
platform went glimmering.
The glory of t'.ie missionary Is fading.
The history of the religious worker ic
theolden time is the brightest page in
the histor) of our northern country.

among the Indians in Michigan and died

IHE SITKA SPRINGS
U would It: almost a Godsend if tbe
springs uear Sitka were filled with
good !>'oppin, ' places. A hotel would
undoubtedly pay wtll there, as there is
no qu->stiou but what the springs have
rasny medicinal and curative qualities,
aud hundreds tf people wou'd visit
there annual!; if there was a place to
stop while taking fie bath-.. The ef
fort now being mide to obtain a lease
from th? government is an excellent
one, and while there is always a lot of
red tape connected with such move
meat^. ihe prospects are thit in the
end the lease will ba obtained, and that
Sitka will become the Mecca of people
who require the assistance of its excel
lent waters.
Warm Springs Bay springs possess as
much merit as those at Hir Springs
Arkansas, but they have never been ad
vertised. Because they are in an out of
the way place, they have received but
little attention. However, it is in out
of tbe way places that nature some
times ooncsals many of her greatest
boons to mankind.

THE VANISHED DAYS
(Atlanta Oporglan)
I.ay the jest about the julep Id the
camphor balls at last,
Fur the miracle has happened and the
olden da;* are past;
That which makes Milwaukee thirsty
does Dot foam In Tennessee.
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight
locked as can be ?
O the comic paper colonel and his cro
nies a ell m?y sigh,
For the mint Is waving greyly, but the
South is going dry.
By the ttlllsidc on the hillside in Ken -
tuck; all is still,
For the only damp refreshment must be
dipped from the rill;
Xo'tii Oa'llna's stately ruler gives ifis
soda gia?s a shove,
And discusses local option with the
South (.Vlina gov ;
It is ueeless at the fountain to be wink
ful o' the eye
For the cjclctaii glass is ilu?ty and the
South is going dry.
It is water, water every wli.-re, and not
a drop to drink;
We no longt-r hear the music of the
mellow crystal clink.
When the colonel and tho major a-id
the gen'l at d the jedge
Meet to have n Utile nip to give their
appetite* mi edije,
For the eggnog is now oogless and the
rye bus gone awry,
And the punch bowl holds carnation*,
and the South is going dry.
All the nlghtc:ps now have tassels and
are worn upon the head
Not the nightcaps that were taken when
nobody went to be<l;
And the breeze a'xive the bluegrass is
as solemn as is death,
For it bears no pungent clove- tan? on
itsodcrlfic brea'li,
And each man can walk a chalk line
when the stars are in the sky.
For the tl/.r. glass now is fixxless, and the
South is going dry.
Lay the jest about the julep 'neath the
chestnut tree at last,
For there's but one kind of moonshine
and the olden days ere past;
For the water wagon rumbles through
th? Southland on its trip.
And it helps no one to drop off to pick
up the driver's whip.
For the mint bed* uiake a pisture ami
the cork?crew hangeth h'gb.
All is still along the st'.llside and the
South Is going dry.
Chicago, Sept. :t? The strenuous life
Is killing the men of Chicago at a tre
mendous rate, while the women of the
city Hie intreasing their longevity >>y
the simple life. In the wet kly ottciai
health bu 'latin, Health Commissioner
Evans draws startling ccoc usious from
the death rate in Chicago for 20 ye^rs,
anl particularly that of the la^t seven
months, when 12,000 men died, as cot':
paroii with 5,000 women. H ? says that
in the last year the ratio o* ditTerence
in llie death r.ite between mm and
women has been ;t0, against less th n 10
per cent 20 ye rs ago Thf cause for
Tothys dispatches say vital statistics
in Chicago shows that the death rate
is much l-?avier among men than
amoie women, particularly during the
past seven mouths, when 12,000 men
passu} in their checks to 8,000 women
who went to s eep " 'neath the daisies."
Tne health commissioner points c ut
that the ratio of ditTereica for tlis
period his beeu thirty per cent as
against ten per cent thirty years ago.
J; states that the men are simply li\
ing at a rate that Is thirty per cent
(aster than the women, in business and
pleasure. The remedy, ?ccordins to
an eminent physician lies in a return to
the simple life. The remedy is simple
enough but as for the men, they simply

SITUATION IN MOROCCO ASSUMES MORE
SERIOUS ASPECT-COUNTRY ABLAZE
WITH RELI6I0US FANATICS
The Dally Alaskan Cable.
I'aris, Sept. 3? The Moroccan situa- !
tion is regarded here as having as- 1
sumed a distinctly more serious aspect.
The ferment in the interior of Moroc
co, the proclamation of Mulai liafig,
he sultan's brother, *s sultin bv a sec
tion of the rebels, and the appearance
of a new Moorish army before Casa :
3lanca have created the fear that th ? ;
whole country will soon be ablaze with :
fanaticism.
Special dispatches received here to
day from Tangier say that Mulai Qatig,
the brother of the sultan of Morocco,
who recently was proclaimed sultan, is
marching on Casa Blanca with Moorish
reinforcements to the number of 15.0C0
men, recruited from the most fierce and
