ON THE TRAIL OF THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY Missions Are Worth While on Ceylon's Spioy Isle Colombo, Ceylon.--Reginald Heber has taught more people than have the geographies that there is such a place as Ceylon, and he has determined their Impression of it. For everybody knows hla hymn, "From Greenland I Icy Mountains." which runs: "What thougji the' spicy bree*ea Blow soft o'er Ceylon's Isle, Where every prospect pleases, • And only man to vile." That is a trifle hard on Ceylon, but It has forever marked this island as Identified with Christian missions. And they are here, not so apparent, perhaps, as the pleasing prospects, for this is a singularly beautiful land, but still easily discernible to a seeking eye. The first signs,of Christianity, in this land of palms, spices and tea, are the lofty church spires of Colombo; the next, the silver crosses about the necks of the diving boys. The Diving Boys of Colombo. As the ocean liner approaches her moorings she is surrounded by a fleet of home-made canoes containing na- somewhat feminine people. With good features, an erect carriage and lithe, well-formed bodies, shining in the sun, these soft-eyed men look like philoso­ phers; it is distinctly a shock to find that practically everyone you meet is either quick to beg a gratuity or skillful in cheating you. The children, veritable black cherubs, run after your carriage, touching their foreheads and crying, "Got no mommer, got no pop­ per. Please, master, penny." It is not wailing mendicancy; the persistent lit tie beggars are all the while trying to smile the money out of your pockets. But the spirit of servility seems gen­ eral; self-respecting independence is a quality chiefly notable for its ab- A False Tooth Worshipped. This is a center of Buddhism. It is to Kandy, the ancient capital, that Buddhists make pilgrimages from all over the island, and also from India. Our Buddhist guide naively informed us that "All the world comes to Kandy ployed in the government stores who is permitted to go and come as he without inspection at the a.

And wonderful little amphibi­ ous animals they are, following the glitter of a far-flung coin clear to the * bottom of the bay, or indulging in a 39ght under water for the possession of it. Given the opportunity, one of the 7 lustrous-eyed urchins with the sua- bleached hair will dive 30 feet from >.• the ship's rail in pursuit of a coin. Long after the passengers have wear­ ied dt the amusement the boys will still surround the ship with their cries and their oft-repeated song, "Ta- ra-ra ra-boom-de-laf," until the traveler Is quite ready to assent to the hymn- Writer's declaration that the Singhalese are "vile." These boys are mostly Roman Cath­ olic, as are nine-tenths of the Chris- Jtians in the island. 80 effective has imisslon work been that Christians are always included by the natives in any enumeration of the religions of Cey­ lon. Ten per cent, of the island's pop­ ulation of three and a half million people is Christian. The prevailing faiths are in this numerical order: Buddhist, Hindu, Mohammedan and Christian. Except for the crosses and every full moon." For at Kandy is the famous shrine containing Buddha's tooth. The tooth that is annually dis­ played is bogus, the original having been taken away and destroyed by the Portuguese, although the temple at­ tendants deny this. Said one of them: "Of course this is the real tooth, else why would millions of people worship it?" This reasoning satisfied him, as it did the other devout worshippers whom I saw at the shrine. The Bo Tree and the Cricket Match. Ask the driver of a Colombo gharl to take you to see a banyan tree and he will drive you to the Young Men's Christian association grounds, where a large and beautiful specimen of the famous tree shades the imposing red brick building which represents Amer­ ica's Interest in the young men of Colombo. On the other side of the front of the building is a sacred bo tree, which Imparts sanctity to the site, in the eyes of the Buddhists. The original location of the association building, given by the city, took in this bo tree, but as it could not be cut down without a riot, the building was finally erected between the bo and the banyan trees. Under the Sacred Bo Tree, tha Y. M.>. -i scapulars (the natives do not wear ! clothes enough to conceal their scapu­ lars) the Christians may not be known by any outward token. In the case of men, they commonly wear long hair and the comb on top of their heads, which gives them a Mephlstophelian appearance; the poorer people are naked to the waist or wear only a breech-clout. The same is true of the Buddhists. The Hindus are Tamils, from India, and they are smeared oa face and body with various sect marks in ashes. The Tamil women wear nose rings, bracelets, finger rings, anklets and toe rings. The Mohammedan men wear turbans or fez caps and their women, at least of the better class, go veiled. The Singhalese are a flnelooking, but ketter proof or the worth of the as­ sociation tjian these environments, in the eyes of the foreign community, at least, is the fact that its dusky mem­ bers make such a good showing in athletics, k was my fortune to see the Y. M. C. A. team defeat the proud English cricketers, on the latter's own grounds, to the music of 147 to 62 The Englishman is a ggod sportsman and the victory was greeted with cheers from the clubhouse. The whole situation is extraordinary, considering the white man's attitude toward the native races, and it is a fine tribute tc the association. As throwing light on the old charge that native Christians are thieves and liars, and the least de­ sirable employes, I was informed that the crack bowler on the association team is the only native o$|jra eu»- .. A Polyglot Institution. The vigor and popularity of the as­ sociation in Ceylon are attested by the fact that there are 19 branches scat­ tered over the island, with 1,260 mem' bers, of whom 350 are members of stu­ dent associations comprising Burghers (as the half-castes, or Eurasians, are called here), Europeans, Singhalese and Tamils. Religiously, the&e are di­ vided into Parsqes, Mohammedans, Buddhists, Hindus4 and Christians. In one of the. small branches four men lodge; one of these is a Canadian, one a Burgher, one a Singhalese and one a Tamil. Altogether, the associa­ tion provides residence for 22 men. A strong body of leading European resi­ dents direct the work, and there are many Europeans in the membership, but these are such principally from altruistic motives; the membership that enjoys the privileges of the asso­ ciation is clearly native. I found the reading room and restaurant and game room being well patronized. The dis­ tinctively religious work is well devel­ oped, 14 weekly classes for Bible study being maintained. A young Canadian, Mr. C. A. Adams, of Mag-ill university, is the secretary in charge of the Y. M. C. A. work throughout the islands. Young Women's Mission Work. It is somewhat noteworthy that In this old and famous mission field BO prominent a place should be occupied by those modern organizations, the Young Men's Christian association and the Young Women's Christian associ­ ation. Of the latter there ^are 13 branches in Ceylon, Miss Campbell, of Kandy, an English young woman, be­ ing general secretary. A young woman from Iowa, who was for some time sec­ retary of the Y. W. C. A. at German- town, Pa.. Miss M. F. Cross, is in charge of the association In Colombo. In a charming palm-shaded bungalow a home is provided for young women, and a social and religious center main­ tained. While more than a little so­ cial work is done among young women, the success of the religious department has overshadowed all else. Fourteen weekly Bible classes for young wom­ en, 12 in English, one in Singhalese and one in Portuguese, are main­ tained in Colombo alone. The re­ fined, unprofessional atmosphere of the Young Women's Christian associa­ tion work commends It in a peculiar manner. Dusky Salvation Army Lassies. Like, and yet unlike, home are the native Salvation Army lassies, in the familiar red waist and wearing the nickel shield badge, whom one meets In Ceylon. They do not, however, wear the hideous poke bonnet, but, like all native women here, go bare­ headed. In traveling into the interior one finds them at almost every station offering, with the melting smiles that make all Singhalese women attractive, a subscription book, in lieu of the "War Cry." The report is that very good work is done by the Salvation Army among the lower classes of na­ tives. Caste obtains here, as in India, and Is a barrier to religious work. The schools do more than a little to over­ come it. While these articles are confined to American and Canadian missions, the excellent work done by the many British societies is met with at every turn. Most of the missions that dot Ceylon are British; it is to their praise that there is very little criticism of missions here, and'most of that is a mere echo of the prejudice against missions which exists in the world of travel. The educational side of missionary service has been em­ phasized; there is less need for medi­ cal missions than in some other lands. This Is a British crown colony, and the government maintains a system of medical dispensaries, these being, by the way, a development of medical missions. The only two missionary hospitals in Ceylon are maintained by the American board at Jaffna. It is claimed that "India's coral strand" is really at Jaffna, northern Ceylon, where the coral formation is extensive. Probably that had nothing to do with the planting at Jaffna, 90 years ago, of the American board's second oldest mission. This mission, the only strictly American one on the island, was established in 1826, and it has maintained a successful existence ever since. The oldest mission school for girls is at Jaffna, having been in continuous existence sifice 1823. It now has 200 girls In dormitory. The students are chiefly high caste natives, as are most of the Christians, and recently a nota­ bly victory has been won by the mis­ sionaries in requiring the high caste pupils to associate closely, on a basis of equality in all things, with a num­ ber of low caste students who have been admitted. In the school there are no caste lines whatever. Despite this fact, and despite the fact that the school is strongly Christian in charac­ ter, nine-tenths of its pupils becoming members of the church, high-caste, heathen Hindu parents continue to send their daughters, paying a higher tuition than elsewhere. Jaffna district has a Protestant pop­ ulation of 4,499, of whom half belong to the American mission, the other be­ ing divided among several English missions. There are 27,161 Roman Catholics in 1,266 square miles. The whole population is 300,851. The American mission, tyhen all Its work­ ers are in the field, has a force of 14 missionaries, 18 churches, 10 ordained pastors, 23 unordained catechists, 3® jiible women, 6 higher educational in­ stitutions, 128 JpWer achoola, and 1 industrial schi^tS. » - (Copyright, toy JoMpb B.

LONGWORTH'S CONDITION QUITE SATISFACTORY, President's Daughter Has Vermiform Appendix Removed and Is on Way to Recovery. v Washington. -- Mrs. Alice Long- worth, wife of Representative Nich­ olas Longworth, and daughter of President^,,Roosevelt, was operated upon for appendicitis Thursday. The operation, which was performed at the White House by Dr. Finney of Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, as­ sisted by Dr. Sophie Nordhoff-Jung and Surgeon General Rlxey of the navy, was declared by Dr. Rlxey tb have been succcssful in every par­ ticular and to have left the patient in excellent condition. ^ The following bulletin was issued at the White House at nine o'clock Thurs­ day night: "Mrs. Longworth has had a com­ paratively comfortable day. Her gen- Mrs. Alice Longworth. eral condition is satisfactory. No more bulletins will be issued during the night." At the conclusion of the operation Mrs. Longworth emerged from the in­ fluence of the anaesthetio in a very short time and after exchanging a few words with Mrs. Cowles, her aunt, and with her husband, she fell asleep naturally and enjoyed a nap lasting two hours. Her condition was such that President Roosevelt felt little apprehension and in fact did not hesi­ tate to engage in his afternoon tennis game with Ambassador Jusserand, Gif- ford Pinchot and Assistant Attorney General Cooley. The preparations had been making for the operation for nearly 'a month, it being known during that time that Mrs. Longworth was suffering from Incipient inflammation of the vermi­ form appendix. About a week ago preparations were begun for the oper­ ation which it was deemed expedient to undertake before she had suffered a loss of strength that would be sure to ensue from a severe attack of ap­ pendicitis. Washington.--The following bulle­ tin was issued at the White House Friday night at 9:30 o'clock: "Mrs. Longworth had a very good day. She is progressing rapidly and her condi­ tion is entirely satisfactory." Peculiar Suicide in Paris. Paris.--An old man was run down and killed Friday afternoon on the Champs Elysee by an automobile owned by James Watson, of Calumet, Mich. Neither Mr. Watson, who was in the car, nor his French chauffeur, who was driving it, was detained, as the policeman in charge of the regu­ lation of traffic at the Spot where the man was killed, declared it was a case of suicide. New York Banks Swindled. Augusta, Ga.--It was learned here Friday that parties in New York £ave swindled banks in that city out of a large sum of money on fictitious cot­ ton warehouse receipts purporting to be from Augusta.

Lillian Wulff of Chicago Located at III. Momence, 111. -- Little Lillian Wulff, who was kidnaped in Chi­ cago Saturday while playing near her home, was found Friday five miles south of Momence. The man and woman who were her captors were ar­ rested. They gave their names as Mr. and Mrs. William Jones, and said they were on their way from Pennsylvania to Missouri, where they intended set­ tling. They refused to discuss the kidnaping. Jones is about 30 years of age and the woman about 26. The child declared they picked her up on the streets of Chicago, put her in a wagon and drove away. The arrest of the coupl£3baB brougt about through the fact thaf a farmer's wife, living south of Momence, notified Deputy Sheriff Reilly that she had seen a man and woman with a little girl drive past her hoyse in a wagon. Deputy Sheriff Reilly followed them and placed them under arrest. The child acknowledged that her name was Wulff, but said she had been traveling under the name of Jones. According to her story she escaped once while on the road between Kan­ kakee and Chicago, but was recap­ tured. The child has seemingly been' neglected since she was stolen away a week ago, her appearance indicating that in all that time she has gone without bathing. THREE HUNDRED BODIES OUT. Victims of Fairmont Disaster Reach High Total* Monongah, W. Va. -- Over 300 bodies have been removed from the scene of the Fairmont mine ex­ plosion, making the probable death list about 500, according to figures of the rescuers. The opening of the cor­ oner's Inquest has been set for next Monday. Gov. Dawson announced Thursday that he will personally at­ tend the inquiry for the purpose of in­ stituting a rigid investigation with a view to ending West Virginia mine dis­ asters. Relief funds are sufficient lor the immediate wants of widows and or­ phans, but many of these will be de­ pendents for a long time, making nec­ essary a much larger fund. Bishop P. J. Donahue of the Catho­ lic diocese of Wheeling will provide for many of the orphans. He is con­ sidering the leasing of property for a temporary orphanage and .later build­ ing a permanent institution. WOMAN CALLED A FIREBUG. Ohio Temperance and Church Leader Is Arrested.

New York city who" has a few hours to spare but has taken a drive out on Riverside drive, and has been delighted with the charm and beauty of the scenery. But the extension of this driveway, which te to be completed in the spring, will pos­ sess even greater plcturesqueness. In engineering marvels and In the varied beauty of the scenery it will rival the older section which is held to be the noblest and most majestic thorough­ fare in the great city." ' The extension is from One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street northward to One Hundred and Sixty-second street. For nearly four years a small army of masons and general workmen have bfeen employed on the work. More than $3,000,000 has been spent on the construction, and, compared with the cost of othe^ city undertakings, there does cot seem to hafye been any graft in it Despite the litter and the un­ completed state of the work, to-day the new driveway, impresses the vis­ itor strongly by its magnificence^ its massiveness and Its multitude of artis tic details. Aside from its beauty, this new portion of Riverside drive is a remark­ able work owing to the engineering features Involved in its construction Throughout its entire length, prac­ tically, it consists of a "made" road that libs between three granite walls, one at the extreme western side of the width ,of the boulevard, which serves both as a foundation and a re­ taining wall along the tracks of the New York Central road; another high above this, which serves to mark the actual westerly limit of the drive proper, and a third on the^ extreme easterly side of the thoroughfare. Be­ neath the ornamental aspect of this easterly wall is copcealed one of the finest things in the^ whole scheme of the extension, for built directly above Its foundations are pipes for sewer, water supply and electric light con­ duits, these last being installed in a gallery six feet high and four feet fotde, so that men can walk through the gallery the entire length of the new drive to look after the electrical service without * stooping. There are manholes to reacl^ these three sets of pipes every 160 feet along the whole length of the extension. Most of the land taken for the new drive was very low, in many places being only a few feet above the level of the river at high tide. Some idea of the amount of labor and material that was brought into use to bring •sSJEfcS"- ... ... .. ...... the level of the extension up to that of the older portion of the drive may be gathered from the fact that in tifftt' portion south of Trinity cemetery J*. One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street it required two years' work at filling in before the roadway reached its pres­ ent height--70 feet above the Central track at some places along its route The new drive is 10© feet widfe There are two promenades, each It feet wide and flagged with squares of red concrete, that extend along the easterly and westerly sides of the drive throughout its entire length. Next to the westerly walk is a bridla path 20 feet wide, that occasionally. The Shelf Bridge Over the Railroad Tracks. * ,* / ' f '•* owing to the-limited spaoe at the dlV- " posal of the engineer, merges into the main roadway. Between the drive iq0 the bridle path are grass plots in-- closed in concrete ' curbing, aifd throughout the entire length/of th* extension these grass plots are ty have trees and shrubs planted alter­ nately, 25 feet apart. One of the most remarkable en­ gineering features of this extension Is to be found in the two blocks of Its * length between One Hundred and Fi^ty-third and One Hundred and Fifty-fifth streets, in the rear of the • Trinity cemetery. The trustees of thfc cemetery refused permission for the new drive to be cut through their property. To get around this point without sacrificing any of the width of the drive the engineer who designed the extension built a virtual shelf bridge out over the tracks of the Cen­ tral road below by using the cantilever principle. This two-blocks long stretch- of the drive probably has no parallel anywhere. The anchorage of tba cantilever which supports the drive at that point is built into a solid con­ crete foundation. MORGAN'S SUBWAY NEW YORK FINANCIER BUILD8 PRIVATE UNDERGROUND WAY. Like the Castles of Old with Their'Se­ cret Hidden Passages, His Buildings Are Joined by Tunnel. In the days of old no stately castle was complete without its secret un­ derground passageway, built for the purpose of providing a refuge or a way of escape in case of danger. Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan has fitted his resi­ dential plot in New York, city with an underground passage, a subway of elegant, appointments, but with a dif­ ferent purpose than that which actu­ ated the builders of bygone days. He wants his subway for the convenience of himself, his family and his servants and also that the plot of vacant ground may be free for an Italian gar­ den which he has planned shall be in­ stalled by hiB gardener next season. This subway which Mr. Morgan has so quietly constructed that scarcely anyone suspected what was going on, has steps leading from the surface underground, and when one gets be­ neath in the electric lighted passage­ way he finds that it has two branches springing from the main line. Persons passing by the Morgan property have not noticed anything unusual. There have been workmen around, but their actions were not such as to excite curiosity. T-he little rectangular plot of ground bounded by Mr. Morgan's residence, the home of his son, the library and art gallery and the private property in the rear out­ wardly has been as serene and undis­ turbed as usual, but all the while workmen have been burrowing be­ neath the surface, tunneling through the soil like moles in a corn hillock and removing the fresh earth so quiet­ ly as to attract little attention. Prob­ ably even the occupants of the houses directly overlooking the Morgan plot have not dreamed that anything so mysterious was going on beneath the sod' of their distinguished neighbor. The big banker intends tq convert the land in the middle of his jplot into an Italian garden. He has employed an expert landscape gardener to trans­ form the now bare spot into a thing of beauty. He will lay it off into squares and circles and set out rare plants, flowers and shrubs. Naturally, when this garden is completed and all the plants are growing Mr. Morgan doesn't want the servants who make' trips to and fro between his house and that of his son and daughter, both of which are on the same block, and his art gallery, walking over hia garden and possibly trampling on the plants. At the edge of the stable in the rear of the home of J. P. Morgan, Jr., on the Thirty-seventh street side, an opening, covered by a trap door, has been cut into the ground. From this opening the subway, which is ataut 15 feet beneath the surface of tha ground, leads diagonally across tha plot and emerges in the laundry of the Morgan residence, on the corner of Madison avenue and Thirty-sixth street. Two branch subways leave the main line in the middle. One leads into the undergrouhd engine room, situated between Mr. Morgan's home and his library building on the Thirty-sixth street side. This engine room is equipped with the boilers that supply the heat for the different Mor­ gan buildings. The other branch starts toward Park avenue and emerges in the rear wing of the li­ brary and art building. This subway must have cost Mr. Morgan an immense amount of money. Its lining and various fittings, too, must have been very expensive, but it has been constructed so far without spoiling the appearance of the plot and without undue debris, and that is tjie main point. Along the south shore of the Black sea 400,000 acres of land are de­ voted to raising braiil nuts or Alberts. i_n_furuTjxnjnjnjTj*u*u*iAfirirM**<" ^ ̂ ^^^ ̂ * ' ' "" m m u THE BOY AND THE DIALECT.
