A Native Of Springfield Writes an Inter
estinR Letter from the Mission Fields of
Central Africa.
The REPUBLIC Is permitted to make
some extracts from letter dated October
80, last, written by Rev. VIM. E. Fay. the
missionary, to the Ladies' Mission Circle OF
Lagonds avenue church. 1t gives very
many points Of information regarding the
heart of the Ozark Continent" Of interest
to people who have, a. well rs those who
have not. personal regard for the mission
cause. Rev. Mr.. Fay expresses his salts
faction with the organization Of the new
church on the avenue, and wishes for it
much success.
or affairs at Kanundongo, Blhe, his sta
ton, he writes: '.As you have heard odr
old osoms (chief) Is dead; poisoned by his
own hand with the drink prepared to pois-
on one of his people. He was a good be-
ginning for tyrant and we could not help
q sigh Of relief when he was taken away,
although we could not but feel sad that he
had died even as he had lived; without hope
and without God. In fact he called him
self the God Of this people. IL his place
now man of more quiet disposition has
come to the throne. How he will turn
out when he is fully crowned we DO not
know, for at first the new chiefs go slow
ly In assuming their prerogatives. Be-
fore king Is secure on his throne he
must have sent out two war. or plum
dering expeditions. One or two human
victims must be sacrificed and IN the last
instance the flesh of one must be prepared
with the flesh of an OK and be eaten In one
Of their ceremonies. 1t seems serange that
people who have so much good about them
should put trust In such cruel rites. Still
these people are not so cruel. by far. in
their rites, as were our ancestors of Old
Bdtain. A Thousand years have made
England and America what they are, from
barbarians, by the influence of Christ. So
We will not despair OF these people who
have much Of evil about them, yet who. il
christianized, would be worth the time an
expense OF life and treasure to save.
Mr.. Fay describes the methods pursued
in teaching and preaching to the people.
and the drawbacks under which the mis-
sionaries constantly labor, as the peOplr
have little or no comprehension Of that
which the missionaries are trying to tell
them and. II their ye Imperfect com-
mand Of the language of the country. the
latter are often misunderstood They have
what they call baby organ" (portable)
which is great source Of delight and won
derment TO the natives and never fails a.
draw crowd. In this manner, on one
Sunday, Mr.. Fay was able to speak to
about ninety, all told. Boys are
brought to the mission sta

10 put Oft for the present the execution OF
the sentence OF death pronounced upon
Brooks, alias Maxwell, by the State court
A decision was rendered in the United
States supreme court today upon the APP
plica,ion for q rchearing OF the case Of
VIM, II, Andrews and others against
George llovey, which is widely known as
the driven well case" This court held
that the patent issued TO Nelson w. Green
In 1871 for an improvement in the method
OF constructing artcsian wells was invalid
because the invention covered by ii was
in public use more than two years before
Green applied for the patent. The court
after an exhaustive review Of the whole
case adheres to its decision and denies the
application for rchcaring. Opinion by
Justice Blatchelford.
A decision was also rendered in the Sc
rics OF important cases in which the city
OF lloboken, N. j., appears as plaintiff in
error against the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, Adolph II. Schmidt, the Ham
burg American Steam Packet company
and the North-German Steamship conpa-
ny. These suits were actions OF ejectment
brought by the cityof lIobokcn against the
several defendants, for the purpose OF en-
forcing the city's alleged right 10 extend a
number OF lis streets through the lands Of
the defendants 10 the nayigablc waters OF
the Hudson river. The city claims the
right of extension by virtue OF dedication
made In the year 1904 by Col. John Ste
vens, who was then the owner of between
500 and GOO acres OF land on the western
shore OF the Hudson river, where the city
OF lIoboken now stands. Tho defendants
resist the suits on the ground that the title
OF Col. Stevens was limited 10 the high
water mark Of the river In 1901 that the
soil below the high water mark, as II then
existed, belonged TO the State Of New Jcr
sey, which not only has never acquicsced
In any easement over the land, but by va
rious enaclments has conferred
upon the defendants Of their
grantors an absolute title in
consistent with any right Of way in the
public over the same. This court in u
very long aud elaborate opinion by Justice
Matthew'S, holds that the grants from the
State Of New jersey, under which the de-
PENDANTS respectively claim, are q complete
bar 10 the recovery sought against them In
these suits. The several judgments Of the
circuit court In favor OF Schmidt and the
railroad and steamship companies are
therefore affirmed, The value Of the lands
involved in this litigation is said to be
very great.
A decision was also rendered In the case
o. the administrators Of Milo lIoadlcy, de-
ceased, against the city OF San Francisco, n
case which involves tho title 10 certain
lands in that city, including parts Of the
"Alta Plaza" and Hamilton square, and
also the validity and scope 81 what IL
known as "the Van Ness ordnance. 4"
The supreme court Of California decided
that tho title 10 the land in controversy
was In the city, and enjoined IIoadey
from modelling or interfering with the
same. This court anirms that decision.
