Exchange.


A French missionary, who has just
returned from Uganda, shares the opin-
ion held by so many authorities that
Stanley is safe. He declares ii is alb
solutely impossible that, il Stanley
had succumbed TO an attack, the news
should not have reached the missions.
1t seems that when the intrepid trav
cler started from the falls report
was spread that he was going to "eat
up Uganda" according to the express
sion in fashion in those being hted
regions. The missionary thinks that
Stanley is keeping quiet for the pres
ent, either because he has some politi-
cal project in view, which is not yet
ripe, or because he fears that his
appearance might lead to a massacre
of the English and French missionaries,
particularly of the former, who are
now at the court of Monanga, the SOW
ereign of Uganda.
This same Monanga is described as
@ puissant negro king, ruling over ten
million subjects, and as ferocious as
he Is powerful lie is accredited with
being the happy possessor of fifteen
hundred wives, five of whom he daily
kills off for his amusement. Some time
ago Monanga received from Asia
Minor, through the medium of slave
dealers in Egypt, intelligence of the
acquisitions made by England and
Germany on the Zanzibar coast. He
at once assembled all his couriers and
made them swear that they would ex-
terminate all the whites who night seek
to "eat up Uganda" The first result of
the ceremony was the imprisonment
of Mr.. Gordon, an English missionary,
who had unlucki.y selected that very
day to read out to Monanga q letter
from Mr.. Parker, q fellow missionary,
representing that monarch with his
enormities and exhorting him to turn
over new leaf. Mr.. Gordon is, or
was, in durance as a hostage. Mon
anga's very unpleasant behavior to-
wards him warned the French mission
aries to withdraw from his dominions,
the only one who has remained behind
being M. Sourdei, whose medical skill
has been highly appreciated By the
tyrant, who has q decided horror of
death. Monanga is the largest slave
trader in central Africa. He supplies
the Mohammedan dealers annually
with about 15O,O 900 slaves, which are
transported from the Zanzibar coast
to the Persian gulf and the Euphrates.
Landed on the shores of Arabia the
victims are sent to Asiatic Turkey,
where they are sold ION the sly"
through the medium of pashas, who
receive about ten francs per head for
their trouble. Many, however, die on
the road, and sometimes q whole cargo
of these poor people is carried of by
sickness. In short, the story told by
this missionary Is simply heartrend-
ing, and he evidently inclines 10 the
view that Stanley has been excepting
dark" through the fear that the whites
whom Monanga had in his power
might be summarily put to death, with

The teaching Of the nations
history in the public schools is OF

taught by great events and epochs
when impressed upon the young

This is one of the reasons why the

and Why every citizen should help
toward making the occasion one to

"sUrpxR little children TO come
unto me, Is divine injunction.
and one that should not be sneered
at. Referring to IN injunction
granted few days ago By : New
York Judge prohibiting the mama
gers Of the Babies Hospital from
occupying the building which they
had erected on Lexington avenue.
in that city, the Philadelphia Record
SAYS "The idea on which the
Judge based the injunction was that
contagious diseases might be spread
from such place, although it was
shown in evidence that the institu-
ton did not admit children suffer-
ing in that way. OF course. the
little ones might contract the all
ments incidental to childhood, but
the possibility that they would COM
municate maladies to the children
of the fashionable neighbcrhood il
somewhat remote. The objectors
seem rather to have been ayerse to
the idea Of plebeian babies coming.

way, between the wind and their
nobility; and in this they are but
induIging in q prejudice against
children which of late shown itself
in many ways. The grievance OF
little Joe, the crossing sweeper in
"Bleak House. was that he had
always to be knowing on and
likewise nowadays there are such
restrictions upon children as to
lead to the suspicious thought of q
combined movement against their
existence. Probably if an institu-

had been proposed it would have

SINCE the Chicago convention
has met and adjourned, and the

President are before the people, the
long delayed nomination of Chief
Justice Fuller, will shortly be report

quite probable that the. Senate ju-
dietary committee at its next meet
ing will agree to make favorable
report to the Senate upon the NOM
ination of Chief Justice Fuller.
There was . meeting Of the commit
tee Yesterday, but, owing TO the
absence of aquorum, the case was
not formally considered. During
an informal talk that took place it
was generally admitted that there
was no foundation for the anony.
nous charges that were filed against
Judge Fuller, and Senator Edmunds
intimated quite plainly that he was
opposed to any further delay in re.
porting the case to the Senate. 1t
was also inferred from certain re-
marks made that he is convinced
that the committee should report
the nomination favorably. Senator
Eyarts is also expected to vote with
Chairman Edmunds in favor of
Judge Fuller.

 Union Has a Large Congregation and
 Breaches on Chrfst's Mission.
 Rev. John c. Collins Of English Hall preached his farewell sermon last night As this was to be his last day as pastor of the hall large congregation greeted him. He preached on 'sChrist's Mission" MT. Collins on assuming the pastorate just eleven years ago last night preached on the same subject.
 Last night he earnestly urged all to become Christians. He said that the world of today is better than it ever has been before and it would continue to grow better. He was sor- " to leave his old friends and if they wanted to repay him for the work that he had done for them they could do it by following Christ. During MT. Collins eleven years pastorate 1,5OO children have attended the Sunday school and between forty and fifty thousand dollars contributed for the maintenance of the mission.
 It has not yet been decided whether the Gospel Union and the city missions will be | united. Sunday meetings will be held at English hall anyway. Next Sunday com mittee will have charge of the meeting. After the after meeting all present express | ed their regret to lose the services of Mr. Col ! lins

BridgepOrt's Boom Brfdgeport's
 Fourth of July.

rOuEbn 0K Ju1vs
 Bridgeport is trying to work up Fourth of July celebration, and looks at it not in patriotic light, but as a money saving and money-making scheme. It will certainly bring money into the city and affords fine holiday for the population.
 A large number of representative business men gathered at the Board of Trade rooms in Bridgeport Friday evening in response to the call made by President D. M. Read for special meeting. The meeting was to discuss how to suitably boom Bridgeport by adver- tising, whether in circular or pamphlet form.
 Secretary R. B. Lacey read a little circular which was at present being iberally circu- lated by the New Haven Chamber of Com merce. It was voted that the president, sec- retary, treasurer and executive committee of the board should constitute committee to prepare pamphlet for general distribution.
 President Read knew of one New York con- cern which desired to obtain $100, ,000 worth of stock in Bridgeport and another concern ably of coming. MT. Henry Atwater had Jersey parties. One was a manufacturer of car trimmings and the other of hardware One of these had probably decided to come there. A furniture concern was looking at Hotchkiss factory. President Read had sev- sral cases on hand similar to those spoken of by MT. Atwater.

Money Appropriated to Put the old
 MiddletOwn Turnpike Road in Good
 Condition.
 The people of North Haven, Northford and Montowese are very much elated over the prospect of their having good road by which they can come to New Haven and save mile or so extra travelling. For years past the old Middletown turnpike road, which extends across the meadow~beyond Lewis bridge for three-quarters of a mile, has been in wretched condition At times it has been flooded with water and made impossible, un- til now but little semblance to 8 road re- mains.
 Several prominent North Haven and New
 Haven men after considering the matter wis., ited Town Agent Reynolds and others of the selectmen and urged upon them the necessity of the towns repairing this road. The result is that $6, 900 has been appropriated for that purpose. The road will be put in frst-class condition. It is 8 source of great satisfaction to the residents of the places named to think of the changes that are to be made in the condition of the road, it being their direct approach to this city. The improvement of the road is also approved by many New Ha- | ven people as means of beneftting the handsome section of the city and town lying | contiguous to the approach to Lewis bridge, | which has made very slow growth in compar- | ison with most portions of the city's suburbs
