Mrs Henry P. Massey, Of Smyrna, died

year. Her case Is remarkable from the fact
that more than year ago she fell down q
flight of stairs and broke one Of the bones Of
the spinal column at tho base Of the neck
After receiving her injuries, DR.. Dwight, .
local physician, was called, and, being uncer-
tain as to his diagnosis, called Dr.. Morton, q
prominent Philadelphia surgeon, IN consulta-
ton. After careful examtnstton of tho
patient the physicians ccncurred in the opin-
ion that the woman's neck had been broken
by the fall, and the fact that she had sur
vived the Immediate effects Of the shock was
surprise to both physicians
Mrs. Massey was completely paralyzed and
absolutely helpless, and never recovered the
use of her muscles She, however, ate with
considerable relish and maintained her usual
state Of health and flesh, and wasconscious
of everything transpirin2 about her. Being
confined to her bed or invalid chair for more
than year brought complication OF organic
troubles, from which she died Tho frac-

directly was the cause Of no annoyance. She
had suffered conclusion Of the spine, however,
and she was rendered helpless. The case il
considered one of the most singular on record.

The Black Bishop of the Niger.

The Right Rev. Samuel Adjai Crowther,
DID,, missionary bishop of the Niger terri
tory, is now staying at the church missionary
house in Salisbury square, Fleet street. He
has come over to England from Africa upon
a special mission, namely, to raise funds for
the building Of a new church on the Niger.
The bishop, who is a venerable looking old
gentleman, now in his eighty-first year, very
quiet in manner, and with all the impressive
actions which belong to the negro raca has
had q life full Of adventure, which has been
almost entirely devoted to the propagation
of the Christian religion among his fellow
natives. While yet child he was kidnapped
from his tribe-the Yorubas-and sold at
Lagos in 1922. He was, however rescued by
British ship, taken to Sierra Leone, and ed
ucated there by the Church Missionary soci-
ETY.. He was baptized in 1925, was afterward
employed as teacher, and in 1S43, having
been ordained he was sent to his own coun-
try, Yoruba, to assist in the conversion of bis
people.
In 1857 he was appointed leader Of the New
Niger mission, and on st. Peters day, 1864,
he was consecrated at Canterbury cathedral
the first bishop of the Niger. Since that
date his whole time has been devoted to the
conversion of the heathen in those two re-
gions.
The other day representative Of The Pail
Mall Gazette had the good fortune to have a
few minutes chat with the aged bishop.
''You want me to tell you something Of my
work In Africa!" said he, speaking with .
sort of lisp and an accent somewhat remind
ing one of the soft sound of the RS, ms and
