A Missionary Hanged by His Hair.

"While travelling from village to vii.
lage in the Shantung district" said the
Rev. John Amer, missionary bishop in
northern China, in an interview with q
reporter of the San Francisco Chronicle,
"I preached one afternoon in place of
fully 1000 people. While conducting
the services I was roughly seized by four
big Chinese and borne to place outside
the gates of the town. A large crowd
followed the captors. When spot was
reached that suited them, they put me
down. The leader of the party informed
me that the people in his town wanted
me to promise that would 60 away and
preach no more. The man said that
Ehantung was the birthplace of Confuci-
us, and vas the holy land Of China, and
that no missionaries were allowed there.
I refused to go away, so they hung me up
to the limb of tree by my queue-in

For q ThIrdiParty.

ATLANTA, Ga. July 15.-Atlanta
was the central point of q great alliance
rally to-day, thousands Of people being
present at the Piedmont exhibition
grounds. The alliance was noticeable an
agricultural one, hundreds of farmers
coming many miles, and thousands from
this and surrounding counties to hear
the distinguished speakers. Mayor
Hemphill welcomed the visitors to At.
lanta in an address and introduced Colo
mel Livingston, president Of the Georgia
alliance and Congressman from this dis.
trict, who was received with enthusiastic
cheers, and who In turn introduced Gen.
eral Weaver, of Iowa.
Weaver declared in the beginning that
the alliance movement was greater than
the Republican party, Democratic party
or peoples party because it vas the
people. He asserted that the pools and
trusts of America we're skinniug Repub-
cans and Democrats alike. There vas no
politics in trusts. It was with them as
with the Dutchman. He was asked
what his politics were, aud his reply vas
"ffty cents bushel for corn and five
cents a glass for lager beer. MY poll
tics is business" He said it Was high
time for farmers to make their politics

politics of Jefferson" continued the
speaker. IT worship at his shrine polit.
ically. When he said eternal vigilance
was the price Of liberty, he did not mean
the vigilance of politicians, but the vigi'
lance Of the people. Weaver brought
forth the widest applause from his hear
ers by declaring that there are now
9S,O0O,O00 more people here than there
were twenty-five years ago, but strange
to say there is $500, 100000 less of money.
he laughed at farmers for saying times
we're dull, and asked what made them
dull. he told them to feel in their
pockets and they could answer that
question for themselves. II feel" said
the general, "that the time has come
when ne don't care q baubee or figs

"We know what we want and we are
going to have it. If the old parties get

There won't be as much left of them as
there was of the Republican party in
Kansas last Fall"
Continuing Weaver exclaimed, II tell

of this country in open field and We must
conquer them. If we are kept another

free coinage of silver and concluded With
a paternal message from Northern alli-
ancemen to Southern brethren.
Weaver was followed by General Polk,
President of the alliance, in lengthy
speech which was heartily cheered

Final Resting Place Of Ex-Presldent
Davis.

New YORK, July 1.-THE World will
publish tomorrow letter from Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, in which she selects
Richmond, Va, as the final resting place
of the remains of her husbands body.
Mrs. Davis's letter is as follows:
To the Veterans and People Of the
Southern States: After much anxious
thought, I have finally decided to give to
Virginia the care of my husbands. NOR
tai body, and feel that my reasons should
be made public, as be was in many
senses the property of the whole coun-
try.
Immediately after the death Of Ex-
President Jefferson Davis Louisiana
PRESSED her desire to keep his hallowed
remains for all time, but she claimed only
the right to guard him until some perma.
nent place could be selected for his final
rest.
Georgia claimed him, and has conse-
quently renewed the request, because bis
father had long been a citizen of the
State. There the e1-president had re-
ceived the same royal welcome which
Alabama had extended, and lastly she
pleaded her great love for him as rea-
son for granting the reouest.
Kentucky expressed her pride in being
the State of his birth, and urged her
claims.
Virginia asked for his honored re-
mains, because the most strenuos efforts
of his life had been made upon her soil,
and in defense of Richmond as the capi-
tai of the Confederate States. at short
intervals during the last eighteen months
she has renewed her tender insistance
that he should rest among the heroic dead
of all the States who fell in defense of
the Confederacy. She urged the fact that
he did not, in the fullness of his fame,
belong exclusively to any part of the
country.
Every hillside about Richmond would
tell of the valarous resistance which he
initiated, and desired with tirelesa vigi-
lance as chief magistrate; that there he
received generous and unwavering sup
port in the darkest hour of our unfortu.
nate couutry's defeat.
All these claims have touched my
heart, and contended together for the
mastery. It has been hard to give up the
hope of dwelling near my husbands
resting place in Mississippi, where my
home and interests are, but unfortunate
ly Beauvoir is on the coast of the Mexi-
can gulf, and peninsula very little over
a,mile wide, and the half mile of shallow
water in front covered with submerged
stumys of large trees, shows that the sea
has been steadily encroaching on the
shore for many years. I feel therefore,
that as the monument is for all time, it
would not be wise to place it there, and I
submit to the personal sacrifice with the
hope that the States of the Confederacy
will also relinquish their cherished plans
for the sake of gratifying the majority OF
the veterans, who have written countless
letters to me from each of the before
mentioned States, to urge Richmond as
the proper place for the grave of him who
loved them all, aud labored for their
glory with all his might during the heat
and burthen of the days granted to him
here. Your country woman,
VARINA JEFFERSON DAVIS.
