Are Missions Worth While ?

All this trouble in China has naturally
called forth a spirited discussion concern
ing the value OF missions in China. Sever
al secular writers who have visited China,
and gained some knowledge of affairs in
that part of the world, notably Mr.. Hen
ry Norman and Mr.. Arnold White, have
declared that the missions are not worth
the cost and trouble they are making. 1t
IS declared that the missionaries, without
proper authorization, go into portions OF
China where their presence ca ses friction,
and that it is unreasonable to expect the
British and other European governments
and the government OF the United States
to intervene,-at the possible risk of war,
and in any case with no little expense OF
naval eXpeditiOnS,-in order to force China
to allow missionaries to reside far inland
from the treaty ports. Moreover, these
critics affirm that most of the missionaries
in China are persons i'll qualified for their
work, and that the actual results of the
missions are most insignificant On the
other hand, the Hon. John w. Foster, who
has lately returned from the Orient, and
who, as our readers will remember was
employed by China as the special counsel
in the negotiations of the peace treaty with
Japan, has within the last month made
ser of very important addresses in hearty
COMMUNICATION of the value of missionary
work not only in China, but also in Japan
and India Mr. Foster addressed the EpiS-
copa Convention at Minneapolis, made
similar speech before the American Board
for Foreign Missions (CongregationaD
which has been holding its annual session
in Brooklyn, and has borne the same teSti-
mony in other influential utterances deliv
cred before various religious bodies in
different parts of the country. Mr.. Foster
reminds us that we must not be surprised
at a considerable degree of domestic unrest
in China after the shock of the great for
eign war. especially III view of the dis
charge from active service of great bodies
of soldiers who have become scattered
through several provinces. He predicts
that general quiet and order will soon be
restored in China, and that thenceforth the
missionaries will have much easier access
than ever before to the people everywhere.
In his opinion it would be a great loss and
misfortune to give up the beginnings that
have been made, and he eXhortS the mis-
Sionary bodies to lose none of their faith
in the possibility of benefiting Oriental
peoples through presentation of the va lie
and significance of the religion of Christ.
Our correspondent whose account of the
Episcopal Convention appears elsewhere,
emphasizes the great enthusiasm that the
cause of missions aroused in the Mlnneap-
oils meeting. In like manner, the COngre-
gationaliSts in their recent trlennlal coun-
ell at Syracuse and in the meeting OF the
American Board, showed no abatement OF
zeal, but on the contrary are evidently
more determined than ever to sustain and
develope their work.-F'rOml "Tbe Prog

New York Fashion Letter.

The utility of the tailor made gown for
every day wear has established IL as part
Of every well dressed woman's outfit. The
full skirt is plain and the jacket is usually
made with short ripple back and strapped
seams. These skirts are not interlined, but
are finished with narrow still racing
around the bottom A II varieties of fancy
silk waists are again the rage, but the Il eW
velvet blouseS are the most popular OF all
and velvet for the entire gown is much In
vogue. 1t is not always silk velvet; but
velveteen in stripes, plaids and figures are
variOusly employed. The newest outside
garments are very much trimmed, some
times entirely with braiding or passemen-
terIe and often with fur, principally Sable
and Persian fur trimmings. Inc old lash
ion of using jet embroidery velvet IS one
of the most popular fancleS OF the winter:
A trimming of velvet is a necessary part or
every out door as well as indoor garment,

tends to tighten charmingly dark cloth

is very gorgeous. The richest brocades

newest capeS have high inside collars faced
with real antique lace. There are gorgeous

Eaole and Turkey.

Great cannon hoarsely falling

With morsels prayer intentioned

Wild Bills Skill With the Pistol.

On the west side of Market Square in
Kansas City stands three-story front OF
b lildings, known locally as Battle Row,
from the pugnacious bent of the inhabl-
tants. These lapse into brawls and
chance medley encounters with an ease
which should alarm. Up under the cor
nice of one of the buildings is an Odd Eel
lows sign, Il. D. D. F." If ones eyes are
sharp, the white paint interior of the
first o will show a huddle of gray, weather
hued spots very well in the center of the
letter. They are the handiwOrk of that
long-haired gentleman of the border, Wild
Bill.
1t was back In the middle seventies when
Wild Bill, "by request" and merely to
show his witch-like skill with those weap-
ons, stood across the street, fully one
hundred feet away, and with torfy-tve
caliber Colts pistol in each hand, pat al
the twelve bullets into the center OF TINS
80" He fired the pistols simultaneously,
and the twelve shots made only SIX reports;
The town was smaller at that time, and
in the interest of science didn't mind a
little racket now and then. So Wild
Bills exhibition of crack shooting excited
nothing but compliment Indeed, Speers,
chief of police then, as well as now, was
one of the most interested lockers on, and
emphatically Endorsed the exhibition as
one of the most skilful tricks with pistols
it had ever been his luck to see.
