SHOOTING OF MISSIONARIES
Does Not Stop the Work of the For
eign Mission Board.

Rev. A. NJ. Williams, pastor of Wesley
Monumental church, preached a timely
and interesting sermon yesterday morn
ing on "NIissions-the Massacre" His
subject was the recent massacre of mis-
sionaries in China and the discussion as
to the value of mission work, and whether
the good accomplished is commensurate
with the loss of life resulting from the
general foreign missionary work.
The speaker took his text from Romans
fourteenth chapter, first verse.
He spoke of the recent attack made
upon the missions at Kucheng, China, and
the loss of life there, and alluded to the
natural feeling that had sprung up in
reference to foreign mission work Es-
pecially has it been discussed by those
who object on general principles to for
eign missions For himself the preacher
declared, this opposition did not make one
iota of difference. This opposition rather
seemed a part of Gods work and only
made the final results more sure Those
who opposed this mission work he could
place under two general heads: those who
had not the full love of God in their
hearts nor any wish to extend his king
dom, and those Christians who have eX-
amined into the matter only specifically

"A man may be learned in astronomy;
he may be well up in the sciences; he may
be a good editor an able banker or finan-
cier; or he may be a strong literary per-
son; yet if he has not taken time to
fully investigate this one particular point
foreign missions and the work, he is not
capable of judging" said the minister
He then alluded to the prosecutions en-
dured by Gods ministers ia the past;
how they suffered all kinds Of discom-
forts and even torture and DEATH bus
the result was for the benefit OF Gods
kingdom in the end.

HAUNTED BY BICYCLES.
A Queer Character the Police Look
After Now and Then.

n
After Now and Then.
The police run across some queer char
acters now and then, and these charae-
ters oftener take a fancy to the police
headquarters than otherwise Chief Nc
Dermott assumes a sort of fatherly air
to the mentally weak who occasionally
land in the police barracks. and who are
yet not of sufficiently unsound mind TO
be classed as insane
About the queerest character whom the
chief has recently taken under his wing.
so to speak is a negro who is haunted
by bicycles. No further evidence of the
ENGRAVING of the bicycle upon civilization
is needed than the fact that it has arisen
to the mysterious dignity of haunt
Morning News reporter was seated
on the back porch of the police barracks
the other night. when a middle aged ne
gro man walked up the steps and stood
there in silence as If waiting to be spoken
to.
"All right, old man, go on down below
said the chief kindly.
The man did not go, however, and pres
emily he was seen to make two or three
convulsive grabs in the air above his
head.
Hello, got 'em again?" remarked the
chief
"Dey's after me, boss" said the negro
in a frightened manner.
what are they, old man." inquired the
chief.
Bicycles he replied.
ooh, well, they'll go away directly .
said the chief
The fellow stood around for some time.
and finally went down to the sleeping
quarters in the station house the "bicy-
cles" having presumably departed from
him.
He goes on that way all the time"
said the chief. He turned up here about
a month ago, and has been here off and
on since. He is a good, steady worker,
and as we needed a hand we let him stay
here. Every now and then during the
day he will drop whatever he has in his
hands and make a grab in the air. He
says that men on bicycles are after him.
That's all we can get out of him. He
won't even say what his name is and so
we call him Bicycle"
Another character who has taken quite
a fancy to the police barracks is George
What the rest of his name is nobody
knows, but George is sufncient. He has
the weary, vacant look of a man who has
been defeated in the battle of life, and
most people would class him as a tramp.
He is willing to work, however, and
charges nothing for his services and so
he is allowed to remain. George sur
prised Chief McDermott by coming into
the office the other night and announcing
that he intended taking his departure.
why, George. what's the matter?" said
the chief. Don't we treat your right?'
Il am q big Indian chief exclaimed
George tragically" and 1 must 40 back
10 my people l have been a warrior all
my life and l must go back to light
"All right, George" said the chief.
when you get tired lighting come back
and see US"
Georges search for Indians dld not ex-
tend any further than Yamacraw, where
he may have been attracted by the spir-
us OF the braves who We're friends Of
Oglethorpe. but according 20 the report Of
the policeman who sent him in. the spir-
its which George encountered in Aama-
craw were Of another character though
equally dangerous.

HER FIRST "TRIP IN THE AIR.
Another Young woman Goes Up in
balloon.

A very successful balloon ascension was
made at Thunderbolt yesterday after
noon by Miss Mamie Davis, who as
cended to a hight of several hundred
feet. from which she dropped with a
parachute. The breeze was not sufficient
to interfere, and the descent was a very
pretty one. The ascension and the drop
were seen from Wilmington Island and
other surrounding points. The fact that
il was Miss Davis first venture as an
aeronaut added interest to the attempt
Her success will doubtless lead her to re-
peat the performance. A large crowd
viewed the ascent from Tivol park.
