REV. PETER c. SCOTT. has Just set out
from Philadelphia for the region of the
Sudan. the most dangerous mission field
in the world.
The party is under tho leadership OF
the Rev. Peter Cameron Scott, an en-
thusiastic and determined young clergy
man. He has spent seven Of the 80 years
of his lifo in Africa, two years Of that
time in the interior Of the dark CONT

It is The purpose Of Mr.. Scott and his
associates to land at Mombasa, on the
eastern cos,st Of Africa, and proceed ut

station will be established From this
point the missionaries will work north

Of disease, the savage natives and the

Lille band Of Christian teachers carry

altar Of their devotion seems more than

Died In y Strange Land.
Had Mrs. William Waldorf Astor
lived and died in New York. her nat
ural and proper home. her death would
have been rockoned little short Of gen.
eral calamity.
As her husband saw fit to expatriate
himself and cultivate an indifference.
if not positive hostility. to everything
American, except the hugo income he
derives from his native soil. Mrs. As
tors death will cause a slight sensation
in England and faraway feeling of re-

Mamie Paul was scarcely fitted to be
the wife Of the cold. proud, sensitive
man who was head Of the greatest fam.
lily and fortune in American.
She was an extremely simple and un-
affected girl. who cared as little q pos
sible for pomp and ceremony and still
less for gewgaws and jewels.
She would have made an admirable
wife for n business man OF moderate
means and would have adorned u COT
tage with moro grace and interest than

splendors of CHveden.
She was forced by her husband into .
foolish quarrel with the other branch Of
tho Astor family. and after that was just
as willing to live abroad as among her
own kinsfolk.
Her married life could not have been
a disappointment, though. for she had
four charming children and was most
loving and devoted mother.
Cut of in the flower Of her youth and
beauty and dying in a strange land, her
short career may serve as lesson ON the
mutability OF fate to those young wo-
men who cried their eyes ont with envy
and disappointment when her engage
ment to Willie Aston was announced.
The Aston family certainly deserves
all tho commiseration it should receive,
for it has been getting some pretty hard
