KING PREMPEH's VICTIMS.
Thousands of Human Beings Put to Death
to Amuse Ashantee's Deposed Ruler.

Thousands of Human Beings Put 10 Denth
to Amusc Ashantee's Deposed Ruler.
The Anglican Bishop OF Sierra Leone,
who accompanied the recent British Ash
nntee expedition as chaplain, Is now In
England, and has been making some in
terestipg statements regarding the doings
Of KIM Prempeh. At Coomassie he came
to a grove Of silk cotton trees. which were
the fetish Of that country, and among, the
trees he saw the remains of hundreds OF
people who had been executed to please tho
King and the people. He believed It would
be within the mark II he said he saw o
sands Of bodies lying there. Benin Is not
more than thirty miles from where steam
ers pass, and yet there this year they
cruciaed and matilated men, women and
| children. :,
The sacred burying place Of the Kings OF
Coomassie was the treasure house where
the gold dust vas preserved. The bisnop
says that every three months the King hau
to visit this burying place of his ancestors,
and twenty slaves were sacrificed. A
skewer was pushed through their cheeks
so as to hold their tongues down, lest they
should repeat the Kings oath and be set
free. Then, at q given signal from the
King, their heads were struck on from pc
hind and fell into a brass basin. TINS basin,
the Bishop says. Is now in London. King
prempeh. who was only twenty-four years
Of age, and revelIed in oil this blood spill
ing, Is, the Bishop says, now one OF MS
congregation in Sierra Leone, ana only
shortly before he left he taught him, at MS
W request, the Lords Prayer.
"This man I" says the Bishop, used as !
nightly amusement to send for q slave ant
have her killed before him. Then, Will
his many wives gathered around him ant
battered him by telling Of his greatness, u
warmed his feet In the victims blood"

should drink from two to four quarts OF

why Mike stopped prlnkinr.

Mike Bryan is now q highly respected aud
w~ell.to-do farmer in a Western community,
but he has not always been so highly re-
spected or so well-to-do. In times past
Mike, as he is Familiarity called, spent his
spare money in the saloons. The story OF
his reformation is given in the words Of an
old neighbor and friend.
Eyes, Mike drank q good deal In them
days, and treated more than he drank.
When old Judge Henry came back from the
legislator, we made up q purse and bought
him a handsome gold watch to show him
our 'preciation.
'That night, In the saloon, one Of the
boys said that Mike ought to have q new
gold watch, too; for II he hadn't goneto the
legislator he had raised the first sack Of

Cutting truth. by a buddhist missionary.

S hath W
II. Dharmapala. OF India, who represent
ed the Asiatic Buddhlsts In the Parliament
Of Religions held In Chicago in 1893, de-
liyered an address at Lake Hopatcong on
July 4 last, In which he spoke as follows:
A the messenger Of peace and good
will, and as the representative Of Aslatie
Buddhlsts to the Parliament OF Religions, l
have to announce that millions Of my peo-
pie are hurled down the precipitous abyss
OF premature death by the demon of alco-
holic drinks and narcotics, introduced by
the civilizing pioneers OF Christendom. .
An enlightened people would not tolerate
the sale or manufacture OF intoxicating
liquor; 1t would not allow foreign Govern
ments to send such products to our shores.
A revenue that is taken by selling alcoholic
poisons to ones people is IN unrighteous
and illegal revenue. A prolific cause of in
sanity and idiocy Is due to the dissolution
OF brain cells, brought on by intoxicating
alcoholic drinks. The modern experimental
psychologists have proved this. Stopdrink-
Ing liquor. Stop the manufacturing, and
let the Government show that 1t Is q right
eous Government by using every method
to prevent its expectation to other coup-
tries. Millions OF people are killed by
Eurspean liquor introduced to Asiatic
countries since the Introduction of so-called
Christian civilization. Why should we not
have q scientific religion based on universal
laws? Why should man kill his brother
man for the sake Of filthy lucre? Are
Christian ethics as enunciated by Jesus
Christ practical, or not2 II not, Christian
ity must not be preached to people either
here or in Asia. Is a life of self~-abnegation
and mercy possible2 A religion that can
not make man good is a dead religion.
"Christ's religion Is a living religion. I
believe firmly in the principles of Christ's
ethics, having lived up to them, and I have
come from Asia to join hands with the
good people Of America to work for the
amelioration of the people here and in Asia.
