SteyenSOn'S Grave.

Admirers of Stevenson will be glad
to have the assurance that his grave in
Samoa will be tenderly respected under
the German flag. Count Won Bulow,
on being informed that there was some
fear in Britain that political enmity
might threaten the sanctity of Steven
sons resting place, expressed himself
as follows: There is no spot in Sa-
moa which will be more treasured by
Germany than the grave of her (Mrs.
Stevenson's) noble and distinguished
husband. He was at times stern
critic. but we always honored him; and
we feel no shame to-day in admitting
that much that he wrote and said may
have been well deserved. The grave
on Vaea shall ever be honored as would
be the resting place of one of Ger

SDpcimens of Madri.

The chronological museum at Berlin
has Just secured one Of the best, if not
the best, of the few specimens Of
Maori carving now left in New Zea-
land. Some exceedingly old carvings
were collected by Mr.. c. Z. Nelson of
Whakarewarewa, and months were
spent in putting them together and in
supplying the necessary additional
carvings to make complete Maori
house as known in the cannibal days
of the aboriginals of this colony. When
the work was completed it was thought
the government might be induced to
become the purchaser so as TO keep
such rare sample of what is now al
most a lost art in the colony. but an
offer of SIS 900 from the German insti-
tuition above mentioned was sufficient
to induce the owner to sell out, and
this rare structure. known among the
Maories as "Rauru,' Will soon be
shipped to Berlin.

THE PASTOR QUIT.
fexas Minister Saw Bull Fight and
Was Forced Out.


The Rev. W. Pope PIedger, pastor
OF the Methodist Episcopal church at
Beaumont, Texas, has resigned his
charge because of a storm of hostile
criticism which was brought about by
a recent act of his. Last spring, it is
said, there was a cheap excursion to
Monterey, Mexico, and the minister
and two deacons of his church took
advantage of the low rates. The an
nual bull fights were taking place at
the time. These exhibitions were given
on Sunday and were attended by the
preacher, the deacons and many Of the
eXcursionists.
When the party returned to Beau
mont storm of hostile criticism was
directed against Mr.. Pledger. He de-
clared he attended the fights to
broaden his fund of knowledge. and
not for the love of brutal sport. But
many members of his parish demanded
that he acknowledge his error and re-
pentance publicly, which he refused to
do. In his sermon of resignation last
Sunday he said:
There is a bold disposition on the
part of many ministers to dictate to
their fiocks what they shall eat, drink
and wear. They would narrow the life
down to reading the Bible and going
to preaching and Sunday school.
1t is this class of ministers that
have produced a narrow-minded and
hide bound church. If they had it in
their power, they would not allow the
Lord TO save anybody except in con-
fOrmity with their notion of how such
thing ought to be done.
These are the people who have
criticised me for going into saloons
and trying to win men for Christ.
They think a minister should carry
great amount Of dignity, wear a
clerical coat, a collar buttoned behind,
a vest that buttons somewhere in the
regions out of sight whether on the
side or at the back, and that he should
have a certain manner and wear a
certain expression Of the facial of
which should go to say, I am the par
ish minister Such a minister may
serve the purpose of society functions.
but when it comes to reaching men and
leading souls to Christ. he is a dismal
failure. | would rather be a first-class
mule than be that kind of a preach
