CROWNED HEADS OF EUROPE.

Queen Christina, for the first time since
the death of her husband, has put I'm an
appearance at bull fight. and took the
boy King with her. 1t was on the occa-
sion OF their recent trip 10 Coruna,
during the course of their yachting trip
along the Atlantic coast OF Spain. The
queen attended one bull fight at Madrid
shortly after her arrival in Spain as
bride of the late King Alfonso. But she
was SO Mortified at the spectacle that,
in spite OF all the protests and entreaties
of her husband and her ministers, she
has never consented to attend one
since. At length. however. she seems
to have overcome her prejudice, or at
any rate to have come TO the conclusion
that II was wrong to permit her personal
prejudices against bull fighting to en-
danger the popularity and the prospects
OF her boy. the young king; for the
Spaniards are very sensitive about their
national sport. and regard any distaste
for IL as something akin to a national
affront.
Queen Victoria has very warm spot
in her heart for the negro race. There

NEW SMALL BANKS HELP HARVEST LOANS

The crop-moving season has begun. and
demands on tho New York banks for
funds have accordingly made their APP
pearance. The south is the section from
which the chief calls OF this kind proceed, !,
and nearly all OF the 100000 of currency
which was shipped this week from the
financial and commercial metropolis went
to that section. There Is a good deal OF
natural curiosity as TO whether the west

MISSIONARIES NOT TO BLAME.

We have received from Shanghai a
newspaper of that town, in which the
writer, speaking from "a purely CONNER
cial point of view" combats sensibiy
and very successfully the notion that the
Chinese hostility to foreigners Is due 10
the labors of Christian missionaries.
He makes the strong point that it Is
those missionaries, more particularly,
who exemplify in their lives the high
morality and the true dignity of Western
civilization. I'm the Treaty ports the
lives of "a certain minority among the
foreign residents ARE an outrage on
the best ideas of the natives and libel
on Western civilization" and they do
more TO prepare the way for corrupt OF
ficials, bent on stirring up the ignorant
people of China, than all the mistakes of
all the missionaries put together
Throughout the country, however. where
the foreigner il otherwise unknown, he

sonary who lives quietly "a moral life.
so lnat all his immediate neighbors on
close acquaintance acquire favorable
knowledge of an individual foreigner, and
from that particular knowledge argue fa-
vorabiy I'm general of the foreigners"
Unquestionabiy this is a deserved tri-
butte to the missionaries. IL is the mis-
sionary rather than the soldier or the
man of commerce who represents the
moral elevation of Western civilization
Where missionaries live in the inte-
rior, away from all foreign civilians or
officials there are no houses OF i'll fame
kept for. or by, foreigners. In such
places there are no lotteries licensed by
and supported by foreigners. There no
natives are cuffed and Kicked, for there
are no rowdy young foreign 'drunks' to
drag their nations character in the mire."
The vices OF our civilization go with
the trader rather than the missionary.
The evil reputation foreigners have in
Chinese eyes is not made by the mission
aries. but by 'the man or woman of for
