this has been rejected as too expensive.

THE CAPTURE OF MISS STONE.

Miss Stone, of Boston, an Amerl-
can missionary in Turkey, was cap
tured the other day by brigands who
demand S125, 900 ransom. The
money has been raised by popular
subscription and she will probably be
released ere this reaches our readers.
There is also talk of the United States
demanding indemnity and apology
from Turkey and the punishment OF
the brigands, all Of which is proper.
But some people think Miss Stone
had no business in Turkey. Brother
De We're of the @Oberhn News talks
freely and says:
Women are always getting into
trouble one way or another. Miss
Stone of Boston got an idea into her
head that to save her own bae"a, that
she must immediate herself upon the
altar of religious popularity by be-
coming a missionary, instead OF stay
ing at home and helping her mother
wash the dishes. But no, she mast
go on a gallup around the world look
ing for the lost goats of Israes. She
found them Whydon't she stay and
lead them back to Abraham s
bosom?
Home would be the best place for
her now, as she is sufficiently adver-
tised for lecturing purposes. II it is
ABSOLUTELY necessary for us to send
any one there, let US send some OF
our long lean, thin haired, canting
hypocrites, who have not got capacity
enough to have any business OF their
own, but spend their time looking for
the mote in their neighbors eye.
If people run risks foolish, the Gov
eminent has no business of assuming
the responsibility. She'll be talking
about the good looking -brlgand when
she gets back home.
