HUMANITY DEMANDS IT.
MISSIONARY SECRETARIES SAY RANSOM
MUST RE PAID AND PLANS MADE
AFTERWARD

'AH logical arguments back down under pres
ent existing circumstances, and, whether 1t be
a good or bad precedent, humanity dictates
that we raise the money for Miss Stones re-
lease
The Rev. DR.. c. c. Creegan, secretary of the
American Board of Foreign Missions. said this
yesterday concerning the $4,000 demanded by
Bulgarian brigands for the ransom of Miss Ellen
NJ Stone, the missionary whom they hold
prisoner.
When the proposition first made to
that the money be raised he continued, I'VE
all shook our heads and said it was out of the
question The very fact that paid the sum
demanded might jeopardize the lives and liberty
of our other missionaries But when we con-
sidered how much would give individually
If our daughters prisoners of the
brigands said: First the ransom Other
plans to follow AS body, do not think
the payment of the ransom TO be wise; but we
are forced to pay ii to save precious human
life l believe the government of this country
has a plan that will probably cause the return
of the money its donors, but am not IN the
secret and cannot say what the plan is
DR.. Creegan has raised nearly S14.0oo for the
ransom fund and says there is much besides
that has been sent to Boston by telegraph and
mail OF this sum- he says, ex-Mayor Hewitt
handed to him S1O0 saying: If it was
daughter of mine would not think twice about
the precedent set by paying the ransom

tary of the Presbyterian Board OF Foreign mis-
sions. that some plan could be made 10 eaten

10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBINE.i
Boston. Oct. I.-Kidder. Peabody 6 CO, the
firm that is acting as agent in the movement
TO ransom Miss Stone, who is in the hands Of
Turkish brigands report that they received up
TO the hour of closing tonight about $4,000
from all sources. OF this amount $4,000 is in
cash and the remainder In pledges. This S3I,oD
has been sent by cable To the American Min
lister at Constantinoplc. with the request that
he negotiate with the bandits for stay of their
threat until the residue of the Sl1oHD can be
raised and forwarded. Dr. Judson Smith, secre-
tary of the American Board. says ne is certain
that the monetary demand Of Miss stones cap
tors can be me; If they win only grant little
more time.
The general feeling Of New England seems TO
be that the prisoner must be ransomed, al
though there is now aud then voice raised
against any yielding to the ultimatum Of the
kidnappers.
Church contributions We're notably numerous
among those received during the day. evidently
In response 10 the American Boards appeal OF
Sunday. To the board itself some churches sent
contributions. The four principal Congregation
al churches i'm Brooklyn sent $500 each; then
there We're responses TO the boards kilograms
from Colorado. Connecticut. Vermont. Buffalo
and number of other places outside the State.
The board is not collecting any money itself,
so it promptly turned these contributions over

OPERA IN ENGLISH.

ESSAYS in She direction of Wagnerian opera are
a wofu alteration on the part Of the Castle Square
Company. but the modern realism Of tho Italian
school ought 10 fall comfortably and effectively
within lines The subjects and the treatment
from both a literary and a musical point of view
are so brutal that refinement is not demanded--at
least. not by the amiaby complacent people who
insist on liking everything that the company does

CHANCE TO SAVE MISS STONES LIFE.

the kidnappers of Miss Stone will enforce their
utimatum tomorrow. although that was the
date named as the last day of grace in her case.
The danger is by means averted. however.
and the most that can be said now is that there
is likelihood of securing short extension by

from their manner that they are feeling more
hopeful than they were of the successful out
