What 1t Did Fer the Missionaries In

What 1t Did For the Missionaries Ir
Madagascar.
The Introduction Of Christianity int,
heather countries has been more nj
less closely connected vita trade and
the arts OF civilization. The govern
ment has often been keeny alive Il
the advantage of science. but hostile
20 religious teaching Such was the
case In Madagascar in the middle of
the last century, rs is told in the pages
OF Rev. w. Z. Cousins book. NADIA.
goscar OF Today"
Queen Ranavalona was beginning 10
feel uneasy about the growing influ-
ence OF foreign ideas ana wished to
get rid OF the missionaries. She sent
rome officers 10 carry her message.
The missionaries were gathered to-
gcther 10 meet the queens messengers
and We're told that they had been n
long time In the country and had
taught much. but that IL was now time
for them 10 think of returning TO their
native land.
The missionaries, alarmed at this
message, answered that they had only
begun 10 teach some of the elements
OF knowledge and that much remained
10 be impaired. They mentioned sun
dry branches OF education. among
which were the Greek and Hebrew
languages, which had already been
partially taught TO some.
The messengers returned TO the queen
and soon came back with this answer:
The queen does not care much for
Greek and Hebrew. Can You teach
something more useful? Can YOU. for
example, teach how to make soap?"
This was an awkward question to
address TO theologians, but after mo-
ment's pause Mr.. Grimths turned TO
Mr.. Cameron and asked him whether
he could answer il.
Give me 4 week." said Mr.. Cam
eron, and the week was given. At its
close the queens messengers again met
the missionaries, and Mr.. Cameron was
able 10 present to them n bar of toler-
ably good white soap made entirely
from materials found in the country.
This was an eminently satisfactory
answer, and the manufacture OF soap
was forthwith introduced ana is still
continued TO the preseSt day, although
no one would now venture TO call the
soap white"
As result Of making this bar of
soap the mission gained respite of
about five years, during which time
the queen still tolerated the presence
and teaching OF the missionaries for
the sake of the material advantages
derived from the work of the artisans,
and 1t was during these years that the
hrst churches We're formed and the
Christian religion began to take deep
root among the people

about politics. The Tribune speaks
by authority when il makes these
statements about Mr.. Conrad's at
titode toward a place on the nat
ional ticket.
Speaking for itself. il will say
it believes that the nomination Of
Montana man on the national
ticket would be pleasing to the
west. and highly appreciated by
the citizens of this state. and that
MIR. Conrad has strong claims on
the regard and gratitude of the
democrats of Montana. While MIR.
Conrad's life has been spent in
business affairs, and the laurels he
has gathered have been mainly in
the business world, yet for over
thirty years he has been loyal
democrat. During all that time
his purse has been generously open
for the legitimate needs of the par
u expenditures; his personal ef-
forts for the success OF ,hc party
ticket and party principles have
been constant and earnest; his
services Ca the state IN Sh4; iuw its
early territorial history in the in
tcreS's of Sll the pcnpi., alone en-
titles him to credit and gratitude
from the citizenship of this state.
\ noteworthy incident in the po-
itcal history Of Mr.. Conra3 ;, not
generally known. In the early
.d1A~ an effort WAS made Ia commit
the slate 10 large subsidy TO- a
railroad proposing To build into
Montana. A dill granting il sub
Sldy bonds To the amount nf n
million and half dollars. and
another bill eXempting its proper
ty from taxation for 81 years from
completion of the road. wit no
time fixed for such complexion.
were introduced with good pros

legislature. In those days oppo-
>ition To railroads on any terms
was far from being popular. and
the people were ready to grant any
demand To get railroad. Ii VA,
here that Mr. Conrad's fsr-sighted
business Judgment asserted itself
IN the interest OF the people. and
he led the fight against the grasp
ing railroad that sought to mort
gage the future of the young tor
rltoTy, making the motion that de-
teated measures. When it is con
sldered that the proposed subsidy
bonds with interest would now
amount TO about Sl2. OOO.OO and
that the exemption from taxation
Tor q years from completion
would have aggregated an even
vaster sum, and it can be seen
what his service to the state has
been worth.
In a word, if in the wisdom of
the delegates assembled ut Denver.
the vice presidential nomination is
to he bestowed upon a western man.
The Tribune hopes it may come to
this state, and no citizen in it better
deserves that honor from a party
standpoint, or from the standpoint
of public service, than Hon.

Everybody in Washington Worked
Up Over the Ball Game to be
Played.
The baseball game to be played
soon between two mines composed of
prominent colored men in official
and professional life, for the benefit
of the Colored Social Settlement,
has been the talk of the town the
past week. Everybody is talking
about it - men, women, and children
and the consensus of opinion is
that the fun this game will provoke
will more than offset the disappoint-
ment occasioned by Williams and
Walkers failure to show in Wash
ington this season. Already the drug
stores of Gray, Davis, Napier and
Cordoaza have ordeed big consign-
ment of liniment and bandages, in
anticipation of the demand for these
things after the game, and all the
masseurs in the city will be out in
force, ready to apply their art to the
stiff joints of old charley-horse play
ers of a by-gone age, like DR.. Gar
ner, DR.. Curtis, Calvin Chase, John

non ct al.
To see Chase winding up to send

Judge Terrell trying to render a le-
gal opinion on his muff of an easy
throw to first base, will provoke
roars of laughter. And to see Bob
Pelham trying to initiate Ty Cobb
at slugging Cat the ball)would amuse
even the inmates of ST. Elizabeth.
And to see Aditor Tyler trying to
hold one of GarryBooker's swift,wide
outcurves will be better than per-
Torrance of "Bandanaman." "
Everybody is cautioned to bring
their dinners, because there IS no
telling how long the game may last.
