FAMOIS BISHOP TAYLOR GIVES Vl’
FIGHTING AT 77.
His hast African Trip—Han Convert
ed 100,000 Heathen and AVnn the
Moat Successful Missionary of
Modern Time*—t Personal Inter
view With Him.
New York, Jan. 21.—Quietly and unosten
tatiously an old warrior, who has fought
in battles In all parts of the world, has
returned to the East to spend his declin
ing years in dreams of the past. He has
neither sjvord nor musket. He la as un
familiar with a six-shooter as a Sioux* In
dian with the outfitting of an electric
plant.
All his life he has been fighting against
the devil, and while he admits with a
twinkle in his fine old eye that the devil
is still pretty robust, there are one or two
scars on his horny surface given him by-
Bishop Taylor of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Without question, the bishop is
the most successful missionary of modern
times. He is now 77 years of age, and was
retired by the last General Conference of
the church from his position as bishop of
Africa.
Before quitting work for good he was
determined to make a final visit to the
missionary stations in the vast extent of
territory which was his precinct. In 1593,
when he was 73 years of age, he traveled
1,500 miles inland Into a part of Africa
which twenty years ago had not been
mapped, walking through tropical thickets
along a path wide enough to admit of only
single file, riding astride of oxen and of
donkeys and being borne in litters, in an
unhealthy country and in an unhealthy
season of the year.
Even young men often break down on
such a journey. The bishop says that he
has been hardened. He has been in all
climates and exposed himself to all of the
diseases that man is heir to in different
parts of the earth.
“I began life preaching in Virginia, and
I was educated at Brush College, sir,” he
says, with twinkling eyes. “You know
Brush College? What! You do not, sir?
Ah, you young men haven't the advantages
of your forefathers. Well, you don’t get
much mathematics or much Latin at
Brush College, but you grow up straight
like a young sapling.
"You are hardy and strong, and you
learn a good deal about simple human na
ture. I was a circuit preacher in my
younger days. When I had completed my
circuit I had been away so long that my
own children didn't know me. Speaking
to the backwoodsmen made my lungs
strong, and tramping over rough roads
made my legs strong, and there is a good
deal of life In me yet, sir—a good deal of
life.”
The bishop’s last trip to Africa extended
over fifteen months. He did not go into the
far interior or expose himself to the bad
climate, as he did on his '93 trip. He went
to say good-by to his converts and his mis
sionaries, and most of his traveling was
done in Pondoland, the Transvaal and
Natal.
In order fully to appreciate the bishop's
work in Africa his method must be ex
plained. He believes that missions should
be self-supporting. In a measure he has
acted independently of the church, and
with such success as to arouse considerable
Jealousy among certain other missionary
leaders. Since he was made bishop of Af
rica he has established thirty stations, and
the funds which he has expended have
been obtained entirely through his per
sonal solicitation.
These stations he has now turned over
to the church, which will conduct them
upon his lines. The old gentleman will not
say that he is satisfied to give up the work.
He will only say that he has passed the
age limit, then change the subject of con
versation. Preferably, his friends say, he
would have died in harness.
The converts at each station are asked to
pay small sums in support of their church.
If they are handled diplomatically they
will do this with pride. The result Is that
they do not consider the Christian church
merely as a charity institution, but some
thing in which they have a personal inter
est.
Unlike the converts which many mis
sion stations have made by dealing out
rations of soup, these do not backslide. The
black children of from 3 to 5 years of age
are brought to the station and trained in
Christian manners as far as possible.
The biggest event that can take place in
one of these* mission stations is the com
ing of the white-bearded bishop, who looks
like a sage and a prophet. This year he
went to them for th© last time. As usual
the converts came running for miles to
meet him with broad grins on their faces
and showing their rims of ivory teeth. A
woolly head which received a pat from
the bishop was considered as good as
sanctified.
Parts of the journey were made in the
South African version of a Al r estern
prairie schooner drawn by four pairs of
oxen. AA’hen this arrived at a station, or
a sub-station, or at a village in the wilder
ness, a platform was arranged in the rear
from which the blghop spoke through a
black interpreter, who grinned with pride
and self-contentment.
After the meeting was over the populace
followed the wagon for miles. Often when
the black people, who remembered the
bishop from former visits, were told that
he would never come again, they wept and
wrung their hands as if they had lost a
near and dear relative.
Bueh of the bishop's African work has
been in British territory.
"AA'hich treats the black man the bet
ter, the Transvaal burgher or the English
man?” he was asked.
"Oh, the Englishman, by all means.”
“Do you think that Cecil Rhodes is as
black as he is painted by his enemies in
London?"
“No. It is true that he is a politician,
but he has been greatly maligned. He has
done a great deal for civilization; he is
public-spirited, and he does everything he
can to help the missionaries. English law
is the most Just, the most liberal and the
best to work under. It is well that they
should rule Africa.”
"Do you think that the English ought to
have the Transvaal?”
"No, I would not say that. The Burgh
ers have the right of pre-emption. Con
sidering that the burgher has had no op
portunities of connection with outside civ
ilization, that he has lived an isolated life
on uncultivated land among wild beasts,
he has done very well.”
"Do yob think that eventually the black
race will die out in Africa, as the Austra
lian and the American aborigines have?”
"No. I think the black race has too
much vitality. There will be black men
as long as there is an Africa. The breath
of civilization is death to the Indian, but
not to the black man."
The bishop's first missionary work was
done in California. Ho understood the
manners and the nature of rough men. As
■■v miner he once converted expressed It:
‘‘Dc-mlnie Taylor makes you get religion
without offending you in the least.” After
his Californa experience the bishop
worked in Australia, New Zealand, the
South Sea Islands, India, South America
and Africa.
In India in particular he did a great
work. There he was the first to establish
the mission to the Eurasians. The Eura
sians are half-caste, with white fathers
and native mothers. The Indiana will not
receive (hem in their castes and the white
people will not associate with them.
Consequently they fall between two stools.
They are self-supporting.
The bishop saw the advantage of using
them in mission work, be ause they could
speak both Engilsh and Hindoo. He found
them to be easily converted, and estab
lished many Euras.an self-supporting
churches. The Eurasians, in turn, have
been able to convert many natives. The
missionary societies o$ the Protestant
churches find their paths thorniest when
endeavoring to convert South American
Catholics. The most successful missions of
ail the churches were those which the
bishop established in Chill, where there are
now seven self-supporting churches.
“What race have youn found in your
travels to be most easily converted to the
Christian religion?"
“I think there is little difference. Human
nature is the same the world over. I have
had little trouble in converting any unciv
ilized or semi-civilized person whom I
could meet and ta k with freely. T.ie great
difficulty is access. You must first get
your horse to the water before you can
make him drink. It Is very difficult to get
Mahometans or a certain class of Hindoos
to listen to you at all. Moreover, their ears
are filled with lies by the local religious
organizations which sometimes we cannot
get a chance to controvert.
“Lack of adaptability is the greatest
weakness of most missionaries. You must
understand the manners of the people with
whom you have to dea!.“
In all parts of the world are aboriginles
who have been named after the bishop,
some of them middle-aged men and women
now. Africa has several hundred black
Williams, who will rem< mber the broad
shouldered, white-bearded giant who con
verted them or their parents. It has been
estimated that the bishop has been the
agent of bringing the souls of 100,000 heath
ens to grace.
The grand old man will spend his de
clining days in the house of his son. Rev,
Ross Taylor, of New York. He will not be
idle, for his correspondence is large and
his advice is always in deman 1.

TALI, TBXAN INNOCENCE.
Passenger Agent Wagner's New Sta
tistics of New York Honesty.
From the Dallas News.
Alfred S. Wagner, general traveling pas
senger agent of the Texas and Pacific, has
returned from a visit to St. Louis, Chi
cago and New York. It was his first trip
out of Texas. He went away with a look
of childish Innocence and guilelessness in
his eye and came back with the sordid,
glassy stare of a bunco steerer of the cal
culating glance of a burglar. He is old
and sad and tired. He says he lived ten
years in three weeks, and when he left
he was going at the rate of a year a
second. If he had stayed another half
day he would have been 2,000 years old,
as they count life in Texas.
His experiences began in St. Louis. He
was standing on the corner of Fourth and
Olive, looking around at the big buildings,
when a nicely dressed fellow slapped him
on the back and said:
Hello, Johnnie! How are all the boys In
Fort Worth?”
That was what Wagner had been look
ing for.
“Go on off, now. I am from Texas, but
my *name is not Johnnie, and I am not
from Fort Worth.”
“Where are you from—Dallas?”
"That’s right.”
“Well, how are Cooper Nott and Barney
Fegan and Billie Crush and Ed Bixby
getting on?”
Wagner loosened up a little, and re
ported on the condition of the celebrities
named.
“And my old friend, Tom Kingsley, is he
still therte?”
“You bet.”
“I think you said your name was
Wright?”
"No, sir; my name is A. S. Wagner of
the Texas and Pacific, the old reliable.”
"Yes, that# right. Wagner, let’s go
and have something.” And they did.
After talking awhile Wagner’s new
found acquaintance had to meet an err
gagement, and Alf : strolled into the Plan,
ters’ to see what was going on. At the
door he met a youngster who looked at
him a second and then walked up and
grasped his hand.
“Hello, Wagner! When did you leave
Dallas?”
“Yesterday morning.”
"How can Hurry Hatch and Jim Boyle
and old tnan Starr Jones get on without
you?”
W hat boots it to tell the conversation
that cost Wagner $10? It ought to be
enough to know that It did cost him a bill.
A owing never to be worked again Alfred
went on to New York. He had letters of
introduction to some people, but was
afraid to present them, less they might
turn out to be the wrong people. Besides,
his St. Louis experience made him a little
shy of Cooper Nott’s friends. On the sec
ond day of his stay in the great metropo
lis he was down in City Hall Park.
“Look at that man on the spire of the
Tribune building,” exclaimed a voice at
his shoulder.
Wagner looked and looked long, but he
did not see the man on the spire, and when
he turned around the owner of tho voice
had disappeared. He strolled around a
few minutes. He remembered that he had
an engagement to meet a friend and
reached for his watch. The timepiece
was gone. So he went and bought an
other and kept the matter silent.
AAagner believed that the next man who
got anything off of him would be a dan
dy. He strapped his new watch around
his waist with a trace chain, secured his
shoes by straps over his shoulders fast
ened his neckties to both his vest and his
shirt and feit reasonably secure. That
night he went down to a music hall to see
the greatest vaudeville in America. As
..w’ as leaving one man on a corner said:
May I trouble you for a match, sir?”
W agrner unbuttoned and reached in his
pockec for the match. He handed' the
match, the man grabbed his right hand

ITi in usical Music.
From the Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx.
Who shall define Arab music? It has
l>een described as the singing of a prims
donna who has rupiured her voice In try
ing to sing a duet with herself. Each note
starts from somewhere between a sharp
and a fiat, but does not stop even there,
and splits up Into four or more portions,
of which no person can be expected to
catch more than one at a time. John
Oliver Hobbes says there Is a great law of
Infidelity In the human race—a man must
lie faithless to something, either to a wo
man. or his deity, or his most cherished
belief. The Arab musician la always un
faithful—to his stave and his keynote.
But faith unfaithful makes him falsely
true to the ears of his hearers, and they
enjoy and applaud his wrang.es with
harmony. Their singing reminds one of
the wails of a bereaved Thomas suffering
from a ncuie attack of gastritis, compli
cated with neuralgia.

THE MUSIC OF THE WATERS.
Sublime Melodies Sung by the Tors
rout of a Waterfall.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A student of romance will find tntioS
that interests him in every part of tha
British Columbian mines. Let him
Ko to the Slocon and sleep by th*
Haunted Butte, a lonely mountain not
twenty miles from Sandon. A prospector
who was there one night quite recent!)',
thus tells of his experiences: ‘‘l camped
near the edge of a dark gorge. It wa *
a wild spot, and Just as I lay down t
sleep tho wind commenced soughing down
the gorge. All at once I was startled
by a burst of sublime music. It sounded
like a hundred fine-strung instruments
playing togc-iher. Then came clashing
of cymbals and the music grew soft ana
faint until it died in the distance, ion
bet I was frightened. As far as I knew
there was not a soul within miles of m
place. I lay listening. I heard a fa 1 " 1
twang, then a flute-like silvery peal, f01 ‘ ,
lowed by a chime of bells. Every
ment you can think of seemed to be P‘ n >'
ed by a master hand. Low at first, an
only at Intervals, the melody of ® oun .
Intermixed until it swelled Into a *h l ’“
orchestra, and once more died aw i.y 1
a wall. I heard that orchestra "' VI .
times during the night, and came to
conclusion that there are more things
heaven and earth than are dreamed
in our philosophy. When I awoke,
noises of the tumbling waterfall nb°
me were the only sounds I heard. I 1
vestigated that mystery and found j
it was the wind that produced i '
heavenly music. At night, when ev .
thing is still, you can hear the m -
that in the day is only rushing '
The wind has to be in a certain direcwjjj
when sweeping down the canon it
the waterfall in such a v. ’_ 0 j
to givo the sound the resembh'ce
an orchestra playing.” Other preei's .
have slept by “Musical Butte” an
the music of the waters, but none
given any explanation save U' {
Just quoted. Not a few also
the sounds down to "spooks," and 1
been afraid to stax tha night by >
Haunted Butte.
