FRUITS OP MISSIONARY ENDEAVOR Natives Who Have Been Reclaimed and Civilized as a Rrault of the Patient Toil of a Noble Band of Misionaric--Sitko' Greek Church and Muscovite C'nstlcOther Novel Feature. Written for The Tribune. The Russo-Greek church 13 one of the most striking objects of Interest In Sitka to the tourist, not so much for what It Is in Itr.elf as for the paint 1HR9, vestments and othpr art treas ures. It contains.- As we had never seen a Russian church we were somewhat impressed with this gorgeously orna mented ecclesiastical structure. It la built of wood, is of ancient design and compares In srrandour with most any Roman Catholic edifice of the. rnmo grade and antiquity that we have ever seen. Tho church occupies a qund ranjrle, midway in tho main (Lincoln) street, facing the bay. It Is of peculiar plan, In the form of a Greek cross, and is painted silver gray with green trlm- rnlngs. The roof of the main room forms a large oriental dome, which is surmounted by a gilt cross, also orna mented with emerald green. One wing is used as a chapel. The cuyola con tains a chime of six bolls, it Is pos sessed of great weulth in the way of vestments und altar furnishings be ' rides-ethen rich gifts as well as num erous valuable old paintings, true works of art. It was dedicated In 1844. when Tenlamlnoff, then Metropolitan of Mos cow, sent rich vestments, plate', pic tures and altar furnishings, presented by the Imperial family. Tho church Is opened to visitors on Steamer days for a charge of fifty cents, which goes Into tho poor fund of tho parish. By Invitation, we Joined tho vice presidential party on its visit. Rt. Rev. Bishop Nicholas being absent In Russia, Rev. Father SobololT court eously showed us the costly and mag nificent vestments, plates and tho bishop's crown, etc., allowing us to photograph the Fame together with the portraits of the prince and prelates that hung upon the walls. IN A GREEK CHURCH. The interior Is richly decorated, mainly in white and gold, especially the chancel, which Is raised above the body of the church and approached by three broad steps, leading to four doors, two of which are handsomely carved , ' and' richly gilded. Massive candle- sticks stand at either side of the doors and the screen holds full-length ple- tinea of St. Michael and St. Nicholas in armor and robes of beaten silver and with Jeweled hulos and helmets. Above is a large picture of the "Last Sup ' per," covered with silver, as are two others, one on each side of the altar. The chapel und the altar In the right transept are dedicated to St. John the Baptist. This contains, besides a curious font, an exquisite painting of the "Virgin and Child." copied from the celebrated picture at Moscow. All the drapery, we are told, is of silver and the halo of gold. So of the paint ing itself, nothing is seen but the faces and background. The Madonna Is kept under glass, but the custodian of the church removed the glass for our Inspection. Among other works of the old mas ters, was "Abraham Entertaining Angels," "Elijah Receiving Food from the Ravens." "Baptism of Christ In the ' Hives Jordan-by St.-John.". -Birth of j the Savior," "Story of the Bible," "The Four Evangelists," Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, In separate paintings, "The Ascension," and many more valu able paintings donated by Russian no bility. An odd feature of the church . pictures Is that of the principal ones only the faces are left exposed; the halo and garments being of silver are bent or twisted into shape. Across the threshold of these massive doors Into the sanctuary no woman y may set her foot, and across the inner i . ones Into the Innermost sanctuary, or , "Holy of Holies," none but the priest himself or his superiors of the Greek church, or the white czar can enter. ... The doors, however, usually stand open. Although few Russians are left J in Alaska, the czar of Russia as tem v poraj head of, the Greek orthodox - church, - maintains the seventeen ...... churches and ninety-two chapels in Alaska, and the chapels In San Fran cisco and Ohirnrrn at an IfiO.OOO a year. -v(f INVALUABLE RICHES. The church treasury contains many Men vestments. Jeweled crowns, CrOflSea. PnaUatn o n .1 Hnl I .. 1 - - - " i?uiuaric9, illu minated breviaries and missals, with Jeweled and enameled covers. The bishop's mitred cap Is a marvel. It is . several hundred years old and full Jeweled, almost covered with emeralds, sapphires and pearls. The crowns Used In the wedding ceremony a pres ' i -!: ?nt '? re flrst b'shop sent from JRussia to Alaska-are also very ornate, as is . . the bishops see and the great diamond . . cross. But the czar's Jeweled Bible is - equally as attractive. Its silver cover weighs twenty-seven pounds. This was taken to San Francisco in 186S to ', gether with some of the richest vest l;i . metits of the church, and afterward V stolen by some discharged United States soldiers, but they were recov ered Jn.a mtated condition and re fire,1vt0 SltJta' We we'e shown, too, f . th ( -?- for the marriage service and that used during Lent, and also the one worn on Easter Sunday.

These priests are not allowed to shave or cut their hair and their general appearance may be Imagined. There are no seats the visitors remain standing, while the worshipping congre gation stands or kneels and a male choir of both men and boys chant In plaintive tones with continuous repeti tion in the Greek language throughout the entire service, the profundo voices of the men singers contrasting strange ly with the piping tones of the boys.

"kely to admit. On the south side of the church Is a ponderous log building occupied by the Sitka Trading company, as a general trading store. . It was formerly the head office of ' the Russian-American Fur company, and often held pelts to the value of $1,009,000 in early Russian days. Here we found an array of Rus sian and Indian relics, only excelled by those at the Jackson museum. Near the wharf are the barracks and custom house, which were also built by the Russians. The barracks now serve the purpose of the territorial Jail and also court house. The little square at the left of the street near the beach was once a Russian shipyard. On the op posite side Is the modest residence of the governor of the territory, and, by the way. Governor Sheakley Is a form er Pennsylvanian. Presbyterian and school 'commissioner. We called at the primitive gubernatorial mansion, which is an old-time Russian cottage, built altogether on a ground floor plan. With low ceilings and broad veranda. It has been modernized by modest wall paper. Electric bells admit you and oil lamps light your way. Tho governor grants his callers a cordial Pennsylvania welcome, and those who are favored with an invitation to be come his guests are courteously and royally entertained. In the square is a granite monument, designating the United S:ates As tronomioal station In latitude C7 tie- rrees, minutes north and longitude 135 degrees. 19 minutes eaot. Directly opposite the governor's residence is the Presbyterian church, a neat woodon structure, as our photographs Indicate, while adjoining It are the present bar racks of the United States soldiers. who comprise two companies. A small part of the old stockade which kept the natives without the Russian town at' ter proscribed hours, still remains, al though most of the barricade was de stroyed after the withdrawal of the American troops in 1877. Adjoining 1 the old block house, formerly a fort, that commanded an angle of the stock ade. Kutalan's Rock bears the name of an ancient chief who hud his habl tat Inn here. O the slopes back of the native "ranchlere" are the burial grounds of the Russians and the Slt- kans, a quaint and Interesting place to visit. Just beyond the church Is the "Old Russian Saw Mill," with its out side wooden water wheels, say twenty feet In diameter. Inside It was grap pling with a cedar log four feet In dia meter. Among the unusual things you notice In Sitka are great Mocks of huge crows, or ravens. They come from the Islands in the harhor and swirl rounu and round, lighting upon the beach and prominent objects with an air of fear less assurance and perfect security, for they are never molested by the natives, who regnrd these "blnck-wlnged, un canny fowls of the air" with a sort of veneration, believing that the spirits of their departed dead Inhabit their bodies. They are exempt from gun and arrow: and. swarm everywhere. THE MUSCOVITE CASTLE. To some visitors the ruins of the old Muscovite castle on the hill Is most Interesting. This (Huranoff) castle was. once a fort, the residence of the Russian governor and also a light house. iThe height on which the castle stands (it is now in ruins) is eighty feet above the street. The pile is reached by a long Might of steps. Muny stories are told of romance and crime of days when Russian barons and beau tiful princesses passed days and nights within the castle In joyous living. It was a massive structure, 86 by CI feet, three stories high, with a glass cupola, used as a light house, the lamp stand ing Hi) feet above the sea. It was an octagonal block house, built of logs of huge dimensions, jointed with copper bolts and riveted to the rocks. It was noted for Its capacious rooms, which were richly furnished when transferred to the United States In 1807. In order to preserve ths structure from decay, our government expended three years ago some Jl 1.000. but after completion It was mysteriously' burned Murch 17, 1894, and has not been rebuilt. In ISCtf, when Secretary Seward and party vis ited Sitka, they were royally enter tained In this castle, then In good con dition and in one of these spacious chambers Lady Franklin, then in her eightieth year, sat and wept as she waited in vain for tidings of her lost husband. There are several other structures built during Russian occu pancy, surrounding the green and well kept plaza, or parade ground, with their unique white-washed walls and gardens. In the harbor this day are the United States steamship Plnta and revenue cutter Waleott, two naptha launches, two large fishing smacks and numer ous canoes, also the elegant steam yacht, Eleanor, owned by W. A. Slat er, of Norwich, Conn., who with a party of friends is taking a nineteen months' tour of the world. This latter craft Is said to cost with her equipments a half million dollars. Still, our beauti ful Queen towers above them all, and her arrival Is the most important event In the Sitka n calendar. Steamer day is welcomed as another messenger from civilization, bringing anxiously looked for tidings from home and friends to those who from choice or circumstances have found a home here on the Alaskan frontier. So exactly does she keep her schedule time that the residents speak of what took place "two Queen's ago," and "three Queen's ago," or "the last Queen," or "this Queen." The people are never taken unawares by her ar rival, and all the flags wave to welcome her. Her stays In port are the events to, date by. Steamer time Is one hour faster than Sitka time, a fact which prospective tourists should remember. The Russians count their time differ ently from us; they are eleven days earlier. For Instances today is August 17,- United Stales time; but according to Russian time, it Is Aug. 6. THE TRAINING SCHOOL. The principal street of Sitka extend from the wharf to the Greek church, and then bends around this noble edifice and winds along the beach for a half mile to the Presbyterian Industrial school. From ttiere is a romantic path, through the woods along the Indian river to Mount Testovla and Holy Cross with Its sacred sign of unsullied snow. To every student of human nature and those Interested in the enlightenment, education and ChriMlanlzntion of these dark-skinned Alaskans, this training school affords an opportunity to wit ness the results-of this great work, and to sec the Indian as Influenced by mis sionary, efforts. This is an Institution whore native children are taken In youth, educated and taught various trades. It is supported by the Pres byterian Board of Home Missions, though the United States government in 18S4 appropriated $15,000 towards maintaining it. All the Alaska Indians have shown a great desire to be edu cated, that they might be able to read the letter (the Bible) sent them through the white man from the "Great Spirit." The difficulty experienced by the mis sionaries has been in getting school room enough to accommodate them. We visited the mission by invitation of Rev. Mr. Austin, and viewed Its workings with deep Interest. This mis sion, or training school, as It is called, faces the bay and with its eighteen buildings, Including the "model cot tage," presents an Imposing appear ance. It was established In 1877 by the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, through the efforts of Rev. Sheldon, Jackson, D. D., with Mrs. A. R. McFar land as assistant, but this work among the Alaskans was undertaken by the "Woman's executive committee" of that board In 187V. and In 1883-4, the en tire work of sustaining mission schools (not only among Indians, but. also among the Freedmen, Mexicans - and Mormons) was transferred to their care. The school Is now in charge of Rev! and Mrs, A. R, Austin, who came here ten years ago, and with the assistance of such co-workers as Mrs. Suxeman, Mrs. Weaver, Mrs. Wade, and other teachers now engaged, have brought the school to Its present high state of efficiency. This mission now contains one hun dred native boys and girls. They art j bright and Intelligent in many, ways and the amount of musical talent they display is simply wonderful. They learn very readily and some of tho pu pils recite and pray In English instead of their own gutteral tongue. These natives are far superior In intelligence and honesty to those of tho plains. There is a complete system of buildings, dormitories, school rooms, carpenter, blacksmith and shoemaker shop, a hospital, a church, a bakery and steam laundry. The laundry and industrial school building were the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott F. 8hepard. of New York. The unfinished chapel when completed will be a source of thankfulness. The main hall contains the school rooms, superintendent's quarters, and boys' dormitory; connected by a passageway are the teachers' quarters and girls' dormitory. Beyond the mission is a model settlement of school graduates of which I will speak later. The girls are taught to cook and sew and the boys are experts In carpentry and other trades. The chairs and bedsteads of their manufacture were neatly made una arc to ue found in most of the civ ilized Indian houses. The boys wear a blue uniform and the girls are dressed alike and learn to give considerable attention to their general appearance. Among the half-breeds and the natives, ton. rone have considerable beauty of face and figure. We are constantly impressed that they are descended from the Japanese. I repent, the Christian In dian children whom we met w?re uni versally polite and In appearance far more Intelligent than the untutored pagan children of the :'rnneh!erie." The contrast Is so Ftriklng that the least doubt Is easily removed as to the ad vliblllty of giving the natives of Alas ka the benefit of Christian clvillzetion. Tho native (Rev. Mr. Austin's) church was organized ten years ago with 49 members. Now there are 4S3 names on the church loll, nearly all natives. Ex ercises are usually Jield In the school room on steamer days. The Mission bund plays there, and usually sounds a farewell at thw wharf. Looking at this mission field In Its Sunniest light one can scarcely realize what an Immense amount of labor and self abnegation this training school rep resents and too much praise cannot be given to the good and reiined man and woman, Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Austin, and their valued co-laborers, who, with no conveniences, no houses to live In, no appliances to work with, and with poor support bravely took up the work of bringing these capable but darkened minds Into elightened Christianity and civilization. .. MODEL COTTAGES. One of the most Interesting features of the training school here is found In he "Madel Cottage" which the pupils build, own and occupy. They exhibit the results In part of the sixteen years of effort for the betterment of the condi tion of these nations and stand as con vincing arguments In favor of Chris tlanty and education. These cottages, eight In number, are situated Just be yond the mission, near the hospital. We were shown through some of them by- Rev. Mr. Austin, who spoke of them and their occupants with pardonable pride.Theyare neat frame houses, main ly of four rooms with a porch, arranged along the two streets. They are built by the aid of the National Indian as sociation, at a cost of $100 each and are Bold to the Christian natives on the In stallmeut plan. Different Sunday schools and societies have furnished the money with wjh to build them, and each is named In honor of Its benefac torusually the pastor of the church, whose Sunday school aided In Its erec tion. For Instance on one Is the little brown and gold sign, "Miller Cottage," another, "Bryn Mawr" cottage and also "Cobb." "New York," and "North field"cottages. The "Miller Cottage" Is owned by one. Rudolph, a member and elder In Rev.' Austin's church, an expert silversmith, engagea In the Sitka Trading Store, where tourists are cour teously and honorably treated by this Christian Indian gentleman. This cot tage is only a fair sample of the others. It is a model of neatness and comfort, and In modern furniture, compares favorably with carefully kept work men's homes In Pennsylvania or New England. They are truly models In comparison with the generally wretched and dirty homes In the rancherie. No thoughtful person can behold the sharp contrasts that are presented be tween the natives In their homes of squalor and the bright, intelligent promising youths of the Mission school, without a deep sense of the possibilities of this great work. THE BLARNEY STONE. Some visitors are Interested In the "Blarney St one," which Is a square block on the beach near the "Mission" and is believed to dower the one kissing it with a ''magic tongue." Governor Baranoff Is said to have spent many fine afternoons sitting on It. There is a Russian Inscription on its face and the United States man-of-war, or rev enue cutter, used to cut Its name on It as an Imperishable record of entry. Again we visited the "rancherie," this time with Annahoott. the "Head chief of the Sitkan tribe," as the In scription over his house reads. Anna hoots Is not only the chief of his tribe, but chief of police of Sitka, appointed by Governor Knapp six years ago, and draws $10 per month salary from the United States government. He has been a member of Rev. Mr. Austin's church for ten years and Is now ruling elder. Dressed in policeman's full uniform, with badges representing his official stations, he wears his honors with be coming dignity. He Is revered by his tribe, who always salute him wherever they meet and Is honored and respected by all the white people of Sitka. On this oscasion we were shown a store of curios, baskets and blankets curiously wrought, and witnessed the process of basket-making and weaving, which was marvelous. They display the same de gree of Ingenuity In weaving and cro cheting In various colors as do our American ladies In their "fancy work." Specimens presented to us indicate skillful workmanship. At evening this "worthy chief" hon ored us with a call at our state room on the Quoen. bringing his lnte.rpretcr.Ken dall by name, a boy fourteen years old and a member of Rev. Mr. Austin's school. He also brought with him and presented to us tokens of friend ship, the handiwork of his wife, and also the "war club" or totem of his family, which he inherited upon the death of his uncle, Head Chief Alexis Annahootz, who died Jan. C, 1890, mourned alike by his tribe and the white people whom he had protected from Invasion and massacre in 1878. This emblem Is more highly prized than any souvenir received on our en tire trip. .The one and one-half hours' Interview was not only profitable but enjoyable. In this interview we were deeply Impressed with the Christian spirit manifested by this Indian chief, especially when he said through his interpreter, that "I would rather be called a good Christian man than a great chjef."
