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

There are no seats the visitors remain
standing, while the worshipping congre

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

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." J. E. Richmond.
