Curtis, the Returned Mission ary , to Lecture at St. Andrew's Church at An Esrly Date. The Star Saturday morning noted that the Rev. L. W. Curtis, who re cently returned from missionary work in Siam, was a guest of the Rev. A. D. McCiure, pastor of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church. He came over from Winnabow, -Brunswick county. where he and his wife are at the home of her father. The people of Wilmington will be interested to learn that the Rev. Mr. Curtis will lecture on Siam and the work there, in about two weeks at St. Andrew's Church. He left Bankok, Siam, in August, reached San Francisco October 9th, and came directly to Wilmington about six weeks ago. He and Mrs. Curtis en gaged in missionary work in the city of Lakawn, in the province of Laos, about 400 miles from Bankok, the chief city of Siam. Lakawn is a city of 70,000 inhabitants, and is distant 70 miles from Cheingmai, a city of 300.000 inhabitants, the chief city of the province. Mr. Curtis, in speaking of the work in Siam, says, the converts at the Pres byterian mission average 200 to 300 a year, ine work; of Christianizing and educating the Siamese goes hand in hand. The King of Siam, Mr. Curtis says, is an educated, enlightened man, and is tolerant and liberal towards people of all religious faiths. The chief religion of Siam is theoretically Budhism, but practically the people are demonologists. Many are, how ever, taking readily to Christianity and the outlook is encouraging. Ignorance and superstition are the bane of the people. Only the Siamese Christian women are able to read. Mr. Curtis says the fact that women of the lower class are learning to read is stimulating the higher classes to re ceive education. A proud princess, -seeing that one of her women could read, sent for her slave and got her to teach her to read also. Mr. Curtis, it will be remembered, married Miss Lillian Johnson, of Brunswick county, a niece of Gover nor D. L. Russell. They had two chil dren, both born in Siam. The oldest is a boy two years of age, and the little fellow speaks both Siamese and English. When Mr. Curtis comes here to lec ture he will bring with him a number of idols and curios which he brought with him from Siam. F. W. Eatridge, of Greensboro, arrived in the city last evening. CAROLINA BEACH PRETTIER THAN EVER. A Big Crowd Went Dowa On the Steamer Wilmington Sunday to See the Dam are Done by the Storm. The steamer Wilmington, according to Capt. Harper's announcement made a trip to Carolina Beach, Snnday after noon, leaving at 2 P. M and getting back to town at 6 P. M. Notwithstanding the threatening weather, Capt. Harper oarried down a party, of nearly two hundred ladies and gentlemen who wanted to see the destruction wrought by the hurricane of October 30th, 31st. By the time the steemer left, the weather had become right favorable and the trip turned out to ba a very pleasant one The railroad from the pier to the beach had been repaired and was in good condition to within 150 or 200 yards of the .Oceanic Hotel. The greater part of the section of road that had been destroyed by the storm has been graded and it will all be rebuilt better than ever, before very long. The party only realized the destruct' iveness of the storm till they looked on the scene. The condition of the cottages was just as the storm had left them, except the houses, of course, that had been swept away by the tidal wave, for such many believe it to have been. Another exception, also, is the cottage of Mr. Walter Small bones who is having his house rebuilt. He pluckily determined to rebuild and the frame of his cottage is already up. The storm left the beach itself pret tier than it ever was. The waters levelled off the sand clean over to the sound, and the beach is now two feet higher than it was before, the ocean having piled the sand up higher. The beach is also wider, a part of the sound having been filled in with sand washed over by the enormous storm tide. Among the passengers who took in the trip was Mr. W. H. Fallon, ob server of the weather bureau here. He went down to ascertain what dam age Had been done to tne United States signal station. He found that the building was undermined, and its front turned to the south instead of the east as it originally stood. The window blinds had been torn away, the glass in the sash smashed, and the doors stove in. The building can be repaired. It is noised around that the steamer Wilmington will probably make an other trip to the beach on Thanksgiv ing day (next Thursday), and that there will be an oyster roast- at the beach.
