Chicago TrIbune. Aprll q.

oI(ANaa
Chicago Tribune, April q.
The Tribune gave yesterday a necessarily
brief account Of the collapse Of the ADVENT
ist folly al midnight. The thunder storm,
which came up early in the evening. and
which brOHght such dismay 70 many who
were secretly perturbed, carried the assem-
blage TO an estate pitch Of feeling. They
eagerly peeTed through the windows, and
became iubilant as the storm swept along
and the lightnings flashed. 1t was during
this excitement that a woman, who had
sought out the Adventists and Joined her
self to them that day, asked Elder Thurman
to heal her of neuralgia complaint that
was affecting her with great pain. Laying
his hands ON her head in a reYerent way,
he said: 81 say unto you in the name of
the Father, and Of the Son, and Of the Holy
Ghost, be thou made WHOLE And imme-
diately, according to the WOman's pyOfes-
sion, the pain left her, and she began prais-
ing God.
At O'Clock, the table being set and all
made ready, they sat down. The ceremO-
ny Of feet-Washing was first in order. The
chairs were placed with their backs to the
table, so that the gaze Of the men and wO-
men was turned away from one another.
As these ceremonies anteccdent 20 the sup
per had reached until after Q, the Advent
lists were pretty hungry, and fell to with
good will. Little children who had fallen
asleep during the foregoing exercises
awOke, and betOOk themselves to active
exertiOn, and the assembly put on picnic
appearance.
Under the nineteenth head-"Some in
teresting conversation with those who love
Jesus"-eaeh, beginning with the man sit
ting to the left Of Elder Thurman, rose,
and made some remarks. They were all
characterized by a tone Of depression and
q nervous assertion Of continued faith.

The RAILROAD WAR.

The war between the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad and the Pennsylvania
Central is of unusual interest to the
public. The immediate cause of the
outbreak was the refusal on the part of
the Pennsylvania Central to allow the
Baltimore & Ohio to run cars over their
track to New York; but the origin OF
the fight dates back to the railroad con-
vention recently held at Saratoga, where
Mr.. Garrett, president of the Baltimore
& Ohio road refused to join the ring for
combination and high freight.
The public receive some immediate
benefit and temporary advantages in
the lowering of freights and passage
between the East and West but the
permanent advantages will be in having
the question decided that it is possible
to have private competition in the
carrying business, to allow railroads-as
Mr.. Garrett claims they have a right to
do-the privilege of fixing their own
freight tariffs without regard to the
action of combinations. The Baltimore
& Ohio road is very wealthy having q
capital stock of some twenty-six million
dollars, is under the management of able
and experienced men. and if it be PosS
BILE for a railroad managed by private
individuals to succeed in such contest
it ought to be able to carry the war il
has inaugurated to victorious teFmiaa
tion.
Competition is the fife of business, ant
it will be a matter of rejoicing to the
people if the fact is to be established that
we are to have competition in the carry
ing business. But if the Baltimore 4
Ohio is finally compelisd lo surrender,
combination strong and complete will b
formed and we believe that the onl
successful remedy for the people will b
in leading trunk lines of railway ownse
and controlled by the government.

THE Young Ladies' Christian Ls-
sociation of New York, at a recent meet
ing, made their annual report of the
work they have been doing in the cause
of practical benevolence during the past
year. In that city there are 100000 wo-
men between the age of fifteen and thirty,
and the Young Ladies' Christian Asso-
citation has give kind words, extended a
helping hand and endeavored to find
pleasant homes for those of this number
who are in misery and want. Rev. Wn.
Adams addressed the association, and
after commencing the work performed
by the association as especially praise.
worthy, be urged upon them the import
ance of laboring to dignity domestic Ia
Dor. thus removing from the minds OF
young women the horror they have OF
this service. Whitelaw Reid followed
Mr.. Adams with an appeal for justice to
women, claiming that where they 90
equal work with men, their pay should
be equal. He also urges the Importance
Of such associations tesching the doctrine
that women who labor and earn their
own living should be honored because
they do work.
If the Young Ladies' Christian As
sociation in New YORK, or elsewhere, are
making any progress against the evil
mentioned above, they are doing great
work not only for the women but fol
humanity. The reforms greatly needed
for the women are, that young ladie'
NAV do the domestic work in families
without being considered disSraced fo'
life; and that women who do the same
work as men may receive the same com
pensation therefor. We are sorry tha
those who are champions OF "women'
rights are not more Jealous IN tnei
Iabors for the remedy of the above men
toned eyiis. They are of greater import
ance than the right to vote and hoie
office.
