All Wong, after diligent toll for
twelve years in the white mans
country, has amassed sufficient
money to return to China, and for
a safe voyage and that his parents
may be permitted to retain the
'yital spark" was the Offering yes
terday made. A fusilade of fire
crackers and bombs opened tine
performance, followed by music
discoursed by a Chinese orchestra.
For fear the gods might overlook
him, All Wong had large panel
sign-board with his name gaudily
painted and gold-leafed thereon,
made in San Francisco and for
warded to him. This was decora-
ted with red flannel, and now occu-
pies conspicuous position in view
of the idols in the Chinese Joss
house. An additional offering OF
two massive bouquets of artificial
flowers stood in close proximity to
the boss joss, and All Wong is
happy in the thought that whatever
may befall his fellow-travelers, he
will be delivered safe and dry on
the shore of the Eastern hemis-
phere. After the offering, a.ban-
quet was provided by All Wong for
his friends. None of the women

How a woman BECAME "a Mason

1t was curiosity which led Hon.
Mrs. Aldworth, of Cork, Ireland,
and the only female Mason that
ever existed, to secret herself in q
Masonic lodge and discover the Sc
crets of the craft the story Of the
SHADY in the clock pasp" being by
no means apocryphal, as eyon the
generality of Masons are them
selves inclined to treat it, 1t is
simply an historical fact that the
lady Just mentioned did so secrete
herself, and further, that when dis.
covered she was at once "made a
Mason" She continued to take an
active interest in the order through-
out her life; she founded the Dub
lin benevolent institution for orphan
daughters Of Masons, and her por-
trait still hangsin a principal lodge
room in Cork, and under it, in a
glass case, the Masonic apron and
Jewel she used to wear, Whether
curiosity will ever incite another
lady to attempt to elude the vigi-
lance of the 0tilsrp remains to be
seen,

A cruel hoax was recently perpe-
trated on two members Of the
Hebrew community who presented
themselves at The Synagogue in
Birmingham, Eng, to be married.
The ceremony was interrupted by
the arrival Of a telegram to the
rabbi informing him that the bride
groom WIS already married and had
Two children. The bride was re.
moved in a fainting condition, and
the bridegroom was chased through
the streets by a mob, who saluted
him with "a shower of stones and
mud" Investigation has since
proved that the telegram was a for
gerry, and tbe Wedding will take
place after all,

There are in Connecticut 256
ponds, each having five acres or
more of surface. Efforts have been
made to Introduce valuable fish
into them, apparently without sue
cess. In thirteen ponds 10000
young land-locked salmon were put
last year, but none of them are now
TO be found. There are trout in
6fty-seven ponds, bass in flfty-seven,
pickerel in 1876. Il is believed that
the numberof salmon visiting the
rivers of Connecticut is now on the
increase.

DEATH OF AN HERO OF 1S12.-Capt. Gyms
Alden died in Leeds last Monday at the age of
SO years. Capt. Alden was supposed to be the
Oldest Mason in the state at the time of his
death. As early as 1909 he built Masonic
hall in Bridgewater, Mass. Just when he join
ed the order is not known. He came from good
old Plymouth stock, being the nearest living
relative to John Alden. In the war of 1872
when Gov. Strong issued an order for the troops
to report in Bostonithe news reached Bridg-
water on Sunday morning and Capt. Alden at
once ordered the company which he controlled
to meet at the old meeting house at 4 o'clock
that Sunday afternoon. When the hour arriv-
ed II members of the company of infantry re.
ported. Capt. Alden at once started for Bos-
ton aud reached there late ia the evening Gov.
Strong was much surprised at the pr, mptness
of action, as he had made no provision for the
men, not expecting them for several days.
Capt. Alden was not man of words but one
of actions. He was hale and hearty up to the
time OF his death. He was the father of MIR.

The Revival Meetings,

The meeting at the Second Parish church
last evening was we'll and largely attended,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather, near
ly every seat in the house was filled. The ser
vice opened with singing 1.-THE mistakes Of my
lie have been many" Prayer was offered by
hev. Mr.. McWhnnie of the Free street church,
followed by singing Jesus lover of my soul. :"
prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Fem Of High
street church, followed by singing precious
promise God hath given"
hev. Mr.. Needham announced his text as
Luxe, Nv; Is, 10. The special topic selected was
the mission OF Christ as deliveler He came
TO preach deliyeianee to the captive" He
came to be delverer, but before he took upon
himself this Office. He was himself delivered. The
Lord Jesus delivered himself for our sins. Do
we believe this, do We accept it in our hearts?
de is able to offer delverance to us from our
SINS because He has thus delivered Himself in
our behalf There are very many things from
which He offers us deliverance, but we have
not time tonight for but two or three.
And first He came to deliver US from the guilt
OF our sins. Thou shalt call His name Jesus
for He shall save His people from their SINS
He bore the penalty of our sins.
Second. He delivers from the power of sin.
Sin is tyrant more cruel and more despotc
than Nero, but 'front.' tyranny and bondage
the Lord Jesus comes to deliver us. So our
Christianity is not a mere sentiment, not
mere preparation for death; it is deliyerance
from the pow Ter of sin.
Third, He delivers from the fear OF death. In
Heb. 9, Is l read that He came to sdeliyer
them who through fear ofIdeath were all their
Lifetime subject to bondage" And so as we
accept Christ, we shall find Him deliverer
from the fear and the terror of DEATH
Fourth, He delivers from the power of Satan.
Fifth, He delivers from the wrath to come
This He does for His followers now, not by and
by, and all who will may accept His deliver
ance tonight. Those who refuse Him, who
turn away from Hin, who reject Him, must
meet this wrath to come alone. Without Jesus
there is no remedy. The hymn "Free from the
law was sung.
At the conclusion of the regular service an
hour was spent in conversational inquiry
meeting, at which large portion of the audi
fence remained and great interest was mani.
tested.
The services for to-day are as follows; Morn
ing prayer meeting at 9 o'clock; melting for
women, led by Mrs. Needham, at 8 o. m, and
preaching service in the evening at 7.3O, all at
the Second Parish church.
