W0M.IN'S FOREIGN MISSIONARY So
CIETT.
Meeting Held LAST Nieht

Preliminary Meeting Held Last Night
A meeting was held last evening at Foundry
Church in the interest Of the Womans For.
eign Missionary Society, this being prelim-
nary to tho annual meeting of the Baltimore
branch of that society, which is to be held at
the same church to-day, from ten a. m. to four
p. IN.
The services were opened with prayer by DIR.
Lanahan, pastor of the church, and were agree
ably interspersod with singing, under the lead
crship of Mr.. Wilson. ....
Mrs. Stevens, of Wilmington, Del, was in
troduced, and said there was time when the
duty of Christians toward the heather was very
poorly defined in her mind, and she regarded
tn Scriptures as containing only two or three
texts that were applicable to the heathcn. She
thought those few texts might answer for
Meth odist preachers who would not preach TO
the same people but few years, while
she felt considerable sympathy for
the preachers of Presbyterian and some
other churches, whose rules required
their ministers to preach at least once year
on the subject Of foreign missions. There
came afterward time when her mind was
enlightened on the subject and the Bible
| seems full of appeals in behalf of tho heather.
In regard to tho progress made in the mis-
sionary work, she mentioned that tho Bible
| has been translated into nearly every Ian
guagc, and almost every nation Is now open to
civilization and Christianity; and, as an in
strumentality, she spoke Of the printing press.
What is it but the scattering Of the leaves for
| the healing of the nations? She related sew
eral incidents, showing the cheering and ele-
waiting effects of the Christian religion where
it has been introduced, and tried to impress
| upon her hearers the responsibility they are
under to aid in sending the gospel to that part

THE RED HANDED I E

Chicago, Oct. 6.-The Times has a full
correspondence touching the expedition Of
Maj. Thornburgh. Asst. Adjt..Gen. Will
liams at Fort Omaha has compiled it for the
purpose Of answering certain adverse news
paper criticism. 1t shows that Thornburgh
was selected as the man most fit for the task
by the orders of the general Of the army. Il
calls attention to the fact shown by the cor.
respondence that Agent Meeker and the
governor Of Colorado considered 100 men
sufficient to enforce order among the In
dams. Also that Thornburgh himself re.
garded the three companies Of cavalry and
one of infantry, 200nen, which he took, suf.
fcient for the expedition. Thornburgh VA
cautioned by a telegram sent after he was
we'll on his way, to advance with prudence,
and if he had reason to believe his force in
sufficient, 10 communicate With headquarters
and call for more, which he would receive.
He was advised that the matter was left en-
tirelv to his discretion.
On September 26, T%hornburgh sent this
telegram from camp on Bear Creek, COL:
"Have met some of the Ute chiefs here.
They seem friendly and promise to 60 with
me to the agency. The Utes don't under
stand why I came here and l have 10 ex.
plain satisfactorily. Don't now anticipate
trouble"
The conclusion is that Thornburgh, one
of the most prudent and discreet of officers,
was thrown off his guard BY the savages and
that the blame cannot either be imputed to
him o. to the department.
Cheyenne Agency, Oct. Cool. Bracket,
of the Third cavalry, leaves Fort Laramie
tomorrow to take command of his regiment
ip the-feld. He will be Joined here by
Majs. Evans and Carleton and proceed to
