They tell funny story about GER
tain Chicago society lady and Herr
Sylvia, the tenor robusto OF the Ger
man opera troupe. II seems that
this lady wanted TO give grand So
ciety splurge at her palatial residence,
and she was especially ambitious 10
regale her honored guests with the
culcet strains OF Herr Sylva's vocal
organs, Accordingly she secured an
introduction TO the German tenor, and
at once she invited him TO grace her
spacious drawing-rooms with his
presence, and TO ravish the atmos-
phere circumambient thereof with his
tuneful melodies. TO impress the
Teutonic troubadour with the awful
grandeur of the distinction she was
comforting upon him, as well as the
extraordinary solemnity of the con-
templated event, the lady said; The
affair will be very recherche; we are

Chickering II Ill TO hear her lecture on
"polygamy in Utah" Among other
things she said; To my mind the
blacs earted disloyalty OF the Nor
mon church, is the important issue.
Polygamy is not the corner stone of
the church Apostle John Taylor de-
nounced il while he had seven wives
in Salt Lake City and was paying at
tention TO young woman in the Isle
Of Jersey John Taylor is now the
president of the church, It's mouth
piece-a pretty sort OF an organization
il must be TO have such q mouthpiece.
The lecturer then told q number of
stories related TO her by Mormon wives
during her years soiourn in Utah,
stories Of mental anguish and misery
endured from compulsion and fr'm
religious fanatcism. Now, isn't this
a state OF things for us 10 be ashamed
of-those OF us who vote?" asked Miss
Field, and the simultaneous thump of
two hundred umbrellas left no ques-
ton OF the convictions of her audience.
TnE North Broad street Presbyterian

Philadelphia, was crowded on the

Bmhmin lady, who has been in the

She was dressed in native costume.
Around a drab-colorcd dress was
thrown white mantle, which envel-
oped her from head to foot, exposing
only the dark Hindoo face, with
flashing black eyes, and the delicate
hands. She told the story of her PEG.
pie in low tone Of voice, which was
not heard in the rear part of the con-
gregaton, In urging the Christian
people OF the world TO give to the
Hlndoos the true word OF God she
said it must not be done suddenly,
lest a fatal reaction should set in, but
1t should be by patient work, procopt
and principle, and in the spirit Of
Christianity, "T ere are l03,O00,000
women in India" said Pundita Ram
