The WOn ans Guild.

The annual report of the WO-
mans Guild of Christ Church is
most encouraging There are
about thirty active members.
At the election of officers Miss
Mary Harrison was retained as
President, Mrs. Didlake as Vice
President, Mrs. Williamson as
Secretary, and Miss Johns as
Treasurer. Mrs. Saffarans was
elected I'd Vice President. The
Treasurer reports S843 received
during the year and balance i'll
the treasury after liberal dis
bursements. Two of the latest
of these were $40 to the Bishops
fund and $40 to the Woman's
Auxiliary. The annual mem
bership fee of twenty-five cents
was collected for the ensuing
year. Mrs. Cronley's quarter"
came in the shape of a full-grown
fve-dollar bill. The

cord of all the various branches
of Guild work. There are now
enrolled twenty mothers, who as
semble every Friday from three
to five at the Good Shepherd
Mission to learn to sew and to
provide themselves with needful
clothing. Part of the time is
taken up in singing gospel
sons. The women are regularly
organized. They have been thus
associated about two months and
have paid in $40 for garments.
Their savings bank, to feed
which seems the most delightful
thing that they do, shows five
dollars boarded by extra exer-
ton, or some special act of self
denial. Cast-off clothing is made
over by their faithful fingers into
habitable articles. Mrs. Good
lOe, Mrs. VIM. Bruce, Mrs. Ock-
ford, Mrs. BeCkley, Mrs. Saffa-
rams and Miss Harrison have
been III attendance at the meet
ings. Another sy1npathizer in
the good work has played the
organ and sung songs with them.
The Rev. George w. Dunlap
made brief but timely address
to them one day, full of enCour-
agement and feeling. The do
nations to this society have thus
far been S. from Mrs. Woodward,
ST from Mrs. Crowley to buy
soap, Is cents from Mr.. Dunlap
to the little savings bank, piece
of cotton from Mrs. France, piece
of calico from Mrs. VIM. Bruce,
garden seeds from Mrs. A. H.
Lyme, seed from Mrs. Muir,
large box Of clothing from Mrs.
Ward, basket of clothing and
bundle OF papers from Mrs.
Potts, and a bundle of papers
containing cuts of famous horses,
from Mrs. Lewis Cook. The
papers were were given to put
on the walls of the dwellings.
Any kind of Cast-off clothing is
acceptable. Stockings that are
worn may be shaped anew and
made over. Donations will be
received at the Mission on Fri
day afternoon of each week.
This charity bears more prolific
promise of OutgrOWth than any
previous attempt in the direction
of helping the the poor. A friend
took some literary papers last
week and they were seized with
as much eagerness as though the
society had been a literary as
sembly.

more will be bought till next

twelve dollars represented the
savings. Miss Mary Downing's
Sunday School class added eight
dollars, saved in the same way,
to the sum, and thus the Guild
has twenty dollars towards the
price of the font, which will be
twenty-siX dollars. This money
dropped into the tempory bank
at odd times and never missed,
is just so much picked up from
an unrealized source. Mrs. Cron-
ley, with her customary coming
to-the-rescue prOmptitude, will
donate the necessary lettering OH
OH the font, which will be set in
place as soon as finished.
THE EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.
Mrs. OCkford, chairman, re-
ports 688 garments made during
the year, thirty-seven women
employed, five hundred garments
sold, and one hundred and ff-
teen given away. Mrs. Winston,
Mrs. Mcdowell and Mrs.
each gave whole piece of cloth
to be made up. The cutting
committee consists of two ladies
who volunteer each each week,
all taking turns, to spend an
hour Thursday morning at this
arduOus task. The women come
in groups and take the work
home. Sometimes twenty-five
or thirty garments are cut at one
sitting.
THE HOME ENDOWMENT FUND.
Mrs. VIM. Warren, chairman,
reports S928.96, all given in ten
cent pieces. Let not the Guild,
in the larger interests of the In
Urinary, lose sight Of the smaller
interests of the Church Home.
To raise fifteen hundred dollars
from so small beginning seems
at first chimerical, but money
planted i'll good soil will grow.
The Home is a noble institution,
giving aid to many whom mis-
fortune has cramped i'll worldly
resources. The ACCESSIBILITY of
a permanent endowment fund
should not be overlooked. Mrs.
Warren has the sum out at in
terest in two portions and guards
her treasure with COmmendable
avidity.
THE DORCAS BAG.
One of the most complete
Lenten offerings was the Dorcas
Bag, which contains several dozen

fellow sobbed aloud in his grief
"What is it ?" Took your
money. What did he do that for?"
and the father turned quickly
from his desk. "Come, come my
boy, don't cry. Tell me about it,"
The kind arm was around him
and the boy sobbed out his tale
Of woe.
"Why, l took Albert's sled out

he-he says [ must pay for it

Then Douglas broke out afresh,
rubbing his big black eyes with
his soiled fist till his face was
smeared with tears and dirt.
"Hush--sh, my boy. Be quiet
and talk so that | can get at what

him on his knee.
"That's all papa. l broke his

"And so he shall pay for it,
papa - shouted Albert, bursting
in with cheeks all rosy from the
cold and from anger. He had
caught the last words as he slam
med the door. "That's DO way

cap on chair and stood up to
the fire.
Take care, Albert" said his
father graveIy, "remember where
you are. Go hang you cap in the
proper place; then come back and

Albert obeyed, but was 50 ex-
cited that he began his speech
almost before he got back.
"StOp, STOP" said his father;

talk quietly"

the boy burst out again; he didn't
ask me to lend it to him. He took
it while l was at school, and now
one of the runners is all broken.

"Well, did you ask him to pay for

Douglas, who felt that he had

cHlcAeo's GREATEST BANQUET.
The Herald Man OvershadOws All Previ'
Ona EffOrta

Gus Efforts.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The record ol
Chicago has many d notable banquet &c
its credit, but there was an event
Thursday night that eclipsed everything
in that line that has gone before. The
scene was in the grand banqueting hall
of the famous Kinsleys, the guests the
members of the noted Clover club of
Philadelphia, with the addition Of some
hundred Chicagoans, prominent in all
walks of life, and the host, MIR. James
w. Scott, of the Chicago Herald.
The guests from Philadelphia arrived
here on special train at a late hour
Wednesday night. Among them were
Judges Reed, Eli Cook and Penrose;
Commissioner of Deeds George d.
Pierce, cx-Mayor Edwin A. Stuart,
Louis Maargee, Bradford Merrill, Royal
w. Merrill, William M. Bum and
James R. Young, all noted journalists.
General Felix Angus, the veteran pub
Usher of the Baltimore American, Sol.
Smith Russell, DR.. M. l.. Ruth, U. S.
NJ, of the Newark; Charles A. Deacon,
of the Reading railroad; Benton X.
Jameson, the banker; George w. Boyd,
of the Pennsylvania railroad; Charles
w. Brooke, the famous criminal lawyer
of New York, and others to the total 70
thirty. Henry Watterson will come
from Louisville, and Ex-Governor w. d.
Hoard from Wisconsin.
The local guests included Mayor
Washburne, Colonel r. Il. A. Cotton,
of the Fifteenth regiment, United
States regular, commandant of Fort
Sheridan; Civil Service Commissioner
Aldace F. Walker, Judges briggs and
Kohlsaat, ex-senator Palmer of Michi-
gan, and president of the worlds Colum-
bian commission; Hon. George r. Davis,

dent, ex-Minister to Persia Frederick s.

Gently presented the statue of General
grant to the city of Galena, and Frank
lin McVeigh.
Altogether covers were laid for 1870
guests. In the matter of elaborate de-
tail the preparation for the banquet
probably eclipsed anything before at
tempted in the entire country. All the
preliminaries down t. the smallest fea-
ture, were directed and supervised by
Mr.. Kinsley himself. The entire third
and fourth floors of his noted resort, in
cluding not only the main banquet hall,
but full score of private dining rooms
and yarlors, were reserved for the occa-
sion.
Orders for the clover to be used in
decorating purposes were placed with
local florists four months ago and repre-
sented the product of scores of acres of
ground. The menu was of twenty
courses and of the most elaborate de-
scription.
The guests sat down at o'clock in
the evening, and it was long after mid
night before the distinguished party
broke up.

DEATH FROM A DIZZY HEIGHT.
Three French Aeronauts Meet a Terrible
Fate.

Fate.
'ARIs, June ia fatal balloon trip
resulting almost to q certainty in the
loss of three lives, occurred at La Vii.
lette. A balloon, continuing a profes.
sional aeronaut and two other persons,
made an ascent about midday from La
Villette, the aerial venture being
watched by crowds of people, When
the balloon had reached a height Of not
more than sixty feet from the ground,
the aeronaut, who had been busily en-
gagged about the outside of the car, was
seen to suddenly lose his balance, ma Ike
q desperate effort to regain it, and then
fall whirling to the earth. He was
picked up 80 terribly injured that there
is no prospect of saving mis- life.
In the meantime the balloon and its
two remaining occupa It's, both of whom
were utterly ignorant of the manner i'll
which balloon is handled, mounted up
higher and higher into the air, growing
to the sight smaller and smaller, until it
was finally lost sight of entirely among
the clouds. The government officials
have telegraphed to the projects in the
outlying departments to make all the
inquiries possible in regard to the fate
of the two occupants of the balloon, but
nothing has been heard of their where
abouts. 1t is feared that the balloon will
ascend to height that will cause its un-
fortunate occupants to be frozen to death,
and that the balloon will soon after col
lapse, and its remains, together with the
bodies of the two unfortunates, may
find final resting place in the ocean.

found frames of valises, piles of clothing
and other articles, probably booty, taken

A CLOSE CALL.
Narrow Escape of Passenger Train OF

Narrow Escape of a Passenger Train on
the Huntington Road.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, June 19.-Wednes-
day morning cloudburst, a passenger
train loaded down with human freight
barely safe, and a portion of a freight
train in a creek are what was pictured
to the eyes of the people of Corning, on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railway, about 100 miles east of this
city, and not great ways from Corning,
is Plum creek. At daybreak this little
stream of water showed no signs of 60
ing out of its banks. About 5
O'Clock a dark, threatening cloud moved
upon that section from the west. The
cloud very low, seemed to be descending
as it Travelled, and when it reached the
outskirts of the valley it appeared to
drop to the ground.
A short time after the strange phenom-
enon, Burlington passenger train No. 9
came along bearing an unusually large
number of travellers. The train took or
ders at Corning station. and proceeded
on the journey to this city. A mile west
of Corning it crossed the bridge that
spanned Plum creek. Seven minures
later freight train followed
The freight train was under good
headway when it neared the bridge and
Engineer Powers, with characteristic
caution, looked ahead at the structure.
To his horror he saw that an attempt to
cross the bridge meant death. He had
but moment to act. but he was equal
to the emergency. Grasping the throt
tie he reversed the engine and called for
brakes. A shudder crept along the en-
tire train as the elements of locomotion
conficted. The train slackened speed
materially, but Engineer Powers did
not succeed in preventing q partial
wreck, and he was forced to jump for
life. In the twinkling of an eye he had
made the leap, just as the big locomo-
tive and three cars fell with terrible
crash into the chasm. The rest of the
train held the track.
The creek, which only few moments
before was but a minor stream was
swollen, and had carried away the
bridge soon after the passenger train
crossed. Engineer Powers, in jumping,
landed in twelve feet of water, and after
thrilling struggle escaped, being car
ried away by the current.
