The leaders and stewards meeting
OF the Cookman M. L. Church will be
held this evening and the last quar-
terly meeting OF the year will be held
tomorrow night, when presiding
elder Murray will preach proceeding
the business Of the quarterly session.
The session will be an intesesting one,
as preliminary arrangements will no
doubt be maae, looking TO the pur-
chase OF a lot on which to erect q
church.
There is probably no congregation
in the city that needs new church
like this one does. The society now
has over 40 members and a Sunday
school of 100 members. As high as
40 have been present at one session.
The only building which they have to
call church Is furniture store, for
which they pay Sl5 per month rent.
The place Is so contracted that the
congregation overliows II at preach
ing services, and the Sunday school
has not sufficient room on Sunday af-
ternoons. II the congregation had a
new large church it would soon be one
of the largest congregations In the
city.
An appeal will soon be made to
liberal minded open handed people OF
the city to aid in erecting a church In
this quarter of the city, and there car
remain no doubt that when the people
il. see the great need of church here
they will respond literally. The pas
tor, Rcv. w. 4. White has done a grand
| work and there is unanimous sentl
ment in favor Of his return.

woodwork in front of the engine were
completely shattered. Two men in
the smoking car of the Wilmington

the accident was due TO the signal
man. The place where the collision
occurred was just south of a sharp
curve. The men say they could not
see the train, and the signal showed
white until they were opposite the
signal station, when it was changed TO
red. The trains were then so near to

Mother Katherine has a constant
stream OF visitors, who come from
every motive possible. None OF them,
however, can see her, as 1t Is rule of
the Order of Mercy that no one can re-

Superior. IL was thought that, after
taking the black veil, Mother Katherine
would make public a statement OF her
intentions, but this she has decided not
to do. Mother Mary Sebastian, OF the
Mercy Convent, speaking for Miss

ground for such a statement, or was
the correspondent an applicant for the
