THE HovA QUEENS CHURCH.
Dedicated in the Town Where
Christians Were Formerly Mas
SacPed

About three months ago the church
designed for the use of the queen and
court of Madagascar was completed in
the capital city. A French periodical
gives picture of the scene at the dedi-
cation, where many thousands of the
native Christians assembled in honor of
the completion of this sacred edifice,
which is one of the finest buildings
ever reared in Madagascar.
The present queen was the daughter
of one of the most cruel and blood
thirsty rulers who ever lived. Her
mother. Queen Ranavalona l., long oc-
cupied the throne Of Madagascar. and
who had embraced Christianity. She
ordered all copies OF the Bible and re-
ligious books that had been printed dur
ing the reign OF her husband to be de-
stroyed. Missionaries were driven from
the island, and for many years the
native church was entirely without any
guidance or aid from foreign lands.
Madagascar furnishes more signal
illustration OF the growth Of Christianity
under the most cruel prosecutions than
has been seen elsewhere in modern
times. The strong hold which the
teachings of the English missionaries
had taken upon the people can be ac-
counted for by no philosophy. Although
the people were slaughtered by hun
dreds, they still held religious meetings
on the tops of mountains and in the
depths of forests, and even during the
darkest days Of the prosecutions, relig-
ious meetings were held within q short
distance of the queens palace in the
houses of the converts. Many Bibles
were hidden so that the soldiers could
not destroy them. The prosecutions
lasted from 1885 to 1860.
tits remarkable that while this heather
queen was noted for every atrocity, her
son and daughter were amiable. tender
hearted. and strongly in sympathy with
the Christians. The mother is called
the BLOODY Nary of Madagascar.
When she assembled the throne she took
two of the national idols in her hands,
and, holding them aloft in view of her
people, said: From my ancestors re-
ceived you. III you put my trust, there
fore support me-" During her long

Stepniak's Lecture.

Surgius Stepniak, the Russian exile,
who lectured at the Lyceum last even
ing, was greeted by meager audience.
His lectured was married greatly by the
very broken English in which it was de-
livered. He gave vivid description of
the horrors of the Siberian pris-
ons which caused so much crlti-
cism of the Russian govern
ment. He dwelt especially on tue
new departure of the government that
of exiting prisoners to the Arctic zone,
a more horrible punishment than had
ever been inflicted until the last few
years. The point upon which Stepniak
laid particular stress was the infictlon of
these severe penalties, not after trial
and conviction, but upon bare suspicion
There was not much IN the lecture, how
ever, that has not been presented to
the American public before in lectures
and magazine articles.

LONDON, Feb, 20.-A constable last
night discovered woman standing on
the Thames embankment in dangerous
proximity to the brink. When the Off
GER approached her he observed that
she was weeping bitterly, and making
snch motions as indicated her intention
to commit suicide by drowning. Before
she could carry out her supposed pur-
pose the constable placed her under ar
rest and conducted her to the Bow street
police station. Here it was ascertained
that the supposed would-be suicide was
Lady Lyang Campbell. Shortly after
her arrest Lady Lyang Campbell's
husband made his appearance, and after
he had furnished surety for the future
good conduct and safeket ping of his
wife, the lady was permitted to depart
with him for home.
