Katherine Prindiville. Her marriage,
which has just taken place in London,

Edwin Harris, a dentist established in Lon
don

families of Maryland, and is the son of DR..
J. II. Harris, president of the university of
that state. Mrs. Prindiville is regarded as
an excellent art critic She has held posi-
tons on the Chicago Herald, Times, Satur-
day Evening Herald, and Tribune. Her
womanliness and reliability combined to
win for her universal respect and to make
her Of value as a writer. She also has
acted as a foreign correspondent with credit
10 herself She has been a leader in dress
reform for women. but is opposed to sacri-
ficinE any OF the aoornments which are es-
sentially feminine.
Mrs. Prindiville has been widow sew
eral years, her immediate family consisting
Of an only daughter She is very hand
some, possessing a delicate type OF beauty.
She is on the sunny side of thirty, and her
crown of prematurely white hair, com
bined with a fair and youthful face, con-
veys a peculiarly contradictory and time
defying impression.
She was educated in Detroit, and rs Miss
RYAN was one Of the bellies of that city I'M
til she became the wife of John Prindiville,
Jr., OF Chicago. She is also popular in the
literary and professional circles of London.

New zealand's Frozen Meat Trade.

According to recent statistics there has
been an enormous development of the frozen
meat trade between New Zealand and Eng
land. In 1882 the mum Der of frozen sheep ex-
ported to England was only $3.50. In 1890
the number had risen to 1,562,647 Curl
ously enough. the frozen meat trade in
Australia has not expanded in anything
like the same degree as in New Zealand,
but a Sydney journal anticipates that
what with the steady reduction in the
cost of freezing and freights, the spread Of
the taste for frozen mutton at home, and
the inevitable increase of our focks and
herds, we have good reason 20 see in the
food requirements of England and Europe
an almost untouched and inexhaustible
mine of wealth for Australia"

THE BEECHER STATUE.
A Splendid Memorial OF the Great
Preacher just Unveiled.

PREACHER just OnNeIiSd'
The statue of Henry Ward Beecher, re-
Gently unveiled with elaborate ceremonies,
and standing in the little park at Brook
lyn city hall, eXcites the enthusiastic adj
miration of all who knew the great orator.
Mr.. John Quincy Adams Ward, the de-
signer, considers this as one of the works
which he expects to carry his name and
fame to posterity, and the work itself con-
veys the impression that its construction
was labor of love--the result not only Of
long familiarity with and artistic study Of
the subject, but of loving devotion to the
idea as we'll as the art of reproducing the
great man.
The statue is of bronze, heroic size, and
stands firmly on simple pedestal of dark
Quincy granite, highly polished. This
pedestal is fianked by bronze figures, on
the left by negro girl-a field hand
standing in graceful attitude and placing
palm branch at the feet OF the great abo-
litionist, and on the right by two children
"a boy and a girl of the humber condi-
ton of life-the boy kneeling and partly
supporting the girl, who reaches to place a
laurel wreath on the top of the pedestal.
The figure represents Mr.. Beecher as in
the act of making an open air speech 10 a
popular gathering His felt hat is crushed
In his left hand, his right hangs by his side;
his coat and overcoat are so arranged as to
gain the advantage of drapery, and his at
titude is that OF one pausing for an instant

question for the future. 1t was born "by

Nine years later be declared the town his

stopped short OF one thing. He dared not
deprive Moscow of the right of the corona

centuries before, the masters of the Mus

ceived the crown and scepter from holy
hands in Moscow's venerable and gorgeous
Cathedral of the Assumption.

The John Wesley memorial day was
duly observed last Sabbath. Rev. y. F.
Brant preached a sermon in the morning
on "John Wesley and His Place in His
tory" speaking of him as scholar, preach
er, organizer, and founder of church
and possessed Of genius nothing less
than apostollc-and that Methodlsts them
selves could say nothing better, or greater,
than the scholars aud historians Of blher
communions, century after his death,
have been glad to say of him, thus reveal
ing the justice of history ana the catholic
spirit Of our common faith. Prof. Huxley
was quoted as saying, "As we view him
now, he stands among his associates as
Washington among his generals and Ma
poleon among his marshals-the admitted
chief And Maccauley as saying, "He was
man whose genius was not inferior to
Richelieu." Buckle: "He was the first Of
theological statesmen" Gladstone: "He
gave the main impulse out of which
sprang the evangelical movement" Dean
Stanley "He was the chief reviver of re-
ligious tervor in all Professionalism"
In the evening platform service was
held wherein the lsity took the principal
part. Niles Pearl Linder read a very well
prepared paper on the life of John Wesley.
Miss Myrna Williams recited with grace
and animation poem on the death Of
John Wesley. Prof. Kinnlson gave an ex-
celent talk of ten minutes on the inhu-
ence of the Wesleyan movement on our
national government. Mrs. W. r. Santley
read chaste and timely paper on the
"Lile of Susanna Wesley, the mother Of
John Wesley" closing with beautiful
original poem on Susanna Wesley. The
following members Of the Epworth
League read selections from the estimates
of leading men on John Wesley: Herbert
