AT THE TEA MEETING.
Mrs. Buffers address to the Foreign Mis-
sionary Society.

l
| The annual atea meeting of the Wo-
mans Foreign Missionary Society con-
nected with the Chestnut street church
was held in the vestry yesterday after
noen and evening. At half after three
the usual business Of the regular month
ly meetings was dispatched, reports be-
ing read by the secretary, Mrs. Matt
Hughes, and the treasurer, Mrs. Turner,
and the mite boxes, the contents of
which are to be devoted to missionary
work were opened. This was followed
by the tea to which the gentlemen as
well as the lady members of the parish
were invited.
The evening meeting was opened at s
o'clock by the president, Mrs. Charles
Baker. There was singing by quintette
OF ladies, reading of the Scripture by the
rector's wife, Mrs. Hughes; prayer by
Mrs. Luce, followed by the most in
teresting feature of the evening, the ad-
dress by Mrs. DIR. Butler of Newton Cen
ter, Mass, whose husband is the
founder of the Methodist Mission in
South America and India and is the au-
thor OF that popular work, ITO Bareilly
and Back" The subject of Mrs. But
ler's lecture was sThe Progress of Wo-
mans Missionary Work in the North
west Province in India" Her personal
experiences and "reminiscences added
much to the interest of the talk. She
opened with the quotation from the
Scripture, go We into all the world and
preach the gospel Twenty-three years
ago the Womans Mission was in it's in
fancy boasting of but seven members.
Since then two million and a half of dol
lars have been contributed to the cause
and in one single district in India under
its fundamentally sixteen thousand
heather women have been converted to
the Christian faith. To illustrate the
progress of the work in India, Mrs. But
Ter referred to her first visit to Lucknow
twenty-five years ago, when it was neces-
sary to be accompanied by an armed
guard through. the streets of that city so
great was the hostility exhibited by the
natives towards Christians, while, in con-
trast, on August 18th of this year a pro-
cession of one hundred Hindoo girls,
lead by Bishop Theoburn, marched
through the principal thoroughfares on
their way to lay the cornerstone of the
mission college to be erected, and de-
voted to the education of the Indian
woman.
Mrs. Butler concluded by an appeal to
every Christian woman to lay aside at
least cent day for this object in order
that their yearly contribution might
amount to four millions Of dollars. At
the close of the lecture a number of
idols and curiosities were exhibited
which were of great interest in connec-
ton with the work.
Mrs. Butler is to be the guest of Mrs.
J. B. Donnell, 1871 Cumberland street,
who will tender her a reception this
morning from 8 to II.

Suffering Children

Our girl was beautiful baby, fair and plump
and healthy. But when she was two years
old, sores broke out behind her ears and
spread rapidly over her head and forehead
down to her eyes, and into her neck. We
consulted one of the bestphysicians in Brook
fyn, but nothing did her any good. The doc
tors said it was caused by a scrofula humor
in the blood. Her head became

Ward Three.

In Ward Three there was little CO.
quoting in regard to the craftsmanship.
The caucus nominated Charles Fl. Chase.
Captain Charles Fl. Chase insisted that
Charles Henry Chase was meant and
Charles Henry Chase was equally sure
that Captain Charles II. Chase was the
man. The caucus seated Captain Charles
H. Chase. Then gentleman nomi
mated John D. Williams for secretary in
clear voice, but the chairman was deaf
to the name and accepted that of T. F.
McGillicuddy. Mr.. Feeny thought if no
objection was made that last years tick
ct was good one to nominate and SO
with great care that there shouldn't be
any hurry about the matter, the old tick
ct was renominated with a few excep-s
tions. Frank E.. Chase was nominated
for warden as the former nominee had
moved into Ward Four. Mr.. Ariel C.
Pitman was nominated in place of Mr..
Pickett for second constable, one of the
participants in the caucus stating he
didn't think Mr.. Pickett was very 'ssound
on the Democratic goose" In making
the nominations for delegates to select
a candidate for mayor the chairman adj
vised the caucus Esto go slow and not
hurry" When the business was through
Mr.. John D. Williams announced that he
was good solid Democrat and a Cleve-
land Democrat at that, which elected
great applause. These were the nomina-
tons:
Alderman--George Tolman.
Councilmen- Frank Fl. Yerrill, VIM. N. Howe,
Willard L. Hicks.
Warden-Frank E. Chase.
Clerk-C. Z. Collins.
Constables-Hugh Lappin, Ariel G. Pitman.
School Committee DIR. Timothy D. Sullivan.

Samuel Rosenburg, John d. Williams, ?. j.

The ward room was mass of human
ity when the hour for calling the caucus
arrived. Handsome Joe Gilliatt got UP
on chair and read the call and Daniel
r. Dresser was made chairman and
Charles P. Merrill, clerk The chairman
called for nominations for alderman and
Edward G.. SWEET managed to make him
self heard long enough to move the
nomination of j. L. Bracket by acclama-
ton, which was carried. The same
honor was extended Councilman o.
Brien. When it came to second council
man a mighty shout went up from hum
dreds of threats. From the jumbled
mass the chairman unravelled the
name of Francis d. Melaugh
and asked if the caucus

A Curious Cave.

The cave temple, of Karli, India,
Is, rightly considered one Of the
greatest wonders Of the world. This
gigantic recess in the mountain
ledge has been chiSeled by human
hands from porphyry as hard as the
hardest flint. The cave is 124 feet
long. 45 feet broad, and 46 feet from
floor to ceiling. Before the entrance
to the temple stands monster stone
elephant, upon whose back is seated
colossal goddess, all hewed from
one solid block of stone. Like the
temple walls and the outside orna-
ments, every article of adjoining
sculpture on the inside is hewed
from the native rock. =
There are aisles on each side
separated from the nave by octag-
onal pillars of stone. The capital
of each pillar is crowned with two
kneeling elephants, on whose backs
are seated two figures, representing
the divinities, to, whom the temple
is dedicated. These figures are per-
feet, and of beautiful features, as,
indeed, are all the representations of
deities and divinities in this peculiar
temple.
The responsiveness so characteristic
of modern Hindoo and Chinese
pagodas is here wholly wanting.
Each figure is true to life, or rather
to art, there being no mythical half
horse, half man, or beast birds de-
picted in this underground wonder
of Karli. This wondrous under
ground pagoda or cave temple has
been standing puzzle, for the
learned archeolaglsts of both. Eu-
rope and Asia for the last twenty
five hundred years, and is as much
of ain enigma to-day as it was in the
time of COnfuciue
