For many years the members Of the
Central Congregational Church have felt
the need Of improved and enlarged facili-
ties In their church building, and the ne
cessity OF more central location.
Prompted by their requirements a site
was selected on Angel street and Diman
place, where 1t was decided to erect the
new church and chapel.
The work has so far progressed that tho
chapel Is now completed and will be occu-
pied for the first time next Sunday after
noon.
The usual midweek service of the church
II held on Thurday evenings and as this
was to be the last in the present vestry, it
was decided TO make ii commemorative
one. The rooms were nearly filled with
the members of the church and conRrega-
tion, and many familiar faces who have
not been seen there for many years but
were prominent in the early history of the
society were noticed among the audience.
The opening devotional services was led
by the pastor, Rev. Z. c. Moore, followed
by paper by Deacon NJ. Il. Torrey giving
. statistical, historical aud biographical
review OF the early events OF the church
and "reminiscences of the members. Many
references were made to the character OF
the men and women who organized
the society, of their strong faith,
deep piety and thorough consecra-
ton, thus they were eminently n
thinking and working people, and as
Thomas c. Greene in his paper relates
that when the doors of the church ediiice
were thrown open IL was fully equipped
organization. There was "A minister In
the pulpit of remarkable power aud rare
ability, supported by staff OF officers
trained ana ready for all kinds of church
work. 1t was a leading church from the
beginning and under the guidance of the
Divine Spirit. has accomplished great re-
suits
The speaker then spoke of some of the
early members. John kingsbury. William
j. King, William j. Cross. William q.
Weeden, Prof. Dunn. George l.. Clafiin
DR.. Joshua Chaplin and others. Several
OF the original members then spoke
briefly, among them A. q. Fisher, Stearns
Hutchns, Joseph Kendrick and Samuel
Allen.
Mr.. Moore, I'm closing, said that IL the
past. which had just been reviewed, was
all, then they might just as well have
remained where tn y were, but as an old
church I'm a new location will be i'm
menscly more powerful than new
church coull be, so it will be true OF tnis
ehurch Ia its new home, as it was at It's
qrst organization, and hat IL will begin
its work fully equipped.
The closing prayer was offered by
Deacon Thomas B. Stockwell.

THE UNION CLUB RECEPTION.
There Were Over 1000 People On
Hand TO See the New Club.

The opening of the Union Club last
night was ono of the most enjoyable
events of the season to. those Of the citi-
zens Of Providence who were SO fortunate
as to be favored with tickets Of admission.
Since the NEWS first informed the people
that the club had taken the lease Of the
Perry Davis mansion, on High street. the
club has been very busy getting the grand
old.mansion ready for occupancy. pas
ser-by, not familiar with the interior of the
house would scarcely suppose that it
has one of the most splendid interiors Of
any of the old residences of Providence,
but very brief inspection will convince
him that such Is the case. The rooms are
large. high and airy and admirably suited
for club purposes. There are big parlors.
also large and airy; lunch rooms, bath
rooms, bed rooms-in fact everything
needed by a first class club. The rooms
were so admirably adapted to the pur-
poses OF the club that scarcely an altera-
tion was needed Some parts OF the ele-
are retained, but everything has been re-
fitted, and the interior of the house shines
like palace.
The reception began at o'clock in the
afternoon and President Wilson and other
officers and members of the club were on
manu- W ItCclNc tuclT Auc cCSiO'
tary sent out nearly / 100 tickets and from
the appearance OF the rooms during the
whole time of the reception there must
have been as many guests as that present.
Among those present were some OF the
most prominent people in Providence-in
in fact-it looked at times as though
everybody was there whose face Is well
known in the best social circles. A great
many ladies, both old aud young, graced
the occasion and they were particularly
delighted the elegance and comfort OF the
room. Gov. Ladd WAS there about .
o'clock and members of the General As
sembly and City Council called during
the evening.
Reeves orchestra was stationed in the
billiard room on the first floor and
rendered its usual, well-known quality of
fine music during the entire reception.
Refreshments were served in the lunch
room and everybody went through the
house from roof to basement. The Kitchen
and pantries interested the ladies and the
little pool room up near the roof with its
rows of windows on each side-A cosy
nook-interested the young fellows

everything is model and modern and mag

all around to-day and it has certainly ar

date in the line Of club comforts and ac-
commodations.

A FACE OF WAX.
The story of a Soldier Who Lost Part of
 His Head in Battle.

The Story of a Soldier Who Lost Part of
 His Head in Battle.
 A French medical journal tells of re- markable surgical operation performed upon a certain Joseph Moreau, a soldier in the army of the north, whose eyes, nose, teeth and lower jaw, and, indeed, whose whole face was shot away by a shell in the battle of Bapaume, Jan uary, 1871. Although he was left on the field for dead, he managed to stag ger to a neighbOring village, where he was cared for by the doctors. Later on one of the most distinguished surgeons of the day applied to the head, which was left almost without human sem blance, a wax mask so cleverly adapted to the healthy portion of the skin as to appear quite continuous with it. This mask, as the years have passed, has be- come firmly attached to the head, the skin having grown around the edges, and has permitted the unfortunate wearcr to appear less an object Of re- pulsion to his fellow men.
 Moreau has got quite used to breath ing through the false nostrils, and by the help of an artificial jaw, worked by a portion of the original bone, he is able to eat comfortably and masticate the toughest kind of food.
 His voice has regained its natural quality and the sense of smell has come back to him with even more than nat ural acuteness. Of coIirse he sees nothing through the false eyes which look out from his waxen features with a glassy stare, but it is long since he has acquired the peace of mind with which blind men are so often blessed, and in all the canton of Landridies, where he lives, there is not a happier man, or one more fond of telling or lis tening to a good story as he who is known as the ''Man with the Wax Face" He lives modestly on his pen sion and adds to his resources by the sale of a little pamphlet giving g scien- tific account of his wonderful cure.

PAST BELIEF.
Thought Queen Victoria Must Live in the
 Czar's Domains.

Thought Queen Victoria Must Live in the Czar's Domains.
 I always stayed at the house of one Starosta, very old man, whose wife was still active and lively at seventy years of age, says Herbert Barry in the book on Russia. She used to interest herself vastly in the conversation that passed between me and her husband.
 This man, a forester, was remarlza- ble character. By intelligent industry and perseverance he had raised himself from the station of a common serf to the management of woods greater in extent than many German principal ity.
 He had given his son liberal educa- tion, and was a man of inquiring dispo- sition, anxious to get information on all sorts of subjects. Our long discussions of things in general, and the worlds re- cent history in particular, were highly amusing, if little perplexing, to the old lady who sat and listened to them.
 One morning I was sitting before the stove. talking with the forester about the British constitution, and happened to mention our gracious queen. At that moment the old lady broke into the coversation.
 You will excuse me- she said, ''that do not speak English. 1 hear you al- ways talking about your Queen Victoria. Now, want to know what does she do for our emperor, because, of course, she lives at St. Petersburg?"
 ''At St. Petersburg?" I said. 'No, she lives in her own country-my coun- try-England."
 What part of Russia is England?"
 England is not in Russia at all It is another country by itself"
 But could not convince her of that. She had never heard of any other coun- try that was not Russia, and nothing would make her believe in its existence. She could not get over it for long time, and continually repeated to her husband: 'Only fancy the barrin try ing to tell me there is another country beside Russia.''
