A GOSPEL WAGON.

Summer visitors to Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont this year will have
their spiritual welfare cared for by an
itinerary gospel wagon. They will also
be supplied with tracts and bibles.
A company of 100 Christians of Bos-
ton, who conduct weekly meetinas on
the Common, conceived the idea of a
travelling gospel wagon. The vehicle
looks like large ambulance, as it is en-
tirely of wood, cover and body alike. A
partition extends across the front, with
small door in the centre fitted with a
plate glass window, and there are similar
windows in the partition on either side
of the door, which light the interior of
the wagon.
This wagon will leave Boston about
August 1, and start directly for Yer
mont. John Martin and an assistant
will go along to conduct the gospel meet
ings which will be held daily in the
streets of the towns they pass through.

RALLY TO THE G. A. r

The New York Press proposes to send
to the Worlds Fair as its guests, fifty
Union veterans, members of the regular
Grand Army posts, who are to be Sc
lected by the readers of the Sunday
Press. This proposition is made as an
evidence of the esteem and gratitude in
which the Press holds the men who i'm
periled their own lives to save this ma
ton. Each of the chosen veterans will
be the guest of the Press from the mo-
ment the train leaves New York until its
return, and the journey will be timed to
include full weeks sojourn in Chica-
go, with all expenses paid, including
daily entrance to the grounds of the Ex-
position. All G.. A. r. veterans in good
standing are eligible. They may come
from any town, city, State or territory
over which the Stars and Stripes pro-
claim It's government. The selection of
the fifty favorites will be made on the
ground of popularity, their popularity to
be voted by ballots printed in every issue
of the Sunday Press.

WOMAN,S ELEVATION.

At a reunion of the pupils of the Troy
female seminary in Chicago Mrs. Sage in
her address of welcome said:
Our meeting to-day is under the grand
est circumstances the world has ever
known. And why are we here? To find
in these advanced conditions that which
our beloved Mrs. Emma Willard saw
'afar Off in the acknowledgements and
elevation of woman. l leave to other
and ADLER hands the portraiture of her
life and work to give you brief sun
mary of our existence as an association.
A little more than 20 years ago lin
1870 Mrs. Emma Willard laid aside her
mortal part to enter into Immortality
Loving hearts desired to perpetuate a
blessed memory, planned a monument,
raised 81 900 toward it, and then, find
ing that the immediate family or Mrs.
Willard was already perfecting the same
plan, the scheme was abandoned. Re-
turning the thousand dollars to the
donors, the matter rested, but not the
thought, for soon we find statue pro-
jected, plan for new blu Hiding on the
site of the Troy Female Seminary.
Here, too, was conceiveda desire to
find place for Mrs. Emma Willard in
this grand Worlds fair. Simultaneous
ly movement was made to organize,
and these several projects solidilied in
this Emma Willard Association of the
Troy Female Seminary" with mem
bership approaching between 700 and
800, many of whom welcome to day in
bodily presence, and all are with us in
spirit. God has breathed into this asso-
citation His own spirit in giving it a
place and purpose such as Mrs. Emma
! Willard would have rejoiced to see in her
| day, for besides honoring and perpetual
| ing her memory the statue has recei we'd
material aid. A scholarship in Middle
bury, where Mrs. Willard commenced
her work in higher education for women
is nearly assured fact while on the
site where she labOred so long and
faithfully rise three buildings that shall
again revive and perpetuate the Troy Fe-
I male Seminary and Mrs. Emma Willard,
its founder. With this beautiful culmi-
nation, under these benefcent skies, and
amid these magnificent surroundings, in
this most wonderful of Worlds fairs, !
greet you and pray that He who turns
life's sands will hold this work of your
ASSOCIATION in His 10, ing embrace, add
ing enthusiasm to members, and to all a
| loving, true, earnest purpose, that shall
| Dlllu us w HlBuOI WOlh III JlllS ICIu IOl
| the Master, and the continued elevation
and progress of women, and with all
loving one another with ''pure heart
fervently."
Mrs. Mary Newbury Adams, in speak
ing of the influence of Mrs. Willard on
American history said:
1t has always betn woman's work to
keep alive the memory of the brave, and
thus it was fitting that the ladies present
combine to perpetuate the greatness OF
their beloved heroine. Beginning with
the early days of the Republic, her work
ran parallel with the development of her
countiy's freedom, and the records show
without a shadow that young Emma
Hart-who became Emma Willard-was
the first teacher to have boys and girls
studying side by side and in equal text
books. She was the first to establish a
Normal school.

ENDOWMENT ORDER sWINDLEs

The people of Vermont do not yet fully
realize what they were saved by the ac-
ton of the insurance commissioners in
prohibiting the operations of the various
kinds of endowment orders in this State.
The annual report of Insurance Commits
sioner Smith of Maine, shows that in
about two years the few companies that
had secured foothOld in that State
managed to mulch cool 100000 from
the working classes of the Pine State,
and that commonwealth was remarkably
free from these financial leeches as com.
pared with some New England States
Massachusetts, has undoubtedly been
more severely afflicted than any other
State by the presence of these endow-
ment orders, but after trembling a long
time the Legislature of the Bay State
took measures to put stop to their OPP
erations. The Maine Legislature has
shown more energy than was exhibited
in the Bay state and has promptly passed
a law which stops the legality of further
frauds of this description upon the peo-

A Woman Fatally Burned and Others

house at 10 Rutgers place. The fire start
ed in the room Of Malka Galborovtz. forty
years old. in the rear of Morris Ritt's cigar
factory on the first moor. 1t was probably
caused by the explosion or the upsetting o:
an oil stove
The woman's clothes caught fire and she
ran screaming into Ritt's cigar factory,
where six men were at work. They tried
to extinguish the fire, and RIFT had his
hands badly burned in the effort. The
woman broke away and ran into the street
with her clothing ablaze. She was badly
burned all over the body ami inhaled the
names. In the street crowd OF mel sot
around her and tore off her .lothes. She
was sent to Gouverneur Hospital. where It
was said she will die.
The woman running into the street with
her clothes on fire alarmed tbe tenants in
the building, eleven families in all, and
they made a dash for the street down the
stairs and the fire escape in The rear. All
got out without much trouble except a.
Greenbaum, seventy-fve years old. who
lived on the second floor. He Is very feeble
and the stairs below him were on fire be

got to an open window in .ro0t and pte
