responded to the encore. A violin
solo by Prof Geo. Gieskie was excep-
tionally good and highly appreciated
by the people. He responded to an
encore giving Annie Laurie. To the

son Is due the success Of the enter
tainment. The Columbian Club clared

the massacre, and the women were wait
ing for the same awful death, waiting
amid anguish untold, waiting in pain
and starvation, but waiting heroically,
when one day Havelock and Outram and
Norman and Sir David Baird and Peel,
the heroes of the English army-huzza
for them!-broke in on that horrid scene,
and while yet the guns were sounding,
and while cheers were issuing from the
starving, dying people on the ono side
and from the travel worn and powder
blackened soldiers on the other, right
there in front of the kings palace there
was such scene Of handshaking and
embracing and boisterous joy as would
utterly confound the pen of the poet and
the pencil of the painter.
And no wonder, when these emaciated
women, who had suffered so heroically
for Christ's sake, marched out from their
incarcerations one wounded English SOL
der got up in his fatigue and wounds
and leaned against the wall and threw
his cap up and shouted, "Three cheers,
my boys, for the brave womenp
Oh, that was Ill exciting scenel But
gladder and moro triumphant scene will
it be when you come up into heaven from
the conflicts and incarcerations of this
world, streaming with the wounds Of
battle and wan with hunger. And while
the hosts of God are cheering their great
hosanna you will strike hands Of con-
Ill
the presence of the throne. On that
night there will be bonGres on every hill
of heaven, and there will be illumination
in every palace, and there will be q can
die in every window. All, no; I forget,
forget. They will have no need of tho
candle or of the sun, for the Lord God
giveth them light, and they shall reign
forever and ever. Hail, hail, sons and
daughters of tho Lord God Almighty!

Women In the Pulpit.

There seems to be no objection what
ever to woman taking control Of Sunday
schools, benevolent institutions, church
fairs, festivals and all other means of
caring for the flocks and filing the eccle-
siastical exchequer, but when 1t comes
to women in the pulpit there is trouble
at once. This is only another OF tho rel
les of barbarism.
In old times if the church could get
control of the women and little children
they felt pretty sure Of their ability to
manage the rest of the human family.
Half century ago woman doctor
was scarcely recognized IN reputable cir
cles, and woman lecturer was mon
strosity. Contrasting that date with tho
present and taking note of the change
In sentiment from one decade to another,
it is scarcely too much to expect that by
another 50 years we shall see most
wonderful revolution in matters of this
sort. tits safe to predict that before the
end of the first decade of the next CEN
fury the woman preacher will be no
more of novelty than the woman doc
tor now is. Woman is specially fitted
for such work, and even were she not so
it would be only the strictest kind OF
justice to give her some of the honor as
we'll as most of the hard work Of the
church. When onceit dawns fully upon
the minds Of the people of this genera
ton that there is no sex in intellect or
moral achievement, the first and most
difficult part of this knotty problem will
have been solved.
BY all means open tho pulpit doors to
women as well as those of the Sunday
school room, the hospital and the execu-
tive committee.-NewY York Ledger.

slew them. Then the bodies of the
slain were taken out and thrown into o

Cawnpore they went into the room, and,
oh, what horrid scene! Sword strokes
on the wall near the floor, showing that
the poor things had crouched when they
died, and they saw also that the floor
was ankle deep In blood. The soldiers
walked on their heels across it lest their
shoes be submerged OF the carnage.

Zimmerman Wins q Mile Race and Az
terward Painfully Injured.

DUBLIN, June s--A. A. Zimmerman,
the American champion bicyclist, in a
mile invitation scratch race yesterday par
ticipated in by bicyclsts of the various
parts of ireland, won easily by two wheel
lengths in 2m. AZ 2-5s.
Later in the day there was a race for the
25-mile championship. OF the 20 wheel
men who started three fell in the first yard
of the hrst lap. Zimmerman, at an early
stage Of the race, came In violent collision
with another contestant and was thrown
with great violence against the railing
which encloscs the track. Three Of his
teeth were crushed out, and he was other
wise injured to such an extent that he was
compelled to retire from the race. His in
juries, although necessarily painful, are
not serious.
