amount Of real estate in the town of Pull

declares that the company has practically
usurped the powers of a municipality,

said: '"The Salvation girls have short

they know what is good for them, and

The mob made its first attack on the
Baptist mission. The Rev. Mr.. Bur

asked beforehand for police protection

and other signs at the door on the previ-

the terror of the missionaries and their
