Fifth avenue as i'll the one afA oniy room of a squalid east side family
 But it is in the public meeting enas her real power shows itself And' aleeI all the triumphs of the public meeeins arc the real substantial triumphs or the salvation movement. There Mrs Bal- lington Booth is peerless. AS an oratoi she ranks with less than haf a dozen Americans of both sexes. As soon as sne stands forth to speak she takes hoio o' her audiences. She seizes them as lnol viduals She is i'll touch with each one, and they become hers to be swayed as she wills. For the time none can escape her spell.
 Any one who has seen a great SaIVa- tion meeting in Carnegie hall will as= sant to this. At those meetings all class es are represented-the educated, those who can neither read nor write, the rich. the poor, the infdel and the fanat- ie They are all one to her. She holds all and fascinates all Her voice IS clear and low and persuasive and very sweet. Her face is beautiful and is illuminated by the radiance of pair of wonderful eyes. Her gestures are grace itself and most expressive Her words are simple and free from exaggeration and full of fire and meaning. They flow in pure, steady stream, never too swift.
 Mrs. Ballington Booth IS an orator She has been the life and soul of the Ar my in this country. She has won the souls of the poor and has unfastened the nocketboolxs of the rich. Her personal | ity has permeated the army in all parts of the country. It is no wonder that the { Booths trembled for the supremacy of the Booth family with such personal 1 ity as this in absolute control of the American branch and ruling not by force, but by persuasion.
 Not the least important contrast be- tween the two women is the matter of physical beauty. Mrs. Booth-Tucker has a stern, commanding face. She has ab- solutely no physical beauty. The hard, ] unbecoming costume of the Salvation Army brings out the power in her face, but banishes any suggestion of softness or feminine charm that might show ln a less severe setting.
 Mrs. Ballington Booth, on the con- rary, has face of great beauty. She is no longer very young woman, but her face has all the softness and youth ful feminine appeal that characterized 1t when she first appeared ill America. It is an ideal woman's faee-round and smooth and gentle; a low brow, with hair growing beautifully about 1t; a sweet, gracefully curved mouth that in smiling discloses eyen white teeth large, clear eyes, full of earnestness and sympathetic intensity.
 And her expression is serene and pure and elevating. A Christian would say that it was face like prayer.
 These are the two women who will contest for the control of the religion; movement in America among thosf whom the churches do not reach.
 The first move will be for the posses. sion of Ballington Booth. He is not . stl;nng character in way. He is moved by his emotions entirely, and the appeal of his sister for his father and his sisters and brothers will not leave him unaf feeted. But on the other side is the oth CT woman appealing as wife and moth CT, appealing for herself and for hel children. Sister against wife is an un evensbattle in any case. When the wife is an orator, alive to the finger tips witt personal magnetism, what chance hai the sister?
 So the probabilities are that the grand battle will begin at once, and a mighty interesting battle it will be.-New Yorl World.
