1 doubt not that she who wrote this question in inspired verse, saw down the years with vision clear-saw Willard Hall and thousands of people coming and go- ing, heard sighs and sobs and sins con- fessed, and saw It's altar wet with tears.
 Yesterday watched a sea gulls flight, now outward, now downward, now up- ward. There was plan, dash, cunning in every stroke of his wing. For a moment he was hidden beneath the wave, but when he rose he bore in his beak poor luckless member of the f1nny tribe, and then his course was shoreward. Imagi- nation ran ahead and saw mute struggle and red stain upon the sand.
 Down the river were many colored buoys bobbing and tossing about, while solemn bells kept saying, danger, danger, danger! And ever the bells sound, and ever the waves toss, and ever the danger turks.
 A warning signal rang sharp and clear and instantly purser, steward, passengers

have something of definite helpfulnass

The regular meeting of the W. C. T..
L. was held in the vestry Of the Second
Parish church yesterday afternoon, the
special topic of discussion being elbow
to Secure better protection from the girls
of the city and state
The principal address was made by Mrs.
L. M. N. Stevens. She said that when
this work began in England the legal
age OF protection for girls was thirteen,
but after the dreadful revelations of W.
I. Stead, the British Parliament raised
it to sixteen. although Mr.. Gladstone and
others advocated eighteen. When the W.
G. L. u, took up the work in this ma
ton we found conditions and laws as
had and in some cases worse than in
England. Great gains have been made in
every State and it is suggestive fact
that the two States where women have
the ballot were the first to take decisive,
long strides in the right direction. In
Maine while some advanced steps had
been secured, We still have laws which
are shame to its manhood, an outrage
girlhood. Mr.. Stevens then spoke OF
the bill now pending in the U. S. Con
gress, and of the various plans which are
being carried out towards securing for
girls as much protection for person as
for property.
then Christian women might excuse
themselves from taking an interest in
the present condition of affairs in our
very midst. Mrs. Stevens gave due credit
to the Industrial School and Temporary
Home with their preventive and benefi-
Gent methods. but said there were num-
berless cases which did not come within
the province of either of these Institu-
tions.
She then called attention to the resolu-
utions which was adopted at the Balti-
more convention in November. That the
country.are daily victims and to which
even little girls are subject, are the
shame of our boosted civilization and
that we hereby solemnly resolve to use
the utmost power that we possess as an
organization to build up such a public
sentiment and to secure the enactment
of such laws as shall protect the most
peaceful and law abiding classes of the
nation, and these are women and chill
dren." The sentiment of this resolution
was heartily Endorsed bv those present at
the meeting.
The following is one of Mrs. Stevens's
stories to illustrate the evils of the Tenn
porary Home. Something less than fif-
teen years ago. there was a noted case in
Portland OF girl nine years old who I'M
derstood every form of vice. 1t required
two or three years to get her into the
Temporary Home, and there she was
very intractable. The matrons found
great difficulty in teaching her decent
customs. Among other things she would
refuse to lie in her bed, because she never
had had a bed. They would repeatedly
find hor lying on the floor. Today that
girl is in the Normal school and is being
fitted to be one of the teachers in this
state.

BANKERS PROTEST
Against the Increased Assessment
Levied by Assessor Siebe.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3-Assessor
Siebe has already received several
striking limitations of what the re-
suits of his new methods of increasing
the tax roll may be if he persists in
them.
One of the most startling warnings
was given him by the representatives

1t was simply notification that if
he persisted in his course and was able
to sustain himself in the courts the
bank would find it necessary to prac-
ideally close its establishment here and
transfer the greater part of the bust
ness now done in this city to New
York.
In this city merely a small agency
would thereafter be maintained
One of the immediate results Of the
change would be to throw several hum
dred people out of employment, while
the further effects can only be con-
jectured, but that they would be serious
goes without saying.
