BROADER ALICE LEWIS.
Tells of the Work of the Army in the
Siums.

Brigadier Alice Lewis fascinated large
audience in the chapel of the First Presby-
terrain Church with an interesting account
of her work in the Salvation Army This
meeting was under the direction of the
Young Womens Christian Association, Mrs.
F. F. McCrea presiding. Brigadier Lewis
has all the charming characteristics of Eng
lish women. Her face glows with enthu-
siasm rs she talks of the work. She has the
rosy complexion of her nation. and sur
prised her hearers when she said that she
had been in the work thirteen years; in that
time going into many countries. She looks
too youthful for such a. varied and long ex-
perience. In her girlhood her parents, who
We're musicians, gave her a careful training
Tor the operate stage. She met General
Booth, founder of the army, became inter
eSted in the work and finally decided to
renounce worldly ambitions and attach her
self to the great cause.
Miss Lewis told of the great efforts that
were made to bring peace and comfort to
the very lowest strata of society to thieves
and criminals of both sexes, who were re-
PEELED from even the poor surroundings of
the ordinary Salvation Army barra cks. To
reach this class the Salvation lassies go
into squalid tenements to live and gradually
inspire confidence in the lost ones who, after
witnessing the ministration of the 'slum
lassies" and ''slum angels as they are
known, consent to attend little meetings
in their rooms, where their '5es are opened
and hope for better things is .-4spired. Some
or the stories Miss Lewis told were very
startling. The 'slum angels" wearing the
uniform of the army, are brave and fearless,
go into low dives and foul resorts ready
to rescue the fallen Their influence she de-
scrlbed as most remarkable. 1t is a rare
thlng for harm or insults to befall enc

talk received indicated the greatest interest

part again gives rise to the question as to
whether Mr.. Powers's characterization of
the Chinese is as thorough and understand
ing as that of Mr. Fernald in 1.-The Cat and
the Cherub." The infant Hoo Chez in the
latter play was, it will be remembered, in
exact contrast to Chan Toy. Instead of
bounding upon the stage screaming in child
ish delight, he walks on with a calm and
studied dignity as BELTS his fathers son.
He attempts no playfulness, even with his
beloved cat, but clasps it to his breast in
solemn but thoroughly affectionate man.
ner. Chan Toy, on the contrary, is
boisterous infant; he plays as rudely as
other children, and is altogether in strong
contrast with his self-constrained, silent
father. Chinese children may accumulate
their dignity later in life, but to the I'M
taught observer the characterization Of Hoo
Chez certainly seems the better in con-
sideration of the picture which both Mr..
Powers and Mr.. Fernald have given us of
the matured Chinese.-New York Journal.

The first session of the retreat under the

said at . o'clock The second mass will be
said at o'clock and the high mass at

Church met in that church yesterday after
vespers, and the Ladies' Total Abstinence
Society held a meeting in the Library Hail.
High mass at St Johns Church yesterday

mon was delivered by Rev. Father Gavish.
The text was taken from the gospel of the
day, the second Sunday in Advent Mat
thew XII, 2-10, relating how John the Bap-
fist was beheheaded. Father Gavisk en-
phasized two strong points in the life of
John, his strength of character and the
plainness and fearlessness of his preaching

congregation.
A social will be given at the Masonic
,al' Sunday evening. Dec 49, by the
knights of Father Mathew for the benefit
ttev. Dennis McCabe of the Holy Cross

MRS. BooTH-TUCKER TALKS.
An Immense Crowd Hears Her at Sec
Ond Presbyterian Church.

Ond Presbyterian Church.
The Second Presbyterian Church was
crowded last night to greet Mrs. Booth
Tucker Chairs were placed in all the aisles
and in all the open space about the pulpit.
There was not an inch Of space that was
not taken, and after all that it was possible
to get into the commodious auditorium had
been seated. hundreds more crowded in and
struggled for standing room. When it came
time to dismiss the congregation it was nee
essary that the extra chairs be slowed
away under the pews before the people
could move.
Mrs Booth-Tucker presented a pleasing
appearance She appeared in the regulation
Salvation Army uniform of blue and red.
excepting that the texture of her garments
was finer than that usually seen about the
army barracks. The regulation poke bonnet
covered her head and she wore a large
white sash extending from her left shout
der and trailing the floor at her right side.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker is a good orator and
speaks earnestly and impreSSively. She is
hard to understand. however, owing to her
strong English accent. 1t was necessary to
pay strict attention to follow her, but after
she could be heard and understood all over
the room. She spoke almost on the same
lines as in her afternoon address at Roberts
Park Church. She said that there were
270 900 people kneeling annually at the affairs
of the Salvation Army, and $4,000 souls seek
ing salvation at these affairs in the United
States. The rescue homes in this country
cared for 1850 young women annually, and
the criminal homes saved l,5O0 young men
from prison.
At the conclusion of her address Mr. Mil
burn asked that a collection be taken for
the Salvation Army, and the baskets were
passed with difficulty in the immense crowd.
They returned heavily laden with bills, sill
yer and blanks filled out with promises to
pay liberal sums.
