audience at the Young Mems Christian
association parlors yesterday after
noon. James McCOnkey. of Philadel-
phia, who is conducting bible class
meetings at the association rooms, be-
gan the meeting with a few words
concerning Miss Scott. After the read
ing of scripture and prayer, Miss Scott
began her talk.
She first told of the spirit which
aCtuated her devotion to the cause of
missions She felt that her field was
in East Africa, the hand of God SEEM
ingly pointing out the path. With a
number Of others and with the sup
port Of the Philadelphia consul mis-
sion band she left for Africa in Sep
tember 1895, and made for Mombasa.
In an interesting way Miss Scott then
recited the hardships of life in the dark
continent, its peculiar and shifting
scenes and dangers.
The sacred groves in Africa We're
told Of one of Miss Scott's party shot
a snake in one of these groves and
the act aroused the anger of the ma
tlves, who believe that everything in
the groves sacred and Gods property.
Miss Scotts talk was decidedly inter
esting. Prayer service followed the ad-
dress,

REFERRED TO COUNCILS.
Board OF Revision Will Let the City
Fathers Pass Upon the AdvisabiIity
Of Taking an Appeal.

The board of tax revision and appeal,
excepting Joseph Oliver, who is ill, and
Mr.. Manley, met yesterday afternoon
in the city clerks office and discussed
matters involved in Judge Archbald's
decision multiplying the new assessment.
A letter from City Solicitor Torrey
was received. An extract from the
communication is as follows:
His decision (Judge ArChhalds) af-
fects the power of your board in no re-
spect except so far as it decides that
such partions of the act of 1895 as pur-
ports to give you power to order a
complete new assessment in years other
than triennial years, is unCOnsttutiOn-
al If there are any steps to be taken
to complete the assessment upon which
you have been working, there is MOTH
ing in the present order of the court
to prevent your taking them, but no
tax can be levied upon any assess
ment other than the triennial assess
ment, as modified to meet the changes
in ownership and improvements. /
await instructions from yourselves and
from the councils as to whether the
case shall be carried to a higher court
by appeal. In the meantime, in case
such appeal should be taken, | advise
that the results of your new assess
ment be so preserved that the tax
which may be levied can be computed
upon it, if it should be sustained by
the higher court"
1t was decided to refer Mr.. Torrey's
communication and everything in re-
lation to an appeal to select council
tomorrow night and leave it to Coun-
ellis to direct or disaDDrOVc the an
peal The board took no vote upon it,
AS directed by the city solicitor and if
councils order an appeal the work IN
connection with the new assessment
will be finished.
Whatever may be the opinion of the
Supreme court, the collecting of taxes
will not be delayed, for if the appeal is
taken the higher court will no doubt
sit in special session to hear it, as
twenty-four cities are involved in its
outcome.
