A Vermont Missionary in California.

Under the heading, Miss Yarrow's
Goodness" the Boston Journal prints
the following:
"The Congregational Sunday
School and Publishing society re-
ports a recent instance of heroism on
the part of one OF its missionaries,
Miss Florence Yarrow, graduate of
one OF Dwight l.. Moody's schools.
She was serving in Single, Cal. Her
home was in business block which
was burned the second week in Feb.
rnary.
THE inmates ofthe dwelling apart,
ments over the stores. consisting OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Pelton, Miss Yarrow,
another young woman, and the
clerk, were awakened about 4
O'Clock Sunday morning to find th.
whole building in flames. the stair
way entirely gone and the walls
ready to fall at any moment.
THE three women were the first to
reach the porch over the front en-
trance-the only part of the exterior
still beyond the flames. From here;
except for Miss Yarrow's courage
and presence of mind, the others
would have thrown themselves to
the ground. She led the way over
the corner Of the porch and down the
rough support to the ground. Mrs.
Pelton was the last to come and was
not so successful as the others, for
half way down she lost her hold and
fell heavily to the ground. She was
badly injured.
at was storming at the time, and
for nearly an hour these young wo-
men stood in the rain in bare feet and
slight protection, while the two men
carried Mrs. Pelton to a place OF
safety, and tried, though without
success, to save something from the
wreck. Almost Immediately after
they had quilted the house the roof
fell in.
Mrs. Pelton's home with its accu-
mulated treasures is gone, without
insurance. Miss Yarrow's loss is
also absolute. Trunk, wardrobe,
books, watch and chain, satchel,
handbag, macintosh, gold mounted
umbrella, nearly $40 in money, her
indispensable bicycle, and, hardest
OF all, her notes OF work at Moody's
school and of studies since, together
with the manuscript of two books
which she had written"
1t will be remembered by many
who have followed the fortunes OF
our workers, and by all in the state
who had a personal acquaintance
with Miss Yarrow, that she went to
California about two years ago to
escape the severe winters of New

INDIANS HOLDING OFF.
An Attempt to Consolidate All Their Grlev-
ances Into One Issue for settlement
Not Allowed.

Walker, Mimi, Oct 15.-The In.
dams, including the two delegates
from the hostile camp, have had their
council with Commissioner Jones, but
it is hard to see where any positive
progress has been made. In one re-
spect the authorities probably gained
advantage yesterday. The Indians
have tried to consolidate all the col.
lateral questions in one issue. The
commissioner declined to allow it
He told the Indians very plainly
that If they would get together
and agree as TO what they really
wanted, he would endeavor to settle
their grievances as satisfactorily as
possible for the majority under the
law; but the men wanted by the mar
shall must surrender without any re-
gard to the other questions. As q re.
suit Of the conference the Indians will
get together and agree upon def
mite statement OF what they want
They will present their claims to the
commissioner before he leaves Walker,
but 1t is probable that no conclusion
will be reached at once. Flat Mouth
and delegation will 20 down to
