arrive from Spain during the next ten
days. There are 10000 Spanish troops

TWO WOMEN WERE KILLED.
Another Woman and a Man So Badly
Injured that Their Recovery
is Hopeless.
RESULTS OF A FIRE IN new YORK CITY.
Women Rendered Desperate by Their Ex-
treme Peril, Jumped from Windows
One of the Victims Found Dead and
Charred In the Building-Costly Collec-
tion of Paintings Burned.

New York, Dec. 21.-Two women
were killed and another woman and a
man were so badly injured that they
probably will died as the result of a
fire at the residence of Z. H. Ray
mond, at West End avenu and Sew
enty-third street.
Mrs. Underwood, a sister of Mrs.
Raymond, visiting her from Ohio,
leaped from a second-fioor window;
her head struck the sidewalk, and
death was instantaneous. VIM.
Doerr, in trying to rescu Mrs. Under
wood, sustained a fracture of the
skull which will undoubtedly result
in death. Mrs. C. II. Raymond fol-
lowed Mrs. Underwood out of the win
dow, and was picked up unconscious.
Mr.. Raymond was carried from the
house unconscious from smoke.
FOUND IN THE RUINS.
After the flames were eAtinguisheo
the body of Harriet Fee was found on
the third floor of the house. She had
been overcome by the smoke.
A superb collection of pictures and
tapestries owned by Mr.. Raymond was
entirely destroyed. The loss is $780,
900.
The fire was discovered by someone
passing in the street. When the fire
men arrived they could not get into
the building, as the flames burst out
in such a volume that the men were
driven back. MI. and Mrs. Raymond
appeared at windows of the thru
story front, and Mrs. Underwood vt
a second-story window.
A HERO'S SAD FATE.
The fremen ran ladders to the Up
per stories, and VIM. Doerr, { rail-
way conductor, volunteered to go up.
Mrs. Raymond and Mrs. Underwood
could be seen climbing out of the win
dows, and the firemen and the crowd
begged them to go back. Doerr was
half way up the ladder when Mrs.
Underwood jumped from the window,
striking Doerr full in the breast and
carrying him with her to the street.
Then firemen bore away Mrs. Under
wood, while others rescued Doerr. Mrs.
Underwood was dead and Doerr was
dying. Their skulls had been
crushed.
PROBABLY FATAL LEAP.
Meantime Mrs. Raymond, who could
not be restrained by her husband, had
jumped out of the window. 1t is
feared that she is fatally hurt. Two
fremen who climbed a ladder to the
third story, rescued Mr.. Raymond just
as he was overcome by the smoke.
Ferguson, the butler, escaped by
the rear. His face was badly lacerat-
ed by falling while making his escape.
After the fire had been subdued the
body of Harriet Fee was found. All
the clothing had been burned off, and
the corpse was black from the flames

Manila, P. l., Nov. -, via San Fran

ously made by the natives that they
are a highly-civilized race, is not borne
out by facts according to Spanish ref
ugees from the north who have just
reached here. They say that after the
surrender of the town of Aparri the in

feature of which was a Spanish lieu

streets suspended from a bamboo pole,

AMERICAN WOMEN IN THE PULPIT

Women as ministers is the subject of an
interesting article in the Chautauapaa tby
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw. In. -toAaw
writes without any feeling in the way of
resentment against the churches that ex-
clude women from their ministry She is
merely telling facts.
BY the beginning Of the twentieth CEN
fury Dr. Shaw believes there should be at
least 1900 women preaching the Gospel in
the United States. 1t is claimed by the
United Brethren hat it was their denomina,
ton that ordained the first woman in the
Christian ministry. She is Rev Lydia Sex
ton. Miss Sexton was given holy orders in
1851 and worked n the church as minister
until 1890. But it is generally accepted that
the first ordination of a woman was that of
AntoInette Brown, who was graduated from
the theological school at Oberin in 1850, but
who was refused a license to preach. OF
women ordained by the Congregational de
nomination attention is called to Rev Annis
Ford Eastman, now assistant to Rev r. r.
Beecher in Elmira.
There are but three ordained women in
the regular Baptist church-Mary C. Jones,

charm. Daintipess, however, though
not inherited, is the outcome of habit
A girl is dainty because she has been
accustomed to give thought and time
TO being agreeable to others. Thus
1t comes natural to her. Her wealth
OF hair, always so glossy and carefully
trained, owes its sauny appearance to
the fact that she brushes 1t regularly
and frequently, and not solely when
she feels in a mood to do so, or when
she desires to look extra nice. Her
pretty, soft hands, with their she'll
like pink nails, are always in an i'm
maculate condition, for it is her habit
and pride to keep them spotlessly
clean. Her person appears to shed
around her a fragrant perfun-e, deli
cate, yet quite perceptible. This sub
tie fragrance comes from her dainty
way of putting her dresses into draw
Crs which contain sachets of sweetly-
sn cling powder, the scent from
witch seems to be part of herself

THE GIRLS ALLOWANCE.
II Is Her Right and, at the Same
Time, Teaches Her the Proper
Use of Money.

Every self-respecting woman, be
she maid or wife, has a natural and
intense dislike to ask her father or
husband for every penny She needs, :
says Edward Box, writing in the La
dies Home journal, on Giving Allow
anccs to Girls" Nor is the feeling
lessened by the fact that the money
can be had for the asking and is al
ways given ungrudgingly. 1t is the
asking which women dislike They
justly recoil from it, and men ought to
understand it better than they do.
1t should be said that the husband
who refuses to give his wife a regular
allowance is rapidly becoming the ex-
ception. But there are still too many
fathers who withhold an allowance
from their daughters. If it be true
that the average girl has no idea of
the value of money, how will she ever
gain better knowledge of its worth

ordained several women, and women are
Omitted on equal terms as lay delegates to
the general conferences. DR.. Shaw herself
is a graduate of the theological school of the
Boston university, and on being rejected as
a I mister by the Methodist Episcopal
church she was ordained for the Methodist
Protestant church in Tarrytown in 1880.
The Methodist Episcopal church, although it
never ordained women, licensed them until
1880. Even this concession was then re.
pealed. Women, however, have acted and
now act as evangelists and missionaries in
the Methodist Episcopal church. Con-
spicuous among these workers is Elizabeth
W.. Greenwood national evangelstic super
intendent of the w c. T. L. Dr. Shaw says
that it was the life desire of the late Frances
+. Willard to be minister but her church
would not permit it.
The first Universalist woman minister was
Olympia Brown, ordained in 1868 Augusta
j. Chaplin is the only woman who was ever
given the degree of d. d., although many
have earned it, She is graduate of AIichi-
gan university, and Lombard university

unless she is given the opportunity ?
Oar girls must 5t educated in money
matters, and there is no surer method
than by giving them money of their
own to spen0; a regular weekly or
monthly allowance given them to
cover certain regulated expenses. 1t
is only natural that at the start a
girl will spend foolishly. TO meet this
inevitable experience the amount of
the allowance should be accordingly
regulated. After awhile, however,
when she gets accustomed to the hand
ling of money, she will learn its value
better and be more judicious in spend
ing it. TO give girl an allowance is
not privilege, but her right. To
withhold it is to do her a serious
wrong, and likewise is an injustice to
the man whom she will marry and
whose money she will be intrusted
with to spend wisely. She should have
experience before she reaches that
point, and that experience can only
come to her from her father in an al
lowance of her own while she is his
daughter in his home"

My country's flag, 70 thee,
Emblem of liberty,
We raise our song.
BE thou with hope e'cr starred,
BY traitors hand unmarried,
Thine honor ever barred
Against the wrong.
O. wave till wars shall cease,
And nations be at peace
Throughout the world;
Until all deeds are wrought
With kindly hand and thought,
All freedoms battles fought,
Be tEou Unfurled.
OR on the lard, or sea,
Still thou the banner be
OF all our glory.
Founded with hopes and fears,
With sacrifice and tears,
Noble through all its years,
Thy nations story.
Thou God of battles, lead
Where er Thy help we need.
Thy power and might;
Where'er our flag shall wave.
Make our hearts strong and brave,
Be there Thy strength to save,
