WESTERN MISSIONARIES
Miss Virginia 0ox Gives an Address in
Hope Church Chapel.

Miss Virginia Dox gave an interest
ing address in the chapel of Hope
church, Thursday evening, before the
Travellers Club of young ladies. Over
rs were present, Rev. Mr.. Phillips pre-
siding, with Mrs. Alice West in charge
of the arrangements. Miss DoX's talk
was interesting, and was devoted to the
story Of her missionary life in the west
She was in Idaho and surrounding
states, with Mormons and cowboys, and
in New Mexico with the Indians. The
cowboys she characterized as very
chivalrous and warm hearted The wild
Indians she, too, liked, and found that
they could be trained into good citizens.
Without the interference of the trader,
they would not lie or steal; and often
she left her locker unfastened, some
thing she had not done in the presence
of the white men. The narrative Of the
missionary's life was full Of lively an
ecdote, and much enjoyed

Charles A. Briggs, since reported lost
with it's entire crew at Nahant, was off
this point trying with torn sails and
broken spars to weather 1t out. She
drifted about off the cape until Monday
morning, when the gale and snow came
on fiercely. Then she drove across the
bay to the Nahant rocks. She was com
paratively helpless and in no condition
to be successfully handled in such wea-
Their. 1924
About o'clock Tuesday afternoon a
large four-masted schooner, either in
ballast or with some light cargo, was
sighted ten miles northeast of this
point. She had lost her jibboom and
martingale, and the wreckage of sails
and tangled rigging hung under her
bows. After dark a strong breeze
sprung up from the westward, and she
was probably blown far out to sea.
The cutter Manning and tugs have
been looking for her off the coast.

CISED.

About the city there has been much
comment upon the work being done by
the street department, and Street Com
missioner Prior has been censured for
what is considered poor handling of the
work. There are many streets in the
city impossible, and in streets where
car tracks are located the only passages
for sleighs are in the valley between two
high banks of snow. Between the
tracks the sweepers of the Consolidated
have swept nearly to the paving, making
it hard pulling for sleighs. If a warm
sun were to shine what little snow there
is between the tracks would be melted,
and in spite of the great fall of snow
there would be no sleighing on these
streets.

The Western Union Company has al
