MRS. J.FoWLER WILLING.
Speaks on the W. c. II. U. Evangelisttc
Training School.

A very interesting address was given
in the Chestnut street Methodist church.
yesterday morning, by Mrs. j. Fowler
Willing, a sister of Bishop Bowler, who
is so well, and favorably remembered by
our people.
Mrs Willing Is the principal OF the
Worlds W. O. T. q. Evangelistic Train
ing School and Settlement, which is
located in New York ,acity, and Is often
referred to by reason of its peculiar en-
vironments as "Hell's Kitchen" she
is woman of dignified mien, has
clear, penetratin voice and speaks easily
and very effectively.
The topic Of her morning address was
Christian Work. and at the outset she
mentioned the great need Of training and
practice which were essential for COM
pleteness of results and passing on to the
special work which she was engaged in,
gave a very vivid account of her expert
enoes among the children living in what
might be called the very slums of New
York. #
Not alone among the children, but fac-
tory girls, outcasts and depraved char
acters, which swarm in certain sections
OF Greater New York, were within the
sphere Of the rsformatory methods of the
school and settlement.
She gave a graphic description of her
surroundings and rather humorously de-
scribed the first Sunday school in the dis
trict which was attended by her brother,
the Bishop, and despite hsr many grue-
some neighbors, SO devoted is Mrs. Will
ing to her special work, that no palace,
said she, was ESQ beautiful to her as the
scene Of her Evangelistic labors.
Although the school is in New York,
the speaker thought it was of national
concern, for it dealt with set Of people
whose hands, by reason of the ballot.
were on the very throttle valves of power,
and SO degraded that they were the mere
tools of political bosses who could use
them SO as to control the city, which
might determine the political complexion
of the state and nation as well.
In conclusion, Mrs. Willing asked for
the prayers of the congregation and
wanted students and constituency
from Chestnut street church.. She made
strong appeal to those present to lend
a helping hand, for it might be that a
very sister or brother might be saved by
so doing and cited figures TO show that
each year $1,000 girls were shared,
bought and sold to be trampied on by the
feet of the beastly.
Mrs. Vikings address was listened to,
with appreoiative interest and cards
we're passed around the church for sub
scriptions which met with satisfactory
responses.

ALL WERE ARMED.
Officers of the Monterey Feared the In
surgents Would Board the Monitor.

A letter received from DR.. Chauncey
Rea Burr, formerly of this city. now
surgeon on the monitor Monterey, tells
OF the fears the Americans at Manila
entertained of trouble with the insur.
gents. In the letter, DR.. Burr says:
September Ill was in Manila On Fri.
day last. Two or three of the officers are
much disturbed because they fear that
their wives are on the way to them. The
trouble is that they do not know what
80 do with Them when they get here. 1t
it said the most critical time is yet to
come. The insurgents have been told to
leave the neighborhood Of Manila by Sep
tember 10Th, or they will be put out.
They have captured every town in the
island, except Manila and Cayite, and
they suffer from 'swelled head" in con
sequence at the present time. Orders
came the other night to arm the watch,
and even sleep with loaded revolver
over my head. The fear is that the in
surgents may board us some dark night,
AS we lie SO low In the water, they might
surround us with their canoes. II they
do they will find a warm reception.

FIXED SALARY, NO FEES.
Scheme to Reduce Earnings of Fortland's
Liquor Deputies.

A movement Is quietly in progress, in
certain circles. with view to lessening
the cost to Cumberland county of main
tanning liquor deputies in Portland.
Under the present law they receive 81 per
day and fees on all service warrants.
No doubt the actual earnings of the depu-
ties are often over-estimated, but the esti-
mates vary from $500 to $500.
The plan now being evolved is the
PRESS Is informed, to ask the legislature
to fix the salaries of tina Portland special
deputies at $1,000 and no fees be allowed
them in addition thereto.
Two of the county commissioners who
were questioned Saturday disclaimed any
part in the movement. Since the law
court decision against the ez-deputies
who brought suit to recover fees on
dummy" warrants, the commissioners
have allowed no fees on that kind of war.
rants. except 10 cents for travel of the
officer who served the warrant and 8 cents
for the travel OF his aid.
The term dummy" applies to warrants
issued which are returned Endorsed, ssNo
liquors found" and also to warrants upon
which liquors are seized bat their owners
not identified. Whenever the deputies
serve warrant which results in con-
viction, they are allowed full service fees,
such fees being added to the costs charged
against the respondent.
One OF the commissioners, in reply to
tie reporters enquiry, said the fees
allowed the liquor deputies during the
last year wouin, added to their 80 day
salary, make an aggregate Of about 81, 900
apiece. But he explained that the LIQUOR
deputies do not get that full amount, as
they are hired by tho sheriff at fixed
com pensation, and whatever they earn
q bove that amount goes to the sheriff.
Another county official with whom the
reporter talked said that the movement to
fix the salaries OF the liquor deputies
would probably not materiaIize till after
it became known what Sheriff-elect
Despeaux intends to do in regard to the
appointment of deputies.
