ANGEL OF MERCY A FoRaER.
Mrs. COpeland's Crimes Come to
Light After Her Death.


Light After Her Death.
Marathon N Y. June 21-A week ago
this village bewailed the death of Mrs.
Martha Copeland. She was in the advance
of ali philanthropic enterprises, foremost
in religious work, sympathetic and unre-
mitting at the sick bed and good to the
unfortunate-a veritabIe angel of mercy.
She was the widow Of George ". Cope
land, a well-known man, who died four
years ago. Since that time she and Mrs
Mary r. Hurlbert. also a widow and the
richest woman in Marathon. had lived to-
gether and were like sisters
Mrs. Copeland had the village millinery
store and apparently did a fourishing
trade. For long time she was president
of the local Woman's Relief Corps, an ac-
tive member of Marathon Chapter OF the
Eastern Star and of the Royal TempIars.
Her Illness. which was from heart troJ-
BILE, was brief and she was impressed that
it would be fatal and expressed great
anxiety for the welfare of the employees
of her store
After her death the village paper printed
a long eulOgy, saying: No other woman
has more impressed herself on the place
and its welfare" Her pastor preached a
sermon intended to illustrate her life from
the text: Whatsoever thy hand fndeth
to do, do it with thy might" and over her
grave the tender ritual of the Eastern
Star was said.
A few days after the funeral notes given
by Mrs. Copeland and indorsed by Mrs
Hurlbert began To pour in. Mrs HurIbert
declares her signature TO be a forgery in
every case. The notes are mostly held by
women of the village and vary in amount
from SO to $50. Up TO this time thirty
have been presented. aggregatiRg IS 920,
and there are others out which will bring
the total up to 5000.
For long time Mrs Copeland had been
going to Binghamton once a week. and it
is learned that all the forged paper was
discounted there.

MISSIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Presby terians Propose n Conference
With Other Churches

PIesby terians Propose n Conference
With other Churches.
New York. May 2l.-The committee on
China and the executive council of the
Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions.
to which was referred the expediency of
opening missionary work in the Philip
pine Islands, reported yesterday. saying
in part:
eve feel that the political and military
relations into which the United States
has been so strangely forced with refer
ence to the Philippine Islands. and also
to Cuba and to Porto Rico, involve GER
tain moral and religious responsibilities
responsibilities which are perhaps. quite
independent of the precise character of
the political relationship which may
hereafter be formed with them-and that
the Christian people of America should
Immediately and prayerfuIly consider the
duty of entering the door which God in
His providence is thus opening 1t is
only fair to presume that this sentiment
is not peculiar to Presbyterians. Indeed,
there are rumors that the foreign mis-
sions boards of other churches are dis
posed TO consider the question of their
relation to these opening fields. We be-
lieve that the new situation thus proyi-
dentially forced upon US affords an ex-
cellent opportunity, not only for begin
ming this work, but for beginning it right
from the view point of Christian fellow
ship and the economical use of men and
money.
ITO this end we recommend that the
executive council be directed to hold an
early conference with the representatives
of the American Board, the Baptist Mis-
| sionary Union, the Missionary Society of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. the
Board of Foreign and Domestic Missions
! of the Protestant Episcopal Church and
the Board of Foreign Missions of Amer
lea, with a view TO frank and mutual
understanding as to the responsibilities
| of American Christians TO the people of
| Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine ISL
ands, and an~agreement as TO the most
| effective distribution of the work among
the several boards, if il shall be found
| expedient and practicable to undertake
| it."
The report was submitted to the Board
! of Foreign Missions at its regular meet
| ing. at No. 156 Fifth Avenue. and was
accepted.

DEATH AT a LAUNCHING.
Fifty Lives Lost by the Collapse of
n Staging.


London. June 21.-The new British bat
tleshIp Albion was launched from the
yards at Blackwell today The back
wash from the launching Of the vessel
surged against and broke down a staging
eighty feet long, filled with spectators,
and three hundred persons were preciDi-
tated into the Thames. 1t is believed
that fifty lives have been lost.
The launching was. presided over by the
Duchess of York
A large and brilliant company of la
dies and gentlemen was present. includ-
ing United States Ambassador Hay and
Mrs. Hay.
The persons thrown into the water by
the falling of the staging were residents
of the neighborhood Notices were post
ed warning the people against crowding
the staging, calling attention to the dan
ger of so doing. but the warnings were
unheeded and the staging was pa cked with
humanity.
Thirty bodies have thus far been re-
covered and some sixty women and girls
were rescued from the water in various
stages of exhaustion.
1t will be impossible to ascertain the
exact number OF persons drowned. until
the tide reaches the end of it's ebb
Those who officially took part in the
launching were not aware of the disaster
until they returned to London. The stag
ing which was wrecked was not intended
for sightseers and 1t could not be seen
from the bows of the warship around
which the official party were gathered.

Speculation as to the Relative Mer-

ing. If 1t does not break records. the feel
ing grows that Cornell will win out even
more handily than last year. Two bets
have been made one of $500 even on Cor
nell against Yale and one of $50 on Cor
nell against the field. II Is safe TO say,
however. that the betting will not pre-
vail on these terms and more sensible
bets may be looked for.
No one expects that even money will
rule. but Cornell. to whom all look for a
start to the betting. has hardly made an
offer as yet.
Those who know, say that there will be
plenty of Cornell money 10 De mad at the
right time and there is considerable talk
to the effect that Yale will back her crew
though asking for odds. Harvard con-
fidence seems to be limited.
1t has leaked out that the Ithacan Var
sity crew for 1895 holds the record for
mile done on the lake at home. This be-
came known late last night and was not
only stated on good authority. but is
confirmed from reliable sources. The time
is not named, except as being better than
five minutes. News of this Travelled fast
up to Gales Ferry and Red Top where
the best mile time that either of the
crews is not as low as five minutes
More than that. Cornelrs time was
made on dead water, and Bob Cook is
authority for the statement that dead
water is over a minute slower than run
ming water in a four-mile course Under
relatively the same conditions of wind,
! If dead water is slower than running wa
! ter, as all experts maintain, Cornell s
| time tomorrow should be something TO

| morning. however which is vital Can
! Cornell last for four miles? 1t had
! hardly been limited before today that
| Cornell might lack staying powers but
| there is doubt in the minds of few
| judges, based on the fact that Cornell
| is rowing a much harder stroke than
1 either Yale or Harvard.
| The splendid appearance of the men
| physically and their rowing experience,
! serves greatly to answer the question
! about Cornells staying power No work
will be done today by any of the crews.
| All of them went through a fair drill
! yesterday evening. Cornell rowed four
| miles at a moderate pace. covering the
last two miles of the course and back.
Harvard practiced starts and spurts in
front other quarters, and then went over
a mile on time. Yet, in spite of the fact

not let his crew do no more than paddle

The New York Seventh VIII Not Go
to the FrCut.

The New SRSehtn III Sot oo
to the FrCHt.
Albany, n. Y, June H.-There Is no
hope whatever that the Seventh Regiment
will be sent to the front, and the same
may be said of the chances of the Twen-
ty-third. Adjt Gen. TilIinghast said that
the military authorities had decided
that none of the three regiments and
ten separate companies which were held
in the State when the first call for vol
unteers was issued will be considered un-
der subsequent calls.
'"The remaining organizations of the
old National Guard of the State cannot
be spared said Gen. Tflinghast. Their
worth has been well known, and it has
been decided to hold them in the State
as home guard. They can be depended
on to do their duty in case of a riot or OF
a Spanish fleet appearing suddenly OH our
coast, and especially in case Of an at
tempted invasion.
"Col. Appleton. Lieut.. Col. Kip and
Can't. Lydeoker were here to make a
final appeal today, and they did advance
a strong argument, but the Seventh can
not be spared. The same decision applies
to the Twenty-third of Brooklyn, and the
Seventy fourth of Buffalo. There is no
necessity for sending the tried troops
away now.
Gen. Tillinghast added that the second
call, which has just been received from
Washington, simply calls for volunteers,
and is much broader in its requirements
than was the first CALL He estimates
that besides the 1900 men required to re-
cruit up the troops to the maximum, the
second call will require from this State
4,272 men in the three regiments of in
fantry and the three batteries of artillery.
Major S. r. Jocelyn, of the Nineteenth
United States Infantry; Lieut.. Conklin
and Lieut.. Snow will act as mastering
officers under the call.
Adjt. Gen. Tillinghast said that it is the
intention of the military authorities to
give preference to the new National
Guard in forming the three regiments
required under the second call. He does
not as yet know whether or not any of
the independent volunteer organizations
will get chance to enlist.
