CHRISTI1N SCIENTISTS.
Thousands Observe Com m union Day at
 the Mother Church.

Boston, June 4.-The followers of
 munion day with four largely attended
 services at the mother church, the First
 Church of Christ (Scientist) in this city,
 Thousands flocked into the edifice, mere ly for the privilege of kneeling in silent
 communion for a few moments; of lis-
 tening to the reading of brief message and the exchange of kindly greeting with fellow members. As fast as the brief services were concluded and the congregation had departed a great con- course streamed into the church and the simple, peaceful service was repeat ed. Each gathering was representa- tive one, for all sorts and conditions of men and women were present. The rich and the poor, the high and the iowly, the democratic citizens of the United States and the nob1emen of England, touched elbows, and all seemed imbued with health, happiness and raternal af- lection.
 Even the knowledge that the beloved leader, Mrs. Eddy, would not be present had little effect on those who joined in the services and her message, full of love and peace, was received with silent thankfulnesS. The communion was de- void of symbols. At each of the ser vices the worshippers knelt for a few moments in quietness, after which the first reader, Septimus J. Hanna, invited those present to join in the communion. His words of invitation were: "I now invite all present whether members of this church or not, and communicants of other churches, if there be any pres ent, to enter with us into the inner sanctuary of Saul for a brief moment, into the Holy of Holies, into the secret places of the most high, for there is nothing as near as infinite love" Af- ter the silent prayer the annual mes sage of the pastor emeritus, Mary Bak- CT Eddy, to the mother church was read by John w. Reeder and listened to with great interest.

P.4RKTILLE CHILD MISSING.
Disappears While on an Outing With
 It's Parents.

New Britain, Conn.,, June An view of the notoriety of the famous Marion Clark abduction case there is consider able excitement here tonight over the disappearance of the siX-years-old daughter of MT. and Mrs Herman Es- choltz of Parkville, who disappeared from almost in front of their eyes at Mountain Grove park this afternoon. The resort is located about two miles outside of the city and Is very gener- ously patronized on Sundays by Ger mans mostly Escholtz, his wife and six children drove over there this after noon for an outing As the family was preparing to return home the little girl was found to be missing, and when enquiries were instituted it developed that she had not been seen for half an hour previous. The country in the yi- cinity is mountainous and a few hun dred feet away there is a pond. There were no indications that the child had wandered to the pond and a nasty search of the surrounding country fail ed to disclose any traces of the missing child. It is the general impression that the child is lost in the woods instead of being kidnapped and a searching party of upwards of one hundred were engaged up to a late hour tonight without success.

THREE FOUND DEAD.
Mother Asphyxiates Herself and Two
 Little Children.

New York, June 4.-Mrs. Johanna Schilling, thirty-flve years of age, and her two young daughters, Gertrude, aged ten years, and Edna, aged eight years, were found dead this afternoon in their home at 305 East Eighty-fourth street. All had been asphyxiated by gas, doubtless turned on by the mother with the idea of murdering her two children and committing suicide. The tragedy evidently grew out of a quarrel between the woman and her husband, Otto Schilling, a tailor. On Monday week they had a misunderstanding and the husband left the flat. Mrs. Schll- ling had a warrant issued for his arrest. Schilling had just returned home few hours before the murder and suicide, when q policeman went to the house with the order for arrest. Schilling es- capped over the roof of the tenement and did not return again before he was sum moned to view the corpses of his wife and children. Several letters were found on the floor. They were addressed to relatives and friends. One was to the husband. It read:
 We have been too nasty and it was so lonesome here. I take all the blame. was always your good wife, Otto, and I love you dearly. God forgive us. Good bye. Your loving wife, Johanna"

POLICE OPENED 4 JACK POT.
Italian Gambling Joint Raidcd Down
 Town Last Night.

Town Last Night.
 Sergeant Hayes, with Patrolmen Pss McQueeney, Enright and John Roche, last night raided an Italian poker joint on the top floor of tenement house at No. 199 Wallace street. The game had been running there for some time and many complaints concerning 1t were received at the Grand avenue police station, chiefly from Italian wo- men, who said that their husbands were losing all their money there. Spotters were kept on the lookout every night when the game was in progress, and consequently it was only by the use of strategy that the officers last night were able to get the bulge on the place.
 The police had observed that the spot ters were posted in the street in front of the house and so Sergeant Hayes de- cided to take his detail in by another way. The squad approached the rear of the house from East street and climbed fences. Cautiously they tip toed up the back stairs and then up to the top floor, where they could hear
 
 looking through a crack of the door, saw that the game was in full blast. Suddenly bursting in the door the off, cers took the players and the banker completely by surprise and captured them and the outfit
 Raphael Donnarumna was arrested on the charge of keeping the place and the following were arrested, charged with gaming: Ralph L. Maple, Pasquale Els posito, Eugene Montien, Gero Amora, Cuano Perone and Joseph Mosco, who owns the building in which the game was being run When the officers broke into the room they found a $25 jack pot on the table. Three of the men were released last night under $20O bonds each and the rest had been una- ble to secure bondsmen at an early hour this morning. The cases will probably come up In the city court this morn- ing.

 Away With Loubet.

Copyright by the Associated Press, 1S90.)
 Paris, June Alt was premeditated
 riot that took place to-day on the
 weighing ground of the Auteuil race
 course. The object of the rioters was
 to insult President Loubet, and, per-
 haps in the heat of the faction and
 fight to get rid of him. The state tri-
 bune was invaded by a number of swells. One of them, Baron Christiani,
 raised his cane to strike the president with all his might. The blow was averted by General Bailloud and the cane, descending on M Loubet's hat crushed 1t down, forcing it over his face like candle extinguisher. Mime. Bailloud fainted. Christiani was beaten black and blue by the gentlemen around the president and was carried away by six policemen, he kicking and plung- ing and the blood spouting from his nose. One hundred and thirty arrests were made in the weighing ground. Most of those taken up were society gentlemen.
 M. I.oubet had been forwarned of a plot to insult and assail him and in- stead of driving to the races with his wife he drove with the premier M. Dupuy, and General Balloud, Mime. Loubet following with two ladies in another carriage. The news that Major Marchand had been sent from Paris annoyed the crowd, but the common people were decently behaved all the way to the race course and it was only when the presidential carriage entered the weighing ground that the row be- gan.
 Comte de Dion gave the signal in front of the presidential tribune. He was promptly arrested, but his arrest served as an excuse to his friends to cry, Down with Panama!" "Resign!" and Down with Traitors, Jews and Dreyfusites!" The windows on the ground floor of the presidential tribune were broken and several women in the presidents party upstairs tainted Af- ter the first race M. Loubet, pale and greatly cut up, but firm, retired. A body of police and members of the Re- publican guard had hard work in pro- tecting him, and they finally took his out of the enclosure by an un- crowded byway. Riotous fellows posted in groups along the way to the Elysee kept on insulting the president. Mme Loubet remained to the end of the races. She burst into tears on learning by tele- phone that her husband was safely back in the palace. A stormy sitting is ex- pected tomorrow in the chamber of deputies Emily Crawford
