Youna Xemen as ushars

Young women ushers have just been
introduced at the Fawsmith Memorial
Church, in Newark, N. j., and from
all reports the innovation is marked
success. There has been already an in
crease in the attendance, although the
young women did not appear until
two weeks ago last Sunday. They act
as ushers only at the evening services,
two of them at a time. 1t is proposed
that two shall have charge OF receiving
strangers for two OF three weeks con-
secutively and then give way to the
others.

Live Cattle for the Troops.
Washington. Oct. IS. In a private
letter received from Manila one of the
officers of the commissary department
there makes the important statement
that with the opening Of the present
campaign it will be possible to secure
all the live cattle necessary to send
forward with the various columns op-
Grating from Manila. In addition he
observes that it is not likely that any
arm of the service except the cavalry
will be called upon to operate very far
from The railways as Aguinaldo him
self must stick comparatively close to
the railroad line to prevent ~trespassing
upon the territory of his old enemies,
the Hill tribes, Of whom he stands in
quite as much fear as he does of the
American troops.

since he left New York last Tuesday,
and which was attached to the e Of

came out on the platform, but there
was no speechmaking or h%andshaking
on the trip. The party waited a quar-
ter of an hour here for the admiral's
carriage, and when he passed through
the crowd in the depot to reach it there
was some cheering which the admiral
hastily acknowledged by lifting his
hat. The admiral has made no plane
