in the Highland Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Sing Sing. at which the Countess

Rev Dr. John Hall, of New-York, spoke. Thera
was adverse criticism Of the remarks OF Mr.. Han
who presented the late Henry Georges single
tax theory as a means Of eliminating the suffer
ings Of the poor. He did this in reply 70 the
address Of the Countess who exhorted the con-
gregatiOn to always put their trust in God. The
church was crowded.
Mr. Hall was requested to cease speaking By
Mr. Israel the secretary Of the Young Men,

pressed upon her audience the necessity OF not
simply believing what the Bible taught to be
right. but of knowing it to be a fact. She gave
graphic description OF her labOrs among the
poor in large cities in Europe, and told about
her work among strikers and anarchists in
Hamburg, Germany. She described how on one
occasion, she gave beefsteak supper to
number of hungry workmen-
Following her Mr.. Hall was introduced The.
topic he was to speak was Give Us This Day
Our Daily Bread" but in announcing his own
text Mr.. Hall said Give US this day daily
beefsteak." Then he went on 70 show why the
conditions as they now existed in all countries
through the appropriation of the land for the
enrichment of the owners brought about the
condition under which the Countess saw the
necessity of furnishing the poor men OF Ham
burg with the beefsteak- Many OF the people
present did not like this sort Of an address, and
looks of dsapproval went around the auditOri-
um, but the speaker went into an exhaustive
economic argument Finally he was ordered 70
stop by the secretary of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association.
No sooner had Mr. Hall closed than the
Countess arose and announced that it was i'm
perative she should go for another engage
ment. II always ask God for my daily bread.
and He always provides it," she said. looking at
Mr. Hall.
Some of those present expressed indignation
when they filed out OF church They said a

The Countess spoke to the prisoners at Sing
Sing Prison in the forenoon, exhCrttng them 70
lead holy lives when they had served their
sentences for the misdeeds that brought them
to prison. She did not visit any OF the prison
ers but will do so in the week. She viii re-

FRITZ MosENTHAL OF THE JOHANNESBURG

Fritz Mosenthal, for thrty-fYe years a residen:
Of South Africa member of the Johannesburg
Relief Committee of Fifty-eight which

pretended compelled to pay fines of 100000
each, and who is also gold mine director arrived
in the city from Germany yesterday and Is visiting
his brother Frank at No. 112 West Eighty ffth-st
Mr. Mosenthal, although a German, has a rather
poor opinion of the Beers, and says they are cow
ards Speaking of the Beers a people, Mr.
Mosenthal said:
The Boer has no personal courage. He will fight
when he is under cover, but in the OPEN to
man, he is no match for either the Briton any
other white antagonist.
The Beers do not a class, possess any educa-
ton and do not wish to possess any. The moment
d Bcer becomes changed from the simple farmer
to the city resident and his financial condition is
enhanced thereby he becomes a British subject and
renounces the Boer traditions.
Personally, believe that the war situation now
centres in the district around Ladysmith, and
believe that the British will gain decisive victory
soon. in which case the trouble will virtually be
at an end.
Regarding the Delagoa Bay situation Mr. Mosen-
thai said that in of its being closed by Eng
land, which has the first claim it by existing
treaties with Portugal, there would be inlet or
outlet Boer munitions Of war, the distance from
points in the interior being entirely too great to
admit of sending supplies of any kind from that
direction.
Regarding the right Of franchise denied to the
Mr.. Mosenthal said it was quite true that Kruger
had offered the Outlanders a franchise after five
years, but always with the reservation that each
case should be passed on by the older citizens OF
the commonwealth. Mr. Mosenthal said that while
it was generally believed that Dom Paul was
wealthy there was no means of knowing Just how
