New York. Sept 1s.-Deserted apparent
iv. by every friend she had on earth, Miss
Helen southgate is slowly recovering in
the seney hospital, in Brooklyn. from the
bullet wound inflicted by Henry Barbour
last Thursday evening.
All yesterday and the day before she
lay in her bed in the hospital suffering
but little physical pain, but overwhelmed
by the far more terrible mental agony
which the memory of her experience
forced upon her. All the long hours she
waited for some friend TO comfort and
cheer her, but no one came.
The hospital authorities say that she
has not had a single friend OF relative TO
call on her since Saturday.
The only one OF Helen Southgate's kins-
folk who has shown any disposition to
stand by her in her trouble has been her
aunt. Ms s. v. Scheii. She visited Helen
on Saturday, and aftcrward declared her
mistaken confidence In her. and was in
dlgnant at whatshe characterized as the
effort Of the Bdrbour family TO pet all
the blame on the girl.
The nurses IN the hospital pitied the girl
sincerely because OF her mental anguish.
One OF thcm asked her where she intend
cd 10 GO when she left the hospital. She
sighed and said: 81 don't know where 1

Mr.. Conibear said: do I understand
that you wish TO consider this step as a
call for such conference? j see no rea-
son why the union may not properly ini-
tiate the movement. IL we don't, perhaps
nobody will"
Mr.. Root accepted the suggestion and
embodied IL i'm the motion. 1t was sug-
gested by another speaker that move-
ment originating with a man OF Bishop
Mcvickar's maturity and standing would
have more influence than IL IL were start
ed by a society of young people. He said
he thought II would be best for the dele
gates, If any were appointed. to confer
with Bishop Mcvickar before doing any
thing definite. With this understanding
the motion was put and unanimously car
ried. The delegates are Mr.. Conibear and
Mr.. Root. They will see DR.. Mcvickar at
once.
In October the union holds a special
Christian citizenship meeting, which will
be addressed on that subject by Or. Jo-
