recently associate principal of Lassen Uni
versity, Maine, has taken charge of the
Lucy Webb Hayes National Training
School for Missionaries and Deaconesses in
this city, succeeding Rev. DR.. A. H. Ames,
resigned. The institution here is the first
training school started by the Woman's
Home Missionary Society of the M. E.
Church. This institution was founded ten
years ago by Mrs. Jane Bancroft Robinson
and was made possible by the gift Of prop
erty from Ephraim Nash, man whose be-
nevOlence was directed to the poor and
the needy. During the past decade many
missionaries and deaconesses have gone
forth from this school to minister to the
wants of the suffering ones. From the be-
ginning this institution has constantly
grown and now new era is opening to it.
Thirty thousand dollars have been ex-
pended in the PURCHASE of additional land,

The new president is a graduate of honor
from Wesleyan University. After spending
eighteen years as pastor and presiding
elder he was called into the educational
field, first as president of Lawrence Uni
cersity Appleton Wis, and then as presi-
dent of Maine Wesleyan Seminary and
College and afterward as associate princi-
pal of LasselI Seminary, which last position
heleft to become president of this important
institution at Washington. DR.. Gallagher
has twice served in the general conference
and is the author of a work entitled God
Revealed; or Natures Best Word, and is
also well-known contributor to the Meth
odist Review and other church periodicals.
The National Lutheran Home for the
Aged, located near this city, is one OF the
Youngest charities of the general Lutheran
synod and is exciting a very general inter-
est. No urgent appeal for funds has been
made. as the regular income and private
donations have sufficed to maintain the in
stitution. 1t is stated, however, that a
chapel is needed and the hope is expressed
that some one will erect such a building as
a memorial.
From a copy of an exhaustive statement
prepared by committee of the China
Missionary Alliance the following con-
densed account is taken: THAT when the
facts concerning the recent uprising are
rightfully understood it will be found that
the missionaries were blameless in the
matter and that it was caused by short
ness of food almost amounting to famine
which prevailed in the regions affected; the
irritation caused by the industrial and eco
nomic changes created by railway con-
struction and other foreign enterprises; the
seizures of several ports, which were bitter
ly resented as unwarrantable aggressions,
and the projection and forcible surveying
of railway route through the province of
Shantung, which produced intense local
