meeting was somewhat late in getting
started. 1t was s o'clock before the regular
song service was begun. At it's conclusion
an appeal was made to those present who
had felt conversion TO rise and give their
estimony Several responded, and the
eyangelist's brother, who conducts the
early part of the meeting, felt much graf

the meeting. biblical questions being sent
up to the rostrum for the youthful

HOW THE CIRCUS INSTRUCTs.
Military Engineers Got Pointers from
American ShOwmen i'm Europe.
Golfers Weekly.

COllier 5 weekly.
When one of the big American shows
first arrived in Europe, appearing now in
the cities of England, now In those of Ger
many, Austria and Hungary, the phase of
the American circus which most astonished
military men was not so much the show
itself as the manner in which il was moved.
Two or three incidents will serve to illus
trate the curiosity with which the transport
tation department of the English and con-
tinental armies view the organization, dis
cipline and ingenuity shown i'm moving,
without halt or hitch, such a large amount
of property and so many persons.
While preparing to open at the Olympia,
the M-adison-square Garden of London, the
building department of the city told the
owners OF the Olympia that a new prosceni-
UNI arch Of steel must be built. This arch
was to frame a stage at one side of the
edifice, and was $50 feet wide by 20 feet
high. The material was brought into the
building. and the arch was put together,
bit by bit. fiat on the ground.
When completed the British workmen
were confronted by the task of lifting the
heavy frame into place. Days were spent
in futile attempts. until at last the show
proprietor said that If they would turn the
Job over TO him he would raise the thing of
steel. He then called in his 300 American
and IN three hours had the arch
in position and secure-using for the pur-
pose only the circus paraphernalia which
he had brought with him from America.
A London newspaper printed an editorial
urging the government 20 detail one or two
OlittTS lIOil Nit CD6ilctAthS pS % II the
army TO travel with the circus. and thus
acquire knowledge that would be of prac-
teal use in moving military material. The
government acted upon this advice. and
throughout the tour several army officers
were always present to witness the loading
and unloading of the cars, the transporta-
ton TO and from the grounds and the cree
tion and razing of the tents.
The reigning monarch OF one of the Euro
pean nations himself came TO the show in
%cognito. He did not come to see the per-
formance, but devoted the night to a per-
sonal inspection OF circus operations, such
as the taking down of the tents. their
movement to the train and their loading
on the cars. He said that he regarded this
i'm the movement of heavy material thai
he had ever witnessed. and that he intend
ed that officers in the army should famil-
iarize themselves with IL.

This association has done much in the
working women, not generally in domes-
way Of collecting sums of money due to
tic service, but from sharpers, sweaters,
and the INSCRIPTIONS at large.
THE society that takes the lead in this
direction, however, is the Working
Women'S Protective Union of New York.
There are similar unions in Philadelphia,
Cleveland, Chicago and San Francisco.
The New York union originated during
the war, when the evils Of the sweat
shop system were something terrible, I'M
der the stress Of hurry orders for the
army. In the years since then it has
collected over $50 600, most Of 1t in sums
not over 81, owed to poor women ana
girls. The society is kept up by volun-
tary contributions purely, and is entirely
devoid of the methods Of the circumlo-
cution office. The defrauded woman
states her case: the employer has an OPP
portunity to explain or pay up, or I'M
less he does one or the other. or both,
suit is begun without further delay The
money is paid over to the plaintiff with
out any fee being retained. For more
than thirty years John II. Parsons has
given his services to this union, con-
Quoting over 1900 prosecutions and adj
justing over 10000 disputes between en-
ployers and employees. Besides this, the
union has furnished some 5000 women
with employment
