Basket and Mat Making
Taught to Waverly Con-
gregational's Young
Girls.

Several new enterprises have been
started in the Waverly Congregational,
which from all appearances promise to
be successful. One Of the enterprises
is the industrial class for girls, which
is under the direction Of Mrs. Buchanan
Of Brooklyn. This class is composed of
sixty girls, from twelve to twenty years
of age. Every Thursday evening they
meet in the church and then Mrs.
Buchanan teaches them to weave baskets
and mats and also instructs them in
physical culture. The basket weaving
is taught with the idea that later on the
girls may make baskets to sell, if not
for themselves, then for the church.
1t is pleasure to see all the girls at
work on the mat weaving. There is
perfect order everywhere and sometimes
not a sound is heard because they are so
interested. Mrs. Buchanan has a very
charming personality, sort of mag
netism that draws the girls to her. She
is very much interested in the work and
is very much satisfied with the progress
the class is making. This class is not
for the mercenary side entirely, but was
formed originally to bring the girls un-
der Christian influence and interest
them. The class is undenominational
A class for younger girls has been
formed also. This meets Saturday af-
ternoon and has regular attendance
of about forty children. They meet to
sew and later on basket weaving will
be introduced. This class is undenomi-
national also.
Other enterprises are the Glee Club
which have been organized by Mr.. VIII
son, the organist and musical director of
the church.
The Glee Club for young women meets
Thursday evening at eight o'clock. They
are taking up college glees and the same
line Of work as college clubs do. The
Young Mems Glee Club meets the same
evening, but one hour later. They have
about the same work.
The Children's Glee Club meets every
Friday afternoon at $3.50 and are trained
for the Junior choir. There are about
fifty children in the choir, and Mr.. Will
son hopes to increase the number to one
hundred
Still another enterprise is the Literary
Society for Young Women. They are
studying American Authors" At the
last meeting of the society papers were
read on the works of Lowell The topic
for Monday, November "a, will be

DIED ON A TRAIN
Child Expires Suddenly and
Mother Tries to Throw
Herself From the
Car.


Passengers on a train on the West
Shore Railroad last night witnessed a
pathetic scene. Little Ida Gessner, the
seven-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Gessner, of Glennville, N. Y,
while on her way to New York City in
company with her mother, was taken
suddenly i'll and died before the train
reached Weehawken.
Mrs. Gessner was on her way to the
home of her mother, with whom she in
tended to pass Thanksgiving. The child,
who was a well-built girl, with rosy
cheeks, appeared to be in the best of
health and spirits when they started on
their journey. The pair had almost
reached the end of their trip when the
girl complained of feeling i'll and few
minutes later she became unconscious. A
physician, who happened to be on the
train, hurried to her side. All efforts to
revive her proved unsuccessful and she
passed away few minutes later with
out recovering consciousness.
On learning that her child was dead
Mrs. Gessner tainted. When she reeov-
cred her senses she became hysterical
and tried to throw herself from the train.
She was srestrained by the passengers,
who were much moved by her grief. In
her efforts to get away from them she
broke one of the windows. When the
train reached Weehawken an undertaken
took charge> of the child's body. Mrs.
Gessner refused to be parted from the
body and she acted for time as though
she was distracted.
She was placed in a carriage and
taken to the home Of her mother, where
she is now prostrated with grief. As
soon as County Physician Converse has
examined the body and issued the neces-
sary certificate, it will be shipped to
Glennville for interment.
1t is believed that the girls death was
due to heart disease.

can be easily handled as the fire is
principally fed by gas. The oil is
being drawn from the tanks as rapidly
as possible and they will probably
burn themselves out in a short time.
The loss caused by the fire is various
ly estimated at from $4,000 to $780,
600. About 80 derricks were de-
stroyed. Fifteen tanks, some filled
with oil, burned out. Several pump
ing plants were rendered useless. The
fire was started by the care1essness of
a workman, whose name is not yet
known. He went into tank which
was partly filled with oil, with lighted
lantern, and there was an explosion of
gas, which ignited the oil. The man
escaped, though he is said to have
been badly burned.
