 Miss Harrison adapted her talk ad- mirably to the understanding of her audience and the rspt attention of the children bore eloquent testimony. of her success in presenting the subject.
 A meeting was held at 8 o'clock last night at the Dexter Avenue Methodist Church. at which. Mrs. Luke Johnson, of Athens Ga.. member of the Gener- alS Board of the Society spoke to q large audience on the local and con- nectionai work of the woman's Home Mission Society. { on behalf of the Iscariot Bible School, of Kansas City. an institution devoted to the enducation of women for mis- stonary work. She called attention to the fact that upon this school. the So- ciety is dependent for the supply of deaconesses, that the demand for workers in this field exceeds the sup ply. and that many young women who are ready and even eager to prepare themselves for missionary work, are hindefed from so doing by lack Of means.
 Mrs. Johnson's address was well de- livered. and her plea for assistance was most timely. The good of the organization which she represents can only be subserved by co-operatiop among the members. and this cooper alton Mrs. Johnson was very success fui in intensifying. Great results of the past session are confidently predict ed by those who attended the meetings

Charges of Perjury Ag@nst
 Who Sued Senator Piatt Tor Di-
 yOrce to Be Laid Before
 Grand Jury.
 NAu York. May 24.--Another chapter in one of the most remarkable legai actions that has been heard In the New York courts in a long time will prop abIv begin this week when the charges cf neriirry against Mae C. Wood, the former newspaper woman and lawyer of omaha, who sued United States Sen ator Thomas c. Platt for divorce VIII be la.id before grand jury.
 Unusual public interest has centereo In the Wood -Piatt case, chiefly on ac- count of the prominence Of the aged Senator Few men are more widely known than the veteran ex-leader or the Republican party In this state With the infrmties of age heavy up on him, the Senator was compelled to submit to the ordeal of the witness stand for the sharp cross-examdnation of opposing counsel.
 Miss Woods suit involved many sem sational charges and 1t was fortined by documentary evidence until Justice O'Gorman declared there was evidence of forgerY and that he believed Miss Wood had committed perjury in order to sustain her charges.
 Miss Wood was taken to the Tombs
 
 there, she has manifested cheerfulness unusual in a woman committed under so serious charges. and has endeaUored to comfort herself by her own conclu- sIons, which she expressed at the time of her arrest that the burden of proof now devolves on those who are prose- cutting her and that It will be more dificult to convict her than to over throw her action for divorce.
 For several days 1t appeared that the woman was without friends but this was disproven on Saturday when bail to the extent of $5,000 was offered by a surety company, This offer could not be accepted owing to the lateness of the hour when the tender was made bu tit probably will be repeated to- morrow.
 Runiors that Mss Wood ia supported by friends who are possessed of strong resources were revived by the offer of bail, but her counsel declined to dis close their identity and Mss Wood has made no public mention of such friends. if she has them. Although Senator Platt testified that it cost him s10,000 to get possession Of the letters he wrote to Miss Wood. he has since been quoted as saying:
 T am sorry for the woman, but she undoubtedly deserves punishment" Both he and Miss Wood was denying a rumor that the Senator's agents had anything to do with the offer of bah for her. Miss Wood, however, asserts that since her commitment she has been asked whether she would plead guilty to the perjury charge if she were paid for doing so. and that she inform ed her questfoner that she would die in jail frst..a
