the Week

At eight fifteen this evening
If you'll only get in line
With coupon from the Telegraph
Together with dime
You can take trip to Russia
You can see it's wonders too,
The Niblo Travel Talks are here
TO show it all to you.
Readers of the Telegraph tonight,
the the Chestnut street auditorium,
will start on their Journey of travels in
distant lands. That the number of
travellers will be of good size is fore
gone conclusion judging from the in
1uiries that have been coming in to
the business office.
In order that the journey may be-
gin with something different from all
others, the first thing necessary is to
clip the coupon that is printed in the
Telegraph and with ten cents will get
you a good seat. Having made your
self comfortable. the first part of the
journey will be a trip through Russia,
that will cover all of this land of rid
dies from the Black Sea to Siberia.
Scenes that are new, conditions that
are unusual, people who are unique
and customs that are strange, all in
this land where the Car rules with an
iron hand, will be pictured and de-
rcribed in a manner that will make the
visit one to look back upon with a
feeling of Understanding that you
know just what ii is and means to
visit and live in this country that has
been the puzzle of the world.
Not Mere Lectures
The Niblo Travel Talks are not lee
lures in the accepted scene of the
word and must not be confused as
such. No attempt Is made at oratory
and there are no fiourishes. The idea
Is to show in the pictures and to tell
in the story, the various incidents that
go to make up life and conditions as
they are to-day and to give something
OF an intimate view of the lands that
are far beyond the distant horizon.
Following Russia, will come France
Spain, Egypt. Africa and Ireland, in
the order named with q matinee on
Wednesday for Spain and matinee on
Saturday for ireland. This is the very
first time that such a wide scope of
subjects OF a high class character has
been presented in Harrisburg for a
trifiing sum for admission and the
Telegraph has gone to considerable
expense and great amount of effort
in order to secure this noted attraction
that usually charges from 25 cents to
$1,00 for tickets.
Tomorrow night, France, from
Paris to Monte Carlo, will be the sec
ond round of the journey and it is
here that much interest will be found
Paris Is acknowledged TO be the most

Ii is hoped that large and interested
 number of women will be present The following excerpt from ''rhe Bulletin of the Federation of Woman's Mission
 Boards will be of interest
 The plan for the united study of mis-
 sions found it's beginning in the heart of
 Miss A. B. Child, secretary of the Wom- ans Board of Missions, who, as chair man of the worlds committee, arranged for the presentation of this topic at one
 of the sectional meetings for women, held in connection with the Ecumenical conference in New York in May, 1900. The plan met with warm approval and
 a committee of five members was appoint
 ed; each of the following boards fur nished one member. the Baptist Congre- gational. Methodist Episcopal, Presbyte- ran. Protestant Episcopal. Representa- tives of the Dutch Reform and Lutheran boards were later added. A leafiet study was issued in the fall of 19o0. and plans were made for the first text book. The demand for Via Christi was at once far beyond the expectations of the commit tee.
 The central committee on the United
 Study of Foreign Missions, thus organ ized. has published a textbook annually, since that suspicious beginning, and each
 book has found cordial welcome
 It will interest the members of the fed eration, for which the central committee on the united study of foreign missions has paved the way through the spirit of unity and efficiency, developed through mission study prayer and the influence of the jubilee, to know the number of textbooks purchased in the 13 years of the centray committees existence. 1t is as follows. in January. 1914:
