TOLD HER MEXICAN EXPERIENCES
Miss Cementia Butler Was Speaker Methodist Church
 Perilous Times Mission SchooI-Suspected of Plot and

Miss C1ementina. Butler. daughter of Dr. and Mrsh. William Butler. found- CTS of the Methodist missions in India and Mexico. and sister of Rev. John missions in Mexico, gave a most in teresting account of her experiences in Mexico last spring at the evening ser vice at Trinity Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday. The rain affected the attendance somewhat, but never theleSs it was a. good sized congrega- ton to which Miss Butler spoke The K. w. Coleman, who offered prayer after the opening hymns and the read ing of the scripture lesson.
 Miss Butler. who was in Puebla in one of the largest mission schools in Mexico for four months following last January, said that the work is large ly along educational lines. As the two Mexican factions were at war the first thing that Miss Butler did when she went to the school was to make a thorough inspection of the building so as to see what measures should be adopted in case of mob violence. Finally she went onto the flat roof and here discovered that all her precau- tions had been in vain. The school only occupied three quarters of the occupied by people not particularly friendly to the mission leaders, so that it would have been a. very easy mat ter for them to admit hostile Mexi- cans into their apartments and thence onto the room, from where they could gain easy access to the mission school.
 Mexieans fingered by Arrival oi
 Marines.
 After the American marines had landed at Vera Cruz the Mexicans be- gan to parade the streets in mob call ing out. Death to the Americans.' At this time Miss Butler received a telegram from her brother urging hel to leave immediately and seek refuge with him. The seven teachers in the mission dismissed school, but they were unable to get either the scholars or themselves out of town. As Miss Butler was afraid that the mob would pay a visit to the mission and blow | it up, the scholars were sent to va rious homes in the city where they would be comparatively safe at leaS temporarily.
 Doctor Gave Her Help.
 Miss Butler with two American | young ladies were unable to find safe | ty anywhere as they were afraid tC go to hotels or to show themselvei l in the streets, feeling was running st high. At last one of the leading phy l sicians in the town offered her tn use of his home at the risk of losins all he possessed if the Mexicans hat known of his action By the thirt l day after the capture of Vera cru it became assured that the marine were not going to invade their cit, so they returned to the school. | Telegrams continued to arrive fo

teachers to leave. The teachers with the exception of Miss Butler dis guised and started for the refugee train which they succeeded in board ing. She remained to care for the girls in the school and as fast as pos sible sent the girls to their various homes.
 Suspected of Plot.
 This consumed several days and the government officials began to suspect that she was assisting in some plot detrimental to their interests so they sent 5 officials with ten soldiers to the school to ask her what she meant by remaining at the mission alone It happaned that when the soldiers and officials arrived at the school they met an American gentleman at the door. This American, who had been to see Miss Butler on business and was just leaving the mission. be- came excited and. misunderstanding the visit of the Mexicans. he cried out for assistance and started to run. He was promptly arrested and the Mexicans, thinking that some plot or the building and that his cries had been uttered to alarm the others, be- gan to investigate the premises.
 Lighting Candle Saved Her Life.
 They ordered Miss Butler to reveal
 
 were not at all satisfied when she told them there were none. They searched everywhere, even breaking open lock- ed trunks where they thought the | Americans might be hiding. When the men were searching 1oI | Americans the electric lights were ex- | tinguished by a severe thunder storm and the soldiers thought that she had turned them off herself. One of them drew his revolver and aimed at her standing only two or three feet away She dropped her hand to the table sht was standing by and by chance sht l touched a box of matches. Immediate | ly lighting a candle she convinced | the soldiers that she had nothing tS hide from them and had nothing tC | do with the extinguishing of the lights so her left was spared
 | Finally they departed for the tim' being, carrying away with them al papers they found in Miss Butler'l desk, and if any of the papers wer' of revolutionary nature it would nt doubt have gone hard with Miss But Ter.
 Miss Butler remained at the mission as long as there was need for her ser vices and then being advised to leav' she did so, disguised as Mexican woman.
 1 Miss Butler also spoke of the won derful work done in a Chinese prov ince by a native woman who ha' studied in a Methodist medical schoo and of how her fame spread through out the entire province, carrying witt it the story of Christ and the gospel She closed her address with an earn est prayer.

On the complaint of Mrs. Nettie Clark, wife of Frederick Clark, of No. 93 Fourth street, that they had insult ed her, Felix Devlin and Idola Bour- geois, both of Taftville, were arrested Saturday night at Franklin square about 10.45 o'clock by Sergeant John H. Kane and Policeman Patrick Mur- phy.
 Mrs. Clark was seated in a car at the square waiting for her husband to join her to go home together when she was insulted by the two young men, she claimed. She got out of the car to complain to a policeman and her hus- band who was near by came up about that time. As the two young men were being led away to police head- quarters and she followed after to make the complaint against them, she fell in a faint near the corner of Bath and Franklin streets.
 A big crowd gathered and an auto- mobile was secured to take her to the police station, where Dr. J. w. Calla- han was summoned to give her medical treatment.
 Her nervous condition was such that she was allowed to remain in the woman's room at police headquarters over night
 The two young men, who deny the complaint she has made against them were charged with breach of the peace They were released on bail later.

SACRIFICE OF THE MASS.
The Same Now as When Christ Gave Command to Disciples at Last Sup- per-Explained by Rev. T. A. Grum- bly,.

Continuing his explanation of the ceremonialS of the Catholic church, Rev. Thomas A. GrumbIy spoke at the high mass in St. Patrick's church Sunday on the sacrifice of the mass. This, he said. was the same yesterday as on that first Holy Thursday when Christ, at the last supper. taking the bread and wine, said: This is my body; This is my blood. Do this in commemoration of Me.
 The apostles as Christ's successors, had followed His commands in offer ing the same holy sacrifice. At first the prayers preceding and following had varied somewhat; but in course of time certain prayers had been pre- scribed, and these continue today, the same in every Catholic church throughout the world.
 The speaker outlined these prayers and the responses in the first half o1 l the mass, called in early times ~the mass of the catechumens,' or those under instruction. Why the psalm o1 l David beginning T will go unto the altar of God, to God who rejoiceth my youth was chosen as the open l ing prayer at the foot of the altar was explained, continuing through Psalm XLII, Judge me, O God. and distinguish my cause from the nation | that is, not holy''; the Confiteor, ol confession of sin / the Introit, or open | ing of the mass book; the Kyrie Elei- son (Greek words meaning, Lord have mercy on us), the Gloria in Excelsis | the Epistle and Gospel, the last two varying with the day and season. | The explanation was very instruc' with the second portion of the mass
