Tose who like to go to weddings, no matter whethe the brides or not, are annoyed when they have to select one ont of three or four ceremonies, 2 occurring at the same time, and it is sug- Gerted to the November brides that they Lave a sort of conmitation and arrange their dates, $0 that thore who are fond of weddings, and who is zot/ can get around to them all.

There is quite an exodus going on from Washington just now toward the election dis- tricts in the north. It is gradually increasing | and will probably get to be of considerable proportions by Monday. At the railway offices the sale of the special election tickets goes on slowly, yet there isa boom in the market each day. ‘There wiil Le several hundred Washingtonians | go home to vote if the rate kecps up. At the | Baltimore and Ohio office, on the corner of 14th | street und Pennsylvania avenue, few less than |ahundred New York tickets have been sold | nnd there ars others being sold at the other | places in town. At the Pennsylvania road main Oftice, a square this side, there has been but a smal! number, perliaps twenty-five, disposed of, but this is mainly due to tue fact that tickets on this road are good only on the day of sale, and consequently most voters buy their fares at the stations. | ——— ‘War Department Changes.

O. ae THE METHODIST MISSIONS. The Woman's Home Misstonary Society Hear About Alaska, DR. JACKSON MAKES AN ADDMESS ON THE CONDI- N OF THE INDIAWR—A CALL MADE ON MRS. HAREISON—FROGRAM FOR TOMORROW. The Woman's Home Micsionary Society con- tinued its session this morning at Foundry Church. This session of the society is spe- cially attractive, both on account of the high standard of the debates and reports and from the personality of the women in attendance. At the session can be found many of the ladies whose names have been identified with nearly every noble, charitable movement inaugurated in thiscountry for many years. The personality of the presiding officer of teresting one. Mrs. Davis, the president, rules over the assembly with a firm hand, and y by her ploasant method of decisons escapes all the friction so often en- countered. Mrs. Davis is a resident of Cincinnati and has long been an cnergetic worker in Chris and philanthropic work. She has for many yours been « meiber of the board of mangers of the Children's Orphan Home and president of the Woman's Christian Association. So- cially Mra. Davis is beloved by all who come in contact with her. Her husband, an eminent physician, died tast winter. From the organ- ization of the W.-H. M. 8. Mra Davis bas steadily been clected vice president. Since the death of Mrs. Hayes ehe has served as president. TODAY'S BUSINESS. The session this morning was opened by de- ercisos by Mrs. F. J. Wagner, after which the minutes were read and adopted aud interesting reports received from several cou- | ference corresponding secretaries. ‘The work | of receiving reports from the different burenus was then commenced. dit Daggett, from the burenu of Alaska, gave an instructive | and hopeful report from thiv bureau. She | asked for help for a continuation of the good work. ‘The report was followed, by request, by a talk from Rev. Dr. Jackson on the esme sub- ject. Dr. Jnckson in ono of the men! who has ‘devoted bis life to work | among the Indians in Alaska and his remarks carry as inuch weight ax those of «ny other Pomible min Dr. Jackson said it had long een his earnest prayer ty interest the Meth- odist women in work among the Indians in Alaska. ‘he condition of the race there was truly deplorable.

Parents expect their children to kill them when they become old and feeble. Dr. Jack- son said people had said that such a people were untractable and the better they were swept off the face of the earth the sooner, but the responsibility could not be evaded in such amanner. Dr. Jackson then gave jllustra- tions to show that the Indians were exceed- ingly accessible to the word of Christ. ‘The ople were ready and waiting. Many of them dd been waiting for yoars and in the darkness were groping out for the light. Dr. Jackson yas exceedingly happy in the illustrations he used to muke wore striking his remarks. 4 $1, 1891—SIXTEEN -PAGES. polifan Mra. C. B. Fisk will preside and ad be made by Mra.

Inspector General Breckinridge has sub- | mitted his aynual report to the Secretary of | War. The work of inspecting the National | Gaard encampments,the report says,was never 80 completely accomplished as during the past year. For inspecting the encampments fitty- campiments were held in tw and territories, twenty-one states and ter- ritories having no organized militia or holding no cncampments. All ® of the oneampments, for the first time, were this your visited ofticially by army officers, aud great improvement in the troops are shown by the officers’ reports. Itis safe to assume, the report says, thata substantial organization of the volunteer militia of the ration is now as- aured, and with the support from the gen government and fron: the viates themselves @lliciency will be attained a just pride and the nation reiy for its securi ‘The report also speaks of the good effect 0 the cncampment of regular troops with the militia. Gen. Breckinridge also submits a report to the commynding general of the army. In this report he suggests the ac holding at Chicago, during the w encampment of the juilitia forees of the nation and collecting there as many regulars as pos: ble. He adds that we have no cause to be ashamed of our aru Speaking of the National Guard, he says the SOME OF THE DELEGATES. ‘The growth and future importance of Alaska were dwelt upon by the speaker. He described the struggle and the gradual advancement which the Methodist women had made in their great work. The desire of giris among the Indians to go into the schools was dwelt upon and the hardships which the missionaries suf- fered eloquently pictured. A large building ,was greatly needed and Dr. Jackson hoped that the society would enlarge its pluns and erect # building of a size sufficient to accommodate the great need of the mission. At the conclusion of Dr. Jackson's talk, Mrs. Davis said the work ir Alaska bad been fora considerable time close to the hearts of the society. Dr. Jackson sid the society, he knew, had been, active and helpful in the highest degree. The Methodist church itself, he said, however, had not yet awakened to the need of work in Alaska. The M. E. church had done nothing there except what had been accomplished by the society. The practical value of interesting the entire Methodist church in the schools in Alaska was pointed out by the speaker. If a great and mighty church took up the schools Congress would not be so charry about making appropriations for these sch: ‘At the close of Dr. Juckson's talk the society expressed by rising its thanks to the eloquent divine and the interest which was taken in the subject which he had so ably discussed. Sev- eral ladies made earnest uppeals for the Alaska bureau. The question of @ contribution was brought up by Mrs. Daggett, but Mrs. Willing held that in justice to all the finances of all bu- reaus should be reported on by the regular committces, The treasurer, Mrs. A. R. Clark, expressed alike opinion, which seemed to be general. Mrs. Goff, from the rear of the chureb, remarked at this’ point that probably a very nice little love feast was going on in front, but the delegates in the rear were una- ble to hear in the slightest. This brought a proposition from Mrs. Willing that the seating Uf te members be rearranged. ‘Lhe proposi- tion was referred. Mrs. J. G. Willing is one of the active and representative members of the society and is forward in all the discussions, with a clear power of debate and ringing voice. Mrs. Willing is one of the vice presidents of the society and secretary of the bureau for immigrants. She is a sister of Bishop Fowler. ‘Mr. Smith, in charge of the transportation facilities, in a few words warned the members against selling or giving away of the Seanapor- tation certificates, as they were issued only to the members personally. The society then adjourned for lunch. A CALL AT THR WHITE HOUSE. At 1 o'clock the members met at the church and proceeded to the White Houre, where a ver# cordial and pleasant reception was ten- dered by the President and Mrs. Harrison. Immediately after the reception was over cars were taken for the Mount Vernon boat and the remainder of the afternoon spent in a visit to the historic grounds of Mount Vernon. ‘This evening there will be a mecting of the commit- tees at Foundry ‘Chare! tomdnnow's PROGRAM.

PEDRO MONTT’S ADVICE. He Urges the Chileans to Adopt a Concilla- tory Policy. By Merican Cable to the New York Nerald. Saxtiaco, Curie, via Gatvestox, Trx., Oct. 90.—The Chilean authorities show no dispo tion to recede from the defiant attitude which they assumed in the an«wer to the communica- tion from the State Department at Washington in regard to the aseault on the members of the crew of the United States cruiser Baltimore. Pedro Montt, the representative of the pro- visional government at Washington, sent a cable dispatch, which wax received today, urg- ing the junta to adopta concilintory policy and to move with great caution, but his advice has apparently had no effect. NO APOLOGY FOR THE OUTRAGE. Up to date there has been no si ogy for thea ssault on the Baltimor no reply bas been made to Minister Egan's re- quest for an immediate investigation of the affair. Iam at a loss to account for the actions of some of the clear-headed Chileaus in show: ing such a non-conciliatory disposition in this matter execpt on the presumption that they are influenced by ignorant advisers or are dis- posed to give way to popular clamor. While the American and other toreiy dents fully realize the gravity of the and are fearful of other and perhaps graver compheations, the Chilean public appear to have no conception of it. Beyond the meager facts which have been published in the loca ‘epee they are, as a rule, ignorant of what as occurred Much surprise is felt here among the Ameri- cans that the San Francisco has not joined the Baltimore at Valparaiso. BIGGIN SHOT BY A POLICEMAN. Several foreigners who witnessed the recent fight are ready to testify that Boatswain's Mate Riggin, the only man who was kilied out- right in the fight, was shot by a policeman. papers studiously refrain irom com- menting on the affair. ‘The tuneral of Turnbull, the man who died from the effects of wounds received in the attack, was not attended by any of the officials except an escort of polic sent to preserve order. Capt. Schley of the Baltimore has applied to the intendente of Valparaiso to protect the of- ficers and men of his ship who were obliged to go ashore on necessary business. The inten- dente replied that he was unable to give any advice relative to the Baltimore men coming ashore. He evades the question of protection altogether. Capt. Schley does not intend to cease attend- ing io his necessary shore work, even if he bas to arm and protect his own men. Feta TD An Atrocious Murder of a Pretty German. Minnie Raubauser, a pretty German girl seventeen years old, was fourd with her throat cut last night at her home, in West 67th street, New York city. An examination revealed the fact that the girl had been murdered and that acrimiuai assault had been attempted. Wm. Miller, twenty-six years old, who boarded with the Rauhnuser family, is supposed to be guilty ‘of the double crime. "He has disappeared, but the police expect to capture humju short order. Miller has lived with the family over six years and was ed by them as almost one of the family. ‘ibe Reuhauser family were, with the exception of Minnie, away on a day's visit, and of this fact Miller took auvantage. The rooms were found in great disorder, as if a fierce struggle bad ensued. —_——$oo—___—_— Yale "94 to Be Punished.
