The rain affected tendance somewhat, but never- theless it was a good sized congrega- tion to which Miss Butler spoke. The service was led by the pastor, Rev. F. W. Coleman, who offered prayer after the opening hymns and the read- of the scripture lesson. ‘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 50 as {o 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 vaim. The school only occupled three-quarters of the by and the ,other quarter was 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 conld gain easy access to the mission schiool. : Mexicans Angered by Arrival of Marines. After the American marines had Ianded 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 her 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- rlous homes in the city where they would be comparatively safe at least temporarily. -4 Doctor Gave Her Help. Miss_Butler, with two American young ladies were unable to find safe- ty anywhere as they were afraid to g0 to hotels or to show themselves in the streets, feeling was running so bigh. At last one of the leading phy- sicians in the town offered her the use of his home at the risk of losing all he possessed if the Mexicans had known of his action. By the third day after the capture of Vera cruz it became assured that the marines were not going to invade their city so_they returned to the school Telegrams continued to_arrive for Miss Butler uring her and the other IN THE TRAIL OF EUROPE’S GREAT WAR. Rev. E, C. Tullar Gave Lecture at Y. M. C. Meeting. An illustzated lecture, Tn the Trail of Europe's Great War, was ably pre- sented. before 2 gcod sized gathering aat the men’s meeting in the Y.

After the singing of the open- ing_hymns, the recital of the Shep- herd’s Psalm and prayer by Amos A. Browning the chairman of the the re- ligious work committee, Rev. Mr. Tullar was introduced by Rev. Joel B. Slocum, D. D., pastor of the Central Baptist_church. Rev, Mr. Tullar was one of a party of 17 who left New York early last summer and who intended to visit Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and other European countires but were unable to fol'low out their plans owing to the cutbreak of the war. They lateg joined a largor company o tourists. Rev.

After carrying hi saudience to the various cities, villages, etc., he vis- ited in Norway and Sweden showing them glimpses of the beautiful scen- ery, the royal palace at Chsistiana, the’ steamer on which they made thc trip and typical houses, he then took them to the land of the midnight sun and Hammerfest, the most northern town in the worid. Views shown in- cluded Laplanders, the midnight sun and glaciers. Rev. Mr. Tusfar later showed views of German cities and other points i Europe. He also told of the various experiences he went through in-his efforts to zet out of Copenhagen after the var had been declared. A free will offering was taken and the service concluded with the singing of a hymn. Next Sunday, by special request, and for men ouly, Rev. Charles H. Rick etts, pastor of the Greeneville Con- gregational church, will give his talk on Blind Alleys, and music wiil be furnished by an orcchestra. Sunday afternoon at 230 o'clock Rev.

Damage at Fort Michie e Repairs made necessary by the re- cent storm were begun at Fort Michie, Gull Island, Fridgy. The high seas had washed away a large portion of the pier and a small building used in construction work. A new floating caisson which will cost $2,200 will be used to put the damaged pier in shape.

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 25 officlals with ten soldiers to. the school to ask her what she meant by remaining at the mission alone. If happaned that when the soldiers and officials Ird'fl'.d dm they met an American the door. This American, who had been to see Miss Butler on busimess 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 conspiracy was hatehing upstairs in 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 the hiding place of the Americans and ‘were not at all satisfled 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 for 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 she was_standing by and by chance she touched a box of matches. Immediate- 1y lighting a candle she convinced the soldiers that she had nothing to hide from them and had nothing to do with the extinguishing of the lights so_her left was spared.

Miss Butler remained at the mission as lonig as there was need for her ser- vices and then being advised to leave she did so, disguised as a Mexican woman. Miss Butler also spoke of the won- derful work done in a Chinese prov- ince by @ native woman who had studied in a Methodist medical school and of how her fame spread throush- out the entire province, carrying with it the story of Christ and the gospel She closed her address with an earn- est prayer. ACCUSED TWO MEN. OF INSULTING HER. Mrs. Nettio Clark’s (Accusation Made Exciting Times on Franklin Square. On-the complaint of Mrs. Nettie Clark, wife of Frederick Clari, of No. 93 Fourth street, that they had insuit- 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 beinz led away {o 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. BIBLE CLASS SOCIAL AT Y. M.
