Young Mackey, the crack man of the Chicago city lengue, went to Leavenworth yesterday, and will probably play with the Omaha's to-day. The proposed transfer by which O’ Leary will Ko to the National league, as already men- tioned in these columns, has been practically arranged. Instead of going to Chicago, a3 was at first stated, O'Leary will be signed with the Indianapolis team and Omaha will get Larry Corcoran in exchange. Corcoran pitched great ball in the Southern league last year, and is doing good work now. The management of the Indianapolis te is stuck on O'Leary, hence the proposed ex- change. The negotiationsyare still pending between the management of the Omaha tean and the Chicago's for Flynn’s release and transfer to Omaha. With Corcoran, Flynn and Healy the Omaha team would be inshave 0 win some games, as the team is the equal of any In the league outside of the pitcher’s box.

Crouse, Chicago; corresponding secretary, Mrs. M. (. Burdette, Chicag tocording secretary, Mrs. 1L Thane Miller, Cincinnati; treasurer, Mrs. R, R. Donnelly, 'ago, and twenty-six vice presidents. The Baptist Pubiication society held its first session this morning and the usual standing committees were appointed. Dr. Goodman presented the report of the board of managers. e called attention to the supplemental report announcing a defalca- tion of over 30 by two bookkeepers and subsequent, very ot part of the money. The shortage had been re- duced to 822,000, and possibly may be reduced to €20,000. ‘The report continued: “The gross receints for the year in all departments are $624,110.43, ‘The busi- ness shows an increase of 847,644.89 over last year and $174,654.19 over the average of the ast ten years. in the missionary depart- ment the gross receipts are $5,054,60 less than Iast year, mainly because of the diminshed receipts from churches, schools and individ- uals of 87.505.45 whilst 84,658.85 more was paid this year for missionary work at home and $78,614 less for foreign work. The bible departiient receipts are S11,510.63 less than last year, 'I'he receipts are entire insuflicient work.

Opening of What Promises to, Be a Sensational Cnse. CincAGo, May 25.--The last man of the twelve who are to try the county “boodlers” was secured this morning, and immediately upon the jury being sworn General Stiles made the opening address for the prosecu- tion, ‘The Introduction of the first witness for the state caused a sensation. It was no other than Ni hueider, the contractor who has becn missing ever since the boodle investigation began some four months ago. He has been under detective care all this time. Schneider was prompt and direct in his testimony relating how En- gineer McDouald ot the county hospital b secured him a boodle job on the same condi- tions as other contractors were getting. Forty per _cent of the preceeds had to e paid to ‘‘square” Warden MecGarigle, besides several commissioners, ‘I'en of Schneider’s bills through the county board, the first one for 1,500 being paid before a paritcle of work had been done. While Schneider was testifying a scene was caused by an apparent attempt on the part of McDonald, the noted litican and ex-gambler, and brother of Engineer MbDonald, to catch the informer’s eye. State's Attorney Grinnell quietly warned him to desist or he would be publicly de- nounced and ejected from the court. s i) The Union Pacific Pool. BosToN, May 25.—The Union Pacifie in- vestigation was resumed to-day. Frederick L. Ames testiied that he was formerly a stockholder In the Unfon Pacilic rallway. “Jay Gould was instrumental in buying up the Kansas Pacific securities in 1876. 1 owned no securitics that entered into that pool. Irecelved two certificates for $50,000 each. I have not these In my possession now. ‘They were turned over to somebody. These certiticates were probably issued to every member of the pool. Ithink I paid $100.000 to the Farmers’ Loan & Trust company.” Mr. Ames then testified as to the manner in which the business of the pool was con- ducted, & copy of the consolidated mortgage being introduced in evidence. ‘L do not re- member,” he said, ‘‘that I ever contributed the $353,000 funding bonds named in this mortgage. was_a director in the Kansas Paciiic road in 1879, 1 cannot explain why the bonds were lssued to Persons having claims against the road at a rate which would ngrefm its indebtedness more than ,000,000, ['do not remember that in 1580 82,050,000 of preferred stock was Issued to Jay Gould at 75 when the bonds were worth 94." Idonot know how the Kansas Pacific camo to be Indobted to Jay Gould for 82,000,000 at this date. All ‘the directors were 'In favor of consolidation except Jay Gould. The final consummation was reached at his house, AFWH was signed by all present, ‘I'he basis of consolidation was $50,000, »” Anglo-Turkish Convention. LONDON, May 25.—The Anglo-Turkish convention relative to Egypt provides for the maintenance of all existing firmans, the neu- tralization of the Suez canal, guarantees in- ternationally the inviolability of Egypt, that the British shall withdraw from Fgypt in three years unless the country is threatened with danger, either internal or external; that tingland shall, after the withdrawal of her troops supervise the whole Egyptian army for the further two years with the right to re- oceupy, with or without ald, it order is dis- turl or invasion feared. Eugland and Turkey jointly invite the powers to adhere to'the convention and proposed modii- catlons of the capitalations. Certain branches of the Exyrtlln administration will be os- ially settied without fresh discussion. All he powers except Russia co-operate with England to expedite a settlement. England made every possible concession to arrive at an understandineg with Turkey. ‘I'he con- tinzency of eventual military movements by way of tho Suez canal will form the subject forfuture discussion. The copvention was recelved with favor in all quarters at Con- stantinople. e Black Hills Raiiroad.

Those Terrible Tramps, CLEVELAND, May 95.—This morning twenty tramps boarded a freight train near Dent, 0., and helped themselves liberally to fruit and provisions with which the cars were loaded. At Kent the engineer ran the train on a siding and the local police officers cap- tured seven of the tramps. The others took to their heels. Later on the remainder of the party attacked and overpowered the crew 08 a local train at Kent. ‘They climbed into abox car and were locked up by the con- ductor.

BERLIN, May 25,—The anviversary of the battles of 1570 around Metz will be celebrated this with ui al_ecl; il i TR i Yo TALKING FOR THE HEATHEY, The Presbyterians Consider the Needs of Home and Foreign Missions. THERE ARE MILLIONS IN IT The Assembly Goes to Lincoln Satur- day—Missionaries Descrive Life Among the Lowly in the India and in Other Climes, The Presbyteriana. Dr. Marquis, from the committee on bills and overtures, read the substance of a number of overtures from different presbyteries. Some were acted upon while others were referred to certain committees. One of these was from the presbytery of Cincinnati, suggesting that the constitution be soamended as to giye the assembly power to establish other boards if found necessary, but not with- out the consent of a majority of the presbyteries. Dr. Patterson wanted tho subject placed on the docket for future consider- ation, on the ground that it warranted more careful attention. Dr. Marquis held that the merits of the question could not here be determined; that those should be brought out in the presbyteries. Dr. Childs held that that wasa mis- tako, and too frequently had matters been referred to the presbyteries without having at all been considered by the as- sembly, and these subjects had gone to the presbyteriesiapparently with the ap- proval of the assembly, which gave to them a false importance, These subjects ought first to be considered in the as- sembly. Dr. Marquis said that Dr. Patterson held that the assembly was the fountain of ;mwnr, he did not. Dr. Patterson dis: the assembly to power . l:r. Patterson’s motion to defer was os! aimed that he held be the fountain of The order of the day was then called and cut oft further action, At the request of Dr. Marquis, the re port of the committee on bills and over- tures, adopted yesterday, wus referred to the joint committee. ‘The subjoct of the report was unity between the churches of different denominations. Mr. Harsha, chairman of the commit- tee on arrangements, obtained the tloor for a moment to say that, in courtesy to the citizens of Hastings and Lincoln, the sembly ought to determine whether it would elect to accept the invitation of those cities on Saturday. If accepted. the expenses would be borne by the i zens of both towns, If the assembly de- cided tospend only the afternoon,itcould goonly to Lincoln. To goto Hastings “l"d Lincoln would require the whole day. Dr. Stewart moved the invitation to n for the afternoon be accepted. arks, of Kansas, moved that the stated clerk be authorized to tender the thanks of the assembly to the citizens of both places, and state that the duties of the commissioners would not allow them to accent the invitation. Dr. Jackson, of Alaska, said that if the members worked hard all the week until Friday night, without taking recreation on Saturday, they would be so tired as not to be able to worship on Sunday. Besides, the commissioners had not seén the great interior plains of the country, and he remembered when St. Louf after one assembly, had sent the del gates on an excursion to Denver, and that that excursion strengthened the church in the mountaims. Aa excursion now to Lincoln and Hastings would have a similar effect. Dr. Hays said before voting upon the matter, “he would like to hear from the treasurer of the assembly. The chair then insisted upon_the order of| the day which shut of further consideration, ‘The order was the report of the com mittee on foreign missionary board. The report was read by Dr. Hayden. It showed that during the year eight mis- sionaries had died.” The progress of the missions in Japan was remarkable. That country was the light of the nineteenth century. There was there a yearly in- crease of converts of 35 per cent. The gns‘)el was us welcome as the light of civilization. In foreign mission’s during the last quarter of a century the presby- terian church was second 1n success among those working in the field, To Africa they owed a debt which should be paid as early as possible. Siam was theirs by a gift of providence. The board had been in debt, the arrears being about ,000 and at one time it hnfi been 83,000. But the weok of prayer came, and the missions were remembered. The debt was expunged. The need for next year would not be less than $1,000,000, which would represent but three cents ver week per capita, Dr. Ellingwood, secretary of the mis- sionary board said the appropriation for the year had been but $715,000 but they had received $784,000. This was an ex- cellent showing for the close of the firat half century of the existence of the board. This had not been done by means ot special gifts or bequests. - The bulk of it had come from the body of the chirch. The Sunday school donation during the year had increased $15,000, while that of the women had increased $24,000, ‘Wil- liam Rankin, the aged and trusted treas- urer of the board, after a stewardship of thirty-seven years, was about to lay down his office. He had often smitten the rock for pecuniary support, and now felt that he had more than caught a sight of the promised land. He did this after andling, during the year, not less than three-quarters of a million of dollars. Durmg his incumbency he had managed about $18,000,000, and in the same time had contributed one-fourth of his salary to the collections, amounting to $36,000. They had now thirty-four missions in seventeen different countries. They had 500 missionaries from this country, 289 native mission- aries, with teachers in different grades swelling the number of their dependants t0 1,500. The board owned hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of churches, schools, academies, colloges, all property held by the association for the uses of the heathen, and as a showing of the first half-century’s work of the bonrd of for- eign missions, For next year, $1,000,000 were asked for, Dr., Chatturjee, of India, was next in- troduced. Dr. Ellingwood said that the former’s name was fiivan by his mother, was that of the goddess of destruction, whose symbols was a string of skulls. The doctor was realizing the idea of the name by dealing destruction to idolatry in the name of Jesus Christ. Dr. Chai- turjee is a tall, pleasant looking gentle- man, with ranlur features,swarthy face, ron-gray hair and a flowin, bunrl{ He dresses in a long black robe like a priest's cassock. His voleo is low, but able, He speaks English with but a slight accent, and with excmdinfi ease, making use of classical words and turn- infihh sentences with skill and grace. o said the thanks of the Christians of Isndh were due to the people of the United States, and especially to the Pres- byterians. They had been the recipients of many favors from the British, under whose government they were, but they had received no such kindness from them as they had from the Americans. He held that there was no reason why Americans should be disheartened. India ‘was a country 1,900 miles long and 1,800 miles wide, with a population of 263,- 10000,000. "l‘luu. were three different races, the Kalarian, the Klavidian and Manyan, each of which inbabited & sec- ! These were divided s, the Hindoos and the former, there tion of the countdy. into two larger ol Mohammedans. "0 were about 170,000,000, and of the latter, but 40,000,8000 The first mission- aries were those who arrived in the coun- try in 1813, the néxt were those from the United States in t434 when Dr. Lowery was in charge, 4853 there were but three missions in the country. Now, with that enormous tract of land they had less than sixty misdionaries. When the missionaries went tifere firet they had to do all kindsof wark. They were com- pelled to translate, the bible into the native tongues, and, then carry on the work by meang of direct preaching to the people, condudting schools and prac- ticing medicine. Later, the press was being utilized and found to be an in- valuable aid. The means utilized at the present time were about the same. he number of converts in the country now was about two thousand five kundred, about one thousand one hundred of whom are communicants. The greater part of these are from the lower classes, possibly one-sixth only being from the upper classes. There are now twenty ordained missionaries of the natives. One native prince had been converted and was now leading a prac- tical christian lifo. “1he had also con- verted three subordinate magistrates, one barrister and two or three pleaders. Caste was one of the greatest obstacles in the way of conversion. It divided the population into two classes. One of these classes might think, feel, act as it would, provided it have no intercourse with the other one. Nevertheless, there was a levelling process going on which is being gradually recognized.” Young men who were educated under foreign influences are ashamed to bow down before 1dols, and wdolatry is dying away. The Hindoo who acknowiedges Christianity suffers a social death, because it separates from him all who had previously been his associates. Seven years, ago one of that class was converted,and immediately he was abandoned by his family. For several years, however, he continued to pray, and but recently his family re- ented, rejoined him and now all of them were living happily together. Another case was found where the sons of a widow, who had acknowledged Christianity, were driven by her from home. She was unrelenting, and the young men were carea for, one of them going into one of the colleges. Yet, te was _gradually loosing its force, as was also Pantheism, which~ was one of the essentials .of Brahmanism. The doctor felt that the assembly had noreason to feel discour- aged with the work in India, and urged it to renewed effort in the matter of re- claiming that land. Dr. Rankin, the retiring _treasurer of the foreign missionary board, was called upon for a few remarks by the moderator. The doctor said that it ‘was time for a man's obituary to be written after his death. He was still treasurer of the board and would be for a year. All let- ters connected with that office should be directed to him. It was evident that the ed gentleman dué‘nnt relish the 1dea of being superseded’ He then detailed an account of his\visit to some of the Indian missions twenty-nine years ago, among them being those of the Otoes and Omahas, At that tirhe the mission house of the latter was located at Bellevue. That has since been destroyed and the Indians have beer 'moved ‘morth. The Presbyterian board was the first to own land in Nebraska, bacause in those days no white man who: was not married to a squaw, held a foot of land in this state while the mission boyrd owned 640 acres. Dr. Wherry, of China,. then made a warm speech in whith he showed that the appropriation, even 1,000,000 to which it was to be raised, was miserably small, when considéred in the light of the four billions of Présbyterian proverty which was to be taxed. "It did not repre sent one dollar in "$4,000. He then re- ferred.to Dr. Atterbury’s hospital in Pe- kin, which had not cost the assembly more than about one hundred dollars,the rest having been raised by the mission- aries and their friends, and the institu- tion would be supported by the gentle- man after whom it was named, whe re- sided in New York. The woman's pa- yilion in that hospital had not_cost the assembly a cent, being endowed by Miss Dow, of Albany. He closed with arefer- ence to the magnitude of the work, with 865,000,000 of human beings to save, whioh would require 1,000 years to ac- complish even it the daily”conversions amounted to 1,000. ‘The report of the committee adopted. An overture was read, from the pres- bytery of Idaho, that the proper ofiicers in Washington should be seen to secure a grant of 160 acres for a school to be under the direction of the Presbyterian church m the reservation of Umatilla. Adopted. Judge Ewing again called up the mat- ter of the inyitation toLincoln and moved that it be accepted. Dr. Marquis amended to accept the in- vitation for Tuesday, after the close of the session, instead of Snurdn{ Rev. Henry E. Niles, from the special committee on ministerial relief, ap- pointed at the last assembly, reported that because of the death of some mem- bers and the absence of others it had been impossible to come together for & confer- ence. He asked thatthe committee be discharged, and the same was ordered. A vote was taken upon the Tuesday ex- cursion and the motion prevailed, ¥ Rey. Mr. Harsha said that the invita- tion for Tuesday had been withdrawn, A motion was then made to reconsider and go on' the excursion Saturday, It was claimed that the governor had post- poned a certain appointment to be en- abled {o meet the assembly on that day. Dr. Hayes wanted the treasurer to be heard from before the vote would be taken. Several members objected, that the assembly could not conscientiously 0 on & junketing tour, at an expense to the presbyteries of $1,000 per day, when they were sent here to work. Others held that the presbyteries would not begrudge the excursion if they worked well during the rest of the ussembly. ¥ The motion to reconsider was carried. A noisy talk, in which half a dozen took part, here occurred. The question was called for and thotions quite numer ous were shot at the moderator. On motion of Dr. Marquis, the session was extended five minutes. A commissioner on the stage moved an amendment that the invitation to Lin- coln on Saturday afternoon be accepted. I'he moderator put l!s%quesuon,duc ared was it carried, but a aumbr of delegates said they didn’t understand the question, Another amendment'to go to Hastings, was wade and put to the house and lost. Another vote on the trip to Lincoln was taken and declared carried. Recess. g Yesterday Afternoon. ‘The afternoon s Bh-opened promptly at 2:30 o'clock, the nu‘)denlor being in the chair. g Dr. Marquis, froni‘the committee on bills and overtures, reported an overture requesting an uniformity in marriage laws. No action was suggested, Over- tures from Dayton and other places were received for the use of the revised ver- sion of the bible. To both of these, the committee reported that the version was still upon trial and that the committee was not prepared to either recommend or condemn the same. One from Wash- ington, regarding the transfor of the jurisdiction’ of one church from thau presbytery to that of Catawba. The te- port was adopted. Dr. Hays then announced the resigna- tion of Dr. Allison a8 a member of the board of missions for freedmen. On mo- tion, the same was adopted. It was also agreed that the selection of his successor should be left to the committee on the freedmen’s board. Dr. Hays then moyed that the meeting on temperance, -called for Friday night be dispensed with, and that the special order for that night be the majority and minority reports ot the committee on {\nli('l:\r_y on the protest of the Rev. Mr, nird against the action of the I‘n'slvf- terian synod of Pennsylvania in uphold ing the prohibitory amendment to the state constitution during one of the late canvasses. The report of the standing committes on theological seminaries showed that there were thirteen theological institu- tions, two of which were devoted to the training of German youth for the minis try. All the seminaries, so far as they had been heard from, were in & prosper- ous condition, though no report had been received from either Lincoln or Biddle uni ities. There were 318 students added to the rolls this year, being an in- crease of twenty-three over that of last year. The increase in the number of graduates was thirty-eight, and in the total number of students ninety-one. Five seminaries reported a deficit, that of Union and MecCormick being especially large, and caused by an en- tire change in the manner of investment 50 us to utilize to greatest advantage the realty owned by the institutes, At Princeton seventy students had entered for ministerial study and preparation. Union seminary was especially prosper- ous in the increase of students, Anburn, t0o, being successful, havin, increase of the same of twenty per cent over that of lastyear. In McCormic seminary the spirit of sanctification was nlnmdf no- ticeable in the number of her students who were desirous of becoming minis- ters. In San Francisco the offer of a do- nation of $30,000 from a citizen of Oak- land had resulted in a great series of do- nations of $100,000 from all the chusches on the coast toward benefitting the insti- tution. The schools in Newark and Du- buque had each reccived a donation of 26,000. The Germans were doing well in the management of their several institu- tions, although they needed a great deal of assistance. An overture was then read asking for the appointment of a chair in all the seminaries for the systematic study of the English bible. The committee "did not recommend such a chair, but, while acknowledging the necessity of a more systematic knowl- -edge of the bible, suggested that each of the seminaries pay more attention to the subject 1n the future. Rev. Mr. Schuellte said there were 110 German missionaries 1n the east and west, and they had 150 German churche These were regular blue-stocking Pre: byterians, from head to foot. And yet, they were not satistied. They needed money to educate German young men, and it was necessary to have Germans, well educated ones, too, to earry on the work. ¥or this purpose they required ?!00.000, and that is all they would ask, f that amount should be given them, they would show the board what a great deal of work could be done among the Germans. The Lincoln excursion again came, a vote being a third time taken, finally settling the question that the assembly will go to Lincoln on next Saturday afternoon, there being but four votes in the negative. The judiciary committee declined to take action in the dispute, as mentioned in an overture, between J. D), Carlisle and the synod of Pennsylvania. The records ot the last assembly were ordered bound. Kranklin L. Sheppard, from the com- mittee on Sunday school publications, seid that an indebtedness of $24,511 should awaken every Presbyterian to re- move that burden. Colporteurs had been reduced as a consequence of the debt and the number of the publications had to be diminished. There were now sev- enteen colporteurs engaged and these had distributed 87,366 volumes, 22,941 Sab- bath school papers, 3,004,419 tracts, and visited 55.‘355‘ families. Three thousand six hundred and seven churches had re- fused to contribute. The total receipts were $211,637.87. All this business had been carried on at a loss of but $112 for bad debts. Judge Wilson spoke on the report. Dr.(Vorden was called on to speak, but said that as he had already spoken in the hall a few evenings ago he would not now say anything further, preferring to wait till next year when they might have some better Sunday school work to speak about. The report of the special committee on the eligibility of the ruling elder to the position of moderator was unfavorable to a change of the rules necessary to ef- fect such & change. It was based upon the vote of the presbyteries, forty-six be- ing in the atirmative and 119 in the neg- ative. The same committee reported on an overture introduced at the Iast assembly, touching the annulment of section 4, chapter 24 of the “‘standards,’’ which re- lates to degrees of consanguinity in mat- rimony. The amendment sought in the overture was the striking out of the words: No man shall marry any of his wife’s rela- tions nearer than his own, and no woman shall marry any of her husband’s relatives nearer than her own. This clause means that no man shall mdrry the sister of bis deceased wife, and no womsin the brother of her de- ceased husband. This overture was sent down to the different presbyteries, and answers as follows were received: In favor of the striking out, 155, and opposed 1t, eleven presbyteries. The report of the committee was adopted. Permanent Clerk Moore said that he did not think that the assembly had accom- lished what it intended to accomplish, @ held that if, under the section as it stood before the action was taken, it was impossible for a man to marry his de- coased wife's sister, it was not less possi- ble for him to do so since the amend- ment. On motion of Dr. Cameron, the subject was recomitted to the same conmittee to see if it ware not possible to have some action suggested by. which the object of the church might be secured. A commissioner moved that the dea- cons be preferred as members of boards of trustees, Carried. On motion of George Shields, the elec- tion of E. R. Craven, of Newark, as seo- retary of the board, was unanimously adopted . On motion of the same gentlemen, the board of publication was authorized to take steps to have the corporation name of the trustees of the Publication society corrected 8o as to be in accord with that already adopted by the assembly. The committee on polity of the church stated it was not prepared to endorse all the ideas advanced in the report of the committee on peace and arbitration, and recommended that no further action be taken opon the subject. Adopted. An overture was acknowledged from Pittsburg relating to the disposition of property of churches which have gone out of existence; another oyerture askin, as to who should take charge of church property where the church has become extinct. On both of these the committee recom. mended that where the lnws of the state in which the ‘pruner( 18 located do not forbid, that the presbytery take the man- agement of the property. ~ They also rec- ommend that the matter be referred to a committee consisting of two ministers and three elders to report at the next as- sembly. An overture from West Chester, relat- ing to the eligibility of elders, to sit in presbyteries and synods as elders, pro- vided they be legally urpointcd was re- ported upon unfavorably and the report was adopted. An overture fromthe synod of the At- lantic asking for the division of the same into two synods, the dividing line being that betweeu North and South Carolina, was recommended. Tt was decided to eall the new synod Catawba, and to hold the first session on November 1. An overture from Rochester presbytery asked if the laws of New York empow- ered trustees to dispose of the property of defunct ohurches by the action of the truste The committee reported that the que tion was one relating to civil and not ec- clesiastical law and that the proper place to tesi it was in the civil courts. Adjourned till to-day at 9 o'clock. Mission Mcoting. Last night thero was an audienco of about 2,000 people in the exposition building, in attendance upon the meeting in the interest of the forcign mission of the Presbyterian church. Dr. Addison Henry of Philadelphia presided. He said he did not know he had been selected for the y ion but he stated that he had years ago, when he was appointed minister of the church oyer which he now presides, acted on one of the home missions of the association. he first gentleman introduced was the Rev. Mr. Gosheen, of India. He referred to the earlicst missions in India, and incidentally substantiated all that the Rev. Mr. Chaturjee had said about them in the morning’s session of the as- sembly. He nh-flirwho confine himself to the section of India in which he had operated. “When I arrived upon the scene, id, “‘one of the three mis- sionaries dead. Another had lost his mind. Myself and my wite reached the place after a drive through the country, during twenty- hours of wh my wife had not tasted water, o never rellied from the deprivation, and two years later died. When we reached the place the brethren burst out into tea they welcomed v We met with v great obstacles, in The Brahmins vor?‘ self.suflicient, self-opinionated They are noted for their bonsted spirituality. You may, perhaps, remem- ber Mr. Goshee, who visited this country acouple of years ago. He was one of this class. A'short time after he com- menced to work in this country, I re- ceived a letter from him in_which he stated that he had done all he could against our missionaries because my wife and my: had succeeded in con- verting his wife. In India, we were sub- mitted to every indignity from these Brahmins. Once when I was preaching in the streets to a large audience of the lower caste, one of these Brahmins hired aman to come up and assault me, to knock off my hat and threaten me if [ did not stop preaching that stufl, “On another oceasion, I was invited to visit some of the schools which were then under the conduct of natives. I told two of my Indians who were engaged as ‘teachers under me, of the invitation, and asked them to accompany me to the school. When I had entered I found that my native friends were not with me. 1 looked around and tound that they were peeking around the corner of the en- traace. Itold the man who had invited me that my friends were outside and he said: “Those men are of a lower cast and if L associate with them, they will defile me.’ I told him that they and I were of the same class, and if they could defile I must also defile, and looked around for my hat. But he excused himself and finally brought into the school the men who had come along w me. “‘Once when 1 was preaching in my chapel, a Brahmin jumped up and said: ‘T'he man is a liar; thore is no God.” I told him to =it down and asked him to come and see me after the services were over. But hedidn'tcome. Next Sunday I hoped that the mau would be present. 1 preached upon the text, for his benefit, ‘The fool says in his heart, there is no God.” He was present, and after the ser- mon was over he came to me, and with a smile, which meant that he knew I had referred to him, said he would bea friend of mine. “The most interesting feature of our work 18 the educational work. I wish you could see those dark faces lighted up with intelligence of the of the word of God. Sometimes those little pcople come to us naked, We gather them in our schools, put teachers over them and teach them the bible and the catechism. If they cannot pass in these, we do not go any further for the time. On Sunday we gatherthem around us, and if you could sce the tears that roll down their cheecks when they hear of what God has done for them, your heart would melt with sympathy. My wife has a class of seventy-five “children, and once when she asked them if they be- lieved what they were being taught, one of them said: = ‘Yes, we believe, and when wo are men we are going to be all christians.” Another one said, ‘L am a carpenter, and when I get to be a man I am going to build a temple for our God in this town." ‘1 know people tell you how much it costs to contiuue these foreign missions, and how much it costs to make conver- sion. ButIdo not behieve that Jesus Christ measures it in that way., ~ “When we received word that we would be required to cut down ‘our ex- penses 12} per cent it made us feel sad. It made us go down into our pock- ets and see what we could give oursclves. As a consequence some of the schools had to be closed. The Hindoos knew what that meant, Those schools are still closed. Wo go back, we hope to reopen them and try to keep them open for the good they can do. ‘“T'he greatest misery rests upon little girls and old women. Some of these aged people have come to me with tears in their eyes, begging for assistance, and almost at the point of death. Some of these we have been compelled to allow to die, almost at our feet, and they died hapoy, knowing that_ they had found compassion in Jesus Christ for all their sufferings when they had failed to receive from the people, after living lives of utter debasemeht. Twenty-two million of those people cry to you to-night. They abhor the idea of widownood. They are subject to indignities which 1 dare not mention here to-night. One case will perhaps suflice. A wife once heard a Brahmin doctor say in an adjoining room that her hushand could not live very long. She went out, threw herself ina well and died, rather than stand the debasement of widowhood. These mothers and sisters need our help. Iremember another instance, though of a diflerent character. The mother was the wife of a prince. Her child had died, and she sorrowed over it greatly. When the child was born the parents weighed him and gave his weight in gold to the church. My wife knew the boreaved mother and sai ‘Will you never see your chila againy’ The mother said: ‘Oh, no, never: he's burned.' My wifo re: plied: ‘Yes, we will mcet in heaven. ‘Heaven,’ tho mother exclnimed, ‘where 15 that My wife gave her the bible, The wife of the prince was intelligent. She read it. She is reading still, and it is the only thing that gives her comfort."” The speaker then detailed other ex- periences, illustrating life among the various classes of Indin.

Ellis, A VERY ATTRACTIVE MAP Showing Buffalo Oounty, Nebraska, in Admirable Style. PRINCIPAL FEATURES SHOWN, The City of Kearney—A Railroaa Cene« paperous Place—Its Big Canal--A Bright Out- look. A largo new map of Buffalo county which is displayed in the main entrance of the Millard hotel has been attracting a great deal of attention, not only from Omaha people, but from eastern tors now in the city. The map is nine feet and two inches long and four teet and ten inches wide. The work was evidently done by the skilled hand of an artist as well as of a civil engineer. At each end is a pic- torial border showing over thirty promi- nent buildings, among which are the leading business houses, churches, school houses, mills, factorics, gas works, water- works, etc., of the city of Kearney, to- ether with important statistics and - ormation. regarding Kearney and other towns in Butlalo county. The principal towns of the county are given, together with the line of road or roads upon which they are located, and their population. The map is divided into twenty-four townships, upon a scale of two inches to the mile. ‘The county has nearly 120 miles of railroad completed or in process of construction. ‘The ranches of the Ne- Land and Cattle company, T. B. C. Tillson, T, Platter and ¢ outlined, showing the size and location of each, At the bottom of the map is the Platte river, showing the numerous islands and their dimensions, as well as the raiiroad and wagon bridges across the stream. Each school house in the county is repre- sented inits proper location, and each voting precinet is numbered. This map is complete in every respect. It is to be hithographed in Chicago. To Mr. A. E. Aitken, a leading business man of l(urno,{' is due the credit for this en- terprise. He has invested $1,500 in the map, and there isno doubt that he will get his money back, as every citizen of Buffalo county who has the welfare of his county at heart will purchase a copy. Buffalo, by the way, is one of the rich- est and most prosperous counties in Ne~ brasa. It 1s located nearly in the central part of the state, on the north side of the ’latte river. Itis thirty-seven miles in length from east to west, and averages twenty-six miles in breadth from north to south, The ar the county is 000 miles, containing 57 U Pacitic railway extends the length of the county on the north side of the Platte river, on which are located the following towns: Shelton, Gibbon, Kearney, Odessa and Elm Creck. The Omaha & Republican Valley rail- road company of Nebraska follows the South Loup river through the northeast- ern part of the county, cmsxinf the Grand Isiand & Wyoming Central rail- road at the town of Nantasket. This railroad extends across the northeastern portion of the county, passing through the towns of Saint "Michael, Nantasket and Ravenna. he Omaha & Republican Valley railrond company has built a branch road from Kearney to Milldale. This line passes through Wood river val- ley, one of the most fertile valleys in the state of Nebraska. The Union Pacific has a line graded from Kearney to Calla- way, in Custer county, and is about to lay the track and put itin operation, The Missouri Pacific will in all probability be extended to Kearney this fall from Hast- ings, and the Northwestern is also head- ing for Kearney from the northeast. Buffalo county contains a population of 80,000, KEARNEY, THE COUNTY SEAT, has a population of 8,000. As shown above, it 18 an important railroad center, It has a fine system of water-works, gas-works substantial nublic school buildings, handsome churches and elegant homes, while the business buildings are solid and attrac- tive. Among the public buildings now being erected is a five-story hotel, con- structed of Colorado sandstone, Its cost will be $50,000. A large and handsome Masonic temple is also being ecrected, and numerous lirst-class business houses are Eoiug up. Kearney has three national banks, several good newspapers, and everything else that goes to muke up a aty. One of the most important enterprises undertaken by the people of Kearney is the construction of THE KEARNEY CANAL upon which $100,000 has so far been ex- pended. It is sixteen mileslong, and the point of beginning is over amile higher than the site of Kearney. The water 18 taken from the Platte and carried alon, the blufis until it reaches the top a hi near Kearney. On this hill are the res- eryoirs,from which the stream flows down into the Platte again with great power, thus supplying unlimited water power for manufactories. The Washburnes, of Minneapolis, propose to erect at Kearney an immense flouring mill_to be operated by this wator power. Be- sides its immense value for furnishing thousands of tons of crystal ice, its three - large reservoira are largely used for boating and pleasure purposes. The canal is forty feet wide and ten feet deep. 1t runs through a_rich country and can be navigated by boats capablé of trans- porting the freight of the region tribu- tary to it. There is no reason why Kear- ney should not become = large city. It eertainly holds out great inducements to the home seeker and the investor, while Buffulo county is one of the most at- tractive and productive agricultural sec- tions of Nebra Building Permits, Superintendent Whitlock issued build- ing permits yesterday as follows: George Benson, three-story brick block, Douglas and Twenty-ninth. .
