T. U. at the home of Mra. i John .loyd Thompson, No, 211 West. One Hunted and Thirty-seventh street. Al- thougi the session was a secret one the wmen are so enthusiastic they can- not rerain from speaking of the work | before :hem. Feelig that the task is too great for the, the West Harlem branch has @etermied to ask the co-operation of other V. C. T. U, and kindred organtza- tions inthe city, and @ combined méet- | ing willbe held next Wednesday night | in the Calvary Methodist Church, Seventhavenue and One Hundred and ‘Twentyrinth street. “We hve taken ip the work of driv- ing theMormon elders from the city,” eaid Mn Franois A, Westerfield; Presi dent ofthe West, Harlem branch, to- watchwrd, It will be no éasy' unden- taking + accomplish our aim, and we wilisne@ the aid of every Christian worker 4 the city. Especially the Har- Jem worn must Join us. “Our pins I do not want to discuss, for they e,not fully made, but the meeting, Txt Wednesday night — will bring out many new points. The effort is a etermined one and will not be allpwedto die. One of our firat efforts willbo an attempt to exclude the Mormoy from their meeting place in Hawthoie Halil, in One Hundred and Twentyifth street.” Mrs, Darin R. James, president of the Interdebminational Council of Wo- men for Cristian and Patriotic. Ser- vice, preseis a new phase of the In- fluence of te Mormons in ‘New York. Not Jess digerous than tho distribu- tion of ltrature among the young girls of Ham are the hypnotic powers and the dilful eyes of the young tiders sentfrom the West. These hailsome young men are se- fected for he work because of their ‘ppearance,she says, and are espect- ally instrue:d in the ovult science. M James saysthe work of women lec- turers whoare fighting the ‘advance of Mormonim is greatly hindered by these younj elders. She has received many lettet from lecturers in the fleld complaining that a Mormon elder ts always in ie front row, never taking his uyes frm the speaker. At the Mrmon headquarters, No, 213 West One Mundred and Thirty-ftth street, toray Rev. J. G. MocCarrle stated that'the attack upon the Mor- mo} missiojary work was so old a mat- teras to amusing. “ke a maiter of act,” sald Mr. McCar- rie, "there fy no excuse whatever for thi sudden hysterical outburst of the wie.

McCarrio will give an address on the Mormon religion. “Next Sunday we will have special services,” said Rev, McCarrle, “for the reason that {t'ts the sabbath before the birthday of Joseph Smith and of Jesus Christ, and we will combine the two." The services will be held in the usual f meeting, Hawthorne Hall, No. it One Hundred and Twenty-ffth GAS ENDS NORDICA'. SEAMSTRESS'S LIFE French Woman, Who Said that She Worked for the Prima Jonna, Commits Suicide While Despondent. Friendless in a strange country and out of employment Nellie Rosine, a French seamstress, committed suicide in @ boarding-house at No, 106 East Nineteenth street, From remarks other boarders heard her drop during her short stay there it {s inferred that t was employed by Mme, the prima donna, dut of the city. Miss Rosine engaged a room at the boarding-house two weeks ago. She told the landlady. Mrs. Decker, that she was employed in making frocks for prinol- pals in the Metropolitan Opera Company nd that she bad worked in France and places abroad for Mme.

We are doing our best to relieve these camilies, and The Evening World's splendid charity is a very materal aid. ‘The 1,000 dinners ‘a: be put 1,000 baskets, and cach Ber wumttentt a fam i y Daaket ‘will. contain. four “pounds ot chicken, a can of soup, a loaf of bread, & pound of eweet cakes, a quart of Potatoes, a plum pudding, one-feurth pound of coffre, one-half pour of a can of string beans and a quart ‘of white onions, The baskets will be distributed to tho families for whom they are intended on Christmas Eve with The Evening World's beat wishes for @ merry Christ- mas and a happy New Year.
