Penny-ln-the-siot machines were running again last night, just as if the police had never decreed that they we:e gambling devices. In down-town drug stores and cigar stores the old machines were surrounded by crowds of young men and boys anxious to tempt fortune on the twirl of the card wheels. The reappearance of these catch-penny gambling devices so soon after election was looked on by a good many people last night as indicating that some sort of ante-election promises had been made to druggists and cigar dealers. A feeble pretense to evade the gambling device law is made In most places. On the card posted on machines naming the odds that are paid for lucky "throws’* of the wheels, the words "No gambling allowed—you can’t lose," have been added. A pen and ink notice informs the players that if no cigars are won the player gets a stick of chewing gum for every' play and a whole package of gum with every five pennies that go into the insatiable slot. It is not the chewing gum that lures the players—it is the hope of getting a pocketful of cigars for a penny. The penny-in-the-slot machines have been regarded as one of the worst’ and most vicious forms of gambling, inasmuch as they appeal to boys. When a light was made on them some time ago they were preached against from the pulpits of a number of churches, and reformers implored the police to stop them. There was a howl from the dealers, who find them a great source of profit, and at least one man was known who retired from business when they were ordered out of the stores, declaring that he had made enough off his two machines to pay his rent on a Washington-street storeroom. An Agreil \\ Oman’s Trouble*. Mary Holly, who said she was eighty-nine years of age and had walked most of the way from Whitehall, N. Y„ was in Police Court yesterday morning charged wPh being drunk. The police found her on the streets Friday us ter noon. Her story was a pitiful one, and the court reserved sentence. The woman said she wanted to get to Terre Haute, and the court thought some way might be found to send her there.

OLD OFFICERS TO SERVE ROSTER OF CHRISTIAN HOARD OF MISSIONS RE-ELECTED. Fentnre* of Educational Work Discussed—Prof. G. P. Coler** Address— Bible Chairs in College*. The principal features of the morning session of the C. W. B. M. convention were the presentation and adoption of committee reports and an address by Rev. S. P. Coler, of Michigan, on "The Bible Chair." The church was comfortably tilled, and everyone participated with fervency in the preliminary prayer und song service, led by Mr. Coler. The first committee report was that on educational work, and it elicited a warm discussion. The education committee was composed of Mrs. J. H. Garrison, Mrs. W. S. Keene, Mrs. E. S. Lattimore, Mrs. J. H. Ford and Miss Gertie Cary. Mrs. Garrison made the report, which contained the following recommendations: "First—That the Bible chair work at Ann Arbor be continued and the work of raising funus for its endowment be prosecuted until it is placed on a permanent basis. "Second—That we co-operate with the churches in Virginia and Georgia in furnishing able and wise instructors in the Bible to give courses of lectures to the students of the universities of these States as soon as the funds will justify our doing so, and that we undertake the establishment of permanent Bible chairs in connection with these universities. "Third—ln order to encourage the raising of funds for this purpose in these States, or in any other State tor a similar purpose, we recommend that the national board be instructed to enter into an arrangement with the churches, auxiliaries and individual members of such States by which any sums of money donated for the special purpose of maintaining Bible instruction in connection with the university in their respective States or endowing Bible chairs at the seats of these universities be held sacred for that purpose; provided, however, that said sums be sent to the national treasurer of this board, which shall have supervision of the work and of the money contributed for its support. "Fourth—We further recommend that the board select and put into the field as soon as practicable a judicious and careful agent, whose business it shall be to solicit donations and bequests to the English Bible chair endowment fund. W r e recommend that Education day for the C. W. B. M. be made the occasion of acquainting our people with the nature and importance of our Bible chair work, and of pressing Its claims upon the moral and material support of our brotherhood.” BIBLE CHAIRS IN COLLEGES. This report was finally adopted after some strong expression of opposition on the part of some to the establishing of Bible chairs in any institution aside from that at Ann Arbor until the chair at the latter place was placed on a firm and permanent basis. Tho Southern delegates were particularly anxious for aid in behalf of the chair at Athens University in Georgia. The second report received was from tfie committee on missions in India, composed of Miss Ellen M. Kent, Virginia; Miss Anna Hale, Illinois; Mrs. M. E. Atkinson, Indiana; and Miss Ella M. Hoffman, lowa. The C. W. B. M. maintains missions at Bilaspur, Mahoba, Btna and Deoghur. The missionaries maintained at Beiaspur are Mary Kingsberry, Ada Boyd, Bertha F. Loiir, E. C. L. Aliller, M. D., Lillian B. Miller, M. D., Mattie W T . Burgess; at Mahoba, Mary Graybiel, Adelaide Gail Frost, Elsie H. Gordon, Rosa Lee Oxter, M. D.; at Bena, Ben Mitchell, Laura V. Mitchell, Ida Kinsey; at Deoghur, Jane Wakefield Adam, Bessie Farrar and AL Alice Spradlin. The committee’s report showed that it is desirous to provide for the return of Aliss Alary Kingsbury, who is on a leave of absence in New York, and also for the sending of Aliss Ellen M. Aladdoca, who is present at the convention, as a medical missionary to Bena. The report also said: "Another dear and consecrated girl, thoroughly equipped by medical education and endowment of health and devoted Christian spirit to supply the need at Deoghur, is here pleading to be sent to this joyous service." But there is one thing lacking to send these missionaries, and that is money. Continuing. the report said: , „ "Our general fund has been largely overdrawn. There is no money in our treasury to enable us to do this humane thing. YVhat shall we instruct our executive committee to do to meet thi3 emergency? These missionaries must be sent. Grave fears arc straining at our hearts for our dear Bessie Farrar, who, at the last word from Deoghur, was threatened with impending fever. * * * The sending out of Dr. Rosa Lee Oxter was too late to save Adelaide Frost from sinking down into the gloom of the vallev of death, but time enough to lead her back, step by step, into the glad sunlignt of life and health. , . .. ... “Will this convention decide whether Miss Kingsbury and Miss Aladdock shall go out at the expense of our already heavily overdrawn treasury, or will the special , be made in this convention to meet with that generous response that shall otherwise provide for it? Mrs. Lohr has given in the past year SIOO out of her meager salary Alattie Burgess has given SIOO out of her not too ample mean3, and word comes from Miss Boyd that the heavy expense of her home passage will be met out of her meager fuX Sisters in convention, God help us to meet this dire necessity as women worthy to be colaborers with these brave ones in India." REV. G. P. COLER’S ADDRESS. Rev. G. P. Coler, at the close of the reading of the India report, delivered his address on the Bible chair. Air. Coler’- paper was a valuable one, treating as it did the subjeot of the growth of state universities and their attitude toward Christian education, as well also as of the attitude of Christian people toward those universities. "State universities,” said the speaker, "are rapidly attaining great prominence among our institutions for higher education. Their development In the last twentyfive years has been marvelous. In the first quarter of the next century this development is likely to be still more rapid and important. The States of the Union are vying with each ether in making provision for the equipment and. enlargement of their state universities. It is hardly probable that in the next century private benevolence can long surpass, or often approach state provision for higher education- and it seems very probable that in the near future state universities will rank as the foremost of all our institutions for higher education. But whether this be true or not, the state university is here to stay, and to be a mighty factor in the developmen of our twentieh century civilization." Mr. Coler then proceeded to give a few reasons accounting for the increasing potency of the state universities. Among these reasons were that the state university is the logical outgrowth of the public school system, that it is destined to come more in favor with the people, as the recognition of it as an organic part of the school system increases; that it is calling to its faculty the ablest educators and specialists in the country, thereby extending its influence in the affairs of the State, that it is turning out thousands of graduates whose influence is great in building up the institution, and that it is growing more and more in the favor of prominent Christian people and professional men. Proceeding Air. Coler said; "Recognizing, then, that the state university Is to be a permanent and a growing power In determining our civilization, it becomes the duty of Christian people to ask themselves two questions: "1. Whether Christian influence is contributing what it should toward making the state univertUy what it ought to be. This quesion must be answered in the negative. "2. Whether state universities can be so managed as to contribute more than they now do toward the promotion of Christianity. The outlook would, Indeed, be very discouraging if we could not give any affirmative answer to this question.” The speaker then spoke of what he termed the indifference and antagonism of many Christian people to the state college, and he deprecated their attitude, STUDENTS AND THE BIBLE. He made a plea for the institution of Bible chairs in these colleges, and said: "With these influences and conditions that tend away from faith in the Bible and in Christ, students in our great universities are placed in a critical condition. It is not surprising that many of them lose faith in the Bible and become indifferent to Christianity even if they do not openly oppose it. "If the Bible were a literature or no importance, or of only ordinary importance, the consequence of its neglect by university students would not require serious attention. But since the Bible, even when considered merely with reference to the present life, is a collection of the most important literature in the world, the conse- , qucnco of its ueglect by so many of our best educated people becomes a matter for so-

rious consideration by Christian people, and by all friends of education, “Now it is evident to all thoughtful observers of university communities that the churches, and other reqigious organizations usually found in university communities cannot, even when taken at their best, supply the Bible instruction that is needed by university students. The churches have an abundance of other work to do which they cannot afford to neglecu "Colleges and universities under the control of Christian people can provide special chairs for Bible instruction though, unfortunately, they do not often do this. But state universities do not dare to make provision for Bible instruction. If we may Judge by the experience of German universities in this matter., where Bible study, in institutions under government control, loses its normal and spiritual significance and dwindles into a mere literary and historical criticism, we may be very thankful that out state universities cannot make provision for anything of this kind. Under proper circumstances, the critical study of the Bible is, of course, legitimate and desirable. But as a contribution to the moral and spiritual life of university students and professors, it is a negative rather than a positive influence. “After several years of careful study of the moral and religious needs ol university communities, I am strongly convinced that, in the matter of state universities, the only way to counteract the great evils that result from the absence of opportunity and Incentive for scholarly and spiritual Bible instruction is to have Christian people unite in endowing and controlling special chairs for Biblical instruction in these universities. These chairs need not have, and perhaps should not have, any organic connection with the universities. They should be filled by men who are as able and scholarly as any of the university professors, who are full of sympathy with Bible truth and with student life. They should be men who make a careful study of social problems; men with a passion for scholarship, but whose enthusiasm for humanity shall control, ennoble and glorify that passion. These men should embody and communicate Christian truth, not only in their intellectual conceptions, but also in their daily lives. "The Bible chair ideal is capable of manifold applications, it can be applied to any educational center, whether state university, state normal school, technical school or city high school. Perhaps some day, when the people of God come closer together in that great work that the Alaster has intrusted to them, we shall find them maintaining Bible chairs in every community." The committee on Jamaica made its report after Air. Coler had finished. This committee was composed of Airs. C. C. Smith, Airs. H. McDiarmed, Miss Olivia A. Baldwin, Airs. Helen E. Aloses and Airs. W. F. Richardson. The society maintains the following missionaries in Jamaica: At Kingston, C. E. Randall. 70 Duke street, Kingston; at Berea. P. AL Robinson, Buff Bay P. O. ; at Kalorama, A. C. McHardy, Bull Bay P. O.; at Providence, A. W. Meredith, Castleton P. O.; at Oberlin, John Thompson, Halfway Tree P. O.; at King’s Gate, Neil MacLeod, Halfway Tree P. O. The committee’s report was as follows: “We are pleased to announce that G. D. Purdy, of Harrisonville, N. Y., has accepted a call to become a missionary on the island. * * * We recommend that he be sent to the field as soon as possible. The faithful manner in which the workers in the field have grappled with the difficulties is matter for congratulation, as is the entire harmony and co-operation of the missionaries, which tend to better organization: also, the successful labors of Neil MacLeod and sister, who have with wonderful tact and consecration entered into the work; the liberality and stability of the members, considering the little care many could receive. “The good work done by Louis Thomas and Arnold Shirley at the Southern Christian Institute is noted. These bright and consecrated young men have made rapid advancement in their studies. There is great promise of their usefulness when they return to the work in the island. We would recommend that the policy mapped out last year be continued, and we hope anew era of prosperity will dawn upon the Island of Jamaica.” The report being adopted, the committee on Western work, composed of Aliss Annette Newcomer, Airs. Sailie A. Batterlor, Airs. Elmira I. Dickinson and Airs. Virginia Hedges, reported as follows: "Your committee on Western work 13 fully alive to the needs of other fields. We know that our Jamaica forces must be strengthened, and we realize India’s overwhelming need; yet, notwithstanding, we feel that these needs must not be met by withdrawing help from the Western missions. "The field is Important. The West Is still the territory of immigration, and the constant influx of new material gives it an element of growth found no place else. The cosmopolitan character of its population makes it a mission field of the greatest importance. "America is God’s missionary nation, and this part of the country must be won for Christ that we may accomplish God’s purpose for us as a Nation. "We recommend that at least sufficient appropriation be made to this field to hold our own, that otir work do not go backward.” WESTERN MISSIONARIES.

Aladdock, of Elyria, 0., who has prepared herself as a medical missionary and stands ready to go to hnr chosen field in India on four days’ notice*. The convention accorded her an ovation. She spoke as follows: ") am glad to meet so many earnest missionary workers. I consider it a joy to have the opportunity to speak to you. I have been thinking for a long time of doing missionary work. I thought I had a good excuse not to go. as I was needed at home, but I read my Bible, and the Lord, I truly believe, directed me to the work, and I am here before you ready to go. I feel that the responsibility rests on each one personally, and I feel that I am called to go. And now I want to say good-bye, and God bless you.” The closing devotional service was conducted by Airs. Carey B. Alorgan, of Minneapolis. LIFE MEMBERSHIPS. Securing Subscription* to Them a Feature of Afternoon Meeting. The convention promptly convened in the afternoon and proceeded to the disposal of unfinished business. There was a short devotional service, and the church filled rapidly. The principal feature of the session was the collection of pledges and offerings, which, in the aggregate, far surpassed all expectations. During nearly the entire session a continual buzz of conversation interrupted the proceedings, and at times the confusion was suggestive of a lively political convention. The addresses, however, were listened to with marked attention, and an intense interest was evinced in the responses made to the call for new life members. The first thing In the proceedings was the report of the committee on Alextco, which consisted of Mrs. W. O. Darnell and Aliss Grace Carleton. The society maintains a station at Alonterey, where the missionary is M. L. Hobiit. It also conducted a station at C. Jaurez for one year, and the committee recommended that the work there be renewed. The cost of sending a missionary to Alexico. said the report, Is small, and, as the way to redeem a nation was to educate the children, the committee hoped the society would see fit to institute a school at Monterey. The committee felt thankful that the board had seen fit to retain a mission in the field. “Alexico needs the pure gospel of Christ, and we are responsible to the degree of our ability to supply that need,” said the committee. YOUNG PEOPLE’S WORK. An Important report was that of the committee on young people's work, which followed the report on Mexico. The committee consisted of Annie E. Davidson, Illinois; Kate E. Whistler, Indiana; Airs. J. C. B. Stivers, Ohio, and Airs. Minnie G. Hines, Nebraska. The report, after congratulating Miss Mattie Pounds, national superintendent, on her work, and indorsing the Junior Builders, continues: "As the individual pledge card is a constant reminder to the children of their Endeavor pDdge, we recommend that our board prepare individual pledge cards on which the children can pledge their monthly contributions for missions. "We recommend that next year only those organizations be admitted to the roll of honor who give more than th* y did this year. This will give a place to all who contribute for the first time and an oppor-

tunlty for all others to win a place who will strive for it. “We also recommend that our board appoint a day which our Juniors, Intermediates, Bands and Circles shall observe as anniversary day by having: a public meeting with appropriate exercises when the work of the society shall be brought before the church. “Regarding future work, let a suitable home be provided for our missionaries in Deoghur; enlarge the orphanage at Mahoba; provide SSOO, with which to build a chapel in Berea. Jamaica, and ask :he Intermediates, Kings Daughters, Circles, Sunday school classes and individuals to provide for all or part of the support of a child in India. “We most earnestly recommend that every pastor and every auxiliary see to it that the superintendent reports regularly to the state superintendent, and contribute to the missionary work set apart for our children to do. Also, that the auxiliary require regular reports from the children’s society.” The committee on nominations made its report after the adoption of the young people's report. This committee consisted of delegates from the several States elected at state convention as follows: Arkansas, Mrs. Mary Fletcher: Colorado. Mrs. Grant K. Lewis; Georgia. Mrs. J. A. Perdue; Illinois, Miss E. J. Dickinson: Indiana. Mrs. V. A. Pollard: lowa. Mrs. Ella M. Huffman; Kansas, Mrs. Helen E. Moses: Kentucky, Mrs. W. S. Keene; Maryland, Mrs. Emma S. Lattimore: Michigan.

Mr. Motley said he carried greetings from 22.001) Disciples of Christ who lived in Virginia, and spoke glowingly of the growth of the church in that State. He said the congregations had increased 50 per cent in attendance and 200 per cent, in spirituality. W. H. McCord, the missionary at Hazel Green, -n the mountains of Kentucky, also gave a pleasing statement of the progress of the w'ork at his post. The next speaker was O. G. Hertzog, secretary of Hiram College, where President Garfield was educated. Mr. Hertzog spoke in behalf of an old ladles’ home at Buffalo. NEW LIFE MEMBERSHIP. The principal work of the afternoon, that of securing new life membership to the society, was taken up about 3 o’clock and continued to occupy the convention until late In the afternoon. Dr. H. Garould, of Ohio, set the ball to lolling by donating S4OO, or sixteen life memberships. The membership of the C. W. B. M. consists of two classes, those who contribute $5 a year to the general fund and those who are called life members by virtue of paying $25 in ten installments within two years. Dr. Gerould, who is an earnest supporter of the work in India, prefaced his contribution by a short address. He said: “The necessity of the orphanage at ilahoba, India, during the year of 1896 demanded the presence of a physician or medical missionary at that station To this end an appeal was made to the Christian Woman's Board of Missions at Springfield, 111., at the general convention. The lack of funds in the treasury prevented a compliance on the part of the society with that request. This, however, did not relieve the necessities at Mahoba. Os their eighty children forty-four demanded the daily administration of remedies, and this from unskilled hands was not only a great responsibility, but a demand of time and strength greatly needed for other duties. “Being fully acquainted with these facts from frequent letters received, I determined, after making the above appeal, to send Dr. Rosa Lee Oxer on this mission of mercy. Brother Burford, of South Australia. begged the privilege of defraying her traveling expenses of $400; this left but $6 for my part of the expense. Dr. Oxer sailed from New York Nov 11, 1896, and reached Mahoba Saturday, Jan. 1, 1897. On Monday, Jan. 4. she began her work among the children of the orphanage. This required much o$ the forenoon of each day. Soon outside work demanded much of the afternoon. The dispensary accommodations were so small and imperfect that much of this relief work had to be discontinued. She now desires, above all things else, a dispensary suitable to meet the demands made at that station. Shall this request be granted? Miss Elsie Gordon writes, under very recent date, that the children’s kitchen in the last sixty-six days had given out more than 19,700 meals, and has opened the door for great opportunities in

Mahoba, if only these can be met as they occur t “I hope that here to-day pledges to that end will be given very willingly and ly. Os the S6OO received she had intended to save SIOO for dispensary purposes, but the increased expense of several months at Wedge Hill, in the mountain district, during the heated term, and the necessity for relief of a fellow-missionary, will use some of the means intended for a dispensary.” MEDICAL MISSIONARIES. The doctor continuing, said: “The missionary world is waking up to the necessity of providing a medical missionary for every new station. In fifty years ending January, 1594. medical missionaries have increased from ten to 359, sev-enty-four of whom are women. This is as it should be. Why submit our missionary friends to the barbarities of heathen practice of healing or killing, or intrust their lives to other missionaries who are without medical knowledge? I believe it to be little less than criminal on the part of the societies thus to expose the lives of those who have committed themselves to their care in foreign fields. I believe all of our India stations are provided for excepting Bina, Deaghur and possibly Damoh. “Now,” said the speaker, “we want to raise fifty life memberships here this afternoon. If you will raise thirty-four, I will give the other sixteen. If you can raise twentv-six, I will subscribe the remaining twenty-four. Meanwhile, I will start the work by agreeing to take sixteen life memberships, which is $400.” Mrs. Burgess, after the applause died away, called Mrs. Kelly to the platform to conduct the offering proceedings. Ladies were deployed down the aisles with slips of paper and soon the announcements begun to be made from all parts of the audience of pledges being made. Now' and then Dr. Gerrald w'ould enliven matters by some witticism or exultant remark, and the tab he kept on the offerings grew rapidly. OFFERINGS AMOUNT TO $4,000. After all the pledges were received it was found that the offering aggregated the gratifying amount of about $4,000, of which $3,125 was given for the special purpose of providing medical relief at tho stations in India, the balance going to the general fund. The collection baskets produced SSO in cash.

Tlielr Relation to Home Duties Discussed by Miss Sublette. It was a distinguished-looking audience that assembled at the Central Church In the evening. Every Inch of room was utilized and many who desired to witness the closing session of the C. W. B. M. convention were unable to get into the church. The meeting began with a short devotional service, after which one of the pleasantest episodes of the convention happened. A number of ladies, having in mind the labors performed by Mrs. O. A. Burgess, the president of the society, had purch-sed a tea set, and they presented it with much happy effect to Mrs. Burgess as a token of their esteem. Airs. Burgess replied feelingly and the audience extended her an ovation. Another event of the evening gave mute testimony of the depth of missionary fervor that has been engendered by the convention. Two elegant diamond rings, wrapped in a little paper, were sent to the platform, and on the paper were the following words: “A man and his wife of the Third Christian Church present these rings to the society that they may be sold for the furtherance of the work in Alahoba. We are too far advanced in Christian life to weai such expensive jewels.” Mr. and Mrs. G. D. PUrdy, of Harrlsville. N. Y., who are under appointment by the society to go to Jamaica, were introduced to the audience, and Mr. Purdy made a short speech that was much appreciated. Rev. E. C. Browning, evangelist for Arkansas. also made a few remarks, and then came the report of the committee on courtesy. The committee consisted of Mrs. R. H. Duke, Airs. E. P. Wise and Mrs. Chase; and their report, which was well conceived, extended thanks to every one that had aided in making tire convention a success. Aliss Sue Sublette, of Kentucky, the speaker of the evening, was introduce and. Her subject was “Does Missionary Obligation Conflict with the Duties of the Home.” She spoke as follows: Miss Sue Sublette, of Kentucky, delivered the address of the evening.
