She Yesterday Afternoon Addressed tho Members of the Women's For eign Missionary Society of tho First Presbyterian Church, nnd Gave n Harrowing and Interesting Description of the Attack on the Mission nt Weyklng Chinese Are Willing and Faithful Converts. Miss Charlotte Hawcs, of Pittsburg, one of tho mlsslrnniiea who had n, narrow cscapo from the hands ot the murderous Botera In China, yester day afternoon addressed an nudlonec of about ono hundred persons, nt the meeting of tho Women's Foreign Mis sionary society, of the First Presby terian church. Her talk was glvin In the church looturj room, nnd nroved I exceedingly interesting. Miss Hawcs described tho harrowing scones sho .had pissutl through with n vividness rf lutigiugj nnd power which caused j little ttnilla to run through the audi ence. The spoakiM1 returned from Woyklng, a few months ago, landing In Sacra mento, August 2J, She Is at present at the homo of l!ov. Dr. James Mc Iood. Prior to her address the regu lar meeting of the society was held I and resolutions of regret for the death of Mrs. J. A. Scrunton were adopted. A committee consisting r.i Mrs? Mcleod, Mrs. Hunt, nnd Mtf. Plumley, which was appointed at the last meeting of the society, drow up the lesnlutlons, ' Miss Hawes was then introduced to her audience by Mis. C. S.

THIP TO WKYKING. She told of her trip to the country, with the landing at Clio Fu nnd the six ilayh trip to Woyklng. Sho de seiibed the high wall around this city, and then told of tho mission itself located about seven miles from the city. Five dwellings for the mis sionaries, tho chapel and hospital mide up this settlement of the gospel brlng ers. She then mentioned a young Chinese convert, who she said was a sort ot yellow Moody, and had brought hun dreds of souls Into the fold. Ho was converted when a boy tif thirteen and was at that time the only person in a whole village to leave the worship of his idols. "If you only knew," said she, "of tho hordes of people in China who are hungering for the gospel you would not hesitate to go out there and lilt the gaps in the number of our workers. The people on the whole aro very friendly and ask you cpiestlons by the score, particularly regarding your family. They have a wonderful regard for tho sanctity ot home life and the reverence for parents gives oltl people a very pleasant time In China. "We work principally out there by forming the converts Into classes, and spending all our time in teaching them the gospel of tho true God." Sho then told of the ilrtt tidings brought of tho approach of the Hoxers, unci the withdrawal of most of the mis sionaries to tho coast. She described the scene at the last lesson of a class of fifty, when the entire class of poor Chinese women with one voice de clared their willingness to cast their lot with the niisMonuiies and to die for Christ. "It was an affecting and most beautiful scene," the speaker af firmed. WOIIK OF THK MO 15. In vivid luuguigi!

Tho fore limners of tho crowd two 'i number of half si own boys and then ' came ovur a 'thousand wild, yelling Chinamen armed with sticks, stones ami knives, anil roaring the most hor rible of imprecations. Mr. Chalfont, I the superintendent of that mission i district, then stood forth with a brace I of pistols and for two hours alon ' and unaided manuged to keep 'the crowd at bay, by threatening them with his firearms. Ho sent for tho j city troops, who were near enough to ' come to the our assistance, but Upj military otllci.ils did not choose to send their men and the beleaguered serv I ants of God looked to Him alone for aid. , At the end of tha two bouts, the iciowd closed about tho brave solitary figure with cries of "The Hig Knifo So'.iety isn't afraid of guns," and then ho retreated Into the hous?, amid a shower of sto'ies and missiles. Together with the other missionaries and a number of converts Mr. Clin! font esc.ip-Jd from tho building, by Ubo of n ladder, wbllo tho crowd of yellow llenis, who were engaged In lliing tile mission, kept up a chorus of "The Foreign Devils are escaping. Kill them, kill them." Tho little com pany scaled a wall by tho ladder, and thus eluded for tho lime their pursuers, who continued their work of destruction. Several of tho con verts accompanied them In their dan gerous walk from tho city, and al though they knew they wore nlmcs sounding their djath krell, by their devotion, continued to remain stead fast and true to their now faith. TH15Y B13CAMK HOSTIUO. Largo crowds wore met on tho jour noy, and while nt flr.se they seoined friendly, tho nspoct of tho pursoiu encountered wtis toon noticed to be come hostile, and a largo amount of tltno wns spent In hiding In a co'-u-Held. At lust tho little baud arrived ut n Gorman settlement, where they were ulforded abundant hospitality and nid. and soon after were safe ul tho coast, Tho speaker brought her address to a close by telling of the general In dignities heaped upon nutlw converts nnd the cruelty anil Injustice of th Chlneso authorities, who not only deny them any redress, but actually inci cased their persecution. "Wo have 100,000 Christians In China," who sultl, "and I believe after this trouble Is over, there will be a grout reaction In our behalf aud tlu work will go 'on even better than before, and now I want you all tn pray for both tho converts und mis sionaries." Mrs. Thlelo sung In splendid voice, "Oh, For the Wings of u Dove," ami tho afternoon's entertainment was brought to a close by tho serving of refreshments. llS'il n4Mr 51 n H We have received a magnlficeht new Importation of Rugs and Carpets ol till sizes and qualities.
