S?i?l ili<> Deaconesses.
Twenty-eight pretty young women
were offered for sale Sunday afternoon
in the Academy of Music. They were a
bricht, earnest lot aud didn't mind be?
l?g sold in the least. Iu fact they
rather seemed to enjoy it aud did all in
their power to di-pjse of themselves.
Now it may seem strange, but there
were exactly I85 of them sold, one ol
these women complete was worth $250,
but, as the Kev. C. H. Vat man explain?
ed, a person could buy a whole one or a
fraction thereof. That accounts for the
two-thirds.
The occasion was the anniversary
day of the New York Deaconess's
Home, which was established in 1>S-'
and incorporated on March20 last. The
aflair was under the auspices of the
Metropolitan meetings which are now
held every Sunday iu the Academy of
Music.
Mr. Yatman conducted the exercises,
and among those prominent on the
stage were Kev. Dr. Crawford, presi?
dent of the Home, who delivered the
opening prayer : Miss Stephensou, bet?
ter known us'"Sister Dora," of London,
and Deaconess Lucy Iiider Meyer, of
Chicago.
An elaborate musical programme
was furnished by the orchestra between
the. prayers, speeches and the sale.
The main object of the affair was to
raise money for the support of the
Home for "the coming year. When it
came to that part of the programme
Mr. Yatman afforded a good entertain?
ment. He began by pointing to the
twenty-eight deaconesses seated in
rows ou the right of thestage and
telling of the work tiny <lid in
nineteen citj- churches aud missions
among the poor and needy : bow the>
educate Christian workers in their well
equipped training school. He ended
by remarking that, although they did
all this without compensation, tiny re
quired just $7,000 for their maintenance
for the coming year.
'?That is about $250 a year for each
deaconess," said be. "Now what man
in the audience will lake one or more
deaconesses for a year ?"
A gentleman in one of the upper
boxes shouted: "Mr. Yatman, I have
long admired the great work of these
deaconesses, and I'll take one for a
whole year."'
The audience was convulsed with
laughter and the deaconesses ou the
front row held their hymn books before
their faces.
"Don't blush, girls," said Mr. Yat?
man. "The best looking will go lirst."
At this there was more laughter.
' I'll tuke four ol them," cried a gen?
tleman on the platform.
"Now this is doing well,'' shouted
Mr. Yatman. "If you can't nllord to
take a. wholedeacoucsstake$100 worth
of one or form a syndicate and buy
one."
.Several deaconesses were disposed of
in this way.
Subscripiion cards were distributed
throughout the house, and the audi?
ence were told to write the amount
they wished to subscribe and their
names and addresses. Anything from
$1 up would be taken, and the deacon
esses would be indiscriminately dispos?
ed of in this way.
"A woman is said to be composed of
three tilings." said Mr. Yatman. "a
head, a heart and a tongue. If you
can't buy a whole deaconess why you
can take a part of one?a bead, "heart
or tongue."
More laughter, and thou amid a good
deal of bustle ou the part of the audi?
ence the deaconesses came down from
the stage and scattered all through the
bouse, from the top gallery down, col?
lecting the subscription cards. At first
they called out the amount subscribed j
on the cards as they took them up, aud
two secretaries on the stage were kept
busy keeping tin- record.
Some confusion was occasioned by
several deaconesses culling out at the
same time, so this plan was abandoned.
! The exact amount subscribed was not
stated, but it must have been several
thousand dollars.
The largest invoice was four, who
; were taken by Samuel W. Bowne. oue
of the directors. He afterward ex?
plained that two of them were for J. M.
Cornell.
J. D. Sayback, A. H. DeHaven and
Superintendent Milbury, of the Indus?
trial Christian Alliance, took one each.
The purchasers, however, will never
know which individual girls they have
bought.?X }~. Herald.
