highly for the :.
SATISFACTORY MANNER
in which the conference had been received.

nations before God. He compared the
growth Of the twin cities to story OF the
Arabian Nights, very eloquently setting
forth their marvellous growth. DIR. A. G.
ByerS of Ohio was next called upon. He

Thane Miller made very happy speech,
full OF humor, on the rapid growth Of the
two cities, keeping the audience laughing
continuously. He spoke of the union of

EX-President Hayes was called upon and
formulated the ideas of the conference
1t was agreed that boards Of charities
should be established in every state and terri
tory and that some women be on them. All
did not agree that these boards serve without
pay and without executive patronage. All
agreed that the old-fashioned and existing
jail is an aboInination and should be abolished
altogether. Should not tho state take charge
of them? All were in favor of kindersartsns
through and through, and would aid it
everywhere; in favor of the reformatories
for the young with the right man at the
head. He thought that all were in favor OF
the Elmira system, the Elmira prison, and
Mr.. Brool1way at the head of 1t. Minnesota
should have prison worthy OF it, and before
any part OF the plan be adopted it should &C
quaint itself with Elmira and Mr.. Brockway
Another thing, all were in favor of skilled
labor in prisons and reformatorles This
was not only good to cure but good
to prevent, and skilled labor should
be extended to every place where
the young were executed. Wherever women
were confied. there should be women to take
care OF them. Iu closing any conference
hearts warmed toward each other and all
thought it the best ever held. But this was
the best because the women had been present
throughout and taken part in the discussion.
In discussing Immigration at the opening it
seemed that the doctrine of the Revolutionary
fathers was getting pretty hard Shedding, but
a gentleman from Baltimore, an Englishman
by birth, then a Jewish rabbi Catholic
| bishop, one Episcopal bishop and Methodist
doctor of divinity thought that it was not best
to go back on the old doctrine The confer
ence was united in believing that the cause
of intemperance should be diminished, and if
| possible abolished. He united in saying to
the people of St. Paul "God bless them

Zer of the Red Cross association in Amer
lea, was next called upon, and responded
| briefly.
| FROM THE HOSTS.
