of ladies' who afe arranging FOR the coming
convention Of the W. o. T. u, report
uuoh success In securing accommodation
for the delegates. The number OF guests
10 hs provided for will DO about $50. An
effort will DO made this year to amend
their constitution and thus reduce the
number Of delegates sent by each union.

the State convention. This was not 80
made because Of the Importance of the
duties enjoined, but, as q good lady puts

seems as II the .,shown has become giRan-
tic and must be reduced somehow. 1t Is
now proposed TO allow but three dele
gates, which ia considered sufficient and
can be better provided for whilst attend
ing State conventions. However, the Eve
delegates from the many unions can
come to Middletown feeling nasured of
being royalty entertained; In fact, the
citizens Of Middletoun would do that II
the number was double.
