The Gloucester Comfy W. G.. T. e.
Convention, held last Thursday in the
Mullica Hill Baptist church, was ia every
way n success. Mrs. Downs was present.
and Mrs. +. NJ. Harris, (iIope Ledyard, }
the principal speaker. In the afternoon
her subject was 'IIow 10 conduct mothers
meetings." In the evening ''Social Pur-
ity." Memorial services were held in
honor of the beloved president, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth r. Stokes, and q sketch of her life
read. Among the valuable papers read
was one from Mrs. Mary Pauline Sparks,
the State Superintendent of Practical
Hygiene. Mrs. Sparks is evidently one of
our coming White Ribbon speakers.
Her Evolutionary powers are excellent.
On the platform she is at ease, has a sweet,
winning face, and dresses as our w. C. t.
L. women should dress-sensibly, yet in
excellent taste. Mrs. Sparks is n member
OF the Chautauqua Circle also. But the
browning interest Of the convention was,
of course, Hope Ledyard, as we love to
call her, a true, womanly woman, a MEM
Der, by the way, of the Sunshine Mission.
She has the rare gift of handling the most
delicate subjects in q pure, earnest way,
is an attractive speaker, thoroughly versed
in her subject, and one our Salem County

ton.

thanks to The Stokes Union, and all other

Our DeTenseless Coasts.

A statement sent over the country
concerning the defenseless condition of
the Pacific coast is just now attracting
some attention. Gen. Niles is said to
have startled an Army Board by declar-
ing that almost any power could sue
cessfully attack San Francisco. We can
see nothing startling" in such a state
ment. 1t has been made over and over
again in the last five years.
But New York is no better off than
San Francisco in this respect. We have
no Notifications or other means of de-
fense here. There is not even a single
gun of the best class mounted on any of
the Notifications about New York. Can
ada has Just built some first-class forti-
fications both on the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts. 1t has mounted on these
defenses large guns and better ones than
exist in the United States. 1t is pre-
posterous for us to be behind even Cam
ada in such q matter. 1t takes years to
construct modern defenses, and Con-
gress has been almost criminally remiss
in neglecting this matter. 1t is to be
hoped that the next Congress will give
it proper attention.-Ne,C York Ne,cs.

A Congressman Personates a King.

The late Congressman Burnes was .
great joker and never was so happy as
when getting some rig" on some one.
When King Kalakua made tour of this
country some years ago he was booked
for q speech at Kansas City. Unfortu-
nately the monarch was hilariously
drunk and the party, among whom was
Congressman King, were in q fix. kala-
kua got full while on the train from st.
Joseph to Kansas City and it was here
that the plan was formulated that was
such . success. The King was divested
of his royal togs and the congressman
got into them in hurry. 1t was little
dark when the train rolled into Kansas
City, where there was an immense
crowd of people assembled Burnes
walked with stately tread to the plat
form and let of string of unintelligible
jargon. The party inside were con-
vuised with laughter, but not smile
disturbed the serenity of the congress
msn's face. A few minutes later the
train pulled out, with Burnes standing
in majestic silence on the platform
