THE PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS
Some Of the Results of the Secret
Deliberations.
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF STEAMSHIP LINES TO BE
REcoMMENDED-A TRUNK LINE RAILROAD TO
SOUTH AMERICA PRoPosED--No AGREEMENT
YET ON THE QUESTION OF COINAGE.


SOUTH AMERICA PRoposED-so AGREEMENT
YET ON THE QUESTION OF COINAGE
The long-continued labors of the Interna-
tional American conference will soon bear
fruit, for it is expected that within the next
two or three weeks that body will have formu-
lated recommendations which will be pre-
sented to the governments of the nations rep
resented. But little has been printed of the work
Of the conference, because its sessions and those
OF its committees have been secret. The real
conclusions Of the committees are Just becom-
ing known. An immense amount OF practical
information has been gathered together and
much Of it has been digested. The work done
gives every indication of being thorough.
o OCEAN COMMUNICATION.
The committees on ocean communication are
approaching the end Of their labors. On the
Atlantic coast two new lines of steamers are re-
garded as being absolutely necessary and both
OF them should run to Brazilian ports The re-
port will emphasize this proposition and the
countries touched or primarily interested will
be asked to give literally in subsidies On the
Pacific coast more communication il asked for;
the need is great. Two steamship lines will be
asked for by the committee on communication
between the gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean
sea, the southern termini to be at points
where railroad connection will result in GEN.
tralization Of traffic.
ARAILRoAD TO SOUTH AMERICA.
Much larger as to membership than any
other committee is the committee on railroads
and by this subordinate body a great deal of
valuable work has been done. Routes and con-
ditions OF trade have been discussed thor
oughly, but the only conclusion arrived at as
yet is to unite the various national. corporate
and individual energies in the construction of
trunk line to Chilli and the Argentine Repub-
lie, connecting with existing lines now in oper-
alton between the United States and Mexico.
When that has been done it will be possible to
get in a railroad car in this city and be carried
through without change to the great marts of
south America.
OTHER TOPICS CONSIDERED.
Regulations as to patents and trademarks
have been agreed on and the European who
on this line deceives the dealer in any part of
this continent after the regulations have be-
come law, will be remarkably smart man.
Ii the delegates were more nearly Of one
mind as to silver coinage there would be more
likelihood OF speedy report from the commit
tee on monetary convention. They are get
ting along nicely, however, but they are moth
ing like as far advanced as the "Comision de
Derecho International" which has practically
agreed to report favorably and unanimously on
the proposition to substitute arbitration for
bloodshed when the republics quarrel, as even
ranuhlics will OF fimoa do

Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-08-23

Union read paper on the training Of
children from infancy 10 twelve years,
which was beautifully written and
touched the hearts Of all hearers.
Some good advice to young mothers
was, not to follow the directions Of
all the medical journals, etc., but to
use o little common sense in the car
ing for children.
Next was song by Miss Alice
Mitchell of Boston, entitled "Sweet
and Low" which was followed by a
discussion Of the topic, Education
and Government of Young People
from Twelve Years Till Grown"
Many of the ladies had something to
say on this subject, but space forbids
giving much. One of the members
said, in order to have influence over
her children, mother must live the
things she would have them do. The
weight of personal character was the
greatest force in governing young
people. Give them as much innocent
enjoyment as it is possible, the best
of everything in reading matter, and
seek to give the best educational
training everyway.
The question was asked, "Can
Sunday be made distasteful to young
people by being too strict?"
One lady replied by relating the
experience of father, who was
brought up very strictly himself, but
made Sunday the merriest, brightest
day of the whole week for his chill
dren, by studying the Scriptures with
them, reading innocent and interest
ing stories with them, and in taking
part in everything they did; and
none of his children could have
greater punishment for any offense

An Amusing BIunder.

BY some ludicrous eclipse of the
printers vision the Fayetteville letter
Of last week was credited TO Miss
Ferguson instead of Miss Waggener.
On being approached about it, the
printer said he saw no occasion for a
tempest, as it was always understood
that maiden-lady's name was held
as negotiable property, and that he
would willingly make amends for the
blunder by supplying Mr.. Ferguson
whose name the gentleman would
cheerfplly permit the young lady to
wear, provided that stipulation would
suit.
We take it upon ourselves to say
that the young lady in question is al
together self-sustaining, and could
not be persuaded to enter into such a
negotiation simply for change OF
name, or for the prospect Of q home

than to be debarred from the family
circle on that day.
Another member thought it was
the associations after leaving home that
ruined so many young people, and il
parents could only see to itwho were
their children's classmates and room
mates, it would be Of great profit.
The next topic was "Home Amuse-
ments for Young People," on which
many good thugs were said.
Mrs. S. L. Teedor then sang
"Home, Sweet Home" with much
pathos and feeling.
At A pm. Mrs. Ellen Benton with
her Loyal Temperance Legion took
charge of the meeting, and recitations
by the little folks in competing for a
prize began. Seven girls and one
boy were the contestants, and the
prize, a handsome book, was awarded
the boy, Loring Ogden, who recited
"If were a man." Each contest
ant was presented a handsome bou-
quet of flowers, and the convention
closed by singing the Temperance
Doxology.
AT the last meeting Of the Central
w. G. T. U. they unanimously passed
the following resolution:
"Since the homes Of the world are
all dear to us, and since our beautiful
State and fair city contain represen-
tatives Of every nationality, we,
members Of Central w. G. T. IT,,
hereby express our appreciation of
the noble stand recently taken by
His Excellency, Gov. Nichols Of
Louisiana, in vetoing and otherwise
endeavoring to cripple the power Of
that national curse, the Louisiana
Lottery" ALLIE j. CARDwELL.

a Few Items About the Denver,
Col, w. C. T.U.

thls wonderful city Of Denver.
The first one was organized several
years ago, and now has membership
OF one hundred. This union is called
the Central W. G. T. T., and has
headquarters in room |, block 1860.
California street. The president is
Mrs. Brace. The average attend
ance at their weekly meetings is fifty,
and last year they spend $4,000 in
charitable purposes.
The South Denver Union has head
quarters near the corner of South
Broadway and Ellsworth streets. Mrs.
Craise, a talented and finely educated
woman, is president. I had the good
fortune to be present at an entertain
ment given by this union one night,
which was the most interesting one in
that line lever attented. The songs,
Rotations and select readings were
all new pieces.
Another of the unions here is called
the "West Denver" and Mrs. Jas.
Ravens is president.
The "North Denver" Union has for
its president Mrs. j. NJ. Clark.
The fifth union is called aThe Hioh-
lands" and Mrs. Smith is president.
A few days ago the women of all
these unions, and also delegates from
other unions in this county, met in
county convention in a church on
Blake street, called "The Peoples
Tabernacle"
The exercises began at 2 pm. and
were presided over by Mrs. A. Cas-
sell, county president. Mrs. Quinn
of West Denver, conducted devo-
tional exercises, selecting such por-
tions of the Scriptures as related to
the principal theme Of the day, and
then the convention proceeded with
the topics on the program.
The first was talk by Mrs. Craise
of South Denver, on draining Chill
dren." She deplored the habit that
parents have of deceiving children
and telling them improbable stories
for facts. AS there are many things
we do not understand, she thought it
was better to say, "We don't know"
Each union had appointed one of
their members to have a paper on a
certain subject, and when each ones
time came, their president would state
to the convention that Mrs. So and
So would read paper on a certain
subject, and call on the one from her
union to come forward, then the pres
ldent would introduce her to the con-
vention, and after reading her paper
remarks were in order.
Some one asked the question,
"What is the most important thing
parent can do for a child" The an
swer was, "Train it for the service of
God; and the training should begin
as soon as the child can understand
anything" One lady said that chill
dren understood such teaching much
younger than many people thought.
To show that this was true, she gave
as an instance her own little glrl--a
wee tot-that at one time was play
ing noisily around her, when she said
to the child, "Ohl do go away, Mag
gle; you surely will run me crazy!"
The little one went off into corner

General Sclienck and The Tough.

A correspondent of the Boston Globe
relates the following characteristic anec-
dote of the late General Schcnck:
was campcd just across little creek
opposite General Schenck's tent, where
! could see all that took place and also
hear good part Of the conversation
One fine day was aroused by loud words
coming from across the stream.
Looking up | saw General Schenck in
excited conversation with q man about
his own size. The general WIS saying:
Il don't want to hear anything about
the business! Get away from here, sir,
or will call the guard and have you
arrested"
The mans dress and manner were
characteristic of the cowboy; he had
lost something and had come to Gen.
Schenck rs he would 60 to a common
soldier and wanted the general to look
1t up for him. He was not inclined to
move off at the generals request, but
persisted. The general became still
more angcred, and finally told the man
that he was only hangcr.on to the
army and no better than a horse thief
anyway.
The man answered by telling the
general that he took advantage OF him
because he was protected By his shoulder
straps.
In n second off came the coat and
shoulder straps, and Gen. Schcnck was
even-handed with his man; and if you
think he didn't thrash that man you
don't know him as well as | did, and
he did 1t in style, too.
