ity and the iron industry of Pittsburg I'M
presses a stranger very forcibly as soon as
he arrives in the city. With what 1 nave
seen of the city I am more than pleased.
The hospitality of the people equals, If not
exceeds. ANYTHING I have ever seen. The
ladies deserve any amount OF praise for
their part of the entertainment programme,
and have made host of warm friends
among the delegates by their kind atten-
tions and the manner in which they provid-
ed for their wants in the Exposition cafe,
as we'll as at their homes. But
I am surprised that the city does
not possess hall, comfortable, commodious
and we'll ventilated, with good acoustic
properties wherein a convention could be
held with greater degree of comfort than
in this building. Pittsburg is wealthy
enough and has numerous pnilanthrophists.
Why is she so negligent regarding public
hall?"
BEAUTIES OF THE CITY.
OF the beauties of Pittsburg Mr.. Harts-
horn said his wife could speak with more
knowledge, al she had improved her oppor-
tunlties to ascend Mt. Washington, visit
the East End and enjoy many delightful
drives. Mrs. Hartshorn, who is the only
child of W. S. Ford, the editor OF the
Youths Companion, is talented, bright,

DELIGHTFULLY."- upon the natural scenery In
which Pittsbuig abounded; its picturesque
location at the juncture of the rivers, and
its beautiful residences with their spacious
lawns. The view from Mt. Washington was
pleasant surprise to the lady, who pro-
nounced it one of the prettiest she had ever
seen, and her travels have been extensive.
Rev. NJ. R. Drury, associate editor of the
Dayton, o., Telescope, said: "Pleased
with our reception? 1 should say L was.
Nothing has been left for us to reasonably
desire. or the six conventions we have
held, this has been, SO far as can read, the
most agreeable"
Mrs. Walter Parker, of Alston, COL,
said: "Our reception has been perfect.
Pittsburg ladies have all along proved that
they can be as hospitable as they are amia-
BILE, which is saying a great deal"
Rev. J. G. Brown, OF South Fork, Pa,
remarked that being a Pennsylvania he
would be proud of Pittsburg anyhow, but
that the reception rendered to the delegates
had far surpassed his brightest expectations.
''The Ladies' Reception Committee" he re-
marked, "haye far exceeded what was
necessary in the way of hospitality and
politeness. have talked to far Western
and far Eastern delegates, and never heard
the shadow of complaint, but rather the
ception"
LOUD IN LAUDATIoN.
Mr.. George W. Jones, of Annaville,
Cal, was also loud in laudation of Pitts
burg and its hostesses. He repeated Rev.
Mr.. Drury's remark that the convention of
go was the pleasanIest SO far.
W. A. Wilson, private secretary to Mr..
Jacobs, when asked what he thought of
m aio Lott ha 1ot
while he industriously wiped the perspira-
ton from his face; but he continued: "We
are delighted with the way we have been
treated by the local people. The arrange
ments for our comfort have been such as to
call forth the most complimentary comments
from all the delegates. We were thoroughly
familiar with the city before we arrived
here through maps and plans supplied us
by the local committee, but there is one
thing never would become accustomed to,
and that is the freight trains on Liberty
street. They are as bad as being 'bridged'
in Chicago"
D. R. Wolfe, Chairman of the St. Louis
delegation, spoke of the convention as being
large, harmonious and efficient one, and
eulogized the people for their hospitality
and the kind attentions they bestowed upon
the visiting delegates OF the city, he said {:
"Pittsburg is a point of which not only
Pennsylvania but the whole country can
justly be proud. I have had the pleasure
of transacting business with many of her
leading men for years, and can bear testi-
mony to their correct methods and their un-
firing energy"
DELIGHTED WITH ALL.
William Randolph, OF st. Louis, a men,
Der OF the cotton bag manufacturing firm OF
h. & L. Chase, said: "I regret exceedingly
that have not had time to see much of the
city. 1 never was here before, and have
been delighted with the appearance of things
everywhere. The hospitality shown us has
been delightful In its Christian spirit. The
ladies have supplied every needed want so
openly and SO cheerfully. The convention
itself has been one of the best ever at
tended in its spirit and the character of its
delegates"
N. D. Thurmond, of Fulton, NO., said:
s'The comment made by the Missouri dele
cation has been universally in the highest
praise of Pittsburg hospitality. We do not
feel that we could have been treated more
royalty anywhere else.
Rev. Isaac B. Self, of Denver, State
Organizer for Colorado, said: II am very
we'll satisfied with the results of the con-
vention. The people of Pittsburg have en-
tertained US splendidly. I have had no
time yet to see the city, but will stay until
Monday and look around" Rev. Mr.. Self
will preach tomorrow evening in the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church on Wylie
avenue.
MR. sEARLE SURPRISED.
81 was intensely surprised when stepped
off the train and saw PIttsburg in all her
beauty" said Mr.. E. P. Searle, of Tennes-
see. 'In our part OF the country there is
prevailing opinion that Pittsburg is stuck
between two rivers and turns out some iron.
People asked why the Sunday school con-
vention was to be held in that town instead
of big city. But it is safe to say that the
delegates would not have changed the place
now if they could. am we'll satisfied with
your city. Numerous expressions of pleas
ure from many have come to my ears.
PIttsburg seems to be everlastingly
on the go, and our convention must have
caught some of the dash and spirit OF the
people here, for we have had most sue
cessiul meeting. Your natural gas system
is grand. 1t would take me year to tell
all the nice points like about Pittsburg."
THEIR BEST RECEPTION.
Rev. Walter Gay, of the Mt. Vernon
Colored Baptist Church, of Durham, n. c.,
said: "This is the best reception 1 ever
had. The colored delegates are highly
pleased with their reception. We expected
to be treated as we have been in the South,
put in the kitchen or somewhere like that,
but we find things very different. What 1
have seen of your city is splendid. I did
not expect to find as large city. We be-
lieve that this convention will do much to
help our people in the South. I was glad
to see that resolution concerning a worker
