Governor HoveJ's Welcome.
The Rev. II. A. Cleveland offered prayer
and Governor Hovey was introduced. He
spoke as follows:

The brilliant Leigh Hunt in one Of bis beau

awoke night from n deep dream of peace
when az angel OF the Lord stood before him
with an open golden book. Exceeding peace
had made Ben Adhem bold, and he asked the
angel whose names were written therein.
The angel replied; "The names Of those who love
the Lord"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily still, and said II pray thee, them

Interested Auditors, Inspired Speakers and
T. oqu-nt Addresses.
The eighteenth national conference of
charities and corrections will be a men,
orable one, the first session at Plymouth
church Wednesday night being an event
in itself The intelligent audience
finds itself in nearly every descrip-
ton Of a public meeting, but let
it be said that the gathering
last night was one where thoughtful in
telligence predominated; yes, and even
more, careful and noble intelligence. The
blue ribbons of the members seemed to
have been sprinkled everywhere; they
were numerous on the street, in hotel
lobby, and at the opening session the audi
ence might have been deluged with them.
The church was crowded to the
doors and two handsome police
men stood on the outside, by request,
but it wasn't the kind of a crowd that
needed the services of the blue coated
minioDs. The decoration of the church
was very elaborate, the gal cries and or
gan being draped with flags, bunting and
cedar festoons, while directly over the
stage hung the conventional welcome sign
with the faring emblem OF the Red Cross
association standing out in relief. Direct
Nv under that emblem sat Miss Clara
Barton. the woman who founded the
association. On her right sat Hugh H.
Hanna, chairman of the local committee,
with Gov. Hovey, Mayor Sullivan, DIR.
Cleveland, Bishop Chatard, Bishop Knick-
erbacker, MOnsignor BessOnies, Col. John

Evening Session.

The RI Rev. Francis s. Chatard, bishop
of Vincennes, delivered the following well
received address on Charity; How Is Its
Work Best Done?"
We are told that the social order Of the world
Is profoundly disturbed; that there is a rest
less, uneasy surging of the masses which
means trouble. We are also told that this
comes from a want of charity. of consideration
for the rights and feelings OF our neighbor.
am afraid there lie great deal OF truth in this.
But am checked at once by the objection
that am out of order; for outdoor charity is
the theme OF the evening, and this means the
dispensing OF material aid. Well think II
the indoor charity be oil it should be, the out
door charity will be all the better regulate
and its beneficial effects be more widespread.
II Is undoubtedly true that the charity Of
Christianity civilized the world. In a meeting
OF prominent revolutOnisis who brought about
the new kingdom of Italy, at banquet on the
Via Condotti in Rome shortly after 1870. Teren-
zio Namiani spoke of the two civilizations. n >
pagan and the Christian; he looked forward to
better one; the third epoch. he said, had
dawned. Sill he gave great credit TO the
second civilization, to which he and all present
owed their enlightenment and culture, This
second civilization sprang from the truth that
men have rights: that they are equal in this,
that their sacred and inaliensble rights are to
be respected; that the image Of the Creator In
each man makes him an object of considera-

he says OF the author OF Christianity;
This Babe born lowlily,

Bring earth great gifts of blessing and Of bliss;
Date, from that crib, the dynasty Of love;
Strip his misused thunderbolts from JOvs;

Mr.. +. b. Sanborn made a brief report
for New Hampshire, and Ira 0tterson OF
the New Jersey reform school for boys
discussed the nature Of his work.
Mr. Philip c. Garrett OF Philadelphia

port Of its dependent. defective and delinquent
population as charity organization keeps of
those with whom it has to do.
To certain extent registration OF these
classes has already been undertaken by some
of the states for the boards of state charities.
Correspondence on this point has elected the
following:
/. As regards the insane. Massachusetts
receives weekly reports from all lunatic hos
pitfalls, and has a detailed notice Ia case Of
death by violence. In New York the state
commissioner OF lunacy registers all insane,
with such changes as may occur. Minnesota
keeps no central record of the insane. Mchi-
gan receives quarterly reports from asylums
and yearly reports from the insane in county
poor houses and elsewhere. New Jersey keeps
only the usual hospital records. Wisconsin
receives no special reports aud keeps no regis
tration. Pennsylvania has a very careful sys-
tenn OF registration Of its insane in the office Of
the commissioner OF lunacy. dating from 1888;
receives also reports OF discharges, paroles and
deaths Illinois keeps lists of its insane, but
not very thorough. Mr.. Letchworth writes
me that the English lunacy board makes quite
extended reports on the insane in England and
Wales; that the same is done by the Scotch
board for Scotland. and thatvery unsatisfactory
returns are made By the Irish lunacy board.
! find, then. that Massachusetts,, New York and
Pennsylvania are keeping the most careful

Mayor Sulliyan's address was received
with much interest and followed by
hearty applause. He spoke with much
earnestness when referring 10 his observa-
tons in the police court. AS a represent

welcome was made as forcble as language
could express. He knew that no selfish,

HE is OUT.

The proceedings were short. JUDGE
WINSTON saw that the tramp had been
charged with very little. The stealing
of two sweet potatoes was the amount of
his crime.
1t was easy to get the tramp away,
under a writ of habeus corpus, which
had been issued and which the judge
granted. The miserable creature NOR
RIs, who had arrested the tramp was
condemned in church and on the streets.
MAJOR GUTHRIE did the writing and
COLONEL BOONE was willing to show
that there had been no offense.
THE GLOBE by noon had received
many dollars which would have gotten
the man out on a bond-but he has been
legally released.
THE GLOBES interest in the diabolical
case, where w. II. MORRIS arrested and
held and convicted a poor tramp for
taking two sweet potatoes, was purely
one of humanity. We interested the
public.
REV. WHITE talked to his congrega-
ton about the man who had beel4 i'm
posed upon and the REV. Mr.. BISHOP
came this morning with a crisp five dol
lar bill to assist in releasing him.
Humane people were on the streets
and MORRIS is a sorry cuss.
The young man is out of jail, even if
THE GLOBE started the ball, and he will
60 his way rejoicing. He is doubtless
deserving of what he has received-for
Christianity includes only a few things
and the greatest is Charity.
Long live those who proffered help,
and short be the life of the miserable
scamp whose name is W. H. MORRIS who
arrested a hungry man'for stealing two
sweet potatoes.
The man is out of jail-MoRRIs is
cursed and despised in this town, and
THE GLOBE for its little part rejoices.

With the best of good feeling for THE

point out one flaw in that otherwise per-
feet gem of journalism it seems to care
nothing whatever for the integrity of it's
news columns. For weeks the Citizen
has taken nothing apparently serious
from THE GLOBE because it was impos-
sible to tell where the excellent fooling
of that journal began and where it's news
left off. Mere mention of this blemish
will, we are sure, be enough to secure its
correction, for A. L~AMMIToEM FAIR

If COLONEL FRANCIS EMERSON Rob-
INsoN will deal in specific charges we
will undertake to show him that we are
not wrong. The only real news item,
upon which we have stumped our toe, was
the special concerning the wreck of the
R. & D. train at Bostian's bridge. That
news anne direct and was all that we
wanted. A lady who knows news when
news is news, and who since arrived in
Durham, told US that she meant all that
was sent Us. She claims to day that the
train stopped and that men were arrested,
as she was told by a train mainland that
rails had been placed on the track.
Knowing the misfortune we had in the
last wreck about getting news, she sent
us what we printed.
If it was a fake the train man was gull

ception and so was THE GLOBE.

to have anothe, track to Norfolk without

be practicable for this great system to

for moving it's freight, which this slight

would involve the control of the Atlantic

the best way.
