Supporting Woman Suffrage.

At a congress of the trades unions held
recently with the Central Labor union
of Boston, the delegates to which repre-
sented from 20, 600 to so, 900 members, af-
ter lengthy discussion woman suffrage
was unanimously endorsed. Mr.. Henry
Blackwell, who was present, received
hearty welcome and presented the
claims of women in an able manner.
A friend writing of the work among
the oranges says:
''You perchance are not aware Of what
is being done in quiet way for wom-
ans enfranchisement and advancement
III work of the grange. At country
meeting recently held in Haverhill, some
400 being present, the subject was pre-
sented. The walls Of prejudice are grad
ually breaking down, and when the time
is ripe for change the oranges will be
found waiting the event and ready to
fall into the ranks"

encouraging news, and the prospect is
brighter than ever before for the obtain
ing of municipal suffrage at no distant

Women Dentists at the WORLDS Fair.

Although it has been over 80 years
since the first woman Of whom we have
any record began praotioing dentistry,
it is only during the last 10 years that
the number of women entering the pro-
fession has been noticeably increased.
Even now, with nearly 300 women prac-
ticing dentistry in the United States, it
is not uncommon to hear remarks from
the public illustrating their surprise
when they hear of women dentists.
The woman dentist will be given every
opportunity at the Worlds Columbian
exposition to make herself known
through the congresses or exhibits il
she chooses. Women dentists are in
vited to join the medical department of

In 1892 there were ST., 1867 more
votes polled than in 1888. And il
1892 Cleveland received just $50
vote less than he did in 1888. In

voted against Cleveland in 1892 than

A Disguised Democrat
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Away off in New York city a
miserable Democrat throws back his
head and turns loose the bitterness
of his soul in letter to the Post, as
follows:
''To the Editor Of the Post:
"There should be no further specu.
lation about Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet
The selections already made point
unerringly to the three persons ne
cessary to complete it. Announce
with confidence:
"Secretary Of the Navy-Richard
Watson Glider, of New York.
"Secretary of Agriculture - Col
Charles Fl. Jones, Missouri.
"Attorney General - Mary E.
Lease, of Kansas.
"The country will not be startled
Mr.. Glider is a poet, Mrs. Lease a
woman, and Col. Jones dodo, but
they have attained Mr.. Cleveland's
friendship, and with that, the great
est distinction now possible to an
American career. Mrs. Leases
name has not been much in the
newspapers, but the truth ie, Judge
Gresham, MIR. Hoke Smith and the
lady Populist were declared upon Oh
the same day. Intending only tc
aim at twins, the President, elect sur
passed himself and gave birth tc
triplets.
CAT first blush it surprises one tc
see John G. Carlisle in this company,
but the sad conclusion is that he
proves himself worthy Of such q
Cabinet by entering it.
"W. B. BALL.
"New York, Feb. 49,"
OF course, this is what our es-
teemed contemporary, Eugene Field
would call "Oriental repartee," not
intended to convey q serious prob
ecy, but merely resorted to by way
Of relieving an over-burdened mind
AS the E0St Is not a party organ
and since it seeks in public affairs
and national politics and measures
only the country's good, we cannot
be expected to join in any criticism
of Mr.. Cleveland because Of his
having chosen 8 Republican to be
the head of his Cabinet and to stanG
first in the line of succession to the
Presidency. Mr.. Cleveland was
looking for thoroughly qualified
and equipped statesman to be hil
premier. Presumably he considered
the availability of many Democrats
before extending his explorations be
yond the party lines, but in the end
as we all now know, he selected Mr.
Gresham. It was a courageous ant
independents act, and as courageous
and Independent newspaper, the Pos
is bound to admit it.
Our correspondent is embittered
that is only too evident. But Mr.
Cleveland is gong right along witt
his Cabinet-making, and it is easy t.
see that he intends to please him
self in that matter, whether hi
pleases anybody else or not. "W. B
Bell" and others may as well gnav
their files in silence.

SOME EXCELLENT ADDRESSES
BY Rev. DIR. Kynett on Church Exten-
sion and Temperance, DR.. Gray on
the American University, DR.. Rit-
tenhouse on the Methodist Hospital
and DIR. Hurlburt on Sunday School
Work.
[Frem Thursday s Daily.l

[Fren Thursdav's Daily.l
After devotional exercises the Bishop
then introduced Rev. A. J. Kynett d. D.,
DR.. Hnrlburt and Dr.. Gray.
Dr.. kynett, as one If the permanent COM
mitteemen on temnerance, gave brief re-
port of the work of that committee, during
which he paid high tribute to the Stand
ing committee on Temperance OF the Tres
byterian Assembly. The speaker also re-
ferred to the work of the Board of Church
Extension.
During his address DR. Kynett stated thai
it would be the best thing thing to put the
principles of the gospel into the law, and
then make the law subservient to righteous
ness. He also spoke of the control of New
Jersey by the gamblers and thought that a
series OF earthquakes should shake that
State, and if that would do no good, that
that State should be cast out Of the Union.
Following DR.. Kynett, Rev. DR.. Ritten-
house. manager of the Methodist Hospital
of Philadelphia, was introduced and spoke
of the success of that institution since it
was opened last year. There have been
over 234 patients. In the dispensary over
1000 persons have been treated, and in the
hospital more than 1890 patients have had
medical assistance. The speaker gave
synopsis of what might be done to assist i'll
this work.
He was followed by DR.. Gray, of the
American University. The doctor is an
eloquent speaker and prefaced his remarks
by an amusing tale of public speaker,
which conVnised the assemblage in laughter.
His address was devoted to the needs and
successes of this great institution, aud asked
for increased donations to the University.
DR.. Gray, in closing his remarks, wanted
1000 ministers to each raise 800 for the |
erection of a new university building to be
known as "Asbury Hall" One hundred |
dollars will entitle each preacher to a meIn-
bership in the Universal League, for the |
promotion of hightr education in the |
American University of Washington, D, C,

senting his subject the speaker said the |

EPWORTH LEAGUE.
The Anniversary Exercises at the
Opera House Last Night.

Opera House Last Night.
The anniversary of the Epworth League.
the last born child of Methodism, was held
in the Opera House last evening. The meet
ing was full of enthusiasm, the audience
large and appreciative, for, in spite of the
inciement weather, the house was packed.
Rev. K. K. Stevenson presided. Before the
regular exercises there was short song
service by the Middletown Chapter, lead By
DR.. T. E. MartindaIe assisted by several
other ministers. Besides the choruses which
were all stirring and well sung, there
were solos by Mrs. M. A. Bowman and
Rev. I. E. Terry, and duett by Mrs. Bow
man and DR.. Martindale.
After the opening prayer by Rev. 7. e.
Terry and short address by Rev v. s.
Collins, the speaker of the evening was in
troduced, DR.. D.. A. Jordan, of the 9th
Avenue NJ. E. Church, of Brooklyn. His
theme. was "The Epworthian of the 10th
Century" and his address was master
piece. In the most earnest, forcible and
burning words he portrayed the future, not
as a fanciful or impossible dream
of an enthusiast, but as the natural
product of the church, vigorous
with consecrated youth. as seen and felt by
one who is in close sympathy and touch
with young people The onward march of
the church is most plainly seen to-day in
the Epworth League movement, which is
the Young Peoples Society ofthe Methodist
Episcopal Church. This society is destined
to be one of the great factors in developing
the well-rounded Christian youth, and
proves how false is "that wicked old chest
nut" that Christian young people can have
no fun. DIR. Jordan's picture of the league
of the coming century, could but
stir the heart of every young per-
son who heard him, and quicken
an impulse for better living, better
thinking and better doing than ever before
known. Dr. Jordan expressed much inter
est in the Wilmington Conference League,
and was pleased to find so much activity
and enthusiasm among the ministers
He made it very plain that the league is as
necessary to the church as the church is to
the League. After the close of his address
Rev. Alfred Smith led in q brief prayer
service, and the meeting closed with the
singing of few of the Epworth songs
The music throughout the evening was ex-
cellent. the Sunday School Orchestra added
much to the pleasure of the audience.
