Large ASSemblaSe Of Delegates In SeS'
sion at Cleveland.
RAPID GROWTH OF The YOUNG ORDER
Organized Nay "A, 1889, With Only Hand.
inl Of Members, II Nov Has Nearly 4
Million on the Rolls.

CLEVELAND, June 90 The first inter.
national conference of the Epworth
league of the Methodist Episcopal church
brought quarter of a million people into
this city today. Representatives were in
attendance from all parts of the United
States and Canada. The vast assemblage
was called to order in the Cleveland
music hall, which seats 5000 people, and
also in the Epworth memorial church,
which accommodates 5000 more.
The growth of the Epworth league is
the marvel Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. In Cleveland, D., the league
ives organized ON the l4th of May, 1889,
with only handful OF me mbers. Today
the league has nearly /, OOO. 900 members,
and is adding daily to its great member
ship.
Governor Mckinley, of Ohio, delivered
the address Of welcome to the delegates,
and speeches in response we're made by
the Rev. James N. Fitzgerald, bishop Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, the
Rev. Alpheus w. Wilson, bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, and
the Rev. DIR. A. Carman, general super
intendent OF the Methodist Episcopal
church of Canada.
The five societies which combined to
form the Epworth league we're the Young
Peoples Methodist alliance, organize at
a Camp meeting held at Des PLANES, Ill.
in the summer Of 1888; the Oxford
league, founded by Bishop J. H. Vincent
about the same time; the Young Peo-
ple's Christian league, which came into
existence in Boston in 1881; the Metho
dist Young Peoples union, formed in
Detroit later in the same year, and a
fifth society organized under the aus.
pices of the North Ohio conference in
1888. Twenty-seven representatives of
these societies gathered here four years
ago, twenty-three of who m were minis,

consideration the new Epworth league
was evolved, possessing the characters

Brief Description OF the Northwestern
Branch at Milwaukee.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 19.-Duling
my stsy in the ''city OF beer" have Wis.,
tied many points of interest. Milwaukee
is city Of much prominence, and it's
fine buildings, beautiful residences and
well-kept boulevsrds and parks will COM
pare favorably with those of any city in
the country. With guide have gone
through the famous establishments oil
Schiltz and Pabst and have drank the
sparkling beverage Of malt and hops at
the very fountain head. l have visited
Juneau PARK, a beautiful resort on the
shores of Lake Michigan; have wandered
through Forest Home, the prettiest city
Of the dead in the world; haye slipped
the medicinal waters and sauntered
through the cool streets and pleasant
groves of Waukesha, the Saratoga of the
west; but that which attracted my at
tention perhaps more than anything else
was the national soldiers home, stu
ated about three miles from the heart of
the city Of Milwaukee. And for this rea-
son l have concluded to give a short de-
scription for the benefit Of your readers.
The grounds contain about 400 acres,
and more charming spot could not be
found. 1t is in the midst of beautiful
grove of natural forest trees, while the
ground is rolling, so that the ravines and
hills have such prominence that it pre-
SCENTS picturesque appearance. There
are three natural lakes, filled with fish
OF all kinds, and many beautiful springs.
which add much to the picturesqueness.
The ground is laid off in walks and
drives, with large shade trees shutting
out the heat Of the sun, and here large
numbers Of the people of Milwaukee
spend their Sundays, wandering through
the pretty groves and listening to the
sweet strains Of music from the home
band. Yesterday 5000 visitors passed
in at the gates.
The buildings are large, commodous.
cheerful, well-ventilsted and well.lighted'
They are of cream-colored brick and are
handsome in appearance. They consist
OF main building, erected at cost OF
100000, diningroom that seats HOO
persons, handsome and convenient IL
brary that cost SIS 200, and which con-
tains 400 volumes of good books, a
laundry, engine house, postoffice and ga
loon, besides numerous other smaller
buildings.
The law establishing the home requires
all members to conform to the rules an
articles of war, and they are governed
thereby in the same manner as if they
were in the army of the United States.
At present there are enrolled az mem bers
OF the home 2160 men, representing
every state in the Union and nearly
every regiment in the late war, besides
several Mexican war veterans. Hun
dreds OF them are entirely disabled, and
the appearance of the old vets, MANY of
them with one leg, others with one arms
some of them blind, and now and then a
chsttering lunatic, present an unpleasant
reminder OF the dark days of '6l-'65.
There is a great deal Of sickness in the
home and the large hospital is taxed to
its utm0st.
The members who are able to work are
assigned to duty about one.half day each

entered unlawfully in violation of pre-
viously existing laws before endeavoring
to send out Chinese who came in lawfully
but are now under the ban
of the Geary law because they
