VISIT TO FANEUIL HALL.
MOST PERFECT MAD

Old FaneuiI Hall Shook with the Lusty
Shouts of the Young Unioners.
Old Faneuil Hall was bright with the
fleck of gay bonnets and dresses, white
and blue badges and red and blue, Fri
day afternoon, and it rang with the
sound of stirring hymns and thrilling
addresses.
For the Young Peoples Christian
Union Convention, thousand strong,
invaded the old hall and filled it to over
flowing.
The hall was entirely filed by the time
the last of the delegates got inside. and
the great floor area was filed with peo-
pie standing. From the wall back of
the platform Daniel Webster looked out
of the speaking canvas, and higher up
Peter Faneuil looked down complacent-
ly upon the assembled multitude. The
benignant face of Washington, strong,
calm and masterful, brooding seemingly
upon the future of his country, looked
out over the host, and there, too, were
the faces of Andrew, John Hancock and
Samuel Adams, the later fathers of the
Republic and the former one of it's pre-
servers.
Filled with the inspiration of such
scene and the memories OF the deeds of
such men. National Secretary Harry L.
Garfield called the delegates to order,
andsaid they had assembled there in that
historic spot in true old style. and in true
old style some would have to stand during
the exercises. as there were not enough
seats for the delegates. Then he intro
duced without fur ther preliminaries the
President of the meeting DIR. Capen.

is a we'll established fact We must
work in harmony; we must cultivate
the habit Of promptness in all church
work; we should never allow trifling ex-
cuses to keep US at home; we should try
and interest a friend in our devotional
work; we should carry with us cheer
full word and a pleasant smile, particu-
larly for the stranger within our gates;
we should never allow strangers to pass
out from our meetings unnoticed; we
should be careful to discriminate be-.
tween words of encouragement and those
of flattery."
The Open Parliament.
The "open parliament" which followed
was conducted by Secretary Garfield
and was opened by discussion of the
question, "How Do you Conduct the
Singing in Your Devotional Meeting?"
Various speakers from all over the coun-
try gave their ideas on this subject, and
they were many and varied, the most
novel being received with applause. An
other question was. How Do You Use
the Scripture?" Still others were,
"What Use do You Make Of Quota
tions?" "How do You Provide Against
a Dull Meeting?" How Many of Our
Unioners are Ready, Willing and Anx-
ious to Pray in the Meetings?"
Miss Minnie o. Perry, of Minneapolis,
read an exhaustive paper on 1.-THE Look
out Committee" In opening the sub
ject she referred to the carelessness with
which the lookout committees" are
often made up. and then considered the
work of this committee and its objects
The first of these is to bring into the
society new members, to Judge of their
fitness, etc.
The next speaker, Miss Alberta D.
CARRIER Of Cincinnati, read paper, on
1.-THE Charity Committee" She said
1--WE think we are charitable,a and point
with pride to our charitable institutions,
and are we not great, good, generous,
charitable people? Yes, But why do
we have SO many dependent classes? Be-
cause we have been content to rest with
allevia ting suffering with feeding hun
ger. That is the old order, but it
changes. Now we are to give heads to
think, hearts to sympathize. hands to
work. and with this aim: Your best and
most thorough charity is that which
tends to make and ends in making it's
object Independent Of charity"

In New York, as in other parts of
the world, the death. rate among Jews is
in much less proportion than among the
non Hebraic classes; and this is &C.
counted for by some from the fact that
Jews are, as rule, scrupulously clean
in their habits of life. The Governor of
New York in recent report says, speak
ing of the Hebrews: "These people are
hardy. long lived race, nor is the cause
of their wonderful vitality difficult to

NO USE FOR CLEVELAND,
Henry Watterson'S Vigorous
Denunciation of the Third
Term Idea.
Says the President Would Not Carry
Single District If Again
Nominated.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 10.-A special
to the Herald from Cincinnati says: "If
Grover Cleveland is nominated for third
term he will not carry single Congress
sional district in the United States"
This remark was made by Henry Wat
terson at the st. Nicholas Hotel last even
ing to reporter.
And furthermore" continued Waiter
son on the same subject, II do not believe
it possible to nominate Mr.. Cleveland.
Washington set the example, and there
is no more inflexible law on the statute
books than the unwritten one forbidding a
third term. Grant had such great leader
as Conkling to fight for him, and the 300 of
that convention were as brave as the
soldiers who held Thermopyla, but Grant
could not be nominated, even though he
had been out of the Presidential chair for
four years"
"Some one has said recently, Mr.. Wat
terson, that In the course of time the acts
of Mr.. Cleveland and his administration
of affairs will result in his being REGARDED
as one of the greatest statesmen this coun-
try has produced"
whoever said that was fool or a
craven tool" was the prompt reply.

m ain abroad for the rest OF the year.
