Leave For Home.

Boston. July 16.-The great Chris
tan Endeayor convention adjourned
to-day. and many of the 10000 dele
gates nave left for home. Meetings
were held in the forenoon in Mechan-
les hall and Tents Endeavor and VIII
liston. At noon a rally was held in
Faneuil hall. In the afternoon the
closing meetings were held in Me-
chanics' hall and in the tents. The
convention was a success in every
particular.
The programme yesterday included
work only for the visiting clergymen.
The local ministers in general gave
place to those who had come from
other localities to attend the CONVEX
ton, and it is doubtful If ever in the,
history of Boston its pulpits were sup
piled with such AZ array Of eminent
preachers. To the more than 10000
members of the Y. i. s. C.. T.. the day
came as a literal day of rest The
energetic young men and women who,
ever since the convection opened.
have been given but little respite
from their labors In caring for the
many visitors, appreciated the change.
and the strangers, wearied by contin-
ued convention sessions, seemed glad
TO be able to attend service in the To-
cal in which their headquarters
We're. instead of having to undergo
the crowding necessity to get TO the
tent meetings and the Mechanics hall
sessions. This distribution Of clergy
men was so planned that the delega-
tons quartered in the suburbs could
attend worship i'm their districts.
Several delegations located down
town emphasized their ideas on the
matter of Sabbath observance by
meeting Saturday and passing resolu-
tons p~ledging themselves not to use
the street cars or otner conveyances
Sunday. AS a result the streets just
prior to the commencement of regular
church services were thrOnged with
men and women wearing Christian
Endeayor badges, proceeding on foot
10 the most convenient churches.
They had already begun the day with
the usual $50 a. m. prayer meetings
at their various headquarters. but in
contrast 10 their practice on other
days. there was no singing on the
streets as the delegations passed to
and fro.
The clergymen who spoke are
among the most eminent in this coun-
try, and the list also included many
distinguished preachers from abroad.
In many cases the themes We're upon
the Christian Endeavor movement
and It's results; in others general re-
ligious subjects We're chosen. With
$4,000 visitors in the city besides the
regular cluroh-goars, nearly every
church was filed.

Terrific Rain storms, Causing Loss
OF Life at Various Places.

Kansas City, July l0.-Storms dur
ing the past three days are reported
over a large territory, showing that
the entire eastern watershed of the
Rocky mountains, from the Nebraska
and Iowa lines to Texas, were swept.
Friday night the worst blow came.
Reports of loss of life and destruction
Of property came with every telegram
and the downpour. first regarded as
a blessing, grew into a wave of de-
structioD. Fields of grain that prom
Used the most bountiful yield in many
years were swept bare OF vegetation.
In several instances the seas OF rain
were abetted In their work OF devas
tation by tornadoes. 1t is too early
yet to sum up the loss, but the total
is appalling, and those to whom the
angry elements spared life have little
left TO sustain it. The stories of the
storm are so similar that a statistical
summary is all there is left to tell.
The storm focus embraced an area
of 200 square miles, with the south
western corner of Missouri as the
center. The greatest loss Of life is
reported from Winona, Mo, where
eleven corpses have been found, with
as many more wounded. At Baxter
Springs, Kan. five were killed and
eleven seriously injured by a cyclone
that accompanied the storm. One
person was drowned at Columbus,
and two at Ottawa, Kan. At Van
Buren,, Ark, a mother and her babe
were drowned. A family of five was
encamped on the bank Of Fish creek,
in the the Indian Territory. Nothing
Of them nor their belongings were
ound except a part of their wagon
on a pile of driftwood. At Thomas
vile, Mo, where the rainfall was
four inches in one hour, five persons
were lost. UncOnfirmed rumOrs are
received of loss of life as follows:
Three at Fayetteville, Ark; one at
Pa0la. Kan; one at Richards. Kan,
and six of a hunting party in the In
dian Territory.
This gives a known and probable
loss of forty-three lives. This total
Will be increased when the receding
waters permit a thorough search. The

Boston, July 1.-THE third day of
the fourteenth international Christian
Endeayor convention opened with
ideal weather. Despite the immense
amount of energy expended by h
delegates at the great meetings OF
yesterday and the greater meetings
of last evening, thousands of them
were up with the sun this morning,
making their way TO thirty churches
i'm the city and vicinity for early
prayer meetings, and 1t is estimated
that fully 10000 persons participated
in them. Besides the delegates, many
residents of the city attended before
beginning their labors for the day.
some of the largest meetings were
those held in the Park street church.
near Boston Common; the Shawmut
Congregational church, the Old South
Congregational church and the Old
Baptist and North Avenue Baptist
churches in Cambridge. After the
church meetings, rallies and song
services were held in the streets in
many parts of the city, and hundreds
of people on their way to work
stopped to participate in them. Many
delegates who did not attend the
morning meetings were astir early,
bent on sight seeing, and went singly
or in small battalions to the various
points of interest about the city. The
morning sessions of the convention
I'm Tents Williston and EndeavOr and
I'm Mechanics hall were attended by
the same great hosts that were there
Yesterday. Before 8 o'clock a throng
crowded the steps at the entrance to
Mechanics hall singing Endeavor
songs while they awaited admission.
On the common the scene was dupli-
Gated outside the tents. As on yester-
day hundreds were unable to secure
admittance at the hall and later re-
paired to the tents. The sessions In
the forenoon partook more of n bust
ness character than their predeces-
sors, interesting reports of the In
formation committee and reports from
the UNCONVENTIONAL meetings taking
