u. Convention I'm London.
LONDON, June 21.-The third annual
convention of the Worlds w. G. I. u
opened in Queens hall, this city, at
9:3O o'clock a. M, Wednesday, with a.
prayer-meeting led by Mrs. Charles
Archibald, president of the maritime
provinces w. C. T. u, of Canada.
At l0a. m. the convention was called
to order by the president, Miss
Frances e. Willard. The roll-call OF
official members followed and then
the appointment of committees on
credentials, courtesies, finances and
resolutions. Then followed the re-
port of the executive committee,
the address of welcome by Lady Henry
Somerset, president of the British
Woman's Temperance association, and
singing by the white ribbon choir of
500 voices. Miss Willard then adj
dressed the meeting. She said in rela-
ton to liquor:
THE places in which intoxicants are sold
have become the rendezvous of those classes
which are either the foam of society or its
dregs; the do-nothings OF the upper
and neither edges Of the great social
wave. One Of our Chicago mayors
gave as reason why he did not close the sa-
looms on. Sunday that they were the traps in
which he was sure to catch criminals. If
bakers shops were the lurking places of the
burglar and the tramp, If the basest political
plots originated there, we should combine
against the baker rather than the publican.
I'VE are here, then. English-speaking wom-
en-, gathered out OF the leading nations of the
world, with few native pioneers from
oriental and continental countries, TO
put our heads and hearts together for
the building up of the womans home
protection movement, because it is the
fittest to survive, the best adapted to its
environment, and we are here for the pulling
down of the liquor system because. judged by
its effects, 1t is the most unfit and she least
adapted to that slowly improving environment
which is the outcome of Christianity working
on the minds and bodies of the hu,-an race"
The reports of the different superin-
tendents were delivered and at mid
day there was prayer, led by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Selmer, president of the Den
mark w. c. T. U. of Copenhagen. The
prayers were followed by memorial
service in honor of "Our Promoted
Comrades" the memorial address being
delivered by Miss Frances E. Willard.

the crown prince of Prussia. the prince
regent of Bavaria. the king of Saxony,

duke of Hesse and a number of others.
At dusk the scene on the water was
one of unparalleled beauty. All the
warships were outlined with fairy
like tracery of lamps, and some of them
had brilliant displays of fireworks.
Altogether the display was the most
brilliant ever seen here and probably
finer than any ever seen in Germany.
The fireworks display of the Ameri-
cans was the most admired. The New
York, the temporary flagship of the
squadron, had magnificent design
so feet long against her tunnels It
read: America sends hearty greeting
to Germany upon the completion of
the canal. Set pieces. pictures of the
emperor and President Cleveland, each
40 feet square, were also displayed.

sian officers have thrice examined her

An Aerial Lnnchenn.

Every fine day during the noon hour
persons passing the city hall on the west
side, if they are possessed of sharp
sight, can see for themselves Of what
iron nerve some men are the possessors.
Two workmen eat their midday lunch
while seated on the broad brim Of Will
liam PENIS hat, with their feet hang
ing over the edge. From this, the high
est spot in Philadelphia, if not in the
United States, these two chtms enjoy
each others company and exchange con-
fidences without any interference from
prying neighbors or jostling from the
madding crowd. A clerk in an adjoin-
ing bank trained an opera glass upon
the fearless pair the other day, and after
they had finished their dinners he saw
them pelt each other with bits Of bread.
Sometimes the two are joined by anoth-
er, who shows much more caution. He
sits with his back against the crown of
PENIS hat and smokes pipe, never
venturing to the edge Of the brim. -

II there can be degrees of meanness
in forgery, the manufacture Of sham
pennies with intent to betray the conf
dence Of slots must surely Jrm the low
est of them. A man was sentenced to
ID days imprisonment at the Mansion
House yesterday for using counterfeits
Of this description to minister TO guilty
passion for chocolate. His sham pennies
were of iron, and no doubt were made
with some care as to circumference and
weight, to enable them to answer their
purpose. This seems to touch the inf
nitely little Of Illegal industry. The
makers and ''utterern" of such false cur
rency must find it hard to look one an
other in the face, especially when they
are confronted with practitioners in the
highest reaches Of the art Their sharp
est punishment would be the contempt
Of an artist in the sovereign trade. -

Riding = Bucking Bull.

The boys are talking about the grit
displayed by Il colored lad named Doug
lass, who, at the Wild West show, when
ager to any one who would ride the
bucking bull around the ring, went for
ward and said he would undertake it,
The bull was led i'll, the manager ex-
planned to Douglass that the proprietor
of the show would not be responsible
for any injury to him and asked him to
state plainly to the audience that he
would not hold any one responsible but
himself if he got hurt The promise
was made
The animal, even in repose, with
ropes around his nose and horns, held
by three cowboys, looked something
like live earthquake. The saddle was
put on, and young Douglass mounted
the bnll He did not stay on half a
minute. First there was a wriggling
motion, as if the bull sought to ascer-
tain exactly what he had to deal with.
Even this wriggle must have made
Douglass feel as if he were on top Of a
volcano. Then the bull plunged TO the
right, and bending his spine to the shape
of drawn bow almost as quick as light
ming he shot the colored boy six feet
into the air. The lad landed on his
shoulders aud considered himself fortu-
nate TO come out alive.
The cowboys howled themselves
hoarse at the spectacle, while the audi
ence gave visible signs Of relief. for it
looked as if the young fellow was in
imminent danger of n fatal accident
1t is seldom that any one offers to ride
the bucking bull. 1t is foolhardy act
Only one Of the cowboys connected with
the show can stick on the animal a
minute. Cincinnati Tines-Star.
