OBJECTED TO The CHANGE
Stormy Session Of the Catholic
Benevolent Society Threatned.
Members Wish to Elimina ( he Word
Irish" From the Title, But
No Action Was Taken.

The Irish Catholic Benevolent Associa-
tion resumed its sessions this morning at
Carroll Hall. The delegates were late in
getting together, as many of them availed
themselves of the cool morning and drove
about the city.
Some feeling was manifested by the
prompt delegates over the tardiness of
the Others, and a motion was made to
declare the offices OF president and secre-
tary vacant, but cooler counsel prevailed
and the motion was voted down.
To keep the delegates in good humor until
the presiding officer and his secretary
arrived, these present were grouped and
photographed; but after this was COM
pleied the president failed 10 appear ard
on motion, Mrs. Katie German, Of Rhode
Island, the second vice president, was
requested to preside.
Mr. George T. Dougherty, of Pittsburg,
threw bomb into the meeting by reading
a paper in which a change of The name Of
the association was suggested.
The name proposed was Union Cath
o!ic Benevolent Association as q sub
situte for Irish Catholic Bencvole mt
Association" ..-
This brought nearly all the delegates
to their fett and the cry "Mr. President
could be heard in every portion OF the hall.
Numerous motions were made and order
finally restored a member making i
motion tu lay the matter on the table until
the call of new business.
The committee on amendments to the
constitution made report and among the
amendments was one to change the name
of the association to The Catholic Le-
nevolent Union of America" The report
of the committee was adopted by sections,
and the meeting adjourned before the
amendment for the change of the name of
the association was reached.

POINTS FOR LETTER WRITING.
Many Things Should BE Considered In
Inditing EpisfIcs.


One of the fine arts in letter-writing, says
a writer who is also an observer and thinker,
is TO conform your style Vf writing per
fectly othe person whom you address Many
things must be considered-the age, tie
degree of Intelligence. the social position
and the amount OF familiarity you have
with your correspondent are only a few of
the points which the good letter-writer re-
members always while he writes
Notes which are written with feeling of
kindly encouragement, OF courteous expla
nation OF of apology for some omission
ofattention can never he classed rs superfln-
Gus or wrong. Such notes may not always
be exacted by the strictest rules of eti-
quette, but If they are prompted by thought
of kind helpfuIness to other human creatures
they are never UNNECESSARY to the hand
which writes them. But perhaps it is not
too much to say here that unsought advice
about private affairs, being unusually mis-
take, goes further when 1t is written, and
leans toward impertinence.
Letter writing like all other human ac-
tions. must be judged largely by the motive.
Yet although the brief notes pertaining to
the courtesies OF social life may be freely
sent. it is best 10 consider more carefully
the longer letters, in which the indiscreet
writer often betrays secrets of heart and
mind.
No one should send letter written in
anger or bitterness of spirit. Such let
ter may be an escape valve for burt state
OF mind; but the writing of it should esuf-
ficient. Let it be dropped into the flames,
not into the letter box. Answer every let
ter scon, before the glow of pleasure at its
reception has faded away. Discard pos
tails as an enemy to grace and 10 the leisure
of polite society. They are useful only
to limited extent By people who have busi-
ness to communicate briefly. Even then
only unimportant matters, not confiden-
tiai, should be trusted to the medium Of the
postal card.
