THE POSTAL CONVENTION.
A Notable International f
Ocenr I'm Nnv


The congress of the International Post
Union will meet in Washington the first
Wednesday in May, 1897. All the civilized
countries Of the world will be represented.
Three countries not yet in the union will be
taken in-the Chinese empire, the Orange
Free States and Corea
The Post Office Department authorities
convention. Fhe Senate chamber, the new
library and the Corcoran Art Gallery have
all been talked of.
The business of the congress is conducted
behind closed doors, and in the French
language. There will be a preliminary
meeting the day before the session is Off
cially convened. Some representative of
the Post Office Department will be named
as presiding officer of the congress, which
will, according to precedent, be the first
assistant postmaster general.
The United States can appoint as many
delegates to this congress as it desires, ut
1t would have but one vote. Postmaster
General Wilson has made no selection of
delegates yet, and will probably leave that
duty to his successor The Postmaster
General of the United States will open the
proceedings with an address of welcome
All questions will be decided by a ma ajority
vote unless a country could not agree on
the ground that certain features of the
treaty would be incompatible with the
countrys interests. But few such objec-
items arise. The last act of the congress
will be the signing Of the postal treaty upon
which the signatures of the representatives
of all countries are attached, together with
the seals of each country. The congress
will be in session about month.

CRITTENTON MEETINGS,
Unusual Success of the Mission Work.
er's Campaign.

er'S CamEnfEn.
The meetings which Mr. Charles ". Crit
tenton, the evangelist is conducting at the
Metropolitan NJ. E. Church, are meeting
with an unusual degree of success. and
cations have grown steadily, until yester-
day afternoon the church, large as it is
was not large enough to accommodate the
crowds that desired to hear him. The
meetings will be continued through this
week.
Last Saturday afternoon Mr.. Crittenton
conducted service especially for children
For the benefit Of his little hearers he drew
beautiful picture of the life of Christ
and concluded by urging them to pattern
their lives after that of Him who said
Suffer little children to come unto me-"
In the evening, at the conservation meet
ing, he addressed another large conprega-
ton.
Yesterday afternoon he spoke at the First
congregational Church on the subject of
the work of the Florence Crittenton mis-
sions In raising up fallen women. Shortly
after beginning his work in the slums Mr.
Crlttenton said. he was pleading with an
erflng woman to change the manner of
her life. He told her to go and sir no more
When the thought came over him with
stunning force that there was no place for
her TO go. 1t was the object of the Crit
tenton missions to furnish just such
place of refuge. Mrs Kate Waller Barrett
also made stirring address, and told of
the work of the Crittenton Mission in
washington. Ware she said there was
more room for ca 'neSt, active efforts than
IN any city in the world. In the evening
the evangelist spoke at the Epiphany
Church. Mr.. Crittenton was formerly a
Vestryman of the New York church of
which Dr. Mckim was then the rector.

We hear great deal about purify
ing the blood. The way to purify it
is to enrich it. Blood is not a simple
fluid like water. 1t is made I'D of
minute bodies, and when these are
deficient, the blood lacks the life
giving principle. SCOTS Emulsion
is not a mere blood purifier. 1t ac-
tually increases the number of the
red corpuscles in the blood and
changes unhealthy action into health.
If you want to learn more of it we
have book, which tells the story in
simple words.

Spanish Cruelty.

To til, Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your editorial last Monday on the brutal
execution at Havana of the Cuban patriot
Lopez Coloma had the genuine ring of
Americanism. His death was like that of
Nathan Hale at the hands of the British in
New York during our war of independence.
Why do the people Of the United States
stand idly by and see these ghastly TRACE
dies of Spanish misrule repeated day after
day In Cuba? Is it really a secret cowar-
dice-a fear Of war with Spain and some
inconvenience and loss 1t might produce
Suppose the French government had been
afraid of war with England when assist
ance asked by our infant republic in
1116 and 1777? Our terrible and exhaustinp
struggle would have lasted indefinitely Ion
ger, and mi ght have ended in defeat
Another question in this connection: Why
are the SpaniardS the most notorious Cor
cruelty OF any nation in modern Europe?
suggestive answer is afforded by a recent
report Of Consul General Bowen al BARGE
lena. showing that from April to October of
this year no less than LBS bulls and ; 7:S0
horses were publicly tortured to death in
the ma Honal SPORT of buIl-baiting, mis-
called bull-fighting. The cost of these un-
fortunate animals was $5oO,U0D, a strange

women, as at the gladiaaori1l shows in
pagan Rome, are the most wildly en1hu-

babies drink i'm cru 4lty with their mothers

brought up to familiarity with these bull
nsnts. No wonder a crop of Spanish gener-
ais results like Burriel, Weyl.- and others
