EPWORTH LEAGUERS.
May Hold the Big Conference in the Fair
GrOunds-The Program.


Epworth League State conference
met Wednesday night at Travis
Park church. A committee was
appointed to confer with the rail-
roads in regard to an excursion to
Mexico. 1t is thought that the ex-
cursion will extend only as far as
Monterey, as a further journey
would necessitate travelling on
Sunday, to which leaguers are
constitutio nally opposed.
The only drawback now is one
which invariably discommOdes q
large convention in San Antonio,
namely, the lack Of a suitable
place for holding the conference.
Probably the place which most
commends itself to the leaguers is
the exposition hall at the fair
grounds. II the question of trans
portation can be satisfactorily
arranged 1t is almost certain that
the conference committee will
select that place.
