| Remarkable Occurrence.
| Mrs. Carse said that when II was
considered that the receipts for 1896
were s14,462 less than the preceding
year. II was remarkable that the as
sociation had been able to hold It's
own. Miss Willard read a letter from
Titiana Tolstoy. daughter of the Rus
sian count by that name. In which she
said: Your nephew said you and
Lady Somerset were perhaps coming to
Russia My father and I were very
pleased to hear that news. and we
hope that you will then pay us visit
IL your voyage will take place. In
connection with this Miss Willard
spoke of another letter she had re-
| ceived from the same source In which
the writer said she and her father
were interested heart and soul in the
work of the w. c. T. U. After the
receipts of some w. G. T. u. docu-
ments by the count he and his whole
family became total abstainers. Miss
Willard reported. Miss Frances j.
