Night had settled upon the city and in
the quasi darkness neither his features
nor apparel could be noted with any de-
gree of accuracy. At the conclusion of
his address collection was taken up by
a younger companion and the small
crowd thoughtfully dispersed. The OBJ
server, pleased with the fragment of the
speech he had heard, stepped up to him
and addressed him. A short converse
ton ensued, and a small number of

along, and not appreciating the
situation, ordered the fellow TO move
on. He replied most courteously and
prepared to follow the officers COM
mand with no show of anger or surprise.
The observer invited him within doors
and discovered, when the room was
lighted, he was in rags.
"Yeu seem suprised,' said the va
grant. ''I am gentlemen of education
and refinement, yet you see me tonight
in rags without money enough to pur-
chase my lodging and breakfast" He
then went on to explain that he could get
no kind of employment, and that he was
compelled to follow the road and do as
the officer had so little time previ-
ously ordered, "move on In his
travels he had. met another in the same
predicament, but younger and not so
able to care for himself. He decided
therefore on reaching The Dalles to make
an open air speech on the steets, the first
he ever delivered outside of hall, hop
ing that he could get collection large
enough to pay for lodging and breakfast
for the two. The collection he admitted
amounted to 35 cents. When asked
where he was going, he replied he was
en- route to some educational institution
in Montana, where he hoped to secure a
position as an instructor in Greek and
Latin and other higher studies that
might be demanded.

fifteenth international Christian En-

day closed last night The local com
mittee has every reason to feel SAILS
fed with the result of its work and is
cengratulating itself on its splendid
achievements. The boal q of trustees at
a meeting passed resolutions extending
its heartiest thanks to the city for it's
hospitality and TO individuals ard
committees particip atirg in the work
that had been brought to such a sue
cessful conclusion. OF the great choir
of near 5000 voices the trustees said:
Never was there choir so large, bet
ter trained or reader in the various
services" Notwithstanding the multi
tudinlus services which have been held
taxing the tine Of tile EndeaNorers,
the attendance at all Of them has been
of a most gratifying character. A
spiritual feeling pervaded the
the city throughout the convention
and the greatest good is anticipated as
a result. Although the registration of
delegates and visitors foots up only
10000, yet there were a great many
who did not notify the registration
committee of their presence, so that
the actual attendance is considerably
beyond that number. The presidents
of the various states and provincial
unions had a conference with the
trustees and issued public statement
expressing the conviction that, gener-
ally speaking, the conduct of the Chris
tian Endeavor movement has been
most wise and in obedience to manifest
providential leadings; that it has been
signally blessed in the self sacrifice
and devoted service of the officers and
trustees; that the latter have not sought
control of the government other
than by directing it into channels of
development and usefulness.

OURCOLORED WOMEN
TWO OF THEIR NATIONAL CON
MENTIONS TO MEET.
MRS. HELEN A. COOKS VIEWS
Probability of Union Women not after
Suffrage-They will Work to Perfect
Home Virtues FirstMrs. Booker
I. Washington President Of One q
the Conventions.

Washington, July 1.-THE National
League of Colored Women of America
will hold national convention for
three days, beginning today. The
gathering will have in view an ANAL
gamation with the National Federation
of Afro-American Women, which was
organized in Boston last July, and Will
hold its annual meeting in this city on
the 25th. II the amalgamation should
take place. the union would form the
largest body of eolored women in the
world, as both organizations are strong
in membership.
Mrs. Booker T. Washington, of lns-
kegee, Ala, is president of the National
Federation of Afro-American Women,
and Mrs Helen "a. Cook Of Washington
is the president of the National
League OF Colored Women of America.
The objects of both organizations are
similar, but there is difference about
the name, many of the colored women
not favoring the word Afro-American.
The National League of Colored
Women was founded by Mrs. Helen A,
Cook of Washington about four years
ago. 1t was at first a distinctively
local body. and no thought was had at
that time by the managers that it
would so soon become a society of in
terstate membership. But correspon-
dence between Mrs Cook and other
leading colored women in different
parts of the country led to the conclu-
sion that the lime had ar
rived for the women to make a
united movement for the benefit and
advancement of their fellow-women,
and so Mrs Cook, Mrs. Grimke and
others issued the invitation resulting
in the coming convention,
The sessions of the league will be
held in the Fifteenth Street Presbyter-
ian church. There will be three gen
eral topics for discussion during the
conyention-Wom as an Educator,
Women in the Professions and Women
in the Home OF the objects of the
convention Mrs. Cook says: Besides

the presence and consideration of its
members, there remains the great cause
of education, which falls to women
without their volition and leaves them
no power of choice. How best they
shall foster the growth Of the sterling
virtues, truth, honesty, faithfulness to
duty; how assist in forming habits of
industry, thrift and self-denial; by
what means they may surround chill
dren, even in the humblest homes, with
the refining influences of gentleness
and courtesy are some of the
questions the conference will discuss. =
What eommends our work to the
home-loving women of the country, ="
said Mrs. Lucilla Weston, {" is the fact
that we are not seeking political equal

believe that women are legally as well
