THE complaint of the Popocrats now is
that they have few national orators whom
the crowds care for. In fact, outside of the
Boy Orator, they have yet to produce any
stars in their speI-hndin% department., and
the more lie talks the more he loses his
stellar reputation. The oratorical giants
who think as we'll as spout, are for sound
money almost to man.

TuDilSlCu Ill LUlluUus
A cablegram from London says: The

lynching committee Of England, which is
as follows:
"ANNAPoLIs, MD, Aug. 10.
"MY DEAR Miss BALGARINE:
81 have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the 2lst
of July, 1896, enclosing clippings from the
Echo of June Doth and July 18th, 1896,
and making inquiries in regard to the facts
connected with the lynching Of Joseph
Cooking at La Plata, Md.
I'm reply, l beg to enclose for your in
formation clippings from the Baltimore
American and the Sun, giving full account
OF the lamentable affair, from which it will
be seen that the prisoner, who was in the
legal custody of the sheriff of Charles
county charged with the murder OF his
wife and sister-in-law, was forcbly taken
therelrom by an armed body of men and
| lynched. ] note with much qualification
your statement that your committee, and
in fact the British public generally, have
always held Maryland in high respect as a
particularly aw-abiding and law-loving
State and in order the more fully to assure
you that the confidence thus expressed has
not been misplaced | enclose for your in
formation clippings from the daily press
concerning the crime, from which you will
at once perceive that the event was a great
shock to the high moral sense OF our peo-
pie, and has already been commented upon
as an uniustiliable departure from the
course OF procedure which the law points
out as proper in such cases.
SIN this connection it is proper to say
that in addition to the efforts of the local
authorities, aid, with view to putting a
top to such gross violations of the law, [
have offered reward Of 81, 600 70 infor-
nation which will lead to the arrest and
convictions OF the persons guilty OF this
crime, copy of which is also enclosed.
'In conclusion, permit me to assure your
committee that every effort is being made
to discover the guilty parties in order that
they may be brought before the proper
tribunals to answer for their conduct,
which has already been SO universally con-
demned by this community"
The letter is signed ''Lloyd Lowndes,
Governor of Maryland.

MASSACHUSETTS. Rev. DIR. Bid
die began his pastorate at Brookline last
Sunday. The Leader says: 1.-THE society
was established several years ago, and
has enjoyed the labors of excellent and
faithful ministers. The church editice,
while not large, is admirably situated
and convenient from many directions.
The parish consists of faithful and en-
ergetic members, who have proved them
selves loyal to its interests. 1t has a
band of capable women, who are active
in its enterprises, and circle of young
people identified with its social and
parish work. Capable business men
have the direction of it's affairs. DIR.
Biddle brings large experience and
hopefulness to his work. Brookline is
an important center of population. and
the Universalists. with others. ought to
have share in building up its religious
life. The State Convention to be
held at Haverhill Sept 1924 will be
great in numbers as it will of course be
in character, or DIR. Snow and his
people are working hard in vain. The
officers and the parish have begun with
the determination that the occasion
shall be memorable.

OREGON.

PORTLAND CHURCH READING ROOM.
After careful consideration the Uni
versalists of Portland. Oregon, have
deemed it both feasible and desirable to
establish reading room in connection
with our church. We believe that we
have based our endeavor on practic-
able plan, that it will meet the hearty
approval and the endorsement of our
denomination and that it will result in
great good by introducing to US an ex-
ceptionally desirable class of young
men.
Our plan in lieu of fund for this
purpose. is to enlist the Universalists
of the country in this enterprise. We
desire their approval and their co-opera-
ton. While any feeling so disposed
may contribute money, we would rather
have you subscribe for us to some desir-
able magazine or paper. We think it
best that you confer with us and in this
way inform US what you can best con-
tribute and at the same time ascertain
what would be most acceptable to us.
Unless this be done there will be danger
OF our overlapping and thereby securing
three or four of one sheet and none of
another equally desirable. Hence, let US
know what you care to contribute and if
such be not already secured we shall
gladly accept it.
Many of these periodicals can be re-
ceived into your homes. read and re-
mailed to US. We are not going to be 30
Independent. nor so fastidious as to de-
mand that they be new and right from
press.
Our idea is to furnish our readers with
matter of religious, theological, social,
economical and political nature; and
hence we are thinking to secure our
UNCONVENTIONAL press, popular standard
magazines, standard weeklies. secular
and otherwise, and standard magazines
on special lines.
We again ask your hearty co-opera-
ton in this matter. We trust that all
who read this will consider it personal
appeal and that the one referred to is
you. l had rather you passed it by than
to read it casually and carelessly. We
feel that it merits the careful considera-
ton of all. We are asking that which
you can easily do; that which you can
do without. interfering with other duties
or obligations. Let us hear from you
right early. Contributions may be sent
to Frank Blackboard, pastor, 921s Grand
Ave-. or to First Universalist Church.

THE TEXAS CONVENTION.

The Texas Universalist Convention
recently met at Enon, Houston county.
An arbor was provided. and a large con-
course of people were present at each
session.
Reports of State work during the past
year were very encouraging.
A smaller number of ministers than
usual were present. owing to the dis
lance from other centers of work, rend
ering trip to and from Enon very ex-
pensive.
A good deal of business was transacted
and the best of harmony prevailed.
The Convention lasted three days, dur
ing which eight sermons were preached,
besides interesting conference meet
ings being held, showing that the peo-
pie in that section were determined to
improve every hour of this State gath
ering. Rev. @. H. Rogers's eloquent dis
courses were prominent and helpful
features of the occasion.
The same officers were elected for the
ensuing year. with exception of Rev.
James Billings, the missionary veteran,
who. after his long service as President
of the Convention, owing to the infirm-
tiles of age, resigned his position. Rev.
Mr.. Rogers, at his recommendation was
elected in his stead. Mr.. Billings still
retains the Office of State Superintendent
of Missions, and probably will as long as
he lives.
The executive board for the coming
year is Rev. G. H. Rogers. President; H..
E. Conger of Waco, Vice. President; DIR.
Daniel Pingree of Hico, Treasurer; Rev.
X. Strain of Grapeland, Secretary; DIR.
Caverniss of Jacksonville, VIM. James of
Clebarne.

strates what can be accomplished by
united effort. This shows also what can
be done by making beginning" as
