committee proposes to make canvass Of
the city, which has been divided into eleven
districts or sections for this purpose. The
work in each distrift will be in charge Of
one of the members of the central commit
tee. who will be assisted by sections Of the
auxiliary body assigned for such duty.
Before making the canvass however, no.
tees will be given general publicity in the
churches requesting all persons and fami-
lies who have any-,rooms which can be
placed at the dispdkal of the committee
to make the fact KID wn. Those who desire

to state in their applications the number
which can be provided for, what character Of
accommodations will be furnished-wheth-
er lodging only, or room and breakfast, or
room and board both-and the rate to be
charged. These applications will be care
fully classified, and record kept by means
the auxiliary committee will also visit the
houses offered for the purpose OF personal
inspection OF the accommodations offered,
and to satisfy the committee that the pro-
visions made. are suitable end f9pfortahle.
The Assignment Of De1eGates.
1t is expected that April 1 will see this
work well under way, and in May 1t may
be thought advisable to begin house-to-
house canvass, If more accommodations
are necessary. When the returns are all
III and classified, lists will be sent to the
ed for headquarters of delegations. from
which assignments Will be made to the
delegates as they arrive and are register
ed. For example, Pennsylvania is assign
ed to the Calvary Baptist Church, and ex-
poets to send a delegation OF 5000. A list
of accommodations for more than 5000
persons will be sent to that church, the
homes located as conveniently as possible
to the church. AS the delegates arrive in
the city they will be met at the depot by
members of the reception committee and
escorted to their assigned church, where
they will register and be given badges and
programs by members Of the registration
committee. Then they will be taken in
hand by representatives of the entertain
ment committee, who will select suitable
quarters and direct them to their assigned
homes, or have them escorted there by
one of the ushers. AS each assignment is
made, the name and address Of the dele
gate will be entered on card and filed for
reference.
There is mass Of detail abou. this
work OF the entertainment committee,
which would be confusing were 1t not for
the excellent system adopted To plan out
such an elaborate and complete scheme
requires more than common executive abil-
ity: to classify and arrange the indexes
and attend to the correspondence and the
many other duties calls for laborious effort
on the part Of the secretary; to put the
plans as adopted into practical operation
needs the continued and diligent applica-
ton of time and energy on the part of
each committee member, whether of the
central or auxiliary bodies. 1t is the opin-
Ion OF those whose judgment is regarded
with approval that these several require

sAMBUR HUNTING IN CEYLON.

Giant Stays and Dwarf Deer Among
the Lands Attractions for SpOrtsmen.
Some of the delights of Ceylon deer hunt
ing are described in Outing. There are
four varities of deer there, Of which the
sambur, erroneously called elk, Is most
sought, because it ia the largest and fierc-
est of all. The stag sambur stands from
twelve to fourteen hands high, and Is hunt
ed with pair of fierce dogs in leash to do
the throat grabbing and pack of trailers
to bring the beast to bay. The leash dogs
are a cross between fox and wolf hounds,
the others are fox hounds straight.
The rifle Is very seldom used in sambur
hunting, though once in a while one is
killed on runway like Adirondack deer.
This rifle killing Is necessary because a
number of young dogs are in the pack, who
to be properly trained should suck SAM
bur's throat blood" This is like the neces-
sary winter deer crusting with young dogs
A part Of the hunt will not be fully ap-
preciated by sportsmen in the United

my voice. 'Yoiks, to him! they made a

An Unaffected Princess,


OF all members Of the royal family the
Duchess OF Fife Is the one who dislikes
publicity the most, and probably no other
princess goes into public SO often without
being recognized. The duchess is extreme
ly fond of walking. and does most Of her
shopping on foot. and as she generally
wears thick veil her identity is seldom
revealed. Her royal highness does not care
about great festivities, and particularly dis
likes the official ceremonies of the court,
such as drawing rooms and state concerts.
The duchess Is never SO happy as when
she Is In the nursery with her two little
girls, and, indeed, 1t may truly be said that
she inherits all the home instincts Of her
mother. the Princess Of Wales The duch-
ess. like her sisters, Processes Victoria

a knowledge OF cooking such as would as
tonish good many middle-class house
keepers.
