Miss Poygansee, president OF the Chris
tan Endeavor Society of the Church Of
the Reformation. was the cause Of one Of
the most pleasant incidents Of the week
| come to light until today.
Believing that she could be of service to
| some of the visitors Miss Poygansee went
| to the Baltimore and Ohio station at the
early hour of 43O m. and there found
number of sleeping people from almost
every section Of the country. who had ar
rived on trains during the night.
Miss Poygansee made herself known to
each person present and in a little while
she had the man from Texas acquainted
with his fellow Endeavorer from Indiana,
and so on through the group until she had
| all in the depot acquainted with each other
and shortly after had regular interstate
conference in operation.
AS soon the people in the city began
see had each Of the visitors sent to the
soon all were made as comfortable as could
be expected.
Miss Poygansee said today that it a
| source of much regret to the members OF
the reception staff that SO many Endeav-
orers II ON other places come here without
wearing insignia of any kind. and in this
way the delegates themselves are often put
to much Inconvenience.
The members of the staff are ever ready
to give all the Information desired in ref
erence to the work of the convention. but
they hesitate to offer their services to
strangers who wear nothing to show that
they are Endeavorers, as by doing so they
frequently expose themselves to sneering
and uncomplimentary remarks on the part
Of some Of those to whom they desire to
show courtesy.

the delegation gives promise of being a
unit on the silver question, there being one
lone delegate, Mrs. Ella r. Searle of Phoe-
nix. Ariz. Mrs. Searle is in hopes of being
