National w. C. T. q. Convention
Notes.
The twenty third annual convention of
the National W. G. T. u, which is to be
teld in St. Louis November 10 to IS,
1896, will be in many respects one
of the most remarkable gatherings this
great organization has yet held. New
and striking features are to be added to
the program and there will be an array
of talent such as is seldom seen.
The convention will be held in Music
Hall, Exposition Building, located in the
block bounded by Olive, Locust, Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets. Music
Hall is 200 feet long, 1870 feet wide and
80 feet high, and seats 1000 people, while
the stage seats 1900. The stage will be
closed, leaving only necessary room,
until the last night, when it will be
opened for the grand demonstration.
Besides the. large hall there is small
| hall seating 1900 and innumerable small
rooms for committees and other purposes.
Of fao oF
in the coming W. G. T. U. Convention
| will be an Arme nian mass meeting, to be
held on Sunday, November 10Th, at 2 p.
m. 1t will be held in Music Hall, aud it
is hoped that those who have done most
for the cause of suffering Armenia, will
be there in person and make brief
| addresses. Miss Clara Barton is invited.
also Rev. F. d. Greene, Treasurer of
Armenian Relief Committee, H. M.
Kiretchjian, Secretary of Armenian
Relief Association, Rebecca Krikorisp,
Miss Margaret Leitch, Miss Willimina
Armstrong, and Rev. W. B. Palmore,
Missionaries. The name is not only to
make this a service of arousal for
the aid of Armenia. but also
memorial to the 100, 900 who have been
slaughtered.
The music for the entire convention is
in the hands of Mrs. G. G. Hardcastle.
She has secured very popular double
quartette and colored quartette besides
| a finely trained chorus. Mrs. Patterson,
of Warrensburg, Mo-, is musical director,
and Mr.. Ball, of st. Louis, will lead the
chorus. 1t is hoped that Mrs. Alice J.
Harris, former musical director of the
convention, will be at her old post.
Those who remember her inspiring voice
and personality iD the past, cannot fail to
look forward to hearing and seeing her
once again.
The convention Sermon is to be
preached by Miss Elizabeth v. Green
! wood, Worlds and National Superin-
tendent of Evangelistic Work. Owing
to the fact that the Armenian mass meet
ing will be held in Music Hall on Sunday
p. M, the annual sermon will be preached
on Sunday morning in the Union M. E.
Church. All delegates and members of
the convention. not themselves occupying
pulpits at that time, are expe cted to be
in attendance.
The usbers for the convention are to be
furnished by the Y. M. G. A., the Y. P.
8. G. E., Epworth League and B. Y. P.

lawyer. Miss Anna R. Robbins has
charge of the pages for the day sessions,
and the lady ushers. The pages will be

| at one dollar each to person wishing to
secure them. These are good for every
session except Sunday. Besides these
there are two Thousand free seats, and the
seats reserved for the delegates. Any
visitor desiring to obtain reserved seat

Reduced rates have been secured at all
hotels and boarding houses, and it is
hoped that many visitors will avail them
selves of this opportunity of visiting st.
Louis and the convention.
A special feature of the convention is
to be made of children's work. Monday
evening the entire program is to be given
up to the departments Of Loyal Temper
a1ce Legion and Scientific Temperance
Instruction, under the direction of their
able Superintendent. Mrs. Helen G.
Rice and Mrs. Mary a.. Hunt Each of
the Presidents of the States having State
Loyal Temperance Legions is to make a
five minutes address, and there will be
music and Rotations iby the children.
The program for the, department of
Scientific Temperance Instruction has
not Yet been received at headquarters,
but those who know Mrs. Hunts general
ship and ability have no fears as to its
nature. 1t cannot fail to be such as to
arouse and inspire.
Tuesday night the program will be
in the hands of the Presidents
of the States which have made an
increase of 500 or more members during
the past year. Five States are thus far
upon the honor roll, Michigan, Massachu-
sets, Maryland, Louisiana and New
Jersey. 1t is expected that others will be
added.
Sincerely,
RUTH.
