EIGHTH HNNUHL REUNION.
Loyal Home Workers Enjoying the Pleas
ures of Encampment Week.

Loyal Home Workers Enjoying the Pleas
ures of Encampment Week.
The eighth annual Reunion of the Loyal
Home Workers is in progress this week at
Buffalo. Much of the enjoyment of the
visit OF the organization to the Queen City

the Encampment committees, which are
complete in every way.
Buffalo is city not only of many natural

handsome parks and gardens, and educa-
tiona and benevolent Institutions that are
now here exceled by any city of its size.
Buffalo is fast becoming an educational, lit
erary, and art center. 1t has fourishing
newspapers and periodicals, and among its
foremost people are many who have taken a
high rank In literature and journalism.
There is a sturdy air about Buffalo of
which every one is conscious who enters. 1t
stands on a bold bluff facing Lake Erie, and
was the port Of entry and exit through
which the traffic of the Great Lakes passed
long before the great cities to the west of
her were developed.
For many years Buffalo, at the foot of the
great chain of lakes, led all other cities of
the lakes in commercial Importance. The
result was stable population, well cal
culated TO foster the energiziDg forces of .
high civilization. The women of Buffalo
have kept pace with the men, and the
Nomen's Educational Union, in whose build
ing the Loyal Home Workers expect TO hold
their meetings is the sooality which brings
together on common ground great chain of
woman's activities.

Road Bill Probably Killed.

At Tuesday'sssession Of the legisla-
ture the Hamilton road bill was taken
up at the opening of the afternoon
session for third reading and final
passage and heated discussion fol-
lowed. Mr.. Moore, of Susquehanna,
moved to 60 into committee of the
whole for special amendment. The
motion carried and he offered an
amendment that the act should not
go into effect until $I,ooo,ooo have
been appropriated by the state to be
distributed in proportion to the num-
Der of miles Of public roads in each
township; that no township shall re-
ceive more state money than it raises
by local taxation, and that the money
so appropriated shall be expended in
making and maintaining public roads.
After long and heated discussion
the report of the committee was adopt
ed and the bill went through third
reading as amended and was laid
aside for printing and final passage.
The friends of the measure admit that
the amendment kills it.
