From the delegates to the Christian
Eudeavor convention at Wentworth
Saturday and Sunday we learn that 1t
was a very interesting occasion. Though
Il district convention comprising only
two counties there were forty accredited
delegates. and the outside attendance
was very large. The social and spiritual
feeling OF the convention was warm and
enthusiastic, and productive OF Christian
thought and sentiment. The former
officers we're all re elected: Miss Emily
Clark, president, Madison; S. K. Lamp
here, vice president, Smythe; Arthur
Sherwin, corresponding secretary and
treasurer, Flandrau; Miss Alice Currie,
recording secretary, Ramona. The next
annual meeting, June, 1898, will be held
at Flandrau.
The friends Of Rev. w. }. Cleveland
will be pleased to read the following ex.
tract from a business letter received
from the reverend gentleman by The
DAILY LEADER, dated West Orange, n.
j., June Is: II have just accepted
Calvary chapel, East Twenty-third
street., New York City. and expect to
enter upon my duties there, with oc-
cassional service at Calvary church
during the absence of it's rector, DR.
Parks, in the summer months. AS there
are 500 communicates at Calvary chapel
and nearly 1900 at Calvary church, you
can see that 1 may expect to be kept
pretty busy from this on. There are
assistant clergymen at both places, and
the work is 30 convenient to my ole
home in West OraLge, where my sister
and aged aunt are, that | shall be able
to reside here while doing business, as
it were, in the CITY,"
Fred Palmer received q letter last
evening from his nephew, Rock Brown
on the Pacific coast which contains both
good and bad news. Rock had recently
run a 1O5-mile bicycle race against
professional IN seven hours and 10 min
utes, beating his opponent by a little
over an hour which has given him con
siderable Of a reputation on the coast
But since that time he has met with
very serious accident. While at his us
ual occupation Of riding down a chut
into the ocean it seems that just befor
striking the water the riders are in tn
habit OF jumping from the bicycle whe
they make the plunge. In making thi
leap on his last effort Mr.. Brown in som
way carelessly he thinks struck the en-
, of his amputated limb on the handlebs
causing a rupture OF the blood vessel
and injuring the bone. The physical
says it is a very dangerous wound. 1t
badly infiamed and the doctor says ths
if .erysipelas, which he fears, sets il
blood poisoning will follow and ther
will be no saving his life. Rocks man
friends here will greatly regret his ser
Gus misfortune and hope for his reco'
cry.
