An International Directory

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 3O.-In
the executive committee of the Bureau
of American republics, and of which
Secretary John Sherman is chairman
and Joseph z. Smith, of Ohio, director,
active work has been begun with the
aid of large corps of clerks for the
preparation of a comprehensive and re-
Liable international Commercial Direc.
tory of the American republics. The
directory will contain upwards of sixty
thousand names, together with the ad-
dre-s and lines of business of the re-
putable commercial concerns of the
Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Brazil
Chile, Colon bia, Costa Rica, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico,
Nicarag qua, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador,
Santo Domingo, United States, Uru-
quay, Venezuela and the West Indies
and it is intended to make the volume
the most complete and accurate ever
issued in any of these countries. Tne
expense of the publication will be
enormous, and hence it has been de.
clded to make charge of five dollars
for the possession and use OF copy OF
the directory for one Year. The work
is to be revised annually, and it will,
it is expected, be ready for distri bu-
tion from the headquarters of the
bureau early in September.

| : COLUMBUS, June 3O.-The democrat
i'ic state convention met at eleven
O'Clock with very large attenda ance.
| The scene was very animated at first
by the display in the convention when
Tom Bergen carried in a "a cross of
gold and crown of thorns." A clock
on the crown pointed to 16 to l. State
Senator Sloan was elected temporary
chairman and made an address which
attacked Hanna and urged the con-
vention to name no one on the ticket
not an out spoken friend to free silver in
the presidential campaign of last
autumn. Platform adopted endorses
the Chicago platform in its entirety
and 'denounces the British gold bond
funding bill" Demands all corpora
tions chartered by the state to forfeit
its charters on entering trust. 1t
favors direct legislation through the
initiative and referendum.
A Cuban resolution, demanding the
immediate recognition of the belliger-
ent rights for Cuba was read. 1t was
framed by Correspondent James Creel-
form. Then came the nominations for
governor. Paul j. Sorg was nominal
ed amid weak applause: also Judge
Smalley, of Wyandotte; Allen w.
Thurman, of Columbus, was named
amid much applause. Donovan, Hough
aud Chapman also were nominated and
the latter receiving the greatest ap-
plause.
The vote on the first ballot for gov
ernor was: Lorg, 11S; Smalley, lis:
Thurman 1S; Donovan, 100; Chapman,
242: scattering, 125. The name of
Hough was withdrawn.
The mention of Hanna's name was
hissed, but the mention of

immeuSe enthusiasm. For several
the delegates waved fans and
stood on seats while they roared with
delight.
Chapman was nominated for COVER
nor on the second ballot.

Help the Fallen.

Ell PASO, Tex, June %, 1897.
To the editor of the HERALD:-I beg
to enquire through your valuable pa
per, what good the churches of Ell
lish. Sin and vice go on unchecked,
and the churches sit back and raise
not hand to lift the fallen or to abol-
ish crime. When Christ was on earth,
did he grandly deck himself, and sit
on a pedestal and wait for the fallen to
come to him to be saved? Let them
begin to try to reform the fallen men
Of this town and the fallen women, who
are mere handful in cOmparisOn-will
not be hard to reach and lift up.
Oh heaven, grant that none of these
sinful men are amongst those who
profess to be followers Of Christ! What
a horrible thought! To profess to be
on the side of purity and goodness
even to send money to convert the
heathen-and at the 81 me time giving
their money to enabl- Institutions of
crime, to send degraded girls still fur
tner down the path of destruction, and
and entrap innocent girls, for this is
what it ali amounts to. wonder God
does not strike dead such people. Why
do not all these brutes, whether
hypocrite or intidel, stop to think of
their own sisters-how they may be
the next who are sold into bondage
Of sin. We might have this horrible
thing wiped out of existence, if only
those girls were evil, who entered
upon the downward career of her own
accord, as three fourths are decoyed,
entrapped and driven to this life by
young men who pass for respectable
and even some hypocrites who have
their names on church rolls, help to
maintain this awful traffic, this fear
full crime. How long, oh Lord, how
long,. Mrs. HELEN WIER.

School Teachers, Meeting.

NEW YOKk, June 3O.-The ffty-sec-
ond annual convention of the New
York State Teachers association has
brought to the city nearly ten thous-
and instructors of the youthful mind
from all over the state. The most in
teresting feature of the affair is an ex-
hibit of the work accomplished in the
three hundred departments of the city
schools in the fields OF English, draw
ing, penmanship, geometry, bookkeep-
ing, physical culture, clay modelling
and manual training. The exhibit is
unique in many respects, and demon
strates the marvellous progress that has
been made of recent years in indus
trial education. An interesting feature
is a series of drawings of houses, forty
three in number. the scholars contri-
buting to this department being given
carte blanche to draw just such house
both as to exterior and interior, as
they would like to own. The result is
some decidedly novel suggestions in
the way of interior arrangement, en-
bellishment and economy of room.
