INTERN ArroNAL Y. NJ. c. AS.
The ThirtY-SecOnd Convention to BE
Held i'm Mobile This Month.


In accordance with the action of the
Springfield convention. and by invitation
of the Mobile Association, the thirty-sec-
ond international convention of the Young
Mems Christian Association win be held
at Mobile, Ala, April q to %.
The last International convention held
in the south met in Atlanta in 1885. The
twelve years that have elapsed since then
have been marked by substantial extern
sion and internal development of Chris
tian work among young men. The stabil
ity of the associations has been severely
tested by the recent years of financial diff
ficulty. While few have been obliged to
suspend part or all of their activity re-
ports from the entire field show steady
growth along every line of work. The eX-
ceptionally low rate of one limited first
class fare for the round trip has already
been granted by the leading railroads of
the country. These tickets will be good
to lay over, returning at Montgomery or
Selma, to accommodate those desiring to
attend the international conference of gem
eral secretaries.
The city of Mobile is to entertain the
delegates in a royal manner. Committees
have been appointed from the board of
trade, cotton exchange, Young Mems
Christian Association and other organiza-
tons that will make the trip indeed pleas
ant to those who attend. The delegates
will be entertained free of cost, but to those
who prefer the hotels will be granted very
low rates.
Among the prominent men to take part
in the convention are Rev. c. l. Scofield,
D. D., of East Mortified, Mass, who will
give a series of addresses on Bible topics
The quiet hour service, led by Mr.. John
r. Mott, will occupy Thursday morning
Right Rev. David Sessums, d. D., bishop
of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Louisiana, will address the convention on
a topic connected with the spiritual work.
and Chancellor James H. kirkland, LII
D.. of Vanderbilt University, on a topic
related to the educational work of the
associations.
The work of young men in mission lands
will be presented by Mr.. L. D. Wishard
and by Mr.. Robert r. Galley of Prince
ton University, who expects to become a
worker among them in the autumn. Mr.
John R. Mott will speak on THE Students
of the World United
Representation in the convention is
based on the number of active members
Associations having 100 members or less
are entitled to two delegates, and one
additional delegate for each additional 100
active members. The Savannah associa-
tons expects to have a full delegation at
the convention.

FOUND AN OLD ORDINANCE.
So Alderman KrOusI<OR Withdrew
His Green Grocer Bill.

Alderman Krouskoff's ordinance requir-
ing parties desiring to establish green gro
ceries to secure the consent of the ma
jority of the persons residing within three
blocks was withdrawn at the meeting of
the city council last night.
Alderman KrouslSoff said he introduced
the ordinance as much for the protection
of property owners as for the protection
of the market. He had found an ordi-
nance, however, which had never been en-
forced, providing similar regulations. and
he accordingly withdrew his ordinance.
Alderman Krouskon referred to section
1853 Of MacDonelrs code, adopted April 8,
1873, which provides that persons desiring
to establish green groceries shall present
their applications to the market commit
tee, stating the proposed location, with
the names of securities, the application to
be Endorsed by at least three nearest resi-
dents and three freeholders in the dis
trict; whereupon, the ordinance states, the
the application. The applicant is
required to give bond to
the city in the sum of $500, with two APP
proved sureties The conditions of the
bond are that the grocery shall be kept
clean and that the grocer will not expose
for sale any "grown-meat cattle" without
taking TO the clerk of the market the
required by ordinance; and that the green
grocer will not violate any state law or
city ordinance.
The ordinance is evidently an old one.
as it specifies that, in addition to the Ii
cense, the green grocer shall pay the us
ual fees of persons doing the like bust
ness in the public market, and also that
nothing in this ordinance contained shall
be construed to authorize such green gro
Ger to sell on other or more favorable
terms, as to fees, than persons selling at
or in the public market"
Section 400 of the code provides that the
market committee shall have general SUI
perintendence of green groceries and the
power to fix the times and terms of fees
due the city by the groceries.
The enforcement of this ordinance would
very likely cause as much dissatisfaction
as the new ordinance proposed by Alder
man Krouskoff, and withdrawn last night.
1t was a question if the ordinance on
which section 399 is based has not been
repealed, as 1t has evidently not been en-
forced in a number of years.

consul, accordingly. resolved to rid them
of this nuisance, and having laid her low
from a discharge from his rifle, discov-
eTeu lHdL ne Udu orphaned an interesting
young cub. This cub which he adopted,
was Dljini. Under his care the animal
grew so tame that he followed him about
the streets like dog, and finally accom-
panied him on visit to Germany. When
the carriage which he had taken stopped
In front Of one of the principal hotels in
Antwerp and the consul sprang out,
Dijini leaped after him, and the two en-
tered the building together.
The long intimacy which had existed be-
tween them prevented Mr.. Mohun from
realizing the sensation the introduction OF
so unique a pet would create among the
inmates Of o weil-regulated establishment.
In an instant the floor of the Office was
cleared, and guests were seen scaling pill
lars. and clinging to the balustrades,
while the proprietor, from his vantage
ground behind a Widowed partition,
poured forth volleys Of representations In
broken English.
He's as tame as a cat" urged Mr.. Mo-
hun. II raised him from a cub"
But explanations and reassurances were
powerless to dislodge such prejudices.
Poor Dijini had to be Gagged; and, after
refusing several fattering offers for him
from owners OF menageries, Mr.. Mohun
shipped him to America. Six months
afterwards, upon his return to Washing
ton, the consul drove out to the gardens
to see his pet, and horrified the man In
attendance by jumping over the railing
which fenced In his cage.
Get back" he EXCLAIMED, rushing for
ward. 1T isn't safe to go so near The
animal is fierce
Il don't think he'll hurt me-" replied
Mr.. Mohun quietly, thrusting his arm be-
tween the bars.
Are you crazy2' broke forth the keep
er, SELLING him by both shoulders. Don't
you know you'll get your arm chewed
OFF,
But at this instant Dijini's eyes fell
upon his master Uttering a hideous cry
OF Joy, he sprang forward, and fawnines
before him. thrust out his long red tongue
and licked his extended hand.
