SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.


Cavalier County Sunday School Workers Hold
Several Interesting. Sessions.
The first annual convention of the Sun
day schools of Cavalier county was
opened a. the Presbyterian church in
this city last Thursday afternoon with
devotional exercises led by Elder Thos.
Stevenson. The organization of the con-
vention was proceeded with, by the cleo
zion of Rev. s. Newlove, of Milton, as
president; Rev. T. H. Robertson, of
Langdon, as vice-president; VIM. Steven
son, of Langdon, secretary and Miss
Maud Sanford, of Milton, treasurer. The
remainder of the afternoon session was
devoted to the receiving OF reports from
the various schools throughout the coun-
ty and the appointing Of committees to
further the work of the convention. A
committee on permanent program was
named, consisting of Mrs. W. f. Kessler,
Mrs. r. H. Robertson and VIM. Steven
son. An executive committee to work in
conjunction with the conventions officers
was named by the chair as follows: Dr.
W. W. WcQueen and D. F. Humphreys,
of Milton and Geo. G. Elford, of Lang
don.
The attendance of delegates was larger
than expected, twenty. nine being present,
principally from points adjacent to Mil
ton and Langdon. Next year the conven-
ton will be again held here, it being the
desire of the officers to use every effort
to induce representatives from the west
ern part of the county to take up the
work of the association.
The various sessions of the convention
which closed Friday evening we're a
grand success in every particular. Revs.
Clifford and Manson, from Grand Forks,
we're among the outside attractions that
did much to instruct the delegates, and
in this particular mention is deserving
of the untiring efforts Of D. F. Humph-
reys and Rev. S. Newlove, of Milton, to
maintain an interest in the work as 1t
progressed.
The evening sessions of both Thursday
and Friday we're largely attended by the
public when the efforts Of Reve. Clifford
and Manson both scored big successes as
public speakers. The subject of Rev.
Giford's lecture on Thursday evening.
"Christian Citizenship, was treat of
eloquence and logic and listened to by
an appreciative audience. On Friday
evening tho same gentleman addressed
an equally large congregation on the SUBJ
ject of s'The Bible" assisted by Rev. Man
son. The papers and discussions on all
subjects each day were excellent and in
structive.
Visiting delegates were loud IN their
praise of the hospitality Of Langdon's
citizens on the occasion and showed their
appreciation in naming our city as the
place of holding their second annual con-
vention in 1899. q

WARREN.

There Is some dissatisfaction In the
east school district over the recent ac-
tion of the school committee In voting
TO transfer the school of the district to
the compact part of the town The COM
mittee will pay for the transportation
OF the pupils by train. and also attend
TO their supervision during the noon
hour. There have been but four pupils
attending the school OF the district for
neveral years past. and their education
hay cost the town over $50 each. where
as by the new arrangements the aver
age cost will be less than $l2. The
change. however. was not made wholly
for economical reasons. as u was
claimed by the committee that the
change would afford at least equally
good facilities as in the past, and that
lie inconvenience OF the train will be
no greater than that OF reaching the
school building.
The main objection to the removal of
the school comes more from the real
estate owners than from parents of
pupils, who believe that the closing of
the school will depreciate the value OF
real estate in the district.

CRANSTON.

The time for the special financial
meeting is drawing nigh and discussion
wakes warm. Many advocate sirscs
economy but are loathe to oppose the
appropriation for a new school build
ing. Others assume that the ap2ropri-
alton is assured and discuss the prob
able location. Other school buildings
have undoubtedly been misplaced and
fear seizes the taxpayers lest the pros
pective building be put in a place not
central.
There are a few who say that no ap-
preparation should be granted for any
school until there is a sum appropriated a
for new High School building in Au-
burn. The taxpayers of Cranston VIII
lage answer this argument by saying
that they will not oppose any appro-
priation for a new High School build
ing IL there is one needed.
The meeting will probably be a small
gathering, as there are no trades TO be
made and also the meek and lowly
Cranston village which is now the re-
quester has made no political enemies.
She has been satisfied heretofore with
what has been given her.
Three police officers were called to
Flskeville yesterday TO arrest a "crazy
man." but before they reached that VIII
lage the man had gone to Warwick.
Two colored women boarded an elec-
trio car at Knightsville a few evenings
ago enroute for the city. The other pas
sengers began to sniff and move as far
away form the new comers as possible.
The odor was strong and almost sick
ening. People left the car before they
reached their destinations and many
were the cross remarks hurled at the
innocent oenders. When Jessamine
street was reached and the scented
women quit the car a sigh OF relief and
freer breathing were indulgcd In. The
women ,hadeevidently met an odorifer-
Gus animal in their travels.

AT THENORTn END.
Getting Ready For tn. Fall Campaign,
Capitol Hill Notes.

The warm spell has somewhat delayed
the opening of the fall campaign, that
is of course the local campaign for rep
resentatives from ward 3 in the city
council The triumph of the Lovett
faction in the caucuses last June In
sured the denomination OF Alderman
Mccarthy and probably all the mem
bers of the present council delegation.
Some members OF the delegation arr
not loved i'm the sincere sense of the
term loved, but those members whom
the faction that has an iron grip on the
ward don't like are too strong for even
the combination TO attempt TO throw
just at present, so IL looks like the old
ticket again. The Republican waIo
committee generally gets TO work cary
and this year the heavy normal DEM
ocratic majority will disturb II as little
as in the past. Chairman Vanstone
has kept the minority party, since he
has been chairman OF the ward COM
mittee, in splendid fighting trim, and II
looks now as IL i'm Ward and Ward 10
there would be majority given for the
Republican congressional candidate JUST
the same as in those generally demo-
cratic wards there was a plurality OF
votes cast for the Republican electors
for president two years ago. There IL
but little interest taken In the vote on
the new constitution.
The tracks OF the Union Railroad
company have been laid up Smith
street from Francis street to near Win
sor street and in short time the Elm
wood cars will run down Smith and
Francis street TO Dorranc street. The
Francis street to Dorranc street. The
western terminus OF the route will be
at the barn on Mt Pleasant, and the
new route will enable residents OF Cap
itol Hill to get down town quickly.
The police of the Second station made
three arrests last night, two of the men
taken in charge were drunk and the
third was simply acting queer.
The Bachelor Social Club at recent
meeting appropriated $50 for the re-
furnishing of it's rooms.
Last evening there were more trolley
parties from Pawtucket than on any
evening this season. The number OF
cars that went through Randall square
loaded with merrymakers was a large
one.
The No Name Club trolley party
which will be held on next Wednesday
evening promises to be big successes.
