Who Are Coming.
Mrs. L. M. N. Stevens, acting presi-
dent of the National w. c. T. u. Of
Portland, Me-, and Miss Anna Gordon,
for twenty-one years private secretary
of the late Frances E. Willard, of Bos-
ton; Mamie Powderly, Miss Wizards
stenographer; Miss Helen M. Wood,
Chicago; Mrs. Hannah NJ. Bailey, of
Maine, arrived yesterday morning and
are at the Windsor hotel, which will be
the headquarters of the w. c. T. U.
during the national convention next
week. Other important officers will ar
rive on Wednesday and Thursday.
Mrs. L. NJ N. Stevens was seen at
the Windsor yesterday by a G. o b e
reporter and said in reply to the ques-
ton as to how she had become so init
mately associated with the national
work: 81 was for twenty-four years
Miss Wizards assistant in w. c. T.
U. work and for more than twenty
years one of the national vice presi-
dents. Five years ago was made vice
president at large by request of Miss
Willard and it was my duty to act fol-
Miss Willard during her absence or
when she was unable to act. l consid-
cred it great privilege to act for Miss
Willard when she was living, but never
dreamed she would go away and leave
me standing at the head of this So
ciety."
We will be able to report at this con-
vention an unusual gain. Seven states
report 500 more gain, and the majority
have some gain to report. We account
for this: hat women are more eager
than ever to extend and perpetuate
the work to which Miss Willard con-
secrated her life. Many women who
were thoughtless of the work had on
arrest of thought when she died and
they saw the wave of love and respect
which passed over the country. They
asked, What does this mean?" and,
becoming interested in her, they be-
came interested in her life work.
The three basic principals of our
work are total abstinence, prohibition
and purity. We will have strong ad-
dresses on these subjects by our lead
ing speakers, besides by susaerintend-
ents of forty different departments of
work. They are able women and good
speakers"
Great interest centers in the election
OF a president and corresponding sec
rotary. The present CORRESPONDING sec
rotary cannot serve, as she has been
made president of the Massachusetts
W: c. T. U. Her home is in Boston.
interest also -centers round the Tenn

OF EeXt week the reports of affiliated
interests will be made. These are the
National Temperance hospital the
Women's Publication association and
the Temple. After the reports are made
vote Will be taken on the question OF
continuing the Temple. In view of the
fact that nearly all of the ex-officio

organizers and Evangelists to a great
extent are in favor of disseminating
the Temple; and, moreover, that out
