Woman'S Missionary Conference.

Mn. EDlTOK: The Woman's Missions-
ry Conference OF Greenville District, M.
l.. Church. South, held Its annual session
ct Westminster from August IL through
the 18th.
On Friday evening the opening service
was begun with the soul stirring hymn,
"All hall the power or Jesus name"
after which the pastor OF the Church,
Rev. X. II. Dagnall, read part of the 14th
chapter OF st. Mark together with the End
Psalm. Having invoked Gods blessing
upon the meeting, without which every
word spoken every object to be attained
would he lOst-he introduced the Secre-
tafy Of the District, Mrs. NJ. II. Good.
giOn.
An address Of welcome was delivered
by member Of the Westminster Mis-
sionary Society, who received an appr0-
pirate response.
Mrs. T.. s. Herbert, Vice-Preaident of
the South CarOlins Conference Society,
In her usually easy manner, told us in
words few and interesting, the story OF
wOinan's work during the twenty yea rs
OF the organization OF woman into mis-
siOnary society how the work in our
own State began with only forty, but now
counts it's nenbe by the thousands.
a few suggestions offered and the con-
gregation dispersed, feeling amply repaid
for having attended this first service
After the devotional services Saturday
morning, committees were appointed,
and agents for the IIOmnmS -1drOcute
Little IForkcr and The Euamgcl. Miss
jamie Gray, Secretary OF the meeting,
called the roll, to which q goodly mum.
Der responded minutes OF the evening
session read and approved. Mrs. Good
gion then told us of tho work done in the
District during the past year OF facts
which served TO encourage us--and yet
how little we have done after all! 1t is
ever benediction to have present at these
meetings our beloved Mrs. Herbert. She
surprised ns by asking, "What /. needed
most in this work, my sisters 2" OF
course we say, without thinking, more
rnOney-but no not 30 much money as
more OF the spirit of God. more power
that we need. several reports were call
cd for, followcr by the reading of an
interesting article on our Training
School one, historical sketch Of the
lives of some OF our missionaries and on
other subjects The devotional service of
tho pastor of the Church. After the read
Ing of the minutes, juvenile work was
taken up. Miss Estelle Anderson then
read an interesting piece on Kores, touch
ing the manners, customs, etc., of that
country; also mentioning the way IN
which the "Ilermit Kingdom was first
opened to missionaries.
Sunday morning love feast. then q
talk to the children concerning their
work, followed by q sermon from Luke
24:49. 1t would be an impossible task
for any one to undertake a description of
this sermon. We may safely say, how
ever, that had the meeting consiated of
Sunday morning and evening by Rev.
w. A. Rogers, nf Greenville, it were
we'll worth attending.

The expenses of the war up to date
are estimated at $3.50, 900, 900 for the
ia days ending with the signing Of
the protocol. The appropriations
made on estimates ending with Jan.
l, 1899, amount to $500, 900, 900. We
shall probably not spend all Of this,
but there will still be expenses for
troops in camp and garrison until the
peace treaty shall be concluded, and
there will be pensions for the disabled
and for the families Of the dead. But
whatever the war has cost us, it has
been worth it, and much more We
have settled troublesome question
which had vexed and mcnaced US for
eighty years. We have gained much
valuable and priceless knowledge Of
our strength and of our weakness.
And We have Porto Rico and an island
in the Ladrones, and shall at least re-
tain a naval station and commercial
port in the Philippines.

There is small war cloud lowering
over Europe, and it is probable that
the boom Of cannon may be heard
there at no distant date. The rcla-
tions between Great Britain and Rus
sia are strained. The empire Of China
is the cause of the disturbance. and
within the next few years it will be
dismembered and parcelcd out among
the European nations. Russia and
England appear to be absolutely un-
able to agree upon an equitable di-
vision. If this war comes it will be
one Of great length and of terrible
consequences to Europe. All the
European nations will be more or less
engaged in it, and if the United States
doesn't steer clear of possessions in
the Philippines, they may get into
the conflict also. But from the stand
point Of business .alono, the United
States would be winner. We feeG
the world, and. in great European
war the profits Of the farmers would
be enormous. We ciothe tho worlc

again be an enormous figure. Our
many industries would be taxed t.

The soldiers and sailors who died in
Cuba will eventually be given graves
in their native land. Gen. Shafter
marked the graves of those who fell in
battle with 4 simple piece of wood, but
he afterwards received orders to mark
them in the future with stone, so
there will be no mistake as to the
identity Of each one The dead sol
diers will be brought home and their
bodies sent to their families.

1t is now definitely known that the
Seventh army corps, commanded by
Gen. Fitzhugh Ice, and Of which the
First South Carolina Regiment is part,
will go to Cuba and form the army Of
occupation there. General Lee is
authority for this statement. 1t is
not likely that the men will be moved
unless some unforeseen emergency
arises, before the fall, and they will
not be taken to Havana until it is GER
tain that they can go without danger
to their health.

The Ruling Pa..ion,

A celebrated musical critic was re-
Gently married in church, and after the
ceremony, as the wedding procession
marched down the aisle, the organist
played the wedding march from 'Lo-
hengrin." When near the door, the
bridegroom stopped in the march and
addressed the wondering assembly thus
81 know 1 am committing a breach
of etiquette as we'll as propriety in do
ing this, but l am not to blame. 1t is
my mental organization which has be-
come ineffably sensitive by reason OF
the critical nature of my duties"
Then he drew from the pocket Of his
dress coat we'll thumbed copy of the
score of "Lohengrin. Opening it at
the march, he went over to the organist
and said:
"What offended my ear was the fact
that in the seventeenth bar of the da
capo passage you fiatted very badly,
and in the andante movement you
slurred the appoggiatura. Now" put
ting his finger upon the passage, "let
us try that again.
Once more the organ pealed forth,
and this time the player, conscious that
the great critic was listening to him,
accomplished his duty with credit to
himself and to the great satisfaction of
the critic.-Pick Me Up.

to him:

told her to say it herself. Then they
both went at it, and midway of their
sibilant mouthings somebody's temper
began to get frayed at the edges. She
said that Boston people speak abomina-

sion of manners, and things were said
which it were painful to repeat. The
