Interesting Meeting Closed.

THE District Convention of the Wo-
mans Christian. Temperance Union,
which was in session at the Christian
church in this city three days of this
week, closed Wednesday evening. The
meeting was interesting throughout The
reports along the various lines of work
were highly satisfactory and the pro-
gress made in every department was
very encouraging.
The evening unions were particularly
attractive. That of Monday evening
was conducted principally by the chill
dren in songs, recitations and wreathing
beautiful portrait of Miss Willard in
white flowers. Addresses of welcome
We're given by Master Douglas Boone,
Miss Frances Butler, Rey. E. q. B Mann
and Mrs Thos. Fisher. The response of
the convention was voiced by Mrs. Over
street, of Lexington. A very pleasing
feature of the evening was the singing
by trio of young men from the State
College "Y'' Union. Mrs Frances E.
Beauchamp, President of the State W.
9. L. . Was present at all the meetings
and captivated everyone by her winning
ways, charming personality and readi-
ness and Willingness to speak on all sub
Jets, thereby instructing many who

gave very fOrcible address, making an
excellent impression upon her hearers,
which was further proven on Wednesday
evening by the splendid crowd which
again greeted her, and to whom she de-
lIvered a magnificent address, which in
dignity aud power we have seldom, if
ever, heard equaled.
The choir of the Christian church rem
dered excellent music, and the unexcell-
ed sOlOists, Mrs. Sutherland and Mrs

while Mrs. Walter Clark and her son,
Ray, rendered a duet-the w. C. T. U.
version of "My Old Kentucky Home"
very effectively.
A Young Peoples Union, numbering
twenty-five young ladies and gentlemen
was organized. Altogether the conven-
tion was a success and has left a good
impression upon the community.
All the local ministers who were in the
city attended the meetings, were intro
duced and expressed their hearty CO.
opel alton in the good work. The PresI-
dent, Miss Annie Miller, eff Lexington,
is the daughter of Rev Dr. Chas. Miller,
who will be remembered by many
citizens as an able minister of the MethO-
dist church. The same officers were re-
elected with the exception of Miss Kstha-
rine Christian, Corresponding Secretary,
who declined reelection, and was sue
ceeded by Mrs. Pearl Smith, of Muir.
The delegates unanimously declared
| that this was the best conven.
ton ever held in the 7th District and
were loud in their praises of the hos
pitable treatment and the many cOur-
tesles received while in Paris.

Five hundred saloons of Baltimore,
1T is estimated, will quit the business
Some of them have already closed
their doors. The cause of the great
shut down is the determination of the

controls nearly nine tenths of the out
put of the city, to abandon the prac-
tice of paying for saloon licenses in
order to force their product on the

The DOMINANT RACE.-That the
Anglo-Saxon race dominates the
world, because it keeps its courage
under trying circumstances, is not an
unwarrantable deduction from the
story of the loss of the Stella, in the
English Channel. Here was a steam
er, crowded with excursionists, q class
of people not noted for steadiness and
not usually distinguished for wisdom,
suddenly driven ashore, in q dense
fog, which was alone enough to make
unaccustomed people timorous, and,
to add to the horror of the event, her
boilers exploded almost as soon as the
shock of the collision with the rocks
was felt. Yet the people seem to
have kept their heads and refrained
from sacrificing each other in frantic
efforts to save themselves; the crew
acted with the GOODNESS of veterans,
the officers worked hard to get the
boats of in good order, and the last
seen of the captain was as he stood
on the bridge, unmindful of his own
fate, but anxious that the boats
should get clear of the steamer before
she sank and the suction dragged
them down. 1t was an impressive
contrast to the scenes attending the
sinking of the La Bourgogne, on Ju-
ly 4th, last year, the narrowing de-
tails of which are still fresh in men,

Took TwELvE-DAY NAP.-A
puzzling case to medical and scien-
tific men is that of William Y. Moy-
er, of Reading, Pa, the 22-year-old
son of Reuben r. Meyer, who was in
a comatose condition for twelve days.
Two weeks ago the family moved
from Birdsboro to Riverside, Read
ing suburb. On the way up with a
wagon load of goods the young man
rested by lying on chaff box. He
was seen to be sleeping, but as it was
thought he was merely tired no at
tention was paid to him until River
side was reached. Then the family
were unable to awaken him. He was
lifted from the wagon and walked up
and down. Every means to awaken
him that could be thought of was
tried, but without success. He was
finally placed in bed and a physi-
Clan summoned. Little could be
done. He remained in this condition
for 10 days, when he awoke as sud
denly as he fell asleep and was ready
70 60 to work.

The German Baptist Associate

The German Baptist Association,
at Its final session in Roanoke, dealt
blow to instrumental music in the
churches, the conference deciding
that it should not be taught among
the brotherhood. Neckties are to be
worn as matter of comfort. Rep
resentatives of railroads and land
companies and raisers of tobacco were
excluded from membership in the
district and annual conferences. A
vigorous protest was made by the
Virginians.
