Umpire Question Discussed.

There was little done at the afternoon
session Of the league magnates. They went
into session at o'clock and did not break
the silence of their conference until after
o. L..,ie Information was given out, Presi-
dent Young being the authority for the
statement that the umpire question con-
sumed all of the afternoon. The subject
was thoroughly discussed whether it would
be advisable to return to the double umpire
system or allow one man to act. No definite
understanding was arrived at, but it was
agreed that the question should be carried
over until the spring meeting.

ALWAYS SAFE.

At Old Orchard Beach one finds wild
or variety of attractions than can be
found elsewhere on the New England
coast. There are diversions of every kind
to please young and old, but from appear
ances the greater part of the summer pop
uIation enjoys hugely the camp meeting
services and the sociability for which the
beach is famous. The Christian Alliance
Camp Meeting is to be held at Old Orch
ard Beach August 1st to 18th, inclusive,
and the arrangement Of the program me
is such as to allow attendants to partici-
pate In the myriod recreations at the
grounds, while for the meetings we'll
known and prominent speakers have been
secured. Reduced rate tickets to Old
Orchard for this event will be put on
sale at many Boston & Maine stations.

fore this reception TOOK place we occa-
pied a cottage IN the CatskilIs which
was built by Miss Willard. The recep-
ton which was held at Ocean Grove was
very largely attended. kilograms were
received from every state and territory
in the nation, and speakers were heard
from eight or ten different states. This
gathering over, Miss Gordon and I came
directly home. In three weeks we 60
west to our headquarters IN Evanstons
near Chicago, to attend to Office work-
Then we shall attend the Minnesota and
South Dakota state conventions. We
viii return the middle of September and
will go on from one New England state
to another, attending all Of the state
conventions except the Massachusetts, for
which we did work in the early spring.
After this we will go to the New York
aud Ohio conventions and the national
convention, which is to come off at
Washington in the first week IN Deeem-
Der. At this convention there VIII be
representatives from all countries and
from all of the states and territories in
this country. The work beyond this
national convention, we have not yet
planned. It is our intention, however,
to do a great deal of work in the South.
1t may be stated as a matter OF inter
est that among the delegates to the Ed1n-
burgh convention from the United States
were three colored women, one from
North Carolina, one from Louisiana
and one from Washington, ID. @. They
were bright and we'll educated women
and are leaders among the coIored women
in w. G. L. II. work. They were warm
ly received in Edinburgh and were in
vited to speak outside. They sat on the
same platform with us.
