all the questions Of law raised in the
General Conference. We have bean
more than cordially and generously
provided for in the way of work and
opportunity.
II is probable that the session will
last during the entire month. As
nearly all the work is first presented in
open session, then referred to appro.
pirate committees, reported upon and
passed or rejected, this routine requires
time to digest and consider. The com.
mittees are mostly large, consisting Of
ono clerical and one lay delegate from
each confer ence-about 200 members
for each committee; each committee
being somewhat Of congress in itself.
OF these the committees Of episcoracy
and missions are of most interest, he.
cause of the personal element Of the
choice and election of new bishops in
the one, and Of the movement for the
consideration of the mission work in
Its mary fields in the other.
The General Conference consists Of
about 725 members, and when convened

which seats 6,000 and is generally quite
well filled, is grand sight, 1t is a
magnificent body of men, representing
Asia, .africa, Europe and America, in

in many cases, who would make their

representing $1,000 ministers and over
5000, 900 church members.

Annual Meeting, Dinner and Reception to
be Held on June 18th.
The annual meeting OF the Alumni
Association of the Wilmington High
School, together with the reception to
the graduating class and the annual
dinner, is to be held at the Clayton
House on Thursday evening, June
l4th, such being the decision of the
executive committee at meeting last
evening at the residence of the chair
man, DR.. John Palmer, Jr. The present
executive committee has been very
much gratified at the prosperity of the
association in the year now drawing to
a close, not only in having paid in
deptedness that came to it as legacy
from the past, hut also in having d
substantial balance in bank. For these
reasons the committee expects to have
a most encouraging report to present to
the annual meeting of the association
on June 14th.
A very pleasing feature Of the dinner
will probably be the observance of the
23th anniversary Of the graduation of
the first class, that of 1875 and it is
hoped to have that class we'll repre-
sented.

The Democratic County Committee

CRAZY WORK" FOR SOLDIERS.
CORRESPONDENT SUGGESTS THAT CON-
vALEsCENTs EMPLOY THEIR TIME
MAKING PILLOWS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir I wish say a few words in behalf of our
soldiers in the Philippines. There is a man here in
New-YOrk, American born citizen who has
started endless chain for the aid Of the Beers.
Now, why should be called upon to aid the Beers
when kin suffering? Charity begins
home say l. There widows of United States
officers in the Philippines who struggling for
the necessities of life, and trying keep boarding
houses to raise money enough to get back to the
East. There are convalescent soldiers there
suffering for of occupation. There is curse
greater for a soldier of action than idleness
and convalescent will always recover more rap
idly having light occupation daily.
Now, have read in The Tribune that the English
women, who watching for every need of their
brave boys in South Africa, are sending out knit
ting needles and wool 20 their convaIescent SOL
diers, for the purpose of knitting caps and small
artic- es wish to offer suggestion for the bene-
ft of soldier boys. Why not send out an
appeal to dressmakers and housewives for patch
work pieces? Now is the sewing time of spring
outfits, and dressmakers have quantities of odd
dies, thimbles and thread. and convaIescents
could piece the bits together in fancifuI designs or
Just crazy work in sizes for sofa pillows. These
would find ready sale in New-York and else
where, adding goodly TO the widows and or
phans fund They could be auctioned in our large
cities to great advantage. Yours truly
