we're followed by the presentation of a
gavel made of Buckeye wood to Presi-
dent Francis E. Clarke, on behalf Of
the local officers. The recipient made
few happy remarks and passed the
gavel over to Bishop Samuel Fallows,
of Chicago, ILL.,, introducing him as
the presiding officer of the evening.
The official programme had placed
Bishop Fa1lows to preside at a meet
ing in Auditorium Williston, but it
was later considered best to merge
the two meetings into one.
One of the most interesting events
Of the evening, and one that quite
carried away the thousands present,
was the introduction of Rev. A.
Miyaki, Of Osaka, Japan, in native
costume. Mr.. Miyaki is direct from
his native country, the bright repre-
sentative of the Christian Endeavor
Societies in Japan. He received the
greatest ovation of the evening, and
told his audience there are 1900
Christian Endeavorers in Japland, and
70 societies. Tile movement was
started there nine years ago.
The coming before the audience of
President Francis E. Clark to deliver
his annual address was the signal fer
giving him handkerchief salute. In
part he said as follows. The church
of the twentieth century needs larger
brotherhood and more substantial
unity.
"These very things are the things
which God seems to have established
the Christian Endeavor movement to
promote These are not local and
temporary needs. They take in the
sweep of the century and the width
Of the world. They seem to be in ac-
cordance with Gods plan. When we
work with God we cannot fail. Our

goth Annual Convention
\? ts55;'|!y'i 'Sj3;@il]''''''''s'
Opened Last Saturday at Cincinnati.

The twentieth international con-
vention of the Young Peoples Society
of Christian Endeavor was formally
opened last Saturday morning at II
o'clock, in the convention hall Of the
Grand hotel in Cincinnati, with a
business meeting Of the corporation
President Frances E. Clark, D. D., of
Boston, Mass, presiding. The con-
vention proper opened Saturday even
ing with an immense meeting Of
delegates and the public generally at
Music Hall. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
which devotes more than two pages
to complete description of the gath
eriug, says: The scene and the
sound were events of inspiring beauty.
Every seat was occupied, from pit
to uppermost row. The aisles all
about the walls on all the floors were
filled to their utmost capacity. Del
egates from abroad formed a large
majority of the great concourse pres
ent. These included people from
nearly every country of the earth.
Framed in with noble decorations of a
national and Endeavor character two
of the 3oo-voice choirs that have been
drilled for the occasion rose in am
phitheater placing from across the
middle of the stage to back complete
ly against the great organ. The sew
eral hundred young ladies in this
great company of singers were all in
white, with bows of red in their hair.
The singing, led by the choirs and
joined in by seemingly every person
in the house, was superb. Plainly
enough people all over the house took
genuine pleasure in singing with
their whole hearts, It is said on very |
good authority that Christian Endeav
orers are among the best congrega-
tional singers in the world. They |
surely proved so last night.

right TO retain a single office that was

against combining the offices. lie CLAIMED
that the duties were incompatible ana

In reply to d question, he said the eS-

reported progress TO the convention, ana

MOVED TO STRIKE OFT.
Judge Harrison moved to strike out the
provso allowing a treasurer TO counties
OF over 30,000 inhabitants MIR. Keezeli
opposed this amendment. Judge Harri-
son said it ought to apply to All counties
alike. The larger counties could easily
have additional deputies TO assist the
Sheriff.
AR Thornton opposed the substitute
offered by Mr.. Withers, and made a
strong speech against continuing the Of
fees. He said the taxes collected before
the Constitution of 1869 were nothing
compared to what they are now. He as
serted that the sheriff already had more
to do than he could attend to. At courts,
when the sheriff was most busy, was the
time when the treasu was most in de-
mand. One officer could not attend to
both. He criticised Mr.. Withers For his
continued and persistent efforts to abol-
ish Offices, and cited some OF. his resolu-
lions before the committee and how 81
majority had outvoted him. The speaker
said, as one of the majority of the com
unittee, he earnestly opposed the PROPOSE
ton to defeat the Recommendation of the
committee. Mr.. Thornton said he had
never heard any complaint among the
people of the extra allowances made to
sherifss. They honestly deserved every
dollar the Board of Supervisors allowed

The Scottish judicial statistics for
the year are not altogether pleasant
reading. Serious crime has been de-
creasing In Scotland for some time.
The period 1859 shows a decrease
OF 2612 per cent as compared with
1904. That is satisfactory, but while
the serious crime is diminishing. the

order" 70 quote from the report,
which marks Scottish statistics so IN
favorably as compared with those OF
other countries seems TO be steadily
increasing. The number of persons
charged with drunkenness and disorder
rose last year to 1908, which is q
record figure. Drunkenness and disor-

Empires take no cognizance of grief

whole machinery of the state was en-
ployed Wednesday in installing the
new sovereign and acclaiming him as
king. No one now lives who took part

they were last performed sixtythree

were guided only by tradition. The
scene as the new king was sworn N
was solemnly impressive. 1t was i'm
possible to Danish the grief caused by
