An Advertising Tendency

1t has been predicted that in time the
newspaper advertisement will be the uni
versal and exclusive means of publicity,
not only for business but for all other
affairs. The existence of tendency in
this direction is proved by the appearance
in the French newspapers in Canada of
advertisements which offer thanks to the
saints. In recent number of The Non
treGl Journal were cards of thanks to St.
Expedit for having aided the advertiser
IN securing contract, and to other saints
for various blessings.

Delegates at Boston From Diff
ferent Quarters of the
Globe.
CENTENNIAL TO OPEN TODAY.
IT Was Expected That Nearly 5000
Delegates viii Be In Attendance
at the Six Days sessions--lnter-
esting Exhibits.

Boston, June f1.-Streaming into
Boston from nearly every quarter of
the globe came delegates Monday to
the seIni.centennial and international
jubilee convention of the Young
Mems Christian Association Of North
America. Practically every civilized
country in the world likely will be
represented today when the eonven-
ton is called to order in the exhibit
ton hall of the Mechanics building,
and 1t is confidently expected that
there will be nearly 5000 delegates
from the different associations in at
tendance during the six days the CON
Vention is in session.
Those who reached here Monday
afternoon scarcely paused to shake
the dust of travel from their clothes
before appearing at the headquarters,
where a large force of officials was
ready to assign suitable boarding
places and attend to the needs of the
visitors
Probably not a delegate left the
building without thorough inspec-
ton of the Jubilee exhibit in one of
the large halls of Mechanics build
ing. This consists of photographs of
Y. NJ. G. A. camps, athletic teams,
gymnasiums and diagrams of work
done in Bible study, sent by assoeia-
lions in all sections of the country.
Awards of merit, consisting of blue
ribbons and red ribbons, for first and
second prizes, had been distributed
among the different classes Of exhib-
its.
The exhibit contained material
from all kinds of associations in all
departments of activity. and designed
to graphically present the history OF
the movement in the American asso.
Citations for the past SO years.
Aside from this there was material
showing the nature and extent OF
work done in the most important
Bible study and religious work &C
tivities, the practical educational
work in its numerous phases of Ii
brary, reading room. literary socie
ties and valuable class work; the i'm,
portant physical work and all that
stands for symetrieal body building
and clean sport; the local work, EN-.
ployment bureau, womens auxiliary
and the newly appreciated and vastly
important work for boys.
The first of the delegates to arrive
We're those from . the most distant
cline, one party from Adelaide, Aus.
tralia and another from Japan getting
in early. The first named party, how.
ever, journeyed west, while the
japanese delegates went east to the
Y. NJ. G. A. mecca of 1901 Another
party from Minneapolis came in early
in the day and were promptly and
warmly welcomed by the local com.
mittee.

taurants claiming the right to serve
drinks on Sunday with meals, and a
saloonkeeper who held that under the

judicial inquiry into the question of
whether or not certain clergymen of
Denver, who denounced him in their
pulpits. were in contempt of court,
and that if he satisfied himself that
they We're he would Immediately take
up their cases and give them the full
punishment under the laws
