MANNER.
Presentations of davels to Local Union
and Auxiliary-Secretary Given
Loving Cup.

The convention OF the international WO-
mans Auxiliary Of the International Typo
graphical Union was declared adjourned,
sine die, by its president Mrs. Frank A.
Kennedy, last night, but a short adjourned
meeting was held in the Ebbitt House par
lors between 10 and 1890 this morning.
Very little business was transacted. The
delegate from San Francisco was instructed
to address letters to the Owl Drug Company
Of that city. requesting them to withdraw
their advertisement from the Los Angeles
Times, against which the International
Typographical Union has been waging war
for the last fifteen years or so. 1t was also
decided that 'at the next convention the
auxiliary should be provided with an off,
cial stenographer to attend to the amount
of business that has proved to be too great
for the secretary.
A number of the ladies will leave the city
this evening, after spending the afternoon
in further sightseeing. Mrs. Donnell. the
secretary, will be among these. She hopes
to take in as many of the local sights as
possible this afternoon, because she has
been unable to devote any of her time to
them on the days that the convention has
been in session. All of the ladies have ex-
pressed their appreciation of the excellent
entertainment provided by the washington
Auxiliary.
