Woman'S Home
Mission Society
An Interesting Report
of the Valdosta Dis
trict Meeting.

We feel that it was a pleasure
and a privilege to attend the
union meeting of the Home and
Foreign Mission Societies of the
lVa1dosta District, at Mou1trie.
From the first service the
meeting was deeply spiritual,
aud on several occasions during
the meeting the power and pres
ence of the Holy Spirit was evil
dent.
Under the consecrated and en-
thusiastic leadership of Mrs. Co.
mer Woodward, district secre-
tary of foreign work, and Miss
Lila Wilmington, of the Home
Mission Society, we can not see
how the meeting could have been
otherwise. The strong and earn.
est appeal made to delegates by
these two women chosen of God,
will not soon be forgotten.

Mrs. Nell M. Blasingame, one
of our conference officers, was
present aud made the program
for each day very interesting,
giving different phases of the
work which revealed to the dele.
gates the broadness and the re-
suits of the Home Mission So
ciety.
Truly, Mrs. Blasingame is one
of the most practical and inter-
esting speakers we have ever
listened to. In the near future
we are hoping to have her ad-
dress the ladies of our church
on the needs and conditions of
our work.

BOX FOR VASHTI HOME.

The ladies' of our auxiliary
have been busy recently making
different articles of clothing for
Elizabeth Johnson, an orphan in
the Vashti Home at Townsville.
We have been clothing this one
of Gods children for more than
a year. Is there not some one
else who would like to run in and
assist in this noble work for the
Master? Is there not some one
of Gods children who is ready
to make a donation to this home,
in order that these little girls,
who are just past age to enter
other orphan homes, may find
shelter?
WHAT SHALL WE DO FOR CALVES.

LOOKS LIKE & MALTA MURDER.
Italian Waterman Found Dead, with
Twenty-one Stiletto Wounds.

The Astoria police are trying to solve the
mystery surrounding murder committed about
daylight yesterday morning. Vital Giovanni OF
No. 2052 1st-ave. was the victim The crime
was committed in new o-story dwelling on
14th-ave., near Broadway.
Giovanni was employed as Waterman in the
building and had a bed in the kitchen. The
plasterers, Salvatore Thombatore and Casfare
Piazzio, arrived at the building shortly after s
o'clock yesterday morning and found Giovanni
apparently asleep A blanket thrown care
lessly over him. When the workmen pulled down
the blanket the Waterman was found lying in
a pool of blood. with his body covered with
wounds.
The police were sent for and search was
made for the murderers. Dr. B. G. Strong, the
coroner's physician, examined the body and
found that Giovanni had been stabbed twenty
one times One lung was completely cut in two
while stiletto had been plunged twice through
the heart. The detectives are of the opinion
that Giovanni was victim of some Italian Sc
cret society," and that he had been marked
man. which would account for the bloodth1rsty
manner in which he was murdered.

DRESSMAKERS' RTVALRY
Working for Votes ON american
Go5ons at Convention.

In spite of the gloomy weather yesterday
there was nothing dull about the opening OF the
fall convention of the National Dressmakers
Association, in the Masonic Temple, 23d-st. and
6th-ave. The dressmakers arrived in fairly
good numbers for the opening day, and those
who had gowns on exhibition at once began
electioneering for the Taught by the ex-
perience of a rival society, the management
has decided to shelve all responsibility in the
matter of awarding prizes. The dressmakers
are to pass on the gowns themselves. AS each
member registers she gets voting paper. which
she will deposit later in a box. which has been
solemnly sealed in the presence of a notary
public. Thus the management expects to steer
clear of many difficulties. but the way is opened
thereby to many influences other than the merit
of the gowns.
No exhibit bears the name of the exhibitor
All the gowns are numbered. and the voter is
expected to indicate her choice by this number.
But each exhibitor knows her own gown. and
would hardly be human if she did not endeavor
to induce her friends to vote for it. Already
little parties nave been formed about several of
the gowns, and as time goes on the struggle is
expected to become more acute
The gown that has won the most admirers so
far is a princess evening dress OF pinl; chiffon
cloth. photograph OF which has appeared in
The Tribune This model comes from town
of 500 inhabitants in a Western State
Only a small proportion of the gowns were
to be seen yesterday as large numbers of them
came in at the last minute, and the work of
unpacking them and placing them on the figures
takes considerable time When the exhibit is
complete it is said that it will be the most re-
markable display of American gowns ever
shown in New-York or elsewhere in the country.
The real work of the convention begins to-
day. The first corset demonstration will be
given at o'clock this afternoon by Nine. Wade
and living models in all degrees Of stoutness and
Ieanness will be used. Nine. Baker talks at TO-
2:30 and o'clock. Last night Nine. Baker.
