was of light material. An instant later

stricken women and children ran from

ST. GEORGE MEET
IN BUFFALO NEXT
Convention of Women Closes
Following Election of
Minor Officers.

The final session of the convention
of the Daughters of st. George adj
journed at 1870 o'clock this afternoon,
after Ton e of the hottest convention
weeks in the history of the ~organiza-
ton. As a sequel to the. fight over
the election of the larger offices yes
terday,N there were several minor
squabbles7 today over t he lesses posi-
tions, including those of trustee, which
was finally obtained by Mrs. Mary
H. Pascoe, of 106 North First street,
Ishpennig, Michigan, and that of out
side guard. which vas finally acceded
to Mrs. Martha Sandiford, of North
Adams, Mass.
There were five candidates for the
former position. and for a long time
there was doubt as to who would OBJ
tain the position. After a consider
able debate, Buffalo won the honor of
being the place where the next con-
vention will be held. This is in large
degree due to the strenuous efforts of
Mrs. Mary E. Jones, who from the
beginning of the convention has beer
distributing literature and badges in
the interest of Buffalo, her home town.
After the session., a final farewell
luncheon was given by the Star Hope
Lodge No. 81.
The fight was largely made by a party
called, because of lack of precedent.
THE Insurgents" 1t has been an ac-
cepted custom of the order that the
grand vice-president, in this case, Mrs.
Annie Prince. shall succeed without op-
position to the chair of the president.
Considerable opposition to Mrs. Prince
developed, and by Wednesday had as
sumed formidable proportions. The
story of there being a dark horse was
given out for publication, and, accord
ing to the insurgents, that lost them
their race.
Mrs. Prince won out by only one vote,
and in the case of the recording secre-
tary's office. the insurgent, Mrs. Harriet
Boyd, won out by a handsome plurality.
Mrs. Matilda A. Dey was elected 1nan-
cial secretary.
The other officers are as follows:
Mrs. Hattie Mott, of Cleveland, grand
vice-president; Mrs. Harriet Boyd, re-
cording secretary. and Mrs. Emma
Baker, of Cleveland, treasurer.

POSTMEN TO MEET
SEEING DETROIT
Delegates to St. Paul Convention
Have Pleasant "Stop-
overs" en- Route.

Seeing the sights in Detroit is the
occupation of the twelve delegates of
the Newark representation bound for
the seventeenth annual convention of
the National Association of Letter.
Carriers in st. Paul, MINI. They have
been a day on the way, and yesterday
the most of them spent the better part
of their time In Buffalo roofing the
Tigers on to victory. With the arrival
of night, they embarked on the Lake
Erie night boat, and had what is usu-
ally a most delightful sail across the
time this morning. Tonight they take
an express for Chicago, and will arrive
in the Windy City in time to spend a
few hours Sunday afternoon seeing the
sights of the town. On Monday MORN
ing at 1915 o'clock, according to sched-
ule, they will arrive in st. Paul. The
convention will last just a week., and
by next Saturday night will be ad-
journed.
Many important things are to come
up before this meeting of the national
body. and it has been rumored about
the local postoff1ce that there is some
very tangible hope that some of the
Newark delegation will be honored with
a national office.
On the return trip many of the dele
gates will scatter and take different
routes home. The main party, however,
will travel by an all-rail route, going
part of the time through Canada, until
Niagara Falls is reached. Here the
party will spend a few days, Labor Day
included, in seeing the sights. Many
will be met by their wives. who are
planning to take in the trip to the falls
so as to be there at the scheduled time
for the arrival of the delegates train.
All will be back in the postoffice by
September 10. IL all goes well.

|NDORsE HUEGEL
FOR ASSEMBLY
Alderman Supported by Thir-
tenth, Fourteenth and
Sixteenth Wards.

Alderman j. William Huegel, of the
Thirteenth ward, was Endorsed for the
Assembly nomination by the members
of the Essex County Republican Com
mittee from the Thirteenth, Fourteenth
and Sixteenth wards at a conference
last night. The Fourteenth ward,
backed by Freebooter Christian Ahner,
fought hard for Ferdinand Hosp, but
was defeated.
Mr.. Huegel secured the Endorsement
of his ward organization on Wednesday
night, the Sixteenth ward standing
ready to concur on the ground that no
Assemblyman had been selected from
that part of the district for many years.
His name was to have been acted on
by the county committee members
next Monday night.
County Chairman Alfred N. Dalrym-
pie took occasion last night to deny
that the county committee had indorsed
candidates for nomination. He said:
For the SAX of getting a proper ex-
preston of sentiment from the men of
the party and to get together a ticket
that will be a winner when submitted
to the people. we have had conferences
of the county executive committee and
of the elective members of the county
committee. 1t is from the deliberations
of these men that we have chosen a
man to run for the nomination for sur

Many Frenchmen blamed. and still
blame her for the stupendous disaster
which involved all France. her hus-

no doubt, much injustice in their ac-

too. But If she was in reality in any
way more or less directly responsible

wind to the full. Nemesis did not take
much pity on her; and it must have
been the saddest of thoughts to her to
think that, guilty or innocent. many OF

once conducted herself with such eclat
held her responsible for the debacle
and watched her further misfortunes
with a certain ntoncern. But it is
