A presidential may be founded on q very slight pretext. Some years ago residence in Ohio was sufficient, formerly residence in Virginia had been. Since the election of the then obscure Grover Cleveland a governorship Of New York has leen supposed to be only door removed from the presidency though. a matter of fact, only one governor of the Empire state, since the time of Mr. Cleveland, has succeeded to the presidency.

Y. w. c. A.

Miss Frances Patterson delivered a most inspiring address at the Y. w. C. A. yesterday afternoon, taking as her subject the Gall of the Orient. She defined the call as the need; the need recognized and the individual ability to respond to the need.
 It was missionary address full of power and inspiration interspersed with human interest stories gleaned through personal experience during years of service on the foreign field.
 Miss Patterson is a speaker of more than ordinary ability, with a magnetic exceptional interest to the audience which greeted her.
