TEMPERANCE WOMEN,

Their Convention at Baltimore a Marked Success. i

Attendance of Delegates Large and Their Enthusiasm Intense—Miss Willard’s : Address — The New Star . Spangled Banner.

BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 21.—Between 500 and 600 delegates from thirty-eight states and ' territories. representing 800,000 members of the Woman'’s Christian Temperance union, congregated at Music hall Friday morning to attend the twenty-second annual convention of that society. As Miss Willard stepped to the front of the stage, carrying a huge bunch of La France roses, the audience tumultuously applauded her. Following the drop of her gavel a crusade Psalm was read, responsively, led by Mrs. Eliza . Thompson, of Hillsboro, 0., who is more familiarly known in temperance circles as ‘“Mother Thompson.” She began the crusade inauguration in her home twenty-one years ago, and from which rosg the present W.C. T. U. Mrs. Thompson is in her 80th year, but her powers seemed unimpaired as she led the reading Friday morning. . : i _

Mrs. Henrietta L. Monroe, president of the Ohio V. C. T. U., offered a fervent invocation. Some routine business was followed by the reading of the president’s annual address, which was, in part, as follows:

Miss Willard’s Address.

“Civilization is but Christianity’s effect on the brain and hands of the race; science and invention are its twin daughters, and both lend the totality of their influence against the practice .of stimulation. All of the states and territories except two (Geox_'gia. and Arkansas) now require the teaching of the laws 'of health to all school -children, beginning with the youngest. Mrs. Mary H. Hunt - heads this movement as the representative of the ‘Woman's Christian Temperance union. ‘ Four times a year the Sunday-school lesson explicitly teaches total abstinence. This is another point gained by white-ribboners, who worked ten years for it. : . *“The general assembly of the Presbyterian church has this year declared in favor of nonalcoholic wine for sacramental purposes. “In the widening field of athletics all stimulation is discounted. - The bicycle is the most influential temperance reformer of’ the time, and milk is the favorite beverage of those who ride to ' win Legislation follows on after individual progress. The Canadian parliament this year declared by an overwhelming majority in favor of prohibition; in South Australia and Utah women have been admitted to the full rights of -citizens. Five legislatures last winter voted to submit this question to the people. In New York city

The enforcement of law by Commissioner Roose+ velt and the renewed war- upon Tammany, led by the redoubtable Dr. Parkhurst, are the sa+ lient features of the time. 5 ‘

“The aetion of the Methodist conferences in voting to admit women to the general con-, ference is the largest straw on the current of the times. The woman's department of th Atlanta exposition and the great con gresses of women. held in the farther sout are other tokens hardly less: significant. union of reform forces is contemplated, an the leaders have agreed to a basis, which i commended to the good-will of all white ribe bon women.

“The labor movement is the natural ally of the white ribboners. The ‘working class’ are the only. true aristocrats. Romz\ix Catholl® wygung women of Danbury, Conn., have formed a society gr members pledgzed not to marry any man whio is not a strict abstainer. The unfading ho of the social purity movement was set tor? in the resolution unanimously adopted by our London conyention in June last.” o Miss Willard closed her review of the woman question with these words: | “In primitive days we had the ma.txiiarchate, which means the rule of. the mothers, and now for a painfully lengthened period we have had the patriarchatie, or the rule of the fathers; but we begin to see the dawn of the amphiarchate, or the joiht rule of a joint world by the joint forces of ii:s mothers and its fathers. Happy are they who put their sturdy shoulders to the wheels jof this white chariot of the sun.” : Fiks An important part of the address vvts devoted to the situation in Armenia, and an urgent plea was made for the united efforts of women in ,collecting funds and circulating petitions for the relief of “‘our well-nigh martyred Christian neighbors in Asia Minor.” 1 In the midst of her address, while recommending a continuance of total abstinence on the part of every delegate, Miss Willard requested every woman present to arise and thereby indicate their willingness to renew t:iie pledge. Every woman in the houge, delegates and visitors as well, aroge, while great enthusiasm prevailed in every direction. S : I New Star Spangled Banner. i A handsome white silk banner, beiaring fifty gilt stars, representing the states and territories wheremn the[W. C. T. U. have representation, was presented to Miss Willard by Mrs. W. Jennings Demorest, chairman of fthe executive committee, of Sorasis, N. Y. This beautiful emblem was waved to and fro by Miss Williard and Mrs. Eliza Thompson, while Mrs. Katharine Baldwin, of New York, a niece of the 'national president, sang the| recently composed song, ‘“The White Ribbon Star Spangled Banner,”|the first verse of which is: “Fling it out to the breeze. Le} it tell to the worla L : - That the faith which has raised it will fever . surrender; j ) Let it tell that the Jove which our bann,ei"un- . furled ; i Is the guard of the home and the nation’s defender. : 3 -Let itgleam as o star for the shipwriked . afar, o : 1 Likg a beacon that warns of the treacherous L LReTS, . ; ; 4 ’ Let that banner of freedom and purity ¢ wave | TE iahe i “As a signal of hope midst the perils we | brave.” s by ™ - The enthusiasm was beyond description as the throng arose and sang the -closing stanza of the hymn.

It x{equired the sending of a greeting to the triennial congress of the Episco- »: church now in session at linneapolis and earnestly requested that,““in view of the fact that the use of fermented wines in the sacrament of the Lord’s supper is objectionable to a iarge proportion of the most active and ievoted membership of the church, and ts it is also a source of danger to any who may have come uner the power of .aleohol, thus ea.ke'ning the influence of the church- in reform work, therefore the general convention apﬁ)rove and sanction, if it may not enjoin the use of unfermente.d wine at the communion sacrament as being more %n accordance with the character'of the laster at whose table the wine is %erved." | “Methods of promoting our prin¢iples” brought forth a number of papers, and each speaker was allowed ‘en minutes to present her views. | Colored People Aroused. | Work among colored people was talked about by Mrs. Lucy Thurman (colored), of Jackson, Mich. . During the year, she said, more headway had been made in the work than in any other like period. - Forty unions -of cglored women had been organized in the south, but more active work yet was needed. Among the ten millions?of her race in this country, Mrs. Thurman said, there was not one distiller or brewer; something that could be said of no other race. | After the Smokers. | The superintendent of the narcotics ‘department, Mrs. E. B. Ingalls, of St. Louis, said that more persons were interested in the movement than ever before, and that reformers are beiginning to realize that soothing Isirups, headache medicine and the ciglarette lead to the use of opium, chloral fand other 7~ugs. Many men, she said, lwere g” /ing up the use of tobacco. Lec|turers were becoming more numerous. | She said they were decreasing the num- | bers of smokers. Mr. Pullman had been petitioned Mot to place smoking apartments in his cars and she understood that the millionaire car-builder was not putting these compartments in the sleeping cars and that smokers would be forced into the ordinary smoking-car or go without the weed.

The Night Session.
