Social Purity Congress.

Baltimore, Md., Oct. 17. —A large number of papers were read and addresses made at yesterday’s session of the Social Purity Congress. Resolutions were adopted declaring State or municipal regulations of prostitution is morally wrong; that the State should punish by imprisonment rather than by fining keepers of houses of prostitution; asking that “facilities be provided for treatment of venereal diseases, and that homes should be everywhere established for the reclamation and rehabilitation of erring girls.” The congress then adjourned sine die.
