White ribboners all over the world
are turning their attention to St. Louis,
where on Nov. 13 will be opened the
twenty-third annual convention of the
National Woman’s Christian Temper
ance union. The convention will call
together a great number of women
whose names are connected with al
most every branch of good work and
» some who have international reputa
tions. The sessions will last for five
days and will be held in Music hall,
which has an auditorium capable of
seating 5,500 persons. The annual ad
dress of Miss Frances E. Willard, the
illustrious founder and president of the
association, will be the chief feature of
the first day.
The programme of each day will con
sist of the regular routine of business
interspersed with various features and
some innovations. Tiie evening of Sat
urday, the second day, will be devoted,
to the gathering of the Young Woman’s

ceding year Wednesday will be desig
nated as grand demonstration night.
'Several novel features will be intro
duced into the general programme this
* year, prominent among which will be
the department parade, by which it is
intended to convey a most impressive
object lesson concerning the various
lines of work. The singing of state
•songs and the displaying of state mot
toes will bo indulged in to a greater ex
tent than ever before and will lend pic
turesqueness to the convention.
On each day there will be a devotion
al service from 11:15 to 13 o’clock, con
ducted by Miss Elizabeth W. Green-
- wood, superintendent of the evangelistic
department. Bible readings will be
given by various evangelists, and on
Saturday this hour will be given to the
memorial service for those who hrfve
passed away during the year.
One of the most interesting features
will be the Armenian mass meeting,
which will be held on Supday, Nov. 15.
Some of the most prominent workers in
the cause of suffering Armenia will be
present and are expected to make brief
addresses. Those who are not able to be
there will send messages from the fron
tier. It is designed to hold this meeting
not only for the purpose of rallying sym
pathizers to the aid of the Armenians,
but as a memorial in remembrance of
the 100,000 who have been slaughtered
by the Turks. x.
While almost every one knewsJn a
general way that the W. C. T. U. is do
ing a most extensive work in the inter
est of mankind, and especially woman
kind, but very few people outside the
organization realize in how many fields
these noble women labor. Having its
•origin in the somewhat emotional cru
sade of women against saloons which
was begun in Ohio in the early seventies,
the National W. C. T. U. was organized
- in Cleveland in 1874. It had a compar
atively small beginning, but gradually
it has grown until now there are 10,000
local unions scattered all over the na
tion and having a membership of 500,-
OOO. It has 44 distinct departments of
work, each presided over by a woman
who is ap expert in that particular field.
Temperance, while the chief aim, is
not the only virtue which the associa
tion is trying to spread. It is directly

owing to its efforts that in 39 states
there are laws requiring the scientific
study of temperance in the public
schools. The laws forbidding the sale
of tobacco to minors and the various
statutes relative to social purity have
come into existence through the influ
ence of the union. In 1883 the World’s
W. C. T. U. was founded, after much
hard work, by the national association,
and now the white ribbon is a familiar
badge in every civilized country.
Some of the distinguished guests
from abroad who are expected to be
present at the St Louis convention are
Lady Henry Somerset of England, who
is vice president of the World’s W. O.
T. U., Countess •Schimmelmann of Nor
way, Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker of the
Salvation Army, Mrs. Maud Ballington
Booth, Miss Clara Barton and others.
Among the notable women who are
actively engaged in the work of the as
sociation in the United States is Mrs.
Lillian M. N. Stevens, who is the secre
tary ut large of the national organiza
tion. Mrs. Stevens is a native of Maine,
and until she was 21 was a teacher.
She first became interested in temper
ance work in 1874, when she organized
a local union at Old Orchard. She was
afterward instrumental in organizing
the Maine union. She has been an of
ficer of the national union for 15 years.

GENERAL BUTLER.
He Was the First Presidential Candidate
to Employ a Press Agent.
"General Butler originated the em
ployment and coined the term of press
agent at political headquarters,” re
marked a gentleman who' has given
many years to the consideration of ac
tive politics. ‘‘During his campaign for
the presidency on the labor ticket he
noticed that the representatives of
the newspapers gave but little atten
tion to the labor ticket headquarters.
He decided that this should not contin
ue. Bailey, the circus man, who was a
friend of General Butler, took some in
terest in his campaign, and General
Butler spoke to him of the neglect of
the newspapers. ‘Doas we do, ’ replied
Bailey, ‘and hire men to take your stuff
to the papers —we call them press
agents, though you can cal) them any
thing else. ’
“Theidea was adopted immediately
and Bailey was asked to spare one of
his press agents for a couple of months,
which he consented to do, and sent Ma
jor Hugh Coyle, who resides in this city
during the off circus season, to report
to General Butler. Coyle was therefore
the first political press agent employed
as such. He took hold of the Butler
boom and played it for all it was worth,
and ran the campaign on regular circus
principles. He had a man three or four
days ahead of the general, whose duty
it was to organize Butler clubs in case
there was not any or 'where the club
was an insignificant affair.
“The clubs were organized on the
principles and in the, same way that
armies, villagers and ballets are secured
for theatrical or circus representations
—that is, hired for the time they were
occupied in making the parade. The
uniforms, banners, flags, drums, trans
parencies and other paraphernalia of po
litical clubs were owned by General
Butler, and, like a circus tent, were sent
to the city where they were to be flsed one
or two days in advance. There is hardly
any political organization these days
which does not have a press agent, but
there are few of them who will ever
compare with Hugh Coyle, for he com
bined great experience . with--intelli
gence and was a manager in every
sense.”—Washington Star.

The Latest In Furs.
Fashion in furs shows a mixture’of
two kinds in one garment, which is very
encouraging to those who must remodel
their old capes and jackets, and very
pretty effects are made with many sable
tails and paws in the way of trimming.
Persian lamb, chinchilla, sable, sealskin
and inouffloif, which is light gray in
color, are the most fashionable furs, but
all the cheaper varieties seem to have
their uses. Chinchilla is combined with
seal this season, and short capes of sable
are used over longer ones of seal. The
fur boleros will be a useful fashion for
those who have a small amount of fur
to be transformed into a fashionable
garment. These are very becoming to
slight figures, and very stylish with
wide revers. The new fur coats are
rather short, not so full in the basque
as they were last season and have loose
fronts.
. The Glamour of Distance.
It is laughable how the consuls of the
different nations in -Africa, Asia and
South America are frequently criticised
by their papers at home for not being
more assiduous in looking after the
commercial interests of their countries,
and how they are bidden to take pattern
by the representatives of other nations.
Thus the British'trade papers hold the
German and United States consuls up
as admirable examples, and the United
States and Germany go into raptures
over the faithful and energetic conduct
of the Britishers. And so it goes on.-

Theta is a touch of pathos in the state
ment that the book most frequently
called for in the library of Sing Sing
prison is Charles Reade’s “Never Too
Late to Mend.” The same author’s
“Put Yourself In His Place”.holds the
second place in popularity with the in

( An Eminent Scientific Expert’s Opinion. •
- In enumerating the medical products of the South that impress me with' their practical value, I put
K McElree’s Wine of Cardui at the head of the list. My analytical and therapeutical researches fully corroborate 'the
manufacturers’ claims for this really scientific preparation for the cure of the common ailments known as “female ’ *
diseases.” Therefore, both as a physician and chemist, I commend it as an article of rare merit possessing great
I curative and strengthening properties.
