Secretary T. M. Lemly, of the Am ericas Y. M. C. A., has returned'from an attendance on the Thirty-sixth an nual convention of the International Young Men's Christian Association, held at Washington City. Mr. Lemly was delighted with what he saw and heard and returned with enthusiasm renewed In the work of the association In all lines. "We had over 2,000 delegates,'' said Mr. Lemly yesterday. "The city of Washington was fairly given over to the delegates and visitors. At each hotel at noon prayer meetings were held, to which all the guests of the hotel were Invited. “The convention itself was grand and uplifting. Visitors were there from all parts of the world. Am bassador James Bryce, of London, was one of the speakers, as was also Bryan, Dr. Parkhurst and Secretary Strauss, of the Department of Com merce and Labor. “Bryan made a great hit with the membership and won hosts of new friends. It had been planned that he should speak on Saturday afternoon from the steps of the Treasury build ing. but the Inclemency of the weather drove the crowd to Convention Hall. He was Introduced by Secretary Cor- telyou, who referred to Mr. Bryan as 'my friend.’ Mr. Bryan said he was proud of bis membership In the As sociation. His theme was along the line of 'Christianity the Cause of Our National Greatness.' ” “One thing especially gratifying to me was that In so wide a field from which the delegates came, centers of higher criticism and agnosticism, not a note was Struck by the speakers which did not ring true to the aton ing power of Christ, and tend to place his name if possible on a more stable plane. The Association Is certainly not affected by the destruc- tlve'work of the higher criticism, but presents the cross of Christ in all of Its purity and simplicity. "Never before did I so thoroughly appreciate the greatness of the work. The Y. M. C. A. has been found suit able for every line of activity in which young men are engaged. In railroad work it has the unqualified endorsement of the managers of the big systems. In the Army and Navy Its value Is highly esteemed by the Government. "President Roosevelt gave us a re ception at the White House. Only those wearing the Y. M. C. A badge could get In. He was very gracious. We were kept moving by the secret service men. I told him. I was from the South, and he said something about being 'delighted,' as I was hur ried on. “The convention was In every way Inspiration and its good effects will be carried over this and other countries by the delegates and visi tors."

The gates will swing shut at midnight tomorrow night, the lights will go out and the Jamestown ter-centennlal will pass Into his tory. It Is rumored that Immediately after Its closing the exposition com pany will go Into the hands of a re ceiver. Officials of the company de clare that the assets exceed the lia bilities and that all creditors—the government being the largest—will be paid la full. While the exposition has been, to some extent, a social, ed ucational and patriotic Buccess, It has been a dismal failure financially. While the people of Norfolk have been proud of their big fair, most of them are glad that it Is over and that they can now return to ' their former mode of life. Norfolk Is more than a little weary of being on dress parade. Tomorrow -will be observed as closing day. with a carnival as the feature. It had been at first sugges ted that the day be celebrated as Tucker-Martin day, In honor of the president and director general of the exposition, following the custom of previous expositions.
