CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION, Over Forty Thousand Attended the Cleveland Gatheriag. The Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor has undertaken another great project, which is nothing lees than an at- tempt to enlist all the members of that or- ganization, with the leading denominations! mission boards, in a wide-reaching and thorough campaign to arouse the mission- ary spirit among all Christians. It is a missionary extensfon movement university extension. The plan was evolv- ed by Stephen L. Mershon, 2 Chicago busl- ness man, who became interested in the Christian Endeavor Society severzl years ago. His idea was to have the various boards of home and foreign missions unite in se- curing good lecturers to speak in various places upon missionary werk, and thus arouse the interest of the people. Mr. Mer- shon was anxious that the Society of Chri: tian Endeavor should take hold of the en- terprise and heip to push it. Accordingly he went to Cicveland and sought to secure the indorsement of his plan by the trustees of the socicty. For two days he was in conference with representatives of ell de- nominational mission board: A meeting was finally heid with the Endeavor trustees and the following resolution was adopted by the trustees: “Resolved, That the trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor grant to the Christian Endeavor missionary extension course their approval and iadorsemeni as a wise and economical method cf arousing in the young people an inierest {a the mis- stonery work of the church ef Christ, and that the United Society of Christian En- deavor aid in this by advising their state and local organizations to avail of the plans of the Christian Endeavor missionary course.” The following committee was appotated to carry the resolution into effect: Rev. Dr. P. 8S. Henson, Rev. Dr. J. H. Barrows, President Harper of the University cf Illi- nols, Bishop Fallows, Rev. J. Z. Tyler, Rev. Dr. M. Rhodes and Rey. Dr. G. C. Kelly. Mr. Mershon explained his plan at the tent meeting yesterday afternoon, «nd suc- ceeded in arousing much enthusiasm. He said that 5,000 societies had given $1:5,000 last year to Genominational missions, It was propcsed to make the contribuions for missions $1,000,000 this year. The other speakers at the tent meeting were Rev. Gilbert Reid of China, who gave @ greeting from China; Rev. N. D. Hills cf Evanston, Ill, whose subject was “The Strategic Eiement in Missions,” and Miss Frances E. Willard, whore subject was “Woman and Temperance.” At the Saengerfest Hall meeting yester- day afterncon Rev. E. E. Baker of Dayton, Ohio, spoke on “Systematic and Proportion- ate Giving to God;” Jonas Spotted Kear of the Saentee Agency, Nebras‘ta, on “Chris- tlan Endeavor Among the Indians,” and Rev. herman Warszawiak of New York on “The Movement Among the Jews Toward Christ." Mrs. George H. Hubbard of Foo Chow also gave a greeting from China. Last evening Rev. B. F. Raymond of Middletown, Conn., preached in the hall, and Rev. A. J. F. Behreads of Brodklyn in the tent. These were the concluding ser- | vices of the convention. Secretary Baer announced that the regi tration of delegates from outside of Cle land numbered 18,7), and those from Clev land 21,210, making the total attendance cf delegates 49,000, Yesterday morning was spent in attend- ing services at different churches through- out the city. oe Delaware's Large Qugt: The whele nunvber of men furnished to the Union army. xecording to the adjutant general's report of Neveraber 9, 1880, from the firing cn Fort Sumter to the close of the war was 2,85,(28, of which the north- ern states fucnished 2,482,801 mea. The census of IM) showed that the number of white males of the military age (betwen eighteen and forty-five) in tne northern States was 4,527,0W), so that the troops fur- nished by them ‘to the Union army were 56 per cent of their available men. Turning to the slave states, the first discovery is the amazing cne that Delaware furnished a larger number of troops to the Union army in proportion to her avilable military popa- lation than any other state in any part of | the country. This ts so contrary to accept- ed ideas that the average northern repub- ican would proneunce the statement ab- surd on its face. But the figures leave no zoom for doubt. Delawere hud in 18d) only 18,273 white males between the ages cf eighteen and forty-five.

By death of Lord Forester the nu:m- ber of temperal peers who are Angziica: clergymen has been reduced to three—the Marquis of Nermanby, Lerd Scarsdale and Lord Plunket, the Protestant archnishop of Dublin. For nine years, from his accession to the peerage in 1854 tii his death in May, 1893, a Roman Cathelic priest, the late Lord Petre, who was domestic prelate to the pepe, had seat in the house of lords. it has been stated that Lord Forester wa the only peer who had the privilege of ap- rearing uncovered in the royal presence. ‘This ts incorrect. Lord Kingsale, an Irish peer, who Is the thirty-second holder of the ule, enjoys the hereditary privilege, grant- ed by King John to his ancestors, of wear- ing his hat in the royal presence. A sim- flar privilege was granted to the ancestor of Lord Forester, who was a commoner, by Henry VII. The Forester peerage was create? so late as 1821. The privilege is, of course, very sparingly exercised. The etiquette is to appear in the royal presence covered just for un instant, and then immediately to remove the hat. It is stated that the Lord Kingsaic of the day remained covered for some time in the presence of George III and his queen, whereupon the King rebuked him thu: “Although you keep on your hat in th presence of your fovereign, surely you ought to take it off in the presence of a ledy!" —-—__ +02 The Confidence of Youth, From Town Topics.

The members are pledged to guard an’ protect the trees on or in front of their own prem- ises and to use their influence with their ueighbors to the saine purpose.

The fair habitual users of the weed arc not con- fined by any means to actresses or women who have disrczard for the proprieties. J knew of a cigaretie club in New York com- Poced of young women, who met at each cther’s houses for the purpose of indulging in the delights of a surreptitious smoke, whore members were the very pinks of propriety in every other way, and whose rareats would have nad one ft aiter an- other had they known of whet was going on. it is a pretty well proven physical fact that a person who begins smoking cigar- extes for the fun of the thing becomes ad- dicted to their use in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, or a percentage pretty near- ly as big anyhow. There are many women who move in the best American circles who are ax much enslaved by the cigarette habit as the veriest dude in existence.
