SOUTH CAROLINA. South Carolina headquarters were minus South Carolina Endeavorers yesterday af- ternoon. The people from the pitehfork state are right in it when there is any sightseeing on the program, and yester- day was the time for doing the town. The South Carolinians saw all there was to be seen, and they did ot see them like the cyclones” in the Versailles —_ gallery, elther. They can tell you all about the Senate and ° House halls, pictures in the rotunda and the sight from the top of the dome. Then they can tell you how Uncle Sam's money 13 made, but they can’t show you how; they will tell in the quintessence of descriptive language about the beautiful and ugly things to be seen in the museum and Smith- sonian, and every other public building in town, and a good many that are not public. ‘They will tell you all these things in a business like manner, for they are a busl- ress like delegation. “Their excursion maqn- ager, Mr. Dunbar Robb of Charleston, is a busy business man, but also one of the busiest and most earnest Endeavorers of the earthquake city. From him the other Endeavorers of the delegation seem to catch the spirit. They have distributed a neat little ome-sheet circular of ioforma- tion, giving the state officers and the rally song for the state. The officers as as fol- laws: Rev. H.4I. Grant, Charleston, presi- dent; Dr. F. M. Stokes, Branchville; G. H. Atkinson, Columbia, and Rev. N. J.

Mr. G. S. Hobart, a nephew of the Vice President, nominee on the republican ticket, has arrived here. He ts from Marlboro’, N.

L, is another bicycler who started from home on his wheel, and took refuge on the railroad. VIRGINIA, Virginia ts so close to Washireton that the delegation from that state feels quite at home’in this city, and as yet there have been no bad cases of homesickness re- Ported at the church headquarters, the First Baptist, at the corner of 15th and O streets. This may be partly due to the fact that the delega- tion is not half as large as was expect- ed, and consequently each son and daugh- ter of the old domin- fon has picked out a crony from among the Baptist Endeav- erers with whom to spin yarns and visit the sights of the city. One of the Richmond delegates said this morning that he had thought until the past six hours that his par- ticular city was the most hospitable on the earth, but that he Is compelled to modify his opinion to read: “Richmond knows how to entertain a convention,but Washington is right with it.” ‘This change of opinion was brought about because the First Baptist Endeavorers waited until midnight last night with full nuinbers in order to give a hearty welcome to their visitors. “The lecture room of the church in which are the headquarters has been made to look very inviting by a. Itbar- al display of bunting aad mottoes of the C.E.’s, in gold. Herg and there are cozy nooks, where those who prefer to wait until the sun comes out for good before seeing the sights are forming néw acquaintances and renewing old ones. The first section arrived last night, hav- ing on board about fifty delegates’ from Richmond, with about twenty-five more picked up from Gordonsville and there- abouts. Mr. Robert -Lecky is the state president of Virginia, .and as those who bear the honors usually shoulder the responsibility, Mr, Lecky !s no ex- ception to the rule. Hg has had hard- ly a wink of sleep durfng the last few days of perfecting atrangements for the trip, and consequently, arriving at midnight last night, he came very near oversleeping himself for the morning prayer meeting this morning, which he led Mr. y ex- pected to bring over five hundred, but only has about two hundred, though this ts far in advance of the rejrgsentation at Bos- ton. Thirty colored Virginians came in last evening in time to take an active part in this morning’s prayer meetings. Parties of two and three are continually dropping in and registering, so that the delegation may not, after all, fall so fae short of ex- pectations. Among the Richmond divines in the delegation are the Revs. L. M. Omer, J. Mi. Garrison and R. V. Omer. Miss Lula O. Phillips, one of the state officers, who resides in Richmond, {s aiso in Washington. Others of the Virginians are: J. D. Gibson, L. L. Loyal and Miss Zilla L. Anderson of Louisa county. Two prominent divines from the ,presidential state are the Revs. 7 Mr. Norris of Ballston and W. R. Max- well, pastcr of the Disciples’ Church of Norfolk. Miss Annie Wightman, daughter of Dr. J. T. Wightman, formerly pastor of the| Mt. Vernon Place M. E. Church, now lo- cated at Lexington, Va., is in the city, as is also Rev. C. D. Bulla of Roanoke, Va., formerly a prominent member of the Mt. Vernon Place Society. ILLINOIS. A large proportion of the delegation from the state of IMlinots arrived in the city last evening, and located at the Regent Hotel, cerner of Pennsy!- nia avenue and Sth street, and also in boarding houses. They visited the headquarters of the delegation, which ts Foundry M. E. Church, where they found the members of the committee on duty and prepared to give them a hearty reception. The church was kept open all night, and the various departments were in charge of members of the com- mittee. As the dele- gates came in they registered, and then were assigned quarters. Up to noon today some eight hundred had registered, but It is thought that at least one thousand from Illinois are in the city. All the officers of the state union are present, and all the de- partment supertntendents, with one excep- tion. The president of the state union, Rev. O. W. Stewart, is pastor of the Christian Church of Mackinaw. The vice president, Rev. M. F. Troxell, is the pastor of the Lutheran Church at Springtield, and is also chaplain of the state senate. The treasurer, Judge Willlam S. Dewey of Cairo, is judge of Alexandria county. The C. BE. work in Chicago Is divided into three divisions. F. E. Page, who ts presi- dent of the South Side division, and Mr. Weitzell, president of the North Side di- vision, are here. B. F. Pope, one of the state C. E. direct- ors, and a business man. of Du Quoin, is here. aw W. Schwartz of Cgrbondale, Ul, and a well-known member of the,Southern Illinois bar, is here. : Rey. F. G. Smith, the pastor of the Con- gregational Church, Abingdon, ts with the Illinois delegation.’ Rev. J. W. Fifield of ‘Chitago is with the delegation. Se Rev. W. B. Taylor, D. D.,.of Chicago and Prof. F. H. Willett’ of Chicago University are at 1223 Vermont avenue. MARYLAND. At the Metropolitan Mf. &. Church about 900 Marylanders have fegigtered this morn- ing. There were more arrivals than at many of the other headquarters. The pros- pect during the morning of a clear day caused a number of the Marylanders to leave home after having delayed doing so yesterday on account of the rain, ARIZONA. Arizona 1s one of the candidates for ad- mission into the Union, and so she thinks it well to always have somebody in evi- dence at every national convention, bearing aloft her colors and impressing upon every- body the fact that she woud make a worthy sister state. The Christian Endeav- orers from the southwest are doing their part in this laudable object by sending a delegation here to represent them. So far, the delegation gives promise of being a unit on the silver questidn, there being one lone delegate, Mrs. Ella R. Searle of Phoe- nix, Ariz. Mrs. Searle is in hopes of being joiged today by two or three others from hef territory, but in case they don’t turn up she expects to fill their place as far as possible, and will probably cast her ballot for San’ Francisco as the place for holding the next convention. DELAWARE. The Delaware delegation arrived yester- day afternoun between 3 and 4 o'clock via the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and were immediately taken in charge by a large delegation of the Y. P. S. C. E. of the Church of the Reformation, Rev. Dr. W. E. Parson, pastor, Pennsylvania avenue near 2d street southeast, and escorted to the church, where they were warmly wel- ccmed. The following committees were on duty: Reception, the Misses Christine A.

Edith Dumont and William Shane; ushers, Mr. T. P. Hick- man, Edward Hesse, John Erbach and Jni Anderson; music, Dr. Clarence E. Yount, Miss Helen Slater and Mrs. J. A. Suther- land. Miss Lena Urbach is postmistress. Miss Poygansee, president of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society of the Church of the Reformation, was the cause of one of the most pleasant incidents of the week. The event occurred yesterday, but did not come to light until today. Believing that she could be of service to some of the visitors Miss Poygansee went to the Baltimore and Ohio station at the early hour of 4:30 a.m., and there found a number of sleeping people from almost every section of the country, who had ar- rived on trains during the night. Miss Poygansee made herself known to each person present, and in a little while she had the man from Texas acquainted with his fellow Endeavorer from Indiana, and so on through the group, until she had all in the depot acquainted with each other and shortly after had a regular interstate conference in operation. As soon as the people in the city began to resume their usual duties Miss Poygan- see had each of the visitors sent to the church which was his headquarters, and con all were made as comfortable as could be expected. Miss Poygansee said today that it was a source of much regret to the members of the reception staff that so many Endeav- orers from other places come here without wearing insignia of any kind, and in this way the delegates themselves are often put to much inconvenience. The members of the staff are ever ready to give all the information desired in ref- erence to the work of the convention, but they hesitate to offer their services to strangers who wear nothing to show that they are Endeavorers, as by doing so they frequently expose themselves to sneering and uncomplimentary remarks on the part of some of those to whom they desire to show courtesy. MICHIGAN Since the Michigan special arrived in town Tuesday night, Endeavorers from the Wolverine state have been coming in on every train from the northwest, and this afternoon there were nearly 300 delegates of that state regis- tered at state head- quarters in the North Presbyterian Church. They were coming singly and in squads all yesterday after- noon and evening, the largest squad coming in late in the afternoon. Those Michigan Endeavorers who were fortunate enough to get in the city early spent the day viewing the pub- lic buildings and other points of in- terest, and, notwith- standing the dis- agreeable state of the weather, enjoyed themselves as only a crowd of wideawake Endeavorers from the potato patch country can. After seeing all there was to see in the way of sights, the Michiganders went home, washed up, had a good dinner, and then at- tended the preliminary meetings, most of them going to the meeting in the Mt. Ver- non Place Church. The following is a list of delegates from the Michigan societies, in addition to that published in The Star yes- terday: Mrs. F. A. Keeler, Mt.

E. committee last night at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Delegates from Ohio make this chureh their headquarters, and as there were delays on the road coming here they kept dropping into the church in groups of two and three practically all night. The delegation is com- fortably located at the Fredonia Hotel, and today some thou- sand Ohioang® have been registered at the church. One of the pleasant features of the visit y of the Ohio peopie to this city is the fact that they have with them some of those who pleasantly en- tertained them dur- ing their stay in Bos. ton last year. Rev Dr Barton, the pas- tor of the Shaw- mut Congregational Church of Boston, where the Ohio dele- gation made their headquarters last = year, Is here and igs regarded as a member o the Ohio delega- tion.

TENNESSEE. “Nashville, '98," is the cry and the hope of every fTennesseean in the city. Wher- ever they are met their enthusiasm know no bounds, and they are making it infec- tious with their brother delegates from the south and from other portions of the coun- try. The fight for Nashville is being waged by Rev. Ira Landreth, editor of the “Cu ‘and Presbyterian,” and he is being sisted by men like President Noel, Rev. M. Fitzgerald, Rev.
