7 AT THE STATE HEADQUARTERS Belated Delegations Arriving--- Some of the Promi- nent Visitors, The Alabama delegates were not only met at the Baltimore and Ohio station by a large representation from the Christian En- deavoe societies of the Christian Church, | corner of 9th and B streets, but, after | reaching the church, which is to be their headquarters during the convention, were entertained at a sumptuous lunch. ‘Those who looked after the comiort of these visitors were the following: Enter- tainment committee—Mrs. M. S. Ellis, Mrs. E. S$. Kretschmar, Mrs. S. E. Beach, Mrs. | A. W. Bowen, Mrs. J. W. Van Vleck, | W. G. Hurley.

In the Californta church headquarters at the Central Meth- odist Protestant Church the western- ers have distributed circulars of Informa- tion upon every sub- ject that would like- ly be tnought of in connection with the preparations for such a gathering as they expect to have on the western coast a year hence. ‘The Californians started out right when they told the Endeavor- ers of the Central Ghurch _ Society : all about California Pluck, energy, hospitality and every other Virtue that is essential in helping make @ successful convention of Christian En- deavor. And now if an unsuspecting stranger happens to stray into the recep- tiom toom of the Central Church and men- tions the next convention he will be very daintily but positively persuaded that the only proper thing for him to do will be to go lo California next year, If the rates are satisfactorily fixed. But there's the rub.

The trunk Lines re- fused to grant even the customary stop- ever privileges on the tickets of Endeavor- ers who came from west of the Missis- sippi this year. That 1s the reason why the California, Nevada, Nebraska and other western delegations have so com- paratively few delegates {n Washington. California would have had 200 if the stop- over privileges had been granted, but now there are only about fifty. Notwithstanding all these discourage- ments the Californians are using every means and influence within thelr power to bear on the railroad officials and hope for final victory and a glorious time in San Francisco in ‘97. The Endeavorers of the Central Church are haviug a rather casy time of it so far as entertainment gces, but they are on the lookout all the time for stray Call- forniaas who might Nappen their way. is very hard to predict just how many ifornians will be at the convention. Even Mr. Watt, state excursion man- ager, has no positive assurance as to the number who will be here. Endeaverers from the golden state came fn at various nours day evening and today, and as each one arrives he 's asked how many are cominz, but the invariable reply is: “I don't know; there may be five or ffty OKLAHOMA AND MISSISSIPPI. The delegates from Oklahoma and Missis- sippi have their headquarters at the East- ena Presbyterian Church, where their en- tertainment is looked after by the follow- ing committees: Entertainment—the Misses May Hunter, Gura Pollock, Helen Jamle- son, Mary Irwin, Carolie Robinette and Mr. W. C. Coie. Registration—Mrs. C. G. Mor- gan, Mr. C. G. Morgan, Miss Rosalie Robl- nette. Reception—Mr. W. H.

Glenmore Appich, William Cooley | and John Hazard. Decorations—the Misses Lulu Cole, Alice Collins, Maud Hall and Charles Fuller. Ushers—Edgar Bucking- ham, Harry Austin, Harry Pearce, Herbert Hunter, Henry Dobson and George Camp- ell, UTAH. Only three delegates were expected from this state, and six have already registered at the Gurley Memorial Church, a showing which was the more gratifying when many delegations fell below the estimates made by the state managers. : ‘Those who have registered are Robart L Caskey, president of the state union and principal of the Salt Lake City Collegiate Institute; J.B. Rev. H. B. Steel- wan, Miss Marger: cullough, Miss Fi- devia T. Gee and Luey Perley of Sel- ma. The Salt Lake City delegates bring with them twenty-five thousand ‘nvita— tions, In the form of little booklets, isued by Governor Wells of Utah and the chamber of commerce and the Society of Christian Endeavor jn Salt Lake City. The invitations ask those coming to the San Francisco convention next year, those coming from the east, who would otherwise be on the road on Sunday, to stay over the Sabbath fn that city. It is felt that if a large number of Endeavorers should held meetings there even for a day, it would give a new impetus to the work there, and bring more enthusiasm to ‘heir se fes, still in the early stages of growth. NORTH CAROLINA. Christian Endeavorers from the land of tar and pines have been coming in in small batches and bigger batches sirce the main delegation arrived yesterday morning. They have kept the Endeavorers of the | Mt. Vernon Place Church, where they make their headquarters, busy continuously in registering them, finding them piaces of entertainment and giving general directions about the best places to see in the matter of points of interest. Tre North Carolinians don’t take long to get acquainted, and when they don't see a thing they want they ask for it, and gen- erally get it. They are a folly, good-na- tured set. and have an abundance of com- ical talent in their crowd to keep you smil- ing and make things lively all the time these dreary days, at the expense of the Weather man. Most cé€ the state union officers are in Washington, as are also quite a number of pastors and prominent workers from dif- ferent parts of the state. Air. Arthur D. Theyler of Winston is the state president, and he is « typical North Carolinian. He expressed himself today as more than pleased with the arrangements made for the reception and entertainment of the members of his delegation. He is highly pleased with the sociability of the members of tHe Mt. Vernon society, and says it will not be the fault of the host if the guests do not enjoy themselves. “Them’s my sentiments,” says each mem- ber from North Carolira. of the Reformed Church of America, the oldest Protestant church in this country, commenced, and will last for a couple of hours. Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis, the pastor of the church, is a member and will deliver the address of welcome. Rev. W. R. Ackhert of Hoboken, N. J., will preside. Among other addresses there will be one by Rev. A. De Witt Mason of New York city, the president of the Reformed Church Christian Endeavor Missionary Union. Fielding ©. Rosselle, the oratorio contralto ot New York city, ard Miss May Adele Levers of thif city will sing solos. There will be a rally of the Brotherhocd of Andrew ard Philip tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Ennis, as a member of the federal council, will deliver the ad- dress of welcome, while Rev.

The main body did not reach the city until about 4:30,over three hours after the scheduled time. They number- ed only about 12, not a third of the number that had been expected. They were, however, ten- dered a very enthu- silastic reception by the church, and were assigned to quarters as fast as possible. Among the delega- tion was Rev.

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 not 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 1s 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 busi- ress like delegation. ‘heir excursion man- ager, Mr. Dunbar Robb of Charleston, is a Lusy 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 spirlt. They have distributed a neat little ome-sheet circular of informa- tion, giving the state officers and the rally song for the state. The officers as as fol- laws: Rev. HA. Grant, Charleston, presi- dent; Dr. F. M. Stokes, Branchville; G. H. Atkinson, Columbia, and Rev. N. J. Holmes, Greenville, vice presidents; Allan Nichol- son, Union, secretary and treasurer, and Miss 8. M.

J., and started on his journey on a bicycle, but the rain caused him to take a train. F. W. Burnett of Southampton, L. L, is another bicycler who started from home on his wheel, and took refuge on the railroad. VIRGINIA, Virginia is so close to Washington 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- jorted at the church eadquarters, 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 visitor. "The lecture roum of the church in which are the headquarters has been made to look very inviting by a.Mbar- al display of bunting apd mottoes of the C.E.’s, in gold. Herg and there are cozy nooks, where those who prefer to walt 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 honorg ysually shoulder the responsibility, Mr. Lecky is no ex- ception to the rule. Hg has had hard- ly a wink of. sleep during the last few days of perfecting atrangements for the trip, and consequently, arriving at midnight last night, he came very fear oversleeping himself for the morning prayer meeting this morning, which he Ted’ Mr. Lecky ex- pected to bring over fl¥e hundred, but only has about two hundred, though this ts far in advance of the regresentation at Bos- ton. Thirty colored Virginians came in last evening in time to take ah 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 fac short of ex- pectations. Among the Richmond divines in the delegation are the Revs. L. M. Omer, J. Bi. Garrison and R. V. Omer. Miss Lula O. Phillips, one of the state officers, who resides in Richmond, {s also in Washington. Others of the Virginians are: J. D. Gibson, L. L. Loyall and Miss Zilla L. Anderson of Louisa county. Two prominent divines from_the ,presidential state are the Revs. Mr. Norrfs 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 Ilinois arrived in the cify last evening, and located at the Regent Hotel, corner of | Pehnayl- . vania avenue an¢ ® ZO Ss 15th street, and also (citunoiss in boarding houses. ‘ They visited the ; headquarters of the } delegation, which is ? Foundry M. BE. } Church, where they a 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 unton are present, and all the de- partment superintendents, 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’Springfield, and is also chaplain of the state senate. ‘The treasurer, Judge Willlam S. Dewey of Cairo, is judge of Alexandria county. The C. E. work in Chicago Is divided into three divisions. F. E, Page, who is presi- dent of the South Side division, and Mr. Weitzell, president of the North Side di- vision, are here. i B. F. Pope, one of the state C. E. direct- ors, and a business man pf Du Quoin, ts here. ees E. W. Schwartz of Carbondale, Ill, and a well-known member of.the,southern Illinois bar, is here. saigeh Rey. F. G. Smith, thé pastor of the Con- gregational Church, Abingdon, ts with the Illinois delegation. Rev. J. W. Fifield of Chitago is with the delegation. Raita Rev. W. B. Taylor, D. D.,,of Chicago and Prof. F. H. Willett of Chicago University are at 1223 Vermont avenue. a MARYLAND. At the Metropolitan “Mf. ‘&. Church about 900 Marylanders have fegigtered this morn- ing. There were more afrivals than at many of the other headquarters. The pros- pect during the morfing 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 thelr 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 sllver questibn, there being one lone delegate, Mrs. Ella R. Searle of Phoe- nix, Ariz. Mrs. Seurle is in hopes of being jolped today by two or three others from hef territory, but in case they don’t turn up she expects to fill thelr 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 24 street southeast, and escorted to the church, where they were warmly wel- ccmed.

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 scon 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 thelr 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 spectal 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 ere 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 1s a list of delegates from the Michigan societies, in addition to that published in The Star ye: terday: Mrs. F. A. Keeler, Mt.

An all-night vigil was maintained by the members of the C. E. committee last night at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. Delegates from Ohio make thie church 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 of the Ohio people 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 is regarded as a member of the Ohio delega- tion. Bliss Eliza Isabel Chase and Miss Mary Louise Dickerman of Boston, two of the hospitable entertainers of the Ohio People last year, are also here. Rev. B. M. Price of Dennison, Ohio, pas- tor of the Presbyterian Church of that place, is in the city. Rev. D. C. Coburn of Steubenville, Ohio, vice president of the M. P. Church C. E. Scclety of Ohio, is here. Rev. Dr. W. F. McCauley and wife of Toledo are here. Mg, McCauley is the ex- president of the Ohid State Union. Rev. C. L. U. McKee and Rev. H. C. Cal- hour of Wellsville and their wives are with the Ohio delegation. Rev. W. W. Whitehead, pastor of the M. P. Church of East Liverpool, is here. Rev. Dr. Howard Russell of Columbus, president of the Anti-salcon League of Ohio, is here. Mr. H. H. Appleton, auditor of the C. E. Unicn of Ohio, is here. Dr. J. A. McCollarn of Urichsville and Dr. E. C. Chandler of Steubenville are here. Mr. H. J. Repp, the president of the North Presbyterian Society of Cleveland, is here. Miss Smith, the daughter of a prominent Cleveland citizen, is with the Ohio delega- tion. M. M. Campbell, president of the Ohio annusl conference of the M. P. Church and general secretary of the denomjnation- al C. E. Union, is with the Ohio delegation. W. 8. Shoemaker and W. C. Fahl, busi- ness men of Mount Blanchard, Ohio, are in the city. Rev. C. Hunsdon and wife of Springfield, Ohio, came with the Ohio delegation. PENNSYLVANIA, ‘There are thousands of Pennsylvanians in the city; how many, nobody knows now. It has gone beyond a count at the Pennsyl- vania headquarters— Calvary Baptist Church. They have registered there in droves since yester- day, and there has been no chance to count the registration cards. The cards are stacked up in big bunches on the tables, and a count cannot be made be- fore tomorrow. In fact, there won't be any time to even make a count today, because the keystone people are getting in on almost every train. Five thousand is probably a con- servative estimate of the number here. All this big crowd, 100, has been handled by the committees of Cal- vary Church. There has not been a hitch in the arrangements made. Every member of @ committee was tired and sleepy this morn- ing from their arduous work of yesterday and last night, but they wore smiling faces, and greeted the incoming pleasure-seckers pleasantly. Delegations were on duty all night. - There is not a hotel in the country which could show a record equal to the force at Calvary Church. Caring for thousands of people in one day is a record-breaker. It must be remembered that this number was received at trains, registered and assigned to comfortable quarters somewhere in the ¢ity. Guides directed the visitors to their homes. All this was done without a break. In addition, the baggage room of the church cared for nearly 1,0) umbrellas, parcels and packages last night without a break or a mistake. The Pennsylvanians marvel at this, and do not know how to express their satisfaction. In addition to the new ar- rivals being handled today, there are many Pennsylvanians who got’ into obnoxious places by not going to church heafquarters to register and for information. These are being assigned new quarters as they go in and state ther cases. The Oxford Hotel is the hotel headquar- ters of the majority of the keystone people who are at hotels. The Litchfield, how- ever, is the headquarters of those from the eastern district of the state. Hundreds of Pennsylvanians and their sympathizers are wearing bi vi “Philadelphia, "98," on them, woes With The post office at the church ts doing a rushing business. It is sending out about as much mail as a substation. The corre- spondence room is a busy scene all through the day, and the resting room is a place of comfort to hundreds of weary visitors. CONNECTICUT. The Connecticut delegation aid not reach Washington until late last night, when they were met at the Baltimore and Ohio station by representatives of the Metro- politan Presbyterian Church and escorted to that edifice, which will be their head- quarters during their stay in Washington. They were welcomed at the church by the following committees: Entertainment, S. D. Luckett, chairman; the Misses Doherty, Julia Fernald, Josephine Fernald, Mrs. Fischer, Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Luckett, Mrs. Williams, Miss Grant, Miss Traile, Miss Zimmerman, Mrs. Ewing, Mrs. Brooks, Miss Scott and Messrs. Ewing, Fischer, Moore, Tralle, Croisant, Cook, Brearl. Clark, Bright, Howe and Hart; registr: tion, Me. J. W. Hart, chairman; guldes, Miss Lithdow, chairman; information, Mi: Burroughs, chairman. Mr. Hen: Bright is postmaster. NEW YORK. New Yorkers were arriving in Washing- ton all yesterday afterncon and last night So far about 2,500 are registered at the Church of the Covenant, corner of Con- necticut avenue and N streets, where the Erdeavorers from the empire state are king their headquarters. This number is considerably below what was expected, but they say at headquarters that those who are here make up in enthusiasm for their friends who stayed at home. Six delegates are here to represent Mon- tana at the convention. Their headquar- ters are at the Memorial Lutheran Church, at 14th and M streets northwest. Those who comprise the delegation are Rev. 0. C. Clark of Messcula, Miss Rosa Blake of Butte, J. H. Murphy of Bolder, F. B. Tur- ner and J. B. Turner of Helena and L. R. Warner cf Bolder. All have been well pro- vided for by the committees. MISSOURL. The Missouri delegates, after much de- lay, reached the city last night about 9 o'clock. There are some 275 of them reg- istered at the Memorial Lutheran Church already, and it is thought that there are @ good many others in town who have called at headquarters yet. ident Charles E. Paul of the local com- society has appointed the following mittees: Reception—Miss Stowell, chairman; M. Miss: A. Burger, Miss L. Urner, Miss M. Cal- Miss Zimmerman, Miss BE. Eckfeldt, .

About thirty-five Florida delegates have registered at the Sixth Presbyterian Church, corner of 6th and C streets south- west, and were received in an hospitable manner. Mr. Briesen, president of the Sixth Presbyterian Society, met the dele- gates at Manassas, and when the party reached Alexandria they were joined by the following: Messrs. John Imirie and John Brown, and Misses Ella Knight, Clara Gill and Belle Tuckey. When the train arrived here the delegates were escorted to the church, where they were supplied with their bag- gage, programs, maps, etc., and then, after refreshments were served, they were taken to their respective homes by the members of the entertainment committee. KANSAS, The delegates from Kansas will expe- rience no“inconvenience on account of the lack of arrangements at the Kendall Bap- tist Church, on 9th street just below B southwest, which is to be their headquar- ters. Flags and bunting in profusion deco- rate the edifi “The Kansas delegation was met on the road by Messrs. T. Bray and J. W. ‘Talbott, who went chead, and when they reached the city the party was joined by the reception committee at the depot and escorted to the headquarters. TENNESSEE. “Nashville, "98," is the cry and the hope of every ‘Tennesseean in the city. Wher- ever they are met their enthusiasm knows no bounds, and they are making it infec- tlous 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 “Cum- berland Presbyterian,” and he is being us- sisted by men like President Noel, Rev. P. M. Fitzgerald, Rev. Hugh Spencer Will- jams, Arthur Wardell, Rev. Dr. Van 7, State Secretary J. Peyton Robertson, State Treasurer R. J. Parnell and Miss May Lymm, state superintendent of the junior department. All these Er. leavorers reach- ed the city yesterday morning, with fully two hundred otuer Tennesseeans, all weur- ing the Nashville badge. The reception tenderea the Tennesseeans yesterday upon their arrival was a warm one. They have their headquarters, a: stated in The Star, at Assembly Presby- terian Church. Th were cordially re- ceived at the church by Dr. Little, the pastor, and the Endeavor Society of the chure! Walter McBath, a member of the society, met the train of the d ation at Washington Junction, forty miles out, and at the depot the president of the society, George Francis Williams, and several of the memiers, including Superintendent M. McBath of the Sunday school, added ‘thy greetings. Although it was rainin the Tennesseeans were too enthusiastic t ride in the street cars, and, accordingly, marched in a body to the church, carrying their flags and singing their rallying songs. At the church a short program was car- ried out, President Noell presiding. Pre dent Williams of the local society was called on for a speech and responded. He assured the Tenressee delegation of the support and sympathy of Assembly's young people in the effort of Nashville to secx the convention of . This was applauded. Re Ira Landreth spoke next. After the Washington Endeavorers pri nt had join- ed in singing the Washington welcome song, Dr. Fitzgerald led in prayer. The visitors then registered, and were conduct- ed to hotels and bourding houses. The hotel quarters of the delegation is at the Lincoln, corner of 10th and H streets north- west. One delegete from the Indian Territory has arrived. Miss Stella Mathes is the lone delegate who has so far registered at As- sembly. Thinking that ghere might be other Indian Territory delegates last night, the church register was kept open all night, three young people remaining on duty. NEVADA. There is only one delegate in the city from Nevada, Miss Lotta S. Howe of Car- son City, and she will be the only repre- sentative of her state at the convention of ‘96. She reached the city, after a journey of three days, Tuesday, and is stopping at the Normandie. She says it is owing to the high railroad rates that so few delegates will be at the convention from states west of the Mis- sissippi. The Nevada headquarters are at the Cen- tral Methodist Protestant Church, and Miss Howe divides her spare time between the church and down town headquarters. + Nevada's colors are gold and olive, and as Mrs. Howe is the oniy Enfeavorer in town wearing those colors, she may be easily distinguished in a crowd. OREGON. Oregon is cared for by Gunton Temple Presbyterian Church. From the far Pa- cific coast a comparatively large delegation S expected, some of them being siready rere, among them being a party of two, Mrs. Seliers and Miss Roth of Portland. WASHINGTON, Washington is being e1tertained by the same Endeavorers as those in charge of Minnesota and Oregon, snd in common with their fellow westerners have their State colors, silver and dark green, as dis- tinetive features of the delegations. The first arrival yesterday was Miss Helen Eldridge of Seattle, who was accom- panied by Miss Alice Munday of the same city. Miss Munday is oge of the me prominent young lady Enfleavorers of the northwest. es The Star and the The tssues of The Evening Star for the week from July 8 to July 14, inclusive, will contain a complete and interesting’ record of all the proceedings of the great Chr: tian Endeavor convention.
