Then Mrs, Li ingstone made a few opening remarks, | telling of the feeling of welcome upon being met at the railway station by members of the local committee, who were there to meet and greet, When | they came into the beautiful chure ‘nade even more beautiful by the flow ors and decorations, there was evi- | dence of desire te help make the visit one of profit and pleasure. Mrs. Anne E. Nash of Westerly | made the formal address of welcome, assuring the officers of the state union and delegates that the welcome was sincere and hearty. She expected the town of Westerly weuld be benefited the influence of the gathering of such a beody of women invited for the uplifting of humanity. In making respomse to the welcome Mrs, Geerge F. Rooke of East Provi- dence said as representing the state efficers and local uniens she extended grateful thanks for the cordial greet- ing. She was sorry that the skies | were darkened and the sun obscured, | but declaved that the visitors brought | sunshine with them, and came with a | determinatien to conquer the common | enemy and so eonduct themselves that | the Woesterly visitors would invite them te come again. Miss Emma G. Welch, recording sec- retary, read the roll call of ex-officio members, and there was zeneral re- spomse. President Livingstone then appointed Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Hodge as commitiee on eredentials; Mr: Neeh chairman of committee on cou tesles with pewer to appoint assoc ates; Mrs. Oramdail and Mrs. Chand- fer comumnitiee on resolutions; the | whele convention a cemmittee on | memWerships Mrs. Perry and Burk | were appointed page: Miss Mary E.

She said the Christian temperance workers of the state came and helped that the goed mame of Westerly would be restored and return to her place in the dry list at the end of the present license year.

Mrs. Liv- ingstone incidentally called attention to an item in the ‘treasurer’s report, that was a new one, and denoted closer interest with the World's Chris- tian Tem enice union, a donation from: the international body. Mrs. ivingstone declared the Rhode Island union desired to show appreciation, but for the greater purpose of bestow- ing ho upon a highly esteemed member who was well known in the World’s union. She then suddenly turned to Mrs. J. K. Barney of Provi- dence, nonor v president, who was eated on the platform, and handed her o life membership in the World's Christian. Temperance union. Mrs. Livingstone stated that the gift was from the unions of the state in ap- preciation of the work Mrs. Barney had done for them and the work in which they are all interested. Mrs. Barney said she was surprised and also surprised that over one thousand wo- men could keep the secret that made 0 complete a surprise. She thank vou.> n the- delegates sang ie That Binds.

She said she did considerable obe stetric work among Italians, being at the birth of nine babies last week. It was the custom to have liquors and cordials on such occasions. Still there are some good temperance men among the Italians and the sentiment is grow- ing. - Dr. Hardman told of her work among the shop girls on social disease and of the good results‘attained. She declared that the time will come when physicians will not administer alcohol in_medicine Mrs. E, G.
