Inspiring devotional etercisea were conducted |jy Mrs. Carrie K Uankin and included a scriptural talk by Madame Layyah Barakat. Mrs. Sara E. Foster and Uev. B. K. I Stephenson, pastor of Scott M. E. Church, ; ► poke hearty welcomes, to which response j was made by Mrs. X,ouemma Pedrick, (resident of Thaoher W. C. T. II. Mr. j Siephenson suggested that the W. C. T. j I , protest against, the running of Sunday trams on the Delaware railroad. ! Mrs. Mary B. Donnell of Newark, county president, was applauded when,, ia her report, she expressed the desire to bring the State membership up to EOtHI Mid stated that 100 new members had lieen gained during the last year, making 1 total of 7-11 paying member*. Mrs. Florence Adkins of Newark, sec retary, rc|*)rted that the llocklund Union, which started one year ago with 12 mem* lici*. had increased to 24. Mrs. Adkins raid that the greatest wrench in leaving tor her future home in Tennessee, would lie parting from the Delaware W. ('. T.

(Several subscriptions were received from prominent (leople in Wilmington. In all, $.508 has been paid by New Castle county on the Rest Rooms, which are most clear of debt, $400 1icing 1 yet due. Interesting recollections of the Suffrage Convention at Baltimore were given by Mr*. John A. Cranston, Newport, Slate franchise superintendent. She described the suffrage flag, which is similar to the national flag, except in its number of nars. Wyoming, as the first equal suf rage State, has a larger star than the other lour equal suffrage States, and 23 States having the municipal and school franchise are shown by stars with circles around them. The convention raised $4,128. The campaign for equal suffrage now being conducted in Oregon was included in Mrs. Cranston's address. "Two Ways of Conducting a Meeting" was an exercise which greatly interested the institute. Mrs. L. W. Emerson demonstrated the wrong way. First, with a few members of the Wilmington union, she held a typical meeting of the careless, inattentive sort, where secre taries, treasurer and all superintendents had forgotten their reports. The acting of the members was ramble; they talked, contradicted, ate candy und frequently had to be called to order. The effect was ludicrous and some in the audience confessed that they had witnessed such meetings. In contradistinction was a meeting conducted by Mrs. Martha Scott, president of tho Donnell Union of Mo • lellandsville, where the president pro ceeded with 11 prescribed order of busi ness. Every secretary and superintendent responded with full reports and all were attentive and decorous in behavior. A telegram asking that the 125th Psalm be read, was received from Mrs. Eva C. Benson of Baltimore, Md., for merly chorister for all meetings of the W. C. T. U. A return message was sent. Tho president appointed committees as follows; Resolutions—Mrs. Emerson, Miss Positive Cure for the DRINK HABIT Not a temporary—but a last ing cure —one that will banish forever the craving for intoxi cating drinks.
