II. llrydonbaugh, steward, of Blair

tall of some of tho reports and tho

that tho matter would have to bo dis
cussed under tho head of miscellane
ous business and explained that only
a part of tho reports and only tho most
Important facts would bo published.

A motion was adopted that the president-elect

tional conference of charities and cor
rection and that he be empowered to
select two associates. The committee
on programme and legislation will by
rule be appointed by the president
elect and published in the official min
utes of the convention.
Tho following resolution was pre
sented by Secretary pro tern Hughes
and was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Important question
of tho unwise appropriation of public
moneys to Institutions not under state
control of state legislature, so ably pre
sented by Dr. Walk in his presidential
address, bo referred to the committco on
legislation for consideration and report.
D. S. Brumbaugh, of Blair county,
made tho report of delegates to the
national conference of charities and
correction nt Toronto. Ont., In July.
There was no discussion of this re
port. President Walk announced that an
opportunity would be given for the
presentation of the names of cities
proposed for the next place of meet
ing. None were named at this time,
however.
LANG STAFF PRESIDENT.
W. S. Langstaff, of this city, the first
vice-president, was called to the chair
and presided during the remainder of
the afternoon.
Rev. John Henderson, steward, of the
Allegheny City poor house, read a
paper on "Qualifications, Responsibil
ities and Duties of Directors of the
Poor." A director should bo, he said,
a business man with a mind of his
own and proof against the foibles of
crank3 and politicians; a man of great
patienco and not easily provoked; nn
honest, moral and upright man. Ills
duties are Indicated In the most
humane meaning of the management,
protection and care of the poor. It Is
a sacred trust that demands the exer
cise of all the qualifications mentioned.
Tho responsibilities are great when It
is considered that a director stands be
tween the helpless and a cold world.
It requires peculiar traits of character,
grace, courage and charity.
Mr. Henderson's paper was brief, but
so apparently sensible and clearly
understood that It won for its author
considerable applause.
Ncrl Dietrich, of Schuylkill county,
who was to have read a paper on "How
to Improve tho Moral Influences of the
Almshouses," was not present, nor was
Mrs. Sue Wlllard, of Indiana county,
who had been assigned the subject
"The Industrial School for Wayward
and Incorrigible Girls." The latter
topic was presented in a circular read
by Mrs. Harriot L. Lay, president of
the Children's Aid society, of Venango
county. It was an appeal for the es
tablishment of a home In Indiana
county for which 51.100 has been se
cured toward a necessary $5,000, the
Institution to be for wayward girls un
fit for private homes and not suffic
iently Incorrigible for commitment to
confinement Tho homo would be open
to inmates from all over tho state.
The circular solicited subscriptions.
REPORTS RECEIVED.
A period was devoted to receiving re
ports which were made as follows:
Berks county, O. C. Sltler, stewatd;
Schuylkill county, Fred. Alwensfield;
Allegheny county, II. W. Ochre,
The legality of tho scheme proposed
In tho circular read by Mrs. Lay was
questioned by E. P. Gould, of Erie,
chairman of tho committee on legis
lation. Unless tho homo obtained
proper state sanction ho did not know
by what right girls could be sent thero
by poor officials or by court. William
E. Page, of WUHamsport, dissented
from Mr. Gould's view and ertld the
poor authorities of Willlamsport dU
posed of children as they saw 'fit and
A LETTER TO WOMEN
From Mra. Jamoo Gorrigan,
For sovontecn years I have suffered.
Periods were so very painful that I
would havo to go to tho dootor ovcry
month.
Ho said that I hnd an enlargement of
tho womb, and told my husband that I
must undergo nn
operation, as I had
tumors in tho
womb, and It
was a case of
lifo or death.
I wa3 ope
rated upon
twice, but it
did not seem
to do mo any
good, it mado
ino very weak.
1 was troubled
with tho leu
corrhoca a
great deal.
I also suffer
ed with tho
Eiclc headache,
vomiting
6pclls, back
acho all tho
time, terriblopaininmyloft 6ldc,ohllls
loss of appetite, and could not sleep
nights. After taking sovcral bottles of
Lydla E. Pinkham's Vcgetablo Com
pound, some Liver Pills, and using your
Sanativo Wash, I recovered.
I can cat well, and every ono that
sees mo tells mo I am a different per
Gon. I can do all my own work, sleep
well and feel well. I nm growing
stronger every day, and nm able to go
out and enjoy a walk and not feel all
tired out when I return, as I used to. I
doctored for sixteen years, and in nil
thoso years I did not feel as well as I do
at tho present time. I wish that every
woman that is troubled as I was, would
try that mcdljino. Oh ! it is so good
to feel well, and it is all owing to Mra.
Pinkham's kind advice and medicine.
Mrs. James CortruaAM', 284 Center St.,
JumaUa Plain, Mass,
would not hesitate to send them to the
proposed home.
A rather vague and Impractical reso
lution was offered by James Moore, of
Cambria county, providing that tho
committee on legislation cause to be
complied and published for distribution
among the poor and charity boards of
the state all tho operative poor laws
of tho state.
Secretary Hughes remarked that the
cost would bo something enormous and
that the size of such a published book
"would equal that of nn unabridged
dictionary." Ho suggested that no ac
tion be taken on the resolution unless
tho cost entailed by Its adoption was
first provided for.
A way out of definite consideration
of the matter was found In the adop
tion of a motion by Captain Lawrence,
of Philadelphia, that all resolutions be
referred without debate to the com
mittee on resolutions.
The meeting adjourned after Presi
dent pro tern Langstaff had made
known the Invitation of tho Scranton
board of control that the delegates in
spect the city's High school building.
EVENING SESSION.
An unfortunate Incident delayed the
beginning of tho evening session and
brought about a change of programme.
Something happened to disarrange tho
building's electric lighting system and
everything became shrouded in dark
ness at the hour for opening. Lamps
were procured for the hall and during
twenty minutes of waiting there was
music by tho orchestra.
On motion tho country reports and
miscellaneous business were dispensed
with.
Rev. Rogers Israel delivered a very
capable and highly appreciated address
on "A Study In Poverty," in which he
held that the main cause of pauperism
was lack of Individual capacity. Drink
and kindred evils ho considered minor
causes. He advocated spiritual atten
tion to public school pupils along non
sectarian lines, believing that a spir
itual attention equivalent to the pres
ent physical and mental instruction
would bear good fruit.
"Our Commonwealth and Her Char
ities" was the subject of an address by
Attorney A. J, Colborn. Pennsylvania,
he said, had carried out the full mean
ing of the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution in her early ex
ample of religion, education and char
ity, no ono of which can be separated
from the other two.
A WORTHY SENTIMENT.
Mr. Colborn expressed a sentiment
which fitted that contained in the clos
ing words of Mr. Israel, that education
of morals and the spirit should keep
pace with the culture of the mind and
body. When such general spiritual In
struction had had a reasonable period
of swav It would be found to hav.e so
Improved personal character as to
bring about a big decrease in tho state
expenditures for tho care of the pauper,
the criminal and the Insane.
At the close of the address President
Walk remarked that he did not believe
spiritual instruction, no matter how
bring about a big decrease in the state
management.
Mr. Colborn had in hl3 address re
marked upon the occasional brutality
of keepers in public charitable institu
tions. Captain Lawrence, of Philadel
phia, took serious exceptions to the
statement and said it was not true of
Philadelphia. In reply Mr. Colborn
said, he had no apologies to offer; that
he had made his observation advised
ly, and that It did not necessarily ap
ply to Philadelphia, but that Captain
Lawrence knew that ho (Mr. Colborn)
had made a correct statement. Cap
tain Lawrence disclaimed any knowl
edge of brutality in any Pennsylvania!
Institutions, excepting one or two most
isolated cases of tho past that had been
properly dealt with.

anket Talk.
Our new, enlarged quarters enable us to show
a much larger and more extensive line of Blankets
than formerly. We've paid special attention in
stocking the new store with Blankets to have only
reliable goods and the prices we have named on our
entire stock are lower than good Blankets have been
sold for in spite of the rapid advances in the price of
wool.
Our entire line, from the cheap Domet Blank
et, at 45c. a pair, to the finest California wool, is
well worthy the attention of Blanket buyers.
II ABOUT COMFORTABLES
Comfortables that will make you comfortable.
We've been at much trouble to secure a stock of the
right kind, the kind that temper cold winter nights,
well stuffed, soft, fluffy, handsomely made of choice
silkoline and knotted with worsted.
$1.25, $1.50, $1.75, $2.00.
