Permanent Deleqates From Fourteen Counties Unite for Work, Not Against the W. C. T. U . but in a Different Wny. The non-partisan temperance women of Pennsylvania met in con forerenco yesterday morning and afternoon at the Hall of the Ameri can Sunday School Union, 1122 Chestnut Street, and unanimously formed the "Women's Christian 'I cmperancc Alliance;" "not as an opposition to the W. C. T. U. " as one of the speakers put it, ''but as reinforcements in the great cause of temperance work. A meeting was held at the Chambers' Presbyterian Church, where addresses were de livered by several leading clergy men and others in the ©vening*. There wore delegates present from thirteen counties, and during the convention at least 100 women" were present. Among those who partici pated in the information of the new society were such prominent ladies s these : Mrs- Cyrus E. Foss, of Philadelphia, wife of Bishop Foss; Mrs. Joseph 0. Weeks, Mrs. H. J. Campbell and Mrs. Ellen M. Wat son, of Allegheny; Mrs. Harry White, wife of Judge White of Indiana County, and Mrs. H. W. Williams, wife of Judge Williams of the Supreme Court. DR. DODSOV TAKING NOTES. Throughout the session there was the kindest feeling expressed toward the \Y C. T. U. from which most of those present wcro seceding A possible exception of this might have been found in the report of the secretary, Miss M. S. Shepherd, who declared that it was "better to serve (rod than tho W. C. T. U." and who made one or two other kindred associations wherein sarcasm was latent. There was hitter debate during the day and all tho business which will be completed to-day was unanimously adopted. Throughout both sessions Dr. Caroline M. Dod son, of this city, an enthusiastic W. C. T. U. woman and a supporter of tho larger organization, occupied a front seat, not as a sympathizer but as a note taker. During the after noon Mrs. Dr. H. M. French, Presi dent of the Philadelphia County W. T. U., also came in and took n j seat well toward the front. The . meeting was called for those who • inpathizcd with the new move - ! ' ment and hence neither Dr. Dodson nor Dr. French took nny part in the meeting. The opening session began with , prayer by Mrs. Campbell. After - the Scripture bad been read, be ginning with the following sign \- cant words : "For Zion's sake will 1 not hold my peace," Mrs. M. A. Miller led in prayer, and then the Secretary, Mrs. Nhepard, read the address of Mrs. Harry White, who presided. The address recited the cause for the formation of fhe new movement, was firm in tone, but dealt kindly with the W. C. T. IT. These words show the temper of the address. It is submitted that the scenes of . discordant discussion of the Pitts burg Convention of a year ago, and those of the recent Chicago Con vention. bring more reproach, dis couragement. and defeat to the Christian women, than two separate organizations, one pursuing the partisan course, the other positive ly prohibiting it. Each in their sphere, may be blessed with fruits meet for their efforts, and the strife ' and dissensions now before us avoided. Mrs. White also paid that mat ters had come to the condition that it was necessary to choose between working further by the side of those with whom they had not tho proper kind of sympathy or malting a ces sation of work entirely. Owing to partial loss of Mrs. White's voice through cold, Mrs. Campbell was j chosen sis temporary presiding of ficer. Greetings from a Putnam, Connecticut, non-partisan society and from liev. T. IT. Amos and Bishop Campbell, of this city were read. Miss Shophard then read the Secretary's report, in which r lie I said there were no definate figures to offer, but showed hew the move- j : rnent was spreading in various conn- I ties. From Beaver County she had j received a letter containing thirty-! six signatures, from Mifflin County, ! fourteen had signed another, and i from other Counties had come quick i responses. While she was reading 1 a similiar letter arrived from La- i Porte Sullivan County, containing ' | tho names of twenty-five others. ' Miss Shophard closed by giving ! some of tho "don'ts" that had come | to her the most prominent of which j were many admonitions against ] calling the new association anything i like W. C. T. IT.and against mixing j up woman's sutferage with the ob- ' ject for existence. Before closing ' the morning session, the following s Committee on Constitution was api pointed: Mrs. Joseph D. Weeks. Allegheny County; Mrs. M. M. Hullings, Venango; Mrs. D. Price, Chester; Mrs C. It. Jones, Allen town; Mrs. C. E. Honey, Philadel phia; Mrs. Judge White, Indiana County. THE FOUNDERS OF THE ALLIANCE.

XJ. ; in which Mrs. Swift expressed her sympathy for the new society and ' said that she desired to be identi fied with it. > THE AFTERNOON SESSION 1 .

Dr. Kynett's suggestion to put aside any spirit of antagonism was received with approval- lie closed by saying, "We bid you God speed, so that it will soon be seen that this is not a schism, but a reinforcement." Sec retary Stearns, of the National Temperance Publication Society al so spoke and conve3ec'i.u cost. • LOST. —Some time between Dec. j and the present time.
