Dear Sir: Through the kindness of Tyler 11111 and Damascus friends who gave me a graduating present of a trip to Philadelphia, I am attending the ses sions of tho Daptist World Alliance In the Baptist Temple, Broad and Berks streets, of which Dr. Russell 11. Conwell is pastor. On Monday of last week the Northern Baptist convention, a delegated body repre senting the grunt North nnd West, nil i ..ml continued until Sunday milling. Uov. and Mrs. H. D. Minch ni.u (laughters, Miriam and Alice, i.'ii,f with Hie. Our principal. Harry 1 k, tame with us as far as New ' r i k from which place he went to Minllctown. Conn., to attend the on.niencement exercises of Wcsle yiu! I'nivorslty. Mr. Pethick, con tra:. to his original Intention, ex pec i. to return to Damascus for all ot l.er year. We arrhed at Camden, N. J., about live o'clock where we parted with the ladies of the party who vent on to Bridgton that night. We stopped at tile homo of Joseph Jar ile nn Ither Avenue, an old friend ot Mr. Mlnch's. On Thursday and Friday we at t' r.ded all the sessions of the con vention. Thursday morning Dr. Sa.e. superintendent of Education, spoke on the "Dominant Purpose in Cur Work for the Negroes." His Heei li was followed by brief ad-die-i-ed by President A. C. Osborne and President L. G. Barrett. Thtirs d.i afternoon came the election of olP'trn and several missionaries oke on the work being done for o n- Spanish Speaking Neighbors. A rntlve-horn Porto Rican and a nut he-bom Cuban addressed the inuli'iKO. in the evening there were two line addresses, one on the "Con s'"' ntion and Relnvigoration of Our Country Churches" and tin- other on the Conservation and Captaincy of O .r Forces in the Great Cities" by l)r. H. G. Beeman, Iowa, and Dr. C. H Eaton, New i'ork. Friday was chiefly devoted to the missionaries. The general business of tl.u Ai.-.ti-n an Baptist Foreign Missionary society was attended to in the morning, the afternoon being cunrttimed by brief addresses by for ngn missionaries of both sexes. An interesting feiiture was a short ad dress by a Burnese girl, who then sans a song that her father had com posed. One minister said that the total outlay in mission work in Bur i '.in was fully Instilled if it produced 1 it tills one girl. Friday evening, . tor the addresses of the program, i,', new appointees to foreign lands tipre introduced, and each one told 1 u his attention had been drawn t the foreign missionary work. Having attended two days' full n-ssions we were pretty tired and we .-:.iyed home Saturday. In the niter noon. Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Minch and my M'!i' went to Fairmount Park to see a Polo game. On Sunday evening the Northern H.iptist convention adjourned. Monday afternoon the Baptist World Alliance was called to order by tho President, Dr. John Clifford, of London, England, who led the devotional exercises. Then followed addresses of welcome and responses. Dr. Russell H, Conwell presided. Among the addresses of welcome was a welcome to the city by Hon. John E. Reyburn, Mayor of Phila delphia. Great enthusiasm was shown by the audience throughout the session. Monday evening was tke roll call of the Nations. One of cacii delegation made a three-minute speei h In reply.i which was followed by a hymn by the whole delegation in their own language. Tuesday morning Dr. Clifford as president made an address which the audience cheered with deafening ap plause. Handkerchiefs were waved by nearly every member of the con gregation and Dr. Clifford had to rise to thank the audience. He said with tears in his eyes that he now saw the reason the Americans did so many truly great things. His wonderful address was followed by two talks on tho "Suliiciency of the Gospel: first, "For the Salvation of tlie Individual," and secondly, "For tne Salvation of Society." Tuesday afternoon there was a l. ass meeting in the interest of oung People's Work. The business i:.iiti!i'? of tho Baptist Young Peo p.e's lTnion of America was held at ." o'clock In the Memorial Baptist t lun ch, Broad and Master streets. Tuesday evening the special chair man was E. Y. .Mullen, Kentucky. The addresses of tho evening were mi "Vital Experience of God." J. Moffatt of England, spoke on the subject "No Authoritative Creed," ii nd A. T. Robertson, Kentucky, spoke on the "Spiritual Interpreta tion of tho Ordinances," which was applauded heartily. Among other things Mr. Robertson spoko of Church Unification." He said that the Baptists would meet any denom ination half way in tho river Jor dan. One of tho greatest actions of tho Northern Baptist convention was tho otlng in of tho denomination of Free Will Baptists Into tho Baptist i hurcli. The former denomination consists of 87,000 communicants who will now bo included in the Baptist tliurch membership. 1 With all respect to The Citizen, its readers, its lost Kick editor, and Solid Ivory Spllvins, I close Yours very truly, ORVILLE A. WELSH. The Citizen will publish In each Issue of the week one of the essays or declamations, which formed part of the Com mencement exercises of tho Honesdale High school for the benefit of those who were unable to be present at the exercises. The following oration was deliver ed by Miss Doherty at the recent high school commencement. Her subject was "Heroines of American History." "On the pages of ancient history, there Is scarcely a line given to the heroic deeds of women, in the an nals of Greece, the wife of a philo sopher has obtained a place, through , many trials, and Rome has slightly lifted the veil from the mother of, the Gracchi. Among the pagans. ! v. u.aen lived In tho lowest degrada tion; the American Indian placed' Lis burden on her shoulders and I walked on with his quiver and his tomahawk; beneath the burning i skies of Africa she crouches before her judges, waiting, yes, longing for ; death; in India she plunged her f e- ( male infants into the Ganges that they might escape her bitter lot. Christianity has changed the scene; the sway of brute fon e has softened; she Is now honored and respected; caring for the wounded and dying; entering unrebuked tho fields of science and literature, add ing a new volume to the history of the world. "Joan of Arc" and "the dark-eyed maid of Saragoss.i" shall j in the future be the chivalrie wan h . words of France and Snain. but not ! less worthv of record are the names nf nmnv American heroines, who bv I their noble lives and deeds have won I the hearts of their countrymen. "We find a prophecy of what American women were to be in the i bravp Indian maiden, Pocahontas, who threw herself upon the con demned Smith, exclaiming: 1 am daughter of the King, and I claim the Indian right." Her request be-j mg granted, annul returned to tne little colony unharmed. Later when the white men were thieatened with famine she carried corn to them each day. carefully guarding the germ or a mighty nation. "The germ struggled and grew; others were planted beside it and in a few years demanded the rights giv en to other Englishmen. When they declared themselves Independent they needed a new flag. Again a woman's wit was exemplified in Petsy Ros who in her humble home In Philadelphia designed that beauti ful emblem of freedom which has ever since floated over our land hon ored by eery nation. "Contemporary with the mother of our flag were Mary and Martha Washington, the mother and wife ot our Wctorious first chief, the one baring moulded the character of a I noted hero, littlng him to bee ome tho I father of a great republic, the other I having accompanied him through all ' the trials and hardships of his late lite, presiding with unsurpassable dignity, as the matron of a nation. During these same years Abigail Adams, an Aspasia of the revolution, was moulding the character of her -on. training him to devote his life lj ills country. Silently urging him on she prayed for wisdom to guide him to victory and one is led to ask whether with such a mother, John Quincy Adams could help becoming . noble-minded man; whether lie (ould help fitting himself to fill the highest otiice in the gift of his coun try. We are also indebted to Dolly Madison, for our most precious docu ment. When the British destroyed the capital at Washington she broke the glass case containing the declar ation of Independence and fled from the building. In times of war American women have ever been present on the battle fields and in the prisons; have pene trated the lines of the enemy on dangerous missions, showing how near to their hearts was the honor of their country. "During the Revolution, at the time General Green retreated before Lord Rawden from "Ninety-Six," he was desirous of sending a message to General Sumter then on the Santee, to take a position in front of the enemy who were retreating toward Orangeburg, but no one seemed will ing to undertake so hazardous a journey, the scouts of the enemy be ing stationed all around them. At length Emily Gelger, oighteen years of age, volunteered her services. Tho delighted general communicated the contents of the letter to her, tearing she might lose it on the way. While going through swampy woods she was arrested by a band of Tories and confined in a room of a nearby house until a woman conld be brought to search her person. When lett alone she ate tho letter piece by piece, so when the matron made the search nothing was found and she was allowed to continue her journey. In a short time she readied the American camp, delivered the verbal message to General Sumter who soon joined the main army at Orangeburg. When the British army held pos session of Philadelphia, tho Adjutant General obtained a room for private conference In the homo of Lydia Darrak, a member of tho Society of Friends. One evening when tho family had been ordered to retire early she became suspicious and listened at the keyhole, learning that the British troops wore to march out on a certain evening and attack Washington's army then stationed at Whlto Marsh. The next morning she Informed her family that she would go to Frankfort for flour. She easily secured a pass through tho British lines from General Howe and leaving her order at tho mill hasten ed toward the American lines. Quickly delivering her message she returned with tho flour and anxious ly awaited tho result. The British troops marched out as ordered but, much to their surprise, found Wash ington's cannon mounted and his troops prepared to recolvo them. Often were American women pres ent on tho battlefield, carrying water to tho soldiers, bearing tho wounded from the Held, even taking their places In the light.

May Retain Clerkship The following from tho Scranton Tribune-Republican will be of Inter est to Mr. Searle's many friends in Wayne county: Things have so shaped themselves in tho past two months, that It is not certain now that E. ft. W. Scarlo will leave tho office of Feder al court clerk to mako placo for a successor to bp named by Judgo C. B. Witmer, Who took Judgo R. W. Archbald's placo, when Judgo Arch bald ascended to tho United States Court of Commerce. County Con troller E. A.

Judge Witmer, it is said wished to hae the appointing of his own clerk, but is not assorting him self to this end, apparently satisfied to let affairs drift until later in the summer, Controller Jones was practically assured of the appointment when changes were ma'do in Federal court ; lncldent t0 the resignation of Judge i Arehbald and tho elevation of Mr witmer to succeed him. The ap nointment of a clerk would hav , ueen maiie Wien the appointments wero announced.

Judge Arehbald, it has said, has been busy in an eftort to have Clerk Searlo retained perman ently.
