'.'...' . ! r , The meeting was called to order by ' , the : President of the local Young , Women's Christian Association, Mrs. JVC. Abbott, promptly, at the aour , v announced and in a few well chosen words she stated the object of the meeting and' introduced -the first speaker of the evening, Mr,' P. A. '. Tompkins. The presiding vofflcer then intro - duced Miss Anna D. Casler, who spoke ' at some length ef the Y. W. C. A. " work In general, the past and, present work of the association in Its limited quarters, and of i the future associa tion that Charlotte will have when -' the ideals and dreams of those in -' . charge finally become reality. Miss Casler was listened to with the closest attention and many for the first time learned the wonderful possibilities of tnls great work n behalf of the young women. Miss Casler began her address by ' i eaying mat sne naa received wimin - a day or so a post card from Ceylon, with a picture of the Kandy, Ceylon, Y. W. u A. One might make a col lection of these cards and gain some Idea of the world wide movement of the association. There are IS nation al organizations in the world. MIh Ph1ip thon aava her BnAlAnrA aome idea of the great Interest shown In this work by women who are wide- ly known, not alone for their wealth and social, position but equally well for their largeness of heart and broad sympathy. Among others she names Miss Morley, daughter of John Mor ley historian and Member of Parlia ment of England, Miss Dodge, of New York,, who is the head of the Amer ican movement and Miss Helen Gould who also Is a leader in the work of the association In New York. There are 469 college associations In this country with 40,000 members, and 147 city associations with 40,000 girls in night classes alone. Miss Casler then gave her ideal of a Y. W. C. A. It is a center for the development -of all interests of women. It is not a charity but a broad philanthropy which needs a good endowment. An association is not a building nor er boarding home. In many cities the home Is in an entirely different build ing from the association proper. The association is a bringing to gether for co-operation of the various types prominent In tN rity f-r mu tual benefit. The Idea! association has classes as needs come, n inn gym nasium classes and baths, lunch rooms and rest rooms, social gatherings, Bi ble classes, and vesper services. iThe ideal association considers young women away from home and also considers young women at home and meets the needs of each. It con siders th' Interest nf nmnlnmn mnA , employees. If a young woman comes to the rest room at noontime with a headache from the trials of a hard morning's work she Is met by one of tne secretaries who not only has a word o fcheer but also provides for her certain simple remedies from the medicine chest. In the Ideal associa tion ther Is library and boarding de partment There ..are secretaries and committees of yonng women directed by them who work for the love of Jesus Christ and young women. This Ideal association has of course branches In various parts of the cities It has the factory club for the aid o fthe young girl at work long hours under adverse surroundings. The association has become the ally . of the business man and the assistant of the minister, the friend of every young woman In the city. All of the foregoing is done at no great expense. The youg girls pay the buik of the ex panses thesmeslves. This is. shown by the fact tha tthe associations are from f(i to 0 per cent self-supporting. Mis Casler then went on to show the work of the local Young Woman's . Christian Association. She spoke of the boarding department and the be ginnings of the physical work under (Teat difficulties. Many of the young ladles having to go as much as two miles to the special physical culture classes which are held at the Presby terian College. She spoke of the vesp er services, of the outings and the so cial gatherings and showed conclu sively that the work In Charlotte was Jelng properly and energetically con ducted and at the same time under great difficulties. Miss Casler ended her address by , telling soma of the answers given by members to the question, "What la a Young Women's Christian Assocla- . tlonr fit la a plaoa to have a good tlroe.M . . It Is a place to find a friend." "It la a piace to learn te serve." "It Is a place where I found Jesus Christ" ft Tha object of the Young Women's Christian Association Is the unllft of tha young women of Charlotte physl , caiiy, iDieuectuauy, socially and above all spiritually.. a v;v h . Miss Casler was mostv convincing ; In tha presentation of her chosen life : work and won all hearts to herself ; personally and to her great work.

In this chapter are recorded . thres parables; 1 first, the lost sheen; second, the . lost coin; third, the prodigal - son. ' Mr. HolcOmb stated In the. beginning o his discourse that it he could Impress his congregation with the importance of Ihls-thought of the toss which Jesus feels in the lost con dition of ..any . soul it would be of great value to vry one present and would make ; them more active, in .Christian workmore anxious to i be winners of souls 'Of the unsaved.' ? . ... He spoke of the anxiety of the shep herd or the ono hundred sheep-when he found that on was missing from the fold, which led him .to leave. the ninety and nine that were safe and encounter any . danger in order to find the one that was lost, in order to bring It again to the fold. vi-';.. ? 'li: In the same way he spoke of the an xiety of the woman , who. had ten pieces of silver and lost one-en anxiety which led her to search everywhere In her house until she had found the one piece that was lost- The thought . which- the evangelist em- Eiaslied most in both parables was the y experienced In the heart of the shep-i-rd and the woman wheh the lost sheep and lost coin were found. Speaking of the parable of the prodi gal son he showed now much the father gave the son before his going away, of his love which followed the son in his wandering and sin, and of his welcome when In his destitute condition he came home. . " The evangelist made reference to the i. umber of sinners and backslidden Christians who had made the resolve In this meeting to live Christian lives. In speaking of this he said that for a back slider to come back to Christ gives Him ss much Joy as for a sinner to come to Him for the first time. He begged his hearers not to cause the Saviour to feel longer the sense of tosf over their lost condition. Mr. Holcomb spoke with force an! earnestness, and there were many seri ous persons among the unsaved In the congregation. He pleaded earnestly with them to decide for God, and several went forward for prayer. SALVADOR WITH HONDURAS. Has. Openly Allied Herself In War s With .Nicaragua.

The 8outh Carolinians of Vloyr Tork gave their first annual dinner tat the Waldorf Astoria', to-night 1 with former Secre tary of the Treasury Leslie M.

President Wilson had for his sub ject, "South CaroUna's most 'famous statesman, John C. Calhoun," ..and after paying tribute to him, Mr. Wil son discussed national matters. He said in part: ' ' ' , 1 'It 1s Interesting to note how Often progress is pushed to such a speed and urged by such means that the peace of the country Is . threatened, its Interests thrown into discord. Our trouble at the present moment Is that tariffs and all special means of stimulation have been pushed too far . ' and too fast, to the destruction of balance '' and harmony in the social and economic development of the country. We are obliged to acknowledge that we have lost our heads in our (pursuit oi wealth and material power, a ' ERROR OF SELF DISTRUST. "A moment of self-distrust, or rather distrust of each other, has come upon us. We are disconcerted and demoral ized, beyond measure disgusted, and therefore sadly in need of such coun sel as shall seek to restore old bal ances and harmonies and moderations of action. "Having lost wise self-possession in our too eager progress we are in dang er of losing It in our efforts to re form. 1 - "We have stimulated material pro gress In every way that we could think of. The chief instrument of stimulation has been the tariff. By this means it was sought to give to every sort of organized industry some special protection of law. Until re cent years the momentum thus Induc ed seemed to threaten nothing. "But at last everything moved with a rush, by leaps and bounds. Upon colossal success followed colossal or ganization. A spirit of madness for success upon a great scale seized upon those who actually conducted the great businesses and knew how to make them pay; madness for money seized upon those who undertook their manipulation. "We have by our own forgetfulness of the true principles of legislation created classes and put colossal ln lnterest at clash with one another. These changes of our own blind con triving have carried us so far that we' are actually Invited to alter the whole plan of our constitutional system to set matters right. We are Invited to push government Into every experi mental function In order to correct the vagaries of development which we fostered but did not understand. A CLEAR HEAD NEEDED. "It will require a steady hand and a clear head to go to the root of the disease, but to the root we should go. It is evident, in the first place that we. ought not to punish prosperous men for having accumulated the wealth we Invited them to accumulate. I believe In Income and Inheritance taxes as means for raising revenue. But I do not believe In such taxes, or In any taxes, as a mere means of pen alizing he rich, whom we have Invit ed to get their wealth under the fos terage of the government. The root of inequality is not In wealth, but the special favors granted by such legis lation as the extravagant tariff laws which have been put upon our stat ute books since the war begau be tween the States. "What we chiefly need Is a genuine purpose of reform, and sufficient sel possessbDn to undertake It. The gen uine purpose cannot come from friends and beneficiaries of the legis lation of fosterage and privileges; it must come from those who are not Its frlneds, but Its convinced and earn est opponents. We must get over our hysteria. 'The mere reform of the tarff Is not sufficient, It Is not even an Intelligent programme. The tariff Is by no means the whole root of the difficulty, and Is slow to change. Every correction must be a process of adjustment, or pru dent re-arrangement. Moreover we must be careful to deal frankly and without favor with class privilege of all kinds. ANOTHER FORMIDABLE ENEMY. "There is another as formidable an enemy to equality and freedom-of op portunity, and that Is the class form ed by the labor organisations and leaders of the country, representing only a small minority of the laboring men of the country, quite as monopo llstlo in spirit as the capitalist, and quite as apt to corrupt and ruin our Industries by their monopoly. If we are to restore the purity of our law and the freedom of our life we must see to It In all moderation and In all fairness that no class whatever Is given artificial privileges or advan tages, that our own llf, free again of fear, or facor, from whatever quarter. for whatever class. What we need is not a square deal, hut no deal at all an old fashioned equality and har mony or conditions a purged bust nets and a purged law." Mr. Shaw, in 1 responding to the toast "Ths United States," took oc casien to refer to tha railroad sttua tlon, saying among other things: "Men nav oeen actually scared Into serious Illness simply ; by being told tnai mey wok. sick, and Instances sre more numerous still where radical cures have been affected by produc ing an opposite mental condition.

Mechanics' , Perpetual Building and Loan Association Holds Annual Meeting President WlttkowsKy's Fine ReportOld Officers Re-electedDirectors Meet. The annual meeting of the stock holders and directors of the Mechanics Perperual Building and Loan Associa tion was held Inc. the office on North Tryon street last night. The session was called to order by President S. Wlttkowsky who served as chairman. Mr. George stepnens acted as secre tary. Immediately after convention President Wlttkowsky submitted nis annual report So gratifying was It, to the stockholders and so apprecia tive were they of the services of Pres ident Wlttkowsky that a rising vote of thanks was tendered him. Presi dent Wlttkowsky was the recipient of man.v congratulations on the strength of his report It was a most excel lent one. Immediately after the meet ing of the stockholders the board of directors went Into session. The per sonnel of the' board Is as follows: Messrs. 8. Wlttkowsky, R. H. Jordan. A. E. McCausland, J. H. Wearn, A. C. Summerville, C. Valaer, H. G. Link, W. C. Wilkinson, W. W. Phlfer, A. L. Smith, R. F. Stokes, and R. E. Coch rane. The only business of Interest transacted by the directors was the election of officers for the coming year. The following named were unani mously chosen: Mr. S. Wlttkowsky, president; R. H. Jordan, vice presi dent and R. E. Cochrane, secretary and treasurer. President Wittkowsky's report fol lows: "Stockholders of the Mechanics' Perpetual Building and Ixian Associa tion, Gentlemen: On this the twenty-fourth anni versary of the organization of the Me chanics Perpetual Building and Loan Association, we your officers, and you the stockholders, have much occasion to mutual felicitation upon the pro gress and eminence attained by this institution, and look back with pride and satisfaction upon the work that hag prospered In our hands. I question whether In the annals of the 6,800 building and loan asso ciations In the United States, there are a dozen associations, that can show greater success, or go before the public with cleaner hands and con sciences than do we. "During the twenty-four years of the existence of this Institution, your president and secretary and treas urer, who have held their respective positions during all these years, and your directors, are conscious of not a single move on the 'checker board' of the multifarious transactions, In which they would net differently from what they did. Every act, every move, was mafile singly with a vli of benefiting Impartially all thf sharc- noiaers alike as well as the com munity by all things consistent with business sagacity and the safety of the assets of the Institution. How well we have succeeded I need only point out, that after making 2.700 loans, and handling $4,148,629 of your money, not a cent has been lost or misappropriated. The growth of the Institution Is marvelous, having now in force 18, 600 shares of a par value of S 1 . S 50. 000, which Is ono fifth of the shares In force in the whol-State, and 1100,- ooo more shares than those of the whole State four years ago. when tee State League was formed. It looks now that If. our present Increase In the volume of shares of new series continues, that the amend ment In the charter six years ago, from 10,000 shares to 20,000, will have to be again amended, and If o to 600,000 shares equal to a par value OI SB.UOv.vUv. "Our last serl.s, the fortv-nlnth. were 1701,000, since which time, we paid off a series of $60,000, and the assets to-day are nearly $700,000. "uur last series, the fortv-nlnth. Which went Into existence on March 1st, promises to be the largest In our history, having already reached 2.417 shar.s, and the Indications are, that It will attain before the closing of the books, the record breaking vol ume of $.000 shares of the par value of $100,000. "or details I refer you to toe sec- ret try and treasurer's statement "My friends and fellow stock-hnld- era, I have now served you twenty four yesrs without pay or reward ex cepting such as I receive In the proof of your confidence, and my own con sciousness of having faithfully served my people.
