The universal Postal Congress w 11 be asked to adopt a uaiversal stamp. A uaiversal stamp may be all right, bat what is really needed is a self licking stamp. As there are several millionaire prospective candidates for the U. S. Senatorship from Oaio, the pros pects are that Mark Hanaa will have something of his size to tackle. The question now is, is it the Dingley-Joaes bill: or the Jones Dingley bill?'

A St. Louis man has patented an electric ear drum which he claims makes the deaf one's ear as good as new.

' TJnloo. , , The second day 'a session of tbe South ern Baptist Convention began at 9 80 i yesterday morning. Oa invitation Rev. i C T. Walker, D, D. (a coloied 'minister from Augusta, Ga), ' approached the stand and addressed the conveution. He said that in listening on the preceding afternoon to tbe report on foreign' mis lions, the thought had struck him, why do not the white brethren do something for the negro heathen at home? The congregation tang "Blest be tbe Tie that Binds," after which the conven tion was" led in prayer by Rev. Dr. A. E. 0en. of Virginia. . - ; V -f The order of business was tbe bearing' of representatives on the outlook Jor home missions in each of the States. Vice President J. P. Eagle, of Arkansas, presided. ; : FLORIDA. j ; i Rev. S. M. Provence spoke about the destitution in the State of Florida, and described vast tracts of country there where the gospel was never heard, i ? LOUISIANA. ? He was followed by Rev. E. D. Wart who said he didn't know Florida and Louisiana came so close together unless it was because they were so much alike. Florida could beat Louisiana raising oranges, but when it came to raising Cam Louisiana took the lead. Louis tana bad suffered greatlv from the de structive floods; and her sister States ought to come to her relief. 1 TEXAS. 1 Rev. J. B. Gambrell, having been esk- ed tc talk at night oa home missions in Texas, did not join in the discussion. Before the next State was heard from the hymn Nearer My God to Thes, was sung and the convention was led in praver br Rev. Dr. T. P. Bell." I Rev. Dr.W E Hatcher arose to make aveibal correction in one of the para graphs of Dr. Wm. H. Whitsitt'a com munication to the Board ot Trustees, The correction was the change of tne word "its" in paragraph 3, to ' Gjd's," making the phrase read "to God's Com mands," instead of "to its" commands.' ARKANSAS. Ex-Gov. J. P. Eagle spoke of the home mission 'wotk in hit State. For fifteen years the Baptists of the State had been working in co-opsration with. the Home Mission Board and the ad vanced position now occupied in home mission work could not have been reached but for this co-operation. There were still, however, many places need ing help. J WEST ARKANSAS AND INDIAN TERRIi- TORY. Rev, L. W. Wright, a man who trav elled fire days to get t the convention, addressed it on the needs of the Iadian Territory and Western Arkansas. While there was more or less of destitution and a very crying need of school facilities, the Iadian Territory ranked along with the gieat State of Texas as to contribu tions to various objects. ; Rev. Mr. Manners, an independent Baptist, spoke about his own work in the Territory. MISSISSIPPI. The situation in this State was de scribed by Rev. Dr. A. V. Rowe, who taid that for twenty-three years he had been wrestling with the problem of the development of the Master's cause in Mississippi. At the conclusion of his remarks, the congregation joined in singing, "Oa, for a Closer , Walk with God." KENTUCKY. Rev. Dr. J. N. Prestridge,. of the mountain section of Kentucky, next addressed the body. He made a special plea for the mountaineers who, be said. according to Dr. John Hall, were tbe purest specimens of the old Anglo- Saxon type. For the people of WISTERN NORTH CAROLINA Rev. Dr. j. F. Felix, of sheville, spoke. ' He said that that pm of the State was one place where there were actually Baptist churches a plenty. NEGRO WORK. Rev. J. E. Wnite spoke on the results of co-operation wtth the American Bap tist Edncational Society in work among the negroes. North Carolina was the first to take np the co-operative plan. The venture had been most successful. Mr. White grew eloquent In bis plea for the negro, and when at the close of his remarks be said that tbe time bad come when a good deal of ouf prejudice had to belaid aside, there was an audible ex pression of approval from the delegates. Mr. Wm. Eilyson spoke of the benefi cent results cf co-operation with the Northern brethren in Virginia. ! Rev. Dr. Seamore, of the American Baptist Educational Society, read a tele gram, announcing improvement in the condition of the secretary of the society. Dr. A. L. Morehouse, whose death would not have been a matter of great surprise. Dr. T. S. Dunaway, of Virginia; led in a prayer oi thanksgiving. Dr. Henry McDonald, of Atlanta, the President of the Home Mission Board, spoke for the remainder of the morning session. He called special attention to the need of mission work in the cities. tbe need of more schools, and tbe im portance of teaching, every, church the grace of growing. He was deeply grati fied that the Home Mission Board had come no to the convention free ffom debt. , U , Tae committee appointed to prepare nomination, to fill vacancies in the Board of Tratteet of the TheologleaJ Seminary,! reported three names from each of tbe Stales where the vacancies existed. The report wss adopted and referred to the Board ot Trustees. After several announcements the con ventlon adjourned. - The - following oaSaed committees were announced by the: secretary: Order of Business, Time ani Placs of Next Meeting. EaroUmeat, Nominations, Re port of -Committee on Sunday School Board,1 Report of Vice Presidents of tbe -j Board. Suggestions of the B jard as to Future ? Work, Treasurer's Report, ; Woman's Work, Report of Foreign Mission Board, Papal Fields, Pagan Fields, Finances, Foreign Mission Board, and Report of Sunday School ; Board. " "' AFTERNOON SESSION. Tbe convention re-assembled at 3.80 p.m. The report ol the committee on Report of the Fcreiga Miss'on Board was read by Dr. A. P. Montague, of Columbian University. It commended warmly the report ol tbe Sunday School Board, and was spoken to first by ex Gov. W. J, Northern, of Georgia. He said that he had been opposed to tne establishment of the Sunday school Board, but from a business standpoint it had been most successful. He read from tbe report -to support hit state ment. He referred to the great re sponsibility in training the child aright. Rev. Dr. Robertson almost sounded a note of discord in criticising tbe ac tion of tbe Sunday School Board in plac ing its imprint upon Bibles and Testa ments, saying that Bibles should be published by one great society. Bat Dr. William E. Hatcher, of Virginia, smoothed matters over with one of his inimitable humorous speeches. Dr. J. B Gambrell, of Texas, also spoke in a humorous strain. He said that Biptistsare marvellously liberal in receiving and one objection to the Sun day School Board was that it corrupted the morals of the Baptis'.s by giving them so much, Dr. J. C. H:den dwelt upon the busi ness features of tbe Boaid. It owned its own bouse something to be . very proud of. Mr. N. B. Broughton, the well known layman and Sunday school worker, or North Carolina, quoted statistics to show that Baptists are not doing as much as they might in Sunday school wo.k. Among other things, be said that 90 per cent, of the churches have memberships larger than their Sunday school memberships. He bad noticed that in all the prayers that had gone up from tbe convention, not one blessing had been called down upon the Sunday school teacher. Dr. J.F. Felix, of Abbeville, also spoke to the report, and referred most feeling ly to the faithful and efficient services of the Secretary of tbe Boaid, Dr. I. M. Frost, who spoke next. Synoptic reports are almost always un juit to speakers, and would bj particu larly in this icstacce. In simple, yet infinitely tender words, Dr. Frost toldof his relations to the Board and the con vention. At the conclusion of .his remarks, tbe report was unanimously adopted. EVENING SESSION. The convention assembled at 8 p. m. in a mass meeting in the interest of home missions. The congregation was too large to be comfortably accommo dated, so there was an overflow meeting in the lecture room, conducted by Rev. Dr. L. G. Broughton, of Virginia. It was a pleasant surprise when Vice President Northern announced that one of the speakers ot the evening was an exiled Cuban, Rev. J. B. Cova. now do ing mission work among the Cuban refugees in Tampa, Fia. He is a me dium sized manfwith swarthy Southern complexion. His English has a strong foreign accent, though his grammar is faultless. He said that he counted it a great privilege to appear before so great a body of Baptists, his brethren. He wanted to present to tbem that great field for missionary effort Cuba, now given over to the horrors of a bloody warfare. "The Spanish people are the greatest enemies to our work in Cuba,1 he exclaimed, "but Cuba shall be free in a short time." He depicted in vivid colors tbe desperate condition of the Cuban refugees as they arrived in Florida on every steamer. "There Is not a single heart without a wound, not a single eye without a tear." Dr. J. B. Gambrell, of Texas, speke on "Texas as a Mission Field." He dwelt on the immense size of tbe Em pire State, describing it with several striking illustrations. And then he spoke about the population, composed of Mexicans, Germans and negroes, all of whom present their peculiar problems. Tbe cities, too, in Texas, are growing, and the problem of the city demands solution. - Dr. R. A. Venable, of Mississippi, asked "how are we going to enlist our demonination in the great work of evangelizing the world?" Ths matter of concern is not to much what we are going to do as how we are to get our selves in a condition to do something. At the conclusion of the discussion, a telegram from a committee of the stu dent body at the Theological Seminary was read. It bore the text: "Ephesians, 6th chapter, verses 23 and 21." A resolution was adopted tendering the sympathy of the convention to dele gate T. H. Stout, of Georgia, who since his arrival bas received the sad news of the death of his wife. Rev. W. B, Oliver read the announce ment of services for to-day, after which the convention was adjourned with the benediction pronounced by Prof. F, H. Kerfoot, of Kentucky. Services for to-day are announced in another column. The following programme will be ob served on Monday : . 9 a. m- Miscella neous Business; 9 30 to 10.30, Report on Woman's Work ; 10 80 to 1, Report of Committee on the Work of the Foreign Mission Board. 3 30; Unfinished Report on Foreign Mission Board, and etber unfinished business.

Hope you are well. r Mr. R. H. Ferguson, a prominent citizen of Wyhe'a Millr, S. C, is attend ing the Convention, accompanied by his wife. j Tbe Star enjoyed very much a visit last night from Mr. N. B. Brough ton, a delegate to the convention, and one of North Carolina's leading citizens. : "Fine looking body of men" is the universal comment on the personal ap pearance of the delegates, Bat this doesn't include tbe ladies; and5 the Star supplies the omission by saying they are more beautiful than the Spring flowers. Mr. Geo. Cooper requests the dele gates from Virginia, present at the con vention, to meet in the upper room of tbe Suaday school baiiding of the First Baptist Church on Monday at the close of the morning session of the conven tion, There are lots of good musicians among the delegates and they all seem very desirous of hearing our peerless Second Regiment Band. Now, Presi dent Monroe.entertain the delegates with a concert and you will add fresh laurels to yourself and the Band. Several of the delegates have ex pressed a great desire to be able to visit the .old Nantucket and the Star ven tures the suggestion to Commander Morton that she be docked on this side in order to enable our visitors to view this relic of the "late unpleasantness."
