TEMPERANCE.

TWO MEETINGS HELD TO D18UU88 THIS MOMEHTpUB QUESTION.

The Young People at the First (Jhurch and .The Older Citizens at Oenter.

There seems to be a great effort being made in this oity in the direction of temperance work, end the subject, is being fully discussed, tending to show that "wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging." The work has received a new impetus since several applications for liquor licenses have been rejected, and it is given out that every application for a license is to be contested. While this iB going on, however, it ia also proposed to see that laws now on the books are enforced, and that* new city ordinances are passed to help break the evil influence of saloons. To discuss these things and to look over the general outlook in this city, was the object of the two meetings held last night.

FIRST l'ltESUYTEHIAN OHURCII. The young people's societies of the different churches held a union meeting at the First Presbyterian church last evening. The main auditorium

thought that there need be

WHS

well filled and the meeting 'Was presided over by Mr. Sonne. Short addresses were mads by Mr. Buchanan, Ouiar pox, Claude Travis, Harry Mount, Mr. Thompson (Christian church), and Charley Ross. The object of the meet ing was to discuss the intemperance questi'-n of this city, and the genoral sentiment was for any measure that will lessen the influence of the liquor traffic: upon the community. One speaker spoke of the relationship of the citizens to the saloons, showing that even saloon men h:ul inlluence over the church mem ber to such an extent that it protects him io his business. While our laws protect the saloon keeper in his business yet it lays down certain conditions for regnlating the business, and a great good can be done in seeing that the law is enforced. If the law is violated, Bee that the penalty is meted out to the offenders and then prevent the regrant. ing of a license to the law violators. The speakers believed in Btriotly adhering to the luw as in this way great good can be accomplished. In regard to the proposed new scroen ordinance, a speaker thought that this would be an excellent thing because it would protect the body, sonl, home and family of the intemperate man. It was thought that it was hardly possible that with the fall interior of a saloon exposed to the public view that men and boys would congregate and drink there as they do now. "The voters will make laws to be enforced against saloons, and so soon as the women are permitted to vote the saloons are doomed!'' exclaimed one speaker, and his remarks were well received by the audience. One speaker had made tour of our city saloons, from the fashionable wine house to the most infamous salooh, nnd told of the certain and gradual downfall of every drinker. The last speaker appeajed to the youag ladies to require of the young men the same character as the young men demand of the youg ladies. He knew that our beet young ladies would keep company with young men whom they knew to be dissipated and immoral yet there is not a young man who would go with a young lady who was dissipated and immoral. The young ladies should require of the young men the same character that is required of them, and thus put a restraint npon the present condition of affairs. "The young men," the speaker said, "are bound to seek the company of the young ladies, just as sure as water runs down hill," nnd

alarm

that the young men would stop associating with the yonng ladies on acoount of any such requirements.

CHURCn.

Probably because there was not sufficient notice the attendance at the Center church temperance meeting was not large. There weie, however, at least sixty voters present and a large number of ladies. Rev. R. S. Inglis, President of the Reform Association, opened with prayei and a statement of the object of the meeting, which was to discuss temperance in general and the proposed screen ordinance in particular. T. E. Ballard spoke first, giving the main points of the ordinanoe. He was positive that it was constitutional and would be so held by any fair oourt. He emphasized the fact that screenless saloons would keep many a boy from taking his first "drink and, he added: "It is a noble thing to reclaim a drunkard, but how mnch better to prevent a person from becoming one."

Rev. W. G. Howe made a forcible, convincing address. He said that one

tlie

of the first things he did after coming here was the assist in raising money for the relief of the poor. On a conservative estimate at least $110,000 were spent every year in Crawfordsville for intoxicating liquors. Now if only a tithe of that mnch could be secured for the poor it would be ample relief for them. He also told of a friend of his who had sent his son to Wabash college. The boy learned to dri.i* and had to be brought home. The father not only refused to send him back but will not send hie younger son to Wabash college. Thus the college suffers from unrestricted saloons. He was perfectly willing for the Baloon keepers to have all the rights guaranteed them by law and as long as the better element lay supinely on its back he ooald hardly jjlame them for taking all the advantages they could.

President Burroughs Bpoke briefly but very much to the point. He said the people could have what they wanted if they went about it in the right way and had no doubt about the paesage the screen ordinance if it was properly presented. He urged that all good people unite in the movement and hoped that the Cat hoi io priest bad been invited to co-operate.

Dr. Cunningham thought this was a critical period in the reform movement and that the thing should be pushed hard from now on until the next council meeting. Ho looked toward to a time when our city officials should be pledged to the moral and financial welfare of the city, without regard to party.

Other speakers were, Mr. McCoy, S A R. Beach, Dr. Leech, T. H. liistinc and David Harter. T. E. Ballard sug geeted that three petitions be prepared, one for voters, one for tho women and another for the young folks. Mr. Inglif said the ordinance had been examineo by Bullard'& Billiard, Kennedy & Ken nedy and Crane & Anderson so that when presented to the council it would be snre to stand the tests of the courts. Rev. W. G. Howe moved that the reBolu tion favoring the passage of the ordinance be paosod. When the president asked those in favor of it to rise all but four stood up. Among those who stood was John R. Courtney, who oocupied a prominent pew and was an interested listener to all the proceedings. In contrast there was a Presbyterian minister directly behind Mr. Courtney who failed to vote, not however, because he is opposed to temperance but because lie does not favor the ordinance. Mr. Courtney remarked this morning that if the people kept on this way and were determined to do it they could close every saloon in Crawfordsyille. A committee has been appointed to prepare and circulate the petitions, composed of T. E. Ballard, O. M. Gregg, Henry Hostetter, Rev. W. G. Howe and Miss Minnie McKnight.

Otytpary.

Emily Amelia Enoch, wife of John M. Hatton, was born Oct. 10, 1855, and died September 14, 1893, aged 37 years, 11 months and 4 days. She was married Sept. 23, 1875, which union was blessed with three children, two of whom— Mabel and Floyd—are still living, and with their father are left to mourn the loss of a dear mother and companion. Mrs. Hutton was a member of the Christian church, having united with the church six years ago, under the ministration of Dr. Kuhri, now of Tipton, Ind. She was a devout Christian, a fond mother, a faithful

awife

and a

warm-hearted friend and neighbor. The funeral took place from Young's Chapel, Sept. 17, conducted by Rev. Shuey, and was largely attended. Interment at Oak Hill." .***

Didn't Enow It Was Loaded. Yesterday morning while the dew was on the grass and the sturdy sohool boy was on bis way to schopl Charles Shelley, who lives two and one-half miles south ot New Roes, took down a 38 calibre horse pistol and started to go through the usual morning exercise, viz: breaking day pigeons a la Buffalo BUI, but the gun wouldn't work and in ifixing it it did go off to the astonishment ot the dear boy. The ball passed through his knee and emerged from the calf and lodged in the window facing where it remains to tell the tale. Dr. jKing went over and made him as comfortable as possible, and hereafter when jhe goes out for exeroise he will examine the pistol from the background.

FUNERAL OF A MONKEY.

Butts City KrHUKrlist Delivers an Oratlon Over HI* Body. I A monkey named Jocko, which was quite a character In the business cen-1 tre of Butte City, died the other day and Rev. Mr. Rounder, who has a tab- I ernacle there, thought him worthy of a funeral oration. So the little body I was placed in a casket and carried solemnly out to the place of worship. Rev. Mr. Rounder mounted the platform and spoke, as follows, according to the Anaconda Standard: "God Almighty gave mankind ten commandments to show him how to live right. Jocko was never given any commandments., yet Jocko in his own way managed to average up pretty well with tho general run of mankind even without any commandments. When Moses brought the ten commandments down from tho mountain there was one commandment which said: 'Thou shalt not swear.' Yet, judging from what one hears at any time up and down tho street, swearing with the general of mankind has come to be considered a manly accomplishment, and the most fantastic swearer is the most popular man. "Mankind was. commanded: 'Thou shalt not kill,' yet every year murder becomes more frequent. Then thciv is another commandment which mankind has revised so as to require only that women shall obey it. In these Jin de siecle (lays the ofTonse is pronounced to bo no sin so far as man is concerned. 'Thou shalt not covet' was another command given to man. This doen not apply to any who might desire that pack of cards should be composed of fifty-two kings and queens. "God did not help Jocko along by giving him any commands, so he did not know how to do right, but IK seemed to do better than most pcopliyou meet. 1 must admit that Jocko used to steal whenever he got a chance, but he was never told by anybody not to steal, and with all his stealing he never took any more thai' he wanted for his own use. lie never robbed widows and orphans, and he died with nothing on earth but the hair on his back. "Jocko never bothered his head about whether Fred Ritchie's monkey was a heretic or not. Not knowing himself whether he was orthodox or not, he never wasted any time in trying to make everybody else believe as he did, except when he was after nuts, lie made no pretensions to religion and he was no hypocrite. Jocko was not exactly civilized, but he never had to take the Kcelcy cure he never smoked cigarettes, ho never chewed tobacco. Jocko ncverjiad a Bible to guide him, but he never forgot a friend and he never betrayed a friend. "His worst fault was that he was a natural born thief, but he was born that way. lie was never told by his Creator not to steal, and if there is a

Heaven for monkeys I think Jooko is going to be close up to tho throne with a never-failing' supply of nuts and lettuce, and enough ink to swim in."

NEW USE FOR CATS.

Hflr* Is a Man Who Extracts Electricity to Kan a Factory. "I had a large cork and bung factory In Orand avenue, and I needed power to run my machinery," writes a Milwaukeean in Harper's Weekly. "You know, of course, that there is an im mense amount of stored up electricity In a cat. The problem for inventors has been to invent a way to extract it profitably. In the rear of my factory I constructed a one-story circular building, some sixty fact in diameter. On the floor of this I coiled a glass pipe six inches in diameter. Tho first coil ran around the outside of the room, the coils gradually growing smaller, till at last, in tho center, it was no larg-er than a tabli- It gave me something like a mile of pipe. The top and sides of this pipe were lined with rather stiff hair brushes, the bristles being a little more than an inch in length. "At that time Milwaulteo was overrun with cats. It was impossible to sleep nights. I put a noticc in tho paper that I would pay ten cents a dozen for priine cats, delivered at my factory. I got sixty dozen the first day and stored them in the basement of the power-house. The motor operated thus: Placing in the outer end of the glass pipe an Imitation rat made of rubber and propelled by a small interior storage battery, I would then adjust a cat iimmediately behind it. The rubber rat would start off at a terrific rate—it was made to go through the mile of ti:bintr in from two to throe minutes—anil tho cat,of course, followed furiously, thinking- to catch the supposed animal throughout the entire distance. Gent-lcmc:i. it was exciting to watch a healthy, active cat whip about those Bplrals, with the mechanical rat about afoot ahead and going like a cannon ball. The cat's back and sides rubbed against the brushes and her electricity was thus extracted. With a storage battery, and by sending a cat through every five minute generated enough electricity to operate my entire plant, light my factory uud sell power to run neighboring passenger elevators and Bmall machinery. It also took the yowl out of the eats and gradually the city became quiet. At the end of a week a cat could be caught and used again."

A Novel Swindle*

A novel kind of swindle was prao* ticed in a German town the other day. A man struggling along under a heavy burden suddenly stumbled and crashed through a plate glass store window. The proprietor of the store demanded payment. The porter said he had no money. I'assers-by advised that he be searched. A thousand mark note was found on him, which, he said, belonged to his employer. The storekeeper, however, deducted one hundred marks for the value of his window and handed nine hundred marks change to the porter, who went'away swearing and protesting. A little later the storekeeper discovered the thousand mark note was spurious.
