The Citizens’ Union women and their friends were not up in their parts yesterday. They applauded when they should have kept quiet, and they kept quiot when they should have kicked up the biggest kind of a rumpus, they howled themselves hoarse over Henry George, neglected to hiss at Tammany, and they didn’t remember to go Into a perfect frenzy at every reference, however remote, to Seth Low r . Every now and then some speaker would forget his lines and say Tracy when he meant Low, or Low when ho meant Tracy, but that ’didn’t matter a mite to the audience. If ever there was a padded paper house, it was that subterranean vault at Cooper Union yesterday afternoon, and never was there put on exhibition enthusiasm of such .at patently manufactured sort. If the men ami women were not there by orders, they had come out of curiosity and hysterical ‘lrresponsibility. "I’m for Tammany, of course,” one woman confided to the crowd, .‘ but I just thought I’d come and see what th • se folks would do. Hip, hip, hurray for Henry George," and she madly waved a little blue and white tlag marked Low. Any old candidate was good enough for her. The grimly humorous side of the thing presented itself, however, when, after all the whooping and i>oundins at either the wrong or the right place, after all the band playing and the speechifying, the candidate Stepp*<l forward. Those that had gone before had. however sincerely, been doing their bfst. They had at least held the house.

himself, there was a general stampede. Whole sections of seats emptied themselves as If by magic. You might have supposed that it was a kind of signal for leaving. “Good gracious.” cried more than one fleeing auditor. “I can stand his apostles, but not the man himself.” Even the imperturable content of the candidate was ruffled by such outspoken, precipitous sentiment on the part of his escaping audience. The women in charge of the affair were first rattled, then frightened. Such a calamity as this had not suggested itself to the most pessimistic. “Well, we've learned one thing,” said a citizen blessed with more humor than the rest, “whenever you want, to empty a hall just go get Seth Low to speak.

There is hut one exception to this arrav of fraud and deception, as shown by chemical analysis, and that is POSTUM CEREAL FOOD COFFEE, the only pure cereal coffee with a palatable taste sold on this market. Most of the prominent physicians know the ingredients of Postum and prescribe it in their practice. Many of tine large grocers of the East have had Postum and some of the imitations analyzed, in order to know what they were giving their customers. A notable example is that of Cobb, Bates & Yerxa, of Boston, who have just purchased a carload of about 20,000 packages of Postum and dismissed all imitation Cereal Coffees from their shelves. If you can digest coffee, use pure coffee. If coffee acts unpleasantly, use Postum, and see that it is boiled full 15 minutes after boiling commences, but do not lend yourself to concoctions and harmless adulterations.

NATION ALW.C.T.U. WORK * REPORTS OF DEPARTMENT OFFICERS SUBMITTED YESTERDAY. ♦ * Physical Culture nml the Loyal Temperance League—Military Drill in Schools Condemned. a BUFFALO, N. Y„ Oct. 30—Miss Frances E. Willard was not present to open the second day’s session of the W. C. T. U., and it was called to order by Miss Lillian M. Stevens, the vice president-at-large. Mrs. Helen G. Rice, of Massachusetts, secretary of the Loyal Temperance League, presented the report of that branch, which, in part, follows: “The work of the local legions, whose estimated number is 3,500, has been full of interest, boiii in the senior and junior grades. The inspiring marching songs,’ compiled by Miss Gordon, and the national, state and local mottoes and rallying crits have been wonderful promoters of enthusiasm. Kindergarten methods have been employed in the youngest divisions; sewing, wood carving and other industrial features have been successfully used in some legions. Parliamentary drills, physical culture exercises, debates and other advanced methods have been followed in the senior grade, while temperance is always the central thought. Much attention has been given to inculcating the principles of patriotism, peace, purity and mercy. Specific teaching is given in regard to the evils of gambling. We have now about three thousand graduates of the senior course of study, many of whom have pursued a large number of supplementary 'reading courses. Ministers, instructors in our higher schools of learning and business men have in many instances given their valuable time as leaders of senior grade classes. “Many worthy objects have received the contributions of the ltgioners. Drinking fountains have been erected, flowers and literature collected and distributed, scrap books and envelope libraries prepared, hospital and almshouse services brightened by fresh, young voices, and many other helpful ministries rendered. In addition to the local companies some district and county legions have been organized. District and county conventions have quickened enthusiasm. In Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. New York, Massachusetts, Indiana and Vermont the L. T. L. graduates have been organized into state legions, which have done’ a wonderful work along the lines of some of the W. C. T. U. departments, and through their stirring annual conventions. It is impossible to obtain exact statistics, but the estimated number of enrolled members is 300,000; of pledged members, 170,000; of honorary (adult) members, 2,000.” “Health and Heredity” was the subject of a paper read by Dr. Louise C. Purington, of Massachusetts, which went into the advances made in sanitation, pure foods and other matters pertaining to health. The report of the credentials committee was presented by Mrs. Emily Burgess, of New York, showing: General officers, 8; superintendents, 25; evangelists, 7; organizers, 11: delegates. 377: orators, 437, in attendance at the convention. Mrs. Lucy Thurman, of Jackson, Mich., superintendent of the work among colored people, submitted a lengthy report showing the results of organize lion among women of the race in the Southern States. The five minutes of physical exercise was conducted by Miss Mary A. Blood, of Chicago, and participated in with even more vigor than yesterday. “Nonalcoholic Medicine” was discussed in a paper by Mrs. Martha M. Allen, of New YorkMrs. Frances W. Leiter. of Ohio, superintendent of department of physical culture, presented her report in advance of its place on the programme. The report „says:‘ “Much of the harm resulting from school work may be averted, if medical examiners, appointed by law, shall, at least once during the school year, determine the physical

fitness of the child for the required mental work. The country needs healthy, strong men and women, with fair mental acquirements, rat’t than dyspeptic graduates whose b'' s are poorly equipped for the emergencies of existence. Culture counts for little when one is physically unsound or disabled. “Anew factor has appeared opposing military drill, which ‘fad’ has Htndered physical training in many places. Unbiased educators nc elare military drill In the schools in its hearing on war iv ties. It hinders hoys,’ later. Joining the militia, because they consider themselves drilled, when the work could only be imperfectly accomplished. Mr. Herman Koehler, master of the sword and gymnastic instructor at West Point, says: ‘The use of the musket as a means of physical development for any one, be he man or boy, worse than useless. In my estimation It is positively injurious.’ "The question of systematic physical discipline, under suitable direction, in all penal institutions, appeals as humanitarian Relief under the strain of prolonged confinement. No guilt of an offender can, in the sight of God, justify a state in perpetrating slow death, which inevitably results, if some of the consequences of lawfully restricted liberty ere no: counteracted. To dismiss convicts with moral nature even more depraved. when it might have bean uplifted by physical betterment, Is criminal neglect. Brief respite to society cannot atone for the greater danger later, when the criminal is released, which comes as a consequence of aggravated physical degeneration. The situation in New York emphasizes the need. According to one press report from the State, within six or seven months, in one of the prisons, nineteen men have become insane under the depressing influence of confinement without suitable labor. Exercise in these Institutions should not be simplv a makeshift in the absence of employment. If occupation is lacking, exercise should be Increased; but it can never take the place of systematic physical training if the greatest good of the prisoner is considered. Labor furnishes the mind some employment, but it does comparatively little for the physical depression of prison life.” The report of superintendents was concluded after the evangelical hour with the report of Mrs. G. Stuckenberg. of Massachusetts. on temperance and labor. Mrs. Upborn, wife of u former Governor of Wisconsin. made an interesting report of the work in the lumber camps.
