iiLi-ita ^iilLHSSBg W. C. T. U. Setes. ^Irs. Anns Bowman’leads the meeting next 'Friday afternoon at the (C. Jf. church. Subject: “The Press.” Jt is also regular monthly business meeting. The Brewers’ Gazette states that 31,000,000 barrels of beer are yearly manufactured in the United States. Last year in the United States there was an increase in 6ale of 4,000,000 gallons of liquor over the year 11J81. What will become of us if this ratio of increase is kept up ? Dear sisters of the “White Ribbon,” don’t cease your vigilance because the weather is warm. Remember that men are selling and drinking whisky, boys are taking their first glass, mothers’ hearts are being broken, wives and little children are suffering for the necessities and comforts of life, and humau liyes that might, but for drink, bless auij serve their times, are being wasted, |nd immortal souls are slipping iuto drunkards’ woes, in summer as well as in winter; so let us relieve each other’s burdens if auy seem too much taxed for a time, nor think of cessation of labor until we lay dowu life’s duties for the grave and Heaven’s rest. May not we all bo heplcd in this by observing the noou-hour prayer? Tux Saloon Continued—We pql our slaughter pens and our glue and soap factories out to one side so they may cojpe in contact with as few as possible, but we place the sa)opp with its poisonous influences on health and morals., in the very centers of our populace, we have the saloon in the capjtol building of our nation. We have it established by law in the soldiers’ homes throughout the country. We have the saloon on the grounds of the great world's fair. We send liquor to other nations along with our missionaries with governmental sanction. Iffe have whisky “handy” everywhere aud somehow fjr other it has gotten mixed up even in our polities, and is admitted to have a controlling power there, and rigfit here is another puzzliug question to us women: “HoV can you take a thing out of a place without going where it is?” Now, we, as a class, aye not anxious to go iuto politics, opr education has been on the other side, but

the saioou has compelled us to go many places where we had no desire to go. It is not a pleasant task to. plead with a poor victim, whose every nerve is shattered, amt have him re* pulse uij tyilh: “I am not a proper subject lor anxiety, I • don’t drink much.” It is & sad, sad journey also to follow to-Uie grave the young and HroTig, but |or“driuk, or the innocent and helpless, or go with a crawling weight at heart through life, placed there by one who would* have been true aud loving, but for the cup, Frail, weak bauds have had to do rough drudging work to provide food and shelter for (he drunkard’s child, leaving alt the trah)iug of mind aud soul unprovided for. Yes how, how can we extricate ourselves from these reoccurriug ills, and a thousand others brought upon us by the saloon?” Can it be remedied by kcepiug sileut Stud belug.su buhssive ? Allie R.

Many curious and interesting sights are seen oti the midway plaisance, this street of all pylons, the nieccaof all visitors to the world’s fair, at Chicago ; but among all its exhibits the “Panorama of the Swiss Alps1’ is doubtless the most highly artistic. To those whose good fortune it has beeu to go “abroad” this panorama awakens old memories, and to the mauy who have been less fortunate this really grand paiutiug is a' revelation. It is a perfect representation of the famed Bernese Oberlaudf as it appears in all the immensity of reality to a sight-sper in the midst of the Alps. The lllusiou is ipad? perfect by the vigorous and sincere painting of such artists as Burnann, LtaudPavy aud Furet. This superb canvas was painted in Paris, France, for the axpress purpose of exhibition at the world’s fair, and has received the well Reserved econiums of 'all the leading french and American artist?.

Scott Mityhell loot his mocking bird Ei few days ago, aud bos been on the look-out for it ever since. He was told that it was down J^ain street at sue of the blacksmith shops, and be started out withthe determination to capture it. On nearing the blacksmith shop he was dead on to tbf bird, lie was sure he heard him whistling, and he sneaked around as easy as a cat to catch the bird, when he w^s surprised to see one of Charles Veeck's little boys sitting there quietly whistling the latest song out. The hoys claim to* have the laugh on Scott, and he thinks ao too. ••Vid^t'i**. ..a «• s. ‘ «•.'

Princeton sutTered a severe loss by fire Wednesday, and up to the time of going to press nothing definite could be learned as to t)»e extent of the loss. It was stated on the streets that six blocks had burned out and among those bpih)ings burned were the two banks of the town. The loss will probably reach #150,000Later.—The firs is supposed to have started in the Liqfit office in the main parti pf M^e city near the court house.. The fire swept everything before it, and soon all that part ot the busiuess center accyoss from the court house was pne seething mass of Dames. The fjre spread rapidly, burning in its path the Brownlee I block, the Farmer’s bank, the livery stable, Snap & Fjcliuer buggy works', C. P. and M.E. churches; iu all about twenty-five business houses and about fifteen residences. The Evansville fire department responded to tbe call for help, but aftgr getting there were powerless on account of not having water to work with. The majority of tbe business men lost all their books and accounts. The court house caught lire several times, but the damage to that building wilt be slight. The loss, as now estimated, will reach #350,OOQ. The town is poorly supplied in the way of fighting the flre-fiend, and the hot and dry weather had made the frame buildings as dry as pqwder. Incipient fires were started in* nearly all i directions from the main fire, and it was with great dfficulty that the town was saved iu tbe course the fire was pursuiug.
