TEMPERANCE WOMEN.

TWENTf-SECOND SESSION OF THE W. a T. U. CLOSED. Prominent Workers In the Temper* once Cause from All Parte of the United States Meet—AUCreeds Made W elcome. ■ - Miss Willard Re-elected. Miss Frances Willard was' again elected president of the W. C. T. Ui at the twenty-second annual convention held in Baltimore* There was practically no opposition, although complimentary votes were cast for several other prominent workers. Other officers were elected as follows: Vice President-at-large, Mrs. l. m: N. Stevens; Treasurer, Mrs. Helen M. Barker; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Katharine Lent Stevenson, of Massachusetts; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman, of Kansas City, Mo.; Assistant Recording Secretary, Mrs. Frances J. Beauchamp, of Kentucky. —. The day’s proceedings were opened with devotional exercises conducted by Miss Blizabeth Greenwood. The'venerable Mother Thompson, the original temperance crusader, offered a prayer. The report of the Committee on Credentials showed that forty-three States were represented and that 425 persons were present and entitled to vote. The Committee on Resolutions made its report and the convention took it«up for

consideration in sections. It declares for Jotal abstinence, favors devotional services, deplores the practice of deriving Governmental revenue from the liquor traffic, declares against the legalized saloon and in favor of union on “tHe Staten

Island basis” to battle with intemperance, reaffirms allegiance to the prohibition party, commends the action of the Atlanta commissioners in closing the exposition on Sunday, declares for uufermented wine at the sacrament,' favors scientific temperance instruction in the public schools and affirms that the W. C. T. U. has never received any money for the “endorsement of any school physicology;” condemns bird shooting tournaments, the use of narcotics, and lynching, favors female suffrage and deprecates "the use of weapons in school drills as fostering a military spirit.” Miss Willard favored a resolution admitting Catholic and Hebrew women to active co-operation in W. C. T. U. work. One of the delegates suggested it might not be quite consistent for the “Women’s Christian Temperance Unjon” to ask Hebrews to affiliate. She laid special emphasis on the word “Christian.” Miss Willard with a good deal of feeling said: “They have extended the hand of sympathy to our organization and our cause. We should invite them to co-operate. I want to welcome them to us if they want to come.” Finally the convention enthusiastically adopted the resolution, and Miss Willard said she thanked God for this act of the convention, and that she considered it an honor and a pleasure to extend the hand of fellowship to Catholic and Hebrew women. The convention indorsed its Woman’s Temperance Publishing Association, conducted by women in Chicago. It indorsed the temperunce hospitals which do not administer brandy and other intoxicants in medicine. It rejoiced in the usefulness of the various young people’s Societies of ’he churches. It commended the organisation of a W. C. T. U. lecture bureau and expressed appreciation of the Demorest temperanCe--qiettal contests. It nsked for a place for women on the divorce commissions of the various States. Mrs. Matilda B. Carso, of Chicago, presented the “Temple report,” showing the progress of raising $300,000 necessary to clear "The Temple” In Chicago of debt. Mrs. Corse reported SIOB,OOO on condition that the balance be raised by Jun. 1.

Agrced on Their Policy.

A Washington dispatch says: President Clereiand and Secretary Oiney are agreed on the Venezuelan policy. The published intimation that Secretary Oiney intends to resign because he hus not been supported by the President in his foreign policy is wholly discredited here, and persons close to the Secretary insist that the relations between him and the President are of the most cordial and intimate nature, and have been such since Mr. Oiney assumed the administration of the State Department. His visit to Boston is said to have been required by presing private business, and he was enabled to plead an 'exriifte for his absence from the Atlanta party on the ground that he would'be expected to accompany a number of diplomats from Washington to Atlanta later •a to be present there on diplomatic dap.

KNOCKS OUT THE FIGHTERS.

Arkansas Supreme Court Reverses the Leatherman Decision. The Arkansas Supreme Court rendered a decision in the Corbett case, by which Judge Leatherman’* decision was reversed and the prize fight law sustained. Corbett was remanded back to the custody of the Sheriff of Garland County. Chief Justice Bunn, in delivering the opinion, severely criticised Chancellor Leatherman, saying he had no authority

for his action in the habeas corpus case. Judge Leatherman, when asked what he thought of the decision, said: “I care nothing nalw/ul the prize fight, I^tbiakGov. Clarke has put himself in a ridiculous attitude in view of the unconstitutional positions he has taken. He is perfectly correct in what the Chancellor would decide because he himself knows that the law was unconstitutionally passed. He had no right to any other opinion. He was incorrect, however, when he said he thought no other judge in the State “would render such an opTn-“ ion, for, in order to declare tho law unconstitutionally passed, it would be necessary to nullify or invalidate ail article of the Constitution. I challenge the criticism of all reputable lawyers and courts. I do this in view of the expressions of the Governor on the subject.” Martin Julian,' manager for Fitzsimmons, was seen immediately after the news of the Supreme Court’s adverse decision reached Little Rock, fie said;

“Now that we are barred out of Arkansas by the decision of the Supreme Court, Fitzsimmons is prepared to accept the offer of'‘Corbett’s manager, made in Dallas, that we fight in private. We will go anywhere on earth in order to get a fight out of Corbett. Aijy place will suit us. We will go to London and fight Corbett for the £3,000 purse offered by the Mirror of Life. Corbett has repeatedly Btated that he would fight Fitzsimmons in a

DECREASE IN THE RECEIPTS.

Internal Revenue Collection for Three Months BROW a Falling Off. The statement prepared at the Internal Revenue Bureau of the collections of internal revenue during the first three months of the present fiscal year shows the total collections to have been $37,741,478, as against $58,054,108 for tho same period last year. The amounts from the several sources of revenue are given as follows: Spirits, $18,852,028, decrease from the some period last year $21,302,364; tobacco, $8,075,545, increase $460.600: fermented liquors. $10,398,100, increase $792,630; oleomargarine, $338,384, decrease $137,504; miscellaneous, $89,470, decrease $113,992. During the month of September last the receipts are given as follows: Spirits, $6,109,499, increase $5,661,292; tobacco, $2,676,006, increase $85,665; fermented liquors, $3,088,522, increase $329,422; oleomargarine, $97,932, decrease $59,634; miscellaneous, $29,945, decrease $134,493. Total receipts for September $12,001,956, which is a gain over September, 1894, of $5,882,251. So far during the month of October the receipts from internal . revenue amount to $9,668,200, which is a alight gain over last month. Now that Minneapolis has completed her census we see no reason why she should not go on with the Harry Hayward tosdivtUsa.

Qufte simple.

When a Burmese husband and wife decide to separate, the woman goes out and buys two little candles of equal length, which are made especially for this use. She brings them home. She and her husband sit down on the floor, placing the candles between them, and light them simultaneously. One caudle stands for him. the other for her. The one whose candle goes out first rises and goes out of the house forever, with nothing but what he or she may* 1 have on. The one whose candle has survived the longest, even by a second, takes everything. So the divorce and division of the property—if you can call that a division—are settled. It looks fair enough, but as I owe heard somebody remark, appearances are deceitful. The wife on her way home with the candle, takes a tiny scraping from the bottoln of one of them. A very little will be enough. If the husband and house are empty of pretty I much everything but children, she takes the shortened candle and walks 'out free and content. But If the house is well furnished and the husband’s possessions are* considerable, he gets tne short candle and does the walking.

A Big Regular Army.

The mightiest host of this sort Is the army of Invalids whoso bowels, livers, and stomachs have been regulated by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. A regular habit of body is brought about through using the Bitters, not by violently agitating and griping the Intestines, but by re-enforeing their energy and causing a flow of the bile Into Its proper channel.- Malaria, la grippe* dyspepsia, aid a tendency to Inactivity ojf the kidneys, fire Conquered by the Bitters.

Fall and Winter.

Frequent experiments have proved that manure spread in the fall a’id allowed to lie on the surface all winder was of more worth than that wh*ch was spread and plowed under at planting time. Nitrification goes on under the protection of its own mulch. Manure in the barnyard is bringing no profits.

Mgr. Capel Now a Rich Rancher.

Mgr. Capel is the Catesby of Disraeli’s ‘\L«othair,” and converted Lord Bute to the Catholic, faith. He got under a cloud, however, in some way, and -WAS sent to the United States In a sort of exile. The clergy In this country did not take to him much, and he swung a lecturing tour circle, finally betaking himself to California, where he bought a large rauch and went in for raising fine horses and blooded stock generally. A priest who knows him well informs me l 4h&t he baa grown rich. Formerly the pink of perfection in dress, ho has grown indifferent to his garb, and dresses and looks like a typical ranchman. He is a man of rare cm ure and accomplishments. He is of imposing presence and imperial bearing. His dark, deep blue eye flashes from seemingly fathomless depths. His hand is as perfect as Trilby’s foot, and he has a way of laying It across riiis manly chest that fetches the admiration of the ladies.— Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.

Comfort in Travel.

Ton realize this in the highest degree on the famons fast trains of the Michigan Central, “The Niagara Falls Route,” between Chicago and New York and Boston in connection with the New York Central and Hudson River and Boston-and Albany Railroads. Transport, the great London journal of transportation interests, says: “Certainly they outdo us in and luxury, and the accounts of the sleeping and dining cars most create envy in the breasts of those who know what it is to travel all night seated upright in a jolting railway carriage. Indeed, the trains ►on the Michigan Central are like colossal hotels on wheels, and the comfort of the passengers is a thing assured.” For tickets, sleeping-car reservations, folders, or any special information desired, apply at city passenger and office, No. 119 Adams street, opposite the postoffice.
