majority of only 1924 The parties are so

Mrs. Mary Clancy, found dead in a cellar
in Worcester a few days ago, brought to light
sad and sickening developments Of the debas-
ing influence of intemperance. The daughter
OF Mrs. Clancy, about Is years of age, testified
shat her mother was in the habit of being
drunk whole week at time, and was in the
habit of sleeping in the cellar. When in such
a condition she would not come up or do any

quarrel, and had heard her mother say that
she did not care whether she lived or not.

consequence Of intemperance, restitution and
neglect.
