TEMPERANCE.
The Woman's Temperance Society OF Chicago
held n1ass-meetiug yesterday evening in the
First Methodist Church. The chair was taken
by Miss Frances E. Willard. After the meeting
was opened By prayer the Chair stated that the
headquarters Of the Society are at No. 14S Madi-
son street, nhero ladies' could meet and organize
for the fall campaign. sho also stated that q
meeting would be held thoro at 8 O'Clock to-
morrow
The meeting was then addressed by
MRS. Il. c. soULE,
who announced IA her subject ''What Can Be
Done for Temperance 2" She urged that tho
wag,ug of var against lntemperance vas not m
easy task. The enemy Was often to be found in
the househou1d OF women. where it was all the
harder to combat. It was essentially the duty Of
women to keep free from the indulgence in alco-
holic beverages because God bad given it to
them to keep pure. It was possible for every
WOMAN to bring powerful brain force to bear
against the insidous foe. They could pass from
home to home, store to store, saloon to saloon.
With pledge in hand and do good service for tho
cause. I. WAS the.r duty to call upon all men,
and not 10 feel dlsneartened at REFUSAL to sign.
II d reason WAS asked from them why tho pledge
shou1d be signed they should adduce arguments
showing tho ev, effects Of drinking They
should not rest here, however. They should go
to the LEGISLATORS, who as intelligent men would
acoueisce in their demands for tho promotion
Of tempo, ance. They could spread temperance
tracts abroad With certainty Of good result. The
vice OF iutefnperance had done more to ill poor
houses and insane asElums than any other
Cause It was necessary for the ladies' OF Chi
caco to rise, stand firm. and do all they cor]l to
free this beautiful lake city from the evil that

T. colored lady from Philsdeluhia, said it WIS the

that t ho men Of their acquaintance led temper

against intempo-ance. and il tlcy made good
etaul they could accomplish grand leallts.
Mrs. CHURCHILL,
of Rhode Island, said she had one or two ideas
on the subject OF temperance, but would ask to
be excused il her address WAS rather rambling.
It had been claimed in a Chicago paper thur
women did not know enough to vote. Perhaps
thu: paper Was right bu: tue speaker thought as
had baen EXPRESSED in one OF George E1iot's
noyels, that the women vera made to match the
men. Women were perhapa the equals

Size said they had relied upon the Baxter Tenn

their fight against the great evil. a very differ
had had voice in the election. The liquor
dealers had not opposed the law, because they
thought i. would have no effect, but when they
saw tnat the women had their heart IN the
movement they decided that it should be abolish

shoulders to the wheel. They had not enlisted
for SIX months or year-they had enlisted
for the war. They would not Gru:nbla

MRS. LryERMonE
President OF tho Womans Congress. addressed
the meeting. the opening OF her speech beng
directed towards comparison OF the sexes
She asked the audience what tho result would
to the women Of Chicago to 60 there without
danger, and have all they called for. With the
exception Of fow foreign women. the
invitation would be totally disregurded-
The pleasure and 1elrium Of drinking
belonged nil to the men. the dregs and pain aris-
ing from i. belonged to tho women. Thoy should
remember that prevention was better than cure.
They ehould remember TINT to feed children

every day accounts were had Of masculine or
t.ies. The best work which had been ACCOM-
nlished by women Of late had been the manu-
facturing Of healthy sentiment against lEtena-
perance but the victory would not coma within
tie lives Of any now living. The evil
wAs too firmly rooted TO allow Of
a victory so soon. Thus those who
engaged in the crusade against intemperance
should remember tia. their labor was life
work. The speaker showed that the men OF
America spent e6o0, ,oo0, 900 more in whisky than
they speut in tho ordinary uecossarics OF life Of
themselves and families.
After speeches by one or two other ladies, the
meeting adjourned.
