ANTI.ALCOHOL.
The New York Programme.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE temperance
programme for the present week is not ex-
tensiye so far as public meetings are con-
cerned, but an increased number of ladies
are engaged visiting ssloons and groceries,
and ladies' temperance prayer meetings are
springing up in many parts of the city. A
committee of ministers have decided that
meetings will be held at the Calvary Bap-
fist Church Tuesday, Path, beginning at 10
A. NJ, p. NJ. and 7:45 p. NJ. A real estate
dealer says many landlords, in leasing their
property now, stipulate that no liquor was
to be made or sold on the premises.
The Catholic Move.
\ circular has been issued in behalf of
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union of
America, explaining the plan ofpermanent
and effective organization of the total alb
stinence forces, and calling upon societies
in all quarters TO connect themselves with
this union. 1t is purposed to retain the
temperance societies under the supervision
of the heads of the church.
A Terrible Text
Sunday evening, while number of Ger
mans were seated around a table in a Sa-
loon, playing cards and partaking of re-
freshments, August kellemen entered
drunk, carrying loaded rifle. He levelled
the piece at the table, shooting dead An
drew Miller. Kellemen was arrested.
Chicago Undaunted.
CHICAGO, March notwithstanding
the failure Of the temperance ladies last
night to secure the repeal of the Sunday Or
dinance by the City Council and their brJI-
tai treatment by the street mob last night,
e
the fight, and have called a mass meeting
for tomorrow and Thursday night.
On the Curb-Stone.
DAYTON, o., March 1.-THE crusaders
continue crOwding saloons. The area of
march was extended to-day and new saloons
subjected to the visitations. No new incl
dents. The weather being pleasant, the
ladies were not invited inside, but were
just as serious on the curb-stOne as in front
of the bars. Their sOlemnity is crushingly
oppressive to SalOOniSts, but makes no favor
able impression on them. Eleven days
have passed without distinct conquest,
but the women are as resolute as ever.
Great Temperance meeting at Grace
Church tonight. The liquor dealers pro-
pose a straight fight at the spring cleo
tions. If the Republicans will make wise
nominations they will set up the city. But
if they compromise against moral senti-
ment they will be mashed under deep.
Poor Success.

committee of thirty is busily engaged in
canvasSing the city with various pledges

tiOnS praying the enforcement of the tenn
perance-4aw by the city authorities which
was received and filed but was honOred
with no further attention.
