Desperate Fight between Counter
fRIipTs


ST. LOUIS, December 10.-A desperate
fight occurred TO night at the boarding
house Of Mrs. Thomas, corner oil Summit
avenue and Market street, in the western
part Of the city, between two counterfeit.
ieiters, named Robert l.. Wilmer and
George Rankin, and man named S. s.
Watts, in which Watts was severely cut
in the head, face, neck and breast,
and Wilmer was shot in the breast.
Both men were very badly wounded. II
appears that U. S. Detective Duckworth
traced Wilmer and Rankin through Chi
csgo, Burlington, Peoria and other places
in Illinois 10 this city, and was preparing
to arrest them. Watts, who claims 10 be
q detective but who DuCkworth says is
an old counterfCiter, and was being used
by him as tool, went 10 Mrs Thomas
house, where Wilmer and Rankin were
stopping, called Wilmer TO one side on
the plea ol wanting 10 talk TO him, and in
a lew minutes Wilmer drew knife and
attacked him. Watts then drew pistol
and shot Wilmer. Watts also fired two
shots at Wilmer without effect. An alarm
was Immediately given 1T the station
.ot mounted police near by, and all
the parties arrested. Rlhkins was taken
TO jail and Wilmer and Watts conveyed
TO the hospital. On searching Wilmer
and Rlnkius something over 81, 600 coun.
terieit money was found. principally in
$50 notes, nud two $500 L. 5. Bonds and
asmall sum Of good money.

evil. Heretofore the advocates of
temperance have chiefly relied on
social and moral Influences. In.
lures and pledges in the interests Of
"Sons Of Temperance" and "Good
Templars" have accomplished much
good, but not as much as might have
been expected. 1t is not until lately
that the aid of the religious element
in society has been invoked. This
element is the hope and strength of
the so called Woman's Movement
The appalling dimensions which
this end has reached is teaching us.
that none but the Omnipotent can
stay our certain ruin. Hence the
women of our country have sough,
the aid of God in their crusade
against the monstrous evil. They
have invoked the spirit and power
of evangelical religion to grapple
with this vice. Whole districts have
been purified as the result, and
solution is offered to this perplexing
problem of craftsmanship. A be-
ginning of the end has been reached.
When all due allowances are made
for the extravagences of mode and
manner III the work, we must confess
that the ladies have alrayed forces
on their side which are neither re-
diculous nor ephemeral. A wedge
has been driven in which will ulti-
mately cut the cancer from the body
polite, Woman sustained by her
instincts as neither and wife, in
spired by that which is hottest and
best in character, her religion; will
stand a long fight when all that is
dearest to her Ola earth-the purity
and happiness of her home-is at
stake. We will wait for the reaction
says the opponent of this measure.
Yes, and while you wait remember,
that for the future it is established
that the Divine power in the religion
of the Cross can be welded with
success in nprooting this vilest of
traflics from good society. Ia the
religion Of Jesus are to be found
the purifying influences for society
social vice is to be extirpated by
religion
The Church every where must feel
its responsibility in this matter, and
bring to bear upon this issue the
force of its mighty power for good.
The Church must make sacrifices
in the interest of good order, purity
and truth in the public morals
Misguided and overdrawn as the
movement has been in many places,
| see in it repetition Of the sublime
Spirit which moved Paul to preach
before the icentious Felix, of right
eousness, temperance and judgment
to come. | cannot but regard it on
the whole as an attempt in the faith
OF Paul to carry the healing virtues
of the christian religion into the
very dens of vice to heal and purify
them. And why not take religion
there! The religion that has not
power to cleanse the foulest spots
on earth is not worth preserving in
this 10Th century,
| am glad the test is made we
need not fear for her soiled gar
ments if she will do aught to stop
the tide which bears its mourning
thousands to the Aims House, the
hospital, the dishonered grave, and
which scatters sorrow, grief and
woe broadcast over the earth.

To Can Fruit.

A correspondent Of the Rural New Yor-
ker furnishes some excellent ideas about
canning fruit, She says; Use only fresh
fruit, and that which is perfectly ripe.
not too soft, but just right to eat we'll.
Fill your cans full Of fruit, put the can in
a kettle ofcold water put few iron rings
in the bottom of the pot to prevent the
cans from breaking; then put over slow
fire at first, making it hotter after tho can
has become hot. Too greatat first will
crack. the cansat the bottom. Meanwhile,
make anice syrupof white sugar, and
when your fruit is half done cooking, pour
your syrup over the fruit in the cans, and
continue boiling until done remove from
the fire and SEAL Some people cook their
fruit before putting in cans, but II does
not preserve its natural flavor as we'll,
neither will the syrup be as clear. Cook
ing the fruit in the cans is the proper way
of canning fruit, in my estimation. I use
half a pound of sugar to quart jar of
ruit cherries, peaches, pears and rasber>
ries will do with six ounces. Cook quart
jars twenty or thirty minutes, according
to hardness of fruit. Keep watch of your
cans while boiling and as fast as the fruit
in the can lowers gil up with well ripen-
ed fruit; next morning test your jars il
they do not hold, boil them over again.
In ten days from time of canning, test
your fruit again, and if the cover holds
them it will keep four years longer. BY
testing ten days after canning, you will
never be awakened in the night by loud
report as of gun going off, as I have
heard people tell about, and breaking some
half'dozen cans nearest to it. Keep your
cans in cool, but not damp place.

A True Home.

The most perfect home ever saw, was
little house into the sweet incense Of
whose fires went no costly things. A
thousand dollars served for years living
Of father, mother, and thrce children.
But the mother was the creator Of q home /;
her relations with her children were the
most beautiful l have ever seen even the
dull and commonplace men was lifted I'D
and enabled to do good work for souls by
the atmosphere which this woman created !;
every inmate Of her house involuntarily !:
looked into her face for the key note Of
the day and it always rang clear. From
the rosebud or clover-leaf, which. in
spite of her hard house-work, she always
found time to put by our plates at break~
fast, down to the story she had on hand
to read in the evening, there was no inter-
mission Of her Influence. She has always
been and always will be my ideal Of a
mother, wife, home-maker. If to her
quick brain, loving heart, and exquisite
face had teen added the appliances Of
wealth and the engagements Of wider cul-
ture, hers would have been absolutely
the ideal home As it was, il was the
best have ever Helen Hunt.
