GENERAL.
An incident of the whisky war in Hamil-
ton. Ohio, is thus related by a Cincinnati
paper: "A Frenchman who had joined the
rabble advanced in a threatening attitude
toward one Of the crusaders, and, as some say,
by accident struck her. Immediately knives
were drawn, and the hosts of Satan arrayed
themselves against the hosts Of the Lord.
The cry, Hang him. hang him. arose from
the latter, and made things look like bust
ness to those Of the former. What might
have resulted can only be imagined, as the
police Immediately interfered and escorted
the Frenchman to the lookup"
Bald Mountain. which has been 30 long in
labor in North Carolina, does not bring forth
anything, not even q puff of smoke. That
there is something in it cannot be doubted.
The people thereabouts have been greatly
alarmed by the noises, which have not been
wholly useless, since they have been the cause
OF the conversion Of 100 souls. An old inhab-
liant states that in 1912 the mountain was
moved in a similar way, but more severely
than at this time.
The City Of Cleveland. Ohio, was the
other day the scene of a most disgraceful
riot. A band of praying women, the wives
and daughters of respectable citizens, were
set upon in the street by a disorderly mob of
drunken ~loafers, who assailed them with wells
and insulting remarks when they attempted
to pray or eing. The ladies' were threatened
with violence, and at one place two of them
were quite severely injured. 4 number Of
gentlemen who interfered in behalf Of the
ladies, were badly beaten. A policeman was
struck on the head with abrick while at
tempting to keep the mob back. and was very
seriously injured. The ladies' finally reached
their homes in safety. Much indignation is
expressed by citizens at the action of the mob,
and if the ladies' continue their work they
will not lack physical support.
All the druggists in Springfield. H., with
the exception Of two, have pledged them
selves to sell no more liquor except for medi-

The women'sw war against the cohorts of

All along the line a fusilade of prayer and
song continues, and occasionally som of the
strongholds Of the enemy, unable to resist the
constant, unintermitting fire, surrender to
the Amazonian hosts, and the stock in trade
is ruthlessly emptied into the gutter. But
success not always attend the efforts Of the
ladies. Once in a while they encounter an
obdurate fellow who resents their interference
with what he considers his legitimate bust
ness, and at other times the besieging force
is subjected to insult and abuse. But the
zeal Of the ladies overcomes these trifing
drawbacks, and the attack is renewed with
increased ardor after every ~repulse.
The news from the seat OF the threatened
Indian hostilities in the West is not 30 ell
couraging to peace as heretofore. A Chey-
enne telegram says: "The troops at Spotted
Tail expect trouble, and are terrifying in a
position which commands the agency. The
temper Of the Indians at the agencies is any
thing hut friendly. So far nothing has been
accomplished. The more hostile Indians have
not been seen, and the whole question is as
unsettled as it was a month ago."
