The Plan OF The worcester Ladies'.


The ladies Of Worcester. Mass, after pro-
longed discussion, rejected the Ohio plan of
praying in the saloons and streets. and
adopted instead plan Of organized pri-
yatc. personal appeal not only to the liquor
seller, but to his partner-the property
holder, who rents him his shop. The Wor
cester women propose to labor with the
rumseller quietly, two OF three at a time,
and try by personal entrcaty and prayer to
persuade him TO give up the business At
the same time, and in the same way. the
owner Is to be urged to sign pledge not to
let his property for liquor-scl Hotel
keepers and druggists are also to be visited
in a similar way. DR.. Lewis, though he
saw them rejecting his counsels, i reported
a. deeply impressed with the earncstness Of
the Worcester ladies. saying that nowhere
in OHIO had be seen anything that equalled
it. Nothing could be more strongly marked
than the determination to turn this earnest
ness into some practical channel.
We see it stated that in some places in
Ohio, the women have already found it good
policy to give up visiting rumscllers in pro-
cessionS, and instead have adopted the plan
Of circulating pledges. Druggists appear
to be especial objects of these petitioners,
and a company of hundred women has
not been found any more effective than a
small committee In Delaware, Delaware
county, Ohio, the women began the work
with procession ofone hundred and forty,
but soon changed their plan, and commit
tees Of four were appointed TO visit the va
rious druggists In a short time the work
was done as thoroughly as it could have
been by the whole force, for all the drug
gists but one signed pledge agreeing that

This may be fairly considered as the set
Element of the question for New England
quite as much as for Worcester. We scarce
ly need TO say that we consider such an
adaptation OF the western system immeas-

it bodily into climate so uncongenIal.
Both are signs of deep and genuine tenn
