figs in a box. He said she had come to
apologize for her sisters who were no:
vet ready to visit the saloons. He believed
her to be sincere in her professions and
wanted every man in the room to give res
pectful attention to what she had t. say. Ii
any one made disturbance or even spoke
lo1d word, the police would at once remove
him. He also said he had speech which
he would deliver when the lady had finished

trembling tone then stated to that crowd Of
full ak hundred men why she stood before
them. She said that she vas mother and
felt it her duty to save from ruin the hun
dreds of young men nov starting
onthe downward path. After a few more a..
fective remarks, the exact text Of which We
are for want of space unable to give the lady
offered an earnest and heart felt prayer for
the proprietors of the ''Saratoga" and all
their misguided customers. A chapter OF
the scripture was then read. and the lady

Jennison's speech was not forthcoming, as

AN RGANIZATiON PERFECTED.
Most of the business of the meeting held
yesterday was kept profound secret, but We
managed to get the names Of the officers
elected, and append them as follows Presi-
dent, Mrs. DR.. Davis; Vice presidents, Ms.
Carney, Mrs. Delahay, Mrs. Woods and Mrs.
North; Secretary, Mrs. Hunting; Assistant
Secretary, Mrs. J. W. Brown. About two
hundred ladies attended the meeting. They
intend to gather at three o'clock every after
noon till further notice, and push the work
of the crusade with vigor. A to the inter-
nal working of the organization We are for
obvious reasons not posted.
VISIT TO THE NEWSPAPER FRATERNITY

caucus, however, and q committee was APP
pointed to visit the different offices and work
the editors up to proper pitch of enthusi-
asm. They came, they saw, but did not
conquer. All the editors were confirmed
Temperance men, and had been 30 from time
immemorial. They could no, he frightened
or bribed. Smiles would not invite or tears
alright them from the plain path Of duty.
They promised to give fair and impartial
statement of the wsr as it progressed, but that
was all. The ladies stated before they left
our sancium tina, they had the good Deacon
on probation, but as long as he gels % cents
a line for "Saratcga" locals they may rest in
the bleseed assurance that he will always re.
main there.
