Temperance Work In Mammalian.

Never has there been so much accom-
plished in one weeks time here in this
cause as has been done by Mrs. Molloy's
labors the past week. Over six hundred
and fifty have signed the pledge, among
whom were several liquor dealers from
the "high'' to the "low," to say nothing of
the scores of hard drinkers who have come
out strong temperance men. Many of the
most skeptical have come forward and
pledged themselves as supporters of this
cause.
Wednesday evening Mrs. Malloy deliv-
cred her sixth lecture at Village Hall. The
house was densely packed. Not foot of
standing room could be obtained. After
most eloquent address, many stepped for
ward and signed the pledge, after which
VIM. H. Hurst, Ben. Spinnard and others
went upon the stage and made few re-
marks, pledging themselves in this work
and encouraging others 10 come forward
and do the same.
Thursday evening another crowded
meeting was held at the same place which
was devoted principally to speaking by the
new signers. VIM. Colburn, VIM. WASH
burn, Joseph Meron, John BhkeIy,
Thomas Regan, Frank Felt, James Burns
and others by their remarks gave great in
terest to the meeting.
Friday evening Mrs. Molloy delivered
her seventh lecture at Trinity Vestrv
which was closely packed. At the close
scores of drinking men made their way to
the front and signed amid the cheering of
the great assembly.
Saturday evening n meeting was held in
the rooms of the Reform Club, which was
especially for the members only, but the
room was by far too small, many being
unable to get in. Great enthusiasm pre-
vailed throughout the evening. Men of
all classes and creeds who one week be-
fore were addicted to the cup were now
free and bound together TO fight this mon
ster evil
Sunday evening Mrs. Molloy delivered
an address to as large an assembly us was
ever brought together in this town. Thirty
minutes before the speaker arrived the Hall
was so dcnsely packed that not even stand
ng room could be obtained, all the ante
'ooms were filled to Overlooking. Not
ess than 1900 were present and several
hundred were turned away. Mrs. Molloy
her first lecture over again by :,
equest. As usual many signed ut the -.
lose of the address, and some of them
mounted the platform and spoke. Frank
Bascom, A. c. Dewey and Joseph
falize being the most prominent. A
