AN INTERESTING HISTORY.
Sketch OF the ST. PatricIt's Total Absti
ncncc sOciety--Its Present Prospcrou

Sketch OF the 81. PRtriclt's Total Absti-
ncncc society--Its Present Prosperous
Condition.
Tho Oldest temperance society in Washing
ton, and one Of tho most prosperous is the st.
Patrich's Total Abstinence society. This as
sociation has history and record of which
IL may well be proud. 1t was the first Cath
olic total abstinence society organized in tho
United States. Founded in 1910 il has had u
continuous existence up to date. OF the
charter members only three survive, one of
whom is the well known and repected Mr..
r. A. Byrne, who still remains connected
with the society. Though at times the mem
bership has been reduced to very small
number, and many adverse and discOuraging
circumstances have surrounded IL, yet for
nearly half century this organization has
maintained an existence, and its records for
the past iorty-throe years are q strange and
interesting history Upon the rolls of the
society will be found the names of large
number of persons who, in years past, have
been closely identified with tho business in
terests of our city, with those Of others prom
incnt in national affairs.
The present year is probably the most i'm
| portant in the history of the society, because
the most prosperous. Its remarkable progress
is largely attributable to tho efforts of its
president, Mr, ~, y. waters, VINO mas eXhlD-
tied marked force and ability in conducting
| the affairs of the society. During his ad-
ministration the weekly meetings of the or
| ganization have been made interesting by
musical and literary exercises. For this
| purpose class was formed some time since
| by Il number of young ladies and gentlemen,
known as the Temperance Glee club, several
members of which are prominent in musical
and literary circles.
To make the Sunday evening meetings still
more entertaining and attractive the glce
| club, at the instance of President Waters, was
reorgani2ed two weeks ago under the title OF
| the Temperance Choral union, with an in.
creased membership, including some of the
| best musical talont in the city. The union is
ofiicered by manager; musical director
Mr.. j. II. Hall secretary, Mr.. j. j. McNor-
haney, and a treasurer, Mr.. George Ripley
Misses Lulu Waters Geraldine McNerhaney
| Annie Mcguire, Mamie Mullen, Aggie Mullen
| Mary AIadigan, Mrs. J. j. McNerhaney, and
Messrs. Il. ID. Smoot, William Stack, L. j
Hail. and other equally prominent vocalists
are the members.
The first exhibition of the reorganized
choral union was offered in the basement oi
St. Patrick's church last Sunday night.
very large audience was present and II splen.
did programme was splendidly rendered. To.
morrow night the second exhibition of the
choral union will be offered at the same place
and very excellent programme has been
| prepared In addition to the musical and lit
erary entertainment, Mr.. Frank Men erhaney
one of the most eloquent orators in the coun-
| try, will deliver an address on temperance al

A Wonan's Affair.

Mrs. N. II. Small, the wife of the popular
deputy sheriff and assessor of Topsham, Me-,
writes us ON May 10, 1888: "That she had
been severely afflicted during several years
with kidney and liver disease, accompanied
with severe pains and backacho. Having
tried many so-called cures and medicines and
doctors prescriptions without receiving any
benefit, and while seeking for cure sho no.
ticed the advertisements of Hunts Remedy,
and decided to try it. Having bought a
bottle at Mr.. Johnson's drug store, COM
menced using it with such flattering re-tlts
that she continued its use, and after using
only five bottles the improvement in her
health is so marked that she wishes all who
are afflicted in like manner to know of this
most valuable and reliable medicine; and
she most cheerfully recommends Hunts
Remedy to all, and especially to females who
are troubled with the complaints peculiar to

The "whnok at the Pilgrim Fathers

To The EdGor.
In THE REPUBLICAN of the twenty fourth
instant there appeared an article on tho old
I" blue laws" of Connecticut, with a sensa-
tional heading, which would most certainly
mislead those who are not informed as to the
facts of the case. OF late years there seems
to be q strong desire on the part of some peo-
pie to cast reflections upon the pilgrim
Fathers" and repeatedly these people con-
found the pilgrim" with the puritan"
Now, the pilgrims" of Plymouth Rock were
quite a different set of men from those who,
for "a short time, held control of the puritan
settlement at Salem, and who all these years
have brought such reproach upon these early
times. Tho pilgrim element created no
scandal in their day. All the hy-
pocrisy, tyranny, and morbid theol-
ogy of those early days sprung from
a few, and avery few. religious bigots, if they
were not worse, who for II very short period
held control of the settlement at Salem.
Their day was short, but III short time they
did a deal of mischief. These were the men
who banished that noble soul, Roger Williams,
and committed such deeds in the name of the
Lord Tho Plymouth colony had no hand in
this, nor in any of the shameful things that
were done in the name of religion. When q
reaction took place and the forces of the true
puritans were re-entOrced by immigration
this miserable element slunked away into the
wilds of Connecticut, where they gave to the
world the so called "bluc laws" which have
been handed down to us under such n false
impression. 1t is full time that the world
understood the facts in the case, and that they
cease o conlound the Pilgrim Fathers" with
tho SO called puritan" element that did so
much mischief at Salem. These mighty
souls, who Sin the name of the Lord >" sacri-
feed SO much for humanity, deserve not the
reproach that has of late years been cast upon
them by thOughlless or designing men. We
owe them too much to permit it. Let us de-.
fend them even as we ourselves would like
to be defended against similar accusations.

| horses necessary to haul the section back and
forth from the armory lot. First Lieut.
Byrnes will be in charge of the firing. Per-
mission from the commissioners and Col.
| Rockwell has been obtained.
A feature of the parade, at once unique and
magnificent, will be parade by the employees

| of Mr.. j. u. ID. Phelps master of transpOrta-
tion of that company, who has made arrange
ments to have all tho employees mounted ON
horseback, in uniform, each bearing torch,
