How They Catch Mackcrel,

The mackeral catcher has q somewhat
peculiar experience. Vessels of this
class are Of the same rig, tonnage, and
lading the cod. fish, except in them the
sein takes tho place of the trawl. The
scene of their operations is rather wider,
too, as they meet the mackerel on their

vessels reaches the spot where her prey

the schools, which may be seen playing
about on the surface old salts aver that
they can smell q school of mackerel Ga
well rs menhaden. When one is sighted,
tho listless of the crew gives away to
animation. The purseine, coiled on the
after hatch, is hastily thrown into .he
seine.boat, which hes been towing astern
since the vessel left port. Two dorics
are let down, aud, in company with the
seine.boat, row out toward the school.
At the proper time the seine.boss gives
the word, the two dories take each end
OF the seine, some two hundred and fifty

enclose the school. Then the seine is
"passed," and the schooner is signalled
to come alongside. There are five hun.

purse" The method of transferring
them to the vessel is much like that
practiced by the mephaden steamers.
A large dip net, with long handle, work

method Of restricting the evils OF
intemperance, the best plan that
could be adopted. Daily Journal
Yes, that's true. First, there are
about 35 saloon keepers, their
bar tenders and attaches. Then
there are multitude of Drinkers
few whom, not having yet tasted
the dregs of the cup they are pour
ing, are of the same opinion. Then
there are good many political
trimmer who, whether they real
ly think SO or not, yet affect to oc-
cupy the same position in order to
get the saloon vote. There may
be others. The last and only fair
test ever given, showed 4O1 voters
in favor of license and 800 voters
against, and all the women are in
favor of Prohibition. But that was

Mrs. Foster and our COtempOr-
aries.

Mrs, Fosters lecture, last week
does not seem to have pleased
either the Journal or the Sentinel.
We are sorry for them. The Daily
Journal, in an editorial of some
length, makes some rather severe
criticisms, and among other things
says:
"Her address was very entertain
ing, her arguments ingenious but
III part characterized by a species
of sophistry that upon mature and
careful reflection show them to be
untenable."
x X 4
"In short the lecture was ingen-
ious, entertaining, we'll delivered
and popular, but we can hardly say
it was logical, convincing, strong
or exhaustive.
We would be exceeding glad if
the Journal would point out a sim
gle instance of "sophistry" in her
address, and certainly the one
thing, for which the address was
remarkable, was, that it was Clog
ical, convincing, strong and exhaus-
tive" Whether conclusive or not,
each, however, must decide for him
self.
The Sentinel is grieved over the
dissertation of the House of God,
by bringing into it a "political
harrangue."
Oh the tender conscience of our
neighbor! However, if the speak
er's remarks had been aimed at the
Republicans of Iowa who have ia
ken strong grounds in favor of "a
school house on every hill top and
no saloon in the valley" instead
of against the Democrats who have
declared against prohibition in
that State, perhaps, the Sentinel
would have said nothing about it.
But, we are afraid the Prohi5i-
tionists can't please our cotempor-
aries. We trust, however, that
both of them are still in favor Of
giving the people chance to vote
on the question, and that is some
thing in their favor. They will
both be with us bye and bye when
they see where the people stand.

DAVE D. JOHNSON,


Chairman State Tenn. Elk. Com.
On motion and after free discus
sion the invitation was accepted
and the Convention unanimously
decided to meet in Parkersburg
next June in connection with the
State Temperance Convention, the
President to make announcement
when exact time is fixed.
On behalf of the Temperance
people of Parkersburg and of the
State, the editor of the FREEMAN
urged the largest possible attend
ance at this next grand gathering
of all the earnest Temperance
Workers of the State, bespeaking
for all who would come a warm
welcome and open doors to Par
kersburg homes.
The invitation was also as cor
daily extended to all the good
friends present from Mary land and
other States.
Mrs. Foster, of Iowa, being
present entered heartily into the
plan and arrangements for
NEXT YEARS GRAND RALLY.
She paid high compliment to Par
kersburg hospitality, speaking
from recent experience, and urging
all friends to ego and see"
The business of the West Virginia
Convention being finished. and the
hour arriving for the Lecture the
day, the President again introduce
ed the woman that erybody
wants to see and hear.
MRS. J. ELLEN FOSTER.
Every effort of Mrs. Fosters seems
to surpass and climax the last, and
give more scope to her remark
able gifts and powers. In this lee
ture she set out by treating of the
"Remedies," giving Moral training
as the remedy for the vice of In
temperance, the Savior, for the sin
of Intemperance and Prohibition
for the crime of the Liquor-traffic.
But we have no space now for
comments.
After the two hours feast, there
was a collection, adjournment, and
HURRYING TO THE TRAINS.
Compelled as we were to come
away in the midst of these splen-
did w. c. I. U. banquets, we can
give no more of the proceedings in
this issue, but having left a good
friend taking notes." our readers
shall be apprized of the good
things enjoyed during the remain

Glorious News from OhiO's Grand
Battle.

IT'S just glorious when the fight
is for the right and the fighters are
vigilant, brave and true. So is 1t
now in Ohio.
Every dispatch and courier coming
with tidings from the campaign
over the river, brings the most en-
couraging advices. Each successive
bit of news is even more thrilling
ly invigorating than the last and
comes to the watching and waiting
heart and soul Of every friend of
Temperance, as the earnest Of the
early answering Of the long prayed
prayer, GLOW Long, O Lord, How
Long!
The news, coming as we get it,
from friend and foe alike, shows a
general ground-swell, an unpre-
cedented tidalwave, a very revo-
luton in favor of the Prohibition
Amendment.
The whole situation has changed
front in the past few weeks.
The bi-furcated proposition that
was "cut bias" and out of political
emergency sent before the people
with one half intended to smother
the other half, has been unraveled
by the logic of events, and timid
"straddlers" are rapidly swinging
both legs over on the side of the
right and falling into line on the
Second Proposition.
The license masked battery con-
cealed in the Scott-Law sortie has
been spiked by the Supreme Court
decision, while the noble women
of the w. C. T. U. have discovered
and repulsed the willy Judases of
"Legislative control; that with
their false kisses and bags Of "rev-
enue" seek to gain wealth and
place from barter in innocent
blood.
The Commercial Gazette no longer
shoots contemptuous squibs
at prohibitionists, nor pirates
of the wonderful generosity
of the Republican party in grant.
ing the few "noisy fanatics" the
Mharmless boon of recording their
votes" and learning their own in
significance.
Neither does the Cincinnati En-
quirer longer serve up volumes o.
"Sumptuary" stuff for Democratic
dinners, but instead, gives its read
ers whole columns Of Temperance
Convention and Mass Meeting
news, about the moving of the Pro
hibition masses, and in effect if no.
by direct admonition, warns party
trimmers of the approach of the
organized hosts that are bearing
down like an avalanche, gathering
