MAHTOMEDI.

Good Templars to the FrOnt-Addresses by
Hon. Theo. ID. Kanouse, of Wisconsin,
and Col Long, of Kentucky-AIrs. Judith
Ellen Foster Makes an Eloquent Speech
in the Evening.
Prohibition matters were in allegiance,
yesterday, and the Good Templars took
charge at Mahtomedi. Grand Worthy
was unable to be present on account of the
dangerous illness of his wife. Resolutions
of sympathy were offered and adopted by
a rising vote. In his absence Worthy
Chief Templar Roberts, of Minneapolis,
took the chair. A fine temperance glee
was sung under the leadership of Prof.
Raymond, and after other opening exer-
cises, Mr.. Roberts made brief address, de-
failing the nature of the order, and claim
ing that it was the leading factor in tenn
perance work. He then introduced the
speaker for the morning hour, Theo. D.
Kanouse, charscterizing him as the
''noblest Roman of them all'' and the lead
ing Templar IN the world.
There is a difference in method from the
average temperance oratorIthat is refresh
what he is about to say. 1t was pronounc-
ed the ablest effort yet made on the
grounds. He began by reading an eulogy
on the order from the Milwaukee Sentinel,
which he stated was the bitterest enemy
of the cause in Wisconsin. He then gave
a review of temperance in some other
centuries, speaking especially of Russia,
and quoting extensively from the ukase
of the car, asking an officer of the govern
ment to investigate the grounds of intem-
perance and to recommend a cure.
The report inculcated total abstinence
and a severe rest riction of the traffic. The
Good Templar movement had spread into
other countries. Some years since the
speaker commissioned an agent to work in
Sweden, and now they have 10000 mem
bers in that country.
The order endeavors to develop the So
cial forces. Women and youth are brought
in, and about the convert are thrown in
fiuences to restrain and cure.
There are two principles on which the
order is founded, total abstinence
and prohibition. The Pioneer
Press asserts that prohibition
cannot be enforced. Well, let me read
from the report of Gen. Butler, when he
was special agent to investigate the ort-
RACES in the south. The report declares
that it is idle to attempt prosecutions; for
a jury could not be impounded, and the
prosecutor would endanger his life. 81
suppose" said the speaker, 'that our
friends would advise the abandonment of
free vote and fair count because of that
state of things" But it, interferes with
honest convictions to destroy this traffic.
we are told.
In rebuttal, the speaker recited an Incl
dent in the harbor of Charleston, where
the man who first fired on Sumpter gave
the novel salute to the stars and stripes in
his presence. He declared that the north
had interfered with the honest convictions
| of the South. and that the theory of this
country is that the will of the people is
supreme, and neither personal conviction
nor personal liberty can challenge
the will of the people en-
throned in law and engirdled
with constitutions. The afternoon meet
ing was addressed by Col. Long, after
prayer by Rev. w. W. Satterlee.
MAHToMEDI NOTES.
Mr.. Satterlee is the champion fisherman
whatever may be thought of his temper
ance, making a catch of forty fish in
au hour or two.
The hotel under the management of
Fisher q Green with Capt Tipe in charge
is now in complete running order and is
giving excellent satisfaction.
The restaurant is open and the accom-
modations on the ground are both excel
lent and ample for all who come.
Mr.. Dingle's boats are well managed
and the fishing on the Mahtomedi side, on
account of the depth of water, is the best
ia the lake.
At the evening session the eloquent lady
lawyer delivered a lecture. Mrs. Foster is
probably the most eloquent lady in Amer
lea. She will speak again this afternoon
and also tomorrow.
