TemDerance andthe Women.

Under the auspices OF the Womans'
Christian Temperance Union Of Napoleon,
Mr.. Will J. Mcconnell, of GENEVA, Ohio,
delivered a course OF temperance lectures
In this place last week. Mr.. Mcconnell IL
a forcible and fluent speaker, and at times
grows quite eloquent. He seems young
In years. has pleasing address, and his
utterAnces show him TO be sincere In the
cause he is advocating, in that Of securing
men, women and children TO sign the tenn
perance pledge. The lectures were quite
well attended, about as well as lectures
generally are in these parts.
The ladies seem to have taken new inn
petus in their cause, and have determined
to wage n warm campaign until after the
election in trying to get votes for the
second amendment in favor OF prohibit
tion. They show the mack and zeal of
politicians of both the older parties, and
have adopted methods Of furthering their
canvass learned from them. We do not
assert that the ladies would stoop to the
base and disruptable methods now being
put forth by the Republican party To fur
ther their cause, hut must admit that they
are good campaigners and that which they
do IL honorable and honest. Now let them
prevail upon their husbands to vote the
Democratic ticket next October and pos
terity will bless them for their work.
Mr.. Mcconnell gave the ladies assur-
ance that he will return at an early date
and deliver a lecture entitled Temper
ance and Politics." and after the lecture
organize a lodge OF Good Templsrs.

The lecture by Rev. W. J. Hodges, OF
Toledo, at this place on Monday evening
last, upon the prohibition amendment,
was clear expose of the whole subject,
and was listened to by large and appre-

is gaining ground. The stage Of ridicule
is past.

NEXT WEEKS EVENTS.
A Series of Good Things, embracing
Weeks Trip Without a Parallel
in Summer Excursions.

The interest in the grand series OF ex-
cursions over the B. Il o. to Baltimore.
Washington, Harper's Ferry, Luray Cav
erns, Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe,
Mount Vernon, &C., increases as the time
draws near. Certainly no such attractive
a programme has been offered bv any
great railway line for years. There is al .
most no end to the enjoyment provided.
or course Baltimore will he the base of on
erations: all the special trips named heing
from the Oriole city. The b. 4 O.'s tick
cts Will be good to Baltimore, and sold at
the half rate, that is to say, one regular
rare for the round trip. Once in Balti-
more, the excursionist may enjoy himself
at will. If he concludes to 90 on all the
special excursions he does SO and paws ac-
cordingly. If only part OF them, then he
pays for those and no more. II none of
them, then he pays tor none. This GER
tainly is the only fair basis upon which
such series of excursions could be ar
ranged, and must meet the endorsement
of all interested. Washington is only for
ty miles from Baltimore, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad running trains between
the two cities in the lightning time of fifty
minutes. The fare tor the round trip will
be onl y dollar and twenty cents. Balti-
more is already getting into her holiday
aVtire' stdnus are going up everywhere,
and as for illuminations and the general
lighting ofthe streets, nothing like it was
ever before attempted on the continent.
The idea of making the affair a summer
nights carnival was capital one, as not
only ar effects gained at night of q most
novel character, but time is given during
the day for excursionists to visit points Of
interest within and about the CITY. The
scene in the harbor on the night OF the ar
rival of Lord Baltimore will be something
to remember for years, while the mystic
pageant on the last night of the carnival
will be as a vision-a bright and wonder
ful dream. The Mystic Order of the Oriole
will issue programme on the opening
day ofthe festival, which for artistic beau.
ty, we'll written descriptive matter and
graphic portrayal of the pageant will be
wholly without precedent. 1t has been
Autographed in five colors, and is beauty
from any standpoint it may be considered.
AS it will be the only publication contain
ing the official programme details of each
day and views of the tableau cars, it will
be well for excursionists to make it a point
to secure copy Immediately upon the ar
rival in the city. The B. 4 o. is making
the most extensive preparations for the
transporting and perfect satisfaction ofthe
many who will go by the picturesque line
OF America.

Is 1t Yours :?

About two weeks ago two women drove
up to the residence of Mr.. VIM. Knox, of
Washington township, Paulding county,
and calling Mrs. Knox out informed her
that they had brought child which they
desired her to adopt, producing from un-
der their wraps three weeks old girl
baby, good looking and healthy. The wo-
men informed her that the child came
from Napoleon, but refused to divulge the
name OF its parents. Mr.. Knox took the
little waif in and the whole family soon
became warmly attached to her-so much
SO that to prevent her being taken from
them she was brought here last Thurs
day and all legal steps taken for her final
adoption. One of the women who brought
the child was an acquaintance of Mrs.
Knox and had heard her, several years
ago, express a desire to adopt a child
about the age of the one placed in her
charge, which has been christened Annie
