For THE RECORD
THE WORK OF TEMPERANCE.


The good work of temperance is march
ing onward slowly but surely. 1t is not
generally known throughout this section,
that the Society of Friends are taking
very active part in this cause Their
yearly meeting was held in Philadelphia,
Pa, from the 18th to 18th of fifth month,
1888. This meeting has joint commit
tee ON intoxicating beverages. During
their session they received nearly one
hundred communications, giving inter
esting reports from as many committees
appointed throughout the respective coun-
ties on this subject. Their reports were
in most cases, very encouraging, having
been favored with able and gifted speak
ers. Their past years report represents
that much time, labor and means have
been expended, leaving large field Of
work yet before us, requiring q great
amount of labor aud expense, before the
grand end is attainable. The various
committees were continued and encourag-
ed to bestow all labor and attention pos
sible to the cause, as Divine wisdom may
direct. The committees were also direct
ed to draw on the treasury of the yearly
meeting, for necessary expenses incurred
in their good work
A well written pamphlet prepared by n
member of the Society of Friends, headed
"The Mischief Cider Does" was received
by the general committee and heartily APP
proved. Several thousand of these copies
were ordered printed for distribution,
particularly among their own Society.
A meeting under the care of one of
these committees, was held at Solebury
Meeting House, on first day (Sabbath) af-
ternoen, the 18th inst. The meeting was
we'll attended, many coming from long
distance. Lambertville Friends were also
well represented. There was much earn
estness manifested, more than had been
exhibited at any former like occasions.
Samuel Swain, of Bristol, Pa, commenced
the exercises by reading well prepared
statement, giving many solid facts and

the States, in the way of prohibition. One
of the states passed a law compelling
Boards of Education to introduce text
books, showing the young pupils the
evil effects of tobacco and alcohol on the
physical system, while in another state
men are obliged to pay license of SO per
annum, for the privilege of indulging in
strong drinks.
The President of Swarthmore College,
E. H. Magill, presented some telling facts.
dwelling mostly on the evil effects of to-
bacco, showing how closely it was con-
nected with strong drinks. He gave not
only the experience of many prominent
physicians, but his own experience with
students, showing wherein their moral as
we'll as the intellectual standing, was seri-
ously affected by the use of narcotics--to-
bacco. Short speeches and many well di.
rected remarks were made by Samuel
Swain, George Ridgeway, of Philadel
phia, Hugh b. Eastburn, William Lloyd
Eastburn Reeder, J. Hayhurst and others
Anna G. Atkinson read an appropriate
essay. Matilda Reeder favored us will
recitation, very suitable to the occa
sion. Next meeting will be held a

n. RITTENH0USE.

There are few readers, of THE RECORD
who have not something of an idea con-
corning the business enterprise in which
the above named gentleman is engaged,
and yet we doubt if it is generally known
that to Mr.. Rittenhouse is due the credit
of having made the musical instrument
business what it is in Lam6ertville. No
longer ago than seven years no one here
paid especial attention to this department
of trade Mr.. Rittenhouse believed anu
steal Instrument business could be made
successful, and so ho attempted the ex-
pertinent. AT that time the world famed
Estey organ was almost without com
petitor, and Mr.. r. accepted an agency
for its sale in this city and vicinity. He
had selected an instrument that was
above criticism, and it was, We doubt not,
with a feeling of qualification that he saw
the demand for organs gradually grow
under the painstaking care he exercised.
These seven years have certainly wit
messed many changes /; the enterprise TO
which we allude has expanded, and not
house, but he now is agent here for
eight leading makes of organs-such
makes as the Estev, the Sterling, the
Geo. Woods, Burdette, Mason & Hamlin,
Wilcox e. White and others. The sale of
pianos has also become feature of the
business, and while Il speciality Is made of
the "Schomaker," yet any other of the
leading Instruments will be furnished at
the lowest rates.
There is this difference between buying
an organ or piano of Mr.. Rittenhouse or
purchasing from a travelling salesman.
In the first place he is n citizen of Lam
bertville whose interests are all here !;
secondly he is so well known in eonnec-
ton with the musical instrument business
that it is n conceded fact that every re-
presentation he makes concerning an in.
strument can be relied upon thirdly, he
buys every instrument-does not do Il
commission business, and SO can sell at
small advance over manufacturers rates.
His sphere of operations is in llunterdon
CO., N j. and Bucks Co, Pa, and the
better to meet the needs of his Pennsyl
vania trade he has established branch
house NJ New Hope, which is under the
personal charge of Il. G. Vert. The New
Hope house carries even u larger stock of
Instruments than the parent house here,
but either establishment is prepared to
supply any reasonable demand.
Mr.. Rttenhouse sells organs either for
cash or upon the instalment plan, and
in either case he can be relied upon to act
honorably by every patron. lie does not
find much time, except evenings, to de
vote to the business himself, for he is en-
ployed by the Lambertyille Rubber Co.,
and for the past fourteen years has been
tho bookkeeper of that company. All
the same, he is thoroughly cognizant Of
the business actions of his employees, and
he has so managed his business as to ad-
vance it to a point deserving of moro than
word of praise but deserving of pa
trenage even more liberal than that which
has been accorded it, in times past.

Common Council.
A meeting of the Common Council was
held on last Saturday evening, the OBJ
ject of it being, that some doubts having
arisen upon a technical point in regard to
the passage Of the two ordinances regard
ing the liquor traffic, it was deemed best
to recall them from the hands of the
Mayor aud act upon them again, to insure
legality. This was done and the ordi-
nances were taken up, reconsidered, on
their third and final reading and then
passed as before.
An invitation was given to the Council,
which was extended to all interested, to

Walking Match.

Farmer Wallace arrived in the city yesterday
morning and immediate ly upon his arrival pro-
ceeded to the Atheneum to take his introduc-
tory look at that mammoth public pleasure
house. His first impulse was to jump upon the
stage beside the piano and sing one Of bis choice
operatic selections, but when about the center
of the room happy thought flashed athwart the
ex-editor's Imagination and he dashed around
the hall with fierce, O'Leary tread Now he has
challenged Denny Hannifn to six days walk
ing match aad is waiting for an acceptance be-
fore going into training. Farmer Wallace, as a
boomer, stands peerless and alone; inaginatlvely
speaking, he is without rival; in high ethereal
soaring on the virtues of Dakota be Can down
any man in the territory, but if Denny cont
walk the enthusiasm out of him in two days
years of practice and dead game proclivltles
are of no avail.

The PRESBYTERIAN SOciable,


Fully $50 persons attended the Presbyterian
sociable given by Mrs. E. H. Bly, in the spacious
parlors of the Sheridan house last evening. The
evening was spent in conversation, in listening
to recitations by Mrs. w. II. Francis, singing by
Mr.. Sig. Hanauer, Miss Haight and Miss MiDnie
Stoyel, instrumental music by Mrs. Goff, an
essay by Miss Elsie Swain, etc. At 10 o'clock
the doors of the dining room were thrown open
and the guests were invited to take seats at the
we'll loaded tables and partake. Every seat at
every table was occupied and score or moro
were obliged to wait. TIE tables were loaded
with fruits, confections and other delicacies-a
repast tina. would have reflected honor on any
occasion in any eastern city-the generous dona-
ton of Mrs. Bly,. The ladies who organized the
mite society years ago have reason to feel proud
of the proportions to which their society has
grown and they see in this occasion accumulat-
ing proof of the necessity for larger church
structure and evidence of the growth Of Bis
marck. The new pastor, Rev. c. B. Austin,
finds we'll organized and prosperous society
and Judging from indications last evening his
charge appreciate his worth and ability and will
sustain him in every effort to build up the So
ciety and increase its capacity for making peo-
pie wiser, better aud happier.

Hundreds of invitations have been scattered
over this city calling attention to the nightly
opportunities to hear the gospel Of our Lord.
containing Glad tidings of Salvation Man il
born to die and after this the Judgment Those
who come to Christ thall live. Those who will
not come to him shall perish. God has 20 de-
clared it, and who can change it? He will stand
by His word. He would not be God if He did
not. An important question is asked-'What
doth it profit man If he gain the whole world
and lose his own soul? When that man dies he
can not take the world with him, and if worldly
wealth is the foundation, he shows his folly by
having built upon the sand. Salvation is offered
today based on the atonement of Jesus Christ
and those who come to Him shsll not perish
but have eternal life.' No excuse will be 40
cepted, on the ground that We did not believe in
the bible, or the Christian religion, when We
stand before God in the Judgment day. Let
God be true, but every man liar, is the doc
trine of inspiration. But when we refuse to
believe Gods word and Gods witnesses, We
accuse HIM of fslsehood. Those who desire to
be :on the Lords side'-as veil as tho:e who are
willing to accept instruction, and of the word of
God requested to attend the meetings, now
in progress each evening this week, in the Bap-
tist church. Rev. F. E. Bostwick breaches tho
wosd with clea~ness and with power. Further
more-if Gods people expect Revival in Bis
marck they must labor as we'll as pray to this
end. Confess our waywardness and return unto
us and grant us a blessing. Pray that it may

Revival Meetings.

The Rev ]. B. Deckard sends in commune
cation (modesty on the part of the TRIBUNE
preventing its publication in toto) thanking
this paper for its assistance in the cause OF reli-
gion. The TR1BuNE's recent local heading, I'VE
have been booming real estate and the business
interests of the city of Bismarck, Row let us
boom the churches, is warmly commended and
its good effect upon the revival meetings now
being held at the Baptist church admitted. The
reverend gentleman says he fails to comprehend
better thing for our hourlshlng metropolis
than the interest the TRIBUNE takes IN these
church matters. The gentleman extends hearty
thanks for the publication of communications
from his pen relating to the church, and regrets
that more communications from the clergy and
others of the city are not sent In.
Rev. Deckard winds up his letter as follows:

The Storms Subsiding.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22.-The railroads damaged
by yesterdays storm in southern Illinois and
southeastern Missouri are getting into shape
again. The Ohio and Mississippi, Indianap-
oils and st. Louis, Cairo Short Line and
Cairo Narrow Gauge are running with
but little interruption, but the Louisville Air
Line has been obliged to abandon trains. The
Louisville and Nashville has one or two bad
washouts which have greatly delayed traffic.
Iron Mountain trains are also greatly
delayed but the main line is
restored again. and trains are running. The
storm seems to have subsided in all directions.
Greeks and rivers are falling, and the damages
to roads and bridges can be fully repaired in
day or two. At late hour last night, Rlchland
creek, which runs through Belleville, ILL.,, broke
through into Winters coal mine near town, with
great force and volume. At last accounts live
active and six abandoned mines were
flooded to such an extent that they will
probably never be used again. The
active mines are known as the Greenfield,
Beatty, Western, Taylor and Klockson's They
were working about 200 men. All the mines
are connected with each other, and all, therefore
shared the same fate. Loss on machinery and
general outfit estimated at $4,000.
