PULPIT AND PLATOON

At the State street church in the evening
Mrs. Sarah Mclaughlin spoke in behalf of the
work undertaken by the "Woman's National
Temperance Union" The pastor Rev. Mr..
Ba9ley, with appropriate words, introduced
the work, and the speaker as representative
OF the Boston Woman's National Temperance
Union" Mrs. Mclaughlin spoke of the de-
sign of the Prilgrim Fathers to establish reli-
gious liberty on this shore, and their success,
then the success of the Revolutionary Fathers
in establishing civil liberty. Then came the
snti-slavery struggle, and the war to make
freedom universal. And now has come the
struggle against the cause of intemperance.
Never has there been more important hour
In the struggle than the present. Especially is
it critical time in this State. The people
will be called upon next September to vote
upon the question OF Prohibitory Constitu-
tional amendment; and the speaker offered
several reasons why such an amendment
should b. adopted. One reason is because the
enemies of temperance affirm that our pro-
hibitory law is total failure. We should
show by our vote that we are in earnest about
the law. Some affirm that prohibition itself
is not complete success. But we could not
expect entire success in twenty-five years. But
vast progress has been made. Again consti-
tutional amendment would dignity the prohib-
itory law so 1t ls important that cur State
should adopt the amendment. There are two
obstacles that meet US. A large class of peo-
pie, friendly to temperance, are too apt to be
discouraged by the words of the croakers.
These croakers say that public sentiment is not
ready for the amendment; and that bat little
has been done. But every good thing is to be
worked for, and we must look on the bright
side and push on the work.
But how false is the statement that but lit
tie has been accomplished; when Lyman
Beecher first spoke in favor of temperance
sixty or seventy years ago, he was ridcn led
and criticized by ministers and laymen. Now
ministers, physicians and philanthropists are
working for prohibition. What glorious
change has come in many of the states Prohi-
bi'ion is advancing in all the land Ii public
sentiment is not ready for this constitutional
amendment, then we are to work to make it
ready. But the Home" is the objective point
of the Woman's Temperance Union, for in the
home is laid the foundation for ali great re-
forms. Mothers and fathers should feel the
vital Importance of intoxicating temperance
principles in the minds of their children in
their earliest years. The speaker closed with
an earnest appeal to her hearers to give their
influence and active support to the great work
OF temperance reform. Mrs. Mclaughlin is
an earnest and eloquent speaker, and her ad-
dress was listened to with deep interest by the
large congregation present.

Cakes wi,bou, Esys.

In a little book just issued from the press of
Messrs. Scribner & Wexford, New York, a
large number Of practical, though novel, re-
ceipts are given for making cakes of various
kinds, from the informal griddle cake to the
stately bride.cake, without eggs, by the use of
the Royal Baking Powder. Experienced
bousekeepers inform us that this custom has
already obtained large precedence over old
fashioned methods in economical kitchens,
and that the product is frequently superior to
that where eggs are used, and that less butte r
is also required for shortening purposes. The
advantage is not alone in the saving effected,
but in the avoidance of the trouble attendant
upon securing fresh eggs and the annoyance of
an occasional cake spoiled BY the accidental in
PRODUCTION of an egg that has reached little
too nearly the incubatory period. The Royal
Baking Powder also invariably insures per-
fectly light, sweet and handsome cake, or

enables their production in the shortest posi-
BILE space of time, and makes them most tender
and delicious, as well as entirely wholesome

ance of $12.66 remaining in the treasurer's
hands, and all bills paid up to May 1, 1884.
There were 800 pounds of cooked and knocked

nished with good Thanksgiving turkey din
nsrs. All this money and provisions has been
judiciously expended except S., and Mr.. Pear

Mr.. Pearson is aware that he has done and is
doing a splendid work in the cause of human
ity.

Mission, but in order to keep himself free from
debt he was obliged to do SO. He made
strong appeal to his hearers to support the
Mission at all hazards. An effort should be
made to keep Mr.. Pearson, for Portland can
i'll afford to lose him and have the Mission
closed.

The Washington correspondent Of the Ad-

reason to think that the Lighthouse Board
will probably substitute a light of the third
order for the fourth class light on Portland
Head. 1t appears from the correspondence
mentioned in the recent report OF the board,
submitted in response to Senator Hale's en-
quiry, that Col. Blunt, in 1882, recommended
a third order light, viii III, though much less
expensive than the former light of the second
order, is greatly superior to the fourth order
light, and will probably prove entirely salts,

POLO AT BATH-ALAMEDAs 3; BAY STATES q
On Saturday night last, an exhibition game
was played in Bath between the Bay State
club of Chelsea, who are the acknowledged
champions of New England, and the Alame-
das, tho champions of this State. The game
lasted including FOULS two hours and forty
minutes. At the close of the fourth inning
the clubs were ever, two and two. At this juno
ture the Bay States insisted upon calling it a
draw game On the ground that some of their
men we're disabled, and withdrew; but the
Asamedas insisted upon finishing the play or
be allowed the game. Finally the Bay States
concluded to come again on the floor and after
an exceedingly sharp contest were fairly beat
en-.
1t was conceded to be the hardest as we'll az
the longest contested game ever played IN this
country. Mr.. Morse was referee and G. A.
Cook and e. W. Grant judged for the Bay
States and j. NJ Taylor and 2. T. Phinney for
the Alamedas. The first goal won by the Al
amedas was won BY Haggett; second by Dam
ming and third by Norton.
The Bay States went home expressing per-
feet satisfaction with their treatment.
1t is fact that in Boston, pools had been
selling 500 to $15 on the Bay States.
The Bay States have played 68 games previ-
GUS to this OF which they won SO.

MUSIC AND DRAmA.
THE THOMAS coNcER,

Tonight, Theodore Thomas, with his cele-
brated orchestra OF sixty musicians, will occu-
by City Hall. It is several years since Mr.,
Thomas has complimented Portland with
visit, although at one time he was not SO charv
of his favors. OF late the Boston Symphony
Orchestra has been the most complete instru-
mental organization our citizens have listened
to. 'You think great deal of Henscbel's or-
chestra," said a New Yorker "but wait until
your ears catch once again, the unapproacba-
ble strains of Thomass." After such triumph
as the Thomas Orchestra have achieved in the
Wagner Festival, we may well await with i'm
patience the treat which we know is in store
for us this evening. The Programmes was
to have been expected-is one of the best, and
embraces several great novelties, noticeably
the Wagnerian numbers. Mr.. Toedt will fa.
vor his audience with Sigismund's Love Song,
and Mr.. Remmertz with "Wotan's FAREWELL,
from "Die Walkure," and Pogner's address
from "Die Meistersinger." Miss Juch will be
heard in LISTS "Di Lorelei." Miss Wnant
in the InadnlnadtuS from "Stabat Mater" and
the orchestra in Beethoven's great G minor
symphony and Berlicz's "Damnation of
Faust" Parties will attend the concert from
as far east as Waterville, and west as Kittery.
The Haydn Association will not hold their
meeting tonight on account of the concert.
THE RoMANY RYE.
Two brotheY named Royston make impru-
dent marriages. Ono marries beautiful gyp-
sey, who leaves him and returns with their
child to her tribe. This child becomes Jack
Hearn, the "Romany Rye" or "Gentleman
Gypsey." The mother and child are supposed
to be dead, and the father marries second
time, leaving a child, the issue of the mar.
riage, named Philip, heir to the property The
other brother marries a poor girl, and dies,
leaving daughter named Gertie, in the care
of her grandfather, old bird fancier, and
heiress to his estate. The Romany Rye knows
his relationship to Philip, and is also in love
with Gertie, and Philip knows Gertie's pros
pects and wants to marry her. Philip pursues
Gertie everywhere, and Jack manages to pro-
tect her. and at last all comes out right.
Among the beautiful scenes presented in the
play are Hampton race course, the bird fan
cer's in Little Queer street, the moonlight
scene on the Thames, and Craignest. There
will be 70 people in the cast, at Portland The
tire tonight, and a troupe of real gypsies.
