Dedication of the Mission

Last evening the first of the series of
special services which are to be held in the
new quarters of the Gospel Temperance Mis-
sion every evening this week, dedicating them
to the services of Christ and temperance, was
held. There was large audience present
and if yesterdays meeting is any criterion
OF the Others they will be a grand success.
After several of the gospel hymns had
been sung, Rev. j. r. Crosser read the scrip
lures and was followed by Rev. G. n. DAN
iels in prayer, after which Rev. S. f. Pear
son in few brief remarks introduced Rev.
E. L. Pitts. who said the devil had quite an
extended work in this world and MANY
agents to do it, and that the fruits of evil
hung from almost every tree. He painted a
dark picture and asked if we could say God
speed to it. But he thanked God that it is
not all darkness but that glimpses of sun
shine like this Mission which has done so
much good under Rev. S. F. Pearson (him
self reformed NAM were spots of Gods
sunshine in this city. He said that by its
influence property was not destroyed but
protected; homes were not made desolate
but happy; hearts were not broken but glad
ness poured into them and lives saved. He
said the work speaks for itself; he could see
before him monuments of it-men who we're
once drunk in our streets were converted to
God and good citizens. He asked if this
happiness was due to the rum power. No:
it was only due to the power of the Lord
Jesus Christ. He enquired why so many
stood back from the work. Are they waiting
for something better to spring up? He rec
commended the Mission to the support of all
good people. Mr. Pitts address was very
interesting one and he closed by inviting all
to accept salvation through the Saviour.
Rev. j. X. Crosser was next introduced.
He congratulated Mr.. Pearson on possessing
such beautiful premises and said that the
city was indebted to the Mission, for it
helps to make our streets better and safer
and helps to tame men made wild with
drink. The police, said he, put such men in
prison and the Lord did not often work
through them; but this work took care of men
and pointed them to the Lamb of God,
Rev. G. III. Daniels made some very good
remarks and spoke in fattering terms of
how the Mission congregation used to sing
when next-door neighbors to the Second
Parish Church. He then told of his connec-
ton with the Gospel Mission in Brooklyn
and made powerful appeal to the unsaved
The singing was led last night by an orches-
ara of five pieces which added much to the
interest.
This evening will be devoted to temper
ance, and men who have been redeemed
from rum and converted to God through the
efforts of the Mission will address the meet
ing. Music will be furnished by the brass
Quartette- M. A. Bent and Miss Lena

How Scotland Light Ship Gained Its
Name

In the account of the late races between
the Puritan and Genesta, the Scotland light
ship in New York harbor has been FREQUENT
ly mentioned. Probably there are many of
the present generation who have no idea
now that name was obtained. 1t appears
that about twenty years ago the good ship
Kate Dyer of Portland, Capt, Leavitt-
OF the firm of Chase, Leavitt & Co., of this
city-was entering New York harbor after
quick run from Callao. At the same time
the steamship Scotland of the National line.
then the largest steamship out of New York
harbor, was leaving port for Liverpool. The
Scotland had an officer on her bridge who
was intoxicated, and owing to that fact the
steamer collided with the Kate Dyer off Fire
Island. The two vessels were wrecked and
thirteen passengers and members of the
crew on the Kate Dyer were drowned. The
Scotland foated over towards the shore and
later was barred, to keep vessels from run
ming into her, and a light placed on her.
hence the name of Scotland light ship

THE SCARCITY OF WATER.
What the Onlcer In Charge of the City
Supply Says About II.


Supply Says About 1t.
Lieut.. Med. Townsend, in charge of the
water department, stated to reporter for
The REPUBLICAN yesterday that his office
had been informed of the scarcity Of water
in the different sections Of the city, es-
peclally in the northwest and eastern parts.
1t was not due to the flushing out of the
water mains, fire plugs, or sewers, as this
work had been completed except In sewers,
as IL was essential to keep flow Of water
in them to have them clean and prevent
obnoxious smells. The reason Of the
scarcity was due altogether to the rapid
building improvements going on. During
the past few months over 1,5O0 water takers
in the northwest section Of the city
have been added to the already large num-
ber, and these additional calls on the water
service seriously saifected the pressure. 1t
was found that the water was consumed
almost rs fast as II was pumped, and some
times the pump could not keep up q sufll-
cient supply for the demand. Every effort
was being made TO benefit the people In the
sections complained, but he was afraid that
nothing satisfactory could be accomplished
until the completion of the new water
works He will soon experiment by cutting
off certain service pipes connecting with
the pump house and cndeavor by such
means to increase the water supply. He
was very anxious to have an equal distribu-
tion of water, and the department fully
realized the immediate wants Of the people
In this particular,
