The Women Discussing the Drinking Vice and
How to Suppress 1t.

Yesterday being set apart by the managers at
Bethany Park as Temperance day" quite a
number of workers in the prohibition cause
were present from Indianapolis, including Mrs.
r. 7. Brown, Mrs. Nichols, president of the State
w. G. T. u, Miss Sadie E. Reed, Mrs. DR.. Sid
don, Mrs. Lotion and Mrs Mollie G. Hay. Dur
ing the opening exercises the 10th Psalm was
read, which is called the Crusade Psalm
because it was read just before the temperance
women of Hillsboro, O., started on the first
crusade in the streets eleven years ago. Mrs.
DR.. Brown spoke on the subject of Communion
Wine'-inslsting that it should be the pure,
unfermented juice of the grape.
Mrs. Nichols delivered a lecture prepared for
the purpose of refuting the claim that beer
stimulates good fellowship, and the statement
that the substitution of mild drinks will lessen
the drinking of stronger fluids, the claim that
licensing the manufacture Of beer increases the
government revenue and the claim that beer is
the poor mans friend.
In the afternoon Mrs Nichols spoke on ''The
Social Problem" Inc vices of all nations are
flowing in upon US in this country. The church
IS being aroused to the danger and is giving
loud warning. The American people need well
to stop and consider this problem. and the better
way to solve it. We need to take heed to the
c!OuO, now so small IN our horizon, indicating
turmoil and anarchy. No nation has continued
to flourish after the people became imbued with
the idea that liberty" is but another name for
license" The rescuing of the children is the
nearest solution of the problem.
Short speeches by different persons in the
audience closed the exercises of the day.
By mistake in yesterdays Journal it was
stated that the lecture on Garfield would be
delivered to-day" Friday is the day for
the meeting of the Ministerial Associa
ton; Saturday, the lecture on the life
of James A. Garfield by the pastor Of
the church he attended in life; and Sunday,

Murray has right to recover 5000 earnest mon
ey paid to A. NJ. DeSouchet to secure the pur-

SOME POINTS or COMPARIsON

Those who have made up their minds that
there can be no condition OF weather in which
the American soop-yac Puritan will not
prove superior to her British rival the cutter
Gcncsta, will find something worth thinking
about IN n careful comparison of the records OF
Mondays race. II is to be remembered that
during the beat against the wind from Staplc,on
down to Buoy No. of Sandy Hook the sca
was very calm aud the breczo light. These CON
diliOns are universally recognized as favorable
for q model sach as the Puiitan's and as adve, So
TO the deep heavily balasied cuticr From
Buoy No. 8 to the lghtship and back again the
yachts encountered brisk twclye-knut wind
and the sea was pretty lively. These are con-
ditions supposed generally to favor cutter as
against slOop. In the race from the start to
the buoy oil the Hook during the prevalence of
the light wind the Puritan beat the Gcnesta G
minutes and % seconds. Dur ng the race
from the buoy to the hghlship the cutie,
time was less than the sloops by ten seconds
and back from the lghtship to the buoy
again the Genesta made AZ seconds better
time. These facts tend TO show that so long as
anything of q breeze lasted the British boat was
superior TO the American champion.
Another fact is significant, and seems to imply
that Sir Richard Suttons vessel was more
skiliully handled during one portion of the
race than the Boslonian. Alter the long slictch
out from Clifton the Puritan went about to
starboafd below Dix Island, and thence TO Buoy
No. 10 on the Southwest Spit she made eight
| short tacks. These legs consumed / hour, IL
minutes and 22 seconds. From similar point
below Dix Island TO the same buoy, the Gencsta
made four long tacks, sailing very close to
the wind and completing the distance down TO
| the buoy in minutes and 81 seconds less tn
