ed prayer. The Band Of Hope then
marched to the platform singing Brave
ana true as they came, Original prize

behalf of MithelI w. G. 4. u. by Mr..
Laurence Presbyterian Pastor in behalf
Of The churches, and Judge Edgerton
for the people. Among other good
thi1,rs Mr. ! arrhnnp said.
"These churches give you q most
cordial greeting in the name OF the
Master. Indeed the evangelical church
Of different names bids the w. G. L. U.
welcome and God speed everywhere.
The union is but the daughter OF the
evangelical church. In welcoming her
she is only welcoming a estimable and
beloved member OF her own household.
The church has observed with JOY and
affection the noble work the union IS
doing. 1t is not Hattery but truth to
say that there has never before risen
and association Of Temperance workers
who have adopted SO natural and
ordinarily such judicious means for
promoting the great ends Of temper
ance as have the w. =. L. ". The
movement under the w. Z. l.. Y. is
full of hope for the world. When
woman rose for GOD and nome and
native land notice was served on the
King of darkness that one had entered
the arena who would impede his work
and as finally overcome and cast out
the deamon of drink. God bless the
Nv. c. 4. U. more and more. You are
most welcome in the churches OF olr.
city"
Judge Edgerton highly commended
the work Of the w. G. T. u. in it's
various lines, especially the new de-
partment of social purity, which ed
ucates that not only 'Ceasers wife"
but Ceaser himself must be above
suspicion An operate duet was
rendered by Miss Davenport, and Mr.
Curtis of Chicago and the meeting
closed with the Denediction.

Farmers should look over the differ
ent breeds and herds Of cattle in the
country often during the season and
inform themselves from their own
observation of their value as to all
properties and qualities for which
they wish to raise stock: whether Tor
milk, butter, cheese or beef or for all
combined. Weigh and measure the
cattle ard their products and compare
one kind with that Of another kind
1t will add to our intelligence.

Eating Pie On a Wager.

Seven fat cherry pics. each nearly q
foot in diameter, rested in rs many
plates in row on high, narrow table
in Quaker City hall, Broad street and
Columbia avenue, on Thursday night,
says the Philadelphia Record. Nearly
three hundred members of Apollo senate,
Knights of Sparta, sat watching the pies
curiously. The senate, which had just
held its quarterly meeting, had got
through with its business and the scrat-
ors were awaiting the announcement OF
the committee on amusemcnts. OF which
Mir. w. j. McWaters was chairman.
The pics did not suggest to them what
sort of an entertainment had been pre-
pared, but when seven hungry looking
newsboys filed into the room and began
also to eye the juicy pastry it was evil
dent what was about to happen. 1t was
pie-eating match, and the boy who,
without the aid of knife, fork, or fingers,
devoured his PIE was to receive 81 in
cash in addition to the 80 cents he had
been paid TO enter the contest. The
seven pies had been made TO order, and
were fairly bursting with the rich and
ruby contents. Mr.. McWaters tied each
boys hands firmly behind his back, and
then stated the condition of the match,
which were that the pastry should be
eaten from the plates, each boy to Ego
us you please" but without in any way
assisting each other. Ii the plate fell
upon the floor, and the pie did not
tumble out of it, the contestant could
get down on all fours and continue in
the list. At signal seven heads were
ducked into seven plates, and such n
devouring of cherry pie commenced as
was never witnessed before in the neigh
borhood. When the line of faces were
turned up after the first attack to masti-
cate the enormous mouthfuls the spec
tators exploded into roar OF laughter.
Blood-red noses and chins and mouths
with patches of pie-crust sticking all
over them made such Il grotesque sight
that one of the stout members OF the
senate burst his buttons off. One of
the contestants had pulled his plate off
on the floor and was on his knees, Bit
ing away in most furious manner.
The contest lasted five minutes, by
which time James Dougherty, a lad OF
Is had eaten up every crumb, licked his
plate clean, and looked like painted
devil in pantomime. Two of the boys
had lost their pastry on the floor, and
the other four finished in half u minute
after the champion had called ''timc. !"
He was presented with silver dollar,
made bow, said he would match him
self against the town as rapid con-
sumner of pie, and retired with his de-
feated companions to washtub.

at Washington with the testimony Of
Il. v. Powderly. He stated certain
abuses along the Missouri Pacific road
in the way of exactions for q hospital
fund; declared that nothing of a vio-
lent nature was ever counseled by the

should soon be able to suggest legisla-

The st. Lawrence river rose at Mon
treal Sunday to far greater height
than ever known before. The greater
part of the wholesale and manufacture
ing sections of the city are inundated
to depth of from three to eight feet
deep, boats and RATS being utilized TO
get in or out of houses in the western
half of the city. Thouands of oper-
shut up in their houses will have to be
provided for by the city authorities UNI
til the floods subside and business is
resumed. The loss TO the citizens will
be immense.
While eight kegs Of powder were be-
ing unloaded from q Northwestern
freight car III Cllnt0nville, Wis. a sud-
den explosion occurred. which blew the
Car into thousand pieces and wrecked
the adjoining cars and the freight de-
pot. Arthur Edwards, the station
baggageman, was instantly killed, and
James Ringwood, telegraph operator,
SO badly wounded that lie died before
noon. George Storm, q trucllman, was
injured internally and will die. George
HOllister, conductor j. Gagnon, a

were badly wounded but will recover.
The powder had been billed through

In lecture before tile Political
Science association Of the M chigan
university, Judge Thomas Nj. Cooley
gave particular attention to the labor
question. He opposes despotic rem
edieS, and believes that strikes, having
evil consequences, stand in the way of
progress. Each party should respect
the object of employment. thus making
it mutually beneficial. Lawsuits are
TO be avoided rs breaking The. spirit of
confidence which should exist. He
considers arbitration the oldest and
best remedy, although it is most sue
cessful i'll fOrei9n governments and
does not always please the democratic
independence of the American. He
advocated permanent board of con-
trOl, such rs is III vogue in England, to
be made up equally from both classes.

It Ii now taken for granted In the select
social circles here that President Cleveland
will wed Miss Frances Folsom, the belle Of
Buffalo, at some time during the coming
summer. The Folsoms are abroad, but they

unlikely that the President Will be married
during his midsummer vacation, and spend
his honeymoon In the quiet OF Northern
New York. The one who will lose by the
Presidents marriage will be Miss Rose

dence over the wives Of prominent officials.

up her position here AMI return to the more

writing Miss Cleveland has found very
little opportunity for literary work since
coming to Washington, and, having great
ambition In that direction, will naturally
find pleasure in returning to the quieter
pursuits of private life. There has been q
great demand here for the picture of Miss
Folsom within the last few days, but none
of the photographers here has been able to
