Fullerton, 18th District.-Our literary So
ciety met last Wednesday at the residence of Mr.
Jesse Fowler and all the members participated
president. The subjects the following .
"Fish," telegraph" counting" "cattle-cars," :"
"wood," "vessels," "water," Capitalists" &c.
Mr.. Jesse Fowler was selected to decide who made
the best argument and his decision was in favor
of Mr.. VIM. III. Councilman, who had "wood" for
his subject. After the members had all spoken,
Mr.. Jos. German took up the subject of "capital-
ists," which had been referred to by one of the
members, and spoke quite freely upon it, stating
that nearly one half of the land in the United
States was in the hands of capitalists, who were
trying to "crush the poor man, thereby driving
the country to certain destruction. He also read
some laws that he had drawn and intended send
ing to the Legislature.
While Dr. S. V. Mace was paying q visit to Mr.
J. C. Councilman, last Sunday evening, his horse
became unfastened and started for home, but be-
fore going far he came in contact with fence and
while trying to turn around overturned the buggy,
fortunately doing but slight damage.
The March "lon" has been roaring for the last
few days to such extent that the people of this
vicinity are content to sit by their fre-side dur
ing the day and lay in bed late in the morning.

] @s-A number of Baltimore newspaper men
and hotel propretors paid a visit to Atlantic
City on Sunday last, by the Pennsylvania railroad.
They left Union Station on Saturday night IN
special cars, in charge of Mr.. George De Haven,
the genial and indefatigable Baltimore represen-
tative of the passenger department of this great
system of railroads. After a most delightful trip
the company reached the city by the sea on Sun
day morning in time for breakfast and spent the
day inspecting the many splendid hotels and
other places of interest. One of the chief objects
of attraction was the new and improved sewage
system, which has lately been introduced there,
and which does away with the practice-common
at other seaside resorts-of emptying the crude
sewage into the ocean, which is dangerous to
health and more than disgusting to bathers The
party was spIcndidly entertained and returned to
Baltimore on Monday morning in time for busi-
ness

M9- At the late convention of the National Ed
ucational Association, held in Washington, Mr.
Warren Highly, of New York, read paper on
"Forestry in Education" He spoke of the wanton
destruction of forests in oil parts of the world and
strongly urged the Importance of instruction In
the elements of tree culture in the public schools
and the observance of Arbor Days in all cities and
towns in the country. This is indeed an impor-
tant subject and one that must attract attention
in this country in very few years.

This Settles It.-Under the caption "a SIAN

"THE BALTIMORE COUNTY UNION, that is frequent
ly saying something funny about Hartford, and
especially of the virtue we make of temperance,
had the impudence, last week to publish face
tious story about drummer, who was the agent
for wholesale whisky house, doing thriving
business in Hartford. Our brothers seem to have
forgotten that we have a local option law here,
and that the sale Of whisky is absolutely pro-
hibited. To charge US with patronizing whisky
house is SANDER on our people, and our friends
across the Gunpowder should consider the pros
pective fate of their slenderous contemporary in
Cecil that now has libel suit to defend in con-
sequence of some frivolous remarks about our pro-
hibition neighbors over the Susquehanna. There
is nothing that will put US so much out of humor
as to say we buy and sell whisky over here when,

Social Purity" The meeting was held
under the auspices of the White Cross
league, of st. Paul. Miss Willard was an
nounced on the card to speak, but for some
reason she was not present and Mrs. E. ID.
Bradley, of London, England, who is en-
gagged in the work of the Social Purity"
league made the principal address. Assistant
Bishop Gilbert, of Christ church. was down
for the opening address. He was prevented
from being present and Rev. S. j. Ander-
son filled his place. After the reading
of Scripture by Rev. Mr.. Christie,
and an invocation by Rev. X. +.
McLarsn. Mrs. Bradley was introduced.
In her address she took occasion to give some
interesting bits of English social history,
which rendered her address much more at
tractive. Her attention was first drawn to
the subject by the law which at the time
punished women for violating the seventh
commandment, but allowed men who vio-
lated it to go without punishment. This
matter was agitated till a reform was made.
She gave a somewhat striking picture of
the state of society in London, and how
young girls were enticed away and ruined.
The frequency with which this infamous
business is carried on as she described it is
terrible. This lady is very pleasant
speaker and kept the attention of the audi
ence for over an hour. She will speak
again in st. Paul.

mr. Hewitt wants TO BE President

Joe Howard in Boston Globe.
Mr.. Hewitt is wild on the subject of the
presidency and has been for years. He
has an idea that the direct road to WASH
ington leads from A albany, and in order to
get there as governor he must first serve
here as mayor. Well, it is more than half
right. If he could be elected mayor and
give us an honest as well as an efficient
ruling, he would be strong guDernatorial
candidate, and no mistake. don believe
Gov. Hill had much to do with Hewitts
selection. He is not building up rivals
this year. Mr.. Hewitt is a weak. strong
man-that is, while he is stubbornly honest
and fearless for what he believes TO be
right, he is even more under the influence
of his associates than his brother-ln-iaw,
Edward Cooper. and that's saying a
great deal. | am in doubt as to the sim
certy of Henry Georges friends. Exper-
fence has taught us that the so-calied labor
vote depends too much on the swing OF the
dollar pendulum on the day OF election, and
l fear George will be sold out by some OF
the loudest of his champions. The fact is
we are fast drifting into caste campaign
That Mr. Hewitt came of humble origin
| is a fact, but for thirty years he has been
very rich. and always an associate OF cap

Henry George on the other, ana tnere Is no

''I've heard talk of the witchery Of

until last night" said Dansville young
man in confidential chat with friend.
What happened then?"

tell you. You know I've been little
spoony on Old --'s daughter for a
while. on the sly. Last night we stood
just inside the gate. saying goodnight, you
know, and taking in the moonlight, and so
forth, when all at once the witchery began
to show itself, and something of a weighty,
vOuminOuS character introduced itself in
the region of my coat-tail, with thulnp
that sent my hat on an aerial expedition,
aud landed me outside the gate on the side
walk.
Not sound was uttered. save little
scream from the girl, followed by series
of sobs. which gradually died away as she
retreated to the house, evidently impelled by
the same witchery that had superinduced
my sudden flight. | found soft place on
the grass to sit down, and waited until
my hat came down again, keeping my eyes
peeled for more witch fy of moonlight
demonstrations, but none came.
From this judge that the witchery of
moonlight don't manifest much interest in
mortals unless they are in couples, and
then it may be necessary to Introduce third

Hennepin county Jail for thirty days. Lewis
