mrs. Drake on Moral culture

The ladies of Portland were privileged
y esterday afternoon to listen TO the third
lecture from Mrs. Drake. Subject: Moral
Culture. The mothers responsibility is
heightened by the fact of the Immortality
of the life committed to her charge; and
the higher her ideal, the greater is her sense
of responsibility. The child at first, is a
bundle of possibilities; afterwards, of hab-
its. Whether the mothers work be hard or
easy depends on the child's inherited moral
tendency.
II the mother seeks to impress upon the
child physical beauty, and to this studies
beautiful pictures, should she not, with more
care and as much hope, hold before herself a
beautiful moral character? The knowledge
Of inherited tendencies will help the mother
much in her work of training by showing
her what traits should be built up; what she
must guard against In moral as in physi-
cal culture the work of the family must be
kept up to the demands of the age. What
are the moral demands of the age upon the
family? Are not the Ten Commandments
always binding and In the same degree
Yes, but the relations Of man 10 man are
more complex than ever before. q There are
more ways of stealing and lying than when
the decalogue was given.
What is the lack of American life? Lack
of moral fibre; lack of an understanding of
right and wrong; lack of strong moral con-
viction in business, political and social life !;
and lastly, lack of moral enthusiasm. And
this lack is because the home life has not
been doing its work as it should, enthusing
children with love Of virtue. The home
should not only train children in moral hab-
its, but create for them definite moral ideas,
bringing before them continually fundamen-
tai moral principles, and showing them how
to apply those principles to daily living.
Next, the home is to give high ideals Of
character, either through biography or liv-
ing illustration.
And here the speaker made clear and
most important distinction between con-
science and moral Judgment. Moral judg-
ment is demanded where the question is Of
relative right and wrong, and so debatable.
Moral enthusiasm can only be cultivated in
the child where the parents love for the
right Is strong.
Show your own intense regard for right,
truth, justice, honesty. Cultivate the idea
Of duty. How shall Iawlessness. the great
danger OF our nation, be counteracted? BY
causing children to feel and recognize dis
cipline, limitation, control. So the conflict
between labor and capital must be met by a
careful culture Of the sense of justice.
Let your child see how you hate meanness
and cheating; that you are too honest to in
dulge In luxuries at the expense of debts.
Build up truthfulness in the child by your
ownperfect sincerity with him. Remember
that as chain is no stronger than its weak
est link, character Is no stronger than its
weakest point. issa .stsesf aAsfar f.x

the county seat of jefferson county, has had

handed over the government of the town to

from women sutfragists and long haired men

were it not known that all the ladies are mar

would follow. Kansas leads in many partic-

coat government her position is first and i'm
mediately in the rear # the gorgeous band

newly elected mayor is a matronly appearing
lady, free from frills and frippery, quite
handsome, and just hey ond the middle age
She is the mother of wo children, and at
present is proficient assistant in the office of
the register of deeds, which her husband fills.
The chairs and desks to be filed in the city
hall by the CONDITIONER are as follows: Mrs.
Sarah E. Balsley, who is considered hand
some and Of fine appearance, not over thirty
seven, and the wife Of DR.. j. W. Balsley, who
ranks high as practitioner She has been
active in the woman's rights movement for
years. and is pleasing talker Mrs. Hannah
A. Morse, while not a stylish woman in the
present Interpretation of the word, is very
clever in her manner and attracts attention
by her earnestness and zeal in the cause she
champions Her husband is leading mem

ilton is the wife of a land and loan agent,
noted for her deeds of charity and FOR ad-
vancing the conditions of her sex on all
occasions. Mrs. Carrie L. johnson is young
and pretty, with a decided dash and carriage
which indicates her determination to win the
fight for her sex. Her husband is the cash
Ter of the Oskaloosa bank. Her taste for per-
sonal and home adornments is fully graft
fed. Mrs. Mile Golden is the wife of a me-
chanic who is an expert in his line, and under
his new honors his hammer has u ring like
unto laughter. She is the youngest of the
council, and boasts prepossessing east of
features which arrests attention. Her two
bright little girls are no burden to her 10y
atty and zeal, but seem to fill her with a
courage that shall leave them heritage.
The issue was no license and anti-billiard
and the Citizens ticket was defeated by an
average of sixty votes for each successful
woman candidate. The entire female popu-
lation was canvassed vigorously for votes.
Considerable chagrin was expressed when
the result was known, but it soon passed off
under the novelty of the situation, and then the
boys turned out the cornet band and gave
the successful aspirants a serenade Oska

SPRINGFIELD, Ills. April 4.-The marriage
of Mrs. Hannah L. Kimball to Gen. John NJ,
Palmer, ex-governor of Illinois, was solemn
lied at the home of the brides mother, Mrs.
j. l., Lamb, at $50 o'clock Wednesday after
noon. The Rev. James A. Reed, d. D., of
the Presbyterian church, pronounced the
ceremony in the presence of about forty init
mate friends and relatives. The wedding
was marked by the unostentatious ma .iner
in which the arrangements were carried out,
and the quiet good taste displayed in every
thing. A remarkable fact in connection with
the wedding is that it was witnessed by four
generations of the brides family, and three
generations of the family of the groom.
Following the ceremony General and Mrs.
Palmer left the house in time to catch the
afternoon south-bound Chicago & Alton
train and were followed to the carriage by
showers of rice and the typical old shoe.
The happy couple went direct to st. Louis,
where they will remain until Saturday
