The Democrats returned to power in the

the whole story of Democratic rottcnncSs,

TEMPERANCE coNvocArtoN.
Large rubIic Gatherings at the Foun-
dry VI. T.. Church.


The public temperance convocation at
Foundry VI. T.. Church was largely attended
yesterday morning, and, us usual, the major
portion Of the audience was composed of
ladies'. Mrs. Frances j. Barnes presided,
and Mrs. \. L. Bovcc made the opening
PRAYER. After Miss Hills, of Wilmington,
Del. had read Il passage of Scripture, Miss
Frances T.. Willard, president of the W. G.
+. L., spoke of the great good accomplished
Iy the union, which was inspired by the noble
work Of the women temperance crusaders.
She believed that the only way to get tenn
prranCc legislation was to give women the
allOt. ms II was recognized now that wO.
mems ballots were needed to make up the
majority at the polls on temperance q'lcs-
lions
Miss Willard said that seven years ago
there was difference Of opinion on the sub
icct of woman suffrage. Some might vet
exist. hut she had her convictions of what
was right and tried to live up TO them.
The morning session closed after addresses
had been made Mrs. G. II. St. John, of Kan.
sas. and Mrs. Mary Mather, of Delaware.
At the evening session Foundry Church
was literally packed with people aud 1t was
with difficulty that standing room could he
obtained. Miss Frances, Willard presided,
and associated with her OH the rustrum were
Mrs. Clara CIcghurn iiolnan. ol 81. Louis;
Mrs. H. NJ. Smith, Mrs. +. j. Barnes, and
Mrs. La Fetra.
After pleasant introductory remarks by
Miss Willard, Mrs. Hoffman stepped to the
edge of the platform, and delivered one of
the most fOrciblc and convincing temper
Gnce addresses ever heard in this city. She
directed her efforts especially against high
license laws, and characterized them as per
nicious in the extreme. Prohibition in its
tue sense, was the only means to save the
youth of our land from the growing curse
If strong drink. Her own state (MissOun),
She said, had passed high license laws, and
while the effect had been to weed out the
low groggcrics the enlightened" dcns still
remained, and their evil influence on the
community was felt more than ever.
Miss Kate Willard favored the assemblage
with a number of eXquisitcly rendered songs.
The programme for to-day ut Foundry NJ.

the agitation for an international copyright:

THE R.kyySON DIVORCE SUIT.
Testimony Taken in this City Against
the Wife,


the Wife.
The Rawson divorce ease, which has
caused considerable excitement and sensa-
sion in the city of Chicago, is awakening
some interest in this city, as depositions
have been taken here covering the period
when Mrs. Meckie l.. Rawson was Mrs
Meckie L. Lee. They are in behalf of Mr.
Rawson, and the Chicago Ne,ps says: 'They
charge Mrs. Rawson by inunendo If not
directly with intidelity."
The chief witness examined was Sarah
Deneal, colored servant of Mrs Lee, or
Rawson, when the latter lived at 737 Thir-
tecnth street, in the nations capital. The
woman was asked if she had ever met ex-
Judge o. A. Lochrane, a well-known lobby
ist and counsel for the Pullman company,
but now dead.
She said that she had seen him at Mrs.
Rawson's house. An examination of con-
siderable length drew from her the testi-
mony that he roomed there. His room was
back parlOr, but the witness said she never
had occasion to make up his bed because it
was never used. Yet he retired at night and
emerged from the room in the morning, eX-
cept during one week, when the Judge and
Mis-. Rawson took trip in company to New
Y OIk.
She testified that she saw the Judge in
and both times he was in his night dress
When Sarah appeared at the door Mrs.
Rawson said that she had q headache and
had been unable to make the girl hear. On
crOss-eXamnation the girl said that she was
called to the room Judge Lochrane. She said
Mrs. Rawson and the judge often went driv-
ing together, returning at late hour. Mrs.
RawsOn was said to have received no lady
friends while witness lived with her, and
size only saw one man other than the judge,
lie was n man with light hair and mus
tache, whose name Sarah did not know.
Sarah vouclisafed the further information
that Mrs. Rawson INDUCED in swear words.
The delicate constitution of Sarah was ter
ribly shocked by profanity, and she left
Mrs. Rawson because the latter said "You
are a. black wench Leave the room,
or ] will kill you" Wine was
frequently imbibed in large portions
by The gallant judge and Mrs. RawsOn. The
latter never took her meals with the chill
dren. The girl admitted on cross-eXamina-
tion that she sued Mrs. Rawson for wages.
The suit was defended by Lochrane, who,
she said, offered her IS to keep what she
knew about him and Mrs. Rawson to her
self. She declared that she refused to ac-
cept the money
Other witnesses examined were Charles f.
White, cashier of the National Bank OF
Washington, who says that Lochrane intro
duced Mrs. Lee to him, and Charles w.
Bazly, boOkkeeper of the same bank, who
says that Mrs. Rawson kept bank account
running into the thousands. Dispositions OF
people in the patent Office, where Mrs. Raw
son was employed, failed to develop any
Thing against her character,

CURTAILING THEIR LEAVE.
An Order to be Promulgated Affecting
the Police Force.

The police are talking very loudly about
an expected order from police headquarters
which II is claimed will abridgc their rights
somewhat. As far as it could be learned
the order bears directly on the annual
leave Of absence of the police. The men
are now allowed ten days leave in the year
with pay, and occasionally five days addi-
tional are permitted without pay. Its now
understood that Maj. Moore in comparing
the time lost by the police of several cities
on leave Of absence it was found
that st. Louis, with much larger force,
lost only 4,000days last year, while the force
here lost COCO. This caused, SO the police
say, some inquiries TO he made which has
resulted in depriving the men of the right to
get the ten days leave, and that hereafter
leave will only be granted by the major to
those whose good conduct warrants it, and
that fifteen days will only be given in cases
where extraordinary duty has been per-
formed. The order is expected to be read
to-day to the police, but somehow they got
~ idea of It IN advance, and they certainly
dUi 7 tckc kindly to it, as they claim they
will lie deprived of one of the little rights
that tbeN have.

GEN. BRAGG, our new minister to Mexico,
made speech at a banquet given him by
the American residents in the City of Mex
leo Tuesday, in which he plainly ntimated
that the United States would never allow
the reactionary element in Mexico to gain
The ascendant. but would protect and suS
lain liberal government While this is Il
very pretty sentiment, and while the moral
influence of the United States would no
doubt he exercised against return to a
momarrhical form of government in Mexico
we hardly think President Cleveland and
Secretary Bayard authorized Gen. Bragg 10
sI,y what the United States would do or
would not do in case Of attempted change
in Mexico. Gen, Bragg had probably been

to put little Mexican pulque in his Ken

this change and sent II up TO Albany early in

when it goes into effect there will have been

means of execution and the experiment in
