Jersey, was awakened by the tramp Of q
horse coming up the road, stopping at the
gate, driving through and up to the front
porch. l heard my little nephew's merry
laugh at thought of our surprise, and the
distinct voice of my brother trying to sup
press the child: "Hushi Do not let them

He Loved HIS Dog.

see, said a well known actor last night in
the Girard house cafe. that the Chinese the
ltre was closed last week because the Leading
actor had lost his cat and couldn't stop his
iearch for it long enough to appear upon the
boards. That reminds me Of the early days
in San Francisco, when Walt Gosnell, local
favorite in heroic roles, lost bis magnificent
water spaniel. The animal was his only COM
panion, and he lavished his affection upon it.
One day the dog disappeared, and no one
could find trace of it. Gosnell was then in
high favor, and he drew crowded houses, al
though he never had any reputation outside
of that city. he started out in the afternoon
to find the animal, and, finding a clew, fol-
lowed it up, and by O'Clock, when he should
have been ready to go on the stage, he was
nine miles from the theatre, and the manager
was tearing his hair in desperation at his nom
appearance.
A substitute was put on, but he was Kissed
off the stage, and the theatre was closed at the
end of the second act Meanwhile Walt had
found his dog dead at cabin outside the city
limits, where it had been taken by its captor
and killed because it showed vicious dispo-
sition- Walt never appeared on the stage
again.-Philadelphi Inquirer.

MRS. FOSTER TALKS.
Withdrawal of the Iowa Delegation Long
Thought Necessary.

CHICAGO, Ill, l3.--MrS. Ellen Z OSuer Wds
seen today and asked the reason for the
withdrawal of the Iowa delegation from
national w. c. L. u. Mrs Foster said
1.-THE Iowa delegation deeply regret the
course they were forced to take in with.
drawing from tine convention. They have
been associated in the national w. c. L.
e. since it's organization. They have had
full share of the burden and of reward in
this war against the drinking usages OF
society; they have continually protested
against diversion of their influence and
the compromise Of their work by political
party alliances. These complications have
:hickened and the evil results have multi
piled with the years until it is no longer
possible to bear the friction without
naturally limiting the movement. The
convection has been growing in the w. Z.
L. L. of Iowa that separation must come
sooner or later. The last convention adopted
& resolution allowing the delegation here
to take such action as the eXigencies of
the case demanded with the possibility OF
separation in their minds when so doing.
We are still constitutionally auxil-
iary to the National w. G. II. U. and
must remain SO until the next meeting of
she Iowa society. The provisional COM
,nittee today appointed by the non-parti-
san women, who met at the call of Mrs.
Watson, OF Pennsylvania. are all able
women aud will begin aggressive work at
once We shall make no war upon the
Did society; it Is dear to us. for we have put
many years of hard labor into its develop
ment and wish for it all success i'll its
many lines of Christian work. There are
however, large numbers of women who
wish to do legitimate temperance work but
will not consent to the mortgage of their
political influence.
Hundreds of ministers who can not
give their support to partisan organlza-
tion have urged us to the step we have
taken. For myself expect our action Will
greatly modify the partisan course OF the
aationaI union. The lines of partisan
ship and -partisanship being definitely
withdrawn will force any woman to think
critically and come to the logical conclu-
sion. We are so sure our position is the
only consistent one for moral reform as
ISOLATION to take that we believe the Chris
ian public will sustain us i'll 1t.

THE w c. T. ID. lATFORM,

CHICAGO H., Nov. l3.-Owing to the
discussion over the majority and minority
reports on the non-partisan question, the
reading of the protest prepared bv Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster and the confusion attendant
upon the withdrawal OF the Iowa deleca-
ton from the w. c. L. L. convention last
night, the consideration of the complete
report of the majority of the committee
on resolutions was not finished until nearly
] O'Clock this morning. As finally adopted
the resolutions declare, in brief: 1--WE
recognize that the foundation of all our
work lies In the acceptance of the gospel
of Christ by men and women and believe
even greater effort should he made along
all eyangelistic lines. We rejoice in
he efforts being made generally for
she enforcement of sunday laws and
pledge our hearty cooperation" The pc
;ition for a national Sunday rest law is re-
Endorsed. The establishment of girls lu-
dustrial colleges aud institutes in every
state, to be supported 10y state appropria-
lions, is urged. Congress shoull enact a
law absolutely prohibiting the manuiac-
ture sac or giving away OF Intoxicating
or alcoholic beverages IN the territory over
which il mas jurisdiction, and the inter
state law should be amended To prohibit
the bringing of liquors pto prohibited
states. An educational test foI citizenship
l. favored and previous declarations in ia
vor of woman's suffrage are reatfirmed. The
union rejoices in the victory ofits principles
al the ballot buX in the new states of North
and South Dakota, and is especially glad
that the dominant party in South Dakota
has explicitly declared for national prohi-
bition. The majority resolution on the
"non-partiSan question and the resou-
ton in reference TO Vice President Nor
toms apartment house in Washington,
given in last nights dispatches, were in
oorporated in the above report. Tne Inde-
pendent Order of Good Templars was
recognized as fellow workers; the work of
the Young Peoples Christian Endeayor
society endorsed and the convention ad-
journed.
