PREEIE CHAPEL.
Rev. w. =. Pheian Makes His Annu-
al Report.

~ "SP0Tts
Rev. W. 1. Phelan Of Preble Chapel, pre-
sented his 10th annual report yesterday
Inc past year," said Mr.. Phelan, twill
compare tavorably in all branches of work
Win any Oh the preceding 20 years. The
year closed with ITO scholars, divided into 20
classes, making in all including teachers, 100
connected with the Sunday school. The
new superintendent. Mr. George E. Thomp-
son, nils the position admirably. The mis-
s'onary zeal OF the teachers was never more
apparent or more wisely directed than at
present. Bands Of Kings Daughters and
society of Helping Hands have been organ
lied by which the young folks are taught
endless ways OF doing good. The Importance
OF the early formation of habits of temper
ance and self control has been taught The
teachers have set apart one Sunday of each
month for temperance instruction. In the
Chapel workroom the average amount of aid
to the needy has been given. Two hundred
and fourteen new garments have been given
away; 6S yards of cotton cloth and print to
children and 700 to adults: "a pairs of new
shoes and several pairs of rubbers. Twenty
four articles of bedding and underwear were
loaned during sickness. The contributions
to the poor from all sources during the year
have amounted to $195.36. OF this amount
$173.46 were expended in aiding worthy old
people. The Thanksgiving offerings
amounted Ia all to $50 40, all of which and
some besides was spent in providing a
Thanksgiving dinner for 46 families. The
Sunday collections at the Chapel for 1888
amounted to $3.50. OF this amount SS6.67
were expended in current expenses, leaving
$7.s3 In the treasury. Through the generos-
ity OF Mr.. Ira F. Clark, 10 boys of the school
were provided with new suits and $40 were
given by Mr.. Clark to be expended for the
girls"
After submitting his annual report Mr..
Phelan reviewed briefly the work of the last
20 years. During that time at moderate
estimate $4,000 has been contributed to the
various branches of the work, making an
average of $500 per year. During that time
100 different teachers and officers have
served in the work of the Sunday school.
Mr.. Phelan has conducted 1000 religious SER
vices, attended 231 funerals, married "a
couples and baptized 90 children. He has
also conducted three-fourths of the 1870 Sun
day school concerts.
At the Goth anniversary yesterday only
two were present who we're members of the
ers and teachers in the Sunday school but
one was present who was connected with
the school 20 years ago. Miss Jane McLel-
Ian and the librarian, Mr.. /. p. Harrington.
have served through the whole period.

that is no reason why you should not
try TO do better in 1889. And in no
respect is it more important for you to
begin right, than in practicing econo-
my. Economy is the road to wealth;
it does not mean stinginess or being a
miser. 1t does mean getting dollars
worth for every dollar you pay out.
and getting the best dollars worth
that is to be had. If you have any
dollars to invest in railroad travel, the
true economy is to buy ticket over

From time to time. even within the
dignified precincts of the United States
senate, strong drink obtrudes itself
unpleasantly in the unbecoming con.
duct of certain senators. The Central
Christian Advocate, commenting upon
"a recent incident, says:
Occasionally a bit of senatorial
unpieasantness casts a ray of light on
the conduct. and character of mem
Der of that body. Senator Mitchell
defends himself against Senator Nor
gan's insinuation that his character is
none of the best by saying, Whatever
may have done in all my life which
| ought not to have done, have never
since l have been a member of this
body come into the senate chamber
full of whisky, disgracing myself and
disgracing the senate. This closed
the altercation,-an arrow had been
sent to weak point.
We believe that it was to Senator
Morgan, who is a member of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations.
that his fellow senators on that COM
mittee referred the subject of the
liquor traffic with the native races Of
the Congo country and the Western
Pacific Islands. Though months have
elapsed since the hearing before the
committee by the official deputation
from the National Temperance So
ciety. no report, so far as we know.
has yet been presented to the senate.
Senator Mitehell's very plain intima-
ton suggests the query whether, as an
absorbent of whisky, Senator Morgan
has been too full for utterance con-
corning the drink traffic with the Afri-
cans and other imperial natives
