Fred Goodwin Gone East to Inspect the
Nntatoriums There.
Fred Goodwynn and Architect William
Mcbride, of this city, left last night for
Philadelphia, New York and Boston to in
spect the swimming schools in those cities
with view of adopting some OF their i'm
proved features in the natatorium to be
erected in this city.
The lease for the ground upon which the
Pittsburg school will be built was signed
Saturday, and the work of building will be
begun August 1. It is expected that the
natatorium will be opened to the public
November 1. In speaking OF the swimming
bath. Mr.. Goodwynn said:
"We are determined to have this school
the best one in the country, excepting
nothing. We will be away for number
of weeks, and in that time we will examine
everything pertaining to q frst-class nata-
torium. 1t will be situated on Duquesne
way, near Sixth street, and will be in re-
spectacle locality, where ladies can go
without fear For ladies and children the
school will be open from in the morning
until noon. The afternoon and evening
will be given to men and boys.
''The swimming bath, will be 70 feet long
by So wide. The tank will contain 5000
gallons of water and will be- in constant
flow. The water will be filtered through .
machine that will sieve 12O, 900 gallons per
day and no impurities will be allowed to
get into it. The water will not come from
the Allegheny river, but will be drawn
from the city mains. It will be heated, and
in winter one may take swim more COM
Portable than he now can in the river. 1
have already secured over 400 names of
young people who want to join the SWIM
ming class. We intend to have all the
noted lady swimmers here the first week to
engage in contest"

on this subject. Who was it that worked out
this sentiment in the churches though? Those
who liked their beer
Now if we want to make votes, we have got
to work as well as pray to do it, Don't let us
be discouraged. In due season we shall reap
what we have sown and are yet to sow. Re-
member that, if we had carried this State, by
the bare 5000 to 900 which would have been
the best possible majority for prohibition at
present, the workers would all have sat back
in their chairs. taken their ease. and, in two
years, the means brought about tor the saving
of all these souls from the drunkard's death
might have been obliterated by that corrupt
power which never slumbers, no matter how
much moralists may sleep.
Now, here is fact for us to weigh well and
consider: The reform we seek cannot be
brought to pass until the unmitigated curse of
intemperance is wiped out of our National
Capital. Uncle Sam himself is now soaked in
whisky. We must face that fact. Very well;
we can do so. We yet hold the balance of
power in politics If a man wants to be Con-
gresham we can, in most instances, make him
such, or forestall his ambition. We eau make
sure. then, that he pledges to do his duty for
the right or else we can make sure to see that
his political grave is dug; and that is just what
we must do

| Why Prohibition Was Defeated-Rev.
Charles E. Locke's Sermon Explains
Mntfers-The Foreigners Hif.
"After the Battle" was the subject of a
very interesting sermon at the Smithfeld
Street M. E. Church last night, in which
the Rev. Charles e. Locke explained to
some extent the reasons why the Constitu-
tional amendment was defeated.
He took his text from John xxi: 6,
where the Lord says to his disciples: "Cast
the net on the right side of the ship and ye
shall fnd," and after introducing his dis
course with the story as related in the Cos
pei of st. John, be said:
Jesus the Lord God STANDS to-day upon the
same pedestal of immortality. looking down
upon the actions of men. and watching VIII at
ever goes on. He is aware that the hosts OF
Israel suffered defeat last Tuesday. Why did
they suffer defeat? Because the net was not
thrown out on the right side, but on the wrong.
The defeat was due TO the fact that the soldiers
were divided against themselves. A house
divided against itself cannot stand. In unity is
strength. united we stand. divided we fall are
words as true to-day as ever they were. The
Christian church was not unit, and the con-
sequence was that the battle resulted in
defeat.
At certain precinct in this city preacher
stood last Tuesday beside citizen, the one put
his ballot into the urn for end the other against
prohibition, yet both were members Of the
same church. That must stop. Members Of
the Christian church must become christian
lied, they must be unit. and not until then
can success be achieved.
Great reforms are not easily accomplished.
There is an element hostile to our American
institutions In this country. There are too
many foreigners in this land. lam not antagon-
izing immigration, but believe that foreigners

must leave his beer on the Rhine, the Irishman
his whisky in Dublin, the Frenchman must
abandon his Sabbath breaking when he gets
here. and the Italian must leave his filth IN
Naples. would rather see the Government Of
this country in the hands of 15-year-old school
boy, than in the hands of a host of naturalized
citizens, who do not understand the esprit du
corps of the American Republic.
Not until then will we be able to carry the
amendment, and a proof of this Is that pro-
hibition was carried in Kansas because the
majority of the population in that State are
American born.

THEY HAVE THE MONEY.
Assignees of the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank to Pay Depositors,

Assignees of the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank to Pay Depositors.
In a conversation with Mr.. John Henry
Sorg at his home yesterday afternoon, that
gentleman stated that the assignees of the
defunct Farmers and Mechanics Bank have
a sufficient amount of cash on hand to pay
% cents on the dollar to depositors of the
broken bank.
Mr.. Sorg and 81. j. Berg are the assig-
nees. When all the property of the bank
has been turned into money the total
amount in the hands of the assignees will
be sufficient to pay 30 cents on the dollar to
depositors. The stockholders of the insti-
tuition will have to be assessed for the re-
manning half of the total loss, which is said
to be about $500, 900.

would be to establish Mccall missions,
similar to those in Paris, in different parts of
the cities. where young men could find enter
tainment and receive Enlightenment on the true
principles of prohibition and get the idea that
1t is an infringement of their personal liberty

must be done. We cannot work with spas
modic efforts.

ADVICE TO THE FOOLISH.

Rev. ]. T. McCrory Draws snge Lessons
From the sufferings of Job.
Rev. j. 7. McCrory, in his sermon at the
Third U. P. Church last night, took his
text from Job ii. 9, where Jobs wife says to
the patient sufferer: "Now curse God and
die."
In his discourse Mr.. McCrory laid par
ticular stress upon the fact to curse God is
very foolish. because it cannot harm the
Lord in the least, while He may some day
get up reckoning against the blasphemer
by which the latter can gain nothing at all.
