Stormy as ii was eight were at the
meeting of the Union, and the reports
were encouraging. Mrs. Rice re-
ported the two mothers meetings
were seasons of profit and the same
women wished them again in two
weeks. This is an open door for
much good. Mrs. Rice will gladly
receive the assistance of any who
will join in singing, prayer or words
of instruction, Or help to the weary
toiling mothers, who amid many I'M
congenial surroundings are caring
with more or less faithfulness for
some of the children who are soon to
come upon the stage of life as citi-
zens. Mrs. Thompson was directed
to write to Mr.. Jennings Demorest in
regard to the prizes he offers for a
contest in elocution, with the hope of
agitating the subject and interesting
the young people in this laudable
emulation. AT the reception rendered
by this wealthy but generous family
to the 400 delegates of the W. G. T.
T., in New York, Mr.. Demorest spoke
of the great pleasure it had given him
to give out these prize medals of sill
yer, gold and diamonds to the con-
testants who had won them. The
judges are to be of those near the
same age as the contestants.

such general revival of trade at G..

the W. c. T. U. will be held in the
Christian church, Tenth and Louis
lana streets, Sunday, January ~, at
$3.50 pm. An interesting program
will be provided, and all are cordially
invited.
There is a prospect of good at
tendance at the Prohibition Alliance
next week, and we hope to see many
of our friends from different parts of
the State, and that there may lie
general strengthening of purpose in
pushing forward this great cause,
which means so much to the future
generations.
Reports of victory after hard
fight, at Devalls Bluff, and the recent
decisions of the State supreme court,
give inspiration to still press on in
the good work. But we may also
learn lessons in the adverse decisions
that may seem to bring to naught the
work of years. Perhaps these are
needed to arouse the indifferent and
careless, and awaken greater inter-
est in the real principles of right and
the welfare of the whole community.
BY the efforts of some of the good
people of the city, the experiment is
soon to be tried in Little Rock of
having Police Matron, who under
the authority of the mayor will have
charge of those of our own sex who
from any cause may fall under the
ban of the law. The place will be
filled by Mrs. Annie S. Harris, of
Rogers, Benton county, Ark,
Christian lady who for the love of
Jesus to these poor degraded and
often victims of scheming villainy,
has consented to enter the open door
for service for the master. We be-
speak for her in this untried and Pc
culiarly trying situation, the SYM
pathy, interest and aid in various
ways of the people of our city.
All are invited to call at Headquar-
tiers. 1t is decided that our dear Ma
tional President, Miss Frances E
Willard will make tour of the Gulf
States, and will attend our State con-
vention, which will be held in March
instead of May. Time changed to
suit her convenience. As soon as the
date is fixed it will be published. In
the meantime let the members of each
Union set themselves to get ready so
as to send good reports and delegates
to Van Buren,. Our National presi-
don't is also the president of the
Worlds w. G. L. U. now organized
three-fourth around the globe; also

meet a woman of this prestige we
should make an extra effort, not just
to pay homage to rank, but to learn.

BERLIN, August .24.-Compared with

Copenhagen, and have brief, quiet
meeting with the Emperor at Potsdam.
An inspired article in the Cologne Ga

visit to Osborn, Gays relations between
England and Germany are beginning to
be much more friendly. Owing, however
to the opposition OF the Radicals in Par

THE Grand Jury has done effective
work in unearthing the warrant frauds.
Eight indictments have been found, in
volving two minor officials whose names
have not before been publicly mentioned
in connection with the steal. These
young men have heretofore stood we'll in
the community, and if they are innocent
they will doubtless be able to show it. 1t
now seems that the extent of the money
thus fraudulently stolen from the treas
ury is much greater than was at first an
nounced, and the HERALD's surmises are
in the way OF being verified. A rumor
is current as coming from the Grand Jury
room to the effect that there are other
implicated parties who will be brought
into the tolls. In justice to the tax.

escape, however high or influential his

ure-FOrger aud Thief.

New ORLEANS, August 24.-Alphonso
Y. Phillips, prominent lawyer and
Notary Public, who left this city about
two months ago, was last heard from in
Denver, Colorado. Yesterday afternoon
one of his creditors placed an attachment
on some of his effects for 81, 300. This
created alarm, and today swarm OF
creditors sued out attachments, alleging
that Phillips hag permanently left the
State. He is accused of forgery and all
manner of crookedness, and there
are indications that he has squandefed
something like one hundred thousand
dollars of other peoples money, his
mother being the greatest individual
sufferer, her entire estate having been
mortgsged. Phillips was a married
man. His family at present are sojourn-
ing in Virginia. Property held by Phil
lips at Pass Christian, Miss, also has
been attached. His downfall is attributed
to his fondness for bstting on races, roul-
ette and baseball. There is also said to
have been woman in the case. An in

A Remedy for sh,p-bui,d,nx Trusts

1t will please all Californians to learn
that the cruiser Charleston, as to whose
ability to comply with the official re-
quirements OF the Navy Department some
doubt had arisen, owing to certain defects
in her first trial. which have been since
remedied, has more than met the de-
mands of the Construction Board of the
Naval Bureau. On the first trial OF the
Charleston the somewhat unwise policy
was pursued of maintaining great secrecy
towards the reporters, and probably, as
a natural result, the undoubted draw
backs which existed in her construction
were unduly magnified. There are
few Californians who would not have felt
grieved to see the Union Iron Works of
San Francisco fail to maintain the honor
of the Pacific Coast in thel construction
of the cruiser Charleston. The Eaam-
liner, which re ached this city yesterday,
has some just remarks about the apparent
creation of shipbuilding trust, which

The common-sense view of sewer
project would be that the work should be
progressive in the direction in which the
sewage can be used to advantage to en-
rich the lands that require it. That
would mean that the sewage should be
carried by the river route in the line
that it is now carried, and not diverted to
route and over country where
it is not needed and can never be profit.
ably used to any extent. 1t is admit.
ted by those who favor the Ballona
route that the sewage is to be screened
and purified before it is poured into the
sea. If that is the case, where is the
need of spending SAC. 900 to carry it by
that route? Take it by the river route,
and in the winter months, when the sew
age is not wanted for the lands, (provid-
ing it is not wanted then, although this
is not made apparent screen and purify

river. Relieved of its impurities,
there could be no objection from
any source to thus disposing of the over.
plus fuid. We would save the $440, 900,
and the money that would be required
to keep the long line of outfall sewer by
way of Ballona in repair would cover, or
nearly cover, the cost of clearing and de-
odorizing the sewage in the winter
months. In every aspect of the case in
which we can view it, the river route
would be the best and the cheapest
the most desirable as needed means oi
fertilization and the most economical as q
public work. Let US see how the matter
would stand. We assume an immediate
Indebtedness of nearly half a million
dollars if we carry the outfsll to the sea
by way of the Ballona. Then We shall
be called upon to expend perhaps $780,.
600 a year to keep it in repair. Next il
will cost similar sum to purify the
sewage, and we shall have to pay $685.
600 year interest on the bonds. Now,
by the river route, it would perhaps cost
$3.50, 900 to extend our outfall system as
far as the sandy lands, and it would
cost, say, $4,000 year to purify the
sewage 30 that the surplus water in a
sweetened state could be run during the
winter months into the river. Which OF
these two propositions has the most
merit?
