Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-10-04

Mr.. Claiborne, Mississippi's histo-
rian, is credited with making the
comforting statement that no cause
espoused by the ministry of any
country has ever failed" II Colum-
bias ministry could only be made to
feel the ponderous force of this as
sertlon and at once unity all their
powers to the abolition of the liquor
evil, we should see not only the dis
appearance of the open saloons, but
a closing up of the death-mills.
Drunkenness would soon be numbered
with the other relics of barbarism.
The good leaven is working and just
now strong words of encouragement
come from the Mississippi Baptist
ministry, who are practically a unit
in condemning the drink habit and
the drink traffic as we'll. The follow
ing comes from them at Columbus,
Miss:
"We bid our mothers, sisters, wives
and daughters hearty God-speed in
their Christly work. We believe, un-
der God, they are a mighty factor in
the redemption of humanity from the
drink curse.
We pledge our influence and per-
sistent efforts to the accomplishment
of the following:
1. The protection by legal enact
ment of all schools from the present
and influence of the liquor traffic. We
heartily participate IN the wide
spread regret that the only
woman's school under the pa
tronage of the State, has been
denied immunity from the open ga
loon. Our girls, in our peerless girls
school, must have the protection ac-
corded our boys.
2. Scientific temperance instruction
in all our schools-State and private.
3. Bible temperance instructions
among the negroes, especially the
young of that dependent race.
4. The complete abrogation of the
iniquitous license system, high or low,
the partnership between saloon and
State.
5. The suppression by all honorable
methods of the soul and-body-de-
stroying drink habit.
6. The constitutional prohibition of
the drink traffic.
Z. And finally, we recommend and
earnestly plead for the constant agi-
tation of the temperance and prohibit
ton question throughout our State.
In our Judgment no greater mistake
can be made by temperance people
than to cease to hold temperance
meetings in the saloon or prohibition
territory"

National Pledge.

II solemnly promise, God helping me, to alb

ploy all proper means to discourage the use

Encouraging Notes.
RECTOR.

A private letter gives us the fol-
lowing encouraging message: "Ihe

they term a friendship quilt and

purpose Of quilting the same. 1t is

A Special Agent Discovered q Postal Job
Lot.
One Of the best raconteurs in this city, when
he gets warmed up with his subj ect, il ex-Post-
master General James. He was discussing
postal service with New York World repre-
sentative the other day.
One objection to there being a single head
over the New York city, Brooklyn and Jersey
City post offices, he remarked, sis that all the
supervisional business would have to be done in
Washington. as it is now, and that conse-
qucntly, that man should reside in Washing
tom
Mr.. James laughed. 'That is nonsense" he
went on. Ills place will be in this city, where
lie ought to know and be daily at his business
here. Why. the idea of man being necessarily
resident OF Washington because he would be
head OF the three offices reminds lie of Il ecial
agents New York doings. Of course he lived
III Washington. Just imagine a man from
postmaster of this great city really stood in
need OF what he had, over his own signature,
asked for!
One day myself and Col. Gayler were greatly
taken aback by receiving a certified copy of a
report made to the Postmaster General by an
agent who had been in this city investigating
the post Office wants that had been specified in
the official communication sent to the Post
master General from this city. tell YOU we
looked ut one another and scratched our heads
and wondered what had struck u.s.
What was it! Well, the special charged us
with asking, among other things for drop
box to be placed on certain street corner when
we already had one there. 1t was only a little
item OF 81 or IS. but the agent took up whole
page OF his report to show how loosely We did
business here.
Il got my breath finally and so did Col. GAY
Ter and we determined to look into matters
personally, although we thought we had done
80 before we had specified that drop box among
our other wants. We went to that street con-
ner. AS sure you are New Yorker" ex-
Claimed Mr.. james, Il could see box on the
corner when l was within half block of it. So
could Col. Gayler Could it be possible that SO
watclful an eye for the public good as Col
Gaylers had missed that box and we had delib-
erately asked for what We really had? l felt
sick ut my stomach.

'The special agent was right. There was a
box there as we found out when we came to
close quarters with the lamppost"
That put you and Col. Gayler in bad Ak
''Ob, no. The special agent who had known
more about New York's postal wants than we
did, got into one soon after"
"How?'
''Well, the box on the lamppost was o fire.
