Many years ago, when drinking habits
were more prevalent than now, a Con-
gregational minister Q York county
preached q very strong temperance SER
mon that made a sensation in the parish.
Some Of the leading members of the con-
~gregation felt insulted. They got up
and left the house during the sermon,
and her sent a letter demanding an
apology or the preachers resignation.
The next Sunday the pastor announced
from the pulpit that he would comply
with the gentlemen's request in the even
ing. OF course, everybody who could go
to the church hat evening was there,
the disaffected ones with smiles on their
faces at the thought of how they had
triumphed over the minister. The wor-
thy man assembled the pulpit, went
through the preliminary exercises, and
then announced his text: "And being
convicted by their own consciences they
went out n by one" The sermon
preached from that text was a sumner,
but nothing more was said about an
apology, and the minister did not resign.

Georgia Drew Barrymore divides tue
honors of Cranes new play with the
star. 1t is a remarkable sight to see
this gifted woman doing her level best
TO satisfy her mother with her work,
a woman who, at the age of nearly 70,
is still bidding for the applause OF tho
multitude with Jefferson and Flor
ence. By the way, what a remarkable
family the Drews are. Think OF it, one
night the mother was playing at tho
Fifth Avenue, her son John at Days,
her son Sydney at one of the other
swell theatres, and her eldest daughter
is the talk of the town at the Star.
What is the best part of this singu,
lar run of talent is hat it is all good,
and that in the whole family there ha,
not been a bad actor or bad actress.
The mother is said to be very proud oil
ner children, but to be a merciles,
critic of their acting whenever she ha,
an opportunity of seeing it. But it i.
no secret that she is very proud of Mrs,
Barrymore's work, -Cor. Philadelphia

Eow . Young Lawyer Defended 80 \
iurnd Woman and Nfndnn RanntnttmL

EoW = Young Lawyer Defended - H.
Jured Woman and Made - Reputation.
Jonathan Il. Pugh was a pale faced
young lawyer. Day after day he sat
waiting for clients, but none came. The
first term Of our appeare6and his name
had not appeared on the docket. At that
time my father was clerk of the circuit
court One day there came to him a
poor, sad woman, who'poured into his ear
q pitiful tale Of woe. A brother-in-law
had robbed her Of all the property left
her by her dead husband, had oppressed
and abused her, and was now seeking to
take from her care her only child, a little
girl 8 years Did. Ny father became
deeply interested in the woman and
promised TO help her. he at once sent
for Pugh. The young lawyer came and
took charge of her case.
The poor woman's brother-in-law was
rich, and he employed the best OF coun-
sol, and made every preparation in his
power to defeat her In court and subject
her to still greater oppression He even
circulated the most slanderous stories
against her, and succeeded In totally de-
stroying her good reputation.
This story hndled the soul of Pugh,
and he went to work with a fierce deter
mination to unmask the villain. The
day for the trial arrived The neighbor-
hood was thoroughly aroused, and the
old court room was crowded with specta-
tors. The sad and dreamy young lawyer
became another mana bold and daunt-
less knight fighting for outraged woman
hood He arose to speak. The silence
was painful. With a master hand he
laid before court and jury the work of
the poor woman's oppressor. The par
jured witnesses withered beneath his
fiery d~enunciation. Judge, jurors and
spectators bent forward to listen.
As he told of the woman's wrongs tear,
filed the eyes of all. Then he turned
from the weeping woman to the author
Of her sorrows. In terrible language hs
expressed the villainy of the man. Sud-
denly he faced the victim of his scorn,
and pointing his ~quivering finger at him
exclaimed: "You have stolen from this
poor woman all her property. Not only
this; you have robbed her not only Of her
last dollar. but of what is more precious
than gold-her good name. And now,
with savage hands, you try to tear from
her arms her darling child. In the aw-
full hereafter you should not even be al
lowed the miserable comfort of herding
with the common damned, but In some
lower, deeper hell be compelled, singly
snd alone, to howl out an eternity OF
woe"
AS Pugh reached this climax it fell
Nike a bolt Of thunder on the ears of tho
guilty man. and he rushed headlong from
the court room. Pugh's reputation wa
made. He was flooded with clients and
was at once one of the busiest lawyers in
town.-nlinois State Journal.

 Local Team and the Work They
 Have eAccomplished-Wh is Going
 On In Ease Ball Circles Hereabouts
 and Notes of Interest to Base Ball
 Eathuslasts.
 Two weeks of the championship season have rolled by and the base ball team which represents the City of Films is found installed in good position in the race for the pen. nant, that of third place. Despite the fears of numberless local cranks, the team made 8 good showing on the trip and ended the weeks playing beautifully by defeating their old adversaries, the Hartford team. Those who predicted poor showing on the so," and are lauding the team; and row that they are back again and ready | to do combat in the east, it Is hoped that the good work will continue. The team has several hard games to play during the com. ing two weeks and if half of them are won the people ought to be satisfied. This after noon they play game in Hartford and to- morrow they play return game here. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Worcester will play here on the Howard avenue grounds and Saturday New Haven will open the season in Worcester with that team. This will be great day for base ball in that city. On that day the management will raise the At lantic association pennant, which was won by the Worcester team last year, and the un. furliug of this trophy will spur the Wor cester 'laddies' on to victory. It is not i'm. probable that band of music may also bs engaged to enliven the occasion. New Haven also plays there Monday and Tuesday and from there goes to Hartford and plays the 18th and 17th. It is pretty hard TOW to hoe, but the team ia equal to the occasion and will no doubt make the opposing team hustle for every game.
