TEMPERANCE DEPARThIENT.


OONDUOGGO 04 1hE pIAFFOhD SPblNGS W.C.I. U.
 Through the courtesy of the publish. CTS of The Press the w. O. T. U. of Staf- ford Springs have been given space for 8 w. Q. T. U. department and will begin this week with series of short articles of the aims and methods of the W. 0. T. U. work.
 The Woman's Christian Temperance Union is the largest organization of wo- men the world has ever seen they are banded together against the worst foe wo- man has ever had to cope with, foe who dates his age by the centuries, and whose business is backed by far more wealth than any other commands. To overthrow such an enemy will not be the work of a few years, but of decades of years. When the mother grows old and feeble in the contest, the strong young daughter must take her place. An organization such as this, that has come to stay, must have the proper appliances for work. Miss F. B. Willard says: "It Is time we dwelt in our own house time that the temperance idea materialized into temple worthy of it, one which, by it's plan and purpose, might set an example to all the world. T "A plan has been matured, and company has been incorporated on behalf of the Ma. tional w. 0. T. U., known as the Woman s Temperance Building Association. Their purpose is to erect magnificent structure in the very center of the business portion of Chicago for the national society, where the w. 0. T. U. headquarters will be To- cated, as well as that of the Woman's Ma tional Publishing House. It is also to contain beautiful memorial hall, to be known as Willard Hall, which is to be to the temperance reform what Westminster Abbey is to England's great celebrities. There are books of record to be kept here and sacredly preserved, ill which the names of all donors to the building fund will be placed. Those who give,one hun dred dollars or more will have their names engraved on the marble tablets that are to adorn the hall. Besides all this, it is to be great office building.
 It is estimated that it will bring in a rental of $250, 1000 a year. One of the finest sites in the city has been secured for it, corner lot with a frontage on La Salle street of 190 it. by 96 it. on Monroe street. It will be thirteen stories high, entirely ireproof, and will cost $1. 100, ,0OO. Work commenced on the building the first oi July. The cornerstone will be laid No vember, 1890. It is expected.the building will be ready for occupancy by May, 1892 The money to erect the building in the

Cor. Palmer Journal Rooms for 25 boarders have been engaged at the Cush- man House for straw shop people for the coming winter, and the Monson House has at present about 20 boarders. The number will probably increase as business increases at the shop. This winter will undoubtedly be good one for both ho- tels, as the boarding house will not be run this winter. .. Rev. o. B.

first place is to be raised by stock and bonds subscribed by capitalists friendly to the cause-(Mr Carse has subscribed for quite large amount of it, as trustee for the National w. 0. T. U.). The capital stock is $500, 900, and has been all sub scribed for. By the terms of the charter this stock is redeemable by the w. o. T. U. within five years, by the payment on it of 5 per cent. for the time it has been in use or it can run twelve, if SO desired-i G., the w. o. T. U. have twelve years in which to pay off the stock and bonds
 All money accruing from rentals after the expenses, including five per cent. divi- dends has been paid, will go into sinking fund to pay off the stock and bonds. The quicker this is done the sooner the w. 0. T. U. will come into possession of their beautiful temple with it's noble revenue, one-half of which will go to the national society, the other half to the states pro rata ill accordance with the amount each state has subscribed to the fund. With this large income for both national and state work what apower may it not prove to beat back the inroads of the liquor traf. fic; as Miss Willard has truly said: ''It will help us aid all states that strive fol constitutional prohibition, multiply oul local unions, and send the healing leaves of our literature to the ends of the earth. It will embody the blessed idea of the cru sade, and stand like Pharos of righteous ness guiding bewildered souls to Christ and His gospel"
 Let all member of the w. o. T. U. send to us at once for bulletins, which will give full information in regard to how they are to raise money for the building fund. The mite-box system is the best plan (send 2 two-cent stamp to us and we will send you a box). Those who send for box, pledge to drop penny each day into it. If they cannot afford to do this, they are to asl their friends to help them make up the re quired amount.
 If between the W. O. T. U. and the l. l.. T. 100000 boxes were taken and tht above pledge carried out, it would aggre gate ill one year $730,OOO There is noth ing to hinder the w. o. T. U., if eacl member will do little, from having tn, temple entirely paid for by the time it i completed.
 All money for the building fund is to b. sent to Miss Esther Pugh, national treas urer W.C.T.U., 161 La Salle-st., Chicago For information in regard to everythin, pertaining to the temple address the presi dent of the Woman's Temperance Buildin,

Thurs day one of them hired team to go to Bel chertown, and the other hired one to go to Monson. They were probably looking up game.

OUR LIBRARY.-Reports from the presi- dent and librarian of the South Coventry library emphasize the fact of incapaeious quarters. There should be a library and reading room of ample dimensions and equipped with convenient appointments. where such popular literature as this insti- tuition contains, books, period calls, maga- zines and papers can b6found, represent. ing every current topic or cause. Another fact that has long pointed to this necessity is that we live in g book producing and culture acquiring period; and reading community like ours would greatly appre- ciate such benefaction as offers free and ce mfortable access to any during any leis- ure hour they feel able to command.

We have been told that in the first voting district electors were allowed to take envelopes and ballots and go away to prepare them, instead of nsing the booths for that purpose. This is not the intent of the law it destroys secrecy and reopens the chances for bribery. Every honest voter desires to maintain the secrecy and consequent greater purity of the ballot.
 Also it appears that . 'srnnner" who brought in voter to the second district polls at the town meeting, being told that he was too late, turned and went to the 1st dfstrict, where he voted his man. The queer thing is that the mans name was upon the lists at both places, and might have been voted upon at both.
