especially 10 the teachers Of Grand
Rapids, many CT whom were present.
Rev. j. W. Reed made q short address
10 the ladies' senator Brown of the
Twenty-thlrd district of Michigan, made
the ladies short talk, IN which he ex-
pressed the hope that God would speed

be enforced III every county Ia the

country had a right To the ballot.
The evenings program began with
and a recitation, Little Bessie" by
Miss Bertha White.
School Honse and Republic.
Mrs. Mary IL. Hunt addressed the
audience on the subject OF "Ine school,
House and the Republic" as follows:
"Our fathers landed on Piymoth
Rock IN tins country over one hundred
years ago; they came TO this country TO
md a place where they could live up TO
their principles, but they had only been
here eleven years when a brewery was
started. In those days a man did not
think that alcohol would hurt him, If
he thought anything about II; and
from that day 10 tnis, this hydra-head-
cd monster. drink, has been steadily
growing. Since the organization or the
w. c. I. u. we have been
trying to stem this tide. We
should be abolished and have been
working TO that end. At one time IT
WAS believed saloonkeepers could be
prayed out OF the business. and per-
suaded to adopt a more honorable way
of making their living. Not long ago Il
great wave of gospel temperance swept
over the land. and n great number OF
people who had been hard drinkers
were persuaded to sign the pledge. but
the majority, who had taste Tor drink,
went back To their old habits. and the
problem has been how TO stop men from
drinking. The people should have no
tolerance for alcohol in any of its varl-
Gus forms. 1t is mans greatest enemy,
morally, mentally and physically. The
reason that We cannot secure prohibl-
ton is that men will drink; and, If they
drink, they can always get liquor. To
stop this evil We should educate our
children in the public schools, explain
to them the evils of drinking, and keep
them from the brewers power. We
believe God intended to save this
nation, but it can not be saved If the
children are not trained to let intoxi-
cants alone" The meeting then
closed.

THE lTATA SECURED.
The Proceedings That May Bs Instituted
Against Her.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The cable dis
patch from Iqulque, Announcing the
surrender of the Itata to the American
warship at that port, can not be con-
firmed at the Navy Department, but
the officials of the Navy Department
say il is undoubtedly correct and they
look for cablegram from Admiral Nc
Cam confirming it and giving particu-
lars, every hour. While nothing
subject the opinion prevails that
Admiral McCann succeeded IN
making an agreement with the insur-
gent leaders for the surrender of the
Itata and her cargo, and for this reason
the Charleston stopped her pursuit Of
the insurgent ship, when she reached
Caliad. What course this government
will now take it is impossible to learn,
but those posted on international law
say the first charge made against her
will be violating neutrality laws. She
will also be open to the charge of
violating the custom laws, for leaving
the port without clearance papers, and
taking a deputy United States marshal
by force.

with both feet to the conclusion that some
"odder niggah" had given Dinah "doZe
shoze." He didn't var any conjugal in
fidelity around his house, so Selling u razor
he begun slashing away at his spouse.

scream under such circumstances-and
aroused the neighhorhood. In a few
moments q bowling mob OF negroes was
assembled, and the would-be murderer
skipped out for tall timber, with the mob
in hot pursuit. Luckily for Bedford, but
worse for the community, he ran into the
arms OF Sheriff Byers, who was already
fastening to the scene of the jubilee.
Bedford was lodged in jail to await the
result of his "razzoring." The woman
was not dead when the lNTELLIoENCER'S
