THE POWER OF THE WHITE RIBBo


AE@zzA Dear Union Signal:
NTEAsg MIR. B. E. ShtrWin Il
6WhNEE] reformed man, 10 " study
SANKaHA ing for the ministry at
EE|EA Evanston, recently spoke
before the gospel meet
ing held there every Sunday by the
w. G. I. U. In the course of his re-
marks he paid warm tribute to the
white ribbon. After admitting ne
knew but little about temperance
work, he said, There is one thing |
Vicious power of the white ribbon"
You women do not begin To know
what power there is in that little Knot
of ribbon" He then related how he
was travelling liz a stage on the Pac fic
coast last spring, just after his CONVEX
sion, fighting within himself that bat
tie, which only the victims of appe-
tte know. A party OF rough men
were in the front part of the stage, act
ing NJ roariousIy. Finally one pulled
out bottle, which began to pass from
one to another. II began TO pray"
said Mr.. Shtrwin, "oh, so earnestly
that if they asked me, | should have
strength enough to say No Just as
they were about to hand it to me, tue
stage stopped and little woman with
a white ribbon on got in. Oh. can
not tell you the help and comfort that
ribbon was to me. AS the men began
to swear, she stood up and said, "My
friends, If you have any respect for
your mothers or sisters or wives, don't
do that. Or, if you have no respect for
them, have some respect for this white
ribbon that / wear"
The little woman was respected, the
badge wrought its mission, and the
men " ere quiet and respectful till the
stage reached Seattle, and the lady
told MIR. Sherwin a few days after
ward that one of the men was convert
ed a day or two later.
Mr., Sherwin also told how he heard
man, owner of a brewery and fifteen
saloons, say last spring in hotel in
Seattle, "I'm going to ell off my prop
erty and get out of th is business just
as fast as | can. The women of the
w. C. t. .. are going to ruin our bus
mess, and am going to get out before
they do it,"
The young man to whom he was
talking said, "Oh, ! guess they won't
do you much HARM"
'.Harm!' said the other, you don't
know anything about 1t. l tell you
they are going to ruin US, aud I'm 60
ing to get out honorably, and not be
driven out by those women" applying
very undesirable epithet.
Sisters, if we are sometimes faint
hearted, LIT US remember these testi-
monies, and go OH with that consecrat-
ed "Do-everything policy" which has
already accomplished such grand re-
suits, and. under God, is to be as the
leaven, hid in the meal, till the whole
is leaveued. ], for one, one of the
greatest sinners in this respect, am re-
solved henceforth to be more mindful
OF my white ribbon when / wear my
"other Dress" or cloak.

In these days when total abstinence
Is becoming more popular, there is a
renewed effort to introduce alcoholics
iato cookery. If you put the devil out
he dances down the chimney and sets
his blue lights burning on the cook
stove. Caterers consider many of their
most delicate dishes incomplete with
out the smack of alcoholics; they hide
this devil in solution ill their sherbert,
in their pudding sauce, in their cakes,
their pies. Let temperance people be
on the lookout at restaurants, hotels,
and so-called high-toned dinner tables.

SAUCE FOR THE GANDER.


In temperance address Gov. st.
John once remarked:
"a man said to me, This is very
good work for women to be engaged in
but it is very poor business for the
Governor of the State l replied:
My dear sir, l wish you would stay at
home and bend like your wife over the
wash-tub, nurse the babies, darn the
socks, aud attend to the duties of the
house, and everything else of that
character which tends to wear out the
physical strength of women, while
your wife could loaf tor while around
some grog- shop. You would then be
fanatic yourself upon this question:
IF there is one of you here to- night
who should catch your wife loating
around saloon, you would apply for
divorce Inside of twenty-four hours
you would think if she were guilty Of
50 Infamous thing, she would be un'
worthy of such a specimen of manhood
as yourself; aud yet for all this you
Can Iinger about these places week at
ter week.
Fair play is jewel. II a saloon is q
poor place for a woman, it is a poor
place for a man; and if the drink and
what goes with it disgraces WI man
hood it certainly discredits manhood
also.
If you are not ready to take your
wife and children with you to the
dram-shop, you had better let them
take you with them to the church

cannot be very good for men.-Sate

location in the centre of the town,
west of the r. & @. road and upon
a beautiful elevation. There are
two front entrances. The plan will
give a church of such beauty ofcon-

any other church in The South, and
Pastor Pell says that it will be the
neatest and finest in any town of its
size.
Rev. Edward L. Pell is pastor of
this church, and is an intellectual
and growing preacher. In addition
to his pastoral work he is the editor

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-Lt.
Commander Marthou, of U. S. S. Pa
los, writing from King Kiang,
China, to his wife in this city under
date of June 2Sth, says: The Palos
reached there Juue 9Th. Fearing
that a riot had taken place at Wu-
sich, the night before he Immediate
ly proceeded up the river to that
place where he received information
from the Chinese customs clerk of
the killing of two men by rioters.
Marthou visited Stone, accompa-
MED by guides from Chinese gun
boats and found the body Of
Missionary Argent lying where he
fell at the door of the church which
had been pillaged by rioters. The
body of Customs Officer Green was
found lying in the street several
squares distant. The body had
been covered by Mats. Marthou
requested permission to take the
bodies aboard the Palos, but was
told that the inquest had no: been
held. He attended the inquest next
morning and describes the peculiar
method of the Chinese officials in
such matters, the inquest being de-
voted chiefly to the beating Of
drums, explosion of fire crackers
and other ceremonies. The cause
of the riot, he stated, was the
fact that Missionary Argent had
picked up four little orphans in the
country and was conveying them to
Hankow in the usual fashion in
baskets borne on the shoulders of
coolies. A street lounger asked one
of the coolies what was in the bas-
ket, the bearer refusing to answer,
the fellow raised the lid, disclosing
the children. The crowd which
had gathered raised a cry that the
missionary was taking the children
away to dig their eyes out and
forthwith attacked the church, kill.
ing Argent and plundering the
place. Customs officer Green was
met by the mob and killed while on
his way to assist the missionaries

A Girl Outraged and Her Assailant
Shot.
(By the United Press. J

MONTREAL, July 23.--At Sher-
brook, Quebec,yesterday, the fifteen
year-old daughter of a prominent
resident of the town went berrying
with a companion. About half a
mile from home the girls met a WELL
dressed stranger, who, after a brief
conversation caught one of them
and dragged her in the field. The
other girl fled to the house of the
father Of the victim and told the
story. The crazed father arming
himself ard accompanied by the
girl started for the scene. On the
road they met man whom the girl
said was the person they sought and
the father instantly shot him dead.
A little further on his daughter was
found in terrible condition. 1t is
rumored that the man killed was
not the offender. The Montreal de-
tectives have been summoned to
Sherbrook and have started for
that place. The police here refuse
to give the names of the parties or
any further detail.

TENN EssEE TROU 8Tg.
Can the. United States Send Troops
TO Restore Order!
T3v r he United Press
Bv r he United Press


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-
Since the question has risen of send
ing Y. 5. troops to Tennessee should
a request be made fer them by the
Governor Of the State, army officers
have been examing the legal side ef
the question and doubt is expressed
if troops will be sent if asked for.
The constitution provides that the
President may render necessary
assistance with troops upon the ap-
plication Of the Legislature or the
Executive of the State when the
Legislature cannot be convened.
This is understood not to be the
case in Tennessee at present.
The Revised Statutes makes
it the duty of the President
to take such measures by the en-
ployment Of the militia, or the land
and naval forces OF either, or by
other means as he may deem neces-
saiy for the suppression Of domestic
violence obstructing the laws Of the
United States Of the State when
tending to deprive the people of the
State Of the privileges granted By
the Constitution Of the United
States. It is also held that the
President has large discriminating
powers in acting upon the applica-
tion for troops, and must first satisfy
himself upon the legality Of the de-
mand as well as upon the points of
necessity and equity. This makes
it by no means certain that if the
application is made it will be
granted.
