The attendance at Francis Murphy's temper
ance revival meeting last night was not az large
as on evenings previous, but great enthusiasm
was exhibited and the pledge found thirty
three new names.
The usual song service was followed by
prayer by the Rev. Thomas Mcguire.
Mr. Murphy then called on DIR. J. s. Mcclure
who came forward and related his experience
with two prominent lawyers of this city, who
came to him and told him that they had heard
that he had signed the pledge and wanted to
know his reasons. He told them that liquor
had been eating away his life and shortening
his days. One of the men came to his Office yes
terday and said that his vile wanted him to
come and talk about temperance. He was %
affected that he cried like a child aud he cried:

The doctor continued: "Thsy came, and told
them all about the effects of liquor, then 1 told
them how happy their wives would be If they
would sign and go home in the spirit OF truth
and God" DR.. J. s. Mcclure then read from q
book some verses of hymn, which he had read
TO his friends. He concluded his remarks by
saying:
II you see brother falling. help him There
Is change coming over Seattle, and thank
God for it. Murphy is my leader. / wish he
could stay In Seattle forever.
Thomas Mcnamara came forward and said:

little golden-haired, blus-eyed child came
up to the altar, and, looking up, smiled at Mr..
Murphy. He said:
God bless you little one, for of such IL the
kingdom OF heaven. May the Lord help us to
love the children, who are the pictures OF
heaven.
The little child, unconscious OF being q Gen.
tral figure, walked upon the stage, and going up
to Mr.. Murphy put her little face upto his and
kissed him.
The Rev. Thomas MCGUIRE, OF Spokane, was
called for and res ponded by saying that he was
g ad to be present for his own sake, and thought
that all could be bettered by the meeting. He
continued:
Look out for the roaring lion. He win come

came after him. He became angry and dealt

Mr.. Murphy then arose and said:

light had gone out of his eyes; his nose once
was red, but now was q sort of iron-rust color;

and came near falling. Ny wife was with me
