TEMPERANCE TALK.

Hon. John 6. WOnley Opens His Ad-
dresses 10 an Overlooking Meeting
at,he central Prt sbyteIian Church
Iast Evening.
The Central Presby terian church was
crowded to its utmost capacity last night
to hear the opening address of Hon
John G. Wooley. of Minneapolis, the re-
n0wned temperance orator and philan-
thropist. 1t was through the Women's
Christian Temperance union and the
Ministerial association that Mr.. Woolev
had been engaged to conduct series os
six temperance meetings during the COM
ing week, and as nearly ali the churches
had suspended services last evening on
that account the result was that many
were disappointed at not being able to
even obtain standing room in the church.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev DR.. Taylor after which Mr.
Wooley was introduced by Rev j. II.
Kerr the psstortof the church. The
speaker began by saying that his remarks
would be little different from those of
bis average address from the fact that an
unusually: large number of young men
were present and on this account he
would more particularly address himself
TO them. He had chosen as his text the
words from Psalm 90
where w ihal Shall Young Man Cleanse
His Way
1t was a question:" he said. 'the
sDswersto which mary were seeking to-
night ard it wss natural for them TO do
So"
Itis easy for g young person 10 change
said the speaker, but it is altogether
different with an old one." Mr. Wooley
contendtd that if a person would be
successful to any degree in reformatory
measure of this kind he must be pos
sessed of the gospel of Chist and for this
reason he preached gospel temperance
to young men. He then went on to ex-
plain the meaning OF the gospel in his
text and gave abundant food for sober
reflection for young men, and in the
course ofs his remarks on the subject
spoke of the married men who lay
awake nights for fear that they will talk
in their sleep. The speaker then called
his arers' attention to the liquor traffic
as it exists in the country today, and the
necessity of lis prevention, and closing
gave his own experience as a victim of
the liquor habit and attributed his being
saved from drupkard's grave 10 his hav>
ing received the grace of God. He is an
unusually interesting sp skor and had the
closest attention from the large audience
present.
The series of meetings extend every
night this week and include meeting at
the First M. E. church on Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock when Mr.. Wooley
will speak more particularly to the
Women's Christlon Temperance Union,

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss b.
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, the Dis
covery" is an unequaled remedy.

10 their soOer senses ana generaI regret IS
expressed. That Coy should have been
hanged or shot is generally admitted by
everybody, but burning the poor wretch at
the stake was shock to civilization. The
mob was mostly composed of young
railroad men who lost their reason in
their thirst for revenge. The authorities
were pOwerless to prevent the mob from
carrying out its plans.
A Farce To BE Enacted.
1t is probable that the governor will be
asked to offer reward for the conviction
of the leaders of the mob, but a conviction
would not be secured unless a change of
venue could be obtained to Pulaski
county. There is strong talk among
influential citizens of calling a mass-meet-
ing to denounce the burning of Coy as
barbarous The citizens feel that unless
some such step is taken le affair will re.

was allowed to name the manner of death,
that of burning, and that she came into

1t didn't take u minute for the conduc-

and all made rush for him, but they had
reckOned without their host, for the
stranger pointing a brace of revolvers at
the crowd, said: "Oh, no boys: keep easy
aud don't be in hurry" He then backed
up little ways, keeping the crowd at bay
with his threatening pistols, then turned
and ran across the tracks to where a coal
train drawn by one of the heavy Hog"

on the front car he Vncoupled the engine
from the train, climbed over the water

When Woman Will Do Thus why Bottle er
with Civilization at All?
There was moment of silence and then
another shout went up:
''Let Mrs. Jewell apply the matchl Let
Mrs. Jewell set him off"
Walking slowly, very pale but collected
the woman emerged from the crowd. Her
appearance before them set the crowd wild
and a mighty cheer went up that almost
shook the ground on which they were
standing. The crowd fell back at her ap-
proach, making a pathway for the brutal
negro's victim, who, leaning on the arm
of q male relative on either side, walked
unhesitatingly forward to where the negro
stood pinioned, struck parlor match and
with the utmost deiberation fired the
negro's clothes in two places.

Ia o second the poor wretch was one
mass of flames, but even then his wonder
full nerve, exhibited ever since his arrest,
never forsook him, and while suffering
the tortures of fire he acsua1ly called TO
the men of the assembly and in q clear
voice requested of them: "Move back 80
that the ladies can see." The flames shot
high above his head, curling in waves
about his body and limbs Coy set
his teeth, and throughout the hideous Or
deal made little noise, only uttering few
groans. He died in about twenty minutes
after Mrs. Jewell set him on fire
If Innocent, What Matter?
A few minutes before he was taken out
to meet his awful fate he was seen by a re-
porter. He did not seem at all nervous,
and protested his innocence, saving at the
same time that he felt sure he was about
to be put to death He reiterated his de-
nial of guilt while the mob was struggling
with him on the streets and died with the
lie on his lips,as there is not the shadow of
doubt as to his guilt.

Grand Lodge Proceedings.

Following are the proceedings OF
the A. o. U. w. Grand Lodge held at
Salt Lake City. Utah, Aug. II to %,
1882:
A majority Of all the Lodges Of
Nevada were represented at Salt
Lake, twenty delegates being present
from THE State. Little actual legis-
lation was attempted on account of
the separation soon to take place.
Articles Of agreement were drawn fix
ing the status Of the different juris-
dIctions after separation. If on Jan.
l, 1893, the States and Territories OF
Utah, Wyoming, and Idaho shall have
q membership Of two thousand they
will form separate jurisdiction to
be called the Grand Lodge of Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho. The Grand
Lodge of Nevada will consist OF the
State OF Nevada only. There Is no
donbt that this separation will be
very much for the benefit of the
Order in Nevada All legislation will
hereafter be done by Nevada men
only, who understand much better
the wants Of our people than could
be expected from any man hailing
from Utah or Wyoming. Large sums
OF money will be saved in mileage
alone. A saving Of $1,000 per year
