Hundreds of people were turned away from the Hyperion theatsr last evening, so great was the interest to hear T. E. Mur- phy, the temperance evangelist. The meeting began at half-past seven. and long before that time the hall was filled to over. flowing. The meeting was presided ove1 1 by Assessor Charles A. Baldwin, who spoke | of the work and of the intention of the committee to make the work permanent l with the movement of the citizens com mittee above referred to. Their intention is to build or rent hall in which meetingi of this kind can be held. The collection taken up at this meeting, he said, was to gt toward this movement. MT. Murphy the1 spoke for a few minutes and exhorted tn,
 people to give what they could toward thi
 object.
 G. B. Bunnel spoke of the work ant
 said that he was happy to have in hi
 power an opportunity for helping tn
 cause along, and that he would always b
 found ready to extend hand to the work
 CTS in such cause. Captain Frank M
 Lovejoy also spoke in the same strain, af
 ter which Dr. Sweet, who has joined tn , band and taken the pledge, also spoke g
 the request of Mir. Murphy. MT. Baldwi
 then turned the meeting over to MT. Mur
 phy, who said in part:
 I want to make correction in what
 said. I said that while I was in this cit | lad ro%v hor- To,
 weeks ago I spoke before an audience C !! of the Young Mems Christian association , and shortly after the secretary of the ssst , citation came to my wife and gave her SIS This have used to keep 8 man in an il
 stitution where hope God will help hil
 to fight off this disease which takes ava
 all manhood. I hope you will hel , us on in this work. Sometimes it is sai B that we are getting too much none, , We'll, what if we are; we are doing muc !. practical and substantial 50 that we ca
 have something on which to build. W f must help all poor unfortunates who al f in the spell of this curse. We must sho g them that we are here not to tell them tn,
 they should do this and do that. W
 should show them that we can and wi
 help them.
 yl After the address fully 300 came forwa, n and signed the pledge.
 The meeting of the afternoon, like tl j. meeting of the night was largely sttende }. and very successful, inssmuch as 156 can l, forward and signed the pledge. 8 At the close of last nights meeting }, was found that $150 had been subscribe !. for the work of establishing temperan ). hall.
 Yesterday MT. G. B. Bunnen, the man
 ger of the Hyperion theater, subscribed
 per cent. of the gross receipts of that hou }. next Wednesday night. This is vel generous of MT. Bunnell and in keepir
 with his nature. The subscription W g probably be goodly amount, as the pli J. which is to appear that night, Satan" is b particularly good play.
