THE w. c. t. U. CONVENTION.


Thursday, September Is, was red let.
ter day for Stepney, for on that day the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union OF
Fairfield county held their semi-annual
convention in the Baptist church and in
the evening Demorest gold medal con-
test was held in the Methodist church,
the contestants being seven holders OF
silver medals. Stepney is two miles
Union in the county but one responded
to the roll call. Mrs E. Palmer of SIAM
ford, president of Fairfield county, pre-
sided In an acceptable manner. Miss
Grace I. Curtis Of Stepney, secretary OF
Fairfield county, had a prominent place
on the platform and presided at the or
gan. Two of the State officers, Mrs s.
b. Forbes of Hartford, president of the
State and Mrs M. Andrews of Stamford,
State corresponding secretary, were on
the platform and cheered by their words
of kindly greeting. A brief devotional
service in the morning, noontide prayer
by Mrs Forbes, Bible reading and 10y
al Legion meeting, conducted by Mrs G..
III. Fitzgerald, a fine address on the
chemistry and physiology of alcohol (il-
lustrated) by Rev j. I'll. James, secretary
Of the Connecticut Temperance Union,
were some of the principal attractions on
the program, but far above all these the
inspiration and cheer of the heart to
heart intercourse of Christian wives and
mothers, all interested in the common
cause Of God and home and native land.
The platform Of the pretty little church
was tastefully decorated with motto,
banner, golden rod, cat tails, hydrangeas,
clematis, Gamma and bouquets Of cut flow
ers.. Rev Mr. Sands, pastor of the New
field Methodist church Of East Bridge
port, gave pleasure by his rendering of
sacred solos. Mrs E. M. Botsford, pres
ident of Stepney w. G. L. u, with her
customary modest demeanor, gave brief
address of welcome, hoping that all the
exercises Of the day would be according
to the will OF the Heavenly Father. Mrs
Fitzgerald responded with pleasant MEM
cries OF former visit. Misses Carrie
Hull and Mamie White and Master Will
liam Goodenough acted acceptably as
pages. Mrs Walters of South Norwalk
and Mrs James Of Buell. Union were APP
pointed committee on credentials and
Mrs c. III. Fitzgerald on courtesies.

GET THE BEST.

An elderly physician, whose expert
ence with debility and blood diseases,
has been very successful, informed the
writer that there was only one patent
medicine that he ever recommended
his patients tn take, and that was DR. L.
John Bulls Sarsaparilla. He frequent
ly permitted his patients to use it as a
tonic, and sometimes he recommended
it to be taken with a half ounce of
iodide of potash added in cases when
the effect of blood poisoning was very
severe, and required powerful anti
dote. Bulls Sarsaparilla is highly
concentrated extract of roots and herbs
recognized in medicine as alternatives,
and blood cleansers. No better Vege-
table blood remedy can possibly be
compounded, and in the majority of
blood diseases, Bulls 'Sarsaparllla will
effect cure. 1t is only in very ex-
treme cases that the addition Of iodide
of potash is suggested.

SCENES.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1892-04-28

Readers of great city dailies, un-
acquainted with the ways of the
newspaper factories" are inclined to
look upon them merely as something
which is turned out of press, and lose
sight of the many sacrifices made by
reporters and other workers in gather
ing and preparing the news. When
Fred Hamilton, a reporter of the New
York Advertiser, was attacked with
typhus as result of investigating in
person the tenement houses where the
fever appeared, his fellow reporters
thought it was rather a joke. They
said that more than per cent of those
attacked with the scourge died, and
there was no prospect at all that their
comrade would immOrtalize himself by
dying in the discharge of his duty. At
any rate,it was no more than any other
fellow would have done they said. But
when the word came that Hamilton
had died, a new face was put on things
and even the newspaper boys stopped
their chatting and looked grave. Hs
died because of his desire to put his
paper first among those giving reliable
and readable news of the plague, al d
it was as much loyalty to the editor in
chief, Col. John A. Cockerill, as any
thing else that led him to take the risk.
But it was true, what the reporters
said: ANY other fellow would
have done it"-any other reporter. tina t
is. In their enthusiasm for their papers
they take their lives in their hands in
many parts of this union daily. And
they lose their lives. In fire, in ice, in
tempest, in battle and pestilence the
soul of many and many reporter has
gone out upon the unknown.
