In railway car a man about sixty
years old came to sit beside me. He
had heard me lecture the evening be-
fore on temperance. Il am master of
a ship" said he, sailing out of New
York, and have just returned from my
fifteenth voyage across the Atlantic.
About thirty years ago | was sot,
shipped while dead drunk, and was
carried on board like "a log. When l
came to, the captain asked me, do
you remember your mother?" | told
him she died before | could remember.
WELL said he, Il am Vermont man.
When was young | was crazy to go to
sea- At last my mother consented /
should seek my fortune. My boy she
said, L don't know any thing about
towns and | never saw the sea. but
they tell me they make thousands of
drunkards. Now promise ms you'll
never drink a drop of liquor lie
said: 4 laid my hand in hers and
promised, as | looked into her eyes for
the last time. She died soon after.
I've been on every sea, seen the worst
kind of life and men-they laughed at
me as a milksop, and wanted to know
if | was co yard But when they of
fered me liquor, I saw my mothers
pleading face, and l never drank a
drop 1t has been my sheet anchor,
and owe it all to that. Would you
like to take that pledge? said he" My
companion took it, and he added, ut
has saved me. l have fine ship, wife
and children at home, and have help
ed others"
That earnest mother saved two men
to virtue and usefulness; how many
more, he who sees all can alone tell

i Charles n. Crittenton, the founder.
York City. The story of the begin
ming of this noble work touches all
hearts. for it began at the bedside of
dying child. \ few years ago little
Florence Crittenton with waning
breath pleaded, Papa, sing the Sweet
By-and-By; and though choked with
grief the father sang the beautiful
words and her beloved spirit iloated
heavenward on the wings Of song.
Though the by -and-by might be sweet.
life was overwhelmingly drcary with
out his darling Taking comfort from
the Savior's words, My peace give
unto you." he began to prove that he
was indeed follower of the lOwly Naz-
arene. So, with the Christ love in his
heart, he went down into the slums
and helped to uplift the fallen and one
night, when he was pleading with a
poor, erring girl to leave her life of
shame he said in the words of Christ,
Neither do l condemn thee. go and
sin no more" Through her tears, she
said, "Where can l go?" Quick as a
flash came the thought where could
she go. Scarce door, save door of
sin, is open to her; and then and there
he determined as memorial to his
little Florence, to found home where
those lost in the whirlpool Of shame
might be rescued and restored to
life of virtue. So, nine years ago, was
opened the first Florence Crittenton
mission, a large four story house, where
food, shelter and clothing and a home
are freely given, and under the influ-
ence of the w. c. T. U. matron, hun
dreds become Christian women. Over
ve-hundred girls annually find
home here and three -fourths of them
are redeemed. Missions have been es-
tablished in other states. representing
an investment of a quarter of mil
lion of dollars. Plans are made with
the w. c. T. U. to found a mission in
every large city i'll America and Eu
rope, under the leadership of Miss
Willard and Lady Henry Somerset.
AS an evangelist, Mr. Crittenton is
wonderfully blest of God, and though
himself an Episcopalian, being an Off
Ger in Holy Trinity Church, Harlem,
New York. he is perfectly at home in
the pulpits of all denominations,
where he is warmly welcomed by all
the pastors.

A MURDER COMES TO LIGHT.
A Mysterious Case Explained by
Death Bed Confession.

BANGOR, Me-, Jan. 8.-The confession of
man In a logging camp in the northern
part of.this state while on his death bed
explains the mysterious death of a man
named Walker, who was found shot In the
woods two years ago.
Walker, who had been laboring in the
forest in the Seboomook lake region
started out of the woods with about $500
which he had earned in his possession
While on his way he came to camp occu-
pied by two men, and asked to be allowed
to stay there that night. His request was
granted.
According to the confession, soon after
ward one of the men to whom the camp
I belonged asked Walker to 90 to spring
near by and get some water He started
to do so, but as soon as his back was
turned the man seized gun and shot him
The wound was mortal one, but the
woodsman did not expire for an hour
While lying bleeding ON the ground he
asked the man who had shot him why he
had done so, and received the reply that it
was for his money
The murderer and his companion took
the dying man to bear trap, placed his
hands in 1t, so that 1t would look as though
death had been caused by his being caught
there, and left him.
1t was the companion OF the murderer
who recently died and made the confession
before passing away. The murderer is still
at large somewhere in the northern part OF
the state,

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Unless the DMgenoiss Of the Finances
Make Session Imperative.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8-The recent CON
ference between the president-elect and
Speaker Crisp was expected to result In
some authorized announcement on the
subject of an extra session. While these
anticipations have not been realized, as
Speaker Crisp has studiously refrained
from giving out any statement as to what
passed between Mr. Cleveland and him
self, something in the nature of a state
ment on good authority, is being passed
around among the Democratic leaders.
This runs to the effect that while no final
decision will be made on the question of
an extra session of congress until Febru.
ary, by which time the cabinet OF Presi
dent-elect Cleveland will probably have
been selected, the probabilities are decid
edly against an extra session before next
autumn. Mr.. Cleveland, it is stated, has
said to Democratic leaders in congress that
he viii call congress together In special
session. He also told them, it is reported
that it would not be convoked before at,
tumn unless the financial situation and the
condition OF the treasury made it abso-
iutely imperative that congress should
meet in the spring

lalse publishes an interview with M. Lou
bet as TO the attitude of the chamber to-
ward the Panama canal scandal M. Lou
bet says that the chamber rushed head
long, without consideration or preparation
into the Panama inquiry. The deputies
seemed suddenly to have lost their senses,
and they outbid each other in over zeal
olisness and reckless accusation. Doubt
less the scandal was bad enough, but the
bad Judgment of the chamber had fostered
erroneous conceptions among the people of
Its magnitude. Such an excessive ont
burst of prudery must have its reaction,
and thus defeat many of its own ends.
The most extravagant hopes had been
raised among the disleyal parties by the
recklessness shown in the chamber, and
the whole fabric of republican institutions
In France had been endangered. Unless
great care and tact were exercised CON
stantly in the next few weeks the men who
mad behaved so fanatically might have
startling proofs of the errors into which
Hthey had fallen and caused others to fall
Every effort must be made to wind up the
whole Panama affair before next March in
