These temperance workers have great faith
in newspapers. They unanimously agreed to
use their efforts to have as much temperance
literature printed as possible. During the
past year the newspapers in this state con-
tributed 2 200 columns of temperance reading
matter, which at the rate of 5 cents per line
would have amounted to $4,000. A very
pleasing plan of temperance work by this
organization, and one of the most successful
is the flower mission. 1t is claimed that
hundreds can be reclaimed for the temper
anoe cause by visiting them while lying upon
their sick bod and presenting them with
natures sweetest flowers and palatable fruit.
~
These temperance women work through
many channels, and where one proves AN.
successful they try another. 1 am informed
that the report of the committee on work in
jails shows that during the past year the
prison doors in this state have been opened
to 81, 600 prisoners, and ], ,223 children are in
the houses of correction. The work of this
department is to make iails reformatories
instead of penal institutions, and to show
with what success they are meeting with on
this line, at recent meeting in the Allie
gheny penitentiary 100 men and 60 women
signed the pledge. An attempt was made by
the union, during the recent session of the
Legislature to have a law passed compelling
the saloons TO be closed on Memorial Day,
but it was not successful. Many other ways
are used to reach fallen man by the union,
which the world never learns off, This work
is one performed strictly from sense Of
duty without compensation and without
fame, so far as the world is concerned. 1t has
no connection with the third party move
ment and is entirely upon a different line Of
action. ODE,

Well Against the Brooklyn Team-The
National Game Elsewhere.
The Orioles defeated the BrooSlyns
for the third successive time at Union

The score was .12 to 2 and the victory
was we'll deserved, as the Baltimores out
played their opponents at all points of
the game
Hawke pitched like an expert The
Brooklyns made but four singles and one
two base hit. Not more than one hit
could the visitors make in any one in
ming. When Griffin came TO the bat the
first time to begin the game Hawke sent
him to first base on four badly pitched
balls and that was the only base on balls
given by Hawke in the whole game.

All went well at first and the happy
pair went skipping lightly from rock to
rock with never n thought OF the future.
Soon they came to place where the

apart. The girl was timd and feared

sweet creature tenderly ard carefully
into his aims and made leap for the

He had reckoned without his host
The spirit was willing. but the flesh was

In certain small New England towr,
