Last Night.
The attendance at the Temperance meet
ing last night is estimated at 5000. After
the prayers, singing and reading of the
scriptural lesson Principal Tracy of the
High school was called upon to make a
speech, and said that he took great pleas
ure in endorsing the Murphy movement.
J. S. Galley, member of the COM
mittee, was inveigled upon the stage and
said that although he was not able to talk
Temperance from n platform, he tried TO
act it. He made hit at drug stores and
advised the authorities to go around some
Sunday and take peep into these places.
Rev DIR Anderson said: at seems to me
we ought to broaden out and recognize
more the relation of iAtemperance to
society at large. Do You think you who
go home drunk to your wife and children
| that it is only those you Snjure? You I'M
lure me. YOU injure your fellowmen, You
injure the commonwealth the nationl
| We must learn to educatsTsour children I'd
take this view of the matter"

him. He is curate to Father Treanor.

ment in which forget sectarianism."

nights and get acquainted with their

to all to sign the pledge. Nearly $50 ac-
