THE TOWN sUNDAYgsCHooL Asso-
CITATION

Owing to lack of notice, the meeting of
the town Sunday school association at the
Methodist church last evening was not so
largely attended as some of the preceding
meetings, but a lively interest in the work
was manifested. The first number on the
program was discussion upon the subject,
"How to retain young men in the Sunday
school, which was led by Rev. G.. O. Day
in Gen. Estey's absence. Mr.. Day held
that the atmosphere of the Sunday school
should be made attractive to young men.
There are three ways of conducting Sun
day school exercises. First, to make them
stiff and advanced as if for old people;
second, to conduct as if for little children,
making everything childish; and third,
the proper method, so to conduct as to Sc
cure the cooperation and respect of the
adult members and still recognize the chill
dren. He noted some of the benefits of
class organization where the class is of
sufficient size, and the cultivation of class
feeling, and alluded to the class of 800
men taught by Mrs. Burnham in the First
church at Springfield, attributing her sue
cess in the work not to the fact that she
taught them on Sunday, but to work done
through the week. l.. w. Hawley also
spoke briefly on the subject.
Following this, DIR. A. p. Foster of Bos-
ton, New England secretary of the Ameri-
can Sunday school union, spoke of its
work, confining his talk chiefly to the work
in Vermont, though touching upon the
general work. He told of the labors of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kinney, who have been in
Vermont for about year, being now sta
toned in Rutland county. They are do
ing schoolhouse work, going into districts
remote from churches, establishing Sun
day schools, and through them introduce
ing evangelstic work, never interfering
with the work of local churches, but en-
deavoring to reach the outlying districts
which are outside the reach of these
churches. Twenty or more Sunday schools
have been established in Vermont by Mr.
and Mrs. Kinney, who in winter engage in
evangelistic work. The American Sunday
school union was formed 10 years ago, by
a union of all denominations, and now has
over 100 men and women in its employ,
doing work similar to that described.
Following DR.. Foster, Rev. A. j. Hough
spoke on "The true aim in Sunday school
teaching" emphasizing strongly the need
of having the proper seed, the Word of
God, and a proper condition of the soil to
receive the seed, and the need of something
beyond a mere mental assent to the doc
trines of the Bible. Mr.. Hough spoke
with feeling of the need of more spiritual
work in the class and during the week
days. The session proved a very benef-
cial one. The association re0rganzed by
the choice of Gen. }. j. Estey as presi
dent, succeeding Prof. II. II. Shaw.

Morton for Governor of New York.

The New York Republicans held their
state convention at Saratoga Tuesday and
nominated Hon. Levi p. Morton for gov
ernor on the first ballot by an overwhelm-
ing vote. The nomination was subse-
quently made unanimous. State Senator
Charles r. SaXton was nominated for lieu
tenant governor. The platform adopted
extends "heartiest greetings to the Republi
cans of Vermont and Maine" and severely
arraigns the Democratic party.for its course
of 'perfidy,' "dishonor" and general in
competency during the past eighteen
months.

The Peary main expedition and the
auxiliary expedition, which was sent to
his relief as arranged, reached St. Johns,
n. F., last Saturday, from Falcon Harbor,
Greenland, with all well on board. 1t was
a surprise to find that Peary and two mem
bers of his party, Lee and Hanson, had re-
mained behind to complete explorations
next. season, which bad weather and un-
favorable ice conditions made impossible
last spring. The returning explorers bade
good-by TO Lieut. Peary Aug. 2S, as he was
sailing away for Falcon Harbor in an open
whale-boat. The expedition had been in
creased by one member, Miss Ahnigato
Peary, who was born Sept. u, 1898. Her
Eskimo nurse, the first of her tribe to come
South of the Arctic circle, accompanied the
mar rrty.

The state convention of Tillman Demo-
Gratis of South Carolina was held Wednes-
day.E One section of the platform, as at
first drawn, denounced President Cleve-
land ''for failing to carry out the pledges
of the party, and for prostituting Congress
by patronage to carry out his policy" but
this was finally killed, and no mention of
the President or the national administra-
tiOn was made.

The Ohio Democratic state convention,
held at Columbus Wednesday, was marked
by bitter, though indirect attack on Sen
ator Brice, who sat on the platform and
heard speeches which made him grow very
nervous and red in the face. A resolution
favoring the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people was
adopted as part of the party platform.
The platform also declares for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
IL to l, and denounces the A. p. A. and
all organizations which make religious be-
lief test of political preferment.

The Way to Save.

1.-The way to get rich is to save money
by regular SYSTEM" said the president
of a savings bank to the writer. "One
of our depositors early in the existence
of this institution was newsboy. He
sold papers on Pennsylvania avenue
Every day he came in and deposited
twenty-five cents. He never missed q
day when the bank was open. and after
awhile he had accumulated over a thou
sand dollars. He drew out the cash and
bought piece of land with it. Now he
is we'll to do citizen.
'The difficult thing with most people
is to make the first start in saving. A.
ter one has got together few dollars in
reserve fund an appetite for accumu-
lation is acquired. It becomes an object
in life to put something aside, which rep
resents an insurance against misfortune.
People in this country are not much
given to saving compared to Europeans.
They usually live up to the last penny
of their incomes or just little beyond.
This is certainly very unfortunate. In
case of loss of employment suffering for
the wage Garner and his family is apt to
follow. Washin9ton Star.

Facts About Caves.

Caves have in all ages of the world ex-
cited the awe and admiration of mankind
and have been the centers around which
cluster many queer legends and supersti-
tions. They. were the abodes of the sibyls
and the nymphs of Roman mythology. and
in Greece they were the early temples Of
Pan, Bacchus, Pluto and the moon. They
were also the places where famous oracIe~
were delivered.
Their names not unfrequently show the
survival of some superstitious ideas of the
earlier world, for example, the '"Fairy's,"
Dragons" and Devils" cave. which are
so numerous all over the world. Cave ST.
perstition remained longer in Germany
than any other country, and the Little
Men," which formally were supposed to in
habit the forests. are in some Rhenish To-
calities still believed to exist in the form of
leave elfs. Philadelphia Press.

An Artilleryman In Skirts.

The village of Southall was the scene of
curious incident the other day. A young
artilleryman who had exceeded his leave
and had been classed as deserter, having
been arrested, was being conveyed under
escort to the railway station en- route to the
military depot, when he suddenly bolted
and quickly disappeared. For upward Of
an hour the sergeant and two privates
secured the neighborhood in search of their
prisoner, but all in vain, and were making
their way back to the station. when their
attention was directed to what was appar-
emily closely yelled female of remarkably
fine figure who was hurrying along short
distance ahead of them. The suspicious of
the sergeant were at once aroused, and Or
dering his men to double" the escort sur
prised the ''lady" as she was about to cross
a meadow leading into the open country.

veil, beneath which be discovered, as he an

Women Are Not IncOnstant.

The authors of the past seem to have
thought that they could not make tale
in verse Or prose romantic or interesting
unless they should introduce inconstant
heroines to their readers. and for this
purpose they were ready to defame the
whole sex, at least by implication. WO-
man is constant ON instinct, on principle.
by enlightened policy, by mere self in
terest. Her inward prompting and out
ward advantage conspire to the same
end She is doubly guarded. Man is
differently constituted. Principle alone
must. as a rule. hold him steady. and
comparatively few of his sex, it must be
admitted, act on principle in this regard.
Woman is homogeneous; man and in
fact male animals generally are polyg-
amous. Monogamy is but another name
for constancy, as polygamy is for incon-
stancy.
Whatever man may assume, he does
not believe that women, generally, are
unstable. His attitude and entire con-
duct toward them demonstrate this. If
such was his conviction, he would not
marry: he would not jeopardize his
honor, his peace of mind, his precious
self love. Marriage would, in time.
cease to be custom; for marriage, So
ciety. civilization. depend absolutely on
woman's fidelity to the matrimonial
bond, not as a theory alone, but as a
sacred truth. Man thinks. with reason,
that some, perhaps many. women are
disloyal. But it always seems to sur
prise him; it is different from his expec-
tation, otherwise he would not raise
such a clamor about it. The incon-
stancy of women generally is con-
scious and shallow pretext, more SO to-
day than ever. Nature, society. science,
law, men, all demand the exact con-
trary, and their demand is fully met
