st. Paul Temperance Workers In q
MnAa Meeting.


st. Paul, March 26.-Three hundred of
St. Paul's most prominent and active
temperance workers gathered at Market
hall yesterday afternoon and held q eel
ebration in honor of Gen. Neal Dow, the
patriarch and hero of the prohibition
movement, who has just completed his
ninetieth year. The bitterly cold wealth.
er did not chill the ardor of these en-.
thusiastic workers. and the celebration
was a fitting tribute to a wonderful
man whose good works are known to
every household in the land, or to use
the words of W. S. Caine, NJ. F., 'Therc
is no speech nor language where his
voice has not been heard" I~nterspersed
between the various short addresses Of
the afternoon were patriotic musical Sc
lections, and the feature of this part OF
the programme was a song dedicated tf
the hero Of the occasion, set to the air Of
"Auld Lang Syne," and with words in
dicative of the life and words of the tenn
perance chief.

she needed the comfort they often Inn
part Her husband got from the con-
nection what he had counted on, bet
ter social position. With his own ac-
cumulations and the few thousands
come with her he built tho nice two
story mansion on Clarke street. and
dcported himself ms well as he could
learn hcw ia the circle 20 which she
had lifted him. He showed much
pride in the adornments which she
made about the house, and the trees
and flowers planted by her in the
front yard. Finding In time that she
had been married 10 man whom she
could not respect and therefore could
not love. the strength OF her charac-
ter enabled her 70 endure his society,
and 20 seem To ignore some low
irregularities which he took not very
much pains 10 hide from her. Dis
gustcd with his vulgar snobbishness
and that which he had injected into
his father, size became fond OF Cullen
for his opcnness and hearty simplicity,
and wished 10 live on entirely affec-
Tomato terms with him and Hannah,
but, yielding To her husbands in
functions, she observed the restraints
which she saw were unavoidable, yet
stroye not 10 hide her wish that rela-
tions were different. She had been in
the habit OF making brief calls when
on the way 20 or from the plantation
beyond, and Hannah, as often as Gull
len consented, had visited her in town.
Only In one matter did she act con-
trary 10 bis avowed wishes; that was
the old gentleman's hostility TO Han
nah and his consequent threats to cut
Cullen Oft from an equal share in his
estate. More than once. joining with
her mother-in-law, but employing
greater plainness Of speech, had she re-
monstrnted with him, and there was no
doubt that her behavior was the main
influence which began the change In
his attitude. When all prejudice
seemed TO be removed at the birth Of
IIannah's child. she was free 10 express
her heartfelt qualification. Hence
forth things went on as smoothly as
could be desired. IL was not possible
for Wiley and Cullen 10 make a show
OF affection which neither felt, and
which each knew was not felt by the
other. Yet they behaved with decent
civility whenever they met, and their
wives came to trust that their family
relations would become as they ought
10 be. The father, as happens often
with old men after the death OF their
wives, lapsed sensibly from the vigor
which hitherto he had maintained.
During this while he seemed TO have
grown more and more fond of Cullen
and Hannah. AZ the beginning OF his
last rapid decline, three years after,

he doesn't particularly wish TO hurt

would have been the same whoever
might have married. I'll admit that
latterly he has appeared somewhat
cordial, comparatively. Sister julia
may have had something 20 do with IL,
for she's just one Of the best women in
this whole world"
Well" she said, languidly, Its

stopped, smiled, kissed him, and said;

At once they ran into their habitual
cheerful chatting, in which were
some low-spolsen words about hope
and a prophecy very dear TO them
both.

Julia, her husband making no oppo-
sition, suggested that Hannah should
stay with them in the house. as her own
strength was not sufficient for con
slant attendance upon his increasing
needs. This was done. lie was care
fully watched by both sons and their
wives; but IL was easy 10 see that OF
all their ministrations those OF Cullen
were most acceptable To him. With
Cullen he sometimes held brief consul
tations which ended abruptly when
Wiley came I'm. Yet he protested TO
have equal affection toward all OF
them, held TO his faculties until near
the last, and died calmly, as IL he
knew full well that vain would be any
attempt to Withstand an enemy who
was Irresistible.
Waiting upon him so long, added TO
her other troubles, seemed 20 have
well-nigh Frustrated Wilcy's wife.
When they went home after the burial
Hannah said;
"Oh, Cullen! Sister Julia looked

sickness began, and never saw her SO

"Yes, she's going very fast, Did you
