The temperance congress for Kent
was held April 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and no
effort was spared to make it even a
greater success than that of last year
at Maidstone.
On the opening day thirteen differ
ent sections of Temperance workers
at the same hour held separate confer
ences on their own work. The general
included "a great recep-
ton meeting, conferences, business
meetings, and public meetings Among
the subjects discussed were ''Drink,
its relation to poverty and trade
I" Restrictive laws and their enforce
ment,'" Farm home for inebriates."
The list of speakers included some
names. - Foreign Tenn

All the signs, and also the public ut
terances of their leaders, go to prove
that drink producers and drink-sellers
intend to go - solid against all legis-
lative interference with the traffic in
drink. Every thing that unscrupu-
lous tactics, backed by enormous
wealth, can do to prevent effective
temperance reform, we may be sure
will be done. Never was there time
when there was greater need for the
vigorous action of all temperance or
CARNATIONS, and especially for the Law
ish dissemination of temperance lit
erature.

Morals and Politics

The question as to which should gov
ern a man, morals or politics, is easily
settled in theoretical manner, but
when it comes to practical test it
takes courage to settle it. We are at
all times to say that we are governed
more by the moral side of an issue
than by it's political influence. The
moral side is the right side in time
and the safe side in eternity. Upon
which will man be judged, his NOR
ais or his politics? A mans politics
may be all right and his morals wrong
or his morals may be all right and his
politics wrong. Our politics should be
regulated by our morals and made to
conform to them. Our morals should
be in keeping with a strict test, and
then our politics would shine as bright
at one time as another if it was regu-
lated by a sense of moral duty. Try
your vote by this test and see how it
fits.-Selected.

The Medical Pioneer recently called
attention to the recklessness with
which doctors continue to order slim
ulants to their patients. One case
named was that of a young lady order
ed port-wine as cure for chronic neu-
ralgia in the head. The Pioneer says,
though the wine might deaden nerve
pain for time, it could not remove
the cause of the complaint. Another
young lady suffering from anHmia was
ordered half-a- pint of port-wine daily.
To show the danger of this, we may say
that we know at the present moment
of lady ruined through indulgence in
brandy first ordered by her doctor, but
continued when no longer needed.

A Temperance Girl.

Orpha is six years old. Her large
blue eyes have a sweet, innocent ex-
preston, and her hair hangs in long
yellow curls, looking like bars of gold
en- sunlight. When the boys and girls
began preparing for temperance en-
tertainment to be given at the pretty
white church near her home, Orpha
felt very much sighted that no notice
had been taken of her, and to her
mamma she expressed her grief at the
neglect. She had friend who always
understood the griefs of the little ones,
and she, too, felt that Orpha should
have assisted in the entertainment, so
she wrote little temperance poem
and taught her to recite it. When the
time for the entertainment arrived, the
church was crowded with people, and
Orpha was there dressed in pretty,
crimson cashmere, having on her bos-
ON the white ribbon badge, and hold
ing in her arms a doll which also wore
a tiny white bow.
At length. after number of large
boys and girls had spoken ''pieces"
and sung songs, Orpha was called. She
stepped out on the platform, carrying
her doll with her, and after graceful
bow recited so sweetly as to call forth
rounds of applause. Here is the little
''piece" as she spoke it:
I'm a temperance sirl, and dolly
Is a temperance dolly, too;
Every Speck and mite of hertemp'rance,
As grandmother says, true blue,
Dolly always has worn the white ribbon,
And though she knows nothing of beauN,
If gentleman doll should drink whisky
I'm sure she'd turn up her nose
Yes, dolly and are temprance
We will drink nothing stronger than tea;
And boys you must wear the white ribbon
Or you can't marry dolly and me.

For the first tiint

For the hrSt time In the history
of tie Convent school during the
school term it is closed; the doors
AMI windows are barricaded and
nailed down. 1t Will be remem-
bered that two Sisters left last week.
The remaining two Mary aud
Agnes have been recalled to Silver
City also by Mother Paula, who is
in charge of the Convent at that
place. Had our citizens known
the state of affairs they would have
subscribed sufficient funds to have
kept the school open for the term.
Mother Paula wrote one of our
citizens that she would probably
have the Sisters return here for the
opening of the next school term
and perhaps before. The Sisters
leave Yuma with the kindliest of
feelings toward our citizens. A
number of the pupils and young
lady graduates of the school were
at the train to see them off and say
goodbye.

A Wonderful COmquerOr.

No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed
down from generation TO generation, it
is found in nearly every family, IN
some form. 1t may made its appear
ance in dreadful running sores, in
swellings in the neck or goitre, or liz
eruptions of varied forms. Attrack-
ing the mucous membrance in may be
known as catarrh, or developing it the
lungs it may be, and often is, the
prime cause of consumption.
In whatever form scrofula may
manifest itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla is
its inveterate toe and conqueror. This
medicine has such powerful Alternative
and vitalizing effect upon the blood
that every trace of impurity Is expel-
led, and the blood is made rich, pure
and healthy.

DIED..

In Yuma.-Abraham Carpenter, Oct 20,
1894, aged rs years.
Saturday evening about s o'clock, MIR.
Carpenter passed into the Great Unknown
calmly and peacefully at his residence on
Madison avenue. Chronic heart disease
was the immediate cause of death.
Several days before his death he had a
severe attack of heart failure and was re-
covering rapidly under the care of his physi-
clan when he was seized with the second
attack and died AS had been her custom
during his last illness. Mrs. Carpenter had
Just helped him to disrObe and retire for the
night. Shortly after she had left the bed
room she heard him breathing heavily, but
as he frequently had such spells she did not
think anything unusual of it. Suddenly
the loud and distressing breathing ceased.
Mrs. Carpenter noticed it but thought he
had fallen asleep. Wishing to see if he was
resting easy she entered the sleeping apart
ment and on going up to the bed she made
the sad and painful discovery that her hus
band was dead.
Kind friends were called and the family
physician sent for, but medical science was
of no avail, the elderly and kindly beloved
father and husband, who has been seen on
our streets daily for the past four years,
was no more. His joys and sorrows alike
were over.
The deceased with his estimable wife
joined their son Harry here some four years
ago.
The funeral which took place Sunday at
3 o'clock was one of the largest ever seen in
Yuma.
The widow and son have the sympathy of
a large circle of friends in their hour of
sorrow.
