amending the resolutions so as to make
them read thus:
Resolved, That we invite all such,
without any reference to their political
affiliations or opinions on any other
subject, to join in the movement which
we propose to make; that we have no
purpose to fight or favor any political
party as such; that the end which we
seek to accomplish land short of which
we will never rest satisfied) is the abo-
lition of the open saloon, and we there
fore proceed to effect an organization
on the basis above indicated, with a
view to electing Legislature pledged
to secure the right to municipalities
which may so desire to avail them
selves of the petition feature of the
Mississippi law, in order to Danish the
saloon within their corporate limits.
This report was adopted with virtual
unanimity. 1t will be seen that the
amendment drops out the declaration
of antagonism to the distilleries, and
proposes to ask the Legislature for
nothing except 'the petition feature of
the Mississippi law" 1t is matter of
regret to us that the position of the
original resolution should have been
so toned down. The distillery is the
fruitful parent of the open saloon. To
close the one it is necessary to stop the
other. We feel sure, moreover, that
the mere introduction of the petition
feature into our statute book, unless it
is accompanied with number of the
other drastic provisions of the Missis-
sippi Code. will not be of great service.
Nevertheless, we are too much i'll earn
est on this subject to refuse our coop
Grafton; and, as far as in us lies. we
shall lend helping hand. Let it be
understood, once for all, that this is
purely a nonpartisan movement. The
canvass must be put into the hands of
men who will hold it inside of the lines
that have been laid down. Let it also
be understood that all abusive and vlo-
lent methods are to be eschewed. OF
..red hot campaigns" we have had
enough. What we want now is ra-
tional and sober appeal to the thinking
people of the Commonwealth.

Miss Isabelle Tod and Her Work for Tenn
perance.
This little item concerning Miss Tod
is given, supposing it may interest some
of our temperance people. 1t appear
ed in the Memphis Scimitar of Jan.
18th, 1894:
Miss Isabelle Tod, who has made her
name known all over Great Britain by
her eloquent advocacy of temperance,
social purity, the higher education of
women and woman's suffrage, is an I'll
ster woman, but like many of the Ul-
ster folk, she is of mixed Scotch and
Irish descent, being on one side de-
scendant of stern covenanters.
Miss Tod was first led to take inter.
est in temperance questions when Wis
iting as member of Presbyterian
church among the working people of
Belfast. She daily saw in drink a
source of poverty and degradation as
we'll as of domestic discord and misery,
and resolved to devote her life to COM
bat the evil She is frequently heard
in London on anti-drink platforms, as
also in favor of women's suffrage. Miss
Tod is about the middle height, with
penetrating eyes and an eloquent
mouth. Her fine brow is crowned by
abundant silvery hair. She reckons
among her friends Mrs. Fawcett, Miss
Helen Blackburn and most of the 9th
er women prominent in public life. or
late years Miss Tods activities have
been largely engrossed by politics.
Coming of fighting stock Miss Tod
does not lack courage to denounce all
that she holds to be immoral or inju-
rious to the temporal and eternal wei
fare of those in whom she is interested,
and her Irish blood shows in the natu-
raj and unstudied eloquence that is
her birthright.

The following letter from Hon. VIM.

itself and shows why the Constitution

Mrs. L. S. Mount Grecnvile, Miss.
My DEAR MADAM:-It is due you to
state why the proposed amendment to
the Constitution to prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors in the State never
came to a vote 1t was referred to the
Committee on Liquor traffic, of which
Hon. T. II. Underwood, of Alcorn, was
Chairman. He called meeting of the
committee to consider the matter but
could not get quorum of the mem
bers together, and therefore could
make no report upon it. | asked him
to make report but he could not for
the reason above stated. He returned
the resolution to the Clerks desk dur
ing my absence, but forgot to mention
the matter to me until Tuesday, of last
week when it was too late to pass it
through the two houses three several
days before adjournment as by the
Constitution required. | regret that
we were unable to obtain a vote upon
it, though as told you and Mrs. Smell,
do not believe it would have received
the necessary two thirds vote any way.
agree with you ladies if local Prohi-
bition is good thing State Prohibi-
ton is better.
The bill exempting from taxation the
property of the w. G. T. U. became a
law on last day of session.

The following extract from the Nash
vile Christian Advocate will show
what kind of move is being made in
our sister State, Tennessee, to further
the cause of temperance.
Instead of copying our Mississippi
way of doing things I wish they could
rise in the majesty of great Christian
people and demand strict Prohibition
for the whole State. Still we are proud
of the fact that our State has done even
as much as it has in the good work and
is worthy to be copied after at all. God
speed the day when we can be free
from the whole vile curse of the whis-
ky traffic:
Some months ago the Rev. Geo. r.
Stuart announced that he would call
together during the early part of the
present year a number of the friends
of temperance to take steps for secur-
ing the adoption of the Mississippi
plan in Tennessee. We heard nothing
further of the matter till we were in
vited to be present at a meeting in Nc
Kendree Church, on the 31st ult. Asa
matter of course we were glad to go.
When the meeting was organized, the
following paper was presented:
Whereas, The traffic in intoxicating
liquors is the most prolific source of
the evils that afflict our modern socie-
ty; and
Whereas, The time seems to have
fully come for taking some further &C
ton toward suppressing its ravages in
the State of Tennessee; and
Whereas, 1t is greatly important that
there should be the most complete uni
ty of effort among all those who are
looking to the attainment of this end;
therefore,.
Resolved, That we invite all such,
without any reference to their politi-
Cal affiliations or opinions on any 9th
er subject, to join in the movement
which we propose to make; that we
have no purpose to fight or favor any
political party as such; that the end
which we seek to accomplish, and short
of which we will never rest satisfied, is
the abolition of all saloons, and the
humiliation of all distilleries; but that
comprised about as we are by practi-
cal difficulties that hinder the imme-
date execution of our final aim, we
proceed to effect an organization on
the basis above indicated, with view
to electing Legislature pledged to
extend the four mile law to cities of
5000 inhabitants, and to give us gen
eral liquor law corresponding for sub
stance to the one now in operation in
the State of Mississippi.

a MATRIMONIAL CONSPIRACY.
Several matchmaking Russian Mothers De-
tected In "A DisgracefuI Scheme.

Father John Sergieff of Cronstadt is
probably the most universally popular
priest in the Russian Orthodox church.
His prayers and benedictions are be-
sought by the grievously sick and un-
fortunate in nearly every government Of
European Russia, by letter and by tele-
graph, so implicit is the public conf
dence reposed in his piety and wisdom.
Father John himself is a man of simple
life, making no pretensions whatever TO
extraordinary sanctity, of modest habits
and lavish to the last ruble Of his con-
siderable income in relieving the neces
sitous, making no distinction of creed
or race.
Not little indignation has there
fore been raised by the discovery in the
government of Orel that the good ia
theirs reputation has for some time past
been wickedly traded upon by number
of designing mammas who have unmar-
ried and dowerless daughters to dispose
of These solicitous matrons, sometimes
acting in concert, but in different To-
calities have fabricated letters of adj
vice, purporting TO be written by the
worthy priest of Cronstadt, recommend
ing particular matrimonial alliances be-
tween their daughters and certain piOus
young bachelor neighbors as being di
vinely ordained.
These spurious letters proved success
full bats in very many instances, but
eventually the maternal conspiracy was
detected, and it is now probable that
the more guilty of the intriguing
mothers and matchmaking spinsters OF
Orel will have to do penance for their
iudiscretions in conventual retreat be-
fore Father John absolution is granted
and the civil authorities are satisfied.

PUNISHED FOR CURIOSITY.
\ Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.

4 Learned Chinese Doctor Pays Dearly For
Little Innocent Sightseeing.
1t is dangerous to crafty curiosity or
to violate precedent at the Chinese i'm
perial court. The empress dowager is a
great stickler for etiquette. Recently
she required the services of DR.. Ii Te
Oh 'ang, vice president of the Imperial
Academy of Physicians, at Picking, for
one of the members of her suit at Eho
Park palace. The learned doctor had
never been inside these famous palace
grounds, and his curiosity was fired to
see the many curious objects of which
he had heard wonderful tales. So le
bribed a palace eunuch to show him
around the grounds.
While the two were leisurely walking
about and enjoying themselves the en-
press spied them. She at once dis
patched servants to punish their etfrOn-
terry. The eunuch was seized, thrown
OH his face and accommodated with so
blows with the bamboo on the calves of
his fat legs. The doctor was locked
three months pay and received severe
reprimand, while his assistant was or
dered never to venture again into the
empress presence.
The affair created sensation because
of the high position of the physician
and of the humiliating punishment
dealt out to him.-New York Sun.
