HUMANE NOTES.

Mrs. Tiff. a member Of the
Sub Executive committee of the A.
H. A., kindly gives us this Report:
The 18th Annual Congress Of the
American Humane Association met
in Evansville, Ind, Oct. 9th for a
session Of three days. Prominent
Humane workers were in attendance
from all parts Of the U. S. The first
day was taken up by receiving Gre
dentials from delegates and hearing
the reports from officers and from the
constituent societies. The second
day was devoted to the pressing
needs of more humane education in
allschools, and especially in those
public schools, academies, and semi
naries, where dissection and viyisec-
'tion.are' included in the curriculum.
Pres. Shortall in vigorous terms
Expressed horror and detestation OF
such acts committed before pupils;
and said all Americans should arse
and demand the with drawal Of such
demoralizing and brutalizlng proceed
ings from all schools. DR.. A. j.
Kepler, of Cincinnati, declared that
when he first heard Of viyisection
in school, he could not believe such
enormity was possible.
Letters were shown in reply to
a circular on this cubject sent out by
DR.. Albert Lefingwell, to ecuca-
tors and literary men in..America and
foreign countries. Two large pack
ages OF these letters numbering sew
eral hundreds, proved to be most in
teresting reading. Head Master,
Percival, of Rugby England, could
not conceive the reason for teachers
stepping outside legitimate work to
brutalize young lads and maidens.

the Congress, above reported, was
over to form State organization for
Indians. Mrs. Tiff urges the scat
tered Humane Societies of Tennessee
to organize State Association, and
forcibly assures us that such union
will give new strength to each local
organization, bringing into operation
and carrying on its own strictly state
work. A part Of State work will ol
course be the encouragement Of HUI
name persons to form local organiza-
tons. Just here we would give u.
great pleasure to aid by correspond

MISS ROGERS ADDRESS.
She Makes an Appeal for the Saliva
tion of the ThorouRhbrSds

She Makes an Appeal for the Saliva
tion of thu Thoroughbrsds.
Miss Ella Clementine Rogers, the
we'll known total abstinence advocate.
delivered an address before the young
mems meeting at Association hall at
3 45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Her
subject was Save the Thorough
breds."
BY the thoroughbreds Miss Rogers
said she meant first. those who having
been reared in the atmosphere of re
finement, go out into what may be
designated as good society aud are ex
posed to the temptations it offers; and
secondly, those reared in humble lif e,
who have by means of their ambition
and brain power, risen to prominence
in the world.
The speaker dwelt upon the danger
to which these are exposed and gave
many instances where men of years
aud might have drowned their useful
ness in the wine cup.
An old crowbait of horse, she said,
would stand for years an amount OF
abuse that would kill a thoroughbred
in six months, and from this statement
she argued that we must pay for our
extra development by extra care.
In referring to the assertion of a
newspaper writer that while Darwin
declared that it took 20, 900 generations
to develop man from the monkey, yet
three fingers of Chicago whisky would
transfer man into a monkey in
twenty minutes The speaker said that
she supposed Scranton whisky would
do the same thing.
There WAS some good singing by the

A Minooka Mob,s Attack.

As disgraceful an occurrence as ever

Dr. Manley was called to attend the
children an1 stated that both were
only very slightly bruised. The girl,
however, having some eontusions on
the head together with the shock, may
take little time to recover entirely.
She may be very nervous for a month

The speed of the Car at the time of the
mishap was about four miles an hour,

both escaped the wheels, and that

a Wilkes-Barrsan, Tells of Whittier 3
Relation to American History.
Most of the representative Hebrews
of this city and II number from Pitts
ton and Wilkes Barre were at the Ex
celsior Clubs rooms yesterday after
noon to hear S. J. Strauss lecture on
The Relation of John c. Whittier to
American History" The theme of the
speaker was unique and in substance
was as follows;
The subject is considered entirely
in relation to the poets influ-
euce upon the statesmen Of his
time; it bore particularly upon the
emancipation and Independence of the
slaves. When the states we're consti.
tuted the opinion that slavery was
wrong had but few followers, 80 the
constitution was adopted as a COM
promise. Whittier in writing on this
subject seems to have followed logi-
cal plan. 1t WAS his poems which first
taught the American people that the
negro was a man and not chattel; he
also pictured the horrors OF the slave
trade and created sentiment against
it; he severely dealt with the statesmen
of the time and in "Ichabod" held up
for public contempt Daniel Webster,
because of his favorlng the repeal OF
Missouri compromise.
Whittier reached the heart and sym
pathies OF the American people through
school children who carried his poems
into thousands Of homes, and he saw
what few men live to see-their ideas
realized.
