FOR POOR CHILDREN.

The following letter will be sent out

For Sweet Charity's Sake.

Augusta, Me-, Dec. Is, 1894.
Dear Friend: The Non Partisan
Young Women's Christian Temperance
Union of this city ask a little assistance
from you in good cause.
This organization on the eve of Christ
mas day will have Christmas tree with
presents and a dinner at 6. A. r. hall for
the poor children of Augusta, who but
for this effort would have neither the
presents nor the happiness that this char
ity will bring them. With the many
calls which are made on you we dislike
to canvass for aid but having no money
we appeal to you in the name of common
humanity to assist in letting some sun
shine into the lives of these little children
on the day which reminds us so strongly
of our common Christianity.
Remember how little these children
have of the good things of this lie ana
how much a trifling present and the ac-
companying pleasure will mean to them.
The money which you will give Will not
be missed by you but it will do worlo
of good in giving some poor child many
hours of happiness.
Thus thinking of the pleasures anu
gifts which we all have; how much we
enjoy, and how much we have to be thahk,
full for; let us remember the poor ana
needy; and in the name of Him VINO
said: "Inasmuch as you have done IL
unto one of the least of these my brethren
We have done it unto me, contribute
something to assist in making CHRIST
mas day this year, better and brighter
both for these little children and our
selves.
Please put any money you may wish 70
contribute, no matter how small ehe
amount, in the enclosed envelope ana de
liver by mail or in person. NO llst OF
other announcement of the givers OF TINS
charity will be made further than 10
publish the total amount received IN tne
local newspapers.
Please attend to this at once IN oruer
that the "Y's'' may know what to reiy
upon. Thanking you in advance ior
your aid we are,
Very sincerely yours,
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES.
P. S. Contributions of books, toys OF
any suitable gifts may be left at the "
A. R. hall on Monday, December 24tn.

Governor Altgeld, Of Illinois, the LOUD
mouthed and venomous demagogue who
pardoned the convicts concerned in the
Haymarket massacre, and in so doing
made an assault on the judiciary that
will never be forgotten, gained fresh
notorlety for his refusal to commute tha
death sentence passed on Painter, the
man who was recently hanged In CHI
cago for the supposed murder Of his
mistress, Alice Martin, but abt ut whose
guilt there was so much uncertainty.
The Chicago Journal says Of Altgcld'
"The governor whose hide Is too thick
to be peirced by popular opinion stub
bornly refused to save the mans lif+.
and allowed what was possibly jldi-
cial murder to be committed" Chicago
rebuked Altgeld for his course in the
Haymarket affair by re-electing the
judge he assailed. but Altgeld has had
his revenge. Painter, the man hanged
the other day, was, there is good reason
to believe, entirely innocent Of any con-
nectlon with the death of the murde. ed
woman. and there is strong reason for
belief that the real murderer is now in
the penitentiary in Texas. The evidence
against the man hanged was 50 lere -
tive that even the prose cution realized
that their case was weak, and over ten
thousand good citizens signed d petition
requesting Altgeld to commute the sen.
tence, but without avail. anl Painter,
who was neither bomh-thrower nor an
advanced thinker" died making sol,
emn assertion of his innocence.

forms creosote, whose traces, seen on
the hands Of the user, indicate the un-
seen injury to the system, and the vile
drugs with which the filling. whatever
II may be. is treated, indubitably affects
the lungs and brains of the smoker,
weakening body and mind, and too often
causing premature death or early in
sanity. Efforts have been repeatedly
made to check this growing evil, by leg
islation against selling cigarettes to
minors, under certain age, liable to
arrest when found using them; but they
do not seem to have been effective. A
recent move, however, made by the
Rescue Club, which appeals to the pride
of the boys themselves. promises to be
more successful The club, doubtless,
can feel assured of the hearty cooper
alton of the principals of the several
schools. It would also be good plan
for the Rescue Club to form leagues,
and have the members bound by pledges
and stimulated by rewards In the shape
Of badges Of honor or something of the
kind. The management of such an or
ganization could be left largely in the
hands Of the boys themselves. thus
stimulating their self-reliance, and en-
listing their interest in their own welfare
and that Of their companions. That cigar
cites are more harmful than cigars is
generally conceded, yet many who would
look with horror at the spectacle Of a
boy with big cigar in his mouth re-
gard the cigarette as innocuous. II a
boy can avoid acquiring the cigarette
habit until he Is 2l, he will probably
escape 1t altogether, for by that time he
will be able to discriminate, and to no.
tlce the offensiveness of the habit The
| fewer young cigarette smokers we have
the more able-bodied and clear-minded
citizens we will have later on.

TIDE TABLE.
the Week, Beginning

Today will be offered to those who
have so far failed to respond to the call
of the subsidy committee, the last
chance of showing their possession of
business sense and public spirit. A list
of those who have given, and those who
have refused, will be prepared in few
days for publication, when the public
will learn definitely how every prop
erty owner has responded. If the COM
mittee had been engaged in asking for
contributions for some charitable work,
their labors could not. In some drec-
tlons, have been more difficult, And yet
some property owners hold back. The
reason for this can be explained but In
one way. Nearly every owner of realty
in town remembers what glowing posi-.
bilities were suggested by the compara-
lively slight stir In real estate during
the Reid railroad excitement. outside
capital came pouring in, when 1t APP
peared that Astoria was marching rap.
Idly in the straight road to her proper
position among the seaport cities OF the
Pacific Coast. The same experience can
be again enjoyed, with this difference:
II the present efforts are successful, the
fondest dreams OF Astorlans will be
more than realized, and in place OF a
little town depending almost entirely for
support upon an uncertain industry, a
great city will spring up and flourish
for all time, These facts are admitted
by every property owner in Astoria.
and It is therefore natural to assume
that the real reason actuatIng those
who are hanging back is the Indulgence
or hope that their more progressive
neighbors win give sufficient to buy the
railroad. Let us hopc that such may
not prove to be the case. Meanwhile.
the eyes of the community are on these
who are still backward. Let them en-
roll themselves in the ranks Of progress
sion. or indenbly stamp themselves as
stumbling-blocks ia the path OF the
clty's welfare.
