PURITY AND MORALS.

Meeting of the Congress for rbe,r A
 vancement-One Moral Standa rsf for Roth
 Sexes-The Objects of the Society Are m.
 Suppression of Vice, the Protection of tbs
 Young snd the Resue of the Fallen
 BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. I5.-With the exception of an international gather. ing in Chicago while the Worlds fa;, was in progress, the first national as. sembly in America for the discussion of purity and moral questions opened here last night. Some of the men and women who are to take part in tbe congress have now regulations. Mir Aaron Marcy Powell, who has been a reformer all his life, called the meet. ing to order. Between 200 and BOO delegates gathered in the Friend meeting house on Park avenue las, night to take part in the congress. which will continue to-day and to- morrow. All social purity organiza- tions, White Cross leagues, Woman,s Christian Temperance union, Youno Mems Christian association, Epwortb h league. Christian Endeavor societies and other bodies and organizations were represented.
 The congress includes many of the same women who will attend the na- tional convention of the w. c. T. U. which will begin Friday. T. Gerry and T. Roosevelt are expected to ap- pear to-day. After devotional exer. cises the congress was formally opened by President Prof. Aaron Marcy Powell.
 During the course of his remarks MT. Powell gave the objects of the so- ciety as being the repression of vice: the prevention of its regulation by the state; the better protection of the young; the rescue of the fallen. and to proclaim the law of purity as equally binding upon men and women
 The speaker particularizcd the eff forts made in American cities. and notably in Omaha, Cleveland and St. Louis, where fines were collected from houses of evil repute to be appropri- ated to the support of schools. as though any use of such fund. not withstanding it might prove to be of a oppressive and restrictive character. could justify those municipalities in entering into a co-partnership with vice and crime. Fortunately. for their good names, those efforts have been judicially abandoned.
 He declared further that this society had urgent need to pronounce itself on the subject of the so.called age-ot- consent laws Girls are deemed capa- ble of controlling property only at their majority, but states decide not so with their persons. In four states the age of consent is fixed at the shock ingly low age of ten years
 He praised the White Cross move ment, which is especially for men, and whose motto was Keep Thyself Pure" and hoped that the outcome of this congress would be an emphasis upon the necessity for one moral stan dard for both sexes.

SMUGGLING SCANDALS,
Astonishing Revelations Made by the Cor
 fessions of Prisoners.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 15.-Astonish. ing revelations were made in the smuggling scandals yesterday. Four of the prisoners who were brought from Placentia bay turned queens evidence and revealed all the secrets of the syndicate which practically controlled all the smuggling into this port of liquor and tobacco for the past four years. The scandal is cer- tain to be among the greatest ever ex- posed here and will implicate many prominent officials and nearly every saloonkeeper in the city. The ramif- cations of the gang are most extensive and the work was pursued with sur- prisiug audacity.
 The opposition press maintains that the financial condition of the colony is alarming, and aduces statistical and other proofs to show that the govern ment's assertions to the contrary are unreliable.
