Held in Moodus, Addressed by W. II. Spear
of New Haven.

Moodus, June 5.-The grandest open
air gospel temperance meeting ever
held in this town, and probably in the
county, was held here Sunday after
noon on Fowler's trotting park, the
speaker being Temperance Apostle w.
H. Spear Of your city, who has been
laboring so successfully in this part
of the state. This was the inauguration
of series of open air gospel meetings
it is intended to hold in two weeks dur
ing the early summer at this place.
f. II. Fowler having generously donat-
ed the use Of the park for this purpose
yesterday people came in from miles
around, and the race track resembled
a county fair grounds with horses
hitched here and there and bicycles
stacked in long lines by the fences. The
large grand stand was well filled, and q
large chorus choir down in front led
the singing with a spirit and vigor that
carried enthusiasm with it.
Mr.. Spear spoke from the judges
stand. He said he had spoken from
many queer rostrums. in all kinds Of
churches, halls and opera houses, in
hops and fouadari IS and even from the
top of a, pool table in a saloon in his
gospel labors, but this was the first
time he had ever spoken from a judges
stand on a race track, and he believed
this was the first time in the history
Of the temperance movement in this
state at least where a trotting park
had been turned into use for a gospel
temperance auditorium.
He made a ringing address, full of
earnestness and fire, and at its close
tables were placed on the truck opposite
the grand stand and prayer singing
went on while the choir sang the live
gospel hymns and many donned the
blue ribbon.
Mr.. Spear preached in the Methodist
church Sunday morning from the text
Eye must be born again." and in the
evening he led a grand temperance raj
ly at the Methodist church, closing one
Of the most memorable days of gospel
temperance work that Moodus has ever
witnessed by the people here with glad
ness and profit.

degrees in the shade and deferred many
from coming, Mr.. Spear held his au-
dience from start to finish with the
closest attention, his powerful voice
reaching every part of the grand stand
from the judges stand, fully fifty feet
distant At the close of the meeting
the people seemed loath to leave, and
a general song service was held in which
all Joined while Evangelist Spear sue
oessfully urged a continuation of pledge
signing,
Two weeks from last Sunday Johnson,
the great religious revivalist, is to speak
at the park, and from time to time
other men of prominence on the plat
form and used to handling popular au-
diences will be heard in the work Mr..
Spear Sunday so successfully inaugu-
rated here.

small house was hired for temporary
occupancy by the society's home.
But the desire was to own lot and a
permanent building. which should be
erected according to the needs; accord
ingly, in November, 1885, curio exhibit
was given, which added $1,000 more to the
treasury. In April, 1886, second festi-
val was held in the Tabernacle, corner
Fourth and Main streets, which netted
S41OO; and in April 1887, third flower
festival, held at the Pavilion, corner
Olive and Fifth streets, brought into the
treasury $1,000, total of $14, 100.
Meanwhile lot had been sec ured from
Colonel r. s. Baker, who generously de-
Quoted 600 from the bill; and upon this
lot, on Fourth street between Main and
Los Angeles streets, the society built the
present home, at cost of $13, COS. 1t was
completed February 27, 1887, has been
used ever since for the purpose for which
it was built, and today is not only self
supporting, but the amount for taxes for
the coming year is in the bank; and the
insurance on house and furniture is paid
up to April, 1896.
Such, in brief, is the origin and history
of the woman's home to the present time !;
it is non sectarian, yet a Christian home,
to which all working girls are welcome;
that is, the rules of admission make it
necessary that they be dependent on their
own exertions for support, and either self
supporting or preparing to be so.
The members are supposed to be under
35 years of age, and the average number
in the winter is As. There are dressmak-
ers, seamstresses, milliners, clerks, ap-
prentices to various trades and normal
school and other pupils. In the three lat
ter cases, or if the girls are strangers, one
months board is allowed as loan, which
is generally paid back sooner or later, and
always voluntarily-for the payment of
any loan is never pressed.
The home is not in any way OF the ma
ture of an intelligence office, yet many of
the girls are assisted in finding places in
which they may follow their various voca-
tions; and all who have been especially
helped, as in cases of illness, in a finan-
cial way, have invariably returned the
amount advanced.
The home is governed by rules and reg
ulations that are moderate and always
well observed; a matron is in charge who
under direction of the board,
and who is glad to show visitors about the
house at any time. She has reason to be
proud of it, as have the officers of the So
ciety, for the rooms are all large, airy,
furnished and scrupulously
clean.
The sanitary condition is carefully
looked after each week by committee
from the board. A furnance has been
put in during the past year which keeps

whenever they are not otherwise occupied
with their business, cutting and fitting,
helping one another in various ways in
concocting the gowns that must be made
now and then by all.
The annual meeting of the society is
held each June, and board meeting on
the first Tuesday in each month; house
hold committee, made up OF members OF
the board, meet at the Home every Mon
day morning for the purpose of inspecting
and looking after the supplies, and vari-
Gus other committees, as that on health,
on rules and regulations, on library and
entertain ment, on education, have charge
of the various interests which all tend to-
ward the perfection of its management; {;
and inspectors from the board are free to
come and go at any time to see that all
goes well.
AS may be seen from the foregoing, it
is not surpr sing that, morally and
financially, the Woman's Home is credit
to the city and to the society which gov
erns it; it is carefully and Systematically
managed, and nothing speaks more high
ly for it than the fact that the girls, who
are as intelligent as may be found in any
seminary or college anywhere, feel that 1t
is home in every sense of the word.
Perfect harmony seems to prevail
throughout the house, and it is in verify
home of which they have only loving
and kind remembrances when they are
away, and to which they are always glad
to be able to return.

prices should be adapted to each individ-
ual case, and by which, while it was re-
moved from the basis of a charity that
impairs the self-respect of those endeav-
oring to maintain an honest independence,
would also, temporarily, relieve those
without work or money.
Therefore an organization was effected,
called the Flower Festival Society, the
object being to give the comfort and pro-
lection of home life, at reasonable rate,
to working women; and to help such
women to help themselves. To procure
funds for such an undertaking a rose festi-
val was held at the old Nadeau Hall in

with dire want and distress, but that first
case was relieved with one order for pro-
visions; and, except in a few cases of
severe illness, week or so of assistance
as to rent and provisions, and little help
toward getting work, has been all that
was required of the league.
In almost every case some one in the
family could work, and is willing to work,
if only work was to be had The league
has furnished lumber to repair large
number of roofs to keep out rain during
the winter; has furnished provisions for
families who were actually starving be-
cause they could get no work; and medi-
cine in cases OF illness; a doctor in few
of the serious cases; and in one case where

dences here, or hotels either, for the mat
ter of that.
There is large parlor on the right of
the main hall on the first floor, that has
five or six sunny windows, and besides
the necessary furniture, a piano, and
library that is constantly being enlarged;

washing and ironing, and was found to
be suffering from a complication of dis
eases, provisions, medicines and nurse
were provided until she died.
One of the most interesting cases they
have had is that OF an energetic, respect
ed business man, who, five years ago,
while engaged in his vocation, was in
jured by a fall which resulted in paralysis
OF the lower limbs. For three years he
was on his back, unable to move. At the
end of that time he had recovered enough
to try his work again, but he overdid and
brought on another attack. Since then
he has lived in a plaster cast; the amount
he had saved of his earnings had dwin-
died to almost nothing; his wife and three
children were in want, as well as himself,
and he wheeled himself about in a chair
and sold salve of his own make on the
streets to pay his rent. But that was all
he could accomplish. The league assisted
the family one month, and at a very small
expense helped him to start little fruit
stand, where he has with indomitable will
succeeded in making living for himself
and family.
Another case was that of paralytic
who had recovered enough to leave the
hospital, but knew no way to earn a liv-
ing, and it seemed that the county farm
was inevitable. The league heard of the
case, and having at the time another case,
that of deformed man who was at the
time sick in bed and who had a sister
also deformed, but who was willing to
work and knew how to make candy,
brought the three together with the re-
suit that the sister made candy with a
start OF 80 worth of sugar sent by the
league, and the paralytic sold it.
There are few people who pass Coul-
ter's corner, at Second and Spring
streets, who have not noticed the man
who sits there with tray of candy in
front of him and the words 'boss candy"
on band around his cap, but they do
not know that it was the Assistance
League that discovered the way to help
three helpless people to help themselves
by little timely assistance.
And so it goes; these women who are
considered thoughtless and to be leading
butterfly existence because they are in
demand at all social functions, have at
the same time deep and underlying pur-
pose in life by which they aid the sick and
unfortunate, and do it Systematically and
intelligently. The league has only three
officers, but the work goes on as untiring
ly and successfully as if there were a
dozen.
The president is Mrs. Frederick T.
Griffith; the secretary, Miss Anna Cash.
and the treasurer, Miss Carrie Van DYKE.

careful Investigation had revealed the
difficulties of and dangers to young girls
who, compelled to earn their own living,
were removed from the safeguards of their
homes.
The disproportion between the income
and the absolutely necessary expenditures
OF young women employed as seam
stresses, clerks, etc, suggested the estab-
lishment OF boarding house, under such
supervision as should secure to the occu-
pants the comforts and protection of a
home, in which an adjustable scale of

THE NEW WOMAN AT HOME
Scraps of Soap

Scraps of soap should never be wasted.
When they have become small they should
be carefully collected and put away. If
fannes are to be washed the scraps
should be taken out, cut in small pieces
and boiled to a Jelly. This diluted with
warm rainwater makes beautiful lather
for washing woolen goods which are
spoiled if soap is rubbed on the fabric
Small pieces of toilet soap should be melt
ed up again, with small quantity of
milk, then formed into cakes and stood
aside to dry till ready for use.
