Temperance Memorial Service.

At the suggestion of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, a union
temperance service was held in the Free
Baptist church last Sunday night as a
memorial to our beloved temperance
worker and evangelist, MaryT. Lathrop,
deceased Jan. 4. The pastors Of the Con-
gregational and Methodist churches as
sisted. Rev. Mr.. Smithers gave a brief
outline of Mrs. Lathrop's life and work,
speaking warm and eloquent words OF
praise, saying she had proved conclusive
ly that there is no sex in intellect, as she
had shown herself the equal of any man,
and left IN example worthy of imitation
by all. He cried shame on any Christian
who should vote license in any form. Rev.
F. F. Lewis followed with a strong pro-
hibition address, in which he spoke of the
change in the physical nature caused by
the progress Of civilization bringing peo-
pie into closer contact, thereby increas-
ing the nervous force and making people
of fine nervous temperament more sus-
ceptible to alcoholic stimulants and
narcotics. He said that while there are
more total abstainers than formerly,
there is an increase in the amount con-
sumed, thereby bringing more certain de-
struction tothose who imbibe. Wemust
either destroy the liquor traffic or be de-
stroyed by it. Mrs. Lathrop's song,
will it Pay" was sung very sweetly by
Miss Mack, one Of the "Y's." Rev. Mr..
Vance. of the Baptist, closed the exercises
of the evening by a fine address on
woman's work, giving them praise for
their work and its results, emphasizing
the fact that women ought to have the
same privileges as men. Northumberland
ing Il severe storm the church was well
filled.
One of the notable features of the past
week was the public installation Of the
officers OF the K. p. Friday evening with
appropriate exercises and a most bount.
eous repast, in which the Knights showed
themselves equal to the occasion. The
pleasure of the evening was much en-
HANGED by having with us as guest, Rev.
Mr.. Tyre Of st. Johnsbury, who gave a
brief but interesting address on the good
points Of the order. There were about
$50 guests present.
On Wednesday evening the Masons
and the o. Z. s. held their public installa-
ton. The work OF both societies was
well done and enjoyed by the large audi
ence, who were made happy by an invita-
ton to remain to the banquet prepared
for them.

Fifty-second congress is most favorable

belief that unless unforeseen difficulties
arise, an the bills win have been pre-
sented to the president for his approval
before IL o'clock ON March 4. A diff
Guilty that has been suggested to the
successful consummation of snch a pro-
gramme is in the possible tacking ON to
one of the bills of a provision embody-
ing some financial legislation, in the
failure of action upon separate meas
ure. This action S
Might Delay the Blll

in time. All the appropriation bills
have been completed by the house COM
mittees living them in charge except
the general deficiency bill, the prepara-
tion of which is always deferred so as TO
include, if desirable, all the estimates
that may be submitted to congress by
the executive departments of the gov
ernment up to the latest date it is safe
to wait. The legislative bill, though
prepared, has not yet been formally
passed upon by the appropriation COM
mittee, but this will be done and the
measure viii be reported. The military
academy is the only one of the regular
annual appropriation bills that has re-
ceived the executives approval, but the
conference report ON the army bill has

congress and viii soon be sent to the
president. The Notifications and PEN
sion bills are In the hands of conference
committees.
Only Two ON the House Calendar.
The diplomatic bill and the District OF
Columbia bill are pending in the senate,
having been reported from the senate
committee having them in charge, while
the Indian, the postffice and the sundry
civil bills have passed the committee and
are now being considered by the senate.
But two-the agricultural and naval
are ON the house calendar. The former
will be passed without much discussion,
while the latter, on the other hand, viii
be debated thoroughly and the recon-
mendations of the committee favoring
the construction of three battleships
costing approximately "A, 100000 each,

the national treasury.
