1t is probable that owing to her South

The Anacostia W. c. I. U. will hold a
pubic meeting III the First aptist Church
of that place ON the evening of Friday

will be presented and the public is cor
daily invited. The local temperance So
cieties of Anaco will participate.
The London Chronicle, recently in pub
fishing an article from Dr. Nansen, CIV
ing his arctic adventures, commented thus:
Il does seem remarkable that two men
exposed TO the extreme cold which they
experienced during the winter of S95'S6
should, when they were providentially
found by Mr.. jackson, be in the best OF
health That they encountered many dis
comforts goes without saying, and it Is
marvellous that they came through With
their lives, let alone in perfect health. as
they evidently We're when Mr.. jackson
fell in with them"
The british Temperance Record finds
nothing remarkable i'll This. DR. Nansen
positively declined to take out spirits, be-
cause he knew that the warming or heat
giving power OF alcohol Is a deception,
Iur IL diminishes the carbonic acid cxhaled
and lowers the temperature OF the body,
and that the sensation OF warmth felt ON
the ingestiun of alcoholics is merely the
effect of diminished sensibility OF the ner-
vouS system by its narcotic and Sedatiye
effects, and therefore he determined If
he reached the North Pole at all be would
do SO on abstinence principles; and the re-
suit is that he is at home safe and sound,
having made large contribution to the
| scientific discoveries OF the age.

says; The aim of the department of marco

| narcotics upon the body and the brain, with
| view to the determination Of the habit Of
| using, and OF the traffic in the same. Also
| to secure laws governing the sale of mar
Cotics.'

| As a result of the work have to report as

1.-The work yet to be done is very great
and not as easy as might be thought. The
| dlscouraEements are not few, and one OF

the terrible effects of nicotine, We are
met with the reply: Well, Mr.. -, who

so far have found no effective means

with Gods help, can, but long for the
| day when real encouragement and help
will come from the brothers and fathers,
who themselves will have clean hands, pure

being the ones who lead our boys through
the first steps, to the curse of our nation
intemperance.
''Question-I desire to ask If dealers
are violating the law with respect to the
| sale OF tobacco to minors?
| "Answer-I believe many dealers give
no attention whatever to the law in this
respect, as 1 often see boys under ten
years of age smoking cigarettes. The
fathers are frequently to blame for this,
as they often send their boys to the stores
for tobacco, and pipes, etc., and the dealer
gives them to the boys, not knowing or
caring whether it is for the parent or
the boy.''

and about 20 100000 are poor. A writer
in The Good Templars, Watchword argues
well that these conditions are due to re-
movable causes, the chief of which is

PRESENT METHOD BEST.
Law Students Debate the
Election of Senators.

The question Of the election OF United
states Senators by a direct vote of the
people Were Interestingly discussed Satur-
day evening before the debating society
of the law department OF the Columbian
University.
bsters, Judging from the spirit and earnest
ness with which they spoke We're deeply
Interested. There is, however, a great
diversity OF opinion among the law stu
dents on this question, and as a consc-
piencc the oratory and argument on tl.e
SUBJECT was pretty fairly divided.
The affirmation was maintained by
Messrs. l.. Brooks, G- W. LieualIen and
Arthur Garnet, who were opposed ty
Messrs. George II Calvert, II, b. K
Stewart and II. f. Ellis. Mr.. J. ". Scran-
age, president Of the society, was in
the chair.
For The affirmative it was claimed that
the duties of Senators and Congressman
were 50 much alike that they shorld lie
chosen in the same manner. The corrupt
ibllity of State legislators was also al
legged to be a good cause for the proposed
change in the method Of election, To say
nothing OF the expense To the several States
when deadlocks occurred IN Senatorial
contests.
The chief argument on which the af-
firinative seemed willing to rest its case
Was THAI uilltT tHe pIt>eHl system. u
Senator once chosen. was responsible to
neither his people nor the legislature winch
elected him for his course Of action
Those who opposed the election by popu-
lar vote, argued that the necessity for
the different modes OF election Of Senators
and Representatives. was plainly shown
by the intentions of the powers OF the
Const itu tion, VIII Ose evident intention
it was TO have the two bodies different
even to the methods Of the selection of the
members. A gain it was claimed that there
could be no reason whatever for having
two separate bodies elected in the same
manner.
During the debate, Mr.. Brooks. who is
Georgian, referred to the present con-
dition OF affairs in his State brought about
by the death of Hon. Charles +. Crisp.
When the discussion was opened for

New York, Nov. 15--AmeTica' s greatest
horse show closed last night after most
successful week. The total attendance
has been close to 10000.
Suciety has been on hand as usual and
has made more or less social function
of the affair. but the mass Of visitors
have been true lovers OF the horse, in his
many varied types, shown here as never
before on this side of the Atlantic. The
management has the satisfaction of know
ing that the arrangements have been
So perfect for handling the crowds Of
people and for caring for the horses, that
no accident to man OF beast has marred
the occasion.
Horsemen and hOrsewumen, from other
cities as well as from this locality, have
nothing but praise for the show, and its
exhibits. The judging has been most fair.
In no class has favOritism been shown, and
those who have failed to win first prizes
admit their defeat.
Yesterday the greatest crowd Of the week
was present. Thepaid admissionsnumbered
1915. This afternoon 6,150 people were
present. Tonight when the greatest crow d
