Many OF the members OF the w. {. T.
e. have long felt that we needed o 10y
al Legion here, but. q leader could not
be found who was willing to undertake
the difficult and responsible work OF
carrying % the Legion. A sister organ
izat,on has, however, just started a work
for the children that has the very same
object IN view as does the Loyal Legion,
namely, training the children to lives Of
purity, sobr ETY., aud usefulness, the
pledge that is repaired for membership
in the Jhven;,e Temple being just the
Same as that OF the Loyal Legion, aud
all members Of the w. G. Il. U. will wish
tho Temple Il hearty G~odspeed.
The Temple meets at 4 O'Clock Thurs
day afternoons in the basement OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church. Parents whose
children are members are invited to the
meetings and will be admitted without
the password or signing the pledge, but
other visitors must take the Temple
| pledge, which prohibits the Use Of TO-
pacco and gambling, as we'll as intoxi-
cants and wicked words. Miss Alice
JeLks Is superintendent Of the Temple,
and the names of those who wish to join
should be handed to her.

cents a mile. Mr. Carlisle In advocating the mo-
tlon stated that the bill had been recommitted TO
the Railroad Committee on motion OF Mr. Hustled.
There was no desire for a hearing upon the meas
ure and II ought TO come before the House. The
motion TO recommit made by Mr.. Hustled last Mon

cecding
Mr. Hustled denied that he represented the rail-
roads and asserted that the bill had not been suff-
ciently heard.
The motion to discharge was opposed by Mr..
Nixon and lost by n vote OF 81 nays. 80 yeas

made by Mr.. Sprir gweiler. OF Erie. lie moved to

John Harsen Rhoades said that the first ques-

Mayor should consider whether or not confolida-
ton would increase or decrease the value OF the
city's bonds. Mr. Rhoades said that the ques-
ton had not been answered.
Alfred r. Conkng said that the people
showed an apathy on the question or consohda-
tion and that the Mayor himself received
larger vote by one-third than was cast FOR the
Greater NewYork plan.
