on the first day Of the meeting Of the
national convention OF the prohibitionists
at Pittsburg it developed that they are di-
vided into two factions. one is called the
broad gauge and the other the marrow
gauge" faction. The former believes in
free silver coinage, woman suffrage and
prohibition and the latter thinks the pro-
hibirion party should have but one issue.
namely. prohibition. 1t is evident that the
latter faction has the greater amount Of
wisdom just as soon as the prohibition
party undertakes to solve the tariff and
money questions it will go to pieces. It
might as well go to pieces perhaps as it is
not likely to accomplish anything Of con-
sequence. The time has not come yet, and
the probabilities are it Will never come,
when a prohibition party viii be strong
enough to elect a president and a con-
gress. AS matter of fact, the prohibit
ton party is not much, if any, stronger
now than it was a dozen years ago. The
great MASS of the people desire to be free
to do as they please in respect to the Ii
quor traffic. They hold that temperance
should be a matter of education-that peo-
pie should be taught the evils Of the i'm
moderate use Of intoxicants, and should be
persuaded to leave them alone. That sort
Of temperance is genuine Compulsory
temperance is productive of great evils
Indeed, in states which have prohibitory
laws drunkenness is about as common as
in states in which the liquor traffic is IL
censed.
However, the prohibition party is not to
be condemned. 1t is a refuge for those
who would not be happy if they were not
trying to compel others to accept their
views relative to the liquor traffic They
believe they are doing a great and good
work and the satisfaction this belief af-
fords them is a sufficient compensation for
all the trouble which their party costs
them

Jennv LIND Sang for Him.

who died within the past week at his home

telling this anecdote of his youth, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1T was about the
beginning Of the war" he invariably be-
gan. Il was then a clerk in a large music
publishing house on Chestnut street. One
day a well-dressed, quiet little woman en-
tered the store and asked me to show her
some music of a classical nature We
struck up quite a conversation, in the
course of which 1 asked her h she had
heard the great Jenny Lind, who was then
the talk of the town. She laughed, and
said: "Oh, yes. I have heard her. Have
your I told her that I hadn't had that
pleasure and that 1 had very little pros
pect. of hearing her, the price of admis-
s,on''was so high. She laughed again, and
then she handed me song she had picked
out, and asked me TO play the accompani-
ment for her while she tried it, She sang so
beautifully that l played like one in a
dream. When she had finished she thank
ed me, and, with rare smile, she said:
You cannot say now that you have never
heard Jenny Lindn She thanked me again
and left me dumfounded."
