Made a Mistake.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: With your kind permission l will
use space enough in your valuable paper
to contradict an article which appeared
in last Sundays issue OF the Elmira Tele-
gram. The article referred to a riotous
time said to have taken place on the last
Taylor car. For the information of those
who don't know anything about the said
riotous time l would like TO state that l
have conducted the last Taylor car for
the past eight months and no such scan
dalous affair has taken place on my car
If the West Side correspondent of the
Telegram hasn't got a watch he had bet
ter inquire the time and avert future
mistakes in that line.
Perhaps. though, he is looking for a rep
utation as a modern Ananias. If such is
the case he is making a very good begin
ming. There is still another excuse for
his making such an error. Perhaps he
had inlbibed too freely of Rendham's
favorlte beverage and did not know
whether he was on street car or wheel
barrow.
AT any rate he has made a sad mistake
and If he is gentleman he will correct 1t.
Yours respectfully
s. l.. Bunnell.

OBJECT OF MOTHERS MEETINGS.
Set Forth in n Paper Read bv Mrs.
Amelia Smith.

Mrs. ID. b. Hand had charge Of a
very interesting mothers meeting at
the regular meeting of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union yester-
day afternoon. After devotional exer-
cises, Mrs. Amelia Smith read an ar
ticle entitled "Object of Mothers Meet
ings.' 1t is to study the methods of
child training which will develop the
strongest character and give to the
child the best teaching possible to fit
it for the responsibilities of life, said
Mrs. Smith. Virtue and innocence are
not interchangeable terms. Innocence
Is the early condition of the mind of
the child before it has mingled with
the world, while virtue Is the knowl-
edge of good and evil crystalized into
the VIII to do right, The mother
should not allow the child to encounter
untaught, the evil of the world. Not
protect after they have heard one side,
but forearm and forewarn, opening
their eyes to the dangers of life's
pathway. With mothers love and
mothers prayers we can point out the
narrow way that leads to the white
heights of purity.
Mothers meetings are to encourage
mothers to help each other in the
right training of children, to enthuse
energy in the practical lines of culture,
and to make careful preparations for
this great and noble profession of
home making and child training and
character building.
A lea1et was also read on "The Sa-
credness and Responsibility of Mother
hood" by the Pennsylvania superin-
tcndent Of mothers meetings, Mrs. F.
S. Stevens. 1t showed that the child
is just what the parents make 1t, and
provoked quite discussion of the prac-
tical suggestions for the right train
ing of the child from babyhood. This
should be done chiefly by love.
Mrs. Pease told of the grand Reunion
of the Loyal Temperance LegiOns of
LockaWanna county, to be held July 10
at Laurel Hill park There is to be
games, races, refreshments and a good
speaker and it was hoped that a large
number especially of our Women's
Christian Temperance union would at
tend.

MINooKA.

William J. Burke, recently appointed
postmaster at Minooka, will assume
charge of the postoflce Thursday
morning. Mr.. Burke will succeed
Frank Kane, who served Uncle Sam
the past eleven years.
The school board will meet this af-
ternoon at No. 1 school.
The threatened shake-up Of the '9G
school board has apparently material
lied as the township auditors have re-
sorted to law in an effort to compel
the board to produce their books. Some
few weeks ago the auditors refused to
approve of the school report. This
aroused the ire of some of the directors
and this matter has been lurking in
oblivion since. Some interesting dis
closures are promised before the dis
pute terminates.
The remains of child of John Hart,
whose death was mentioned yesterday.
was inferred in Minooka Catholic cem-
etery yesterday afternoon.
