PROHIBITION A FAILURE.
So Declares Rev. s, F. Pearson at Old
Orchard.
A Washingtonfan Temperance Meeting at
the Camp Grounds-More Than a
Thousand Take the Pledge
ESPECIAL TO THE F rnEss.J

ESPECIAL TO THE ERESS.I
Old Orchard, July 11.-"My physician
ordered me not to speak today, but l talked
the matter over with a Greater Physic-
ian. and as result, 1 am going to ad-
dress you. Thus spoke Rev. Samuel
+. Pearson of the Portland Gospel Mis-
sion, at this mornings temperance mass
meeting, held at the Camp Ground, un-
der the Washingtonian Society, of which
hesis vice president. He explained that
he has an attack of Bright's disease, and
@ gloomy picture has been painted for
him by those who have diagnosed his
case, but he declared his intention to fill
with activity and practical gospel tenn
perance work 1whatever period of life is
allotted to him.
he spoke three quarters of an hour in
the morning, and about half an hour in
the afternoon. On the platform with
him sat Capt. George IT. Blake of Port
land, Rev. S. W. Bradlee of Biddeford,
Rev. Charles Munger, Rev. Mr.. Wood
bury and Rev. Mr.. .Strout of Old Orchard,
Rev. 7. P. Adams and Rev. Fred W.
Adams of Brooklyn, all of whom took
some part in the meetings of the day.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Pear
son spoke discouragingly of the Maine
prohibitory law. He had lost hope in it's
efficacy, because of the general apathy
in its enforcement. He declared that
in Portland there are 800 open liquor
saloons running, with no attempt to dis
guise them. He predicted that, unless
there is an immediate change for the bet
ter, this state will, within the next de-
cade, follow the example of Iowa, and its
distilleries will be reopened.
He urged rallying of temperance peo-
pie, reestablishing of the old reform
movement, and a revival of practical
temperance work.
He believed in practice of Christian
profession. 81 shate the kind of Chris
tianity," said he, 'sthat is displayed by
people who are all the time longing for
heaven. l am more concerned just now,
about the State of Maine than about
paradise. am thinking more Of live men
than of departed spirits" He advocated
a continuous use of the temperance pledge
in this kind of work.
More than 1000 signatures to the pledge
of total abstinence were secured during
the progress of the meetings.

Years Ago-Pittsburg Miners Elated
Over Their Success.
Pittsburg, July 11.-Today marks the
beginning of the second week Of the coal
m nels strike and already it gives promise
of being one of the greatest wage strug-
giles in the history of this country.
The success that attended the move.
ment has greatly elated the miners, and
during the next few days every effort viii
be made to bring out the men In the
few mines that are still working. This
will be q difficult task, but they express
confidence In their ability to make the
suspension complete before the week is
48 hours old.
From the best information obtainable
the Pittsburg operators are in no hurry
to have the difficulty adjusted, so many
of them had stocks on railroad sidings
| which they held for.An advance. Much
of this was disposed. of Saturday at
good profit. just now the greatest obsta-
Gle in the way of success Of the miners is
the activity Of the diggers in the West
Virginia fields. They are working night
| and day and are getting ready to supply
all ssthe coal that is needed. They are
| repeating what they did three years ago
when a general suspension was declared.
AT that time there were number of
operators in the mountain state that
were on the verge Of bankruptcy. The
general suspension was declared and there
came great demand for coal at prices
that insured big profits. The operators
rallied around them large number Of
men, whose friendshipsand support they
have encouraged ever since. The opera
tors profited by thousands and thousands
of dollars. When the season had finished
| and the strike was declared failure, they
balanced their books and found things
on the proper side of their ledgers. They
realized that they owed much of their
profit to their miners, and they reward
ed them for it, On every succeeding pay
day the faithful miners were paid
bonuses in the shape of gold pieces and
naturally the best Of feeling prevails
among the employers and employees.
q The miners officials say that the suc.
cess of the movement depends on the act
ion of the West Virginia miners. There
are a number of operators in the Pitts
burg district who have expressed will
| ingness to pay the price demanded, but
the miners said nay They will insist
that majority of the operators in the
district pay the SO cent rate or none.

MRS. Mack RELIGIOUS.
Alleged Mnr deress Attends Church
All Day Sunday.
THORN ON OTHER HAND TURNED
DEAF EAR TO PREACHERS.

First Sunday of Alleged SIayers of
GuIdensuppe in the Tomhs-search for
the Missing Head Continues Without
Results.
New York, July 11.-This is the first
Sunday that Mrs. Augusta Mack and
Martin Thorn, the alleged slayers of Will
liam Guldensuppe, have passed in the
gloomy Toombs prison. The woman,
who it is claimed, lured Guldensuppe
to his death in the lonely cottage at Wood
side, L. l., seems to be devout religious
individual. Although not a Catholic,
in the forenoon she attended mass in the
city Jail and did not vince in the least
when Father Smith took as his text,
'tThou shalt do no murder"
Later on she attended the Presbyterian
service. At the afternoon song service
Mrs Mack sang hymns from Moody
and Sankey hymnal and when given a
copy of the "War Cry" the prisoner used
it as fan in the effort to keep ccool.
On the other hand Martin Thorn
turned a deaf ear to all the preachers.
He remained in his cell and spent the
day reading the Sunday newspapers. He
seems to take great delight in reading
the various accounts printed about the
unravelling of the great murder mystery
and the proceedings in the courts and be-
fore the grand jury.
Chief O'Brien says that there are no
new developments in regard to the kill
ing of Guldensuppe. Thus far he has
been unable to locate. the murdered mans
watch Thorn is said to have pawned.
The search of the East river for Gulden-
suppe's head, was continued today, but
the grapplers failed to locate it. Besides
the dragging and graphing diver will
be engaged in the hunt at the bottom Of
the East river tomorrow.
The Guldensuppe Case.
| New York, July 10.-Coroner Tuthill
said tonight that now that an indictment
for murder had been found against Mrs.
Mack and Thorn it relieved the coroner S
office of the necessity of producing evil
dence for an Indictment. He said how
ever, that an inquest would be held on
the body of Guldensuppe for scientific
purposes. This inquest. he said would
take place as soon as the expert chemist
made his report on those parts of the body
and the other evidence he had in his
charge. He would finish that examination
in about week from Thursday when the
inquest would be held

families and not knowing where the next

to be sent to the east Tennessee district
in the hope that aid may be obtained
there. The men at these mines have had
little work for nearly two years and as a
consequence they have nothing laid up.
