STRONG Address.
Rev.R.M. Ryan's Appeal For
Total Abstinence.
Results From Moral and Physical
StandpOints VividIy Presented.
Lecture Was Given Under the Auspices Of st.
Mary's T. A. and D. Society Last Evening.

A large audience was present last even
ing at st. Mary's Temperance Hall to enjoy
the entertainment given by the st. Mary's
Total Abstinence and Benevolent Society
and the Ladies' Auxiliary. The musical
and literary program was well rendered
and the addresses were listened to with
close attention.
The speaker of the evening was Rev. X
NJ. Ryan of Brooklyn, who delivered
lengthy but interesting address on the
subject OF temperance and the various
phases connected with the question.
Father Ryan is possessed of pleasant de-
livery and thoroughly conversant with his
subject, and the way in which he handled
it indicated study and research.
The speaker was introduced by James j.
McAioon, who expressed his pleasure in
introducing guest who had come so far
to aid in the cause of temperance.
Father Ryan's remarks were In substance
as follows: "For many years it has been
my duty to address audiences on this sub
ject and other matters, and after time one
uses the argumentative rather than the
higher standpoint, and in speaking to
you tonight / shall probably fall into it.
In speaking on subject so vast and varied
and so full of fruitfulness speaker is in
clined to dwell on the chivalrous or excit-
ing side of the question. But believe far
more good can be accomplished in placing
the matter before you SO that it will be re-
tanned. 1t would be easy to stir up your
excitement, but / desire to reach your
minds from an argumentative standpoint.
1t suffices that portion of the truth be
known.
GAS / notice the large number of ladies
present am inclined to dwell on temper
ance rather than intemperance.

virtues, 1t is a homtly virtue. 1t is a car
dinal virtue because others hinge upon
it. The other cardinal virtues are pru-
dence, justice and fortitude. Temperance
applies to every act in ones life, and
Christian cannot claim to be Christian
unless he or she be temperate in all things.
'sThe matter of drink is associated, how
ever, more closely with intemperance. 1t
is the great evil of the work. 1t Is easy to

ALDERMEN MEET.
Canvassing Of the Voting
Lists Begun Today.
Police Report Relative to Licensed
Liquor Dealers Presented.
The Recommendation Pertaining to Enforcing
the Law Was Adopted Other Business.

An adjourned meeting of the Board OF
Aldermen, for the purpose of canvassing
the voting list, was begun at 8 o'clock this
morning. Mayor Davis presided, and the
entire board, with the exception of Alder
man Edward O'Brien, were present.
The following communication was read
from His Honor the Mayor:
GENTLEMES-Herewitb i transmit the re
port from the Chief of Police, and respect
fully ask that 1t be read, and communicated
to the Board of License Commissioners,
with the request that they see to IL that the
law be complied with in regard to violations
therein noted, or that the licensees be prose
cuted, and their licenses revoked.
JOHN w. DAVIS, Mayor.
The accompanying report of the Chief Of
of Police is very complete, and shows that
the total licensed places i'm the city are 118.
OF this number III were visited by officers
of the force, and one was found to be
closed. OF the total number 46 were found
to be conducted with some violation OF the
law. IL the names of the proprietors were
published it would doubtless create con-
siderable surprise, for there is scarcely a
well known resort in the city that does not
violate the law regarding entrances or
some other cause.
The violations are for the following
causes: Back doors found open, 10; side
doors found open, Is; saloons connecting
with tenements, 8; saloons with cellar
connections, 1; changes in proprietors, not
noted on licenses, 5; saloons connecting
with stores, q; with entrance through hall
ways, 1; found closed, /. The entrance to
all the other II are all through publicly
travelled ways.
The communication was received, the
recommendation endorsed and referred to
the License Commissioners.
The petition of the Swan Point Ceme-
terry Association for permission to estab-
lish grade on proposed street to run
from Pleasant street to the city line was
referred to the Committee ON Streets and
Bridges.
Upon the recommendation of Jason f..
Lawrence, appraiser of damage done by
dogs" Henry l.. Stafford of 393 Old Boston
road was allowed $40 for fowls killed.
A license was granted the Young Ire
lapders' Volunteers to hold fair in the
Smith building on various dates between
April "a and May %.
A lunch cart license was granted to
George A. Mitchell.
The application of Nelson Grenier for
abatement on $50 personal property tax
assessed was referred to the board of abate-
ment.
The application of Martin Phelan of AZ
Lawn avenue for permission to remove
night soil was granted.
Mayor Davis resigned the chair to Alder
man Thayer, and the Board convened as
board of canvassers, and will probably
not complete the business before them be-
fore tomorrow night.

The VARIETY OF CRIME.
THE EVIDENCE OF WAH SING NOT
SUFFICIENT TO CONVICT.
Bernard McQueeny Will Not Disturb His
Wife's Wash for Some Time-Other Cases.

There was more business to be done in
the District Court this morning than there
has been before this year, and several cases
Of interest were disposed Of by Judge
Shove.
The first case brought to the attention OF
His Honor was that of William O'Neil and
Owen +. MCGEE. These are the two men
laundry of Wah Sing on East avenue on
Saturday night, and in true western style
held the Chinaman up and relieved him Of
all the cash in sight.
The evidence in the case was heard, the
defendants admitting all charges auainst
them except robbery. The only evidence
on this point was offerrd by the laundry
man.
The story of the two men was to the
effect that they had gone in the laundry
under the influence of liquor to inquire of
Wah regarding the whereabouts Of some
girl with whom they had "date." Dur
ing the argument that followed they had
punched Sings head and ran out.
They offered the testimony of several
witnesses, among them barkeeper, whom
they tried to "hang-up" for drink short
ly after the alledged robbery was supposed
to have occurred. These witnesses all tes-
titled that the pair were "broke."
As there was no evidence beside that of
Wah on the robbery part Of the question,
the complaint was changed to one of sim
pie assault. On this charge they were
given 30 days each in the Providence
county Jail.

The Wholesale section of New York,
says a special telegram, was overrun

| at an early hour this morning. Nearly
all spoke in glowing terms of the bust

ner in which they placed orders with
the wholesale houses showed that they
we're sincere when they said they look
ed for period of almost unprecedent-

The Texas merchants have been
coming in daily for soma weeks and it
is stated that there are now more Tex
as merchants in New York than visited
here all last season. Texas has been a
heavy buyer in the dry goods district
for many weeks, owing to the repe ated
cuts in freight rates.
The Nero aants' association OF New
York, to whose efforts is due largely
the presence of so many buyers, is com
posed to date of 500 resident mem bers,
comprising the principal Wholesale
houses, and over 21,OOO nonresident

Until today some OF the principal lines
in the Southwestern Traffic association,
notably the Southern Pacific refused to
grant the excursion rates asked for but
notice was received by wire today that
reduced rates would be granted by all
lines from Aug. II to Aug. 81, inclusive.
This concession will enable merchants
and members of their families from
any part of Texas to take advantage OF
leading markets of the north and east.
The Merchants association of New
York was organized obout two months
