1t Is not as we'll known among temper
ance people as 1t ought to be that Mrs.
General Grant made the first move against
intoxicating liquor at the White House, she
having secured Its banishment from the New
Year reception ofthe President. Mrs. Grant
was succeeded by Mrs. Hayes, who was an
frfuz8iUsn, and a warmsympathizer with
the woman,s crusade. A lifelong teeto-
taller, she never offered wine while at the
White House. Next came Mrs. GARFIELD,
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland, all total

Official information has reached Havana,
Cuba, Of . decisive battle between loyal
troops and insurgent forces in Matanzas.
According to this Information, the Spanish
troops were routed after a hard battle, with
heavy losses. This news caused q veritable
sensation in Havana, as 1t is generally
known that Captain-General Weyler Is now
In Matanzas, and there is a belief that the
Spanish troops directly under him were
those which suffered defeat at the hands
Of the rebels. The Spanish losses in killed
and wounded were very heavy, and
probably greater than in any of the recent
battles fought On the island between the
opposing forces.

A young correspondent, who has no per.
sonal recollection OF Father Mathew, asks
US for some facts concerning the great
temperance advocates public career. The
following account gives briefly the princi.
pal events Of his lifn as u philanthropisf
and reformer. Father Mathews heroic
work in Cork, during the cholera epidemic
of 1882, first attracted attention, and at
that time he was appointed one OF the gov.
errors OF the Cork House Of Industry. II
was there he met William Martin, another
governor, an old Quaker, locally famed as
the s'teetotal map" Of that city. 1t was
through the influence of the Quaker that
the priest undertook his temperance work.
One evening early In April, 1888, Father
Mathew sent for Martin and asked his as
sistance in forming Temperance society"
A meeting was held for that purpose in
Father Mathews chapel on April 10, and
the Cork Total Abstinence Society was
formed. Father Mathew signed the pledge
and was followed by sixty others.
The pledge signed that night differs but
slightly from the form afferward adopted,
and which Is found on the medal. The
Cork pledge read:
"I promise to abstain from oil intoxicat-
ing drinks, etc, except used incidentally
and by the order OF o medical man, and to
discountenance the cause and practice OF
intemperance."
Thus was born one of the greatest tenn
peFbnct mONounoutb tuab tuo WOTlu uus
ever seen. By the close OF the year 1c,000
had signed the pledge. The next year the
crusade became an epidemic. On December
!, Father Mathew was advertised to preach
acharity sermon in Limerick. Atremendous
crowd filled the city.
All day long, all night, and most Of the
next day, did Father Mathew stand adj
ministering the pledge; 1900 names were
recorded. though 1t Is estimated h u more
than 100, 900 signed the pledge at that time.
In two days at Waterford 80, 1000 signers
wsre secured. In n day at Clonmel, 3d.
900 signed. During the first year Of the
crusade the Government excise returns
showed a falling of In the consumption OF
Spirits OF 1880, G93 gallons. At the begin
ming Of 1s42, about s ,000, 900 persons In Ire.
land, more than half the entire population,
had signed the pledge, and the consumption
Of liquors had fallen of nearly one-half. The
crusade was then extended to Scotland and
England with wonderful results. In 1849
Father Mathew visited this country. His
tour was O continuous ovation. He was
b~anqueted at the White House by President
Taylor. The United States Senate voted to
admit him to the bar OF the Senate Cham
Der, a distinction which no foreigner had
ever received except General Lafayette.
About GOO, 900 persons signed the pledge in
this country as q result of Father Mathews
efforts. He returned to Ireland in 1851, SO
completely exhausted that he lived only
i've years longer.

Money for Natchitoches.

modern e4-erprises, but has allow
ed several good things to pass her
by for the want of a little effort
and a little inducement.
Just now we are making hercu-
lean efforts to get a rail- road, a
navigable river and waterworks,
all of which we sadly need and
must have. But there is a smaller
thing knocking at our doors just
now, out of which we can realize
more clear money than any one of
the above, do it right away and
without asking the assistance or
consent of some distant capitalists.
More than $4,000 added to the
usual trade Of our city In one week
would make our merchants, hotels,
saloons, livery stables, millinery,
jewelry and barber shops, newspa-
per and insurance offices, bakers,
ice factory, bank, post and land
Offices, lawyers, doctors, drug
stores, oil mill, markets and every
thing else laugh with gladness.
This, and perhaps more, would
be spent in this city by the great
Populist Camp-meeting which will
be held here on the Dist, 22nd,
23rd and 24th of September, if we
can get the pitiful amount of 5000
guaranteed in advance for the nee
essary expenses.
The business men Of Monroe put
up $500 on theirs, and would be
glad to repeat it next week if they
could Get it.
In this parish and those imme-
diately touching it, were cast for
the Populist ticket in the last cleo
ton S,6O4 votes. Now considering
the young men, the women and
those who would attend from more
remote parishes, We could not fail
of more than 3 to 4 thousand at
tendance each day.
At that time cotton would be
half out, and as Natchitoches is as
good market as all these people can
reach, many OF the wagons would
bring along q bale or two of cot
ton to sell and spend here. A low
estimate would be $500 to the in
dividual, and at a 5000 attendance
they wonId leave $4,000 in our
city.
There are cheaper places to hold
such meetings, where the water,
the wood the groves and the good
old church houses are free, and the
b6untiful country picnic dinners
furnished free by the farmers and
their good wives, eclipse the cholc-
est vands Of the Natchitoches Ho-
tells, and here they will go if our
citizens do not help to bear some
Of the extra expense of holding It
in our town.
Our people love to go to town
occasionally, have to go to market,
and If they can "kill two birds
with one stone," many will come
to the great camp-meeting and do
their fall buying at the same time,
who would otherwise trade at Rus
ton, Arcadia, Bienville, Winnfeld,
Montgomery, Colfax, Boyce, Alex
andria, LeesviIle, Hornbeck, Many
Marthaville, Grand Cane, Mans
field, and Coushatta.
1t would give the city such an
advertising as it has never had he
fore, and do much to restore that
harmony and good feeling which
must exist between every prosper
Gus town and its country patron
age.
Come now, gentlemen, show your
good business capacity and Judge
ment, and let's have this great
meeting with all Its advantages,
and you'll feel like you'd had a
railroad and was better able to
work for another, whileyou'd have
something to clock" in your safes
and to pay your water-works taxes.
