he believed the Salvation Army has a mes

Yesterday afternoon at the Second Presby-

the meeting on the subject of Others,
giving an outline OF the plan of the Sal

merged tenth" The general idea of the
members of the organization is TO be SEN
sitive TO the sorrows and wretchedness Of
others. The "others" referred to were par
ticularly those in America, where there are
5000. 900 in distress. Colonel Brewer re-
ferred especially to the criticisms that have
been made of the garb and the methods Of
the Salvation Army. He said that there
we're people who lived in drawing rooms
and who attended fine churches who
needed to know of the love of God, just as
much as those In the slums. and that the
members of the army visited and held
meetings in universities and drawing rooms

Colonel Brewer told the story of a young,
woman, a graduate of Nassar, who went e.
Europe. She desired to do some literary
work and aspired to writing the greatest
American novel. To gather experiences.
one evening she attended a Salvation Army
meeting in one OF the sIum districts. She
had been an infdel, even as a child. and
used TO argue religious questions with her
father. She was converted at that meeting.

DISPENSARY LAW.
Washington to Adopt the South

Blu for That Purpose Has Passed State
House Of Representatives.

Olympus, Wash, Feb. Washington is on
the verge of wiping out her saloons and whole
sale liquor houses by adopting prohibitory
law similar TO that governing the sale OF
liquors in South Carolina The dispensary
law known as the Cline BILL has passed the
house bya vote of A. ayes TO 30 nays, much TO
the surprise OF the House itself. The measure
was supported by nearly all the mlddle-of-
tho-road Populists and by few silver Repub
licans.
The proposed law puts full control of the
liquor traffic in the hands OF the governor,
but eliminates from the South Carolina law
the profit system. The governor appoints "A
state commission, which in turn appoints
county commissioners and they in turn APP
point local dispensers OF all liquor handled

cient profit attached TO pay all expenses.
