OF one man but on the part OF all.
The Methodist and Universalist societies
we're unrepresented.
F. E. Newell spoke for the Christian
Endeavor society OF the Congregational
church. "When any of you step out and
up" he declared, las our states attorney
has done you will find us ready to stand by
YOU" He also commended the stand taken
by the new proprietors of Towns hotel.
c. j. Henderson representing the Sons
Of Temperance next spoke. He said II
am not going to mince matters but shall
speak very plainly. As an organization
the Sons OF Temperance is not doing any
thing that amounts to anything except in a
social way, fact I am sorry to admit. !"
He said he had often heard the exclama-
ton to the effect that our states attorney
is a good and noble man. etc, but his
efforts would be as futile as his predeces-
sors' unless there was united effort on
the part Of temperance people.
IL w TIocI Spohe lor tuc L M. ". n.
He said that very few OF the young men
are led astray through temptations at
home most of them took their first drink
when away from Bellows Falls. He for
one should be sorry to see open bars in
our midst.
Rev. c. r. B. Dodge said he was glad
to see the states attorney present and
wished to assure him of the sympathy and
support of the temperance people in the
county, and he believed they were in the
majority. He prayed that the states attor-
ney would have the backbo to do all that
he had said he would do and in his opinion
there was no doubt of the outcome.
Rev. Mr.. Fullerton said he had lived in
Maine a great deal and it could not be
beaten into his head that the Maine liquor
law was not success.

TEMPERANCE RALLY.

Meeting last Evening at Congregational
Church..The States Attorney and the
Landlords of Towns Hotel Get Their Share
of Attention..Sons Of Temperance Scored.
About so gathered in the Congregational
church last evening for the Fast day tenn
perance rally announced in these columns
Wednesday. Rev. Ellsworth Fullerton
presided; in his opening remarks he said
that every clergyman in town had been
asked to be present and speak. Fr. Rey-
nolds had said he was in sympathy with
temperance work but for sufficient reasons
had declined the invitation to be present.
Rev. j. w. Naramore had been unexpect-
edly called to New York. The chairman
then called upon Mrs. A. Whitney who
represented the w. G. T. U. She read a
paper on the subject, ''What it means to
be member of the w. G. T. u" She
took occasion to commend the stand taken
by the states attorney and hoped every
law abiding citizen would stand by him.
Rev. ID. L Sanford was called. He said
he believed that every earnest citizen what
ever his views regarding the present pro-
hibitory law would agree that it was better
to have it thoroughly enforced than to have
it stand dead letter. Now that the warn
ing has been given and the war is on he
would like to see the law enforced he con-
fessed however that he had never seen but
one prohibitory law enforced and that was
in Connecticut. The man appointed pros
ecuting agent was leading grocer be.
cause OF his activity he was boycotted by
both liquor dealers and those who had
voted "no license with the result that hi:
business was destroyed and he had to leave
town to make a living. To carry out the
law means faithfulness not only on the par

BOSTON MILK.

Big Receipts, Big Sales, Big Surplus, State
ment for March.
We give below the figures of milk re-
ceived and sold by the milk contractors in
Boston for the month of March, which is a
somewhat unpleasant showing The re-
ceipts are the largest of any March on
record, exceeding those of last year by
100, 1000 cans. The sales also show very
large increase, but not in proportion to the
increase of receipts, SO that the ssurplus il
240, 900 cans, the largest ever known in
March. The nearest approach TO this was
in March, 1895, when the surplus was 229-
600 cans. In January the surplus was the
largest Of any January on record, but in
February it was few cans less than in
February, 1896. These large figures Of
the surplus, however, may be somewhat
misleading, as they deal with larger re.
ceipts. In 1889, when there was some
thing of an agitation on account Of the
lai re surplus for six months the surplus
averaged 27 per cent. some months run
ming as high as 80 per cent. But as this

Congress to the Rescue.

On Wednesday congress did wise and
philanthropic thing; on the recommends
ton of President Mckinley 5000, 900 was
appropriated for the relief of those suffer-
ing from the devastations of high water in
the west.
The resolution as finally passed not only
includes sufferers by the Mississippi and its
tributaries, but also sufferers by the Red
river of the north in North Dakota and
Minnesota and the amount appropriated is
100000 to be expended under the direc-
ton of the secretary of war.
