WoMAN's COUNCIL.

The proposed meeting of the Woman S
Council for Monday, the 22d, to be held
in the vestry of Pine. street church, will
undoubtedly be quite inspiring to all
who have an interest in the philanthro-
pic societies represented in the council.
The idea of the council is primarily for
generating fraternal spirit among those
various organizations, and the work I'M
dertaken is only such as will bring about
concerted action from all the societies re
presented.
Next Monday afternoon there will be a
verbal report from each society and it is
possible that any one of those reports may
surprise worker who has devoted her
self to other sorts of work, to learn what
is being done here in her own city by
those outside.
On Monday evening Mrs. Isabella Davis
of New York, corresponding secretary of
the Kings Daughters, as we'll as an Off
Ger of the council, will address the meet
ing, AID her presence will naturally
arouse much interest among the younger
women who belong to the chapters here
connected with the Kings Daughters.
Let everybody who is interested in the
work of philanthropy in its broadcast
sense, make an effort to attend these
meetings.

PoRTLANDsGoLF CLUB.

At meeting of the new house commit
tee of the Portland Golf club held Monday
afternoon, several plans for the winter 8
quarters were suggested. 1t was decided
not to build until spring and then upon
the site at the top of the hill on the course
on the Saco road. The newly built house
which was offered to.the club for rental
was found to be unfinished inside. This
house stands opposite the site decided on
for the new house. If the house can be
fin shed at once the club will probably
take it. If it is not, they will take a
couple of rooms out at the links near the
Cash Corner car line, fit them up and use
them until the new house can be built.
Final steps will be taken at the COM
mittee meeting Thursday afternoon to be
held at Chairman Frank Payson's home
and the plans will then be submitted to
the general club meeting which will be
held in the evening with Dean Stills.

CAPTAIN PICKETT.
The Temperance Pledge Which Neal Dow
Wrote for Him-visit to the Snug Har-
Dor.

Captain E. P Pickett of the Barge
Office, has an interesting temperance
pledgs which was written for him by the
late General Neal Dow. Captain Pickett
was one of General Dow's oldest friends,
and always called on him at New Years
time. Moved by the intemperance which
he saw about him, especially among sail
ors, Captain Pickett asked General Dow
TO write pledge for him. This the latter
did In the following words:
The undersigned, duly impressed with
the evils of many kinds coming from the
use of Intoxicating liquors, and with the
duty of setting right example, do
solemnly promise, for our own sakes as
we'll as for an example to others, that
henceforth we will not drink any intoxi-
eating liquors of any kind whatever. May
God help me to keep this pledge"
Captain Fickett has obtained on this
pledge over seven hundred names and
among these are the names of many who
have thereby been led to renounce the de-
structive habit. Not long ago Captain
Pickett received letter from a man in
Machias, who through this pledge was
led to renounce the habit of seventeen
years. He tells of the happiness his re-
formation has brought to his wife, his
home and himself, and expresses his ap-
probation of what Captain Pickett did
for him.
Not long ago Captain Pickett visited
the Sailors Snug Harbor in New York,
and there was greeted by some of the old
Portland sailors. Among them Samuel
York, who is aged IS, James Curtis,
Harry Matthews, James Carny, John
Riley, John York, and James Gillespie.
| There are at present over nine hundred
inmates in the institution. They are
pleasantly housed,s and the dining room
is delightful place, with it's many
tables, covered with snowy white cloths,
and each set for thirty two sailors. There
| is connected with the institution a library
of 1000 volumes. The institution was
founded in 1901 by Robert Randall, and
the building was erected in 1881. Over
