A Pleasa mt Surprise.

The ladies of the Woodstown W. G. T.
U. some time ago planned a surprise to
Mrs. r. p. Patterson, the County Presi
dent, as a recognition of her faithful
work. Invitations were sent to the
Unions, and yesterday afternoon, while
Mrs. Patterson was absent from home,
purposely called out, the friends took
charge of the house and made themselves
at home. When the lady of the house
fiually appeared, her surprise can well be
imagined at seeing such a gathering oil
familiar faces, and a long table spread
ready for a sumptuous feast, the good
things having been provided by the
visitors, with generous gifts of canned
fruit, flowers and a handsome bunch OF
chrysanthemums and vase from Geo. M.
Andrews. which occupied the centre OF
the table. 1t was a delightful occasion
for all. The threatening weather kept

Abolition and Prohibition

The advocates of temperance and pro-
hibition, as a mean of agitating the
public mind and creating a popular sem
timent in favor of State and national
legislation against the Ubiquitous liquor
traffic, have for many long years been
following the same course pursued by
the abolition party during the time Of
the anti slavery movement.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
political temperance reformers have not
the united support of the voting church
membership throughout the country,
they are not maligned nor spoken of in
such derision by the clergy as were the
faithful and diligent workers in the
abolition cause. A clipping from a
Massachusetts, paper, published in 1850,
has the following:
Rev. MIR. Mcclure, of Maiden, having
been requested a few Ssbbaths since to
read q notification that Miss Lucy Stone
would deliver an address in the to wn hall
on a specified evening that week on the
subject of abolition, the reverend gentle
man glanced at the written notice, and,
rising in the pulpit, observed with great
gravity: I am requested to give notice
that there will be a hen-crowing in the
town hall on - evening, in imitation
Of a cook The benediction followed
and the audience adjourned" B.

A con1agration on Sunday morning was
narrowly averted at BenjamiD Crispiu's,
near HaIrisonville Station. As Mr..
Crispin's men were doing up the work
they smelled smoke, but did not know
from whence 1t came. AS Mrs. Crispin
went to the milk house for milk, she
also smelled smoke, and, calling to her
son Howard, who said he had also
smelled smoke for some time, but did
not know where 1t came from, but upon
looking up they saw the smoke coming
rapidly from under the ~rafters. At onoe
a search was made. The fire was
smoulding in she haymow of his large
hay barn, in which was about 40 tons of
hay. Mr.. Crispin went in the NOW and
applied water as it was passed up by his
men until more help came. The smoke
Was SO dense in the NOW that he thought
at n time he would have to abandon it,
but by hard work they succeeded fin put
ting it out. The origin of the fire is a
mystery.

Joe Patchen seems to be unfortunate
in his attempts to take q record of two
minutes. At Ottumwa Iowa, the black
horse stepped to the half in just one
minute. At that point the runner that
was acting as pacemaker ran across the
track, almost colliding with Patchen and
frightening him SO badly that he slack
ened up, finishing the mile in 2.04.
Joe Patchen made two attempts at
record breaking at Ingalls, Park, Joliet,
ILL.,, on Wednesday afternoon. In the
first attempt be went to lower his owl
record of 2.014, but failed, covering the

2023. He then tried for the four-whee
wagon record and succeeded in lowering
the worlds record nearly four seconds,

has materislized the very fast miles ar,
easily counted. Star Pointer has paced
