LINCOLN'S NAME KISSED.
Sensational Interruption in NewY ork
to an Address on Prohibition.

New York, April 6.-There was a SEN
sational interruption to the meeting of
the American Temperance union in
Chickering hall. Rev. J. B. Dunn, D.
D, secretary of the National Temper
ance society, made an address in which
he prOphesied the coming of prohibition
of the liquor traffic in response to a re-
sistless growth of public sentiment.
The abolition of slavery, he said, had
been brought about in spite of difficult
ties like those that now stand in the
way of prohibition.
The speaker referred several times to
Abraham Lincoln and the emancipation
proclamation. TheSmention of Lincolns
name was received. with applause, but
the sound of Kissing was plainly heard
above the hand cIapping.
A Stylishly dressed woman with gray
hair, who had been sitting in the fourth
row of seats, left her seat with an angry
gesture and walked up the aisle to the
door. Then she turned and called back
to the preacher that he had better leave
the negroes alone and free the white
slaves.
Free the white slaves" she shouted
a number of times, and then slammed
the door.
She told an inquirer she was Mrs. NJ.
A. Jones.
1.-The idea of talking like that she
said excitedly. Il could not stand it,
Why don't these people leave slavery
alone and talk about temperance? Why
don't they free the white slaves? There
are IS, 900, 900 of them, and there are on
these meetings in Chickering hall for?
If they'd go down to the slums instead
of preaching like they do, they might
save peODle"
