A PECULIAR INCIDENT.
At Woman's Meeting.

An incident occurred at the w. c. T. q.
state convention at Cortland, N. Y, early
in October, that marks an era of progress
and is interesting inasmuch as it Indicates
the trend of thought OF the present day.
1t was proposed that Postum Cereal Coffee
be served at meals for delegates, in place OF
ordinary coffee. Some of the ladies stated
that they had tried Postum once and did
not fancy it. However il was served at the
first general meal and the ladies were very
emphatic in their terms of approval. Some
one thereupon put the question, whether
the convention be served with ordinary
coffee or with Postum, and the vote was for
Postum without one dissenting voice the
ladies flOcking about the cook to ascertain
how TO make such delicious beverage on
which many of them had failed in their
first attempts. The answer was simple: boil
fifteen minutes after boiling commences.
while for church suppers, conventions, etc.
inclose the product in two cheese cloth
bags in coffee boiler. and boil one hour
The famous Postum Coffee thus made fur
nishes a hot beverage full of nourishmenf
for nerves and brain and delicious to the
taste. People are slowly awakening to tho
fact that the daily drtgging with narcotiSs
in the shape of coffee and tobacco accounts
for the many Ills OF head. nerves. heart
and stomach The action of the New Yorls
state convention indicates their inte.Iigence
on the subject in hand.

Peg Bunson, the heroine of story by
John W. Spear, to which she gives her name,
is introduced to the reader as a slatternly
and generally ostracised girl of eleven, but
before the acquaintance ends she appears
as an accomplished woman who becomes a
good artist, lingust, charming singer, an
active phlanthropist, brilliant society
lady, and is finally happily married. The
author does not accomplish all this without
a good deal of labor, and the story is one
that is worked out with considerable me-
chanical effect rather than one that tells
itself Most of it is located in the city of
Rochester. n. Y, and vicinity.

John Leighton. Jr.

This is novel with a purpose, and yet
the purpose does not dominate the story
to such an extent as to prevent it from
being a good one. The purpose seems to
be to illustrate the revolt of reason against
the narrowness of dogmatic religion and
the unavailing protest of passion against
the limitations imposed by marriage. Re-
ligion and love are the two great factors
in the story. The hero, John Leighton,
ir is q man whose early life was so
warped by narrow and unwise religion that
he came near wrecking his soul The hero
inc is a girl friend of his who makes an UNI
happy marriage. Later, they meet and fall
in love, yet they are not overcome by pas
sion. divorce is talked Of but conscience
protests against even that. Both remain
true to principle reason and religion tri-
umph, and the story ends pathetically but
well. Harper & Brothers

Day after day the public is treated to expert opn-
ions az to whether there will be any performances
and. II so, how many Just now IT seems to h
practically settled that there will be performances
but II does not appear to be certain how many.
The papers yesterday published interviews With
John y. Schoenel. who was in New-fork, ard
Maurice Grau. who was in Chicago, which read
rather curiously when they came 10 be read u
gether. Mr. Schoeffel was quoted IS saving thai
he did not know anything about the raising OF any
fund for guaranteeing the road tour OF the opera
company unless it had been done after go O'Clock
on Monday afternoon, and Mr.. Grau quoted
describing just that sort OF fund with great pa..
ticularity. and mentioning Mr.. SchoeHei a. .
subscriber TO II to the amount OF s2.5"
Mr. Schoeffel cleared up this difficulty yesterday
by the obvious method Of asserting that the paa
Of the fund must have been decided on after he
left Chicago. It certainly had not been determined
he said. when he came away, but It had been
talked of by himself and Mr.. Grau ard he had len

they have been practically all applied 10 the pay

never would have been attempted. But the nfss
