TEMPERANCE DAY.
An Organized and Systematic Cam
paig!l.

An Organized and Systematic Cam
paiyn.
In every Methodist Church in the
United States, in every hamlet and town,
wherever a congregation listens to the
word of God from the lips OF minister
of the Methodist Church yesterday was
observed as temperance day. In every
corner of England's domain, where a
Methodist congregation existed the
doctrine preached was the all-sect, one
Of temperance.
In the Sunday schools the lesson for
this day is calculated to instil in the
minds of scholars knowledge OF the
evil eftecst Of the liquor traffic. In addi-
ton to the combined influence OF the
many churches there has OF late been a
strong movement in favor OF an organic
ed antagonism to the liquor traffic.
This organization means war to the
knife on liquor interests and its watch
word is "No Saloons"
The universal movement yesterday
will be taken as a starting point and the
work will be unfateringly continued.
In the local churches yesterday there
was probably the strongest and most
able orators in the country on temper
ance question. At Grace church in the
morning Mrs. Boole, Of New York,
talked earnestly and fiuently. In the
evening at St. Paul's church she again
addressed large and attentive audience.
Rev. A. J. kynett, L. L. ID. who is the
father of the church extension work in
the Methodist Church and also the found.
er of the Anti-Saloon League in the inter-
est of which he is working, spoke
in the morning at st. PauPs and
in the evening at Grace church.
DR.. Kynett is in this city in the inter-
est OF the league and has been for several
weeks organizing here for a determined
effort to break the liquor rule in this
State.
At Asbury church, "the cradle OF
Methodism on the peninsula" Charles
NJ. Crittendon, the millionaire evangelist
and his two associates, Charles S. Nor
ton and Mrs. X. W. Barrett, instituted
1.-The beginning OF a series OF services
which will be continued until December
10. At last nights service the church
was crowded almost to slffocatlon, and
many were turned away, proving con-
cusiyely the popular interest in the
matter.
1t is understood the Liquor Dealers
Association has called Il meeting to dis
cUss the question and to make prepara-
tions to defend themselves, as the
thorough organization which has taken
place in anti-liquor circles betokens a
long and severe fight. The efforts OF the
Anti-Saloon League will be concentrated
upon the liquor trade of this state and no
means will be left untred to insure sue
cess. During the winter, it is proposed
to hold meetings at regular periods in
order to keep in touch and to secure un-
animity of effort.

TKE GUNbOAT LEAVES Us.
Twenty Sailors and Three Marines
Left Behind---Mcn Sorry to Leave.

The gallant ship has departed. The
festivities are over, but there remains in
the hearts OF the people lasting love
for the United States gunboat Whining
ton. Yes, more than that remains
Twenty sailors bearing "U. s. S. Will
mington," on their caps and three ma
rincs from the same vessel are still in
this city. The gunboat took q sudden
den departure and these jolly tars not be-
ing on hand at the hour Of departing
were left behind.
This is but a further attest of Will
mingtonian's hospitality. Here we have
twenty-three men who are SO facinated
with Wilmington and the people of the
city, that they allow themselves to be
left behind when their vessel starts on a
long cruise to South America, and thus
jeorardize their chances of seeing many
interesting places in the southern hemis-
phep. All the men were taken either
to private residences or boarding houses
and given their suppers. Several left for
Baltimore last night and several are still
here
At2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
Wilmington cast off her lines and under
tow Of the tug Laura B. proceeded down
the river, back over the course she had
one week before traversed amid a con-
tinued ovation. The officers and men
were both TO leave this city Which for
one week has exercised every source to
give them Il reception that rivals any en-
teuainment ever given naval officers.
Commander Todd said that he left very
much attached to Wilmington and all
its citizens and would cherish the MEM
oIics of the delightful visit.
Many members Of the Board Of Trade
committee and other persons were at the
wharf to bid the noble craft farewell and
sodspeed, and the parting showed that
the citizens Of this city have appreciated
The boats visit, and that the officers and
men have thoroughly enjoyed their stay
here. The gunboat will leave the mouth
of the Christiana to-day at noon and pro.
cecd to Newport News, where she will
coal up and get in trim for her three
years cruise in southern waters.

The Sixteenth Anniversary.

The sixteenth anniversary of the Wom-
ans Foreign Missionary Society of Mt.
Salem Methodist Episcopal Church was
held yesterday, at 1890 a. M, in the
church.
The society is engaged in foreign mis-
sionary work, having schools and medi-
cal dispensaries as one feature of it's
work. An important part of its doing
this year has been caring for the famine
stricken children Of India, many of
whom had been brought back into life
by its tender ministrations.
The society has been unusually success
ful in reaching and christianizing the
Zennana women of India. The decora-
tions of the church consisted in mottoes
on the walls, ferns and potted plants
around the altar. A special program
of music was rendered by the choir. A
very interesting report of the years
work of the Mt. Salem Auxiliary was
read by the secretary, Mrs. Richard
Brown.
After the secretary's report had been
read, the annual address was delivered
by Mrs. Lucia D. Osborne, principal Of
Union Missionary Training Institute OF
Brooklyn, New York. The address was
listened to by a large audience which
showed their appreciation by their close
attention to the speaker. AT the close
of the address Mrs. Osborne sang a solo
in the Hindostanii language A col.
lection was taken at the close OF the ser
vice for the work OF tho society. The
officers of the society are President,
Mrs. Gentieu; Secretary, Mrs. Richard
Brown; Treasurer, Mrs. William Hamll'
ton. The society is making great pro.
gress along all lines of its work.

A CHANCE FOR IHE CORONER
Armour's Ice Loft Was Not Con-
structed According to Law.
IT'S COLLAPSE NOT DUE TO FIRE
The Building Inspector Who OvorsaW
the Erection ofthe Structure
Did Not DO His
Duty.

The collapse of the roof of the Armour
ice loft, which cost James 7. Smith his
life, opens up a very serious question.
The roof of this structure was in
reality a floor under the roof proper
Upon this floor or ceiling was placed an
immense quantity OF sawdust with many
layers Of paper.
Up through this mass Of packing has
risen for ten years the dampness OF the
ice loft until paper and sawdust were
thoroughly water logged and the great
weight Of this floor rested entirely
upon }x3 studs
This immense weight would have been
dangerous on any tIoor even though con-
structed in the ordinary manner but it
is now said that the beams of the roof of
ArmOur's ice vault did not abut into the
wall, but rested wholly upon this 3x33
stndding.
II this be SO, then this building was
faultily constructed, as the law is very
explicit upon this point.
The building is comparatively a new
one, having been constructed in 1897 for
Armour & Co. by Mr.. Mayer, of Phila-
dclphia, who at that time was building
almost all OF the refrigerators for the
company.
The interior of the ice loft is lined by
boards and the frail nature Of the sup
port was hidden. Joseph +. Flaherty
the foreman in charge Of the repairing
said that the recent fire was not re-
sponsible for the collapse but the in
secure support.
When the Coroners inquest is held
upon the body Of James T. Smith these
facts, given by men who know, will in
probability be very seriously considered
and no perfunctory white washing of
the person at fault will be permitted.
The real status of the cause is this
Somebody is responsible for the violation
Of the law. The failure to fulfill the
laws requirements is the direct cause OF
a mans death.
When these facts are taken into consid-
Grafton, it is altogether probable that
the man who held the Office OF Building
Inspector at that time, and whose duty
it was to see that the building was prop
crlv constructed, will answer before the
bar OF justice ior the death Of James T.
smith.

SECOND SUNDAY AT ST. PAUES
Music of the Dedication Services Re-
peatcd Yestcrday---FiveA Addi-
tioual Voices in the Choir.

MNSsc OF the DcO1CHt1On iocTSICcS Iec-
peatcd Yestcrlay---FiveA Addi-
tional Voices in the Choir.
st. Paul's choir, Fourth and jackson
streets, repeated the dedication music
yesterday, L. B. Preston, director. Rev.
NJ. X. Fallon preached at the noon
day service, taking the lesson text from
the epistle Of ST. Paul to the Romans,
chapter VV.U-13: "And this know
ing the season that now it is high time
for you to awake out Of sleep, for now
is salvation nearer than when we first
believed. He said in part
"1he word Advent means Christmas
in English, or, to be more English, it
means the birth of Christ into this
world. For many ages the birth OF
Christ was called Advent. 1t was hard
ly ever called Nativity, because the early
Christian Church was afraid of the word
Nativity because among the Jews and
all over the Greek world the word Ma
tivity had sinister meaning and was
Synonymous with horoscope.
St. Ambrose, who lived at the end OF
the 4th century (300) called his famous
"Hymn on the Nativity Advent. This
famous hymn was pharaphrased by Mil
ton in his matchless verses called the
"Hymn on the Nativity" and later by
Rev. Jno. keble in the "Christian year. ="
st. Ambrose was the famous Archbishop
Milan, who in history is called the "lay-
man, because from among laymen he
was elected by the people to the respon-
sible post he held SO long.
The Apostolic constitution called the
four weeks before Christmas "Advent," "
st. Peter having called these four Sum
days the Sundays before "Advent. AT
one time the weeks of preparation for
Christ's birth began the day after the
feast of St. Martin, November 18th, and
we're called st. Martins Lent. This is
the origin of the merriment and great
feasting on wild fowl, and music and
dancing and carnival and masquerades
on the Saints Feast, November llth.
In France, Ireland and Germany, but
especially i'll Ireland this strange carni-
val is still kept up.
The five Sundays here mentioned repre-
sent by symbol the four thousand years
Of waiting on preparation for Christ
coming. In the lesson Of this Sundays
Mass, st. Paul very beautifully com
pares a life of sin to sleep In sleep we
do not reason. We dream and only the
imagination is awake. Our bath on
pleasures wave is to us a "sea Of glory
And in this dream we are very supersti-
tious. We believe everything and
Everything goes" in dream. The
dream is veritable GYPSY girl whom
your boys and girls hirt with. The
rude awakening comes when we awake
at judgment. Wake up now. Pay your
debts to your employed and employer.
Be fair and square, honest, just in
thought, word, and in your dealings.
Rev. Father Quigley preached in the
evening at 8 o'clock from st. Luke's gos-
pei, chapter q, V. 1884.

as follows: ! would call him Napoleon,
but Napoleon made his way to the EN-
pire, over broken oaths, and sea OF
blood. This man never broke his word;
no retaliation was his motto and the
rule of his life, the last words uttered to
his son in France, were these: "My
boy, some day, you will 60 back
to San Domingo, and forget that
France murdered your father.
would call him Cromwell, but
Cromwell was only soldier and the
state he founded went down into the
grave with him. I would call him Wash.
ington, but the great Virginian held
slaves. This man risks his Empire
rather than permit the slave trade in the
humblest village in his dominion. You
think me fanatic tonight, for you read
history, not with your eyes, but with
your prejudice, but fifty years hence
when truth gets a hearing, the muse OF
history will put Phantom for tire
Greeks, Brutus for the Romans, Hamr'
ton for England, Fayette for France, then
choose Washington as your consummate
flowers of your earlier civilization. John
Brown, the ripe old MONDAY, then dip
