Chapel on Belmont street.

There was an interesting service at
the chapel on Belmont street in behalf
of temperance on Monday evening. Mrs
Partington, of Portland, Me, addressed
u large audience and held their atten-
ton for over an hour. She gave an in
teresting statement in regard to the
facts showing that "PrOhibition does
prohibit" Her long experience in q
state where prohibition has been en-
forced for many years, taught her that
the law was successful And even in
the large cities the evil was greatly
lessened. She showed that boys are
brought un without the evil influences
of the saloon to tempt them. Drunken
men cannot obtain strong drink easily.
The law, she declared, though not al
ways carried into effect, especially pro-
tects the boys and the homes.
