To-day Is Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union day at the Moundsville
Prohibition Assembly. The ladies have
full charge and the exercises will be
something extra. Quite a large list OF
visitors will likely be present and the
ladies will be sure to take charge Of
everybody and entertain in their own
modest way.
Yesterday the programme, as pub
llshed, was carried out and although not
a very large crowd was present those
In charge held very interesting exer-
cIses. There is always a number of the
faithful who are interested in this class
of work and they attend every meeting.
The recitation by Miss Harris was very
pleasing and she was well received. The
same rule applies to the Daily quar-
tette. This organization renders good
music all the time and pleases the au-
dIences.
Last evening a number Of the young
folks met at the assembly and chorus
was partially organized. 1t is the in.
tention OF Mr.. Daily TO have ful
chorus and from now on he invites all
young people to Join and encourage the
movement. In the afternoon session
the Daily quartette opened and after
prayer bH Rev. W. 4. Williams, Rev. g.
H. Mead delivered his second address.
He had for his subject the Mills that
grind" and It was as usual, very in
teresting. He opened by telling hum
gtnryy ~ tho nA0nln he
Ing humbugged, quoting p. T. Bar
mum as the author.
This story, he continued, CHASING our
people with being deceived in regard to
the saloons and the drink habit. he
asked, what Is the value OF dollar
and how is 1t used? One man Will take
It and buy bread and meat, while the
other will get rum. Which amounts to
the most and who does 1t benefit? This
question is easily answered, and II We
had more men with good manhood who
purchase bread lnstad OF rum, we would
have better nation to-day.
Next he classed the different mills
and what they grind. All, he said, used
raw material, even the gin mill. Take
saw mill and It turns out wood,a grist
mill, meal, and from paper mill paper,
from gin mill Is produced rum and az
ter that Its material is our boys. 1t
keeps on grinding the young man, tear
ing his character, his manhood, and at
last brushes out his life as drunkard.
our mothers with broken hearts have
to witness this and the blow Is sadden-
Ing in the extreme. -Four years ago In
the city OF Boston, saw a drunken
woman lying in the street." said the
speaker. "She had Just been elected
from a saloon where she had got in
this condition. This same saloon pays
$1,000 to sell this beverage and then
kicks their victims out to be taken be-
fore the court TO be punished for the
wrong done. say that the saloons are
as much to blame and should be closed
up.
"some years agoa woman came to my
New York home and told me that her
SON, who l knew well when he was
young, was in Chicago and had grown
IN to be a drunkard. She and her hus-
band had made trip to see him for the
purpose OF getting him to lead Chris
tlan life. but their trip was unsuccess-
full, Knowing that the boy admired me,
she came to me to ask my help. After
the situation was explained went to
that city and there found the boy In a
terrible state OF drunkenness. ! took
him In charge and by praying and get
ting him Interested he lost his appetite
for the drink and / brought him home
with me. The joy OF the parents on his
arrival was wonderful, and since that
time he has grown up, is now married,
and Is a superintendent OF a large
Sunday school in Chicago. He has over
1900 children under his charge and q
more tFuer prohlbitlonist never walked
the streets Of any CITY,"

through and many OF the audience were
deeply moved while 1t was being recit-
ed.
