eral gentlemen. Mrs. A. w. Harrington

Mirah Taylor, president of the Leicester
Union, and Miss Alice j. White Of West

among them being Mrs. Harrington and
Mrs Taylor of Leicester, and Miss
White of West Brookfield. Mrs. Eleanor
Knights read from the last issue of The
Voice Miss Wizards letter to the
mothers of the country relative to the
drink evil at Yale and Princeton, also
the petition drawn up by Miss Willard
for the parents of college students to
sign. The Voice has interviewed promi-
whether they would send sons of theirs
to Yale if steps were not taken to stop
drinking among the students, and 10
answers in the negative, with the port
rats of those making them. were shown
yesterday.
Supper was served by Mrs. Kinney,
assisted by Miss Ella Lock, Mrs. S. L.
Shaffer, Mrs George s. Mcclellan, Miss
Maud Heath, Mrs. Jennie Puffer, Miss

There is the usual disagreement as to
the pecuniary results of Chicopee's mu-
nicipal lighting plant. The city officials
figure out profit of 1892 for the year,
but the state gas and electric light COM
mission says the concern is $7SS5 behind
the game, and in this 1t has the support
Of the letter Of the law as to bookkeep-
ing. 1t all depends ON whether the pay
ment Of interest on the bonds, the de-
probation fund and the payments on the
principal are to be counted in making up
the cost. The earnings of the plant
amount to $15,527, expenses SIP, 1913. bal
ance counted by the city as profit 1882.
Besides there have been paid s94,O5S in
terest on per cent bonds; cost of plant
and improvements. $376S; depreciation,
$4515; payment on principal, $4,000; total.
$11,277. Substracting from this the
profits of operation, and there remains
a deficit of $685.. The objection to the
states method Of calculation is obvious
from the standpoint of the promoters of
the scheme. 1t makes the price of lights
so high at the outset that business could
hardly be expected to increase. The city
therefore fixed the rates at what 1t was
believed the price would be after the
plant was we'll established and partially
paid for. This is virtual acknowledge
ment that In the beginning the business
must be operated at a loss

Germany's exclusion Of American
fresh fruits is part and parcel with her
exclusion Of American meats and dried
fruits. There was never anything bet
ter than sham pretext for these ar
bitrary acts. Germany is a rigid pro-
lection country, and every now and
then the government thinks it political
ly necessary to do something for the
farmers. Just now the elections are
approaching. The "spiced" meats, the
few grains Of zinc found In dried apples
Gust as in the German articie), the
SAN Jose flake" which affects a small
quantity of California apples imported
none Of these things are Of any possible
consequence, but the products undersell
the German product, and so they must
be shut out, even if, as in the case Of
meat, the poor have to take inferior
meat or go without. From our stand
point, the worst feature Of the case is
the discourteous and abrupt character
of the order. 1t looks as if Germany
were piqued about something.

"The credit of the bank will be in no
way impaired" said a dispatch telling
of the loss of $39S,OOO by injudicious
loans negotiated by Cashier Quinlan of
the Chemical National Bank Of New
York That the loss need not affect the
solvency of the bank may be readily be-
lieved, but are not the recent develop
ments singular commentary on the
fragility Of financial prestige? The
cashier was not the only man who had
been allured by the specious represent
ations of the men who got the money.
President Williams, the very one to
whose judgment the erring cashier was
expected to defer, had had dealings with
one Of them, and yet his bank had a
reputation for stability and safety that
was unsurpassed.

Count Cassini will be the first Rus
sian ambassador to the United States,
and President Cleveland's friend, Ethan
Allen Hitchcock, will be the first Amer
lean to bear the rank of ambassador at
St. Petersburg. The new Russian di-
plomatist, who succeeds Minister Kot-
zebue, did the car eminent service in
China, where he thwarted British in
fuence, held back the japanese after
the close of the war, prevented the per-
manent occupation of the Liaotung pc
ninsula and obtained those surprising
concessions for Russian railroads in
Manchuria and winter port at Port
Arthur. 1t is a great man who is com
ing to join the diplomatic corps in
Washington.

There seems to be general assent to
the fact that the third rail electric sys-
tenn from Hartford to New Britain held
up it's end-both ends and all the inter-
vening lines-admirably during the re-
cent snowstorm. The snow did not elope
with the electric fluid and paralyze the
road. The New York underground troll
ley lines also withstood the test of the
storm, and there was no danger to be
encountered from falling wires. New
York, however, had only four or five in
ches of snow, as compared with five or
six times that amount in New England,
and what the experience would be under
the severer test is a matter Of some
doubt.

How the ants do enjoy the remark
of Senator White, that The Hawaiian
annexation business is based on senti-
mentality and sugar. Up to- date, most

of distinction while he is i'll office. He
is slated to succeed Congressman APPS

son congressman in that position, he
will do exceptionally well. Doubtless he
hopes his new distinction will increase

About 80 boys and girls were present,
and all sorts of games were played, af-
ter which refreshments were served.

these the Woman's Temperance Pub
fishing Association, Mrs. Knights said
that 1t was founded in 1880 and is the
largest publishing house in the world
managed by women.
The National Temperance and Med
lead College Association was organized
In 1884, formally opened in 1885. Its OBJ
Ject Is 10 demonstrate and teach the
scientific fact that 1t is not essential to
use alcoholic liquors In medical or sur
gical practice. The idea originated In
London, England, in 1873. Connected
with our temperance hospital is a train
Ing school for nurses, named for Clara
Barton.
Physicians desiring admission for
practice must subscribe to the following
rules: All medicines used in the hospital
must be prepared without alcohol, and
all physicians accepting positions on the
medical staff of hospital or dispensary,
pledge themselves not to administer al
cohol In any form to any patient, nor to
call in counsel for patients any physi-
clan who will advise its use; such physi-
clans must bear pure character, be to-
tai abstainer5 from liquor and tobacco
in order to become member of the
physicians association.
The Woman's Temperance Temple has
been passing through the financial cy-
clone and has arrived at the testing
time when Its ownership is to be deter
mined. The effort is being made to re-
tire the Temple Guest bonds, amounting
to 100000 Marshall Field of Chicago,
the heaviest bondholder, has again ex-
tended the time to July 1, 1898 in which
to redeem the conditioned pledge, which
Is to give $4,000 providing $250, 900 is
raised by interested parties by the speci-
fed time. The sum of 100000 is secured,
and 1t Is probable that the rest is an
assured certainty. In her annual adj
vention, last November, Miss F. e.
Willard stated that members have not
paid 10 cents yearly (on an average)
towards the Temple fund. While 1t Is
true that the great majority of White
RibbonerS have contributed but little or
nothing, 1t Is equally true that many
have made contributions involving
large sacrifices.
The Temple is the only women's build
ing In the world, and stands unique and
pre-eminent in the hearts of the white
ribbon host, dedicated to the uplifting
Of humanity. Willard Hall, with its
holy associations, Is dear to their
hearts. Within its walls are held daily
noon meetings led by women wholly
consecrated to the redemption Of poor
humanity from the thraldom Of the
drink curse. Many of the most noted
men and women from all parts of the
civilized world have spoken from its
platform blessed words Of gospel tenn
perance truths. Around the walls of
Willard hall and corridor are marble
tablets upon which names Of contribut-
ors to the Temple fund are inscribed,
while many others are inscribed in
memory of dear ones gone before. Can
this sacred building into which so many
prayers, sacrifices and mother loves
have been built, pass ever beyond our
control?
There is one universal answer-No.

to strengthen the executive commit

constitutional absentees, who are
prevented from attending meetings
by circumstances not within their
convenient control. 1t is felt de-
sirable that as nearly as possible q

an important position.
