The most important idea bearing on
the temperance question, in my judg-
ment, is that the church should take
this cause on it's purse, as we'll as on
it's heart. The church is already as
fully committed to the great moral
struggle for the determination of the
liquor traffic as resolutions can CON-
nit it. But who has a word to say
about the resources necessary for this
great .battle-the ''sinews of war?'
The temperance cause is the orphan Of
the church. Every o'her cause, such
as Missions, Church Extension, Edu-
cation, Orphans Homes, etc., has it's
agents in the field. and societies at
work to raise funds for it's support.
But the temperance cause is expected
to live on nothing-and that, too,
when it is arrayed against the most
powerful financial interest in the
world. The workers see the needs of
the cause-they see how money could
be used in many ways to quicken pub
lie sentiment and arouse the con-
science Of the nation. But the church
generally has not realized this, and
hence say, with full conviction, that
the next most important step in the
progress of this reform is for the
Christian conscience Of our nation to
place this interest in the category OF
| those towards which the liberal must
be liberal aud for which the poor must
sacrifice.

WANT RESIDENT LABOR.
Its Advocates Believe Their Prayers vii
ee Granted by Mayor Dodge.

The Building Trades Council held its
regular weekly meeting last evening at
labor headquarters, "a Southbridge
street. Delegates were admitted from
the Painters and Decorators Union. A
report of the committee recently ap-
pointed in connection with this mat
ter stated that the new buttons would
be ready for the members in about a
week.
An interesting report was heard from
the committee appointed at a meeting
of the council a few weeks ago to look
into the matter of city contracts. The
committee reported that a conference
had been held with Mayor Dodge and
other city officials, and that there were
prospects of changes beng made TO
suit the ideas of the laboring people.
The idea of the labor unions is that
on certain branches Of city work there
are violations of the contracts as made
at the opening of the year. One thing
that the men do want is to have the
labor which is done under contract,
done by men who are residents of
Worcester and not non-residents
Members of the Building Trades Coun-
ell are confident that the things they
ask for will be granted, as Mayor
Dodge promised to see that the mat
ter was looked into, and that changes
would be made in those places where
there were defects.

DRAWN BY PONY.
Enterprising Italian Piano
Man and His Scheme.

An interesting departure in the line of
the piano business was to be seen for
a short time on the streets of Worces-
ter yesterday afternoon. Shortly after
2 o'clock one of the ordinary pianos
was passed up Main street, and crowd
of fully 100 followed on behind. The
piano was drawn through the streets by
a Shetland pony This is why the peo-
pie were so interested.
In front of The Spy Office stop was
made and the man and woman with
the outfit proceeded to grind out the
music in the machine to the crowd.
The tunes played were new ones, too,
and the woman who went around the
crowd at the close of the playing, sue
ceeded in gathering quite q little sum.
The outfit consisted Of a street piano
on wheels, equipped, however with
more up-to-date music than is usually
found in these machines, and with a
greater variety of tunes The feature
of the thing was that the piano was
drawn by a Shetland pony.
The pony was not different from the
ponies to be found with many travel
ing combinations, but it was the pony
more than the music which draws in
the money. The animal is nine years
old, and was purchased by the owner
in Boston for the special trip which
brought the little party through Wor
cester.
Near the front of the piano arrange
ment there was d seat wide enough for
the people, and while the man and his
wife are travelling across the country
they ride.
The man, who is a resident of the
Italian district in Boston says that
they intend to cover the country as
fast as possible, and they expect to be
several miles nearer Chicago by the
time snow flies The financial results
of such a scheme are more gratifying
than under the old plan of doing bust
ness, and the man says that he would
not do without the pony arrangement
under any circumstances.
The mans wife is a pretty little Wom-
an, and the whole outfit shows the
couple is moi 10 be claSsed with the or
binary list of street piano people. They
talk plainly and seem TO be very nicely
equipped with American ideas. At
night, according to their story. they
live in good quarters.
Running a street piano the man
says, is not degrading business, and it
is a money making enterprise if people
want to run it on principles of business
Good financial results are always made,
and the man says that he can make as
much this way as many of the work
ing people do i'm the shops.
This morning The wagon was driven
in from Westboro. and from Worcester
they intend to so to Spencer
