TOTAL ABSTINENCE WORK.
The United Catholic Societies Hold a
Meeting at St. Stephens.

There was an entertainment given by
the United Catholic Total Abstinence
Societies of Worcester, Sunday evening,
at st. Stephens Hail. This was the
fifth open meeting of the society, and
the large attendance was very crafty
ing to the members. The large number
present showed very plainly that the
people of St Stephens parish are great
ly interested in the efforts Of this club to
establish total abstinence standard in
this city.
The program of the entertainment was
as follows: Introduction, President E.
H. O'Brien; song, Edmund F. Hunt; re-
citation, Master George Naphen; song,
Frank Padula address, Rev. d. f. Nc
Gillicuddy: selection, ]. w. Dick, Jr s
Mandolin and Guitar Club; address, Rev.
p ]. Malone of Providence.
FIR. Malone, president Of the Provi-
dence Diocesan Union of Total Absti
nence Societies, in his address. spoke
strongly in favor of total abstinence.
He said, in the course of his remarks,
that moderate drinking is not sinful, but
that it is dangerous to drink at ALL and
still think TO keep control of our i'm
pulses; and that more young men have
been ruined by thinking that they could
limit themselves to moderate drinking,
than from any other cause. FIR. Ma
lone is an interesting and powerful
speaker, and his speech was warmly
received by the audience.
Rev. D. f. McGillicuddy spoke more
directly to the members of the society.
He said it was subject for congratula-
ton for the young men of the st.
Stephens Total Abstinence Society that
so many of their friends are so interest
ed in their work. There are necessary
evils in this world, 1t is true, but there
are unnecessary evils also. One of these
is intemperance. The man who works
every day and sets aside a portion of
his earnings when he comes home to his
f1reside should, in the quiet of his home,
bless God who gives him health and
strength to resist this evil. This great
evil of drunkenness is nothing if not
selfish. But this great work of temper
ance is an unselfish work for the good
OF our country, for our God and for the
good interests Of our citizenship.
Some men think that they can drink
a little and then let it alone. How fool
ish they arei There was an old gentle
man in city where L stopped for sew
eral years, who never worked, but who
drank a good deal. One day [ was
called upon to attend his boy, IA years
Old, who had been crushed in an ele-
Vator and was dying. / told the man
that he had caused his sons death, for
if he had been working man there
would have been no need of sending his
boy to work at that age.
FIR. McGillicuddy closed his address
BY eXfhorting all the young men present
to join the society. His speech was
loudly appiauded by his parishioners,

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Hawaiian Debate May be Resumed Post
Office Appropriation Bill.

Washington, March 13-There is no
program for the senate for the present
week. If Senator Bacon is prepared to
speak on the Hawaiian annexation
treaty, it will be taken up Immediately,
as indeed it will be if any senator is
prepared to go on with the debate.
1t is not expected, however, that there
will be much further discussion of this
subject in executive session, and it is
the intention of Senator Davis, chair
man of the senate committee on foreign
relations, at very early day. to move
to lay Senator BaconS plebiscite amend
ment upon the table. 1t is upon this mo-
tion that the managers Of the treaty
hope to secure a test vote, and Senator
Davis said today that he was hopeful
that this vote might be reached during
the present week. Senator Pettigrew Is
anxious, and expects to get his per
cent land bill before the senate early in
the week, and Senator Vest will make
an effort to secure consideration of the
quarantine bill. There is also a possi-
bility that the census bill may be press
ed for consideration. An entirely new
census bill probably will be offered pro-
viding for the immediate establishment
of the census machinery, instead of
making preliminary arrangements for it
as the bill first presented did The com-
mittee on appropriations is hopeful of
being able to report the sundry civil
bill during the week, and If it should
be successful, this measure will be
pressed upon the attention of the sem
ate to the exclusion Of everything else.
IN THE HOUSE.
Washington, March 13.-The program
of the house this week as mapped out
would be completely changed if
any move is made in connection with
the Spanish crisis involving legislative
action. But as at present arranged, it
includes simply the consideration of
the post office appropriation bill and
the Virginia contested election case of
Thorp VS.. Eppes, with the possibility
that the naval appropriation bill, which
will be reported on Monday or Tuesday,
might be reached at the tail end of the
week.
There will be a conflict for prece-
dence between the election case and the
post office bill. Chairman Walker of
the elections committee and Chairman
Loud Of the post office committee, are
each finally contesting for the right of
way. If Chairman Walker insists. the
contested election case, being a question
of the highest privilege, would take
precedence under the rules, but the
house by vote would give the post
Office bill precedence.
The democrats intend to contest the
election case bitterly, as upon the de-
cisjon in the case they believe will de-
pend the fate of the other two cases
from Virginia, another of which was re-
ported yesterday against the sitting
member. 1t is expected that the report
Of the committee will also be against
Mr.. Swanson from the Danville Va,
district.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
A Telegraph Lineman Loses His Watch
and Money to Newly Found Friend.


James Cotton, lineman in the en-
ploy of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, had an experience with a
stranger Saturday night as a result of
which Cotton lost S. and gold watch.
Cotton was standing at Harrington
corner when he was accosted by a
stranger, who after short conversa-
ton on various subjects asked Cotton
to accompany him to his room where
they could enjoy a social chat The un-
suspecting lineman went to the strang-
er's room in the old "Holly Tree Inn,"
2212 Pleasant street. where the two
smoked and chatted until a late hour,
when the host invited his guest to pass
the night with him as it was so late
Cotton agreed, and they retired. A
short time after the stranger made an
excuse to go out. Cotton became Isuspf-
cious as his host did not return, and
got up to see what time it was. He
discovered his watch and money were
missing He dressed and went to
Washington square, where in a lunch
cart he found his new friend. He spoke
to him and asked him what he meant
by taking his watch and money. The
fellow edged toward the door, at the
same time saying he thought there must
be some mistake, as he never met him.
Cotton followed the man outside, and
the fellow took to his heels.
A friend of Cotton, who was in the
lunch cart, said he noticed key the
fellow had in his pocket which bore a
Brunswick House tag. About this time
they met Officers Hurley and John
O'Connor and related their tale of
woe. The officers went to the Bruins
wick and found the name j. J. Jones
registered against the room, TO which
the key seen in the mans possession be-
longed. Jones was not in his room,
however, and did. not return during the
day Sunday.

THE MAINE ICE CROP.

Bangor, Me, March 13.-The Maine ice
crop for trade outside the state, and
which is put UP almost entirely on the
Penobscot and Kennebec rivers, is es-
timated at about $4,000 tons OF this
amount $4,000 tons belongs to the Ken
nebec regions, and 1856, 900 tons to the
Penobscot. The harvest on the Penob-
scot has just closed, and while not a
great quantity was housed, the ice is of
the very finest quality. Work began the
last week in January and continued up
to the last of this week. 1t has been an
expensive harvest for the operators,
owing to the frequent and heavy snow
storms, which made much scraping of
the fields necessary. A few of the Penob-
scot dealers did not harvest as much as
they intended, as long wait was re-
quired to get their ice fields properly
frozen

THINKS THERE Will BE WAR.

New York, March ia dispatch to
the Herald from San Francisco says:
Admiral kirkland, at Mare Island
navy yard, in response to the query if
war was likely, answered:
'It's hard telling. Spain and America
are lined up for battle now. 1t may come
at the drop of the hat. We can have war
If we want it, and Spain can have war
if she wants it, The smallest thing now
is likely to bring it about. Ny personal
opinion is-well, 1 don't see how we are
going to avoid it. It'll do us good, too,
though neither Spain nor the United
States is in a position to benefit ma
terially by war. But it'll teach us
Americans that we can't conquer the
world with our chins, and I'll tell you
one thing that this trouble with Spain
will teach us.
"When the United States realizes the
trouble she is put to in being unprepared
for war with a bankrupt country like
Spain, it'll give us some idea what we'd
have to do to get into condition for a
fight with France or England.
Spain is not afraid of us It will be
a lively scrap. And do you want to
know who would win? The one that
has the most torpedo boats.
IF could spend part of that $50, ,0O0,-
900 I'd invest it, not in battle ships, but
in monitors and torpedoes. The battle
ship is not what we want for the kind
Of service the United States requires.
I'VE could get two monitors for what
one great battleship would cost us. And
we could be in two places at once and
be twice as effective as with one bat
tleship. I'd have not two or two dozen
torpedo boats, but have 200.
''If the government had spent this
$50, 100000 ten years ago, our coasts to-
day would be fully protected. And that
is what we want to be sure of. Then
we can tackle any nation on the globe.
It's torpedo boats we want--a cloud of
them. If we Highland do not see how
it's going to be avoided-the nation with
the most torpedo boats is going to win"
