In this work he was associated with
Ira D. Sankey, a singer whose name
and fame soon became inseparably
linked with those of the great religious
orator. The success of the pair soon
became so marked that they extended
their activities beyond the field afford

several tours of the United States.
Moody's success in England has been
equally marked
The advance of years has brought no

Moodys works, although he has de-

these institutions will thrive many
years as fitting monuments to their

GOLF in FLORIDA.

Game There.
Cornelius D. Cronin, professional
golfer, who was instructor of the
Grafton Country club for nearly a
year, contemplates a trip to Florida to
spend the winter He has had offers
from golfng clubs in that state, and
may decide to accept. He has also
been asked to submit terms for the po-
sition of instructor of several prom
inent clubs in this state.
Mr. Cronin has shown himself one
of the best players that ever appeared
in this section. His friends recently
tried to make a match with Gilbert
Tatnuck Country club links, the match
to take place at Franklin park links,
Boston. Mr.. Cronin was on hand, but
the match was not made, as Mr..
Nichols was not present.
Mr.. Cronin went over the course and
showed his ability with the clubs by
making the round in AZ strokes. The
best average scores on the course are
about At strokes. The prettiest piece
of work was on the fourth hole, where
he beat the DOGGY by two strokes. The
DOGGY for the hole was five strokes.
Mr.. Cronin made it in three, making a
remarkably fine put from the edge of
the green on the third stroke. Since
then he has slightly injured his right
arm and will not play for few weeks,
as the muscles are strained.

Charitable Societies Not to Join Police

There will be no attempt at combining
the forces of the City Missionary So

Thanksgiving distribution of dinners
this year. Last year an effort was
made to bring about a conference be-
tween the police, the Associated Chart
ties, the City Missionary society and the
st. Vincent de Paul society," but it re-
suited only in misunderstanding and a
distortion of facts, and it has not been
repeated
The police department will go it's way.
the other societies theirs. AS for the
City Missionary society, it will carry
on its Thanksgiving benevolence chief
ly through the churches, and in a very
quiet way
Some dissatisfaction was expressed
last year at the manner in which the
distribution was made, because 1t has
been felt that in the nature of things
the police could not have as good
knowledge of the people who needed
and deserved Thanksgiving dinners as
some other people have-notably, those
organizations that make it their bust
ness to know the poor, and have deal
ings with them in a friendly way all the
year around.

report of the advisory. committee APP
pointed by him "To examine into the OPP
GRAFTON of the laws relating to the punish
ment of drunkenness, in their relation
financially, socially and morally to the
city of Boston,"
The report holds that the short term
imprisonment is without deterrent or ex-
emplary value as a restraining lesson to
others. For years thousands of men and
women have been made an example of, ;"
the report continues, and their number
diminishes not.
The committee finds in short that the
present system of dealing with drunken
ness is indefensible.
