The Impressive Lecture by Rev. j. Il.
Cross Wednesday Evening.
The illustrated temperance lecture bv
Rev. j. E. Cross under the auspices of the
W. G. T. U. Wednesday evening was a
good success, judging from the full house
and the appreciative audience. The open
ing scene was the ''happy home," about
the tea table father, mother and young son.
so full of hope and apparent happiness.
This scene was followed by succeeding
views as the lecture progressed, showing
the ''curtain lifted on the downward road3
of the son. The Thunberg sisters came
in with the song, "Where is my wandering
boy tonight" very impressively rendered
Other views were introduced as the lecture
advanced through the various steps down
ward of the son through the leaving home
the parting with mother, now the city
temptations, taking his first social glass.
now down through the crime which
brought him behind the prison bars. The
pathetic pleading of the little child was
portrayed very effectively by the song from
the Thunberg sisters. The lecturer took
us down through the descending stems of
the son till a drunkard's grave hid him
from view. These are only a few of the
pertinent points which were so very graphI
ically brought out by the lecture and line
80 pictures, most of them painted from
actual scenes. We hope to hear from Rev.
j. E. Cross upon this important subject
again in the near future.

The Nicaragua Canal BnI shelv.d.

The House settled the fate of the Near
aqua canal bill in this Congress by refus-
ing Wednesday TO override the decision of
the chair in committee of the whole when
the chair held that the canal bill offered as
an amendment to the sundry civil bill by
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep., Ia.) was out of order.
The friends of the Nicaragua canal bill
were very confident that they would tri-
umph, but after four hours of debate the
chair was sustained, l27 to 100. Mr.. Bal
ley, the Democratic leader, made an argu-
ment in favor of the view that the amend
ment was in order. MI. Grosvenor (Rep.
o. bore the brunt of the argument We'd
nesday in behalf of this contention.
Messrs. Moody rep, Mass) Dockery
Dem., MOI and Fleming (Dem., Ga.
were pitted against him. The debate
throughout the day was exceedingly spirit
ed, and in the end a majority of the mem.
bers refused to owe ride the House rules.
No record is made of the vote in commit
tee of the whole. Party lines were not
adhered to, the decision in favor of and in
opposition to sustaining the chairs decis
ion being about equal on both sides of the
political aisle.

"The routine work in the departments
is far beyond what is necessary, and each
year seems to increase it. The methods
employed make it almost impossible to
transact business promptly. The heads of
all departments, officers of large depots,
chiefs of staff departments, corps and di-
visions have necessarily been obliged to
give the time and attention to details
which should have been given to matters
of larger moment. No we'll regulated con-
Germ or corporation could transact business
satisfactorily under such regulations as
govern staff departments, and the fact
that every officer of each of the staff de-
partments holding a responsible position
has been obliged to ignore routine demon
strates the necessity of a thorough re-

LongfeIIow's Most Famous Lines

Longfellow's poems which most touch
the heart, are about children, and moth
ing can be more intensely pathetic than
these lines:
There IS no fireside. howso'er defended,
But has one vacant chear"
The vacant chair is always fraught
with saddest memories-sometime
with bitterest regret because of a young
life lost that might perhaps have been
saved. Is there not deep lesson in
this for parents? Children are frail
barks upon Lies stormy sea- They
are often delicate and sicken easily.
They should be cured at once, for neg
lect may be forever fatal. Parents who
have weak, nervous and sickly children
should consult the highest authority
in children's complaints, physician
who has made a speciality of treating
the chronic. nervous and lingering
complaints Of children, like DR.. Greene,
Of 35 West 14th St, New York City,
who, from treating so many of such
diseases, knows just what is the matter
and precisely what to do to effect a
cure. You can take your children 70
DR.. Greene's office and have consulta-
ton and advice. absolutely free Of
charge or write to the doctor about
the child's case and he will give you
the advice and counsel you need by
letter, without charge or fee. DR..
Greene's Nervura. the most famous
nerve and blood remedy In the world,
has alone been the means Of curing
large numbers of children. But this
grand remedy is only one Of the many
wonderful restorative and health-giv-
ing medicines DR.. Greene has discover
ed and prepared for various COM
plants. Or. Greene uses no poisonous
drugs in his treatment Of the sick, but
all hR marvellous curative remedies are
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less. If you have sick child. take our
advice and consult DR.. Greene about II
at once II you cannot call, write TO
the doctor fully and freely and you can
have mis- skilled advice and counsel
without cost.
