CALL FOR A MASS CONVENTION.
By the Young Peoples Christian

Realizing the nec6 ssity of organic
ing the Christian Young People Ct our
country against the legalized liquor
traffic is proof of the tremendous war
that must be fought before our coun-
try is free. The voice of God and the
American flag are calling for volun-
teers.
The time seems ripe when the cul-
tivated ability of women should COM
bine with the power of the ballot in
hands of the men that they, as COM
mon brothers and sisters, enlist as SOL
diers for God and his sacred war to
save men and women their manhood
and womanbood that they, to save the
home and the nation against the sa-
loon, shonld stand shoulder to shout.
der in this great battle to dethrone
the arch enemy of humanity and the
dissertation of our flag of liberty.
With this end in view, Young PEG.
pies Christian Temperance Unions
are being organized throughout the
country. Frances Willard said to the
young people, "Thank God for the
fresh young lives coming to the res
cue" and as one of the greatest tenn
persnce leaders in the world it would
seem that no greater tribute could be
paid to the memory of her who APP
preciated these lives, fresh with the
vigor of youth and warm with its en-
thusissm, than to have them to bring
into life on her birthday a national or
ganization to welcome the Twentieth
Century.
Hence cordial invitation is extend

STRIKE DECLARED OFF.
Advance of Five Per Cent in
Wages at the New Albany
Steam Forge Works.

The str sNe among the mon en-
ployed in the steam forge works at
New Albsny-thirty six in number
that has been on since Tuesday morn
ing, has been declared off and the
men will resume work this morning.
The men are to receive an advance of
five per cent. in their wages with a
promise of further increase, and all
concerned are satisfied. Durin. the
two days of the strike the men acted
in an orderly manner and no i'll feel
ings were engendered on either side .
The men demsn led raise OF 10 pc
cent, and they claimed that the ad-
vance was due them from the fact
that the company was getting largely
increased prices for the product oil
the works. They were offered q
10 per cent. advance last week before
they went out on the strike.

Croker on Bryan.

Those Of the opposition who have
been rejoicing over the mistaken idea
that the regular Democratic organi-
cation OF New York was opposed to
William j. Bryan and prepared to
organize a split in the party, are
mourning over the downfall of their
hope
Richard Croker, the chief OF Tam
many Hall, has Just returned from
Europe and his first political utterance
has been an unrestricted eulogy of
William j. Bryan. With truth and
yigor, Mr.. Croker said:
"Mr. Bryan's great strength lies in
his sympathy for and knowledge of
the plain people. No other American
has ever been 80 close to the masses.
He understands and feels for the toiler
understands and trusts him. con-
slider him to be one of the greatest
men America has ever produced"
Nothing could be more accurate
than that statement. The neople be-
Flieve in Bryan. They understand his
language, they know that he is loyal
to their interests, they admire his
genius and on the other hand Bryan
understands the people.
Under the most difficult conditions
Bryan polled 100000 votes at the
last presidential election. He will do
better than this in 1900.
With New York in line and with
the blunders OF the Republican adj
ministratlon before the people VIM. j.
Bryan can be elected president next
year. Croker asserts this and Croker
is wise and fsr-seeing political
leader.
All that is needed for Democratic
success in 1900 is a united democracy.
The allegiance of the New York or
gsnization will make the work of
hsrmonizing differences comparatively
easy and victory will be the result of
united and vigorous acknowledging
Democrat.

1eering children who cried, See, these
people have no goitres,' as if to be with

Similarly, the prevalence of irregular
periods among young women, and the
commonness of facilitating drains
among married women have created
the mischievous idea that these are the
natural conditions of womanhood.

be regular and painless and there should
be neither drains nor pains for the mar
