A Tendency Toward SObrietY.

The growth OF sobriety among the
working classes is one of the most pr ON
ising features of the social conditions OF

immense development in the response
biities of daily life Never were intoxi-
eating liquors and paralyzlng drugs
more in reach of the people, but their
excessive use is confined TO very few
The man who is known to be addicted
to them SOON falls into disrepute, and,
being unable TO secure employment in
any important capacity, he must in a
short time degenerate into the class of
incorrigibles, and cease TO have any
recognition among decent people There
can be no doubt that the use of
powerful and dangerous physical forces
in the ordinary operations of life will
constantly increase, and the need of
sober, reliable, and competent men be-
come so u gent that no man of irregular

South into one great clrporation-the
Southern Railway Company the
management of the banking house OF j..
p. Morgan a. Co., and the consequent
presidency of Mr.. Samuel Spencer, this
trunk system has taken its place as one
of the greatest of this country. The re-
markable industrial and material deyel-
opment of the South, together with the
developed comforts of a winter sojourn
there, have given to it an enormous pas
senger traffic, which year by year in
creases. To meet the demands and to
further the convenience of the public,
the company has recently establish
ed an uptown Office at No. llS5
Broadway, where the General Eastern
Passenger Agent, Mr. A. s. Thweatt, is
located The Office has been handsomely
and luxuriously fitted up with every ac-
co mediation for the patrons of the road
in the transaction of business, purchase
of tickets, securing of berths, etc. These
tickets may be procured to Cuba, Mex
leo, California, or any other point IN the
great South and " est. To an old timer
of thirty years ago, recalling the discom-
forts OF trip through the Southern
States, the up-to-date luxury of travel
over the Southern Railway and its con-

A Plantation Hymn.

Far down the west still glows the light,
Though elsewhere it is night
The fields are quiet as the stars,
Save some one at the bars nts
Whose full heart, quiv'ring to the brirn,
Flows over in hymn.
1t sends its strangely solemn tide
Of Hallelujahs, wide
Across the fields, and up as far
As to the farthest star, @& @
Till all the Southern nights in bloom
With Song and Star-so gloom
And Fancy hears the Advent roll
Through that old negro's soul!

A NOVEL CONTEST.
Y. M. C. A. Starts Crusade to Secure
Large Number of Members
for the New Association.
REDS OR BLUES WILL BANQUET.
New Members are Divided Into Two Sec
lions and an Effort will be Made to
Raise the Debt of the Association

A novel contest was started Monday
| night in the Y. M. c. A. by the young
men who are organizing a 400 club.
The plan of this 400 club is to divide
the new members into two sides, to be
called the Reds and the Blues, and
the two sides, under the leadership of
Mr.. Albert Bounsa11 and Mr.. Herbert
Coshun, will endeavor to secure inside
the next two weeks total membership
of 400. Each side will try to Guido the
other side, and the one that secures the
largest number of members or contri-
buttons will be given a banquet by the
defeated side.
The result of this contest by the 400
club will be the securing of enough
members to put the new organization
on a solid basis, and also relieve the
building from all Indebtedness. The
merchants and manufacturers of ke-
nosha have already contributed S19, oOO
to the building, but in the construction
alterations and additions have COM
PEELED a considerable additional
amount of expense, which, under the
original contract with the subscribers,
must be paid before the building can
be used by members. The board of
directors is now making vigorous
canvass to securessat least ST. 900 OF the
amount needed. The young men are
cooperating with the hoard III that
they are endeavoring to get 400 men to
take out membership tickets at $1O
each, and of this amount SIS will be de-
voted to the building fund and the
other SIS pay for the first years MEM
bership fee. In the contest every rs
received, whether from memberships
or contributions, will count point on
the side securing it.
The returns of the contest will be
put on bulletins made in the form of
large thermometers, and exhibited In
the windows of the building. The
office will be open each evening from
to 9 o'clock, where membership appll-
cations can be secured and returns
from the contesting sides made.
The mem bers of,the contesting sides
and those favofing them will wear
either the red or blue ribbon, which
will be ready for distribution tonight
at the building. The contest promises
to be decidedly interesting from the
start, and the finish on Saturday night,
Dec. 9Th, will be the climax of the week
of dedication.

manufacture of thread, and cotton
goods, and fabrics in silk will become
ere long an established fact. May it's
halls and churches, it's schools and
colleges, it's art institutions, hospitals
and libraries become the peers of that
beautiful and busy city which has wit
messed the transformations of half a

Let Dowie and his lace makers re-
ceive hearty welcome. The extern
sion of Zion with it's miles of thread
and bales of lace, and numerous fac
tories humming with splendid pur-
poses of achievement will broaden

Michigan, and help expand Kenosha
