GOOD TEMPERANCE TALK.

Captain Dutton continues to draw
good audiences at his temperance meet
ings on East Park avenue which have
been in progress for more than a week
past.
The subject of his talk last night was
The Saloon as the Enemy of Labor"
During the course Of his remarks he
took particular pains to call attention to
the fact that merchants and others who
employ help do not want men in their
service who are drunkards 1T is only
those" he said who are sober and in
dustrious and leave drink alone that
hold their positions any length of time
The drunkards are sure to be discharged
sooner or later"
Silly headed girls are the only ones
the captain continued II have seen in
all my travels who want drunkards.
IT man won't stop drinking before
marriage he won't do it afterwards.
Suppose our girls were to chew and
drink and sing vulgar songs? Would
the respectable young man go with
them? No. Yet these silly headed girls
will invite such men to their homes."
Captain Dutton admonished his CIR,
hearers to leave this class alone and not
marry them.

San Francisco, March 20.-The inten-

Neloped the fact that the company has
the promise of the Mexican government
