understood that there is no connection
whatever between the Sunday Observance
League and the Anti-Saloon League

different in object. The Sunday League
wants merely the observance of the Sun
day laws; the other . is a temperance
movement the object Of which is TO close
the saloons for good and all.

themselves in the movement to secure
some Improvement OF the condltlons at
the Virginia Penitentiary are much en-
couraged by the conversations they have
had with different members of the IeSlS-
lature. They are very confidently look
ing for ward to the success OF their
movement as they believe the Legislature
will give them a favorable hearing. The
issue is simpler this year and not
associated with other movements, which
fact. it is believed, largely increases its
chances of success.
