pointed proudly to the growth of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union in the
last year, with Its addition of Is 600 wo-
men TO the roster, and the reports from
the various officers concerning the new
territory invaded and the unparalleled
work accomplished.

Miss Willard, in the nature Of nemo-

Statuary Hall, as conceived by the Wo-

of the organization that the best posi-
BILE monument would be the furtherance
of the work 10 which, her life had been
devoted was commented upon by the
speaker.
Alcohol said Mrs. Ellis, has been
attacked in the sick room. Many have
said that this was the last trench from
which the use of alcohol could be dis
lodged. And yet it is true that more ply
sicians than ever before are studying the
results of non alcoholic treatment.
"It has been attacked in prohibition

as you all know. Already LOCO men have
championed the cause of Mrs. Nation since
she has declared that the saloon must

hand satchel, containing cash and
jewelry valued at 5000, said to have been
stolen Saturday night from the roolE: OF
Mrs. Mary Crosby, who keeps the Harris
House, sos Z Street northwest, was found
in the hallway adjoining her door early
yesterday morning. No other clue TO the
thief has been discovered.
Mrs. Crosby and her daughter, Mrs.
WALTON. the latter an actress, went to the
theatre Saturday night, leaving the in
FAINT of Mrs. Walton in the room occupied
by the grandmother. Mrs. Crosby re-
turned home early from the playhouse.
but did not at once go to her room. After
removing her wraps in her daughters
room, Mrs. Crosby was passing through
the hallway on the second floor, when she
heard the infant crying. and went to her
room. About the bureau in one corner
everything was confusion, and hasty
examination revealed the fact that a rob-
berry had been committed. Mrs. Crosby
sent a servant at once for Mrs. Wal on.
Meanwhile word had been sent to head
quarters, and Detectives Muller and Eaur
went to the house. They examined sew
eral of the many boarders in the house,
and were told by Mrs. Walton that she
had seen a man peering into her room
just before she started for the theatre.
Mrs. Walton says she paid no attention
to the intruder, as he left the house in
very few minutes. The detectives made
an examination of the surroundings in
the room belonging to Mrs. Crosby, and
found a gold watch in one of the bureau
drawers, thought TO have been overlooked
by the thief. The articles taken, which
were yesterday returned intact, are a
gold chain, three diamond rings, a dia-
mond pin, and about $40 in money.
The residence of Mrs. Edith G. Mish,
1888 New Hampshire Avenue northwest,
was also robbed Saturday night. A
stranger called, and represented himself
as an employee of the Electric Light Com
pany. During his brief stay in the house
the imposter managed TO steal cash and
jewelry worth $500. Detectives Helan
and McNamee are at work on this case.
The method employed by the stranger
was as unique as it was successful He
went to the house early in the night and
told Mrs. Mish that he had been sent
from the Electric Light Company to ex-
anime and repair certain wires connected
with the lights in the building.
He was given free access to various
rooms, and after tinkering about numer-
Gus wires he left, and with him disap-
peared a purse containing SIS in cash, be-
sides a diamond bracelet worth 500.
diamond pin worth $50, diamond rib
bon pin worth $40, and other jewelry.
About an hour after the stranger had
departed Mrs. Mish had occasion to go to
her bureau and she Immediately discov-
cred the robbery. \ report was sent to
the police at once and Detectives Helan
and NcNamee called at the residence TO
investigate. No clew TO the thief beyond
his description is yet known.

ORIGIN OF THE ". c. T. j.
The Great Crusade of 1873 an Ex-
ample for Mrs. Nation.
A Time When Ohio Women Invaded
and Held Prayer Meetings in the
safoons-The Hatchet Not Used
Permanent Organization the u
innate Result of the Agitation.

Mrs. Carrie Nations aggressive and
unique methods of warfare against the
Kansas saloons and the varied comment
of press and public aroused by her actions
remind many persons of the sensation
caused by the crusade against the liquor
traffic years ago which resulted in the
formation Of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union This crusade, which
stands as a beacon light in the history Of
the W. C. T L., was inaugurated in 1873
in Ohio, by bands of women who invaded
saloons and held prayer meetings. Al
though there is nothing on record TO show
that any OF the crusaders had Amazonian
tendencies and adopted the Ratchet as
weapon Of offence the agitation was at the
time regarded as radical in the extreme,
and all sorts of epithets were heaped upon
the heads Of the crusaders.
The crusade was the outcome of pray
er meeting held by little band OF women
in Hillsboro, Ohio. In fifty days the agi-
tation had gained such force that the
saloons OF two hundred and fifty towns
and villages were compelled to close their
powerful sentiment awakened against
them The cause of temperance gained
such strength that in order TO effect a
permanent organization for the extension
of temperance work the W. c. T. L. was
organized in Cleveland, Ohio, on No
vember is, 10, and 20, 1874. The first
president was Mrs. Annie Wittemyer, Of
Philadelphia, and Frances E. Willard,
then a teacher in a western New York
college was elected secretary.
In 1873 the little town OF Hillsboro was
literally infested with saloons. They were
legally conducted, but the spirit of mod
Grafton and abstinence appeared to be
dead. The people of the village became
greatly alarmed at the devastating effect
of the saloons on the morality of the com
munity, but at first no action was taken
10 remedy the evil.
Then DR.. Dio Lewis a prominent tenn
perance orator of Boston, came to Hills
boro. and delivered a stirring temperance
address TO church full OF people. His
words aroused the greatest enthusiasm,
and one morning, two days later, a meet
Ing was held in a church of the village.
The person foremost in agitating a re-
form was Mrs. Eliza ]. Thompson the
wife of Judge and daughter of ex-
Governor Trimble, of Ohio. She was es-
pecially embittered toward the saloons
because the career Of her son, brilliant
young clergyman, was ruined by the use
OF alcohol. She is still living in Hills
boro, and since the crusade has been a
prominent member OF the W. C. T. U. of
Ohio.
After exhortation and prayer the
women who attended the meeting dis
cussed the situation, and decided that the
only way TO bring about a much desired
change was to make direct appeal to
the saloonkeepers in the hope that they
might see the error of their ways.
So the little party. singing hymn,
