RECEPTION TO WOOLLEY
w. c. T. u. Ladies Entertained
the Great Temperance Orator
Yesterday.

Hon. John G. Woolley, Prohibition
candidate for the presidency in 1900
and a temperance orator of much force
and personal magnetism, arrived in this
city yesterday, having been brought
here by the Prohibition county conf
mittee.
He was rendered reception in
Guernsey hall in the afternoon. be-
tween the hours of 8 and o'clock. by
the central city branch of the Women's
Christian Temperance union. Temper
ance workers from all parts of the
county attended, and most delightful
hour was spent.
Mrs. Downing, president of the
branch, presided and introduced Mr..
Woolley, after the singing of several
inspiring temperance songs by the Pro-
hibition Glee club, under the leadership
of Conner Reese.
Mr.. Woolley has just returned from
New Zealand, where he has assisted in
the campaign for the total abolition of
the liquor traffic. The question, "Shall
the saloon be abolished?" is to be put to
a popular vote very shortly. Mr.. Wool
ley said, and as there is universal suf-
frage in New Zealand, he expressed the
belief that prohibition will win out. If
woman suffrage existed in this coun-
try, he said, the mission of the Wom-
EMS Christian Temperance union would
lie in the political field, but as it does
not, the unions work is to educate
and elevate"
Mr.. Woolley said that if the women
of America are ever given the oppor-
tunity to vote, prohibition will win out
Prohibition will finally win out in this
country, anyway" said he. II cannot
say when, but the day will come when
the liquor traffic will be abolished. 1t
is not for us to ask when this time will
come, but to work with will to bring
1t about"
Attorney Il. d. Nichols. of Wilkes
Barre, a well-known temperance advo-
cate, spoke along similar lines, and fol-
lowing the addresses there was a gen.
eral interchange of greetings.
A committee was appointed at yes
terday's meeting to arrange a pro-
gramme for the county convention to
be held in Dunmore early in March,
The exact date and church in which
the convention will be held have not
yet been decided upon.

OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT.
Favorable Reports from ALI Parts
of the City at Last Nights
Meeting.

In Republican headquarters on Wash
ingtonp avenue, last night there was a
general meeting of the executive and
general city committees, which are in
charge of the present Republican city
campaign. 1t was the most enthusias-
tic meeting held since the campaign
opened, and the reports from the diff
ferent wards made by the committee
men showed that Evan r. Morris is al
most certain OF election next Tuesday.
Attorney w. S. Diehl, in reporting for
the Seventeenth ward, said that Co.'S
tello carried the city last fall by S46
votes, but the conditions are much diff
ferent now and that every indication
points to the election of Morris for
controller by majority that will run
as high as 1900.
After the reports We're all in, Chair
man Chittenden said that when the
campaign first opened he was afraid
there was not much chance for the
election Of Candidate Morris but con-
dltions have grown brighter and
brighter with each succeeding day, and
he is now confident that Il victory on
TUESDAY next is Il certainty
There was some comment lover the
condition of affairs in the Sixteenth
ward, where the Democratic candidate
for select council is unopposed, but an
independent Democrat is in the field
against the Republican candidate for
common council. who was also to be
unopposed. 1t was the belief of those
present that some good Republican
ought to be picked out and run on
stickers for select council and every
effort made to elect him.
Short impromptu addresses were
made by Attorney NJ. w. Lowry, b. T.
Jayne, Attorney w. S. Diehl, w. B.
Christmas, Rowland Thomas, Hon.
John II. Fellows. Attorney II. S AL
worth and Hon. James Moir.

mittee will be held Saturday night

Joseph Foln, of 403 Penn avenue, was
instantly killed yesterday morning at
Avoca by Jersey Central passenger
train, while on his way from Wilkes
Barre to this city, where he had been
summoned by the death OF his mother,
Mrs. John Foin.
The young man had been in Wilkes
Barre, and left for this city yesterday
morning. The facts regarding the man
ner in which he met his death are not
clearly known, but it Is understood that
he alighted from the train for a moment
and was struck by passenger train
going in the opposite direction. His

He was identified by the telegram an
nouncing his mothers death, which
was found in his pocket. The remains

the same time, though the time has not
been fixed as yet.

The Enormous Growth of Life Insur.
nnce

The Enormous Growth of Life Insur-
ance.
Nothing is more calculated to give
one an idea of the stupendous growth
of life insurance in the United states
than the record of The Prudential 1n-
surance company whose annual state
ment is just published in this paper
We find that this company has been
only twenty-six years In existence and
had in 1876 assets amounting to $2,23S.
To-day, its assets amount to $iS000,000
the amount 1t has paid to It's policy
holders during its twenty-six years of
existence is over sos 000,00O while the
number of families enjoying it's protec-
tion Is estimated at more than one
million.
These results indicate the extraordi-
nary popularity of The Prudential, a
popularity which owes It's origin to the
fact that The Prudential was the first
company to meet the wants of the in
dustrial classes in regard to life insur.
ance, and also was the first to estab-
lish a system of quick settlement of
claims
The Prudential management and also
the Prudential policy-holders are to be
every year brings to their gigantic
enterprise; q success which is as graft
flying to the nation at large as it is to
the pioneers of such a useful institu-
tion. ~

Unknown Man Killed at Moscow.

An unknown man was killed at $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning while walk
ing on the Lackawanna railroad tracks
on the curve just east of the Moscow
station. The stranger was plodding
along eastward on the westbound
track, and did not heed the signal Civ
en- from the engine attached to train
No 43.
The body was struck and hurled q
considerable distance. The remains
We're afterwards gathered together and
placed in charge of the station agent
at Moscow, where they await identifi-
cation.
There was nothing on the mans per-
son by which he could be identified. He
is supposed to have been a tramp, as
his clothes showed evidence of hard
ship.

SOUSA'S BAND.

with the prestige OF British sue.
cess that surpasses the triumphs
of INV other visiting conductor and
with the knowledge that his music
flood tide oil popularity at home and
abroad is back again on his ma
tive health. engaged upon another
tour with his great band, just as
though playing before crowned
heads was an ordinary incident in
his career.
Inc American musician must
cross the water TO have received
such tribute as lie following from
the pen Of the critic oi the conserv-
ative 81. James Gazctte:,
"We may say at once that such
playing by a band consisting Of
wood, wind and brass alone with
out doubt, never been heard in
this country before. Mr.. Sousa is
evidently musician o! rare refine
ment and instinct, with az appreci-
alton for and gilt of rhythm which
fairly amounts TO genius. Much OF
the music performed was oil the light
est description, yet we cannot pay
Mr.. Sousa higher compliment
tnan to say that ones purely critl'
cal.muslcal faculty was entirely
carried away by the extraordinary
eutrain and nerve Of the nterpre
tolions.'
We knew his music Of course, be-
lore we knew the Composer, and
that was, perhaps, a mistake, for
the two ought to be known together.
To hear Mr.. Sousa play his own
music is to be converted. 1t seems
TO be positively butbIipg over with
restless emery, and to possess an
unsuitable craving for marches. Re
garded from the musicians point
OF view it is remarkabl lor the fine
tone, the perfect balance OF the
parts. and the almost machine-like
precision with which it plays"
This is 'assuredly high praise,
but every one who has ever come
within the magic sway of Sousas S
batcn will agree that it is equally
deserved. Sousa comes here short
ly with the same band and the
same soloists as recently played be-
fore the King Of England. and his
concert will be given at the Grand
Opera House on Saturday night.
