TOTAL ABSTINENCE"
Mrs. arinstead $ fsorcefui Lecture
in the n. e. Church.

Mrs. Minnie Johnson Grinstead, of
Larned, delivered u lecture in the in
terests of total abstinence in the
Methodist Episcopal church in this
place last Sunday evening to = large
and appreciative audience. For a
subject she took the broad one of
Opportunity" Upon this subject
she spoke forcefully and earnestly,
and quoted appropriately the remark
able sonnet written by the late John
j. ingalls,:

answer not, ana return no more!
Her remarks at times lacked the
serionaness which, to some of her
auditors, would have been more az.
propriate to. the OCCASION. but these
moments of levity were offset by the
earnestness and direotness which gen
orally characterized her address.
Mrs. Grinstead streuuously object.
ed to being called temperance
lecturer, and Insisted that her friends
should refer TO her ais a ''total absti-
hence lecturer. Pc many people
this may seem to be- making II tine
distinction between the terms "tem-
perancr" and total abstineace," but
TO one who compares the easy nature
or the former with the sterner suo-
gestiveness of the latter, the wisd ON
OF her choice is eldily apparent.
Taken as a whole. the arguments in
favor OF total abstinence were effect
lively presented to the audience, and
that they were we'll received is without
question.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Miners clearinghouse In Idaho
Burns-FOur Men Perish-TweIve
Others Are Injured.

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 26.-Four men
lost their lives and dozen others were
injured, three probably fatally, in a
fire of unknown origin which de-
stroyed the boarding and bunk houses
of the Standard mine at Mace, Idaho,
shortly after Monday midnight. The
dead are: j. w. Edwards, D. r. Mann,
Eugene Bangs and NJ. T. Moore. Fa-
tally injured: f. J. Arborough, E. Nc
Callum and John Bowbay.
Sixty men were asleep in the two
buildings when the fire was discovered
in the second floor of the boarding
house. The alarm was quickly given,
but the flames spread with such rapid
ity that all escape was cut off except
through the windows. Most of the in
iured were hurt while making their
escape in this manner, though several
were badly burned. 1t is supposed that
the men who lost their lives became
confused by the fire and smoke in the
Railways and were unable to find a
window. Their bodies have been re-
covered.

WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING,

Sleeves are exceedingly ornate be-
low the elbow, but tucks and cord
ings or occasional insertions appear
above, these kept closely shaped and
fitted.
Tea gowns of diaphanous materials
are now used in place of dinner
gowns Tin ones own home, of course)
by some women. This makes it nee
essary to have several with low
necks.
Waistcoats are of the fanciful
type and very few are perfectly plain.
Spotted panne with a pouched front
and the fastening arranged with tiny
straps of velvet and steel buttons is
chic in cloth gown, and so is a vest
composed of alternate stripes of
tucked silk and lace, with three lines
of bebe velvet drawn in and out.
Silk bingham and mercerized Ma
dras amount to the same thing. Both
are charming fabrics for morning
frocks when the mercury climbs high
in the tube. With the plain colors a
beautiful and distinguished effect
may be had. Pretty, too, are those
with white cord stripes; these come
in reseda, coral, castor and gray and
maize.
The flower hat leads all others. 1t
is made of roses, in shaded pink, in
toque shape and with only just
enough tulle showing underneath the
flowers to give them soft appear
ance-for flowers, be it known, are
sometimes a bit stiff and hard. The
tulle is either green, the color of the
leaves, rose pink, white or black, but
the green is the smartest.

FEELING IN GERMANY.
Manifestations of Pleasure Mt Recep-
ton of the Prince.

Berlin, Feb. 26.-All day long crowds
stared at the portraits of President
Roosevelt and Prince Henry which
hung side by side in front of a news
paper office on "Unter den Linden"
Part of the time this crowd was so
dense that the police had to clear the
way for traffic. Emperor William, who,
with the empress, drove by the news
paper office during the afternoon, no.
ticed the portraits and saluted small
American flag above them. Upon per-
ceiving this the assembled crowd ap-
plauded. The Germans are slowly
working up to animation over the re-
ception in the United States to Prince
Henry and are glowing with good feel
ing toward America. Newspapers that
never before received special cable
grams from the United States are now
publishing such messages. All the cor
respondents in the United States for
German newspapers agree upon the
warmth of the reception to Prince
Henry by President Roosevelt, by the
American officials, by the crowds and
by the newspapers
