RECOMMENDATIONS,

Your executive committee begs leave to
| make the following recommendations
l. The best interests of the work de-
rand not only that you raise larger
sum OF money for the conduct Of this ex-
pa nding war. but also that the bulk of
the funds be gotten by private esubscrip-.
ton rather than by popular appeal It Is
not best to ask our speakers to turn
aside from the moral Interests OF the
league to beg for money with which to
carry on the work For the coming year
1t Is imperative that personal private con-
tributions be gained to the amount OF
s.. 900 II Is believed that the moneys
given In the popular meetings will be
enough TO supplement this sum. so as to
cover all the expenses Of the Anti-Saloon
League without worry or loss Of energy
on the part OF our officers In regard to
ways and means II will be impossible
for anyone not Identified with the man
agement OF the League to conceive OF e
Impulse that would be given to our work
by the securing of 5000 In personal SUBJ
scriptions for the next year. The execu-
tive committee wishes here to recognize
with lasting apprecia ton the willingness
Of the people to bear sacrifices In behalf
Of this cause. as has been evidenced In q
thousand ways during the past year.
What we desire and urge is a more equa.
BILE distribution Of the burdens OF the
work. together with more efficient
means OF gathering these funds Shall
there be raised personal subscription OF
5000 for the work OF the coming year?
Your answer TO that question will breathe
confidence or bring encouragement to all.
according to its tenor. 81
We recommend that the executive
committee be increased from eleven to
fifteen members
I'VE advise that The election OF all
ea1arted agents Of the League bs left to
the executive committee. AND likewise the
amount Of their compsnsa ton
I. We advise. aerordingly that no sals-
ried agents q the League b mszEhSrs OF

MILLIONS WILL BE
 LOST TO BUILDERS
LARGE INVESTORS OF CAPITAL IN BUILDING OPERATIONS, IT IS SAID, WILL CALL OFF WORK FOR 1904.

Pittsburg, September 5.-The Post to- morrow will say:
 According to well matured plans, not only of the great railroad corporations of the country. but of the larger investors of capital in building operations, there is likely to be a general cessation of build ing operations during 1904, which will make that year memorable to the trades interested. The statement of one of the largest contracting concerns in the coun- try connected with railroad construction work Is the basis for the assertion that at least s1SO0O0,OOO worth of building op- erations proposed for 1904 have actually been called off and plans have been re- called from architects and engineers
 Tt is also said by the same authorities as far as known there will be nothing In the shape of new work undertaken the coming year. and when the present con tracts are completed there will be a pe- riod of waiting for the general labor sit- uation to settle down."

 the Two Yachtsmen.

Hinrelchs of Brooklyn, who started out from the Brooklyn Yacht club in a 20-foot launch just before the storm of a week ago. The young men did not return and the swamped launch was found later off Sea Gate
 Sedden's body was identified by articles found on the clothing. What were at first taken to be bullet wounds on the body were later found to be laeerations caused probably by contact with rocks. The body of Hinreichs has not yet been recovered
