New York, August 81. In sermon
at the church of the Epiphany on THE

Dean Richmond has made an appeal

as corrective to the abuses OF fashion
in various circles of society, AMI criti-

he said, "that we of the clergy must
preach clearly, pointedly, as forcefully
as possible, to the sins and follies of
the times, dwell less ON the exodus of
the Israeltes from Egypt and more on
che exodus of Christian virtues from
American life.
Each one of us is the keeper of Chris
tian morals and public opinion to the
extent of our social abilities and in
tiuence in it is just as necessary for
each of us to carry out reforms IN
ourselves and neighbors, If possible as
it would be to reform the entire ma

selfish, wasteful indecorous, baleful

their moral standard reprehensible at

them. Delegations from adjoining counties composed of prominent Democrats, occupied seats in the bal cony and dress circle. Col. Murphy reviewed Gov. Davis' official career from the time he entered the attor- ney- generals office four year ago up to the present time, laying particular stress upon his conduct as governor. He charged the governor with cor ruption in office and specified mum Der of acts where the governor had misappropriated funds entrusted to his care by the State. He read from the records in the auditors office showing that the governor had used
 large portion of his contingent fund for private purposes and referred to the fact that the ways and means committee had discovered the same irregularities and would so report to the house. He closed with a strong appeal to the legislature to make a thorough investigation and if what he said was not true to impeach him (Murphy) and if what he did say was true to impeach Gov. Davis. The speech made strong impression up on every one in the large audience and talk of impeachment proceedings
 can be heard on all sides tonight.

LICENSE CONTEST
BEFORE COURT.

County court was convened Satur day morning for the consideration of the petition for the revocation of the prohibition order of 1901 the matter at issue involved the accuracy of the census of the prohibitionists, upon which evidence, that side seeks to have added to the census of the Newport school three mile district about TOO names.
 Among the witnesses examined were 0. R. Hite, Gary Davidson and Will Erwin, who testified as to the qualifications of contested names.
 The license attorneys introduced map, made from survey by H. G. McBurney, showing that a circle de- scribed from the Newport public school building with a radius of three miles, would include only the mere edge of Jacksonport, not extending to the main avenue of that town on which the court house is situated, al- so eliminating considerable territo ry across the river west.
 The license advocates claim this would drop 150 names from the prohi census, and contest the qualifications of 250 others, or over 400 in all.
 Two years ago the petition granted for the prohibition of license was from the three mile district of the Methodist church.

CLOVER CLUB MEETING.

The meeting of the Clover Club at the home of Mrs. Narcie Minor upon Thursday afternoon was too pleasant an affair to escape mention though inadvertently neglected in Fridays issue. The refreshments served upon that occasion were very dainty, con sisting of ice cream, cake, coffee and cheese straws.
 The resignation of Mrs. Cora Me Donald, who has long been one of the most popular members of that organ ization, was rendered and accepted with much regret. To the vacancy thus created, Mrs. H. E. Cobb was elected.
 Those present aside from club mem- bers were Mesdames o. D. Watson, L. Minor, H. E. Cobb and B. M. Grow.

ARKANSAS RAILROAD
 EXTENSION.

Tn short time another Arkansas outlet. It is the Jonesboro, Lake City & Eastern road, in operation from Jonesboro, east to Blythesville, and under construction from Blythesville east to Garfield, on the river. The road, both the completed and uncom- pleted sections, lies entirely in Craig head and Mississippi counties. The completed line to Blythesville is ap- proximately 55 miles i'm length, while the section under construction is about ten miles long.
 Part of the town of Garfield is on the west side of the levee, while a portion of it is between the levee and the river.
 Tn order to cross the river, the rail- road will be built over the top of the levee, no roads being allowed to cut through the levees. In order to sur mount the levee embankment, the track approaching Garfield will be on a 1 per cent grade. From the point of crossing the levee to Barfield point, where the boat landing will be made, and where the railroad track will end, is about one mile. A direct line to the nearest point on the river is only about half mile This mile approach will make the levee grade for the rail- road comparatively easy.

Davis, on one side, and the ma jority members of tLe state penitenti- ary board on the other. The resolu- tion recites that the controversy has re ached a stage demanding proper investigation. By the resolution the committee is invested with full and complete authority to take testimony and to report to the house. An interesting debate preceded the adoption of the resolution. Represen- tative Pindall had offered a resolution providing for an investigation at the hands of special committee of five members. This was tabled by a vote of 45 to AZ A short time later Judge Merriman offered the same resolu- ton, with the exception that the in vestigation shall be made by the ways and means committee in lieu of by a special committee. An effort to post pone consideration of the matter until Monday, was defeated, then the reso- lution as offered by Judge Merriman was adopted.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

THE Astoria Chamber OF Commerce
was organized for the promotion of one
thing only, namely. the advancement of
the business interests of all classes of
people resident in the city and vicinity.
In view Of this, and also Of the fact
that its officers devote time, energy and
money to the building up of the city
commercially and indastrially, often to
great personal loss and inconvenience,
II should be the aim of every business
man in Astoria to become a member of
the Chamber and TO cooperate with the
officers in the laudahle object for which
they as individuals and the Chamber of
Commerce as a body are constantly
striving.
Organized effort on the part of our
business men is the sures way to accom-
plish things for the city, because it in
dicates condition of harmony and
feeling Of interest among them that
stands for something broader and more
patriotic than lack of public spirit
made manifest by dwarfed member
ship in the one body that should WELD
the greatest amount of influence in the
upbuilaing Of the city than any similar
organization.
The Chamber Of Commerce numbers
among Its members some Of the most
progressive business and professional
men Of the city; its officers are en-
shusiastlc and enterprising, and the
feld before them is rich Of resources
and inviting. But there is need Of a |
larger membership and it is to the
business men on the outside that this
appeal is made.
The interests of Astoria and the bust
mes men of Astoria are identical.
