cessfm. especially from the ministers

An excellent essay by Or. Melden on
theme OF absorbing interest followed
by an unusually spirited discussion con-
stituted the major portion OF the morn
ings proceedings.

were read by Rev. Mr.. Murkett. secretary,
and after slight amendment stood approx
ed.
on the call for general business, a COM
ment made by Rev. II. A. Ridgeway upon
the rapid growth OF the sale OF liquors
In the large dry goods and grocery stores
OF this city The Introduction OF the prac-
tice was deplored by the speaker who
suggested that the ministers exert them
selves to secure legislation compelling the
restriction of the sale OF liquor 10 separ-
ate establishments.
Sharp discussion followed the comment
OF Dr. Ridgeway, the ultimate decision
reached being the appointment OF Dr.
Ridgeway a COMMITTEES to confer with the
Rhode Island Temperance League from
which the united action should come.
The essay OF the morning was read by
Rev. DR.. Melden. It's theme was Solo

hensive and brief. The Song OF Solo
mon" that wonderful love poem OF Israel:
than which nothing more beautiful and
poetic has been preserved from those
ancient days barring the Psalms. Is al
ways an attractive theme and DR.. Mel
den treated IL with scholarly skill and. as
an after speaker remarked, audacious

Of Deputies passed off without notable
incidents. except at Porto Maggiore'

didate OF the Interventionists.
The church vote was against Ferri and
this fact provoked hostile demonstra-
ton on the part OF the Socialists. whose
women violently attacked the ecclesi-
astics. beating them and tearing their
gowns.
The government had anticipated
trouble at Porto Maggiore and taken
precautions accordingly. company or
cavalry was ordered out and scattered
the rioters, making many arrests and
occupying the streets. Siggnor Ferri
from a balcony exhorted the people TO
he calm and predicted the triumph of
Socialism.
Definite results from the elections will
not be known until later. but last nights
reports confirm and emphasize the mean
ing OF last Sundays election. viz: Con-
demnation OF the general strike and its
instigators.
