tiers of the Faith"
, With the social ostracism Of Divorces
wearers of decollette gowns, women
gamblers and feminine users of liquors
and various other vices common to
higher society as its object, a new so
ciety. which il is thought is destined
4 to create considerable of a sensation
when launched, is sooE to be organized
in Pueblo. Women of some of the lead
/ ing families in Pueblo are secretly
working out the plan. and within a
! few weeks ii is thought the society viii
/ be launched with large membership.
The new organization, while pTinci-
pally Of Catholic origin, Will not be
composed exclusively of members, of
! this church. A great many Professionals
( have signified their intention IF join-
ing, and the two religious sects will
be united on common grounds-that Of
eliminating vice from society. The so
ciety Will pattern to a great ext mt af-
ter the one recently organized in New
York City under the name of "Daugn-
tiers of the Faith The purpose of the
new society, as declared in the manual,
is to be to ''dlscountenance these usases
and customs that are the evident causes
Of the spread of moral evils in society"
Although the New York society is
sanctioned by Cardinal Gibbons and
other high officials in the church. the
Pueblo organization will be non-sectar
ian and all will be united under one
banner Among other things, the MEM
bers of the society are pledged hot 10
accept or extend invitation To divorced
persons who have married during the
life Of the persons from whom they
have been divorced; not TO be present
at any entertainment at which any
form of gambling for money is carried
on: not to drink in public cocktails or
any other alcoholic beverages, and 10
abstain from all such drinking, unless
Of wine in moderation at private din
ners. E
a decided sensation will likely be
sprung when the new organization is
launched. and much feeling is likely
to be cngendered by the strict rules OF
the society. Denver is soon to have
q similar organization and il is under
stood that it viii eventually branch out
into national organization. with reg
ular organizers in the fields the same
as i secret organization of any kind.
Pueblo is among the first to take up the
new idea.

alelce OF tNpholQ lever IN LeauNllie,
and from which hundreds of citizens
OF that place have suffered during the
past two or three weeks, the Colorado

matter up and viii do everything pos
sibie 10 prevent the disease infesting
other towns along the Arkansas river.
