HAND PICKED EMIGRANTS.
Ten Thousand to Be Sent to Canada
by Salvation Army.

Canada is tremendously interested
IN the new consignment of young wom-
| en- which the Salvation Army lately
brought across seas from the old coun-
try to the land of the maple leaf, says
the New York Tribune. If the young
women's heads are not turned with all
the interest and attention their coming
has, attracted it viii only be because,
scattered from Quebec to Manitoba,
most of them will never know anything
about it,
Never since Moses led the children of
Israel out of Egypt has there been in 4
single year, they say, SO well organized
an exodus as that OF which these young
women were Il part. During 1906 TO-
600 persons will emigrate to Canada
under the army's auspices from the
United Kingdom. The first battalion
of 1,1S5 persons arrived at Halifax on
March Is. Before they put foot on
Canadian soil each wage Garner in this
number had been provided with Il sit
uation, had received full instructions
how to get to it and had bought his
railroad ticket. Then he, with his fam
lily, was put aboard the train and
started straight for the new start. In
many instances they We're met at their
destination by agents of the Salvation
Army.
The young women were placed out
as domestic servants on farms and in
suburban places. Tie only trouble
with them was there wasn't half
enough of them. for everybody knows
that just about the tin these rosy
checked maidens from Wales and Eng
land and Ireland have settled into
their new life some nice young men
will come along and want to marry
them. That's the way it has always
been before.
OF the 1,1S5 Salvation Army immi-
grants who sailed from Liverpool on
March 1 between 80 and 300 were wo-
men and children. The party was I'M
der the command of Commissioner
Cadman, and with it, for the sake of
observing the incidents of the voyage
and the attitude of Canada to the en-
terprise. came J. J. Hart, IL representa-
tive of the Evening News and the
Overseas Daily, two of the Harms
worth papers.

by no means destitute people. Only
few have approached the poverty line.
On the morning of landing $1,000 was
changed in the immigration sheds at
Halifax They have been described as
hand picked immigrants. Instead of
bringing them across. dumping them
ON Il dock and leaving thcra to find
their feet as they could. they were
carefully selected in the first instance.
and each wage Garner was provided
with a situation on the voyage over.
There was no hit or miss about it.
Some of the men had splendid families
of ten and twelve children. They

was to determine the cause and Cis-

The experiments were made in a

Women sailors are employed in Den
mark, Norway and Finland and are
often found to be excellent mariners.
In Denmark several women are en-
ployed as state officials at sea, and
particularly in the pilot service. They
go out to meet the incoming ships; they
climb nimbly out of their boats; they
show their official diploma, and they
steer the newcomer safely into the har-
Dor. 1t is the same in Finland.

present laws. The city and town peo- pie of Maine have demonstrated their strong animosity to the continuation of prohibition"
 Prohibition has had precarious existence in Maine for sixty years. but up tO q very few years ago mo- body kicked much against it because it was sO openly violated that any sort of drinks could be obtained aI- most anywhere Then Governor Col h came into office. He denounced pro- hibition as q roaring farce. but said he intended tO enforce the laws against whiSkey selling in every county and city in the state. He did so with ven gelnce. making it difficult to get something to drink except hard cider. the ''jags" from which increased at a tremendous rate. Public opinion be- came aroused. Governor Cobb was q candidate for reelection. with the distinct understanding that he would continue his policy.
 While Maine gives evidence of try ing to get rid of her prohibition laws. after sixty years of trial. q reform wave has struck other states. Tn Oklahoma a fight is being made to cS- tablish prohibition. Whether the out come in Maine will furnish dash of coE water for the reforlners is not known here.

WITHOUT PRAYER.
Superior Court To Dispense With
 Services of a Minister.

Hartford. Sept 13.-The state of Connecticut isn't going to be as liber- al in buying prayers in the future as it has been in the past. It has been long established custom in this country to have a minister present to offer prayer at the opening of each session of the superior criminal court, but no prayer will be offered at the opening of the September term of the court on Tuesday afternoon of next week.
 When Sheriff Smith was asked yes- terlay afternoon who was going to make the prayer at the opening of the term he said that no prayer would be offered and In explanation of why the long established custom was to be abandoned he said that he had talked with some of the judges and learned that 1t had been decided to dispense with the custom. The sher- if said that judges had told him that there was no statue providing for the payment of clergymen to offer prayer and in the absence of a statue to au- thorize the paying out of the states money there was a feeling on the part of the judges that the custom be abandoned.
 There Is probably no man now lIv- ing who ever saw a term of the crim- inal court in this country Opened without the formality of prayer. but because of the feeling of judges in the matter the likelihood Is that the practice of having prayer offered at the opening of terms of the criminal court and the supreme court will he abandoned in all sections of the state. The clergymen who have offered prayer at the opening of the criminal sessions in this county In the past have been paid 8 and the clergymen who have offered prayer in the su- nreme court have been paid $J.

APPLE CIDER JAG.
Some Maine People Think Prohibit ton Has Been Given Hard Time

Washington, D. C., Sept 13.-The cider ''jag" of Maine has received q severe jolt.
 Prominent Maine people in Wash ington unhesitatingly express the be- lief that prohibition in that state is practically doomed and that another two years will see governor and legislature elected who will resubmit the question of prohibition to the people. which means. if is declared. that something less intoxicating than apple cider will get an opportunity to be used.
 The comparatively small majority received Monday by Governor Cobb and the republican nominees for the house of representatives is asserted by Maine people in Washington to be really a defeat for the republicans in that state. inasmuch as the majority has been reduced below any known in the Pine Tree state for forty years or more And the result was brought about by q strictly loclI fight on pro hibltion. the republicans standing pat for prohibition. the democrats making a fight all along ihe line to have the question Of doing away with prohibition again submitted to the people.
 The capture of practically all the principal Maine cities and towns by democratic city officers means. it Is declared. that prohibition will b, ig- norssl more than ever.
 ''Tbe troublc.- said q leading Maine offiee-hoIsler here. ''is that prohibition in Maine has grown tc f,e a rDaring farce.

charming address and possesses much
personal magnetism This combination

class already formed. 1t is the inten-
ton of Mrs. Moore to give these talks
