SELF DENIAL WEEK.
laausuratsd to Raise Money for Emergencies
OF the Army.


Of the Army.
1t was in August 1886. that General
Booth sounded the trumpet call to act
ion on new lines which at once reused
the attention OF both friends and critics
In the course of letter which appear
ed in the War Cry dated August 18th
of that year, the General reviewed the
situation and for the relief of the press
ing necessities of the war proposed
that "a week be set apart in which
very soldier and friend should deny
himself OF some article of food or cloth
ing, or some indulgence which can be
done without, and that the money
gained by this selt-denial be sent to us
in this emergency" Thus was inau-
gurated what has since become known
in every land where The Army's flag
is flying, as "Self-Denial Week" The
funds raised during this effort are us
ed to aid the Home and Foreig Mis-.
sionary Work OF The Salvation Army.
During the twenty years in which
this annual effort has been observed,
Self Denial Week has furnished the
means 10y which the hearts and char
acters and homes and destiues of
thousands upon thousands have b cen
changed.
This year the date has been fixed
upon April 22d to April 10Th.
The magnificent work accomplished
in this country during the past year
under the leadership of Commander
Miss Booth is in itself great inspir.
alton to the innumerable friends of
this movement as well as to the men,
bers themselves to unite in making
this effort an unprecedented success,
on behalf OF the poor of this country
and the Missionary Work abroad.

MANY NEW AUTOMOBILES
Secretary Fleetwood Orders 400 New
Markers,

Montpelier, April % That the auto
mobile is steadily growing in popular
ity in Vermont is indicated by the fact
that Hon Frederick G Fleetwood, the
secretary OF state has been obliged to
requisition some 400rew markers from
bis Office here at the State House for
immediate shipment to his office in
Morrisville. These markers must be
placed on all machines that are licens
ed to be used in Vermont, and the
owner and operator of any unmarked
or unlicensed machine is liable to
fine If he attempts to run such an auto.
All the machines that came into the
state prior to the coming on OF winter
presumably were licensed at the time
of their purchase. According to this
supposition several new autos must
have been purchased in Vermont this
spring. The exact number is not vet
obtainable.

the recent fire in Portland has its
warning for Astoria. The wiping out

unlikely to be repeated in this city at
any time, unless the utmost care is
taken in the disposition Of inhamabIe..

THE THING TO DO.

A movement is on foot for the orga-
nization of a Young Mems Republican
Club in this city, and the initial steps
will be taken next week. 1t is the very
thing to do, and will have beneficial
effect on the coming campaign in many
ways. In the first place it viii inject
new blood into the county organization
and give impetus to every policy and es-
ery meeting held in republican inter,
ests this spring. 1t is necessary to en-
thuse the young people and enlighten
them on the graYest duties OF their
citizenry, besides giving them their
place in the party councils and activi-
ties. This is especially true OF the first
voters so are in need Of encouragement
and who have to be assisted in the for
nation of their earlier partisan obli'
cations and duties. These young men
are bound TO be the leaders in due time
and the sooner they acquire the neces-
sary acumen and experience in ways po-
litican the sooner will they be able to
shoulder their responsibilities and as
sumo the direction of party destinies.
New blood is essential in all the impor-
tant elements OF daily life and the po-
litical parties can not have too much OF
it. Revivication and new energies are
always welcome to the men who have
carried the burdens for years in the
PARTISAN field and the proposition to
rousd p the youngersts will be greeted
with re qualification an ell sides. 1t
cannot be done too soon for the good
of Clatsop county and Astoria.
