MEN AND CHURCH.
Rare Thing to Pick One Out in Some
 Congregations.

So few men and such large num- Der of women crowded into ore of the churches on West Main street the other evening, the occasion being a special musical program of considerable merit, that a man who watched the steady stream of people from across the way towards the Sol diers' monument, wanted to know if a revival or mission was being con ducted for the special benefit of the women folks. Nobody made reply and after some deliberation the gen tleman answered his own query by stating that he expected to live long enough to see the time when a man will be something of a curiosity in the churches. He said he remom- bered once when 1t would be out of the question to find pew in any of the Protestant churches of the city without at least one man in it, but he admitted with some reluctance that that was long ago and that things have changed since so that men in his church at Sunday service or at any other time are few and far between. He thought he noticed a tendency in that direction in all the other houses of worship, the Cath ollie churches included, although, he added, the falling of was by no means as marked in the latter as in the others. But he had notion that things would not remain tbat way very long and hazarded the as- sertion that the Catholic children of the not distant future will pause on the way to church to watch their schoolmates playing base ball and will not move a peg farther until the game is over. The next Sunday they will get into the lot and take a hand in the game and then it will be all up with them as Sunday church goers. He contended that the Cath olics themselves are paving the way for just such a condition as he fore saw and wondered much why no hand appeared to be raised against it. The Catholics, he claimed. profit ed very much by the rigid New Eng land Sunday in vogue here until re- gently, and while he didn't go into details he had a notion that Cath olics will suffer more by letting down the bars than any of the other de- nominations. There are few real, earnest. day in and day out church goers among the men connected with the Protestant churches" he said. True. many of them go to church. but it is more to please thelf wives and children than through any re- ligious motive. I'm talking nos of men of high character. and of a sIb- jeet with which I am quite familiar When was a boy I regarded a man who didn't go to church on Sunday as a person unfit to associate with, but by degrees I kept growing indif- ferent and finally I stopped alto gether. 1 never thought I'd live to see such a condition of things in our church. but when 1 look back now and see how it all came to pas and then stop and look at others work ing towards the same end. often ask myself how much longer will the Christian religion continue to hold large bodies of human beings to- gether7"

LIQUOR
COMPANY $40
Mayor Harmer Assesses Crescent
Concern That Amount for Sell.
ing Intoxicants to Boys.

The Crescent Liquor Company was
fined $40 and costs by Mayor Harmer
at special session of police court
late Wednesday afternoon for unlaw-
fully selling liquor to Jimmie Bragg,
]. Martin and George Fogg, boys in
their teens. The case was a
sequence of Jimmie's drinking SO
much of the liquor that the police
had to take him to hospital.
Carl Shin. the president, repre-
sented the liquor company and he
said the liquor was sold to the boys
on what purported to he a written
order signed by Ralph Barnett. He
pleaded not guilty to the charge but
the mayor imposed the fine on the
ground that selling intoxicating bey-
erages to minors on an. order is the
same as selling 1t without an order
and cited a decision to that effect
by the supreme court of the state.
Mr.. Shin paid the fine and costs
which amounted in all to $3.50.
