The Needs of the Hour.

Judging from the applause and laugh
ter that punctuated his remarks, Hon.
| George ID. Alden succeeded in delivering
a very popular lecture on ''The Needs of
the Hour in Chandler Music hall last
! Thursday evening before an audience of
three or four hundred people.
Though there IS proverbially nothing
new under the sun. even in the line of
stories, Judge Alden has the happy facul-
ty of dressing up old truths in fresh YER
biage, plentifully spangled with gems of
wit to catch and hold the wavering atten-
ton of the multitude. He is an easy
rhymster also and spices his discourse
with cOuplets whose jingling measure
will often convey an idea more fOrcibly
than the most studied prose.
OF course, he called this an age of com
mercialsm and laid the blame for the
great sins of the captains of industry on
the petty thievery of the grocer who
short-weighs his customers raisins, and
to the small farmer whose stock consists
of few COWS and a good well of water
and who, following the example of Pima
raoh's daughter, takes a little profit
(prophet) out of the water. He charac-
terized this as an age, not of the Golden
Rule, but of the rule of gold, and warned
his hearers that
Loss may be gain, and gain may be loss
But money alone is nothing but drOss.
great need of the hour, in his opin-
ion, was a return to the Puritan simple
ity of the fOrefathers, whose IuXuries and
a vast number of induIgences of which
they never dreamed, have become our
necessities. Their habit of prayer-the
safeguard of Iife-has been allowed with
us to lapse into nOcuous desuetude I'M
less a man is about to lie down in fold
ing bed. Their daily practice of reading
the Bible; too. is so little our practice
that, alas there are too many of us with
wives of the apostles, or that SOdom and
GOmorrah were married.
He then launched against the divorce
evil and portrayed, or rather betrayed,
the felicities of the average household
with so much accuracy that there was a
general nudging of elbows on the part of
the Josiah and Samantha Aliens in tt e
audience, both of whom scored heavily
but not reponderantly so.
If you are looking for the real hope of
the future years, he said, you need look
no farther than the home. Cultivate
bacl1bon instead of wishbOne. You
cannot reform the nation until you re-
form the state; you cannot reform the
state until you reform the towns and eli
ties; you cannot reform the towns and CT,
ties until you reform the homes, and you
cannot reform the home until you reform
yourself. In the slang of the day, it is
up to you.

Death Of Mrs. Jennie M. Stevens.

Mrs. jennie NJ. lHaines), widow OF
the late Charles Stevens, died at O'Clock
Friday morning at the age Of % years.
She was taken seriously i'll about six
weeks ago at the home Of Mrs. Ed. Nc
Intosh, whom she had been visiting, and
As her condition grew worse, she was
finally removed TO the seuatorium to be
made as comfortable as possible. From
the first there seemed to be no hope of re-
lief from the canccrous trouble OF the
stomach, with which she was aft icted.
Mrs. Stevens was born in Epping, y.
H.. but came to Randolph in 1872 with
her husband, whose death occurred here
about 10 years ago. She had resided in
this place almost continuously with the
exception of recent sojourn in Derry, y.
H., from which she returned the latter
part OF May.
She left four children-Clestic c. Stev-
ems of Randolph; Alice, the wife of Ches-
ter \. Matson of Buffalo, y. y; Bert
Stevens of Manchester, y. H.. ami Frank
of Derry, y. H. All of the children
were with her in the last days of her life.
The funeral service was held at ,
O'Clock Sunday afternoon at the home Of
Clestic c. Stevens. and Rev. Fraser Metz
ger of Bethany church OBLIGATED. Burial
was in Southview cemetery, the three
sons and son-in-law acting as bearers.
