Meeting Held Last Night Un-

Mrs. Leonora Lake. of st. Louis. who
has become a notable figure In the
local option fight By her vigorous ad-
dresses against liquor, addressed
large audience i'm Wesley NJ h. Church.

The meeting was held under the aus
pices Of the Women's Federation. The
Rev. George White Dawson, pastor OF

the pulpit platform with Mrs. Lake, be-
sides the pastor, were Rev. j. A. Mich

Turner of Brandywine M. E. Church;
Rev }. l.. Westfall Of Bethany Church
and the Rev h. n. Cantwel, of Cor
dova was also present.
Mrs Lake said, "The liquor.men say
that we are trying TO make men moral
by law Well, an the brains In Della
ware are not confined 10 the liquor
men Of Delaware. A little gray matter
finds its way from Missouri. no liquor
man can say that man has not been
made moral by Gods law. We are not
trying TO make men now by law, but
are trying to withdraw certain privi-
leges OF the liquor traffic which have
made so many men immoral.
The liquor men base one of the loud
est objections to prohibition on the
ground that IL viii interfere with their
personal liberty Let me tell you. boys.
there Is not a law in the state of Della
ware that does not interfere with some
body's personal liberty somewhere.
There is not an ordinance passed by
the City Council that does not inter-
fere with some mans personal liberty.
To interfere with somebody's personal
liberty is the only way we can pro-
tect the right and prohibit the wrong.
The public welfare after all, consists
in interfering with the personal liberty
Of a certain class.
"Why don't you distillers. brewers
and salconkeepers come out honestly
and say we're fighting for our money
interests in the State Of Delaware ?
That would be honest But YOU must
play out the subterfuge that you are
fighting in the interests Of the people.
Being Irish, I like TO fight In a fair
and open field Ysu know YOU have
no use for Delaware except for the
money that's in g."

NEW YORK, oct. 1O.-Alone with an
aged watchman in the twenty-story
Century building, filled with brokers,
bankers and financial officers two
craclsmen were defeated early to-day
in attempt at what might have proved
the monumental haul of modern crimi-
nal history Only the caution of the
buildings guardian, 6O-year-Old Rich
ard f. Grey, in leaving his keys behind
when he began his rounds prevented
the success Of the plot. So many If
the offices are equipped with burglar
alarms that an attempt to use force 20
enter them would have brought scores
of policemen and detectives TO the
scene. Provided with the Office keys,
the thieves could have devoted the en-
tire night to ransaoling the building
for money and securities. It is said
to contain millions in cash, stocks,
bonds. and mortgages.
Grey was surprised on the nineteenth
floor. far from help and felled with an
iron bar. Convinced by searching their
conscious victim that he had no
keys with him, the men beat him to the
point OF death and fled by means Of an
elevator. In his weakened condition it
took the injured watchman nearly an
hour 20 descend the eighteen flights Of
stairs and notify the police.

The Warmth of a Snow Blouse.

Usually our snow igloos allowed each man from eighteen to twenty inches space in which to lie down and just room enough to stretch his legs well. With our sleeping bags they were en- tirely comfortable, no matter what the weather outside. The snow is porous enough to admit of air circulation, but even gale of wind without would not affect the temperature within. It is claimed by the natives that when the wind blows a snow house is warmer than in period of still cold. could see no difference. A new snow igloo is, however, more comfortable than one that mas been used, for newly cut snow blocks are more porous. In one that has been used there is always 2 crust of ice on the interior which pre- vents a proper circulation of air.-Dil. lon Wallace ill Outing Magazine.

In the American Museum Of Natural History in New York is a wonder Of marine life. It is a gigantic Japanese crab, measuring twelve feet across, making it the largest in the world The specimen is a type of the spider crab. which inhabits the waters of the group of islands forming the empire of Japan. The body portion of the crab is the size of half bushel measure, while its great arms could easily en- circle the figure of man. Its legs re semble poles and are extremely elastic, and if strung into one line they would reach to the top of a four story apart mcnt building.-Ncw York Herald.
