 Next meeting January 25th at 8 D. m. with Mrs. H. Stainton. Let us turn out en masse and have another good meeting.
 Those who missed the meeting with Mrs. Young last week are losers in large degree. Miss Powell's solo, Nobody Knows but Mother" was fitting intro duction to the beautiful and in- structive service. It was Moth CTS Day, a red letter day, set apart by our great organization to perpetuate the memory of St. Courageous, as she was wont to be called the Mother Of our Sainted Frances E. Willard. As the years come and go may the mothers of our land exalt the day more and more by studying the principles that should govern the home, the municipality, the state, the nation. How true it is that a nation rises no higher than it's motherhood How incum- bent then that the mothers es- tablish and maintain high ideals of thinking and living. If we could enlist every mother, and have her study the great truths of science as to child training; the when and where and how for correction: the when and where and how for pure living and the rights of others, and es- pecially the responsibility for the protection of the weak against the strong, there would be fewer
 wild oats" and the consequent bitter reaping, but instead there would be a turning to the ways of righteousness because 1t is right to do right, and great would be the joy of the people.
 The Mayor and the Law" This was the subject of sermon by a minister who has stirred Chicago.
 With burning words which gave no impression of tempest, but in their very calmness and dispassionate ernestness he told the young men that the demand for service in moral reform was as great today as ever in the past and that the church must go into politics in the person of it's loyal consecrated youth and fight corruption and saloonism to the death.

LET US ALONE.

does not dread the light. It never complains when an expla- nation is demanded.
 Crime always seeks the cover of darkness. It is afraid of being disturbed. It wants above all things on earth to be let alone.
 The gambler who decoys the unsuspecting victim into his den of vice desires to be let alone. Do not bother my business and I will not bother your business, ' is one of his familiar pet phrases. Let us alone.
 The ''Wildcatter" who makes his burning fluid, destroying society. debauching the young men and the old men, is satisfied if he is let alone. Just don t come bothering my business and I will not bother your business. y Let us alone.
 The Blind Tiger who haunts the dark alleys and sells his wares in ways that are myste- rious, making drunkards and criminals gets his feelings hurt if he is molested in his occupa- ton. He says let us alone.
 The saloon keeper who runs his nefarious business accord ing to law manufacturing drunkards, destroying mems req son, carrying sorrow, destitutlon and want to his loved ones, and plunging thousands into destruc- tion, will look pleasant and do little acts of charity, be courte- ous and make many nice friends. if you will just let him alone. If you disturb him in his wicked occupation you are deemed a meddler; you are a kicker. ' You are nosing into other peo- pIe's business. , He is perfectly satisfied if you will only let him alone.
 The burglar who breaks into your store or dwelling at night and robs you of your hard-earned substance, will be perfectly sat isfed if you will just let him alone.
 The ballot thief who disfran- chises honest voters, who de- stroys the suffrage of his fellow sovereigns, who steals his neigh bor's liberty, who is undermining the very foundations of govern ment and society cries let us alone. No matter if he is cor rupting the very source of society. No matter if he is placing scoun- drels in places of honor and profit over the protest of honest peo- pie. No matter if the voice of the majority, the decent, law abiding majority is hushed by his crimes. No matter if he does teach young men to steal and commit perjury, his cry is let us alone. If you enter a solemn, earnest protest against his perfidy and infamy, he calls you a kicker. He says you are sore. <" He tries to cover his accuser with slime to hide his own shame. Like the Scuttle- fish, he spews out his own black ness to endeavor to hide himself in the darkness which his own devise and subterfuge has create
 Society and government are organized to put down crime; to protect the weak; to restrain the vicious; to encourage virtue.
 But a government of dishonest men, or a country governed by dishonest men, will not be likely to make a very great effort to punish crime.
 All reformation must begin in the hearts of the people. All laws must be backed by public opinion if they are enforced. Or at least, men must regard

Pryor and His Soloists Coming
 Attraction for To-day.

At Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia, Pa, MT. Pryor, who appears at the Hyperion, Thursday matinee and night, Oct. r, played his famous solo, Air Varie." by request. Tn the finale of the solo, MT. Pryor plays very rapid variation, including great number of deep pedal tones. A bullfrog of local prominence was impressed so much by this performance that he evidently called a private rehearsal with himself. That same evening, as MT, Pryor was leaving the park, the bullfrog was giving full vent to his appreciation, when a plrty of young folks unconsci- ous of Mir Pryor's presence, remarked that the tonal quality of the bullfrogs sonorousness would make MT. Pryor turn green with envy. The engage ment of Pryor and his splendid aggre- gation of musical stars, will be the event of the season. Matinee at 2:45.

 Local color and well-drawn types are said to be one of the features of the new play, Billy the Kid" which is being successfully presented by lo- sept Santley this season. Not that there are not many strong and dra- matic situations, for there are, but the play is said to be exceedingly deftly written and to afford the star many excellent opportunities, of which he takes the utmost advantage. Mir. Santley's supporting company is said to be made up of the best players possible to obtain, and includes the names of many favorites. The love interest in Joseph Santley's new play is reported to be exceedingly well sus- tained throughout the entire action of the play. It is the real love of a young woman for a young man that the authors are said to have depicted and not the mawkish sentiment so frequently found in plays of this sort where both the hero and the heroine do impossible things for one another In this instance the friendship of the boy and girl ripens into the real love of the man for the woman, the lat ter showing her wonanliness in many sacrifices she makes for the former

 Arthur Deagon made a very satisfac- tory gambler, with a great deal of English of the George Ade type, in the role of Johnny Hicks" He has been furnished with the best chatter of the piece and all in all was good. His rendition of Thursdays My Jonah Day" and the gymnastic efforts he, in dulged in was one of the best things in the production, At various stages of the play when the action was drag glng his appearance saved it from be- coming tiresonle

George Anderson was fair as "Tom Cunningham" and James Nor val as Laurie Farnham" was ordi- nary.

Her dancing was extremely graceful and her voice far superior to any of the others.
 In the second act Miss Burt's song Dixie, l Love You was ably. set oiG by a tamborine effect by the full chorus and she was compelled to respond to a number of encores. The Waning Honeymoon, also sung by Miss Burt was well received.
 There are but eight songs in the play, and none of them are likely tc prove big hits of the season. two of them being In places very like recent successes.
