The growth of temperance senti-
ment in America has been rapid and
steady during the past few years.
asserts the Evening Journal. There
is no doubt that it is a healthy
growth expressed at the ballot and
steadily narrowing the area Of the
saloons operations and likewise re-
stricting the number of drinkers in
the sentiment against the employ
ment of regular users of intox-
icants. The railroads have taken the
lead in this as they should, since
their employees have the response
bility of life and limb as well as
property. Manufacturers, however,
are quickly falling into line with
the railroads. Temperance habits
have become requisite for employ
ment in hundreds of important fac
tories.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

The Sabbath observance session Of
the White Ribboners held last Thurs
day in the Methodist church, was
well furnished with facts, some
hopeful and encouraging, others
quite the reverse. In response to
roll call Mrs. Tiffany spoke of the
stringent means taken for the en-
forcement of the Sunday closing Of
saloons in this state. Mayors, coun-
ty commissioners. city councilmen.
sheriffs and other officers are sub
ject to lose their office and forfeit
from 500 to $500 if they allow the
saloons to do business on Sunday.
Miss H. Hitchcock answered with
Renville item. The Olivia public
schools are in session on Saturdays
and closed on Mondays On inquir-
ing the reason for this change, the
reply was, Professor S. is a Chris
tian. He found that high school
pupils prepared their Monday morn
ing lessons by studying them on
Sunday. School work was i often
made an excuse for neglect of the
Sunday church services. He believed
there could be no real moral worth
with Sabbath dissertation, and the
spiritual welfare Of the youth was
being h ndered: hence the change !"
Prof. Jones Of our own high school
told his pupils that he preferred
poorly prepared lessons. to Sunday
study Of secular lessons.
Mrs. Lusk next quoted the Rev.
Law, an English minister who ap-
points the great evangelist Gypsy
Smith" his mission tours. Mr.. Law,
while in America, was delighted
with very many phases of church
life; but he said, the Americans gen.
orally seem to have lost the Sunday.
He was shocked by the Sabbath des-
ecration. In Chicago he found the
saloons and theatres open all day
on Sunday. He considers the re-
ligious people take too little interest
in civic matters. 1t seemed to him
they spent their time in going to
religious conventions, singing hymns
and saving prayers and regarded
public matters as worldly. Churches
should have a strong and direct in
fuence on civic life.
In the business session arrange
ments were made, and committees
appointed to carry out the anti
narcotic union service of the Sunday
schools.
A committee consisting of Mes
DANES Angel, Chadderdon and Cow
gill were appointed to call on the
mayor with regard to the saloons
being securely closed on Sunday.
Also to forbid the sale Of liquor to
Indians.

IRELAND AS CHAPLAIN.

The Courier-Journal, published at
Louisville, Kentucky, says: Patriot
ism is one Of the strongest traits Of
the Irish-American, and there are
few members of this CHEEKY race
who possess it to the extent that
Archbishop Ireland does. He was
born in Ireland ty-eight years ago
and came to America in his boy
hood. He was educated in the Cath
Ole school of St. Paul, Mimi, and
received his theological degrees in
France, combining all he acquired
toward the one end that he might
best serve the land of his adoption.
He was ordained as priest in 1861,
and shortly afterward enlisted in the
Fifth Minnesota regiment as chap
lain. Alert, strong and active. he
took part in the real battles, as well
as offering consolation to- those
worsted in the conflicts of the soul,
and on one occasion at least he has
gone on record as being able to use
physical as well as moral suasion.
It seems one big Minnesota fellow
grew SO frightened in battle that he
took to his heels and sought safety
in the rear of army. The young
priest Immediately gave chase, over
took the fleeing deserter, and deity
catching him by the neckband with
one hand and by the trousers with
the other, rushed him back to the
front and showed him into position
on the firing line with the instruc-
tons to stay there and fight for his
country. Then, seeing that the am
munitlon was running low, and that
the rest of the men were becoming
discouraged, the chaplain went for
ammunition, distributed it with his
own hands, and encouraged the mer
to new effort. 1t was thus he wor
the day for his cause.

The following item take
from the United Mining In
vestor of Boston, written b,
Carl L. Barker, who VISITED
this camp a few weeks ago:
Phoebe" is a name familiar tt
many who are still interested in
mining in this great and gloriou.
western country, for here were
operated from 1870 to 1876 some
OF the greatest producing lead
and silver mines of the world

nels OF. the Meadow Valley Com
pany, Raymond and Ely, Pioche.

Mazeppa and many others, which
made records in the production

are still in a fair state of preserva-
tion, for reasons which I shall
here relate work in them has
been stopped for many wears.
1t was these mines which are
said to have saved the credit OF
the nation in the panic of '73.
and under the most unfavorabla
circumstances, it being necessary
to haul every piece of machinery
from 225 to 300 miles. Much Of
1T was brought to eastern Nevada
across the desert from Palisades.
California, and from Salt Lake
City at a cost Of Zoe. per pound
for hauling alone, from ten DAYS
to two weeks being required to
bring it into Phoebe from the
nearest railroad point, which.
for example, made bricks for !
building purposes cost 40c. each
and machinery and supplies in |
the same proportion. These |
were the conditions until several |
years later, when the railroad
was built to Milford, Utah, re-
ducing the haul to 124 miles.
To give clearer idea of the
location of this noted mining
region l will state that it is
situated in eastern Nevada in the
Ely mining district of Lincoln
county, 28 miles north from the
town of Calente on the Los An
geles, San Pedro & Salt Lake

stage line, but soon to have direct ,
