w. c. T. U. Meeting at BeIIeview


The w. G. T L. meeting at the res
idence of Mrs. r. c. Ridge Tuesday
afternoon was not so Well attended
as some of our former meetings have
been. only eleven ladies being pres
ent. This falling off in attendance is
not an evidence of lack of interest in
temperance work. however, for
among the absentees were some of
our most Jealous workers. and only
for the best of reasons would they
miss a meeting.
Our faithful president was at her
post as usual.
After devotional exercises and
singing We'll Make the Maps All
White" reports from superintendent
and committees were called for.
A letter from Miss Neal was read,
urging the ladies to subscribe to our
national organ, the Union Signal and
to the Florida edition. which will be
published by said paper once a
month. Six subscribers for the Flor
ida edition and one for the Signal
were secured Z.
Mrs. j. ]. Thompson rendered her
resignation as superintendent of the
Loyal Temperance Legion, and Mrs
Shedd was appointed in her place.
After discussing various plans for
raising the money pledged by our del
egate at the state convention, it was
suggested that we see how much
could be raised without any outside
effort. and in a few minutes all but
one dollar of the amount was in the
treasurer's hands. We all drew a
sigh of relief for none of us are fond
of stewing oysters or freezing cream
but it is often the only way out of
such difficulties Raise the money
hand if YOU can, but stew and
make a mighty effort this wear &c
carry our state for prohibition.
The people of Belleview have great
er reason to fight the liquor traffic
than ever before. Will they do it? l.
there man, white or colored. in our
community whose heart is not touch
ed when he looks upon the sad fate OF
the one who has been robbed OF huS-
band and son in so short a time by
this accursed traffic? And that sor
only seventeen! What of the law
that protected a minor?
May the men of Belleview realizt
their responsibility as never before
and may God help them to vote t
save our boys. God holds US respon
sible not only for the evil that We do
but for the evil we might prevent.

SHIFTING PRICE MOVEMENT Indicates Nervous Temper in SpecuIa. tion-Record Gold Enssssmsnts fe' London.

New York; April 26.-A nervous temper in the speculation is indicated by the sudden and violent shifts in the price movement which stocks are un- dergoing. The severe declines which occurred on Monday were almost en- tfrely recovered in a convulsive ad- vance at the opening today, refiecting the unwillingness of the bears to maintain the position they had taken by shor. sales the day before. The demand from the bears was, at first, g. simple profit taking movement, ap- parenfly in the hope of finding in creased offerings of stocks a result of the alarming reports of damage to the cotton crop by the cold wave. The offerings proved much less than was anticipated and the violent effect on prices followed from this cause. Quo tations for cotton and grain, when they were received, negatived the idea of d fsastrous damage to the crops, such as had been implied, and the coercing movement by the bears was then ex- tended. Aggressive buying of United States Steel and revived reports that the dividend was to be increased help ed on the recovery with the assuAnp- ton that important inside interests were supporting that stock The bulls the price paid for American eagles by the Bank of England, and the assunp- ton that this implied . cessation of the gold export movement When the demand from the uncovered bears was satisfied those long Of stocks began to feel the same disinc3ination to main- tain their position and sent prices downwards again with their efforts to realize profits-
 To a degree tho color of the news varied in a manner to keep pace with the f1uctuating demand for stocks. The reassuring effect on sentiment of the decline in cotton and grain prices passed away to some extent with the ~0 <<Rrr &4r. a,~- kl-~ continuance and the extension of the cold wave. The tone of the weather bureaus weekly bulletin gave SO serf- ous a view of the situation as to awaken ewed anxiety.
 s The addition of $2.000,000 to the en- gagements of gold for shipment to London tomorrow brought the total for the week to $14.500, 900, which contin- ues a record outgo for one week, with the single exception of the week end ing May 21, 1904, when $15,363,810 was shipped to France in payment for the Panama canal
 Call loan rates here were But trihe firIner, but the gold outflow has reach eds such formidable proportions as to prove portentious to stock exchange sentiment. The change from early be- lief that the movement was euded 10 the prospect of further gold shipments was an element in the later transfor- nation of speculative sentiment. It's extreme unsett1enent was exempiified in still another and final covering movement by the shorts, as . result of which prices ended the day midway between the nigh and low prices.
 The United StAtes Steel dividend action and the quarterly statement published after the stock market clos- ed threw no light on it's action.

 l Willimantic, April 26.-The mag mates of the Connecticut Baseball as- sociation held a long session in the mayors office in the town building on were President D. P. Dunn, Vice Pres tdent Charles Humphrey of New Lon don, Secretary George J. Fisher of 1 Middletown, Treasurer D. J. Hayes of Norwich. Charles L. Burdick of Mid dletown, Bob O'Connel of New Ha- ven. representing Rockville and allied interests, John J. C. Stone of Nor wich, adviser of Magnate Hayes Maj John Manley of this city and three local newspapermen-
 The meeting was called to order by President Dunn and the reading of the minutes of the last meeting were ap- proved It was voted to pay the bill for the printing of 100 copies of the constitution and by-laws and also that each club should remit a certain sum to the secretary immediately. Opening Will Be on May ii. Owing to the great difficulty that Middletown has experienced in ob- taining grounds. which has at last been obviated by Secretary Fisher giving up his beautiful family orchard right across the street from the in- sane asylum and transforming same into an up to date ball ground. it was at first thought that the opening of the league might have to be deferred for a few days, but after talking the mat ter over it was decided to open on schedule time, May IT, and couple of games will be transferred if neces- sary to allow MiddletoWn to get ev- erything shipshape.
 As there was no representative pres- ent from Meriden, the sixth club con- templated, the magnates present adopted a four-1eague team schedule, and in the event of Meriden coming in same will be changed to six team schedule.
 The schedule arrangement consumed a long time before it proved Satisfac- tory to all concerned and MT. Burdick will have same perfected and pub lished as soon as possible. The sched- ule as far as Norwich IS concerned as printed herewith.
 Bob O'Connel1 has arranged with Secretary Fisher of the Middletown club to rent him 1,500 circus seats for Middletown's new baseball ground to be able to start the season on time-
 The meeting adopted the Spaulding league ball-the best that the firm makes-and Secretary FiAller will communicate with that firm at once.
 Many Players Already Signed.
 All the magnates present, with the exception of Mayor Dunn. reported a wealth of material already signed and the mayor said that he would have his candidates on deck when the time for the opening arrived.
 To Name Umpires Soon.
 The umpires have been signed-two regulars and a substitute-and they are all from Willimantic. so said Den ne Hayes. President Dunn has the appointment of these and he will an- nounce his official selection within a day or two. John J. Curfan, the old time first baseman of this city, has

sLueeERs HOOK UP TONIGHT
Laneford and ketcheI in Six Round
 Bout at Philadelphia.

Fight promoters will look a long while until they find two men of the middleweight class as evenly matched as Sam Langford and Stanley Ketcb- ell, who step into the ring in Phila- delphia tonight for a six-round go. On the night of the bout scarcely two pounds will separate the bone and sim CIV proportions of the two boxers. This fact, with tlle similarity in the fighting tactics used by both men, will add to make it all the more interesting and the result more dubious.
 The alacrity with which Ketchel took up the match with the Boston Terror when confronted by Harry Ed wards shows how foolish was the story that he was lodging Langford. He figures Langford less dangerous than Johnson. In fact. in open interviews he prefers Langford Johnson was a reach and height The fact that Lang ford is the same style fighter as he, also adds to the "Assassin.s" chances of victory.
 Langford is completing his train ing at Merchantville, N. J., and will put on the finishing touches today. Sam says there is going to be no fool ing in this battle, and makes his state ment more emphatic by adding: No, indeedy." T am jest going to knock MT. Ketchel kickin' as quick as I can," he announced yesterday at his train ing quarters.

Two players have been released by two American league clubs this spring who are of the type that professional baseball can i'll afford to lose. They are William Keeler and George S. Davis. Keeler and Davis are two men in the history Of the national game whose careers as exemp1ars of a paid sport have been traightferward, man ly and honest with the public.

A wet diamond did not deter the Academy squad from a little baseball practice on Tuesday, from getting a chance to prepare for meeting the Plainf1eld High school nine this after noon- Coach Aultfnan had the boys out for short session, keeping them limbered up on the plays that are counted upon to win games through the coming season. The good batting eye that the squad is developing is giving reason for much confidence in the N. F. As ability to get a major ity of winning scores this year, and they do not intend to let the school boys from Plainfield stop them at this stage of the game.
 Plainfield has tWir1er named Byles who has shown form, but the Academy will have Jack Gallivan in the box, so that hits for the upstate boys ought to be scarce. The following will prob ably be the lineups:
