Edwin l’ox praatdad, and after several
sslsctious wars sung be introduced the
speaker of the “moon, ltev. J. C.
North, of the First M. I. church.
Mr. North commenced his remarks by
saying that he would have liked the ear
of many who wercnot prsssnt. especially
thou who wars engaged
outrun. assailed supra—blamed
will toward them and Inform them that
he often prays for them. He would also
remind theragofx the horrible business in
which they are engaged ‘
As for himself, Mr. North said that his
profession compelled him to harm the
liquor business as much as possible. He
impeached the liquor traffic as being a
thief and a robber, s murders-r and being
guilty of arson and gave good masons to
sustain his accusations.
Mr. North said the work of the church
was to antagonize the business. He em-
phasised the fact that the saloon was
against the school. It lifted its hand
and swore that they should not do their
work. It takes beads of families, good
men and women, and renders them help.
less, so that children are driven in the
factories at an early age.
The speaker said that the temperance
people were working under disadvant-
ages as this appeared to be a reactionary
year according to the recent results in
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode
island. But as the battle was now being
waged it was time for every good man
to stand up and be counted.
He did not wish it understood. how-
ever, that he had given up the fight, be-
cause things often changed on the field
of battle. He couldn’t tell how the li-
quor traffic was to be swept out,whether
by the constitutional amendment or by
moral sussion. It was something that
could not be foretold.
As for himself be planted himself on
the principle of no compromise with
the business. .
Mr. North did not claim that prohibi-
tion prevented the sale of liquor but
that it made an outlaw of the business.
He did not see how a man who was
rightfully informed morally or intellect-
ually could have anything to do with
high or low license. It was not right to
instigate a man to do what another man
would not do himself. The speaker be-
lieved that nine tenths of those who ee-
poused the cause of high license would
lose their right arm rather than go be
hind a bar and sell liquor.
He did not believe that high license
was an alternative to consider in the
case. Mr. North thought that prohibi-
the poet ofiice to Plaisted‘s drug store, tion was the hardest blow that could be preaent.____
given to the rum power at present.
He closed with an earnest appeal for
the hearty support of the amendment.

An last Not-walk Girl Drinks Bear.
The following appeared in yesterday’s

wsilr Items:
"The other day a very pretty girl,
dressed in, the nattieat and sweetest
kind of agown, sat upon the pavilion
at Dcrlou’s Point. Some one came by,
and seeing her, fled to the hotel. In
about four minutes a score of people
were down upon the pavilion. There
was the girl, and oh! horrors! she was
drinking beer. A pretty, handsomely
dressed girl drinking “plebe” beer! It
was overpowering to the lockers on.
The beer had no appreciable effect upon
the girl. She draws asalsry from the
manufacturers of that bear, and a big
one. too. It is one of the cleverest and
most successful advertising schemes of
late years. The girl lives in East Nor-

What {Building and Loan Annotation
Is.
A building and loan association is the
simplest and most profitable force of co-
operation known.
Its object is to enable you to become
your own landlord on a first capital of a
few dollars, or to invest sums of from 50
cents to 810 a week in a way that will
insure more profit than savings banks or
any other form of investment can pay.
Any one may become a member—
childreu being represented by agusrdian
-—-on payment of a membership fee of 81.
Lsdissare especially welcome.
You can buy stock in the associations
generally by an installment payment of
bile a month for each share, shares hav-
ing a nominal value of $100. You can
take as few shares as one or as many as
twenty-five.
Whenever the monthly payments by
the members, together with the profits
earned by the investment of the monies
equal the full value of the stock—sun-
posing it to be two—the stock is said to
be “matured." The investing member
then gets 8100 for each share of stock he
holds, and the borrowing member gets a
satisfaction of the mortgage which the
association holds against him, leaving
him the owner of his own home.
If the stock matured in ten years or
120 months, theinvestiug member would
have a credit of only $000 in payments
made, and the difference between that
and the maturity value of his stock
would represent the profits on his invest-
mentwvery handsome profits it must be
conceded.
The borrower, meanwhile, would have
become a home-owner by easy stages-
by regular monthly installents of princi-
pal and interest that in the aggregate
would make the loan cost him little more
than his monthly rent and less than if
he got it from a savings bank, insurance
company or other capitalized concern,
if, indeed, it were possible for him toget
a loan from such sources upon the recur.
ity that a building association will an-
cept.

ciation is even safer than a safe deposit
vault could keep it.

Just as soon as it begins to accumulate
it is taken out and loaned to membersou
improved real estate that can’t by nor

stant compounding of interest on these
loans is what makes the thing so profit-
able.
Members are admitted to all meetings

You can withdraw your money at any

factors are about to enter into the market

the company’s underground system for
all police signal and fire alarm wires.
The company offers the duct to the city
for the bare cost of, its construction,
twelve and a half cents a foot. The con-
duit extends through State street, from
Elm to Custom House square, and
through Court, from State to Church. It
is parposad to further extend it through
Chilton to Meadow. fl'he adoptiur-of
the plan was conducted necessary, chief»
ly on two grounds, oflsred by Superluo
tendent Smith. The first is that all of
the city wires passed from the City Hall
over Barker d: Ransom’s stables. In case
the stables burned down the police sig-
nal and fire alarm service would be com-
pletely cut oil, The second is that the
fire alarm wires are strung near the tops
of the poles above electric light and other
wires, so that access to them is very per-
lines.
The Way It Really Was.
Mary had a little lamb, its fisece was
white as snow; it strayed away one sum-
mer day where lambs should never go.
They Mary sat down and tears streamed
from her pretty eyes; she never found
her lamb because she did not advertise.
And Mary had a brother John, who kept
the village store; he sat down and stuck-
ed his pipe, and watched the open door.
And as the people passed along but did
not stop and buy, John still sat down
and smoked his pit”. and blinksd his
e. And so the sheriff closed
still he lingered near, and

A GREAT COUNTRY.
Some Statistics to ltemlad us How Big
This Land itsaiiy.
From The Geographical News.
The largest Republic in the world is
that of United States of America, which
contains 3,260,000 square miles, being
almost equal in extent to Europe, which
has fifty~nlne kingdoms, empires, prino
cipalities and republics.
The largest state is Texas, which con-
tains 274,350 square miles, capable of
sustaining 20,000 of people and then
not be more crowded than Surtland is at
present. ~
The largest county in the United States
is Custer county, M. T., which contains
36,000 square miles, being larger in ex-
tent than thc states of Vermont, Mama-
chusetts, Connecticut, Delaware and
Rhode Island. One-tenth of the pmeut
population of the United States could
find means of a livelihood within this
immense county; then it would not be
as overcrowded as Belgium was at the
time of the last census.
The largest body of fresh water in the
world isLake Superior; it is 400 miles
long and 180 miles wide. Its area in
square miles is 32,000, which is greater
than the whole of New England leaving
out Maine.

their night’s lodging place. Occasionally
one in making a descent miscalculstes
on the exact spot and misses the fine, in
which case it again takes its place in the
ranks to try ssecond and sometimes a
third time before accomplishing its pur-
poses. Those blundsrsrs are sometimes
left until all their companions have
found their way in, as was the case last
night, when twoor three kept soaring
around the chimney dropping occasiom
ally and missing the place each time,
until by long practice the object was
finally obtained.
