SHDKIN BY “IPENANCE. ‘ .-
Vlgmus Bottllog of New Osman's Dry
Bones. Caused by the Spear “sen-ls. _
Never has New Cm been so
thoroughly amused on the subject of
temperance as it is today. The Spear
meetings, which for a weekpast have
been held nightly in Nichols’ Opera
House. have generated on enthusiasm
the people look upon as little short of:
marvelous.
New Canaan is oneI of, the hardest
towns to move in the state. it is frigid
in conservatism and anomaly anyone
believed it could be shaken, but the on-
people wear, the blue.
The crowd at the Opera House Friday
night was something enemas. Every
seat was Ifllled, and extrtmitshadso
he brought in to accommodate the peo-
ple, and even then people was standing.
The big chorus choir, whips. completely
filled the mammoth stage, sung whirls
vigor that was contagiousmnd before the.
hour for opening the meeting arrived the
auditorium resembled a vast sea of faces.
Mr. Spear had spoken every night, but
Friday night he had Dr. Willard Parker:
of New York, a summer resident of New
Canaan, upon the platform, and the doc-
tor', true to a promise given 9 few days
before, made an address on alcohol, from
a medical standpoint, illustrating it with
charts and black-board. He was cordial-
ly introduced by Mr. Spear, and in his
discourse went into a detailed analysis of
the effects of alcohol upon the human
system. The address was one of ulnorb-
ing interest, as it laid open the entire
physical organism in a manner that
made the injurious effects of the stimu-
lant appsrent to all. in introducing Dr.
Parker Mr. Spear called for It royal wel-
come, and it was given with the Chau~
tauquan salute. The waving llandkerc
chiefs from all [atria of the house made a
handsome picture of animation.
The doctor made a short address from
the platform a few evenings before, and
had met with considerable criticism be-
cause he had not then signed the pledge.
As the doctor is a society maul lawman
- been in the habit of taking a social gloss.
now and then with his friends, It was re-
garded as extremely doubtful if the blue
ribbon could be put on him. To the sur-
prise of the critics. the doctor. at the
close of his address. said he would sign
the pledge and don the blue if any ten
men in the house would follow his lead.
A voice in the rear of the hall was heard
to esclaim. “I'll be one of these men!“
It was Dr. t‘. B. Keeler, of New Canaan.
Immediately Toilet Spear sprang to the
iootlights and called on the men to take
the doctor at his word. Fbr a time there
was a wave of hesitation: men gathered
in groups at the rear of the hall. animate-
ly discussing the project. The experi-
enced eye of the toilet saw that the
breaking up of the ice was nigh at hand.
He called on the choir to sing, and that
stirring old chorus, “ Let the Lower
Lights he Homing." rolled forth ill a
grand volume of song. Instantly the
audience was un its feet. and Mr. Spear
was ill. the front shouting for pledge-
signers. He called for Dr. lieeler to lead
the way, and he did so: then, one alter
another, row contain the front They
came from all ports of the hall. The
foremost men in the community, at well
as some who have felt the evil effects of
rum. The big audience caught the es-
citement and applauded vigorously.
while the choir song its liveliest songs.
It wse a great night for New Conan,
and one that will long be remembered,
for sons were reached over whom isth-
ers and mothers have prayed and wept,
and faces were suffused with smilesoi
gladness that for many a dsy had been
sad.
Saturday sfternoon was “Children's
Day." and the Opera House was throng-
ed with the little people. A chorus choir
of thirty voices. composed of theollildren

grand enthusiasm. {the boil was crowd»
