no new. will to For iron alumni Year
Than It was Last.
It is very evident that the members of
the Westport Christian Temperance
Union are not to sit supinely by while
the electoral battle is being fought out
to a finish.
A signal victory was obtained last
fall, when the Union succeeded in car-
rying the town for no license by a good
majority. This year the Uniou pro-
poses to do equally well'llbetter if pos~
sible. says the Soutliport Chronicle.
To that end it lips planned a iuhnber
of temperance rallies which are to be
held during the time between new and
election day. and at which stirring ad-
dresses and songs will be heard. de-
livered by earnest workers in' the tem'
perance field.
Of those. the first will be held in the
Green Farina church on Sunday next
at 4 o'clock. There will be singing by
alurge chorus choir and a number of
stining temperance addresses will be
made. Among those to speak will be
Rev. Mr. Fanton, of Bangatuck. Rev.
Mr. Backus and Rev. Mr. Mackenzie, of
Westport. and Rev. bk. Thomson of
Green Farm .
This will be followed by other rallies
at later dates, in various parts of the
town. and these, suplcmontcd by per-
sonal efforts. will, it is believer] by the
members of the Union, result in another
victory for no license.
However, the struggle will be far
more bitter this time. Last year the
license voters were caught iiappiug.as it
were; they did not estiiiinte properly the
strength of their opponents, and the re-
sult wasa great surprise ns'well as a
great disnpmintiuent to them.
Now. however. they are prepared to
fight vigorously and continuously, and
have in fact already made preparations
to carry the war into Africa.
On the one hand the people who are
pleased with the workings of the no
license system will work and vote to re-
tain that system. 0n the other, the
people who have been thrown out of busi-
ness or deprived of the easy facilities for
getting a drink that fonuerly existed,
will work and vote for a return of the
license party to power.
The contest will be close. and it can-
not now be said which party is likely to
be successful.

A story from Whit. Plains “Tells of s Burglsr's

while the Ewell woman rceouuoilorcd.

and took Eli by surprise. lie showed

self up. The Ewell woman then re-

attracted no little attention from South
Norwalk hayseedcrsus they went from
the depot to Uncus' wigwan in Wash-
ington street. Theair resounded with
warwhoops, expressive of the hearty
welcome extended to the visitors by the
South Norwalk Indians. After an hour
spent in the pleasuntest of fraternal
intercourse, the Danbury team pro.
needed with the work of instituting the
new huyloft, and never was work more

formed, as the ollieers can truth-fully
