his kind remarks. He then presented
his annual address. which was as fol-
lows:
To the Otllcer and Delegates of the
Thirty- -F'0urt Annual ConVention
of the C. T. A. 11.. of Connecticut:
, Tire purpose of this assembly is for
the bettering of manhood in society.
The means to this noble end is total
abstinence from all stimulants that in-
toxlcstes. it seems ntra'n‘g'e that reas-
coin: men should he forced or even
call upon to practice the virtue of to-
tal abstinence; Their reason should
of its very self inculcate this virtue
noon them. For why should beings
sifted with the divine faculty of know—
lag good and bad. of reasoning what
is hurt ill to their temporal and eter-
nal w fare. of perceiving the awful
ruin that alcoholic beverages inflict
open society in all its forms. be slow
to enlist themselves under the banner
of the virtue that puts to flight this
terrible enemy of our race? it seems
absurd that so many good meaning and
right living men and women are nond-
verse to total.,abatinencc.- Yet they
know in their heart that the only stay
againstdrunlienness and all its train
it evilfollomers is in keeping away en.
tirely from the nasal alcoholic drinks.
These men and women are in a great
dressers total abstalsers themselves
and yet they will not lend their names
and influence to the furtherance of the
temperance cause. Can there be any-
thing dishonorable in being known as
it Total Abstalser. Does total absti-
nence change the nature of Iran or
woman? -. Does it curtail man‘s law-
ful freedom? Does the practice of it
of necessity open new forms of vice
for tbosesvho place themselves under
its influence? Is not the total ab-
stainer at least as good a citizen and
and surely for better than the iippler
vr druakard'i The answer to these
questions is certainly plain and easy.
1nd assuredly most favorable to to-
tal abstinence. Any, one of correct
and honest opinions must give the true
answer to them and thereby give hoa-
or to the cause which has brought us
ingethar on this occasion. Total ab-
stinence is then a virtue to be practic-
ed. -if not out of absolute duty. cer-
tainly out of charity 'for our fellow
-.naa who my not be gifted with so
strong a character or who may be
tempted more violently by the demon
of drink. . it is. an honorable virtue
then. one that should always bring to
the one who praet‘icoe it a laudable
bride. it is a useful virtue too. es-
pecially in our time and certain. For
no where else in the world don the

as a retail business can afford as many

only disgn'ice of the American insti-

For Elegance and Comfort.
Two remarkably elegant Chairs have appeared in the
Furniture Store within the last day or two. A Virginia
Fireside Chair and Rocker.
They are large, deep. and
commodious, the frames of solid Mahogany with high
backs and broad arms, backs and seats upholstered with
Titian velvet in Roman green. .
These Chairs are correctly named, for in a drawing-
room or library with an open fire they are ideal.
Tire
case and bodily comfort to which they contribute cannot
be estimated. They fit just right and for dreaming by the
fireside nothing more luxurious could be imagined. Come
and look at them. Fourth floor, take the elevator.
Refrigerators—Specie I .
We have eight Reirigera tors left which are veritable
bargains.
There are several sizes. all oak-finished, with
galvanized linings. correctly planned and made according
to the latest hygienic ideas.
In price they range from
$7.25 to $11.50. Formerly they were from $9.00 to $16.50.
which figures show reductions from $2.00 to $5.00.
There are remaining from the summer stock several
high grade Refrigerators with hard wood cases and glass
or opalite linings.
Also two or three Opalite boxes
which are immaculate in appearance. the very perfection
of cold storage closets. We ask your inspection as t'. :y are
very desirable. and are 310.0 0, 5%
