W- C T. U. NOTES.
Following Is the declaration of principles:
We believe In the coming of Ills king
dnm whose service-is perfect freedom,
because'llls laws, written In our members
as well as in nature and in grace, arc per
fect, converting the soul.
We believe In the gospel of the Golden
Rale, and that each mai'i habits of
life should be an example safe and
beneficent for etery other man to follow.
We believe that God created both man
and woman in His own Image, and, there
fore, we belleie la ode standard of purity
for both men and women, ana la theequal
right of all to uold opinions and to express
the same In the home, on the platform.
In the pulpit and at thf ballot-box.
We believe in the prohibition of the
liquor traffic, the opium tad tobacco
traffic, the gambling housa and bannt of
Jhatnerwe belleteTn Irving wife; U an
eight-hour Ur. in codrti et eracMattoo ad
arbitration; in justice as oppoeil to greed
of gain; in "peace on earth nnd good will
to men."
We Iherefore formulate, and for our
selves adopt the following pledge, asking
oursHicrsandbrotbersota enmmou danger
and a common hope, to make conimoncnu&e
with us in working lis reasonable and
helpful precepts into the practice of every
day life:
PLEDGE.
"I hereby solemnly promHc, God helping
me, to abstain from all distilled, fermented
and malt liquors, including wine, beer nnil
cider, as a beverage, and to employ all
proper means t discourage the use of and
traffic In the same."
To roufirm and enforce the rationale of
IhU pledge, wo declare our purptae to
educate the ung; to form a better public
enllnient; to reform, so far as possible, by
religious, ethical and scientific means, the
drinking classes; to seek, the transforming
power of divine grace for ourselves anil all
for whom we wort, that they and we may
wilfully transcend no law or pure and
wholesome living; and finally we pledge
ourselves to labor and pray that all these
principles, founded upon the Gospel of
Clin.it, may be worked out Into,, the cus
toms of society and the laws of tUclaud.
One hundred and fifty thousand licensed
saloons In the United States; 2,600 V00
drunkards In the United States. The
drink bill of the United States for 1801
according to reliable cstimntes was $1,
200,000,000. The ceimuss oZ 1890 gives 73,045 as
the number of paupers In almshouses; the
average cost of thclrupport may be placed
at a low estimate at $100 per tar, making
a cost to the tax payers who support the
Institutions of $7,304.BO0. In the State
of New York the cost of outdoor rellif is
about two-thirds as much as the cost of
maintaining paupers in almshouses; and
If the same proportion holds good through
out the entire cnuntry, the total cost for
outdoor roller would lie about $4,609,700.
Three fourths of this pauperism Is esti
mated as due to Intemperance, on which
basis the cost of supiiortlng drink paupers
is $0,129,000 annually.

Death of Mrs. Wary Levy, the
Well-Kaown Medium.
SILE SAT FOE PUBLIC MEN
Abraham Lincoln I Said to Have
Been One of Her Visitors and Sbo
Foretold IllHAHMtHinatioii Warned
Garfield und Guvo Tests to tbo
Crowned II cuds of Europe
Mary C. Levy, the well known spiritual
medium, died Saturday, at her home. No.
487 Missouri avenue northwest. Though
she was ill ten months, the direct cause
of ber deatli was dropsy.
The funeral lias beeu set for Tuesday
afternoon. Tlie arrangements hare not
been completed, but tlie ceremonies will be
in charge or her spiritualist friends and will
be conducted conformably to the tenets of
her faith.
Black crepe flutters front the bell knob
and a mass of white flowers arc strewn
upon the somber casket which rests in
the room in which during many years this
medium conducted tests.
MEDIUM FOR THIRTY TEARS.
The spiritualistic career of Mrs. Ievy
covered a period of more than thirty years.
It was said last night that she Inclined to
the spiritual belief even in her girlhood.
Whoa her inedlumlstlc powers were dis
covered she began their development In a
private way. Yielding to tLe felicitation
or friends, and because of iropai red fortune,
she entered the field as a professional
test medium, nntl just now, that grief at
her demise is fresh in the memory ot her
friends and associates, they are telling
remarkable stories of the testa which she
has given. It Is said that she has granted
sittings to some of the most distinguished
people of the old and new worlds.
One story Is particularly striking. A
reporter for Tho Times was told that
Abraham Lincoln, during his term as
uresideut, was a patron of Mrs. Levy.
It is said that he came to tier twice a
week and consulted with ber ou matters
of slate. It Is said that the emancipation
proclamation was issued under her advice
and was not considered by Lincoln till
lie was so advised by the medium.
It was even said last i.ight that Mrs.
Levy foresaw that Lincoln would be shot
and told the President of the disaster which
was impending. He believed her, it is
said, but would not swene from his course
to avoid It, being, say the spiritualists, a
fatalist of the most fatalistic type.
MANY WARNINGS.
In her clairvoyant moments, Mrs. Levy
could read the future as well as earthly
mortals can tell of the past. It was in a
vision that she first saw the assassination
of Garfield and told her circle of friends
of the coming event. A warning was sent
to tlie President, but te either heeded it
not, or 'believed that what was to be
w.rahi'be.
Mrs. Levy visited Europe about ten
sears ago and her friends tell of remarkable
tests she gave to members of European
rojalty.
She was widow to W. Wesley Levy, a
prominent spiritualist, and has several
grown children, none ot whom share the
raltn of their parents. One of these
children Is a daughter who resides at
Portland, Ore., but who was in attendance
on her mother when death cam:.

KEPT II SECRET FOUR DHyS
Then the Bride Told Her
Mother She Was Married.
B0MANCE IN ANAC0STIA
31 1 ms Mildred Peck and Wallace Mar
dock Eloped to Itookvllle. Luxt Tues
day TJpou Learning; of the Fac
Thero Wum a Scene The Father
"Was Angry Ho iluy Ilelcut.
Mr. Wallace Murdock or No. 1201 Istrcct
northwest and Miss Mildred A. Peck, who
resides with herpareuts, Mr.and Mrs. Wil
liam Peck of Auacostla, were secretly
married at Kockvlllc, Md., Tuesday.
The newly married young people have
11 otknowneach other to very long.not more
thau six weeks. They met on a Licycle out
ing, and Cupid gut in his sure work from
the time or the introduction. Before many
d.ijs hud passed tho twoyoung people were
betrothed. Or course everything was kept
secret from the parents und relatives of
the two lutensted parties.
A 8ECREX MARRIAGE.
Tbey met frequently after the engijr.e
nieut, and it was Imally decided that they
shnuRt go to Rockviile and be secretly
married. 8 u on Tuesday Miss Peck cameto
Washington, presumably to do seme shop
plug. She was met by Mr. Murdock. The
couple took the llrst lialu for Rockviile.
After the arrival the yout.g ninn hustled
around, got a lltcrse. and took his bonny
bride-to-be to the residence of Rev. J. M.
Nevitt, where the two were made one in
tuu good old rashioned way.
Then the young couple, after the pastor
had given them his bksslng, returned to
Washington aud to tl,elr hemes an ir noth
ing of any great Importance had happened.
But whenever a girl, and a ptetty one
at that, gets married she Is anxious that
the news be heralded o'er mountain and
dale. The bride succeeded nobly In keep
ing the secret all to herself until Saturday
arternoon rolled around. At the time she
was conversing with her mother and hap
pened to make a chance remark, which led
Mrs. Feck to suspect something unusual.
She questioned her daughter, who. In a
flood of tears, confessed all and ircplored
forgiveness.
AN ANGRr-FATHER.
Ecryttiing might have gone along
smoothly but for the rather. Whcnheheard
ot the astonishing news helecame angry
and declared that the marriage should to
annulled. Things were beginning to Icok
pretty blue tor the bnde ot less than a week.
Io some way the groom learned that the
secret was out. He went post haste to the
house or Ins bride's father and enrieavored
to smooth over matters But ( It was a
difficult task that tlie" young man had
taken upon himself. Yet he succeeded so'
far that the rather consented that the rol
lowing notice be inserred'fn ycsterday.s
Times:
"MARRIED MURDOCK PECK Wal
lace Murdock ot Washington. D. C. and
Mildred A Peck of Anacostia, D. C.at.

J. M. Nevitt."
ALL MAT BE PEACE.
AH day jestcrday the groom pace;! up
and down the walk In from of bis bride's
home, while she cried sofUy-to-lierself, and
the father nursed his wrath. As the sua
was sinking behind thetiltlsMr. Peck went
out to tlie place where, his ubjcctiouable
son In-law was kecplug company with his
thoughts, uud told him that if, on their
going to Rockviile, be round that the knot
bad liecn tied iu the orthodox manner, be
guessed "he would bave'fo take him as a
son-in-law; he saw no other way out of
the predicament- The young man immedi
ately embraced the opportunity, and rather
nnd son-in-law at once took a train for
Rockviile.
When u Times reporter called at the resi
dence last eight tbey had nqt returned,
Mrs. Peck would onlysay that ber daughter
had been married. Soft "sobs could be
heard issuing from a room as the reporter
took his leave.

-Never mure ou earth agalu.
Borne is sad, oh, God. how dreary.
Lonesome, lonesome every spot.
Listening ror her voice till weary.
Weary, for we rear her not.
Our dear mother, must she leave us?
Mustwe place r-cr with the dead?
now can we bear the cold earth fall
Down upon our mother's head;
She was thoughtful, loving, tender
With ns. -each and every one.
Bow she sufTcred. but is now rejoicing.
Her Joy in heaven lias begun.
