What are the Temperance Organiza
tions Going to do ?
In the olden time of temperance ngl
tation, all remember what a stir the
temperance organizations made Scarce
week passed that theie was not
a “temperance meeting” announced
with some distinguished speaker to d
dress the public on the “evils of intem
perance.” What lias become of all of
these temperance organizations ? We
hear no s< un i from them. When it
was fashionable to patronize saloons
in the light of open day these enthusi
astic organizations were rampant in
their efforts and inssisting in their
loud demands tor the suppression of
intemperance and the al olitlou of the
‘Liquor traffic.’'
But now, when public sentiment has
forced legislatures to pass prohibitory
laws, these laws are in danger of lying
cn the Statute books as a dead letter. If
there ever was a time when the temper
ance organizations and the church
es could advance temperance work
which would be lasting, and secure the
rich harvest that has been produced by
those years of incessant and self sacri
ficing labor, it is now. Before the
Maryland legislature meets the temper
ance element of Cecil should be consol
idated and some earnest work done in
the way of preparing amendments to
the present Local Option bungled law,
and our members instructed by the
overwhelming majority of their con
stitutentsin regard to their wishes.
The members could then go to work
with an earnest purpose, knowing that
they would he supported in the move
ment to eliminate the obnoxious fest
ers from the law. Is there not enough
temperance in the county to organize
such a movement ?

The Death of Vice President Hen
dricks. and of the King of Spam,
reach us simultaneously.
Vice-Pre.-ident Thomas A Hendricks
died very suddenly at a few minutes
before 5 o’clock, on Wednesday even
ing, at his residence in North Tennes
see street, Indianopolis, Ind.
The Vice-President had contracted a
severe cold while in Chicago a day or
two before his death, but appeared to
have almost recovered from its effects ;
but the day before his death he grew
worse and tire family physician was
called in. During the day he had a se
vere chill which prostrated him very
much. The doctor did not think there
was any immediate danger, and during
his visit in the afternoon he and the
Vice-President talked freely on several
topics, among others, his departure for
Washington city, where he would en
ter upon his duties in the Senate.
A few minutes before 5 o’clock the
physician and Mr. Hendricks were
talking, the latter reclining on the bed,
when he said:
“I am free at last.”
“What do you mean V” asked the
doctor. “I mean I am free from pain,”
was the answer. The doctor then left
the house, and Mrs. Hendricks was
summoned down stairs to see a caller.
This was the first time she had left him
during the day, as she had refused to
see any one before bis assertion that he
was free from pain dispelled any uneas
iness that she had felt about his condi
tion, and when she left him it was
with the assurance that she would be
absent but-a few moments. She was
-detained longer than was expected, and
when she returned to the room she
found that Mr. Hendricks was dead.
The end had come peacefully and
quietly. On his face there was no indi
cation of pain or suffering. HU eyes
were only half closed, as if in a gentle
sleep. There was no one in his r-oni
when lie died, and only Mrs. Hen
dricks the servants, and a caller were
in the house. Mrs Hendricks was al
most distracted with grief, and could
not restrain her feeliugs. The house
was soon filled with friends, while a
crowd collected around the tra e, and it
was found necessary to refuse them ad
mission.
Mr. Hendricks was the fifth Vice-
President wh<> has died in office, Clin
ton, Gerry, King and Wilson being
the other four.
Death of the Kins- of Spain..
Throughout Monday night King Al
fonso had spasmodic fits, the result of
fever and debility. Six doctors from
Madrid and two physicians of TCI Pardo
were in constant attendance. They
decided on Tuesday morning that
King was in a dangerous condition,
fits contfnued throughout Tuesday,
and the King died at 8.45 o’clo k Wed
nesday morning. The Pope’s bened
diction arrived before he expired. All
the officers of State and the Cabinet
Ministers, except the Minister of War
and the Minister of the Interior, w> re
present at the moment of dissolution.
The Cabinet met immediately, and the
Qneen was appointed Regent.
The Lecture.
Boported for the Midalkd Journal.
The lecture announced to take
place in the Friends Normal Insti
tute was delivered by Mr. Reuben
Haines on Tuesday evening 24th inst.
Mr. Haines commenced by referring
to Rising Sun and vicinity as his
birth place, and as the most beauti
ful spot on earth, which impressed his
audience very favorably. The Lect
turer, commenced at New York as his
starting point, describing the Ocean
voyage. “The first three days of the
voyage you think every minute you
are going to die and the last you
think you will never die." After
reaching Queenstown, and giving a
description of the city, he yisited
Cork, Ireland a most beautiful city;
thenee to Kilkenny lakes, three in
number, saucer shaped, and noted for
their beauty. While in this vicinity
he visited the cabin of the famous
Catharine Karnev, —“Kate Karney”
—she was the woman who re.-cued
with bedquilts tied together, a man
who had fallen into the pool that St.
Patrick drowned the snake in. She
got the man as her reward. On visit
ing the cabin Mr. H. said he was very
much impressed with it from the fact
that on opening the door a large calf
sprang out and struck him square in
the stomach. From there he visited
Edinburg, the houses being built of
marble making the city look very
beautiful. Here he visited the old
Parliament house, where Daniel O’-
Connel, the frmous Irish agitator’s
voice once rang. The people there
still think when the wind is sighing
that they can hear O’Connell’s voice.
From Edinburgh lie went to Paris,
the most beautiful city in the world.
He described the beauties of the city,
and Napoleon Bonapart’s tomb. The
body of the great General is first in
a leaden coffin than a wooden and
lastly a black marble. The place is
visited every day between three and
four o’clock, by two old soldiers who
cry over his coffin. Mr. H. gave one
of them a franc (about twenty cents)
and he cried over him, and then he
gave the other a franc and he cried
a little, so he concluded there was
some fraud about it. From Paris he
visited Pompeii. The Lecturer had
maps with him from which he ex
plained the various points ofinterest-
Pompeii was destroyed in the year
79 A. D. The eruption of Vesuvius
commencing on the 22nd of Noyem
ber. The name Pompeii was given to
the ruined city because it was found
cut in the stone arch over one of the
gates. The English government has
the contract of uncovering the ruined
eity, and the treasures found are de-

vided between it, and the Italian gov
ernment. The Lecturer gave a very
interesting description of the various
objects and places of interest which
had been exhumed in the buried city.
The Lecture was very entertaining
and instrective.
The Principal of the School Mr
\V. F.Overholt, on behalf of the au
dience tendered a vote of thanks to
the Lecturer. Notwithstanding the
very inclement state of the weather,
the room was comfortably filled by
an appreciative audience.
CONOWINGO ITEMS.
The only excitement in our vicinity
at the present time is caused by the
squeal of the fac hog as he is gathered
in, and the race for the Turkey Gob
bier. Grubb, James & McCullough of
Summer Hill have made sad havoc
of this our National bird this week,
preparing for a Thanksgiving market
We have sleight of hand perform
ance in our town now, feats of magic
that would make the great wizard of
the North bang his head, or rather
hang hiniaelf by the head, to witnes.
Tricks like this, pouring whiskey,
Tonic, Lager and water all from the
same liottle at the same time, and men
are mesmerized or paralyzed, without
knowiug anything about it. The
Oak wood Lyceum was crowded last
Friday evening to hear the discussion
of the question Crawford county vs.
Delegate system of nominating candi"
dates. The Ook wood Orators and the
big Tecumsah from Conowingo spread
themselves and put in their biggest,
licks, but were only enabled to gain
the victory by soliciting assistance
from the young Demosthenes of Oak
wood, the judges decided that the Craw
ford county side were the best debaters.
At the next meeting vocal and instru
mental music will be a prominent
feature. The coal business continue
good. Tlie duck shooting has been
only moderate so far. Mrs. Caroline
Alexander is still under the care ofher
physician.
