The committee will the next mecting report at Jos. H. Curran, F. W. Burkhart and P. 8. Browning were elected to membership. The secretary reported that there are at present in the command 68 active, 170 honorary and 5 veteran members.

Frosty flavored and poor but- ter is difficult to sell, except at low prices. The egg market is almost lifeless; consumption never so limited. Receipts have been large and consequently the accumulation of stock is ex- cessive.

There are two factions in the Mount Olive, colored, Baptist church on 6th street northeast. ‘The differences between the factions were ven- tilated in the business meeting held last night, which broke up about midnight in a general row. Rev. 8. J. R. Nelson, pastor of the church, presided at the meeting. ‘It appeats that about & month ago at an election of officers Wm. Dorsey, I. Edwards, and N. Mor elected trustees to succeed Messrs, W. L. Car- ter, J.T. Crittenden, and Edw. Washington. ‘The defeated trustees declined to give up the books and were seconded by a number of mem- bers who favored them. Last night they at- tended the business mecting as usual, and the question of turning over the books ‘was dis- cussed, Several members were under disci- line for disobeying the orders of the church. Fie’ discussion’ was getting warm, and Cole: man Brooker was addressing the meeting in D. C., SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1889. SWEARING OFF. There are Lots of Penitents at this Time of the Year. THEY WANT TO TURN OVER 4 NEW LEAF AXD START AFRESH—THE MAJORITY OF TREM, HOW- EVER, DO NOT KEEP THRIR OBLIGATION— SOME INTERESTING CASES MENTIONED. “Tve done a good deal of swearing during the last three days,” said a justice of the peace to a Stax reporter yesterday. “What has caused the profanity?” asked the reporter. “Oh it hasn't been profanity on my part. I have been others, and they are men who want to start the year with good resolu- tions. Imean I've been administering oaths toa good many people who want to swear off from drinking.” “-Penitents increase at this season of the year I suppose,” said the reporter. “Yes,” was the reply, “‘and naturally 80, too. There is something about the dying of the old year and the birth of the new which suggests Sivertens ian crak Sir gee is year make op their minds to quit drinking until the 2d of January. They want to celebrate the ad- vent of the New Year; and. with the knowledge that they will be barred from indulgence after- ward they usually have one time on New Year day. Then the next day, or, if they are not feeling in condition on the second, the day after, they come and swear off. “What is the form of oath that youadmin- ister?” “Well, I the form, but it is like this: ‘I solemnly swear, in the presence of ighty God, that I will abstain from the use intoxicating liquors,wine or cider, for the iod of one year,’ “HOW LONG DO THEY KEEP THIS PLEDGE?” “Some I’m afraid keep it scarcely a day; some a week, some a month and some I think are thoroughly reformed through its agency. Most men respect the sanctity of an oath, It impresses them at the time they take it and I don’t think Ihave ever administered an oath of this kind to @ man who, at that moment, did not sincerely wish to keep it. But the appetite for drink is very strong and longer it has been indulged the weaker be- comes the power of a man’s will, and that is phy 8o many failto keep a pledge. I cannot tell whether a man will his oath or not. Whenever one comes to me and wants to swear off I grant his request in the earnest hope that it may prove effectual.” “Do you ever swear off a man when he is aronk?*” “Ihave never administered the oath toa man who was in such a condition as to be un- able to appreciate the step he was taking; but I believe the majority of who come to me are more or less under the influence of liquor. When a man makes up his mind to swear off after a big jamboree he don’t want to wait un- til he is cold sober before he takes the oath— he its to do it at once, for he seems to have an idea that this will enable him to straighten . quicker, Then, in some cases, men think they ought to have a farewell drink before they take the pledge. I've had them come to me and ask me to let them have the price of a drink before they took the oath. Of course I have always refused, but they argue that they Alm of al peri are entitled to that much. But I tell you that no matter what the man’s condition may be there is something in the very desire to take the oath that gives evidence of the existence of remnant of will-power. Inever refuse a man, no matter how shaky he may be, for I deeply sympathize in his voluntary effort to escape from the brink of the pit into which he seems about to fall.” MEN OF ALL GRADES. “What is the social standing of most of those who come to you?” “T have them of all grades, from the highest to the lowest. I've administered the oath to men high in official position and to the day laborer upon the streets; men worth a fortune and those not worth the price of a drink. They allcome to me voluntarily and I never ack any questions. If they are able to pay I charge them for administering the oath; if they have no money I make no charge.” “Do you ever keep track of your penitents?” ‘Sometimes. I remember one case which I think has finally worked a complete reforma- tion. The man had a good position and one which he could have kept as long as he lived had he behaved himself. He had a wife and one or two children, I forget which. But he would go on sprees. Every time he got off he would spend all the money he had with him and all he could borrow. He was popular. had many friends, and so when he came to his senses after his sprees he always found him- self deeply in debt. He would come and swear off and keep his pledge until he got square with the world, and then a little while after that he would get drunk again, He was dis- charged from his position two or three times, but was taken back. partly be- cause, except for his one failing, he was faithful and efficient, but mainly because he had some very influential friends. Finally he got drunk once too often, and had to lose his office. ‘Then he realized his situation—without work, in debt for his last spree, and nothing to give his wife andchildren. He took the pledge again, and this time he kept it. "He got some- thing'to do, and for three years I don’t think he has touched a drop of liquor. He don't make as much money as he used to do, but he sees more for it, He has moved into abetter house, and he is very comfortably fixed.” “Don’t they sometimes break out even after three years?” ‘MEN WHO RELAPSED. “Oh, yes, I remember several cases where the men had kept sober that long and even longer, and finally went to drinkingagain. One of the brightest men I ever knew, a member of your own profession, who. had been a hard drinker for a number of years, took the pledge, and for over four years wasa strictly total absti- nence man. He was a good talker, and used to make effective temperance speeches. Fi- nally after, as I have said,four yearsof sobriety he commenced drinking again, and from that time until his death he was never reliable. call to mind now three cases somewhat similar, although only one of the men is dead. Ayoung lawyer who had never drank reai hard, but waa a steady drinker, came to the conclusion that the appetite for liquor was be- coming fastened on him and he came and took the pledge. He kept it for three years and then under peculiar circumstances took a drink, That one drink started the old eet and he went ona week’s drunk. He didn’t swear off after that, but thought he would test his own will-power. He has been engaged in that test- ing operation now for over two years, with the result that about three times a year he goes off op a periodical spree. The sécond case was at of a government clerk who took the e pledge after a very protracted drank, and to the sur- prise of every one who knew him ki him whisky killed him, The last case is also that of a gov- ernment clerk who is a man of more than aver- age intelligence, and in many respects is one of the most attractive men I ever met. He had been a frightfally hard drinker, and lost place after place on account of that habit, when finally some of his friends took hold of him and induced him to swear off. He not only but he joined two or three tem; ance organizations, I think he kept lutely straight for about two years, an he commenced to drink on the sly, rie j war, to recuy half pected by him to be on its way to the seat of Tecuperate ‘with ite Tosd of fruit tie letoa Away on the hillside may be occasionally seea a small puff of white smoke, and alth far distant to hear a report. you know is the shot of a rifle, probably sending « last message to some unfortunate native.
