PRICE ONE CENT
ALWAYS A CHANCE
FOR DRINK VICTIM
IN ST. PAUL'S CLUB
Derelicts Lifted From Seem
ingly Hopeless Degrada
tion and Made Useful and
Self-respecting Citizens.
A sodden wreck of a man shuffled alone
the river front and wondered how long
It took to drown. He had hnd a long
light with John Barleycorn and he had
lost. Ho had nothing to HVo for. He hnd
lost everything ho had to loc, family,
friends, business and health. The whisky
had even taken awny his appetite for
food, and now he could not even Ret
whisky. So he nerved himself and ctept
closer to the bulkhead. The waves mur
inured Invitingly.
A laborer on his way to work noticed
the loiterer and intercepted him. There
was a short conversation and the two
went off together. They turned In at 4U
Lombard street Old St. Paul's Club and
tho man to whom death hud called was
put to bed. Then, In the brutally direct
parlance of tho street, he "went to the
mat."
This Is almost nn everyday occurrence
at Old at. Paul's. Sometimes every one of
the 18 beds In the Institution Is occupied,
and none but Inebriates are admitted.
The club might be culled the house of the
last chance. Us avowed object is to give
to the man who has lost everything, who
lias given up the light against liquor,
another chance.
As a matter of lact, St. Paul's gives
each man fnui chances before It classes
him as a congenital drunkard or a pro
fessional panhandler If he "fall down"
the first, second or third tim" .lfter the
club has "put him on his feet" h! spon
sor Is bound liv hi pledge to bilng
him back. Putting a man on his f"t
at Old St. Paul's means Just that. H.
Is fed and cared for until hf Is able to
work. Then a Job 1 obtained for him and
he Is kept until his first payday.
Tho club was founded five years agi'
and Is said to be the only institution of
Its kind In this count rv. Without endow
ment, without appeal for charity without
advertising save that given It b word
of mouth, it grow 4 and tcnds each year
the scope of Its work, literally dragging
men out of the gutter and helping them
back to self-re.speet.
The whole scheme of the cluh is mar
velously simple. With the exception of
the house It occupies, which is donated
by the episcopal I'uv Mission, the or
ganisation Is fcodf-suppoiting, yet there
aro not stated dues. Kacn member coti
, .tvmtnn what he thinks he can afford.
""Ko questions are asked and anything U
accepted from a five-cent piece to a rtve
dollar bill.
DRINK VICTIMS ELIGIBLE
The rlub has about 100 members. Any
man who has been or Is n victim of tho
drink habit is eligible to membership, and
none who has not is admitted. This ap
plies evm to the others with the single
Nceptlon of the Rev. Dr. H. Creaaon Mc
Henry. tne president, who also Is buper
Intcndent of the Episcopal Cttv MUhUjii.
Th other msmbtra of the club are 1". II.
Dougherty, treasure! and gentr.il .nuu

Thomas Collln and Prank Ji.w-. 'n--tarles.
Mr. Price also la the Sunday lee
tutor when he is In the cltv Service
aro held at th club every Sunday affr
noon ut 4 o'clock. This Sunday service
Is In acknowledgment to the Episcopal
City Mission and Doctor Mellenry for th'
use of the houo. It was. ihti onli stipu
lation majo by th clergyman when h"
turned oer tho building for the use of
the club. , , .
Old St. Paul's also has a superintendent,
but one man rnre! stays long m this
olllce. Sometimes u man hulds it nlv
ono day. The sup- rlmndent is u man
who has been brought In off the siietts

MAINE DEMOCRATIC

EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature Three
of the Four Congressmen
Republicans.
PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 15,-In one
of tho closest elections the State has ever
known, the Democrats yesterday elected
Oakley C. Curtis Governor. The several
thousands of voters who supported
Hoosevclt In tho 1012 election flocked to
tho polls yesterday to back tho llcpub
llcan ticket, but thclf number was not
snough to down tho Democrats.
Owing to tho exceeding closeness of
tho voto no one could be at all confi
dent of tho result until the last ballot
had been counted. Tho returns from nil
the cities, towns und plantations gave
Curtis, Democrat, 53.ST7; William T.
Haines, Republican, K.17D, and Gardner,
Progressive, 17,117; Curtis' plurality, 2C0S.
Tho four Congressmen, Asher C. Hinds,
John A. Peters nnd Frank n. Guernsey,
Republicans, and Daniel J. McGltllcuddy,
Democrat, were rc-clcctcd, aceoullng to
the same teturns as those lccelved In the
governorship contest. Tho missing towns
are too small to chnngo the count, al
though tho plurality may bo l educed
somewhat.
The returns Indicate that the Demo
crats have made gains In tho Legislature.
The repiesentatho districts reporting
have elected W Democrats, 12 Republicans
nnd 2 Progressives, ju.st tho teversal of
the Democratic and Republican count of
two yoais ago, while the Progicsslves at
that time icpoitcd thtee. The Sonata ap
pears to bf about the t-nme as two yctua
ago. The House elected then was made
up of 72 Republicans, 52 Democrats and
7 Progressives.
The eaily returns favored Curtis, then
the tide turned toward Haines but after
midnight Portland and Ilangor were heard
fio'ii, mid the foimer failed by 1000 to
