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 nodiln wreck of a. man shuffled along
the liver front and wondered how lone
It took to drown. He had had a Ions
fight with John Barleycorn-awl h had
lost. He had nothing to live for. He had
lost everything he had to lose, family,
irlends, business and health The whtskv
liad even taken away his appetite for
food, and now he could not even pet
whisky. So he nerved himself and crept
closer to the bulkhead. The waves mur
mured invitingly.
A laborer on his way to work noticed
the lulteter mid Intercepted him. There
a hp a short conversation and the two
went off together. They turned In nt U t
Ixombnnl street-Old Pt. Paul's Club-and
the man to whom death had called was ,
put to bed. Then. In th brutally direct
pnilmicc tf the street, he -went to the

Opportunity to vote In the most import
nnd nono but Inebriates are numuieii.
The club might be called the house of the
last chance. Its avowed object l to Rive
to the man who has lost overylhlng. who
lias given up the fight against liquor,
another chance.
A a matter of fact. St. Paul s give
ach man four chances before It classes
him as a congenital drunkard or n pro
fessional panhandler. If he "fulls down
the llrst. second or third time after the
club has "put him on his feet" his spon
yor Ib bound by his plotlgo to brine
-him back. rutting a man on his feet
at Old St. raul's means just that H"
1s fed and cared for until he is able to
work. Then a Job is obtained for him and
ho is kept until his flrt jiavdar.
The club was founded tlvo jenrs ape
and is said to be the only institution of
Its kind In this coimtrt. Without endow
ment, without appeal for charity, without
advertising wive that given it by word
of mouth. It prows and .'Ntends each year
the scope of its work. Hfrallv dragging
men out of the putter and helping them
back to self-repoct.
The wholo scheme of the club Is mar
vclously simple With the exception of
the house It occupies, which Is donated
by the f.plscopal City Mission, the or
ganisation Is sedf-supporting, yet there
are not stated dues. F.nch member con
tributes what ho thinks he can afford.
No question" are asked and anything is
accepted from a five-cent piece to a five

hinges on rct;lstratlon. Today and Octo
ber A are the only opportunities for elec
tors to qunllfy to vote In this election
on November 3. The failure to register
means the loss of franchise rights on that
day.
All parties are awake to the Importance
of a larpe reclstration for this November
election. Among the reform leaders the
slogan today is "For the dtfeat of Pen-rnie-a
larce registration." In conse
quence, of this, every effort has been
made by the ward workers to impress on
oaeh elector the fact that his vote is
vital to tli- political welfare of Penn
sylvania. "Failure to register means throwing
away tho sreatest oppoitunlty in years
to defeat Penrose," declared Albert E
Turner, a banker and a member of the
CommltUo of One Hundred, this morning.
Kraneix A. Lewis. Sr.. who Is alo prom
inent In reform politics in thl3 cit, said:
"We must hne a Inrge registration, since
a largo registration means a danger sig
nal for tho organization, which In this
election is equhalent to Penroselsm."
I'lvlMon registrars will sit In every
polling plare In the city today from 7 a.
m. to 10 a m.. and from I p. m. to 10
P m. 12 very citizen to register must dis
play a receipt for poll or property tax paid
dnce Novembers. 1312 These receipts may
be houglit at the polling places from the
registrar, wno haa been appointed a deputy
tax collector.
Naturalization papers or a certified copy
of them will be necessary for tho regis
tration of any naturalized 'citizen who Is
voting in a dlvMon for the flrt time. Any
person -lalmlng citizenship by reason o"f
his father's naturalization must produce
his father's papers or n certified copy of
them, or slse make affidavit that he 'was
under 21 when his father hecam" a citizen
and that he l now unable to produce his

Th heaviest registration ever recorded
In this city was 2M.."r.6, in 1911, wh-n
Biankenburg was elected Mayor.
The importance of this election, both
from the point of offli.'-s to ho filled and
the 'ssues to be determined, have led the
party leaders to express tho hope that the
total registration this jear will exceed
that in 1811.

When work Is obtained for him, aftsr he

The rnto of payment is Hka the dues
anything the mart tan afford.
The offiters and members of tho club.
however, are rather proud of the fact
that they are seldom "do ible-crossed."
They fight shy of the professional b-im,
and it Is the claim of tha oflleers that
this type ttiolds the Institution. Oc.
caslonally theie is an exception, but not
tieD' NO DISCRIMINATION.
On the membership roll of the St Paul's
club today are men earning ss high as
jlj.OCO a year. There are others earning
ts or W a week. The club 18 a pure
nomocracy and U self-governing. The
man who earns J9 a. week or who Is still
In the convalescent stage from a long
pree and earns nothing mingles on equal
terms with the J1I.090 man with the gold

Ths gold button Is symbolic of five

the club has to offer, and the man who

The club publishes a monthly magazine

of this is generally suspended In the sum

and professional beggars who Impose on
the organization at times, he considers
this figure fairly satisfactory.
As Instance of the club's statement
that it is nonsectartan, It is pointed out
that Dr Mcllenry, the President, Is an

and Mr Dougherty ts a Catholic. About

MAINE DEMOCRATIC
BY 2G98 AFTER
EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature Three
of the Four Congressmen
Republicans.
PORTIAND, Maine, Bept. lB.-In one
of Ui closest elections the State haa ever
known, the Demoorats yesterday elected
Oakley O. Curtis Governor. The several
thousands of voters who supported
Roosevelt In the 1912 election flocked to
the polls yesterday to hack the Repub
lican tlckot, but thelf number was not
enough to down the Domocrnts.
Owlnff to the exceeding closeness of
tho vote no one could bo nt all conn
dent of the result until tho Inst ballot
had been counted. The returns from all
tho cities, towns and plantations gave
Curtis, Democrat, 58,877; William T.
Haines, Republican, 56,179, nnd Gardner,
Progressive, 17,147; Curtis' plurality, 260S.
Tho four Congressmen, Asher C. Hinds,
John A. Peters and Frank E. Guernsey,
Republicans, nnd Daniel J. McQllllctiddy,
Democrat, were re-elected, according to
the same returns as those received In the
governorship contest. Tho missing towns
are too nmoll to change tho count, al
though tho plurality may bo reduced
somewhat.
The returns indicate that the Demo
crats have made gains In tho LcgiBlatuio.
The representative districts reporting
have elected J6 Democrats, 42 Republicans
nnd 2 Progressives, Just tho reversal or
tho Democratic nnd Republican count of
two years ago, while the Progressives at
that tlmo reported three. The Senate ap
pears to bo about the same ns two years
ago. The House elected then was made
up of 72 Republicans, 82 Democrats and
7 Progressives.
The enrly returni favored Curtis, then
tho tide turned toward Haines, but after
midnight Portland and Bangor wero heard
rrom, nnd the formor failed by 1000 to
keep up tho pace set by tho rest of the
State, while Bangor fell off completely
on Haines' votes.

many nnd Austria-Hungary. The im
ports from thoso two countries Into Can
ada amounted In round numbers to ,.
000,000 annually. It was also pointed out
that tho Imports from France, Belgium
and Itussla, whloh for the time being
are as effectively cut oft ns If they wer
forbidden, amounted approximately t
J20,000,000 a year. So this prohibited and
Interrupted Import trado of Canada totali
$36,000,000.
"It Is reasonable," Chief Bnrtlett says,
"to assume that Canada will be In the
market for substitutes for tho goods
which mako up this total. That thsy
will havo to be Imported Is a rcasonabls
assumption. It is hardly likely that the
CAiindlan manufacturers at this time at
In a position to mako up the deflclt,
though thoy may seize tho moment to
develop along the necessary manufactur
ing linos. This leaves two alternatives
importation from Great Britain or from
tho United States. It Is hardly reason
able to expect that British manufac
turers will be able to take advantage of
tho present opportunity. On the other
hand, It would not bo surprising if Im
ports from tho mother country, whloh
amounted to $139,&l6,3ofl last year, should
bo temporarily curtailed."
Tho present opportunity for American
manufacturers in Canada Is principally
in tho lines here enumerated. And to
mako the information of practical value
the importation on tho lines given from
cacli of the belligerent countries are also
given for the fiscal year ending March
