IlloU LL1 v 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 l"iig It took to drown. He had had a long tight with John Barle.vcorn and h had lost. Ho hnd nothing to live for. lie had lost everything he had to lose. fnmli, friends, business and health. The whisky had even taken nn his appetite for food, and now he could not ex en get whisky. So he nerved himself and crept closer to the bulkhead. The wave? mur mured Invitingly. A laborer uti his nny to work noticed the lolteier and Intel cepted him. There was a short conversation and tin two went oft together. They turned In at Ml Lombard street-Old St. Paul s Club-ami the man to whom death had colled was put to bed. Then, in the brutally direct parlance of the street, he "went to the mat." This Is almost an everyday occurrence nt Old St. Paul's. Sometimes every one of the 18 beds in the institution I occupied, and none but Inebriates are admitted. The club might be called tin- houo of the last chance. Its avowed object Is to give to the man who has lost cvervthlng. who has given up the fight against liquor, another chance. As a matter of tact, St. rauls gives each man four chanci- before It classes him ns a congenital drunkard or a pro; fesslonal panhandler. If he "tails i down the first, second or third time aftf the club has "put him on his feet" his spon sor is bound by hi pledge to bring him back. Putting u man mi his feet at Old St. Paul'" means Just that. Ho is fed find cared for until he is able to work. Then a job Is obtained for him and he Is kept until his tlrst p.ndai-. The club was founded flvi ears ago and Is said to be tho onlv Institution of Its kind In this countrv. Without endow ment, without appeal for charitv. without advertising save that given It bv word of mouth, it grows and extends each year the scope of its work, literal dragging men out of the gutter and helping them back to self-respect. The whole scheme of the club Is mar velously simple. With the exception of the house It occupies, which It donated by the episcopal City Mission, the or ganization Is self-supporting, vet there are no stated dues. Each 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 dollar bill. DRINK VICTIMS F.I.IC.IBI.K. Tt-t.ltib has about 1 members. Am man who has been or is a victim of the drink habit Is eligible to membership, and none who has not is admitted This ap plies even to the officers, with the single exception of the Rev. Dr H Cresson Mc Henry, tne president, who alo Is super i,.n,uni nf th Rnls.ronal Citv Mission. The other officers ot the club are !. H. Dougherty, treasurer and general man ager; Frank J. Price, vice president, and Thomas Collins and Frank Joyce, secre taries. Mr. Price also is the Sunday lec turer when he is in the city. Services are held at the. club every t-undnv after noon at o'clock This Sunday service Is an acknowledgment of the l-.plseopn! City Mission and Doctor Mellenry for the use o the house.

PORTLAND. Maine, Sept. 15.-In oe ot tho closest olcctlons the State has over known, the Democrnta yesterday elected Oakley C. Curtis Governor. The several thousands of voters who supported rtnosnvelt in tho 1012 election flocked to tho polls yesterday to back the Repub lican ticket, but thclf number was not motigh to down the Democrats. Owing to tho exceeding closeness of the voto no one could ho nt all confi dent of the result until the last ballot had been counted.

Tho four Congressmen, Ashcr C. Hinds, John A. Peters and Frank C. Guernsey, Republicans, and Daniel J. McGUIIcuddy, Democrat, were re-elected, according to the same returns ns those received in the governorship contest. The missing towns nro too small to change tbe count, al though the plurality may ne reauccu somewhat. Tho returns Indicate that tho Demo crats have made gains In tho Legislature. The representative districts reporting have elected 4G Democrats, 42 Republicans and 2 Progressives, Just the reversal ot tho Democratic and Republican count ot two years ago, while tho Progressives at that time reported three. Tho Senate ap nears to be about the same ns two years ago. The Houso elected then was made up of 72 Republicans, S2 Democrats and 7 Progressives.

IB.-Dr. Martin 0 Brumbaugh, Republican candidate for Governor, thin morning Issued tho follow Ing statement In roply to tho offer of lh Philadelphia North American to suppott him if ho would repudlato Penroselsm. "My attention has been called to a 1st. ter addressed to mo nnd appearing In a newspaper. I havo hnd no copy of this sent me. "In this letter It nppears that the wrlttr, under tho assurance, ot a proffeicd sup! port to me, seeks an excuse to give sup. port to the opposition. Each one has a perfect right In this campaign lo follow whatever guidance ho may select, but I absolutely refuse to bo mado a party to nny political bargain or treachery. "It seems that some pcoplo nro unabli to understand tho language In my pr. mnry platform. I Infer this from statement of tho editor that oven he, trained In tho use of language, finds my statements vague and Indefinite. It Is, howevor, comforting that the voters sen orally seemed to understand my lang uage and comprehend my motives. To mnko clear my position in tho several matters referred to In the letter above cited, I wish to say: "First. I stand for every stntcmont In my primary platform. I shall use my host endeavor to keep faith with the' people. The things I stand for I shall continue to stand for nnd work for. "Second. I have no understanding with anybody to do or not to do anvthlng In any way nt nny time In this campaign while In ofllcc. I know no boss. I never will. Even a newspaper cannot boss me. My hands are open, my heart Is free, my mind holds no political promise. I have one unswerving purpose to live with my conscience whether I hold olhce or not. "Thiid. I havo declared for local option and stand by that declaration. I havo assured people In n score of uttcrancei that I shall do all I honorably can to promote legislation favoring local option. What 'more .can an honest man say or do?" "Fourth. I have always been a friend of childhood. I have given my life In a large way to conserve and promote the strength, tho education the moral wel fare of all our people. I have had many yours of practical experience in dealing with the labor of children in this State. Xo man has had n linger or more sacred relation to the problem. I refer to my record. 1 shall allow no one. even !n academic discussion, to stand more surely for tho best possible legislation for all our workeis. men, women nnd children. "As a te ichor I hnve- found It necessary at times to repent what has already been stated. Some pupils learn only after such repetitions. Some refuse to learn even then, because they are resolved not to do so. "In the May pilmarles ;33,nnfl people ot Pennsylvania, all legiill.v qualified voters, gavo mo tholr suppott aa a candidate on the Republican ticket I cair their brief. I shall do so to the end. The oiIkt Republican candidates also cam a direct brief from the people who supported thera nt the primary. I shall lend myself to no lender or gioup or factum of an sort.
