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

exception of the Rev. Dr H Cresson Mc

The other officers ot the club are !. H.
Dougherty, treasurer and general man

Thomas Collins and Frank Joyce, secre

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!

BY 2698 AFTER
EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature Three
of the Four Congressmen
Republicans.
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. The returns from nil
the cities, towns and plantations gave
rurtls. Democrat. BS.377: William T.
Haines, Republican, 56,179. and Gardner,
Progressive, 17,117; Curtis' plurality, 2633.
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.
Tho early leturns fa voted Curtis, then
the tide turned townid Haines, but after
midnight Portland nnd Hangor were heard
from, and the former failed by 1000 to
keep up the pace set by the rest of the
Slate, while Uangor fell oK completely
on Haines' votes.

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.
As I have from the outset, I shall lo the
last go stcadil on in my firm determina
tion to give the people of Pennsylvania a
clean, capable and conscientious admin
istration of the olllce to which 1 hope the
oteis in November will elr. t me
