Captain Hopkins has boon tho only man who has rolled u consistent ly strong: game, with tho exception of Alelster. Tho latter is a. recruit tiom South Scranlon and throughout the season has crowded his captain for tho Illinois.

A number of tho members present criticized the gentleman lu very strong1 tonus, Mrs. Downing, tho president, asserted that It was "an Insult to name uu intoxicating drink after such a noble. Christian, temperance worker as .Mis. Nation or after any woman, in fact." Mrs. Emily P. 1!. litmus tead a very thoughtful paper on Prances E.
