THE INEQUALITIES OF LAWS I

Standard of Purity for Both Sexes.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 10. Tho first national
purity congress, under tho nusplcos of tho
American Purity alliance, convened In this
city last night nnd will contlnuo In ses
sion for threo days. Social reformers from
all parts of tho country nro present us dolo
Batos. President Powell, in opening tho
int-titlng, said thnt the objects of tho con
gress are: "Tho repression of vloe, tho
bettor protection of tho young, tho rescue
of tho fallen, to extend tho Whito Cross
work among men, and to proclaim tho law
of purity as equally binding upon men
and wdmon." The speaker declared that
"ago of consent" statutes discriminate
against girlhood and In favor of Immoral
jnon, anil are for tho most part a disgrace
to tho sevoral states of the Union. Ho ox
pressed tho hopo that tho present congress
would havo tho effect of emphasizing tho
necosslty for a single standard of purity
for both sexes.
"Thoro Is no religion," said ho, "whero
therois not purity of thought and life.
Impurity Is tho death of religion. It shuts
the eyes from soelng God, seals tho car
against any holy affections, and buries out
of reach all desires for spiritual assocla
clations. Wo aro unflinching In our atti

in ovory nobla relation, wo still havo ten
der compassion for all who will return
and be the fountain of iunoeonco and

DELICATE OPERATION.
A Clot of Wood Ucinovcd I'rom Mm,
Doruhiirh's Drain
Mrs. Elizabeth Dornbacli is at the Medico
Chirurgir.il Hospital in Philadelphia and a
very delicate operation was performed yester
day afternoon. During tho Are in town on
.Tun 1st, hut, the property of Mrs. Dorn
hach's husliand was destroyed. From that
nlglit Mrs. Dornbach's mind seemed to givo
way and her caso grew moro serious daily.
8ho was finally removed to tho asylum at
Schuylkill Haven, hut later tlio family
decided to havo an examination made at tho
Philadelphia hospital named above.
When tho patient arrived at tho hospital
the lixamining physicians and surgeons con
cluded there was a clot on tho brain and they
removed a part of the skull on tho left Hide of
the crowh, disclosing a clot of blood, as they
had supposed, causing a pressure on tho
bmln. Tho clot was removed and at last ac
count Mrs. Dombach was makimi good
progress towards recovery. Tho theory
is tliat during Mrs. Dornbach's intense
excitement on the night of tho fire
a blood vossol hurst and caused the
clot to form. Tho unfortunate woman
had Buffered intensely, hut now that tho
oporatlou has been removed it is expected
that alio will ho as strong mentally as ever
she was before tho unfortunate occurrence.
Should nothing unforeseen happen Mrs.
Dornbacli will return to town in about three
weeks.

Enrollment the Largest In the
History of the System.
OYER THREE HUNDRED PUPILS !
The Schools for Girls Promises to be a
Success Active Steps Taken to Main
tain Discipline in AH the
Schools Attendances.
Tho night schools wero opened last night
with a very encouraging attendanco In all
quarters. Tho enrollment was tho largest
for tho first night in the history of the
system and a prosperous season is looked for.
Tho attendance at tho girls' night school in
tho Main street building is especially gratify
ing and tho School Directors hopo to make it
very popular. It was understood among the
Directors that in case tho enrollment in this
school ou the first night did not reach 20 the
project would he abandoned, hut upon tho
opening ol the school the enrollment ran up
to 28, and there nro a number of girls who
have tickets of admission, but did not attend.
Tho total enrollment for the night up to
seven o'clock, half an houraftertheoponing,
was close to 300. After that hour there wero
many now arrivals and Superintendent'
Whitakcr was at work In his olllco until nine
o'clock granting tickets of admission, so that
tho averago attendance at tho ten schools is
considerably over 30. Tho School Hoard
decided at its last meeting that when tho
averago attendance falls below 20 the bchools
in which tho attendanco decrensos to that
point shall be closed.
From the developments of last evening it
is not likely that there will bo any necessity
to enforce the rule. With hut ono or two ex
ceptions all the pupils seemed desirous to
profit by the advantage held out to them.
The exceptional casos arose in tho White
street and Coal street buildings. School
Director Conry happened to be on hand in the
former building and ell'cctually nipped in the
bud tho aspirations of a boy who was inclined
to give the teacher lessons. Thus far the
boys in the Coal street building havo proved
the nfost unruly, but as tho School Hoard is
determined to enforce the same discipline as
that maintained in tho day schools the
boys who are inclined to bo sportive will bo
brought to their senses within a short time.
Tho Coal street boys held things in high
hand for a while, but the appearance of Con
stable liolin had a good effect and there was
no troublo after.
Thero is some complaint about insufficient
light in some of the school rooms, but that
defect will bo remedied hy tho time tho
schools open this evening.
Tho School Hoard is desirous that tho
night polico shall give what time they can
sparo fo the schools and prevent unruly con
duct hy attendants and interference by boys
loitering outside.
Tho schools remained in session two hours
and a half last night and that will be the
schedule time unless the collieries fall back
to working three-quarter, or half time, when
tho sessions will bo reduced to two hours.
The enrollments at tho opening of tho
schools wero as follows: West street Miss
Lydia E. Eisenhower, 22 ; Miss Annie E.
McNeils, 21. Lloyd street Miss M. Jessio
Glover, 23 ; Sliss Cora R. Sterner, 40. Main
street (Girl's School) Miss Sadio Haugh, 28.
White btrect Sliss Annie R. Rlcrtnan, 20;
Miss Ida C. Lewis, 27. Union street Mr. P.
F. O'Donuell, 35 Coal street Miss Bridget
McGulre, 35. Turkey Run Miss Maggie A.
Campboll, 22.
It will bo observed that tho enrollment in
Miss Stcrner's school is from 30 to 50 higher
than that of the other schools, but a readjust
ment will bo mado after the system is in
operation a few nights. Tho enrollments of
tho other schools will bo increased with tho
new arrivals and when the attendanco settles
transfers will bo mado toequallzo tho schools.
School Directors Patrick Conry and William
T. Trczise visited sevoral of tho schools last
night.

"DEMO REST"
is the name of one of the best
Sewing Machines now manufac
tured. How much and yet how little
most folks know about Sewing
Machines.
How many do know the crust
of "expense," counted in the
usual retail price of all Sewing
Machines. .
It would astonish buyers if
they knew what actual cost is
and what retail price would be
were machines sold ou the same
basis as the Dry Goods, Shoes,
or other merchandise.
Why not sell them so ? Time
for important patents has expired.
The field is now open, therefore
we offer you now a
$50.00 MACHINE for $19.50.
Taken all in all, we count the
"DEJVIOREST" the best Sewing
Machine in the market.
Light running, easily managed,
no noise, high arm, no springs,
every movement positive, hard
ened steel bearings, all steel at
tachments. More up to date in
improvements than any other.
How can we sell such a
machine at $19.50? Easy
enough.
We buy and sell sewing
machines as we buy and sell Dry
Goods.
No canvassers, no installment
business, nothing to make cus
tomers stand extra costs.
