One of the Speakers Declares They Are Productive of Immoral Thought and Action The Ball Boom as a Corrup ter of Youthful Morals. Baltimoue, Oct. 17. "Mother" Prlu dlo, suporlntondeht of tho Florence Crlt tonton mission In Now York wns a con spicuous figure nt yesterday's session of tho social purity congress. President Powell read ft pnper on "Pur ity Work Dorlved from English Experi ence," by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, of Lon don, who could Wt bo present. Sho do clnros tho divorce lnws of England to bo tho cuuso of moral deterioration, nnd is earnest in Iior advocacy of a single stand ard of morality of both sexes and tho teaching of sound physical doctrines by parents and physicians. Tho Kov. C. W. Watch, of Brighton, Out., who was introduced as "tho only foreign delegate to tho congress," spoko of "Purity Work in Canada," uud said iu part: "Wo have no strugglo over uncertain divorce laws, for we have nolther a dl vorco court nor a divorce law, except In ono of tho smaller provinces. To procure a dlvorco with us requires a special act of tho Dominion parliament. Tho result is that for tho past ton years thcro havo been but forty-olght applications for dlvorco, fortv of wlllnh worn rrnnted Dr. O. Edward Jaunoy, of Baltimore, read a paper on "Womon's KBsponslblli tlos Regarding Social Morality," by Dr. Emily Blackwell, of Now York. Mrs. Blackwell said in part: "Wo want to bring nil women to under stand that tho only truo way to deal with prostitution is, flrst, to diminish the de mand upon which it Is bnsod by stamping vico with publlo reprobation in mon ns well as In women; secondly, to organlzo among women a broader and more effective form of rcscuo work. At present most of tho effort in this direction is devoted to saving the fallen. Wo want a still moro nctivo effort to snvo those who are ready to perish, and every woman should feel bound to throw her help and inlluonco Into theso efforts." Rev. J. B. Welty, of Knnsas City, Mo., White Cross superintendent of tho purity department, AV. O. T. U., took ministers to task for neglect of social topics. "Tho pulpit of our times," said ho, "save iu 11 very few- oxoeptlonablo instances, Is not outspoken In warning and instruction concerning chastity, social dangers and social duties. How few preachers ovor touch on tho commandment of tho deca logue, or upon Christ's law for purity, or glvo an exposition upon his teachings about marriage nnd divorce. If tlioy would take up theso subjects' more frequontly they would not so often be caught ofllcint lng at tho marriages of unlawfully di vorced persons." Miss Jonnlo Ackerman, an nround-tho-world missionary of the W. C. T. U., stirred up tho convention by saying that she had just come from Icoland, whero an Impure woninn wns absolutely unknown. "Tlint Is because thoy recognlzo nd impur ity In man," she contlnuod, "no matter what his station may bo, When we begin a crusado in this country against men, and brand thorn for their vices with tho infamy with which they brand women, then, nnd then only, can wo got an ideal stato of society of which thoy boast In Ico land. Let ns begin a tremendous crusado against fallen men." "Tho theatre as a rule hurts everybody. It wnstos tho tlino that you may want to account for when you come to die,'" said r Mrs. Doborah C. Leods, of Philadelphia, who read a paper written by hor husband, Joslah W. Leeds, on "The Relation of tho Press and Stage to Purity." Leeds ob jected to "patronizing the play house bo causo it Is not a safe school of morals. Its performances aro usually coarso or sensu ous. Almost every nctress of the day has boon divorced. Such nn atmospliero Is un worthy of woman. "Tho ball room is tho placo whero many of our boys got their flrst downward im pulse," declared Mr. Leeds, "and it is our virtuous girls who glvo them this idea, and not tho women of a lower class. Tho homo parlor, too, Is often tho placo whore they galu improper Ideas by seeing our womon in dressos that aro really undress.

HEW ELECTRIC LIGHT PROJECT Justice Lawlor Dives the Names of Some of the Incorporators Before Committees of the Borough Council Engineer Womelsdorf After Money. Willi the water works nnd applications for rights of way by people trying to introduce an additional system of electric light into the borough the Couucllmcu aro kept pretty busy theso days. While- tho drought was affecting tho town tho Counclliucn who are members of the water committee wore in session almost every night devising means to relieve tho stringency. Now that tho crisis is past they aro busy trying to keep track of tho Water that Hows from the distributing reservoir. Couiicilmen James McEllienny and James Kane, who havo becomo known as the "TwoJimiiilo3,"aropushingt!ioircan vass to socuro tho names of all families using the water with excellent success. Mr. Mc Ellienny carries the book and makes the entries, while Mr. Kane plies tho consumers with questions. Many people nro puzzled ns to tho cause of tho second canvass. It is easily explained. Tho first wns mado by Superintendent Ilcttcridgo and tho names of all tho families who bccHine consumers were recorded, but the number of faucets used by each family were not noted. Last night other members of Council were engaged for some time on another branch of work. The ordinance nnd roads and high ways committee met in tho Council chamber to consider the application of tho Citizens' Light, Heat & Power Company of Mahanoy township for permission to plant poles and run wires in tho borough. Justice M. J. Luwlor appealed for the company and, in answer to a question by Chairman Dougherty as to the individuals inteiested in the project, stated that they were Harvey Woods, 11. F. Gaskill, William W. Crawford and John F. Reilly, of Philadelphia; Joseph L. Lamorell, of Montgomery county; Albert Arnold, of Girardville; M. J. Lawlor, of Shenandoah, and two gentlemen of Shenandoah and two of Giraidvillo whom he did not wish to name for personal and legitimate reasons. Mr. Lawlor gave assurances that the . gentle men whose names were withheld were pcr- any reasonable requirement Council would make. The capital stock of the company is f .)0,000 and $10,000 has already been paid iu. The committee instructed llorougli Solici tor l'omeroy to draft an ordinance in time to have it submitted with a report to Council this evening. A. J. Womelsdorf, who was engineer-in-charge whilo tho public water works wcro in course of construction, wants tho borough to let him know what tho actual cost of tho works wns. In a letter through his counsel, James Kyon, Esq., of l'ottsville, ho says his remuneration was to bo 3 per cent, of the entire cost, provided ho would not bo dalayed iu mnking surveys, nnd in Hint event lie was to receive 5 per cent. Ho claims tho cost greatly exceeded tho estimate and ho is en titled to a considerable sum in addition to what tho borough has paid and proposes to pay for tho work. He also claims he was do- lnyed about a year and by doing tho work at intervals the expenso to him was greatly in creased, so that lie believes ho is entitled to 5 per cent., which makes a balance in his favor of over $2,000. Mr. Womelsdorf oilers, howover, that if Council will pay his claim of $903 for extra work ho will relinquish all claims beyond the three per cent, Watson lliiuso Free Lunch.

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 on the same basis as the Dry Goods, Shoes, or other merchandise. Why not sell them so? Time for important patents has expired. Tlie field is now open, therefore we offer you now a $50.00 MACHINE for $19.50. Taken all in all, we count the "DEAIOREST" 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.
