rFrom Frank Leslie's Illustrated Neivspaper. E COMMENCEMENT.— GIGANTIC MEETINGS The women's crusade against liquor-sellers in Ohio which excited so much ridicule a few weeks ago, is becoming an important movement. The meeting, according to reports, were first held at Washington, O. Its popu lation is about 3000. Dio Lewis delivered a temperance lecture there last Fall, and the, women of the audience were so deeply affected by his vivid portrayals of the misery,, wretchedness, and ruin caused by the liquor traffic that on the following afternoon ttey met and resolved to have the doctor speak again. The next morning the streets vere flooded with posters calling for a temper ance mass-meeting in one of the churches, pearly the entire population turned out, and, after an enthusiastic meeting, nearly one hundred of the leading ladies in town formed themselves into a long procession, and, while singing a kind of-pathetic chant, the marched to the nearest grogshop, leaving tbe gentle men at church to pray for success. CLOSING OF SALOONS.—LIQUOR POURED DOWN V THE GOTTER.

In less than a week all the saloons in town except one were closed, and their liquors emptied into the gutters- Prayer-meetings were held in adjoining towns and counties, and it was not long before the movement spread through the southern part of the State, into Indiana. Of course there was much opposition at many of the places.

THE OPPOSITION AND SUBSEQUENT CONVERSION

OF VAN PELT.

At 'Vienna, while the ladies were praying in a saloon belonging to Van Pelt, a Ger-1 man, be rushed forward and drenched them with hops and lager beer. This was tele graphed over the country as a good joke on the advocates, and Van Pelt suddenly found himself a hero. He cursed the ladies and threatened them frightfully. They only re tired as far the side-walk, and continued sing ing and praying as before. Sometimes he was present and overwhelmed them with mock friendship. At other times he appeared frenzied, and once he brandished an axe at the women. They finally built a booth in front ofrhis saloon and took down the names of all who visited it, while they increased the fervency of their prayers. To the utter surprise of everyone, except the ladies, Van Pelt suddently began to see things in a new light, and he asked forgiveness for his past life. Word was sent to the churches ; citizens were called to the saloon, and while the bells were ringing and the multitude singing songs of rejoicing, Van Pelt rolled Ms liquor-casks into the streets and de molished them with the axe he had intended for his besiegers. The news was flashed to other towns, to the amazement of his former friends. A CAB CONVERTED INTO A TABERNACLE. In another town a photographer's car was used as a tabernacle, and as soon as one ttloon was closed it was drawn before the door of another, where the exhorters prayed day night. A calcium light illuminated tho neighbourhooa, and the scene was strangely Bolema. -

At Blanchester the ladies were refused admission to a saloon fronting the railroad track. Then the superintendent of the road ran a car alongside the building and invited the ladies to take possession of it. At Morrow the Brewery Company said trade had fallen off to the amount of 3000 dollars since the movement began in that town. -

JDio Lewis has recently gone to Ohio, and a vigorous campaign is projected. Van Pelt travels with him, and makes the most radical speeches against the liquor-sellers. _At Springfield, Canton, Logan, Xenia, Charleston, • Athens, and other places the excitement is increasing. At Oxford nearly one thousand residents signed the pledge.

, ORIGIN OF THE MOVEMENT. It is popularly believed that the plan of praying down intemperance originated with Dio Lewis. Hillsbro' claims to have been the first to initiate the movement, but from ™at can be learned, it was began in Spring held by a drunkard's wife, who in great •aguish called on Mother Stewart for advice, about four months ago. The lady listened S, s°rrowful story, and prayed fervently, men she advised her to prosecute the hquor-seller under Adair law, and she promised to conduct the case, which she «a, and^ judgment was awarded in her avor. From this time Mother Stewart consecrated herself to the Temperance cause, but she declared that the law alone was of httle value—real power must come Forn bod through prayer, but not without K^y/ng work. A meeting was called »y tne Ladies' Benevolent Society, of which Sff'* me i mber. and after anight of prayer *aa lamentation, radical temperance resolu nonswerepaased, and each member pledged SS *? !t nd feythem t0 the end' ™c mite,. j^'Various churches were con ■urea, an d their co-operation secured. Mass W^ 8?m° Uowed-and tbe "Springfield's Jff s temperance League" was organized g.Mother Stewart president. It is claimed Mtotf^ m, ov! ment -n this town was not the m T of a,lecfcure or temporary enthusiasm, mm Si* P and solemn conviction that *™Kf.-tc£r a 'or inmitMe hn *v ._.AC^YE OPERATION?. todSLT 6 made >but the doors wtere locked follow^ Sf epers .refused to listen.
