meDt, is ,he fact that q portion Of the
land bought by the S"iss company, and
on which Tell City is located, was pur-
chased by Robert Fulton in 1919. lie
was induced to buy the property, from
observing on bis first voyage down the
Ohio the oui groupings Of coal at that
point, and with visions Of the future

A TEETOTALER INDEED.


To hc Editor ef Tn " y. Tribune
SIR: Knowing that YOU believe the ordinance of the
Loids Supper as now celebrated among Us fearful
" impcdimeut to the progress and triumph of the prin
" Cple Of total abstinence from all that can intoxicafc
and that although n COMMUNICATE Of in one Of the
NcwYork churches, you decline partakng Of the Cup
on this account, ! beg leave TO inform you that YOU
are by no means alone IN this position.
Several members of Mr.. Beccher's church in this
city take only the bread at Communion for the same
reason One brother told me that he had been q
member of that church for six years and in all that
time had never once parakcr of the wine. But last
Sunday, influenced by unworthy motives, he drank
and his conscience was defled lie aVows himself
truly penent, however, and declares that he viii
- never again touch, taste or handle the unclcan
" thing Such consistency with ones tcctotal prn.
Cpcs, especially nj time when the zeal ~ MANY has
waxed cold and Doctors of Divinity, who have taken
prominent stand in favor of Total Abstinence are
making speeches, and giving toasts to be drunk in
wine at public dinners, is worthy of remark.
Let il be known that there are some teetotalers
fRdocd and not in name only and that few at least
see the inconsistency of declaring the and sale, IA
beverage, of any liquid essentially alcoholic, and
therefore Intoxicating, SIN and crime. and then
committing this sin Openya church aud at the most
solemn Of church ordinances.
1t is denied, | know, that wine taken ut the Com
munon is taken as a beverage. But how unfairly
II must be either medicine or a. beverage, ana
il certainly il not the former. The opponents OF tee
totalism this if prOfessed teetoaers cannot
Have We not reason to believe that the great depres-
sion under which the cause of total abstinence il now
laboring has been caused, in part at least by this
glaring Inconsistency in most of its protested friends
