WHEN PURE, alcohol Is poison. When
diluted, as In ordinary liquors, 1t Is stimula-
tive and intoxicating. Its influence is on the
brain and nervous system, deadcnlng the ma
tural affections, dulling the intellectual oper-
atoms and moral instincts, seeming to per-
vert and destroy all that is pure and holy In
man, while 1t robs him Of his highest aitri-
bute-reason. It is blight upon family,
q curse to society, and the bane Of our civ
ilization. In a word, it makes drunkards,
and drunkard Is the most shocking sight
this world affords.
THE Probe, a newspaper published at the
Sanitarium, near Media, Pa, states that one
third Of the whole number Of patients In the
institution acquired taste for strong drink
In attending parties and other social gather
ings; that the other two thirds became
drunkards from constitutional tendencies,
inducing insanity in some and reckless dis
regard OF moral obligations In others. OF
the first class, twenty-five were cured; Of the
second, only eight. Two-thirds of the whole
had the benefits OF Christian and temperance
training, while only twenty three had been
neglected.

switch, on the Baltimore and Potomac rail-
road, was killed on Sunday night, near his
home, by a man named Lynch, residing al

In cutting cross-ties, and becoming enraged
the former drew a revolver with the inten

vent a murder, when Lynch fred the pisto
and the ball struck Gray In the breast, golnl
nearly through to his back. The wount

diately. Lynch disappeared as soon as h,
committed the crime, and has not been ar

that q majority OF bona nde voters and
property holders are unalterably opposed

Mound City claims that all the provis-
ions Of the law under which the election
was held was complied with, that the
opponents OF the removal failed to show
fraudulent voting ufficient to change the
result, while the matter was pending be-
fore the courts. and she is therefore
averse to reopening OF the agitation.
