Ihe Bell Ringers. The Berger Family
OF swiss Bell Ringers are without doubt the
best company of the kind that have ever visited
us. Certainly we have not had such an enter
tainment heretofore in Richmond, as is nightly
witnessed by our people. The audiences ali
the week have ben fashionable and of the
most appreciative class To say that the per-
formers were elegant and graceful is high
NEED OF praise. And yet above them all, if
our discrimination amounts to ANYTHING we
place the oddities of SOL Smith Russell. the
splendid voice of Miss Maud Stanley, the fine
harp execution of Miss Louise Berger, and the
splendid musical powers of Miss Henrietta
Berger, whose performance on the bells were
so charmingly graceful.

The Good Templars Of two western state,
were in convention last week, and in both the
zeal Of the members Outran their discretion. IL
seems hardly credible, but Is true neyerthe-
less. that much OF the time of the Grand Lodge
Of Ohio was consumed in reviewing the decision
OF a subordinate lodge in the case of two of its
members who were convicted of crushing an
apple TO pulp in their hands and expressing The
juice and drinking It! That Is ridiculous enough,
but worse remains, for the Grand Lodge not
only seriously entertained the charge, but grave
" confirmed the decision of the subordinate
lodge. Whether members are to be expelled for
eating apples are not informed The In
diana Good Templars occupied themselves with
6eighter topics, but were no wiser in their ac-
ton They pledged themselves to vote only for
such candidates Tor Office are publicly pledged
70 the passage and enforcement of a strict pro-
hibiiory liquor law, and when any convention
refuses 70 adopt platform in spirit with such
pledge, ''they will insist on the calling OF a
proper convention, and the nomination of hon.
est Temperance men for Office. This pledge to
be binding for life" The question, "Does pro-
lection protect?' is still muddling the brains OF
political economists; but "Does prohibition pro-
hibit?" has been cOnelusiyely settled In the
negative long ago. The latest witness on ths
stand in regard to the prOhibitory liquor law in
New England is Mr.. MundeIla, the Irish mem
Der Of the British Parliament who recently tray-
eled in the United States. His testimony was
not needed, but il is interesting as coming from
an impartial but close observer. He said that
the law was systematically broken both by law
makers and other leaders Of public opinion. He
had taken wine with the most honored names in
America at the largest hotel In Boston, and
when he express ell his surprise that it should be
produced where it was prohibited, he was told
that cit did not matter, the drink was there,
He asked if they could get spirits in the same
way, and he was taken down to the bar of the
hotel, where he found the students from the
university drinking as much whisky as they had
a mind to pay for.
