The most important acts are those which
initiate the policy of taxing property which
has heretofore almost entirely escaped taxa

nLSTPTrT NOTES

Neither Of the Commissioners were at Columbia
building on Saturday, consequently there was
but little business of interest transacted.
The contractors for the Improvement Of G street
northeast have been directed to construct tenn
pOrary catch on that street between Fifth and
Sixth streets: also, one with an eighteen-inch
connection on the west side Of Fourth street east
and another with tifteen-ineh connection on the
east side Of Fourth street, at the intersection Of
G street north.
Auditor VinsOn, who has been confined to his
residence for several days past is expected to be
at his Office to-day.
On Saturday night all the mains in the city
were flushed by the employees Of the water de-
partment under the direction of Mr.. Henry Lar
man, inspector and Taper Of mains.
There is just now considerable complaint among
the brokers and others holding certificates o! the
board Of audit against a decision Of the sinking
fund commissioner. As all know these certi1-
Gates are convertible into 3.65 bonds, which are
only issued in denominations of SO and $500. OF
course none Of the certificates are Of these exact
sums, and the Commissioners have adopted the
rule that where the sum is below the holder must
pay the difference in cash, but where it is above
they cannot make any payment nor even give an
evidence Of such balance being due. The reason
assigned is that they are not authorized to en-
DlOV any clerical assistance

TEMPERANCE SERMON.
REV. ALFRED W. WILSON, d. D., A
PEAI.s rn NnIrNG MEN

REV. ALFRED W. WILSON, d. D., AP-
PEALS TO YOUNG MEN.
At the request of the Ladies' Temperance
Union Of this city this eloquent divine delivered
a sermon on the above subject at the Mount
Vernon Me thOdist Church" to large and apPre-
ciative Audience, including a large number Of
ladies aAd gentlemen prominent IN the tenn
perance cause.
: The reverend gentleman selected for his text
the 18th 10th and 2lst verses Of the 9Th chapter
Of Galatians but confined himself P srtleuiaTLy
to that part of it which relates to enyyings, muir
ders, drunkenness, reYelings, and such like"
He said the Apostle had not exhausted the 70
cabulary Of sins for the commission Of which meR
should Be punished by naming them specifically,
but had covered in the omissions by the WORDS
and such like, and proceeded to depict the a6-
full and terrible results which necessarily and In
eFitably follow from life given wholly or IN part
70 drunkenaess land such like" ana commended
that it was sin and was clearly SET TORN as Sueh
in the gospels, and unless men were maze TO
know and believe 1t was such and would De pun
Sshed as such and repent, there was very little
Yo1 u cannot iegisiate men into temperance:
ueitherecan you crusade them into it. The only
way to reach them was by personal appeal and
by prayer. The temptations to our young to
drink--tO stimulate-Was almost Continual. Go
where YOU may. in the hotels, restaurants eating
houses and such like and the temptation was on
lead9a natural life; they lead stimulated life,
one that keeps the nerves strained to their utmost
tension, and their brains to the most intensified
reach for they will soon take our places in society
in the church-eVerywhere.
We must 90 out into the highways and byways
and gather them in, not, as have said, by legis-
lation by crusading, but by personal appeal
and by prayer. If the churches will agree upon
this common platform, and unite in one grand
effort, God will help it and crown it with success;
and if this had been done in years past and con-
tinued to the present there would have been nc
necessity for this outward demonstration that has
been made. Men are DOEetOus and love to make
money, and with as little labor as possible, and
those who deal in this stuff quote the Scriptures
to sanction their unhOly calling.
In our country there is not more than one-miE
liOnth part of this liquid that is bought sold and
drunk that is genuine the balance is made up O
the most deadly pOisOns, manufactured to order
in our large cities and elsewhere; and has beer
proven as such blythe scientific men Of our day
Can you think for moment that the Bible
teaches or sanctions the use Of anything that viii
not only kill the body but destroy the soul?
The reverend gentleman concluded with an elo
quent appeal to his hearers 70 use persona effort
and prayer in this matter, and the result could
not be doubted.
