The amount Of drunkenness which
statistics show to prevail in our larger
cities goes far to account for the marked
increase of poverty and crime lately no.
ticed in the country. Dayton. Ohio,
with a population Of $4,000, has 500
bar rooms, and consumes $2,000,O0O
worth of whisky annually. Milwaukee
has $50 liquor saloons, and a population
Of II ,440 Chicago, with a population
Of 298, ,977, supports 1900 bar rooms, and
New York, with population Of 942 900,
sustains 1000. That is to say, New York
supports one bar room to every 235 in
habitants; Chicago, one to every ITO;
Milwaukee, one TO every l05; in Dayton
one to every 56. The money value of
the consumption OF whisky, malt
liquors, and tobacco in Dayton, amounts
to five times that of bread.

THE COMING P1ANo-sEEmwAY Up
RIGHT.-Messrs. Adams & Lucas, 1897
Market street, have recently succeeded in
introducing the steinwsy Upright Pianos
in Wheeling, by the sale Of several Of
those superior instruments to some Of our
citizens.
The Upright Piano Is, from It's
small, compact form and handsome ex-
terror, especially suited to the boudoir,
the reception room and the parlors OF
many houses where Grand or Square
Piano could not conveniently DO placed.
Messrs. SteinWay 6 Sons have, after
long and earnest study and experiments,
succeeded In producing Upright Piano
tortes which are the most perfect instru-
ments Of their class ever constructed. The
volume Of tone Is fully equal TO any Of
Steinway's best Square Grand Pianos,
while the quality Is Of theme exquisite
musical character-pure, sympathetic,
and In the highest degree piiable. The
durability Of these new Upright Pianos,
and their capacity of standing in tune, Is
unparalleled in the history Of piano max.
ing, and even greater than that Of the
best Grand and Square Pianos.
Too much cannot be said in favor Of
these instruments; in fact, they must be
seen and heard to be appreciated.
There Is no doubt whatever that the
steinwsy Upright Piano will shortly dis
place other styles Of instruments, and the
Messrs. Adams 6 Lucas, sole agents for
the same, assure US that there Is rapidly
increasing demand here for them, and
that they intend in future to keep stock
Of them constantly on hand.

LEcruRE LAST NIeHT.-Last night a
very large and intelligent audience filled
the audience room Of the ChApline Street
N E. Church to hear the Rev. DR..
Holmes, Of Allegheny City, Pa, lecture on
1.-THE Family and the Home" DR.. Holmes
has an attractive personnel, and wins his
way TO the hearts Of an audience by his
pleasant countenanCe and easy, engaging
nannerA His reputation as Q lecturer
was well.known TO many Of our citizens,
and Il the effort Of last evening be q fair
sample Of his public performances, the
community that secures him as o lecturer
may consider itself very highly favored.
We understand that he lectured this week
before the University Of Pennsylvania, in
the city Of Pittsburgh, on yourselves" a
lecture spoken Of in the very highest
terms by the press Of that city.
After some predatory words, the Doctor
proceeded TO give his definition Of the
word "iamily" in the sense employed in
his lecture, a definition characterized by
perspicuity and comprehensiveness. His
frat position was admirably taken and
well sustained, viz: that the family was Of
Divine institution. After briefly advert
ing to the fact that the first assault Of inf.
deity against Christianity was generally
aimed at the family, and clearly and elo-
quently showing how futile these efforts
had been, he passed on 10 consider
several conditions and essentials Of
a good home. Beginning with the
assertion that q good home Is well
and choicely located, he let fly thick and
fast the keen shafts oil his sarcasm and
irony at those parents who located their
homes from purely selfish and mercenary
motives. With great particularly he
enumerated those surroundings Of home
which Justly entltle II to the name. The
sympathy, the politeness, the government,
the courtesy, the conversation, the books,
the periodicals, the music and the religion
OF home were dwelt upon in a manner at
once pleasing and instructive. His con-
Guiding remarks were couched in beauti-
lul language, and evinced how truly and
tenderly he loved his own home, az well
as awakened recollections in the breasts
Of his hearers Of the home Of the olden
time. In this brief synopsis Of the Doc.
tors lecture we do not pretend to have
presented all Its strong points, Tor to be
fully appreciated it must be heard. A
single look OF the audience showed how
delighted they were with the lecturer and
his subject. We hope that at some future
time DR.. Holmes will favor us with
another Of his pleasing and eloquent lee
lures. The next lecture Of the course will
be delivered by the Hon. W. 7. Wiley,
Of Morgantown, Friday evening, February
9th. Subject: wesleyan Hymnology
UersuS Doggerel."

constructed in sections convenient for
