TEMPERANCE.
The run cyclone has struck New
York at last. In Brooklyn it came with
all the force Of hurricane. and it is
rivallins the Western movement so far
rs power is concerned The drinking
places in New York, that is saloons
and groceries in which liquor. is the
principal article dealt in. is meant, num-
ber 7.514; one TO every 133 of the popu-
lation. This is exclusive of druggists,
club houses and places of that class
which dispense liquors quite as freely as
the prOfesSed dealers
These furnish facilities enough for
drinking in all conscience. Wall street
is full of drinking places, many of them
furnished without reference to cost, for
gambling in stocks and gold is bust
ness SO exciting as to require stimulants
constantly TO enable the gambler TO sus-
tain the drain upon him. The Astor
House bar does an enormous business.
From early morn till y at night the long
bar is crowded with feverish-lOOking in
dividuals, who keep the cool and self
possessed dispensers busy. One thOus-
and dollars a day for liquors alone is not
a big days work at the AstOr. Del
mOnicO's Broadway place is another IA
nous place, then the Brandreth House,
st. Nicholas, Grand Central, New York
Hotel. and so on up, all on the west
side. The east side has quite as many
The regular thing fCr the regular drinker
who Is in business down town, is to
walk to his home, up above Goth street,
and he is very apt to stop at every one
of these places and drink.
Just at this time series of meetings
are being held in all the churches and
most OF the Halls, the object being to
create a sentiment against the traffic and
use of liquor, and to so unite the peO-
pie opposed to it that raid Will have
some effect. Tie clergy are all in it,
and many Of the leading business men
have come out and announced their will
lingneSs to give the movement all the
aid in their power.

the women have taken the field with
some prospect Of success. One shrewd
saloon man took advantage of the ex-
citement 70 post bills all over the city,in
the name Of the WUHen's Committee,
stating that a prayer meeting would be
held az his saloon a given evening. OF
course his saloon was crowded from
early in the evening till after . O'Clock.
Then. as 10 women came, it crept
through the wool Of the thirsty crowd
present that the saloon man had made
ii rather nice thing by attracting them
70 his den. TIE UEscTUpulOUs fellow
made several hundred dollars by his
shrewd dodge.
TIE WOMEN
of Brooklyn did. however, organize. and
are now on the war path. Last Monday
they formed praying bands and visited
various saloons. in which they held ser
vices. These agencies can be used in
Brooklyn rs well as in the West, for
Brooklyn Is "A city Of residences. and
very religion, city. Eat they met with
very little success. The saloon keepers
were Obdurate. and no results followed.
They propose to keep it up. however,
till they have crushed out the evil in
Brooklyn AT least.
