From a paper handed us we note
novel temperance movement
down in Clayton, N. J. At an en-
thusiastic meeting recently held in
that place, after the appointing of a
committee Of prominent citizens to
see that the laws were enforced
against all offenders, a proposition
was made to furnish the town with
a temperance hotel, and stock to
the amount of $4,000 was at once
subscribed. A committee was then
appointed to purchase or build
suitable hotel; subsequently
they purchased the largest hotel in
the town for the Temperance Hotel
Company for $500. They also
bought the stock of liquor on hand
for $3.50, which they destroyed. A
procession was formed at the hotel,
headed by a hearse containing a
coffin marked "King Alcohol" fol-
lowed by a wagon containing the
liquor, a brass band, two loads of
wood, and citizens, which passed
through the streets. After reach
ing the point selected, the wood and
liquor were unloaded and funeral
pile built. After the speeches were
made, fire was applied to the pile,
and amidst the ringing of bells and
screaming of whistles "King Al
cohol" was destroyed and the town
relieved of the curse. Later in the
evening a brilliant display of fire
works occurred.-EuereH Press.

will try to rend and convulse socl--
ETY.. Were all good men opposed
toit, it could be easily overcome, but
there is a class entitled to that
name who defend and patronize the
liquor traffic in some of its phases,
though condemning it in those
forms which do not interfere with
its own indulgences, and the better
the men of this class in other re-
spects the more power they have as
supporters of the liquor-traffic. This
is a struggle for life and death IN
which there is no neutral ground;
every man and woman must be
eitherfor or against the great enemy
of all righteousness-the traffic in
