A very large congregation assembled at
the Baptist church last Sunday night. to
hear Especial sermon from the pastor, Rev.
j. M. Frost, on the subject of Temperance.
Mr.. Frost treated his subject in an origi-
nal way, making no bitter attack upon any
one, but showing up the evils of intern
perance in the strongest terms. The
speaker said he would not attempt to ar
que on the medicinal qualities of whiskey.
If it had any virtue, it should be labelled
poison and consigned to the keeping Of the
medical men along with other polsons.
He had large picture on canvass put on
stand at the side of the pulpit, from
which he illustrated his subject. The pic
ture represented a large cannon in the
shape of bottle pointed full at happy
village. The cannon balls, piled up in a
stack near, were marked ale, gin, rum,
brandy, whiskey. The gun had been load
ed to the muzzle from this pile, and was
just touched off with an explosion labelled
License. The discharge was throwing ig-
norance, poverty. misery, crime and death
into the happy village. The picture was
styled 1.-THE Destroyer

Local Political Matters.

The Democratic club room was filled on
Tuesday night to hear Judge H. G. Allen,
of Shenandoah, on the questions at issue
in the canvass. They were we'll repaid,
for they heard the clearest and most search
ing exposure of the follies of the Riddle.
berger bill that they were likely ever to
hear from any man. Judge Allen has
closely studied the bill and knows infinite
ly more about it than the authors of it. He
made clear to all not only its weak and
illegal points but the cost and danger to
the state of vainly. attempting to enforce
the measure as a law. He was listened to
for an hour when he attempted to stop but
the audience insisted on his going on, for
they had recognized the fact that they
were getting the first clear exposure OF the
bill in the campaign.
On Saturday night, Harry Tucker met
that survivor Of many defeats, S. Brown
Allen, at Deer6eld, and gave him some
food to reflect upon in his coming retire
ment.

A Design for the Great Monument OF
ItalV.

Some weeks ago, design which was be-
ing mounted for shipment to Europe at
tracted great deal of attention at The
business place of Frank Prufer q Son. IL
was design prepared by the well known
artist. Gilbert r. Firth, Esq, to De put IN
competition for adoption Cor the national
monument ordered by the Italian Farila-
ment to the memory of Victor Emanuel.
The monument is to cost about " ooo,ooo.
Mr.. Frith's design is original and oe&utl-
full. The exterior is to be OF Dronze, IN
the shape of a colossal helmet, resting on
base of granite, Illuminated by panels
and made. to Approximate the form OF
cross illustrative of the thought that
Christianity is at the base of all OF Italy 8
greatness. The helmet is to present an
illustration of the globe. The Eastern
hemisphere is dominated by figure OF
Ceasar-the ruler of the old world. On
the Western Hemisphere is a statue OF
Columbus, the discoverer of the western
world, a son of Italy. There is perfect
representation of Italy on the globe as the
crest of the helmet; her beauty revealed
by a statue of Victor Emanuel who, with
the hoofs of his horse, has spurned OIL the
clinging CLOUD which had oppressed her.
He holds his charger poised and points
aloft to his countrymen to still nobler
deeds. Then there is a statue Of Italy
holding aloft a wreath of honor inscri
bed to Victor Emanuel. A colos-
sal eagle, the bird of war, appears at
the back with garland inscribed I'll Re
Galantuomo. The interior of the monu-
ument which is to be of marble, presents
dome in which there are twenty seven
segments to bear representations ilustra-
ting the twenty-seven centuries that
passed since the founding of Rome. The
whole design of Mr.. Firth Of which this is
but a partial and very incomplete descrlp-
tion is elaborate, original and beautiful
The design was shipped by express to
Rome, August 25th. On September 21st
Mr.. F. received cable telegram from Mr..
Hooker, the American consul, saying it
had not yet arrived up to that time. This
is unfortunate as the competition was TO
close at P. M. September 25th, but Mr..
Firth had sent on copy of the libretto by
mail, which he hopes may be received as a
formal entry.
