1.-THE Powers That Be-


The third entertainment at City Hall, in the
Stockbridge course, was by John B. Cough,
last evening Mr.. Cough appeared in new
lecture, entitled, "The Powers That Be-" and
although he is now sxty-six years of age, yet
he threw himself into his subject with all the
old time vigor that has made him famous since
he commenced his lecturiug career forty-one
years ago.
1.-THE Powers That Be- dealt with the vari-
GUS powers which rule the world and man.
Nothing more attracts the attention of man
than power,whether shown in the earthquakes,
cyclones and hurricanes of the physical, or the
power OF faith and determination in the moral
world. The great Corliss engine at the Gem
tennial, and the railway trains of to-day, which
travel 40 or 30 miles an hour, were great OBJ
jects of interest, and although the latter was
seen every day, yet they always draw the at
tention. Mr.. Cough proceeded to illustrate
the various existing powers by numerous we'll
chosen anecdotes. uauz afzthHaau eiti tl,a
audience to laughter. He referred to that
class of persons who lose no occasion to make
light of sacred things, and who gloried in their
pyrotechnic display of ill-judged wit He adj
dressed himself to the young men, and gave
them some solid advice. He enjoined them to
make their record SO clean that when they
reached the allotted three-score and ten they
would be able to look back and contemplate
their lives with enjoyment and pride instead
OF disgust and regret. He passed we'll de-
served euiogy to the press and the power of the
types. Millions of people came daily under
the freshness of tha nrasr. r. moc q ban5 10 IA
out against vice and extended to help along
deserving things.
VIII power was treated at some length. The
lecturer claimed man could not be made to
say II will' if his will was to say "I won't"
This should be remembered by the young man
who was invited to take drink "just for So
ciability."
Talking about temperance, Mr.. Cough said
the drink power should be as much hunted
down as the dynamite fends; its work was
equally malignant Over $500 OOO, 600 was di-
rectly consumed in liquor in the United States.
He was thankful that in Maine the school
houses had driven out the bar rooms. There
was no DEVILS agency that could blight quick
er than this agency of rum, and he hated it
with an intensity that could not be expressed.
His remarks on temperance were listened to
with interest and frequently applauded.
Hereafter no one will be allowed to leave
the hall by the main stairway after an enter
tainment has begun, People who are obliged
to go out should pass down the stairway at the
rear of the hall. This is an excellent plan, and
will save much annoyance to people sitting
near the main entrance.

The creditors of Mr.. II. G. Hewes held
meeting at the Office Of Snow & Payscn yester-
day afternoon. Most of the creditors were
represented by their attorneys. The liabilities
were announced as about $500, and the as
sets about 81 800. proposition to purchase
the property was taken into consideration, and

The property of the Company consists of $500
head of cattle, houses, six ranches, controlling
twenty miles of river front, which controls 2OO,-
600 acres of land houses, corrals and other build
ings necessary to conduct the business, located in
Tonic Basin, centre part of Arizona Territory.
It has long been known that the raising Of Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico, Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west u.s. and for many years
has been immensely profitable and the fame of the
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within comparatively short
time, attained positions in the World of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
OF intelligent and persevering efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
of that success proves conclusvely that investment
made ia the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not ia
miliar with the resources of the great west And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon will at once commend this class
of investment to anyone who will take the trouble
to study the history of Stock the western portions
of the United States, and more particularly Texas
New Mexico and Arizona Capital invested in cattle
will return larger per centage of interest than is
returned by any other legitimate investment and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
The management of the Company's affairs is in
the hands of parties whose long experiences renders
them familiar with all details and are emnently fit
ted to conduct the enterprise with success.

SPIRITS ON SPIRITS.
Mediums Asking George Washing
ton and Robert Merris What TIL cy
Think of Prohibition.

At a seance held in this city the views
of George Washington and Robert Nor.
rs were sought concerning the prohibi.
ton question, as it appeared to them,
now they were in the spirit land.
Robert Morris, it appears, is set strong
against prohibition. He claimed it was
unconstitutional, and that it was a viola
ton of the freedom fought for and won,
and guaranteed to their descendants.
He declared hat it was a mistake to
think that the majority was to rule. The
consti ution to his mind was what gov-
erned, and it was the check to keep the
majority from doing as it willed, when it
willed to do any unlawful act.
The following spirit message and con-
versation was had at the same gathering
of ~spiritualists, in which George Wash.
ington takes the contrary view;
This country cannot remain any longer
at its present stability, except it win give
more attention to its own welfare. We
cannot but with pain see the Incidence
with which people treat the greatest of
privileges -the public vote. All depends
on it. Freedom car only be shielded
by 1t.
George Washington: Question What
about prohibition2
Answer am a prohibitionist, not by
trade, but by conviction.
ct would be we'll that Robert Morris will
let me talk. \ n \ n l fought by
the old mill for the prospesity of this
country, and also do it now. Let it be
as the people demand it. Vote for lib.

The Man With u Vow.

betrolt frce freRS,
They met on a crowded avenue yester-
day in front of the City Hall. One was
a young man of about twenty-two-the
other about sixty years old. One lives in
the northern part of the State, the other
in the southern. Fate had brought them
together. There was nothing cordial in
the meeting. They didn't cry out: 'Put
it thar" and pump-handle each other
like n couple of old friends. On the con-
trary, the young man grew red in the
face and breathed hard and stammered
out:
''Ten years ago l went to school to
you"
"Yes, you did" was the calm reply.
"And one day you licked me almost to
death for an offence committed by an.
other boy"
We'll, you were always in need of a
licking"
"And l sworo," continued the young
man, aye, l registered a solemn VOW
that if | ever met you after l had grown
up l would have my revenge! Prepare to
be pounded to a lifeles massl"
"Im prepared" replied the old school
master, as he spit on his hands, and in q
minute the fun was raging. The young
man rushed upon him with a w~ar-whoop,
but his nose struck something and he fell
down. He got up and rushed again, and
this time he was flung down, rolled ever,
stepped on and left with q number Of
loose teeth and q splitting headache. The
police took him in, but whom they came
to hunt for the old man, he was across
tho street trying to pin up @ rent in his
coat and saying to some Of his friends:
''Ah! it brings back all the memories
of the old red school house to get my
hands ON an unruly pupil in the first
reader class againl"
