AA1i'bOA'3 " -
ED. FREEMAN What an idea !!
In the latter part of an intelligent
civilized century, like the nine
teenth and along nice little
stream like McKim, in Peasants
county, West Virginia, and in the
face Of a quiet community like
this, where four-ffths of the people
are opposed to the whisky traffic, to
see man with large number of
the boys and young men drifting
timber, having with him a jug of
''rot gut" whisky, and then to see
these young men guiding down
the DEVILS fire, under pretense of
warming up" and then to see one
of these boys risking his life by
wading through swift water, four
feet deep to obtain dram Of the
poison! Surely here is problem
not easily solved.
How terrible for a man of any
responsibility to mislead the youth
of our land by setting before them
so vile a temptation
Society might have permitted
this one hundred years ago, when
no disgrace attached to dram
drinking or even to getting drunk,
but in this civilized age, men who
must and will have their whisky,
usually buy it in some dark and
hidden corner and then hide it up
some dark hollow or under some
haystack and slip away as secretly
as possible to obtain their dram
Fathers and mothers, were any
of your young sons in that crowd,
and were any Of them corrupted by
that miserable jug of whisky?
If you want arguments against
the whisky traffic, go to the aims
house; go to the county 1nfirmary !;
90 to your criminal dock'ets; go to
Your jails; go to the penltentlary !;
60 to the gallows, and there Will be
no end to the long list of ,srgu-
ments against this terribly vile and
vicious traffic. Many good men
have been made to fall by this red
handed monster and have gone
down to untimely and disgracetul
graves, leaving broken hearted
wives and families Of poor, naked
half-starved children to mourn
their terrible fate.
The writer has heard men, and
even protested Christians, say they
were temperance men, but, "they
would like to have little whisky
for medicine" "and," 'but," they
thought "a dram of cold day
would not do a man any harm"
Lord deliver me from such morality
and Christianity. W.

Thursday evening the steam saw and
grist-mill, fruit-cannery, and store OF James
VI. Hill d Brother near Atee's station, in
Hanover county, were destroyed by fire.
A considerable part OF the stock OF good,
in the store was saved, but nearly every.
thing else was lost.
Early in the afternoon the roof OF one OF
the buildings was found TO be on fire, from
a spark from the smOke-stack, it is sup
posed. 1t was put out-as was sup
posed-by the employees OF the mill
Among those present at the time was the
agent Of one OF the companies in which the
firm were insured. lie wrote a notice to
the firm informing them that his policy OF
insurance was cancelled.
Later in the day the fire-supposed tO
have been the same one they believed
they had entirely extinguished-broke out
and did the damage before mentioned
The loss amounts to four or five thousand
dollars, which is by no means covered by
the insurance, even in the favorable event
that both policies shall be held good.

Waters a Lecture by DIR. Taylor.

In the lecture-room Of the Seventh Street
Christian church. and for the benefit Of the
Young Mems Christian Association, DR..
Taylor, State Chemist and City Coroner,
last night cave the first OF the series OF
"Familar Talks to Young Men," the SUBJ
iect being Water.
DR.. Taylor is peculiarly gifted as iec-
turer. He follows 10 beaten path; he has
no hackneyed expressions: he amuses
without seeming 10 attempt 10 do it. and
he instructs in way that makes the re-
ceiving OF knowledge pleasure. IIeneyer
OyerwhemS his audience with scientific
terms, and the most intricate and ab-
struse ideas he presents so plainly that
any child can understand them. His
talk on water was truly valuable
contribution to popular science. 1t in.
cluded the water OF the rivers and seas, OF
the clouds, OF the watermelon, Of the tur-
nip, Of the human body, and OF the mineral
springs. Interspersed in the mass Of in
formation he presented were some charm
ing bits Of humor, which were the more
ENJOYABLE because he did not. a. many lee.
turers do, laugh at his own jokes. His dry
| humOr was IN nice contrast TO his watcry
subject.
The audience consisted entirely OF young
men The course is advertised is " Famil-
lar Talks to Young Men, but the ladies
would have been delighted last night
especially with the Doctor, remarks about
bread-making and mothers-in-law.
DR.. Taylor'S lecture, or talk, on water
will bear repeating. 1t Is Il mighty good
thing.

Thursday night about half-pasi 10 o'clock
the servants Of Colonel w. +. Tanner saw
a man prowling around in the rear prem
ses OF Mrs. Lucy Meanley, No. 22j south
second street. and informed Colonel Tan
ner Of the fact. He stationed himself at
one of his back windows TO watch the
mans movements. Very soon the man
came out from the shadow OF the house
and went towards a window in Mrs.
Meanley's house and looked in. He
repeated this several times. Colonel
Tanner, from the bold movements
Of the man, at first thought that il
was some one attempting TO play 4 Joke on
the family. but decided to telephone TO the
police station for policeman. and did this.
Upon reSuming his position at the window.
the Colonel saw the man 90 up 10 Il win
dow and try the shutters. In the mean
time Mrs. Meanley and the family had re-
tired. The young ladies, upon going to
an upper rear window 10 close the shutters.
and seeing the man in the yard, screamed at
thetop of their voices. The man ran from the
ward and secreted himself behind a stable.
He was i'm full view OF Colonel Tanner, who
Mt once opened fire on him with Smith &
Wesson revolver. At the first shot the man
ran down the alley. Colonel Tanner fired
three shots at him, but did not succeed i'm
bringing him down. The police arrived
Just after the thief had disappeared around
the corner. Ii the young ladies had not
given the alarm the police would have been
sure 10 have captured him.
