MR.. BEECHER'S ADVICE.
Young and Old Advised to Refuse Wine at
New Year Calls.

New York, Dec. 21.-Said Henry Ward
Beecher, yesterday: son New Years day, in
compliance with the city custom and with my
own custom, shall receive calls at my home,
and shall receive very cordially. Young and
old, black and white, home-bred or foreign born,
men and women that are moved by kindly i'm
pulse. are abundantly welcome. l am asked to
say word about employing wine at this New
Years reception, and l do it cordially and cheer
fully The presentation of wine at table is not
now token of hospitality; it may
rather be said to be an indication
of vanity. Wine has grown out of use, and,
although wine is still good deal employed, it
has ceased to be thought necessary to present it
in our houses and except at public dinners wine
is very little used. Although there is still a
great deal of drinking l may say that the nation
at large has gone up great ways in the matter
of temperance, and it is not now thought to be a
violation of hospitality to omit to prOffeP the
wine-cup or to decline it if offered. may there
fore ask young men if they are willing to bear a
gentle rebuke from any of their hosts if they de-
cline an invitation to drink and if the young
men and the mdde-aged men will wave it aside
this year, l think the moral effect will be such
in year or two it will not be thought friendly
to spread the bait of temptation before young
men,

noises in McClure's grocery on Wabash street.

fed, when they entered the store and found a
man in his shirt-sleeves crouched down near the
door. He was at once taken into custody by
the sheriff and searched, but nothing was found
save dollar in money. When discovered he
had drilled hole in the safe, which contained
between $50 and $75 in money. The burglar
gave his name as Henry Hill, and claimed to be
from Cincinnati. He is apparently about forty
years old, although his age is stated by him to
be sixty-five. The index finger on his right
hand is gone, and his clothes indicate that be

Preliminary Trial of Spencer Lawshe for the
Circulation of Spurious Coin.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
GREENcAsTLE, Dec. 31.-The preliminary trial
before the mayor of Spencer Lawshe, charged
with trying to pass counterfeit money! was held
in the courthouse to-day The proceedings have
attracted great attention on the part of the citi-
zens and a large crowd has been in attendance
all day. The entire day has been occupied by
the prosecution in presenting its evidence, and
will be continued tomorrow. Three witnesses
for the State testified that the defendant had
passed, or attempted to pass, counterfeit silver
dollars, recently, on them, and the cross
examination failed to shake their evidence
The most important witness for the State
is Scion Seentz, an employe of Cole Bros, and
fellow workman of Lawshe. He figures in the
case as a semi-detective, and claims to have been
quietly Working up the case for several months
He testified that he heard while living in Lafay
etc, that counterfeiters were working here, and
he at once began to ferret out the guilty par
ties. Obtaining work in the same factory, he
began to cultivate the acquaintance Of Lawshe,
until the latter having faith in the friendship
thus formed. unbosomed himself to Seentz, and
showed him specimens of his skill in the shape
of counterfeit nickels and silver dollars of his
own manufacture. The testimony of Seentz
duplicates other parties, and its strength is to be
tested by the evidence the defense will introduce
tomorrow. That counterfeit money is being
circulated here to considerable extent is evil
dent, but public. opinion is divided as to whether
the officers are on the right track or not.
