Helping His Old Chumss
Washington Letter.

W
Mr.. Cleveland kicked up an awful fuss while
here by going to call upon his old friend James
Lidgerwood, a grocer at Thirteenth street and
Broadway, whom he has appointed Indian
agent. Il is queer experimentation it would
tempt an ordinary groceryman to work off his
old groceries on the aborigines-but the Presi-
dent never hesitates to let an old friend into a
good thing. Conkling who was also at Arthurs
funeral (which, by the way was model of
quiet dignity and elegance), always speaks of
Cleveland as the white House Jumbo" as he
always spoke of Hayes as ''that man at the
White House." Conkling grows old, is more
careless of his attire than formerly. but his
tongue has lost nothing of its ancient sharpness

CINCINNATI, August, 1886.


The Order OF Cincinnatus, en-
couraged by the appreciation of its
past efforts to please visitors to our
city, takes this method Of announc-
ing that from Sept. 9Th to 18th, in
elusive, q realistic representation
of the Fall of Babylon will be given
under it's direction at the Union
Ball Park, foot of Bank Street.
This memorable event will be
portrayed upon the largest stage
ever erected in this country, being
four hundred feet in length, and
one hundred and fifty feet deep.
The costumes of the five hundred
and odd characters, together with
the properties, will be gorgeous
and in keeping with the grandest
scenic effects ever shown to the
public. The storming Of the ci.tyy,
introducing Charriots, Bsttering
Rams and Catapults of full size and
correct design, throwing huge
stones and balls of FIRE over the
walls OF the city, will at once be
startling and magnificent.
Incidental to the performance
will be a chorus OF Chaldean
Priests; the lamentation OF the
Jews by the Waters of Babylon
Ancient athletic games and exereis-
es; PROFESSIONS of victorious armies
and many interesting incidents liz
Illustrating life in Babylon at that
period of time. Next will be shown
the feast of Belshazzar, where amid
feasting, dancing and revelry is
shown the handwriting on the
wall, which is interpreted to the
King by the prophet Daniel. The
entrance of the army of Cyrus after
turning the channel of the river
Euphrates, is the signal for the
slaughter of the inhabitsn&s, the
pillage Of the temple and palaces,
and killing of Belshazzar by Cyrus.
In the burning and destruction of
the city the climax Of the Perform,
ance is reached.
The subject chosen for illastrs.
ton presents an opportunity FOR
display that will be taken a1van-
tage of by the Order, and in which
it will utilize all the vast resources
at it's command.

The following was adopted at
the West Va. Annual Conference
of the Methodist Protestant Church,
held recently at st. Mary's:
REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.
WHEREAS, Intemperance is the
evil of the day, morally and social
ly, and is an evil Of such gigantic
proportions, 80 far-reaching in its
influences and so debasing in its
effects that no body of Christians
can afford to be silent or neutral on
this subject, the time is now at
hand when this Conference should
take a decided stand for the cause
of Temperance; therefore we, your
committee on Temperance beg
leave to submit the following
RESOLUTIONS.
1. Resolved, That we as Confer
ence are unalterably opposed to the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants
as beverage.
g. Resolved, That we, az an An
nual Conference assembled, repre-
senting fifteen thousand members,
respectfully petition the Legis-
lature of the State of West Vir-
ginia to submit to the people an
amendment to the Constitution
prohibiting forever the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicants as a
beverage
3. Resolved, That we extend to all
workers in the cause Of Temperance
our hearty greeting, and assure all
such the hearty cooperation of this
Conference in this matter.
4. Resolved, That while we do
not desire to commit the West Vir-
ginia Annual Conference to the
interest of any political party, yet
we believe it to be the Christian
duty of the NJ. P. Church to exer-
else their rights as citizens of the
State, 80 as to advance the cause of
Temperance and morality.
And, Whereas, the youth of our
land are easily led into intemper.
ance, not knowing the baneful
effect of intemperance upon the
human system, therefore
Resolved, That this Conference
respectfully and earnestly pray our
State Legislature to adopt in oul
public schools a textbook on the
effects of intoxicants upon the
human system.

pasible.
Although Mr.. Carskadon had
been invited and announced to
speak at the Ravenswood Fair, yet
we found on arriving that some of
tho managers Directing, no ar
rangements were made for meet
ing.
We presume it was thought
that "hoss-racing," pool-selling,
ring tn rowing and such like were
incompatible with Temperance and
Prohibition.
After seeing the Fair, we were
about leaving on the evening boat,
when the
VIC. u. |
who are always on the alert,
insisted on meeting at the Church
in the evening.
Word was passed along and a
number gathered in spite of the
drumming on the streets for a
Democratic speech by the Con-
gressional nominee, Mr.. Hogg.
And 80 it was that while Mr.. Hogg,
before crowd on the street, was
pledging himself to quit drinking,
Mr.. Carskadon was at the Church
urging Christian and Temperance
voters to support a party that
stands for Home and Country
against the saloon, and dominates
none but sober men, who need not

Stunning to teach and lead others.
REV. J. F. MEDLEY COMES OUT.
The best thing of this evening
was the bold stand taken by Rev. j.
F. Medley, Presiding Elder, M. E.
Church South, who presided at the
meeting, opening with an earnest
prayer and closing with an
earnest appeal to all true men to
come out of the corrupt old parties
into the new. He had remained in
the Democratic party longer than
decent man ought to stay. The
pool became too muddy and he
had to get out.
He was sure the salvation and
preservation of the country must
come through new party.
40 il was a good day for Prohibit
