Now the price has shrunk to $18, with

JOHN B. COUGH DEAD.
Stricken With Apop1exy While on TIL,
Platform-Sketcn of His Life.


Platform-Sketch of His Life.
John B. Cough, the eloquent tenn
perance lecturer, died at 4:4O O'Clock
on the afternoon of the 18th, at the
residence of DR.. r. Bruce Burns, in
frankfort, near Philadelphia, where
he was taken when stricken with apo
plexy while lecturing at the frankfort
Presbyterian Church, few nights
previous. His wife was at his bedside
when he died. There were also pres
ent Mrs. Pidge, his sister, Mrs. Burns
and two nieces, Misses Mary and
Fanny Whitcomb, John Wanna
maker, the Rev. Thos. Murphy and
Mrs. Jacob Wagner. It was recalled
that the last words spoken by Mr..
Cough were: "Young man, make your
record clear"
Mr.. Cough was born at Landgate, Kent,
England, August %, 1917. Twelve years
later he came to America and went to work
on farm in Oneida County, New York
He remained there two years and then went
to New York City. He learned the trade of
bookbinder and was joined by his mother,
his father remaining in England. In 1884
his mother died. Her loss proved a blow
from which he did not recover for a long
time. 1t was at this time that he fell into
the habits of dissipation which thousands
have heard him describe so graphically.
He was bright, could sing well and was in
dnced to go on the stage, where he met
with some success, but his general course
was downward. He made many efforts to
reform, but as often fell into his old habits
Of drinking to excess until he became anap.
parently confirmed sot. In October, 1912,
he was induced to attend temperance
lecture. Here he took the pledge
of abstinence and soon began publicly
to advocate the principle. His reputation
as an orator spread through the United
States and Canada and reached England.
In 1858 the London Temperance League
invited him to visit Great Britain. The
visit, intended to last only six weeks, was
protracted to two years, during which he
advocated the cause of temperance through
out the island. He then resumed his labors
in America. In 1857 he again went to En-
gland, and lectured with still greater sue
cess until 1860, when he returned to Amer
lea. He now began to lecture on other
topics with great success, acquiring large
income and having an elegant residence
near Worcester, Mass. In 1916 he pub
lished his autobiography, and volume
Of "Orations" in 1854. In 1878 he an
nounced that he was about to leave the
field as a public lecturer, but he has subse-
quently appeared at intervals down to
1878, when he again visited England.

Church-opposed to it, prosecuted by
it. The institution of the Church is
blessed ordinance Of God, organic
Cd on earth for the purpose of repre-
senting the eternal Church, and Of
extending it's Limits, but still ever
subordinate to it.
It is the heart alone which can give
us key to His words. Recollect hoc
he taught. By metaphors, by images,
by illustrations, boldly fgurative, in
rich variety; yes, in daring abundance.
He calls Himself a gate, a king, a vine,
p shepherd, thief in the night. In
every one of these He appeals to GER
tain feelings and associations. What
He says can only be interpreted by
such associations. They must be un-
derstood by a living heart; a cold,
intellect will make nothing of them.
If you take those glorious expressions,
teeming with almost boundless
thought, and lay them. down as SO
many articles of rigid, stiff theology,
you turn life into death. 1t is just
as if a chemist were to analize fruit
or flower, and then imagine that he
had told you what fruit and flow
or are. He separates them into their
elements, names and numbers them;
but those elements, weighed, measur-
ed in the exact proportions that made
up the beautiful living thing, are not
the living thing-no, nor anything
like it Your science is very profound,
no doubt; but the fruit is crushed and
the grace Of the flower is gone.

The anthracite coal combination L.
Pennsylvania, is attracting great at
tention, and the recent advancein the
article has stimulated inquiry as to
the effects of the combination. 1t is
found by the census report in the ten
years of the combination wages have
been reduced SO per cent. Then it is
learned from the state bureau of sta
tistics that the total Of all wages paid
in mining and loading a ton OF anthra-
cite coal, including outside as well as
inside work, is $1.06 and $1.10 per
ton, when the retail price of coal
in Philadelphia, a hundred miles away,
is $500 and $3.50, the share OF one
sixth Of the price allotted to labor by
this beneficent combination and five
sixths reserved for itself and its pro-
teges, does not seem to be overwhelm.
