Temperance.
The Barber's Temperance Lecture.

There are many temperance lectures
which are not delivered in public places:
and good many plain, sensible people
say things on the subject which are
quite as well worth remembering as the
most eloquent addresses of eminent
temperance orators. When men will
look facts in the face they will find
abundant reasons for letting strong
drink alone. Two colored BARRIERS were
together in shop. One was young
man; the other was old. The young
man took off his apron and started out
of the door. "Yo's gwine to get a
drink, Jim?" asked the elder. "Dot's
what rs gwine to do" eco and cit
yo' drink. l yoost ter do de same ting
when / wus young. When l wus fust
married dab wuz gin-mill next TO de
shop wha' l wicked, and spent in it
fifty and sebenty cents a day outen de
dollan an half l earned. Wal, one
mawnin, went into de butchah shop,
and who shood cum in but de man wat
KEEP de likker-shop. Glib me ten
pounds po'terhouse steak he said.
He got it and went out. / sneaked
up to de butchah and looked to see

cents wuff o. libber,' wuz my remark.
1t wus all l could pay fur. Now you
go and git yo' drink. You'll eat libber,
but de man wat sells yo' de stuff will
hab his po'terhouse steak. De man be-
him de bar eats po'terhouse stake-de
man in front eats libber. l amt touched
de stuff fo' thirty years, and now l am
edtin' po'terhouSe steak myself" If a
man wishes to make the rum-seller rich
and himself poor; to feed the rum-seller
luxuries while he starves his own chill
dren; if he desires to dress the rum
sellers wife in velvets and his own wife
in rags, and rob his own wretched, bare
footed children that he may adorn and
beautify the family of the rum-seller,
there is only one thing necessary, and
that is, let him drink strong drink. He
will find that these greedy rum-selling
cormorants will take everything he
earns and leave him a wretched out
cast, while they revel in luxury and
waste the substance that belongs to the
poor and suffering.-Sqfeguard.

Prohibition in Georgia.

There is not an informed man in
Georgia who does not know that the
prohibition counties have enforced pro-
hibition-to say the least that can be
said-as vigorously as they have en-
forced other laws. More-during the
Atlanta campaign abundant testimony
from county officers was brought for
ward to show that more convictions
were obtained before the courts for
Illicit selling in prohibition counties
than for any other violation of the law.
The statement illustrates the wisdom of
the local option effort; the county that
gave good majority for the law had
the moral force to enforce it.-Rev.

Selected Storp.
Forever Young.

The wide world hastens on its way,
The gray haired century nears its close;
Its sorrow deepens day by day,
The summer blush forsakes the rose
But, darling, while your voice hear,
And while your dark-brown eyes see,
Sad months and sunless, seasons drear,
Are all the same, all glad to me-
Despair can never reach me
While your soft hand hold;
While your eyes love and teach me
Inever shall grow old
They say that love forsakes the old,
That passion pales and fades away;
That even loves bright locks of gold
Must lose their charm and change to gray
But, darling while your heart is mine,
And while feel that you are true,
For me the skies will ever shine
with summer light and tenderest blue.
Yes, let old age deride me!
scorn his hooking tongue.
Dear love, with you beside me,
l am forever young! Selected

Theme at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, GA, March 6.--The five
years. suspension of Rev. DIR. Armstrong,
of st. Phillips Church, by Bishop Beck
with has been the principal theme OF con-
versation in the city to-day. DR.. Arm
strong has been surrounded all day by
friends OF all denominations, who believe
he has been harshly treated. The Vestry
Of st. Phillips virtually abandoned their
work and have had two meetings. They
feel highly outraged, and are loud in their
abuse Of the Bishop. Public sentiment is
strong in favor Of the suspended rector.
DR.. Armstrong does not know yet what
he will do, but will let his friends advise
as to the best course. The blow las been
a terrible one, and he has no plans for the
future. There is some possibility of
dissensiOn in st. Phillips parish. The
Vestrymen, or a majority of them, demand
reformation IN the government OF the
church. Thus the matter stands. The
greatest feeling exists, and there is no
telling how it may terminate.
LETTER TO THE BISHOP.
DR.. Armstrong to-day addressed let
ter to Bishop Beckwith, in which he says:
81 protest against this final decision as
being unjust and unwarranted by the
testimony presented to the court, and by
the further testimony presented to your
sell in my papers showing cause why the
verdict of the court should not be execu-
ted. AS l have no higher ecclesiastic
tribunal, however, before which TO make
this protest, / can make it only TO God,
who searches all hearts and lives, and to
humanity, whose average judgment Is
neither unjust nor uncharitable. To these
jurors, therefore, do | now appeal to wit
ness to the illegality and injustice OF my
sentence, and to redress in time the
wrongs that the sentence has inflicted
upon mine and me-"
THE vEsTRY TO WITHDRAW.
1t is thought tonight that tine Vestry Of
st. Phillips will withdraw from the
church. EX-GOv. Rufus B. Bullock is the
junior warden, and in an interview to-
night said: "The new evidence laid be-
fore the Bishop established beyond ques-
tion the purity of DR.. ArmstrOng's mo-
tives, and that he was not intoxicated
while in Cincinnati, and that bis visits to
the house of ill fame we're dictated by q
laudable mOtive-the hope of reclalming
a fallen woman. A system of church
government by which such outrageous
injustice as that to DIR. Jardine in Mis-
souri, and DIR. Armstrong in Georgia and
many other such is made possible is not
such q government as will commend IT
self to free people. l am unwilling to

WILL WITHDRAW.

BERLIN, March 6.-The progress of the
debate on the spirit monopoly bill in the
Reichstag has disclosed the fact that there
is no hope Of the measure being passed
unless 1t can be materially amended. On
the second day Of the debate less interest
was manifested by the public under the
certainty that the bill would be referred
TO the committee, and the belief
that the government was pre-
pared TO accept it's ultimate
rejection. The Clericals, Nationals, Lib
erals, Volkspartie and Social Democrats
united against the bill. The National
Liberals expressed their readiness to con-
cede as an alternative the imposition OF
heavy duties upon spirits, proposition
which met with general acceptance.

bill.

''MingO jack" was arrested here early
last evening upon charge Of rape made
by Miss Angeline Herbert, daughter of
James Stewart Herbert, farmer living
on the road which leads from Eatontown
to Asbury Park. The criminal was locked
up in the little brick jail in EatOntOwn.
About O'Clock this morning the jail was
broken open, and after Johnson had been
clubbed until he was nearly dead he was
hanged from grating over the entrance
to the Jail. He was about 70 years old,
and has wife and five children.
FORMERLY A JOCKEY.
He was formerly jockey and got his
nickname, "Mingo," from having ridden
horse of that name.
he has lived here many years and was
well known to his victim, whom he met
In a wooded path near her fathers house.
She is slight, delicate woman or "a. She
had no fear when she met johnson, as
she knew him so we'll, but he knocked
her down, choked and outraged her. He
was known to be violent and had
been shot while in the act of
committing robbery, but had
not been suspected of the crime
which cost his life, although there have
been five similar crimes committed within
FIVE years whose perpetrators were not
detected. The community is rejoiced
over the swift retributiOn that has reach
ed him, and everybody is profoundly ig-
n0rant of who the avengers were.

FLoRIDA's FREEZE,
Report OF the Editorial Visitors on the
Damage Done.


JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March 6.-At the
annual meeting OF the National Editorial
Association. held at Cincinnati, FEB. %,
"a and %, delegation composed of repre-
sentative journalists from is States was
appointed to visit Florida on invitation Of
citizens there and report to the assOcia-
tlon their conclusions as to the effect OF
the recent freeze on the orange industry.
Among the delegates were President
Herbert Of Minnesota, Hon. Edwin Hurl-
but of Wisconsin, Hon. A. B. Norton of
as,Judge Joseph II. Turner of Mis-
souri,. and a number of prominent jour
nalists.
THE PARTY's REPORT.
The party returned to jacksonville last
night, and to-day adopted and signed an
official report, in which they say: "In a
journey of 800 miles, covering nearly
80 600 square miles of territory, at nearly
every important station we have visited
orange groves and examined the state Of
the trees and the extent Of the damage
done. The country travelled over COM
prises the main orange-producing dis
trict OF the State. In nearly all of that
district we found evidences of the frost.
In many places lemon and other less
hardy fruit trees are killed. These trees,
however, are OF rapid growth, and will be
speedily replaced by new trees.
SOME LEAVES NOT KILLED.
"In many localities where orange groves
are sheltered in some degree by other
trees the frost was not sufficiently severe
to kill the leaves on the trees. In other
localities the leaves have dropped from
the trees and the fruit is destroyed. A
large portion Of the crop. however, had
been gathered before the frost came, TINS
lessening the severity of the damage.
Those trees that have lost their leaves
are rapidly coming out anew and new
leaves, buds and blossoms were seen in
many Of the groves. Not only this, but at
nearly every station we have seen ex-
hibits Of ORANGES, cuttings from trees,
etc., showing the different stages of the ad-
vance already made IN leaves, buds and
blossoms. These have been supplemented
at many points by exhibits OF vegetables
and grain OF excellent quality"
THE CONCLUSION REACHED.
After giving careful and specific details
of other observations at various points
visited the committee says:
''0ur observations lead to the conclu-
sion that the reports so unfaYOrable to the
orange industry which followed the frost
were largely the result of panic among
the orange growers themselves arising
from insufficient information. The few
weeks which have since elapsed have
changed the face Of nature and lifted a
cloud from Florida's great industry.
THE FREEZE BENEFIT.
"It seems to be almost the universal
opinion among orange growers that the
freeze will really be benefit to the peO.
pie of Florida in showing that orange
trees are able to withstand more severe
| frosts and colder weather than has here
tOtOre been considered possible, and in
encouraging the discovery or invention
Of more efficient methods OF protection
and the preservation OF the crop. This
report is signed by q delegates represent
