The Evil Effects of Pear Cider,

The Evil Effects of Pear Cider.
Five Elktonians who are not very
strict Sabbitarians last Sunday procured
a small steam yacht and went down Elk
river on a frolc. They turned their boat
up Back creek and anchored before loug
at Chess peake City. AT this place they
fell in with the pear cider dealers, of
whom Chesapeake City can boast of not
lew. The pear OF that place is Il
strong article and guaranteed to show its
effects in short while, being not like
that of Elkton aud other places taken
| trom the bottle but drawn straight from
the key. The E.lktonlans imbibed freely,
alas too freely, as the consequences con-
clusively prove 1t WAS almost dark when
they started on the return trip The
'boys' were all pretty well soaked aud
could not see very straight. They steam
ed out of b lck creek into Elk river, but
after turning, made the serious mistake
of uncousciouSly entering d ,in the creek
Instead of keeping up the noble waters
of the f k. Great was their surprise to
again lind themselves III Chesapeake
City. They at once turued the boat and
steamed again down the creek Whether
they turned around in the creek or
whether the boat again went into the
waters of the Elk and got on the wrong
side OF the point, the imbibers of the sue
culent "pear" know not and no more
does the writer, but it is a positive fact
that the little steam yacht again brought
up at wharf in Chesa peake City. Tue
EIktonians realizing that they were not
in condition to navigate the yacht and
scarcely able to navigate themselves de-
cided IT, leave the yacht where she was
and 90 home by land. Two of them went
ashore to phil the boat to the wharf while
the others were left on board one poor
fellow lost his equilibrium when the
others gave the rope jerk and dashed
him head fprem JSt into the dark waters
of Back Creek. He was tiShed ont by
one OF his companions il sorry plight
The crowd got liveryman to.take them
home after tying the Yacht tn wharf
They made the mistake, however. of tying
it at brit one end aud when the tide fell
the low steam yacht tioated under the
wharf, where it was caught by the flood
tide and all of it except the flag pole
emerged. The boat was raised the next
day aud brought home by person who
was sent after it. Oar advice to Elkton-
ians IS hereafter when they visit Chesa-
peake to spend their time with the pretty
gilIs of that place and not "nonkey"
with pear cider.

VOTE FOR PROHIBITION.

EDITOR WING A good deal has been
said against prohibition, but if our county
volers could only see some of the sights
we are compelled to witness in Elkton,
and which are the result of drunkenness,
they could easily decide how to vote on
the license question. refer to a class
OF poor debased rum drinkers, who have
through whi>key lost III respect for them
selves aud every body else, and We, who
they think their enemies, will during the
coming winter, be compelled to feed and
clothe their families, DIS what little money
they earu will be spent for rum. Now
in all reason, will not every sensible man
think it great kindness to this class of
men, to bring about any measure to pre-
vent rum selling? In the towns of Cecil
county can be seen the best evidences of
the necessity of prohibition. We who
live in these towns put up with the nui
sance of this illicit traffic seven DAYS in
the week, aud "A hours in the day, and
yet if the advocates of high license were
sincere in what they say they wouli vote
against license. because they assert that
there is more lqnor sid in Elkton now,
tnan Wnen we ildn me Olu Incense system.
Now if what they say is true, prohIbi-
tion will still increase the sale of rum.
But they prefer high license, which
means license for all who want to engage
in the traffic since if the keepers of our
low groggerles cannot raise the money to
pay for their licenses, the big brewers will
raise it for them, aud the sales of Rum
will go on. 1t is plain then. that they do
not believe what they say. They III their
hearts know that license means an III
crease of the rum traffic, and tn It prohi-
bltlOn means Its decrease.
If we expect and hope for wealth
health, ana prosperity in our beauGiiul
towns and in our county, we must vote
against license. believe the great ma
jrrity of those who vote for license have
not conscientiously considered this ques-
ton i'll its important bearing upon them
selves as individuals and citizens. | wish
all our voters in the county could see the
evil as it atfi cts our larger communities,
for | believe they would to man come
ont and vote for prohibition, for the good
ot the present and coming generations.

What to Eat and How to Cook 1t.

The demonstration lecture by Mrs s.
I. Rorer. principal of the Philadelphia
Cooking School. ON Thursday evening
last at Odd Fellows Hall, was not as
well attended as it would have been had
he weather notbeen SD untavorable. The
audience though small was select and
contained many of EIItun's best houSt
keepers. The lecturers subject was
What to f 1t AID How To Cook It," She
began 10y few general remarks Oh the
snb, ect aud spoke Ut the great import
anct ot good cooking. The food of the
poor was generally not of a uutrlclOns
character In town in PenuS> lvania

Shop. His food not giving him sufficient
nourshment, he seeks it IN rum She
spoke of the good work her cooking cl ,ss
had accomplished IN Phiiadelphia. and
advised the ladies of Ekton to enlig hten
their poor on this important matter. She
prepared before the audience mock
bisque soup, CHI ,rlotte russo aud chicken
croluettes and explained how milk bis
cults We're made. Many questions We're
asked her by the ladies present concern
ing the work. Mrs. R,rer IN turn ques
toned the audience. and although some
of those present knew how To prepare the
articles, they did not know enough about
familiar science and the chemistry OF
food to explain why they did this aud
that. Mrs. Rorer particularly impressed
on her audience the Importance of al
ways measuring the quantities OF the diff
ferent things needed in the m Ak ing of
any article and not to depend Oh guess
work. Those present we've we'll please
with the lecture, and were Mrs. Rorer
to return under more favorable circum-
stances we doubt not that she would be
greeted with much larger audience.
