Sentinel ora st. John

Notwithstanding the pouring
rain Wednesday evening, ex Gov.
st. John, of Kansas, had a large
crowd at the Rink, to listen to his
argument in favor Of prohibition.
He spoke for near two hours, and
made very effective and pleasing
effort. He is evidently a success
full speaker, and has the knack OF
interesting and holding an au-
dience without WEAKNESS. He
talks fuently and continuously,
enlivaning his remarks every now
and then with w,9olll, chosen anec-
dotes,and appropriate applications.
He makes the wonderful state
ment that, in proportion to the
population, West Virginia has
fewer saloons than any other State
in the Union. His speech no doubt
helped the prohibition cause.-Sem-
