Aaron Powell's Lecture.

Aaron w. Powell being In the city on
Saturday vas induced to remain over
and address the Sunday meeting OF the
Red Ribbon Temperance Association
yesterday consequently that association
secured the Wilmington Institute for
public meeting. Owing however 20 the
Hhoft notice given the audience though
respectahly large in numbers did not
more than half I'LL the audience room
Mr.. Powell 10 editor Of the National
Temperance Advocate, publlshed at
New York.
The frst part OF his lecture was refu'
tation OF the idea that strong drink
was helpful or necessary to persons 10
good health, and but seldom 30 in csses
Of sickness or prolonsed disease. tn
second part OF mis- lecture was devosed
60 an esrnest advocacy OF prohibition.
Mr.. Powell, in reply to the repeated
assertions that prohi oition Was o fall
ure In the State of Maine, told OF 8
prolonged visit he paid to that State,
and was the guest of General Neal
Dow, of Portland. He says the Gene
raj pointed out to him the site where
there had been severa large dietilleries
but there was not a dissillery nor 9
brewery now in the State. Prohibition
he said, may have been failure IN
Maine, but this was certainly no evi
d ence of It. That there were placer
where liquors could be had he had NJ
doubt, but there were no open indica
lions that liquors were kept and solS
anywhere. This, he thought, was !
very fair argument in favor OF prohi
bition when compared with Whining
ton, where saloons abounded by tn
hundred.
He said he was taken to the tow
hall in Portland, the lower story o
which was used for conhscated kegs
barrels. cans, jugs and bottles used II
smuggling liquors. The confiscate'
liouor had been poured down a pip
that led to . sewer until the city au
thoritIes in the office above objected t
this de on account of the fumes {
the whiskey which reached their nos
trils and became too intolerable to b
borne. a law was then passed al
the con fscated liquors were convey 4
in dravs and dumped into the river 6
the risk OF killiHg all the hsh in u
harbor.
Mr.. Powell gave an amusing accoun
of this dumping process, he having lee
an eye witness 10 it. Mr. Powell ~
very severe on Secretary Bayard for b
active opposition to all proposei leu
peranoe le.ielatlon. He advised Il
tsmpersn nee people Of Delaware 10 bIil
Senator Salisbury out squarely or u
Temperance side, as he was said to be
teetotaler. Hegave a humorous accom-
OF how the Senator stoutiy vote
against the liqnor com mission BIZ
because the interests OF his party j
him % to vote. Mr.. Powell urge
au ileuc1 20 nevsr cease their etfoI
IN behalf of total prohibit ion.

Last February when the homeopathic
physicians OF this city and vicinity
hold their meetipg, 1t was determined
to request the Mayor TO give them
represen tative IN the Board of Health,
which be would appoint In April
This course was decided upon In view
OF the fact that large proportion OF
the residents OF this city have every
faith In the new school, and that this
number 10 daily increasing. Dr
Cooper, in company with DR.. Crum-
baueh, accord inRly called upon the
Mayor aud were cordially rect wed, ana
after this matter had been fully dis
cussed were requested by him to pre-
pare a communication setting fortn
their demands, and giving cases where
HON e opathics bad been appreciated In
other places. A lengthy oommunica
ton was prepared, asking that enc pny'
stefan of the new school should be ap
pointed on the board, and stating that
the hon ropathic physicians represent
| in their practice over one-haf OF ths
population, and at least two-thiros OF
the capital of this city. A NUN Der oil
preeedents were also cited, showing
that In California, Michigan, Illinois
and q number of other States theil
claims had hten recognized, AND
hon Bopathic physicians appointed OF
Boards of Health and to other respon
sible positions. In conclusion the com
lmuDication says:

The Red Ribbon Association attended
Delaware Avenue Baptist Ohurch lsst
night to hear temperance sermon "
the Rev. DIR. ]. 7. Boothe. President
Jabez Hodson OF the Red RiDon Aseooi'
alton occupied seat ON the platform.
After some excsllent music by the
church choir In the body OF the cnurcn'
and the Sunday School choir In the
gallery, also the reading OF the SCRIP
lures and pray ers, DIR Boothe maze an
interesting financial statement OF the
floating debt Of the church. He stated
that he did not take advantage OF the
visitors who wero present to make this
statement, but only because It was q
part OF the program Of the day. He
said that when he came TO take charge
OF the church he found, 10 his great
surprise, an onerous floating debt rest
ing upon the church that should have
been paid OF by his predecessors, but IL
had not been paid and was now staring
them In the face.
The debt he said reached about $500
He made an appeal TO the congregation
In the morning 10 do what they could
to liqaidats that debt and TO his great
surprise $500 was subscribed. This he
considered remarkable for a congrega-
ton OF only 400 mem bers, and showed q
more healthy condition than when u
numbered |, O0O, 200 or ! 300 mem oers.
There were as good and devoted Chris
tian men and women in Delaware Ave
nue. Church as can be found In any other
church in the city. He told abou5
lady who bad not been going to tha'
church. but was induced TO wend heI
way there yesterday, and when the suit
lscripiiop was taken up she threw In
$40 gold piece. He believed the spirit
OF G ID led that lady to Delaware Ave
nue. Church, and he had no doubt sh'
was as much blessed in giving as The
church was In receiving.
He wanted to have this debt liQni-
dated and the church placed on a sounc
financial basis, and he requeeted th'
aid of all who had any sympathy for
strugaling church. If any body fel
like giving aid ard would drop posta
to him he would call upon them when
ever they might be, even II he travelet
miles into the country to see them

then proceeded and preached q power

bringing Out a New Potato.

Some eminent bOtanists and prominent
seedsmen put their heads together two
years ago 10 produce a new potato. Our
family variety is by birth native of the
high Andes, perhaps the very driest
region on the worlds surface. Ii oc-
Cured to these scientific persons that the
terrible disease TO which the root has of
late years become liable might he due TO
the fact that il is extensively cultivated
in the wettest parts of Europe. Darwin,
however, discovered a wild potato in the
ChOnOs Archipelago. off the southeast
coast of South AmeIe,a, which fiOurished
naturally in the wettest marshes. So
Lord Cathcart and his friends resolved 10
try TO harden the potato of commerce by
crossing it with the moisture loving kind.
Roots were procured from Kew and the
flowers fertiIized from the best native
sorts. Seeds were thus obtained from the
Kew plants for the first time, and the
tubers developed surprisingly under cul-
tivation and proved Of fair edible quality.
The plants grown from the hybrid seed
grains have just produced a fine crop both
in quality and weight. But slight initial
error has somewhat spoiled the expert
ment. The Kew plant turns out not to
have been wet potato from the Chonos
Archipelago at all but only wild variety
of the common kind. The men of science
must try again.-English Paper.
