John Il. Cough.

The National Temperance Soci-
ETY. have just published memoir
al pamphlet of john B. Cough, the
great Temperance orator, whose re-
cent death so saddened the whole
English-speaking world. The
pamphlet contains three anniver-
sary addresses of Mr.. Cough for the
National Temperance Society, and
a sketch of his life by Theodore l..
Cuyler, D. D., his lifelong friend.
and the prelude to the lecture of
Rev. Joseph Cook, delivered in
his Monday Lecture Course, Febru-
airy %, 1886, which gives a very
detailed and excellent account of
the events and ACHIEVEMENTS of Mr..
Coughs life, together with an ex-
cellent wood-cut portrait OF the
great orator, taken from a recent
photograph. The addresses con-
tain some of Mr.. Coughs most elo-
quent sayings on the great Tenn.
perance question, and are repre-
sentative ones. The pamphlet
should have a wide circulation
among all those who have heard
or known Mr., Cough, or loved him
for his grand work for God and hu.
manity.

The First Miracle.

The miracle Ct Cana, the Sun
day School lesson for the 18th of
April, gives an excellent opportu-
nifty for the introduction of Tenn
pesance teaching. The readiness
with which large number of Sun
day Schools provided themselves
WITH tracts and pamphlets for the
31stof January, shows how willing
people are to read when they have
Something to the point. This lesson
gives a chance to examine the
question about what wine was
probably made by our Lord. A new
penny paper, "The Wine which
the Bible Commends," also the lar
ger pamphlet, "Wine and Truth"
with other tracts, will be sent to
any address, on receipt of 10 cents.

wEILsBURG.
Wellsburg is too busy to report,
but the Herald posts US as to their
whereabouts.
Besides telling US of the w. G. T..

on election day the Herald gives us
these items also:
"School children have numerously
donned the blue ribbon to show
their sympathy for the dry ticket.
We have seen none Of the reds.
All quarters unite in pronoun-
cling the anti-license ticket the best
in many years.
If the 600 women petitioners to
the Council of two years ago could
but vote, the license people would
be so near annihilated as to not
know what struck them, The 800
will be hoard from in another way,
however"
Before this reaches our readers,
the election will be past. We hope
the FREEMAN may be able to bring
you good news from Wellsburg on

How Wealth is Created.
From Demorest's Monthly for March.

CFoln DeWoreSt s monthly Tor March,
In no era of the world has wealth
been created so rapidly as during the
last thirty years. With our forefathers
land was the foundation of all riches,
but in this modern era corporate owner
ship develops the largest accumulations
The telephone companies furnish case
in point. One of these, for instance,
was organized with capital of Sl,OOO,-
0DO. The hundred dollar shares at first
sold below S25, but they rapidly adj
vanced to $1,000. Then an additional
S90OO,0O0 was put on the market, and
subsequently the capitaliz 4tion was in
creased to S20,OOO,OOO The hundred
dollar shares Of this company are now
quoted at Sl75 which means that the
possessor of one of the original shares
for which S25 was paid has not only
received in dividends many times the
amount Of the purchase-money, but
actually owns stock to the amount of
$1,000. or $40 for every dollar origin
ally invested. There are. quite num-
Der of telephone companies in which
the stockholders have done equally
well. All over the country will be
found rich men who have made their
fortunes in corporate investments of
this character
