The temperance warfare.

How little we knew when the crusade
began that iU was the voice of God calling
to us out of the midst of the fire. The
motherhood and sisterhood Of this nation
have been following that voice onward and
upward until to-day we realize that God is
indeed frightening our cords and strength
ening our stakes in our Christian endeavor
to lead the youths Of to-day over Jordan
into the promised land of peace and purity.
At first we only saw the saloon and the
man who went to ruin in it, the broken
hearted wife, the destitute and helpless
children. To-day our work has broaden
ed and we have called in all the aid of the
forces of heaven.
Science must be our servant and to this
end scientific temperance Instruction laws,
providing for the teaching Of the truth to
the children on this most vital subject,
have been through our efforts passed, and
whether we are raising money, distribu-
ting literature, circulating petitions and
watching them through the Legislature,
teaching science, or doing the most secular
of all our work, we have but one plrpose
in view-that salvation may come to the
most helpless as we'll as the most respecta-
Bile sinner.
We claim the earth; its mines, its terri
tory, its highways by land and sea. its
fields Of waving grain, its cattle on a
thousand hills, as we'll as its stores of in
tellect to be the blood bought purchase of
our master as well as the souls of men.
We do not believe that he consents to have
the juices Of fruits or grain converted into
alcohol; that the lumber from the forests
or the rock from the quarries should be
used in building distilleries; that great
highways of commerce should be used to
carry this great curse where the gospel of
peace should only go; that the precious
metals should be coined and invested in a
business that brings misery into homes
and turns men into beasts and law into
license and leads justice by a string.
We believe that our Master calls upon
all men and women who call themselves
by His name, to unite in this great war
fare of right against wrong and destroy
this enemy out of his heritage.
The Christian church can stay on her
knees saying THY kingdom come, Thy
will be done" and 'lead us not into temp
tation but deliver us from evil" while
their brothers are staggering down their
aisles into a drunkard's grave; while if
she would arise, with one vote conse-
Grated to Christ she could sweep this curse
from our land. Hrs. R, Hall, in Neu
Republic.

A woman crazed nv Cigarettes.

A despatch from Chicago says: Mrs.
Joseph G. Walters, twenty-eisht years old,
the wife of a travelling salesman, has been
adjudged insane, and will be sent to an
asylum. Her husband and her broth
er. George Stang, testified that in their
opinion her insanity was due to the excess
sive use Of cigarettes. Two years ago size
was troubled by hay fever, and tried cubeb
cigarettes for relief. From cpbebs it was
an easy step to tobacco cigarettes, and the
habit once formed became SO strong that
Mrs. Walters smoked them almost CON
stantly. Her friends tried in vain to induce
her to stop smoking. and five months ago
her mind began 10 give away. When she
was taken into custody a package of
cigarettes was found in her pocket. Doc
tors say it is doubtful If she ever RECEIVERS.

Hail Rates TO Washington for the In
nuguratIOm VIA Penna. II. Il.

The Inauguration of P~resident-elect Har-
riSou promises to be the most largely at
tended as well as the most interesting oc-
casion of the kind ever held in the Ma
tional Capital. Political clubs and civic
organizations from a majority of the States,
as well as the militia of all the neighboring
States, will take part in the inaugural pa
rade, while vast throngs of visitors from
all parts of the country will swell the as
semblage. The inaugural ball will be the
finest ever given in honor of a new Presi-
dent. To accommodate the host of visitors
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
arrange a complete service of through
trains to Washington. Besides the special
movement all regular trains will be run in
as many sections as the demands of travel
require, so that one may leave any princi-
pal station of the system on Friday, Satur-
day or Sunday previous to the InaCgura-
ton, and arrive in Washington without
delay. The handsome and c~ommodious
station of the company is situated in the
very heart of the city, on Pennsylvania
Avenue, ON the line of the inaugural pro-
c~ession, a few squares from the capitol,
and within a few minutes walk OF the
principal hotels and public buildings.
The capacity of the terminal facilities of
this company was fully demonstrated at
the last inaugura, ion, when 100 900 passen-
gers were handled, without accident or de-
lay, in forty-eight hours.
In order to enable the overflow of Wash
ington to go to Baltimore for hotel accom-
modations the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will, on March LIST, I'd, Sd, and 4th,
place on sale excursion tickets to Bait
imorc, good for return trip until March
18th, at s1.20.
Excursion tickets at half rates will be
sold from all ticket stations on the Penn
sylyania Railroad System, March LIST. Cd,
3D., and 4th, valid for return passage until
the 18th.
The round-trip rate from Woodstown
will be $4.St.

DR.. Atterbury suggested yesterday to
the Excise Board that when licenses to sell
liquor or beer are granted ''the name of
the owner of the promises should also be
inserted and his consent to the sale of
liquors obtained. If this had been done"
DR.. Atterbury added, church associations
would never, as IN previous years, have
leased buildings to liquor dealers" That's
a good idea, and we hope the Excise
Board will adopt it. 1t would be useful
also when the police descend upon some
uncommonly malodorous den in this city
and drag the unfortunate occupants be-
fore a police justice, to bring along in the
same crowd the owner of the property.
That would do more for the cause of dec
ency than to ''send up" a lot OF unfortun-
ates. Property has its duties as well as its
rigbts.-Herald, non. %.

A decision handed down by the United
States Supreme Court recently, is particu-
larly interesting to wild ows and orphans.
1t holds that the proceeds of a life insur-
ance policy made payable to q mans wife
or children cannot under any circumstances
be attached by his creditors afterh his death.
The claim of the creditors was that the
man was insolvent when he took the policy
out, and that the money paid as premiums
upon it was not his own, but belonged to
his creditors.

Hereditary DegeneracY.

The evil of strong drink would be of
comparatively small magnitude if only
those addicted to its use were involved in
the deplorable consequences. The editor
of the Northwestern Lancet, in a suggestive
article On ''The Medical Aspect of Inc
brity," says: "The close relationship of
insanity, epilepsy, and inebrity is strongly
shown by the remarkable manner in which,
through heredity, one form of disease
may pass into another, as where drunken
ness in one generation is followed by cpl
lepsy or insanity in the succeeding genera
tions.o 1t is this inevitable nerve or brain
deterioration on the part of those of a previ-
ous generation who INDUCED in alcoholic
beverages, and became parents, which I'M
doubtedly would, if careful Investigation
should be made, account for the presence
therein of many at the present time of those
by whom our insane asylums and hospitals
are over-crowded. The drink evil involves
not only those Immediately connected with
the drinker here and now, but leaves a fear
full legacy of suffering aud incompetency
to future generations.-N 7. Temperance

Never in our history as merchants
have we been SO well prepared to
take care of ourselves and our GUS
toners on BOOTS and SHOES as
we are at this present time. We
placed our orders early in the sea-
son when the work-people were not
hurried, and the consequence is that
we have a BETTER, LARGER and
CHEAPER stock than ever before.
We own now and have in posses
sion over Fifty Cases of Mems and
Boys Boots-all kinds, all prices.
The celebrated F. S. Reeve boots
as low as S2.25. You all know this
make Of goods. Mr.. Reeve is a
conscientious man and don't put his
name on anything that is not worthy
oft. We are the only agents for
the Lester Boot. We sold these
largely last year and have not had
a single complaint, though we have
taken great pains to make inqliry
Of those we sold them to. The uni
versal verdict is that there are none
better. We al give you good bar
gains in boots and you do yourself
injustice if you fail to take a look at
our stock. We don't care so much
for profits as we do to sell the
goods.
In Ladies and Children's wear
and goods adapted to their wants
we are quite as fortunate as on
Mems and Boys goods. While we
have all desirable makes and grades
in Children's and Women's wear.
We would especially call attention to
