The scene was most impressive when the chancellor, upon reaching his p,Aoe, officially communicated to +'-o mperial pooy \ the intelligence of the e-..perors death, which 1iIt1ast eloo aently, and with an extraor- of feeling.

ingly give example of total abstinence,
that such revolution would be wrought
among all classes of our people that in
a little while it would be hard to find an
example Of intemperance among us.
The great trouble is that many hold
themselves aloof from and regard the
movement as specially reserved for 9th
ers. They regard it as poor mans
movement. Now, every man has more
or less ambition and likes to be claSsed
with the well-tO-do and respectable. and
when these latter get together and take
their sherry (Or something stronger and
go, from time to time, Into well-kept and
orderly saloons, why, the poor laborerS
think they have to be fashionable too
they must do like their bettelS, and
if they cannot cross the threshold OF
the
SO-CALLED ORDERLY SALOON,
they will go into the corner grog
shop. These poor men pay
little attention to what you say: they
are more impressed with your actions.
| propose this afternoon that you will
come and join the total abstinence So
ciety. Let it be known far and wide
that the Catholics are doing a noble
work, and hundreds will join you and a
whole people will be saved and re-
deemed. We have but little of the
spirit of the Savior if we are bargain
ing with ourselves to see how little we
may do and avoid sin. The merit lies
in doing that which we are not COM
PEELED to do; then we can render this
test to our own conScienceS-that we are
doing a service for the love OF God
through djSiIltereSted zeal.

no class OF rank. 1t is found in the
hearts of rich and poor alike, and in the
hearts of those neither rich nor
poor. This is terribly competi-
tive age. To the man who
looks on the struggle it seems
as though every man was trying to get
to the top, no matter who may be
crushed in the melee. This is not the
right picture for man to see, and the
man who looks on the world in that way
has diseased liver or unnatural heart.
There is struggle for existence and a
survival of the fittest, but let us make
as many as possible fit.
The prudent, careful husbandry OF
the things God has given man isn't
selfshness. God intended that man
should
TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.
No man need stand forth at this day
and defend the dignity of labor. No
body but snob sneers at the man who
labors. You can't lift up the human
race all at once. This has got to be
done individually. In the great day, in
my opinion, it will not be labor and
capital, but rich man and poor man, and
not corporations that in the eyes OF the
law have no souls, but those who sell
themselves to corporations.

TAKEN BY WHISKY.
a Story Told by Bishop Ireland in
His Temperance Talk iester-
dow

| n StOfy lOIu ny BISHOP aEtiuHu III
His Temperance Talk Iester-
day.
1t must have been gratifying sight
to Bishop Ireland when he arose to de-
liver his address at Market hall yester-
day afternoon, for every seat was taken.
The hall was damp and cold, but the
warmth and enthusiasm of the bishops
remarks kept every body good-natured.
1t was the old theme of temper
ance that was discussed, but a
theme that always seems new
when handled by Bishop Ireland.
He made stirring address that took
hold of the audience so forcibly that at
its conclusion fully 200 enrolled them
selves under the banner of total absti-
nence.
During the meeting the Crusaders
rendered several songs with good effect.
In the course OF his remarks, the bishop
said: San IriShman is a devil only
when he has the devil of intemperance
in him."
The bishop at this point narrated the
following story to give point to the
statement just made: There was once
a council of devils held in the internal
regions to consider the interests OF his
Satanic majesty. And the head devil,
rising, made complaint that i'll all his
fiery realms there was not single Irish
man.
"'This is dreadful state of things
said he. We want representatives of
all natienalities here, and we must have
IriShmen.' And he asked the advice OF
his lesser lights in the matter. Various
opinions were given out.
S.iI onn. I.lVa triad tbap1 in I1roc-
perity and the island was free, prosper
Gus and renowned, but they still re-
manned faithful to God"
Said another: eve tried them in adj
versity and the British came and over
powered and prosecuted them, but they
still remained mistaken"
At last, after all the devils had about
exhausted their wits with some scheme
to trap the willy son of Erin, one little
imp, more precocious than the rest,
spoke up saying: 'There is but one
way to reach those people,"
land how is that?' Queried the old
devil.
We must devise some means of MAX
ing fools of Them" quoth the little imp,
''for an Irish fool is the worst fool on
EARTH"
"Well," says the old devil, "if you
Gall cOIlCOCG SOlllcJliliiS llldb VIII pJCdi
away their senses, you may rest assured
of promotion to a high position within
my Kingdom"
And the little devil went to Ireland
and examined her fair land, her mount
aims, her rivers, her cities, and, finally,
after days and nights of mental struggle
and worry, he at last invented whisky.
Having done so, the devil set the Irish
men at work manufacturing the stuff.
and public houses were opened to dis
peEse the poison. Soon the people
rushed i'll with their money to the sup
port of these houses, and soon the Irish
men came tunlhiing down in hell so
fast that it became necessary to widen
out its portals, and the little imp came
back, and with look of intense glee on
his face, said to the head devil:
well, didn't l succeeds
And the old devil, with a chuckle of
satisfaction, acknowledged that he did

EULOGIZED THE UNION.
Prominent Men Say Good Words
for the Gospel Temperance
Union


for the Gospel Temperance
Union.
Christians and church workers from
all parts of the city, and of almost
every creed, gathered in the opera house
yesterday afternoon to celebrate the
anniversary of the founding of the Cos
pei Temperance union. The house was
packed full from top to bottom, and the
meeting was enthusiastic and earnest.
Bishop Gilbert presided, while back of
him OH the platform were the choirs
and pastors OF many Of the leading
churches of the city. DR.. Gilbert
opened the meeting with a short adj
dress on the necessity of such an Or
ganization, and briefly outlined the
work of the society DR.. Dana was i'll
troduced as the first speaker.
II intend only to speak of the econ
omic work of the society,"" said DR..
Dana. ANY society chat does this
moral work, performs economic work
that cannot be 0verestlmated. The
average criminal costs the state $1,000
per year. Add to this what this GRIM
inal might prOdu ce in some industrious
calling, and the sum would be doubled.
This matter is worth everything to our
that the criminal classes are rapidly in
creasing in this country and as rapidly
decreasing in Great Britain. This is an
institution which should broaden into
the Peoples institute, on the plan OF
the Workingmen'S associations OF Eng
land.
THOMAS COCHRAN. JR.,
Thomas Cochran, Jr., was next intro
duced. He entered vigorous, though
somewhat lengthy, plea for more liberal
contributions to the movement. ''The
only hope of America" he said, sis in
the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel
contains the only solution of the labor
problem. 1t Is a gospel of hope. be-
cause gospel of redemption"
81 haven't much confidence in any re-
formatory," said Rev. T. o. Holman, of
the First NJ. E. church, ''that hasn't the
gospel attached to it somehow. With a
gilded saloon on every corner to catch
the young men, it is high time some
movement was made to furnish some
other attractive place for them to spend
their surplus time in"
Rev. W. w. Dawley, of the Woodland
Park Baptist church, was the next
speaker. 1.-The number of converts
made" he said, sis not the true criter-
ion by which to Judge of the good ac
complished by church OF society. It's
better to keep man from falling than
to raise him up after he has fallen"
Ex-Gov. Marshall and w. n. Sever
ance made short speeches eulOgizing the
movement. A collection was taken up
and the meeting broke up.
The ST. Anthony Hill and Y. M. G. A.
Orches tras were in attendance and fur
nished the instrumental music.
