M. C. r. ". NOTES.


HOW l WOULD FAINT 4 BAR-RooM
IComposition read before the Steuben County Good
Az@s2zssA II had the adjoining OF
NH bar-room. it should he
GWHEEES done somewhat in this
NESAHA wise: Onone sideI would
PAINT Death on the Pale
Horse,n his arm welding
the thunderbolt to the fiery heofs of his
flying steed, treading downeverything
fair and lovely; the Garden of Eden
before him, blackened waste behind
him. On the other side would draw
the picture of a wretched hovel-once
happy home; the roof broken in, the
windows stuffed with rags; in the door
way coping wife with ragged chill
dren ellnging TO her skirts. piteously
beseeching her for bread. In the dis
lance should he seen the once happy
husband and father, NOW Keeling
drunkard, on his way from the village
tavern to the hut ne calls his home.
Back of the bar, in full view Of the
b.oated creatures that stand with the
cup to their lips, I would paint COM
pany of demons in the death-dance OF
fiendish hilarity, around fire kindied
with the flames of alcohol, and over it
would write in lurid letters, "Moder-
ate drinking lights the flames that
burns to the lowest hell"
Opposite the bar should be lonely
and dishonored grave; lightning
blasted tree should stretch its leafless
branches over it; and on some withered
bough should perch the melancholy
owl, hooting to the wintry moon. AT
the foot of the grave should kneel the
angel of mercy, with hands and eyes
appraised to the plying heavens. and at
the head of the grave should be the an
gel of justice carving, with stern, re-
lentless hands, upon the tombstone
these fearful words of doom: INC
Drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom
of God"
In the intervening spaces / woult
have here a grinning skeleton, ant
there broken heart, shattered hour
glass, a stranded boat, torch extin
guished in blackness of darkness; while
from over the doorway and from thu
ceiling should look down all kinds o
woeful human faces, pale, imploring
wrathful, deadly, despairing. The WALL
of the room should be shrouded in sack
cloth, and the floor covered with ashe
and wreathed i'm weeping willow ant
gloomy cypress, while all the vessel
that held the damDing fluid should b.
black-black as the gates of doom.
Then I would call the rumseller,
he would, to take his place behind tilt
bar, and though few besotted wretch
es, hardened in sin, might stagger vi
to the bar and drink defiance to thei
fate, yet SHOULD hope that the young
the pride of mothers, and the ligh
of homes-might turn away as though
they had caught glimpse of the in
fernal world.

RUM AND IRREvERENCE.
Christian ADVOCATE.

ChflStiGn <iuCOCute,
The liquor traffic is connected with
everything which is vile and democrat
izing. 1t is direct foe to religion, not
only by robbing the people of reason,
but by the atmosphere of irreverence
that fills the saloons.
Having occasion to send telegram
suddenly, the editor of this paper went
into the nearest Office, which was in a
large rum-shop. After transacting the
business, his attention was attracted to
sign oyer the bar: DON'T SWEAR"
Thinking this strange, he drew near to
read it, and found the word "0f" in
small letters after the word "swear."
A new drink has been invented
which has the suggestive name, 1.-The
quick and the dead" The liquor bus
mess kills the quick, and sends the
dead unprepared to judgment.
A politician once hailed us to secure
what influence we might have for his
candidacy as Mayor. 1t was in front
of hotel. His cronies at the bar with
in, not knowing the cause of his delay,
and the drinks being ready, called,
"Come, B., communion !" showing
that they used the holy mystery of the
Lords Supper as symbol of their
bacchanalian revels.
Yet this infamous breeder of profane-
ness, crime and death is in partnership
with the government, duly licensed,
aud protected by law.

THE WONDER OF TIE AGE.

A Canadian Invention That Is
Carrying Away the Visitors at
the State Fair-The L. j. Nc
Bride Straw, Wood and Coal
Burning Stove.
One of the greatest attractions at the
State Fair is McBrde's patent straw,
wood and coal-burning stove, exhibited
by Mr.. HOweS in the st. Paul Storage,
Forwarding & Implement cOmpany's
department. 1t convinced the most
Skeptical of the feasibility OF utilizing
straw for fuel. An ordinary drum of
straw, weighing about twelve pounds,
makes hot fire for an hour and
quarter to an hour and half. In adj
dition to being thoroughly practicable
1t is handsome in design, and its value
to people living in prairie country Is
hard to estimate.
The stove Oh exhibition was manu-
featured by the E. IL c. Quincy COM
pany, of Hamilton, Toronto, Montreal
ana Winnipeg, who are manufacturing
it for Manitoba and the Northwest ter
ritOreS of Canada. Immediate steps
will be taken 10 arrange for the manu-
facture o. this stove either i'll st. Paul
Or Minneapolis, to supply the North
investigated by st. Paul capitalists and
property OWNERS, as every manufactury
added TO cur city increases its wealth,
as il is evident the demand for those
stoves will be unlimited.
TBE BEST IN THE WORLD.
Such Was the Verdict of the Ma
Uionai Firemen'S Convention on
the Watrous Hand Fire Engine.
Near the east door of Machinery

| a WatrouS hand fire engine from
the works in South st. Paul. The Whole
machine weighs only :, 500 pounds. and
Is the best thing Of the kind made III
I the world. SO good is it that a COM
! mittee appointed by the National Chief
| Fire Engineers association last
? spaing TO inspect it, reported
rs above stated and recommend
| ed its Use by all volunteer fire c0mpa-
/ mics. The company at South st. Paul,
| though less than year Old las already
| manufactured and sold large number.
| They employ thirty men al the works
| and have a paid-up capital of $3.50, zoe.

BISMARCK. D. T., Sept. 13.-Several
Sioux Indians passed through here
to-day, and when questioned as to their
destination, said they were going to the
Berthold agency to visit their friends
there. 1t is believed, however, that
they are in pursuit of one of the IN
dianS who is said to have signed the
treaty for the opening of the reSerya-
ton. and who Is said To have left the
reservation several days ago. In con-
VerSatiOn the Indians who were here
to-day stated that they would never
sign the treaty, and that those who
would sign it would receive pretty Sc
we're treatment. They left for the
north. and all expected to hasten back
to the reservation at an early date.
These Indians are followers and adj
mirers of Sitting Bull. and it is quite
evident from their remarks that they
are simply repeating his sentiments.
Among other information learned was
the fact that al a council held near the
Standing Rock agency recently Sitting
Bull Gall and John Grass took a vote
on the question OF opening the reServa-
ton. and not one among their followers
voted in favor OF the bill. They took
the names of all those opposed to the
treaty. and stated that if they learned
hereafter that any of these Indians
signed they would drive them from
their tribes and disOwn them. Thus it
will be seen that the chiefs are deter
mined that. if il is in their power to
prevent it. the reservation will not be
opened for settlement. Hot blood among
the Indians Is being engendered, and
some lively tribal fights may be eX-
pected unless the matter is settled sOCn.
The Indians who are willing to sign are
growing independent and Will soon be
ready to put their names upon the
papers. and as sOOH rs they do the fol-
lovers Of Gall and Sitting Bull will
make it warm for them. But for the

DULUTH's WATER SUPPLY.

The West Superior Water Works
Company Secures Control Of It.
Special to the Globe.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 13.-COn-
siderable excitement and Indignation is
being manifested in Duluth over the
recent discovery that the Superior Wa
ter Works company have bought a con-
trolling interest in the Duluth Water
Works company, thus throwing the wa
ter supply of Duluth in the hands of the
former company. 1t was the intention
of the Superior company to run pipes
across the bay and connect their mains
with those of the Duluth company, but
the DuluthianS are attempting to stop
the work by getting out an injunction,
claiming that the present water supply
of Duluth is insufficient for that city
alone, and that the contemplated con-
nectiOn would be detrimental to them.
