HARRISON AND CLEVELAND.
Their Ideas OF the Ardent" conerasted.

New YORK. July Z.
A newspaper correspondent writes the fol
lowing:
II is true that Gen. Harrison is a teetotal
ler; he neither drinks liquor himself nor
offers it To Others and does not permit it TO
be used on his table nor kept in his house
1t is also true that in case he should be elect
ed, the administration would be as devoted
to POLLY water as was that OF President
Hayes, but the fastidious Germans will be in
q desperate quandsry at the time of the elec-
ton if they shall become convinced of what
| am assured is now true, that President
Cleveland no longer asks visitors to take
something.
When he first came to the White House
he always kept bottle where it could be
reached in case il was needed. and his friends
kept him plentifully supplied with the best
brands in the market. When they called
they expected aud received hospitable treat
ment in this respect. which gave rise to the
infamous stories about drunken orgies at the
White House. But there is no longer any
excuse for such ISLANDERS. A gentleman,
who is as intimate at the White House, and
is as frequent visitor at the Presidents
country place as any member of the cabinet,
and who is in the habit of dropping in at all
times of the day and uight
tells me that the bottle has been banished.
Said he:
II like drink of whiskey as much as any
man. and am III the habit OF taking one " hen-
ever teel like 1t, although never drink at
public bar. A year ago, when | went over
To the White House | was always asked 10
take drink, and the President usually Joined

ease of the best rye shisAey could buy, and
helped 10 consume 1t. The other day | drove
out to OAK View, and being thirsty after Il
dusty ride | wanted some the worst way.
After waiting awhile and not receivitg an
invitation TO the sldebuard. co cluied TO
drop hint and asked the prcs.ieal II his
whisky was ali gone. He apologized tor his
thoughtlessness aud remarked thai MS he WAS
not drinking any thing now h.mseli lie did
not think TO ask hls friends He rang a
bell aud when the servant appeared ordered
IA drink for me, but oilly one glass was
brought. | telta hfrie ashamed OF m, self,
but joked the President about his absll-
nence. He said that has vile Was a
temperance wonlaD,- aud while he did not see
ANY harm in moderate drinking himself, he
nai decided that it was the proper thing to
respect her wishes, and had quit.
Mrs. Cleveland was not III the house at the
time, AMI there was no particular reason why
he should not have joiued NE, but he sand
he found that he Ielt just rs well with

CHICAGO, July 8.
| At yesterdays meeting of the Chfslia
| Endeayor convention, the feature OF the
morning was the five-mnute ldresses on
committee work. As the society is essen
tally the outgrowth of the missionary spirit,
the address pf Edward ). Niles of Boston o,
The Missionary Committee" received the
most marked attention.
What was the use of discussing foreign
missions, he said, when there were ten thou.
| sand foreign infdel and idol worshppers be-
ing landed on our shores every month. Their
was ample room for foreign missionary labo:
right IN the United States. Boston, with
go 900 people, had no more than $4,000
members of Protestant churches; New York
with 1000 900 people, had less than $4,000
Protestants, and Chicago, with S00,0J0 peo-
pie, had fewer than l0o,0 900 i'r te ia IS.
There were 2,S6O, 900 people ii these three
cities who do not attend our churches. Why
then should they 60 to India, or China, or
Germany, or Italy TO preach the gospel? Ii
the Bible is true. those who do not believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ have nothing before
them but eternal punishment. Those 1850,
900 people were on the road to eternal de-
struction. The speaker here INDUCED in
some calculations. arriving at the conclusion
to perdition every year one-twelfth that num-
Der every month, etc. He thought these
startling facts ought to induce all Christians
to put forth their greatest Christian endeavors
to save the people.
Miss Mary Houghtlang of st. Paul report

mittee; Miss. Hattie Breen of Decatur, Ill
