AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

Ed Murphy Makes His Second Speech for
Prohibition.
At the Constitutional amendment meet
ing in the Opera House last night John W.
Moreland and Ed Murphy made speeches.
The latter said he was Prohibitionist be-
cause the source of power is in the people,
and all radical changes must come through
them. Those who oppose liquor will vote
against it. He claimed also that in the pro-
portion of money invested the liquor busi-
ness does not support its share of workmen.

LACK 0E LIFE.

When the pulse beats feebly: when the ener-
gy is gone; when the appetite is weak and
sleep uncertain, then the body Is in condition
Of actual 'low life." No matter what the causes
may have been Nature has given way. and un-
less her strength is restored, disease Is certain
to take possession of the body. The first thing
any doctor does in such'a case Is to assist Ma
ture. Here are some instances:
Prof Austin Flint, Of Bellevue New York;
College, says: The judicious use Of alcoholic
stimulants is one Of the striking character
istics of progress in the practice Of medicine
during the last half century,
The celebrated DR.. ]. NJ. Carnwan says: 4
am most happy to say, after a very thorough
test, that for persons suffering with nervous
and general debility or any wasting disease, or
for delicate persons or invalids, Dufy's Pure
ulant with which am acquainted"
There are no higher scientific authorities
than these and they speak volumes. Beware
of all bottled WHISTLES which may be offered
you, except Duffy's. It has stood the test Of
time and Is absolutely pure.

any overtures for peace at present, though
he said he desired to have the war brought
to close, and would like to see the same
condition of affairs in Samoa as that
in the latter part of 1887. It was
at that time that the Tamasese Govern
ment was in full power, Malietoa having
been deposed by the Germans a short time
before. Tamasese also offered in his letter
to the Admiral to forgive Mataafa and all
his men if they would throw down their
arms. He also stated that he would not
consider any proposition for peace until
after the conclusion OF the Berlin confer
ence, which he expected would settle the
difficulty. Tamasese's letter, together with
other correspondence on the same subject,
has been forwarded to the State Department
at Washington.
Admiral Kimberly says that Mataafa and
Tamasese had agreed upon temporary
truce, and had promised they would do
nothing to alter the present peaceful state Of
affairs until after the Berlin conference had
adjourned.
A PROHIBITION DISTRICT.
The order issued by Consul Blackjack,
shortly after the storm, prohibiting the sale
of liquor to the American sailors is still in
force, and the town is still under the pro-
lection of the marine guard and native po-
lice. Notwithstanding the precaution
taken, however, sailors have had little
trouble in obtaining liquor, and on
number Of occasions drunken men,
principally members of the Trenton's
crew, have been very disorderly. They have
entered the natives houses at night and
threatened the occupants with bodily harm,
and on one or two occasions have attacked
the native women. Mataafa has assisted
the Americans in preserving order by issu-
ing proclamations requiring all Samoans to
keep off streets after dark. A wooden drum
beats at 6 o'clock, which is signal for all
natives to go to their houses.
Not more than one-third of the bodies of
the victims Of the storm have been discov-
cred, and it is supposed that greater num-
Der of them were either washed far out at
sea or are fastened in the coral reefs and
sunken in the wreckage.

Methods of the Bar Fly"
From the Kansas CITY Journal

From the Kansas City Journal.
"Bar flies" is a term that has recently
come into use among the frequenters of
the dramshops of Kansas City. 1t is a
fair presumption that but few or the
many thousand readers OF the Journal
know it's meaning. The term is used to
designate a class of individuals who
someone whom they can ring in" on
lite beverages.
There are several varieties of "bar
flies" Although they are chronic loaf
ers, they are not always in needy cir
cumstances. On the contrary, some of
them are well dressed, and possessed of
ample means to buy the "booze'' they
drink. Occasionally "bar fy'' will be
met with in gilded drinking establish
ment, upon whose polished shirt front
sparkles genuine or imitation dia-
mond. In his vest pocket he carries an
elegant gold watch, and costly rings be-
deck his soft white hands. He is worth,
dividuals whom he is constantly work
ing" for the spirituous, vinous, and malt
beverages and cigars he consumes.
His capacity for intoxicants is some
thing marvellous to behold. He would
die Of heart disease if he were occa-
sionally compelled to pay for drink of
Intoxicating liquor for himself, or to
''set 'em up" to others. AS the better
class Of ''bar flies" are usually intelli-
gent, and good takers, and are enter
tanning story tellers, they are regarded
by certain class of saloon keepers as
valuable acquisitions to the fixtures of
their places. They may be said to be
upon the ''staffs" of the men whose
places they frequent. Their presence
in saloon often results in the sale of a
greater number of drinks and cigars
during the day and night than would be
disposed of without their aid.
Good 'bar fies," like poets, are born,
not made. A man, to follow the occu-
patton successfully, must be possessed
of unlimited GAL, and must establish
the reputation of being jolly fellow.
When he begins to close his grip" he
descends in the social 'bar fly" scale,
and must from that time forth make
lower grade saloons his place of rendez-
Vous.
Some saloon keepers are their own
char flies" Instead of going around
the bar IN their shirt sleeves and with
apron on, they attire themselves in
their finest raiment and most costly
jewels, and pose in front Of the bal. It
is their business to form the acquaint-
ance of every customer who looks as if
he was sufficiently well fixed financially
to pay 'spot cash" for few rounds of
drinks. The means resorted to by the
gentlemanly appearing class of ''bar
flies," whether saloon keepers or pro-
fessionals, are various.

The Oldest Bank Notes.
From the London Standard.

The oldest bank notes are the Flying
money!" or convenient money!" first
issued in China, o697 B. G.. Originally
these notes were issued by the treasury,
but experience dictated a change to the
banks under government inspection
and control. A writer in provincial
paper says that the early Chinese
'greenbacks'' were in all essentials SINH
lar to the modern bank notes, bearing the
name of the bank, date of issue, the
number of the note, the signature of
the official issuing it, indications OF its
value in figures, in works, and in the
pictorial representation in coins or
heaps of coins equal in amount to it's
face value, and notice of the pains and
penalties of counterfeiting. Over and
above all was laconic exEortation of
industry and thrift" Produce all you
can; spend with economy" The notes
were printed in blue ink on paper made
from the fibre OF the mulberry tree.
One issued in 1899 B. c. is still carefully
preserved in the Asiatic Museum, az st.
Petersburg.
