evening Messrs. John and William Dalton,
who live near Upper Cross Roads, missed a sum
of money, amounting to s113, from drawer in
their house, and suspecting young man who
worked for them Of having taken the money,
they looked for him and discovered him making
off at $40 gait. Mr.. John Dalton started in
pursuit and after an exciting race overlook the
young man q mile or more from the house
Selling hold Of him Mr.. Dalton searched his
pockets and found 800 in them, which he took
and let him 60. The remainder of the money
was not recovered and Mr.. Dalton thinks he
had 1t concealed about his person. Both of
them were nearly exhausted by their long foot
race. 1t did not occur to Mr.. Dalton until he
got home that he ought to have held the thief
and turned him over to an officer.

THE PRIESTS AGAINST 1T.

As far as has been learned Arch.
bishop Ryan's position is sustained in
large degree by the Roman Catholic
clergy of the State. These are the
answers of the clergyman who were
asked if they were in favor of the
amendment;
REV. j. ]. BLAKE, o. S. A., Of Vii
lanova College: 81 am not"
REV. A. A. LANDING, Williamsburg:

REV. JOHN J. DoHERTY, Honeedale:

for while there is demand there will
be a supply, and no laws can prohibit
it,"
REV. MICHAEL MEAGHER, Ridgway:
81 am certainly Sainst the prohibition
amendment. l know no reason iu

REV. M. A. BUNcE, Mauch Chunk:

REV. .. A. KoPpERNAGEI, Harris,
burg: "The worst Probibitionist is
the Old Boy, who does not even allow
single drop of cold water to be

REV. ]. GEORGE PApE, York: "If a
majority of the people in State erect
ed by them is authorized by law to
control the private affairs of her otl-
zens in Que respect, il may do so in
other respects, and such is called by
human parlance tyranny or slavery"
Rev. p. BRADY, Osceola; THE
prohibition amendment or anything
tending TO eradicate the nefarious evil,
always had and always will have my
most hearty support.
REV. II. McEvoY, Meyersdale: "By

rain falls in this region, in which a bo
and arid climate prevails. The supply
| of fresh water comes from the Nils by
an aqueduct which has been in opera
tion for several years, previous to
| which all the water obtainable was
brought on the backs of camels from
the ancient and distant wells, a fact
that shows itself among the natives in
the meager uses to which it is put after
their long acquired habits of economy.
In its streets one is confronted with
squalor and beggary at every turn.
During my perambulations one day my
attention was drawn to a native school
house, which suggested the probability
that the young idea, even in Suez, was
not considered unworthy Of educational
advantages, however primitive. The
building was unpretentious and poorly
furnished. The small room was
crowded with children, all of whom
/ were standing on the floor apparently
studying out loud with all their might.
A venerable Arab presided over the
youngsters, but what his functions
were it would be hard 10 tell--surely
not to keep order.
In conversation with the old Arabian
pedagogue, who had slight smatter-
ing of English, was treated with an
interesting account of the passage e
of the children of Israel through the
Red Sea. The place Of crossing is
supposed to be near Suez, and is still
pointed out to the credulous sight seer.
The story as related by my new in
structor in Biblical lore, who might
possibly have been an eyewitness of
the scene if may judge from his ap-
pearance of antiquity, was that the
Hebrew leader and his people waded
through the water at the head of the
sea, where the sea was low and at times
partially submerged. In bis attempt to
overtake the fleeing multitude in es-
cape from bondage, the king and his
army, with horses and. chariots, were
mired in the ford, at time when a
strong wind, blowing from the south,
sent the huge waves rolling up the sea,
by which all were overwhelmed and
buried.
The features of the country and the
prevalence of winds at certain seasons,
which sometimes raise the tides thirty
feet, would seem to give an air of
plausibility to the Arabian story. The
presumed knowledge of the age regard
ing natural phenomena and the fact
that by passing few miles to- the
north Pharaoh could have intercepted
the lsraelites, make greater the proba-
bility that the crossing was farther
down the gulf.
After all with its dull and un-
interesting phases, Suez is an objective
point, historically and geographically.
Sixty miles west is Caro-, now with
railroad communication To the south
on the Akabah peninsula is Mount
Sinai, seen from the steamers deck,
rising barren and desolate above the
surrounding hills. Here centered the
ancient lines of trade between Egypt
and Asia. To. day through its sandy
heart the commerce of the world goes
pulsating and throbbing, while the
richly burdened caravans give way to
steam and sail.

Preparing In the City and State to Meet
Prohibition.

All the men who are active in the
organized movements to meet the pro.
posed prohibition legislation are busy.
Matters are getting in such shape that
the first anti-prohibltion gun which is
fully loaded and primed will soon be
fired and awaken echoes throughout
the state. The organic alton is now
thorough and touches nearly every
point in the state, though the head
quarters will be located at Philadelphia,
and every move made will be directed
from here.
CAPABLE LEADER.
The man at the ht ad is a veteran
political leader and lawyer SIX illed in
every form of organization and with a
complete mastery Of all the effective
methods necessary to deal with such an
emergency. Financially the organiza-
lion, which ncludes nearly every
brewery. dlstilling and wholesale LIQUOR
lrm in the city and state, is strong.
Over 100000 has been secured or
pledged in the city and it is confident.
ly asserted that the round sum of 81 900.
600 will be forthcoming in the state to
defeat this measure, which every man in
the organization feels is meant TO de-
prlve him of what he considers legiti-
mate business. 1t is also expected
that some help will be forthcoming
from outside the state.
A number of bureaus have been or
ganized and will soon be in operation.
Already very large number of able
speakers, men and WON n, some OF
them from outside the state, have been
engaged and the way they will be used
and the plan to be pursued is now be-
ing discussed.
Great dependence will be placed up-
on the bureaus and a great deal of
printed matter will be circulated,

In preference to pamphleteering.
AT one of the literary bureaus there
was a great collection of clippings
from newspapers from all over the
state, grouped so as TO show the drift

Tor and against prohibition. Iu a few
days the whole machinery will be ia
operation, when it will be found tha,

to be ali one way and that there il

Three Kinds of LIARS.
THEIR CLASSIFICATION AND SPECIMEN
STORY BY ONE OF THEM.

There seems to lie reason for classi-
fication of liars. The ornamental liar
is not an unmitigated evil. He is
medicine to the melancholic and moon
struck. If taken with moderation be
is an inspiration to the imagination; he
causes the eye to roll in fine frenzy,
and, withal, he is good for the diges-
ton.
There is no record of fit place, ter
restrial or celestial, for the coward liar
man who lies because he is afraid to
tell the truth, or because--and this is
more often the case--he would rather
please than be right. His right home
must be in that region where the sup
ply OF natural gas is unlimited and
where it is not consumed by meter
measurement,
Then there is the honest liar. He
Is the outgrowth of one of the other
species. He tells fairy stories until
they become to him as truth. One of
this kind was encountered by an In-

Prohibition.
Two LETTERS WRITTEN BY ARCHBISHOP
RYAN ON THE SUBJECT.
HIGH LICENSE QUITE SUFFICIENT.

The Philadelphia Times says:
Archbishop Ryan, in response to
the request Of the editor Of the Catho
Tic Total abstinence Ne'os, for his
views upon the subject of the prohibi-
tion amendment, has sent the follow
ing letter:
DEAR SIR: In reply to your ques-
ton beg to state that believe con-
stitutionsl amendments to be extreme
measures which should be adopted
only in case of supreme necessity. l
believe, as far as l am capable of
forming a judgement on the subject,
that high license and other laws enact
ed to preserve the people from intem.
perance, if duly enforced, would be
quite sufficient 10 att in the desired
end-that is, as far as mere legislation
can attain it. More stringent laws
could be enacted if found necessary,
without touching the Constitution
itself. Yours sincerely in Christ.
p. j. RYAN, Archbishop.
MIR. GRIFFrN's REQUEST.
Previous to this Martin |. j. Griffin.
a Catholic who favors prohibition and
who ia an officer of the Twentieth
Ward Prohibition Club, communiost-
ed with Archbishop Ryan on the sub
ject. Mr.. Griffin, who is editor of the
T. O. b. y. Journal, in the last edi
ton of his paper, claimed that the
Archbishop's name and influence were
being br ught into the present contest
in an unfair way. He said that at the
National Temperance Convention in
ST. Louis in 1884 Archbishop Ryan
had addressed a letter to Phillip A.
Nolan, the general secretary, in which
he said:
"If the Union would follow the
teachings of Catholic ethics and disa-
vow the fanaticism of prohibition it
would be productive of much healthy
good" which letter, Mr.. Griffin claim
ed, had been wrongly interpreted and
held up to Catholics in this campaign
as warning them against prohibition as
a fauaticism. Mr.. Griffin claimed that
it was used in the same sense that the
Archbishop uses the words "bgotry'
and "prejudice" when he calls upon
Catholics to "disavow the bigotry and
prejudice of religion and his COM
munication was to settle that point.
ETHICS OF PROHIBITION.
The Archbishop's answer was:
DEAR SIR: In reply to your inqui-
ry beg to say that l have not said
anything in regard to the coming vote
on the prohibition amendment. With
the politics of the question / have
nothing TO do. In regard to the ct
hics of the question am constrained
to state that many false principles and
not little fanatlcism have character
lied the movement 10 the past l am
in favor of total abstinence for all per-
sons who desire or need it. l favor
high license and every means consis-
tent with true principles and due res
pect for individual liberty to promote
the practice of temperance.
Yours sincerely, IN Christ,

against the reactiOnary ideas of the
King of Norway and Sweden which
resulted in the autonomy of Norway

when there is no longer nobility,
and where democratic principles pre-
vail as thoroughly as in ours"
Scribner's Magazine for April is nota-
BILE for the variety of its contents,
which include popular articles on rail-
road affairs, shipbuilding, mountain
climbing, and the anatomy of contor-

The illustrations show equal rich

A paper which is sure to cause wide
discussion is The Prevention of Rail
