FINDS 1T UNSCRIPTUAL.
A Pennsylvania Preachers Reason for
Opposing Prohibition.

The Daily Spirit. of Chambersburg,
Pa, publishes letter from the Rev.
Cyrus Cort, pastor of the Reformed
Church of Greencastle, and one of the
ablest ministers in the southern portion
of the state, in which he clearly de-
fines his position on the prohibition
amendment question. He writes: "As
long as | hold my present orthodox
views respecting the inspiration and in
tegrity OF Gods work, l must regard
prohibition as unscriptural and wrong
in principle. / could not consistently
endorse prohibition without nullify-
ing many parts and passages of
the sacred scriptures, and at the
came time running counter to what I
consider the genius and aim of free and
constitutional government. As prac-
teal measure of temperance reform
prohibition has been largely failure,
and tends to create community of
spies, informers and hypocrites-
most abominable stale of society that
that We CO u conceive"

The Thetis to Proceed to the Sealing and
Whaling Ground.


WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 22.-Sail-
ing orders have been sent to the United
States steamer Thetis, at the Mare
Island Navy Yard, to proceed to Sitka,
touching en- route at such places as her
commanding officer may deem neces-
sary. When she arrives at Sitka and
communicates with the civil authorities,
she will, if the station is quiet
and her presence there is not required,
continue on northward and devote at
tentiOn particularly to the whaling fleet,
and to other commercial interests of the
United States in the waters about Behr-
ing's Straits and the Arctic Ocean.
AS the whaling vessels usually leave
the Arctics in the latter part
of September, the presence of
the Thetis until then will add securi-
ty to those engaged in that important
industry, and the Thetis will remain I'M
til they have taken their departure
southwark, taking care lot to be caught
In the ice. She will return to Sitka and
await further instructions.

Gladstone's Eldest Son Suffers PARTIAL
Paralysis.

LONDON, March 23.-The eldest son OF
the premier, w. H. Gladstone, who was
taken seriously i'll a few weeks ago, will,
in all probability, lose entirely the use
of his right arm. Paralysis in it's most
severe form has taken possession of the
member, and, although the most emf
nent medical advice has been obtained,
no hope is held out that a recovery,
even partial, can be expected. The de-
plorable matter has proven severe
blow to the veteran statesman, who has
always been completely wrapped up in
his eldest, and now unfortunate son.

A Narrow Escape.

The police of Gloucester, Mass, are
investigating a case of poisoning, the
cause of which was fortunately discov-
cred in season to prevent fatal results
For some time the family of Senator
BENJAMIN f. Cook, who are adults,
with The exception of a 14-year- old
daughter, Eva, have been complaining
and in bad health. Mr.. Cooks resi-
dence is at the Farms, suburb of
Gloucester. Members of the family
were taken with vomiting fits and were
in poor health. The one most af-
fected was the daughter, whose
health has been rapidly failing.
Finally son named BENJAMIN
became violently i'll. The water supply
from well was suspected to be the
cause of the trouble. The we'll was ex-
alnined and large amount of Paris
green was found in it, while the sides of
the we'll were covered with the poison.
There is no clue as to how it came in the
well. Mr.. Cook is now serving mis- third
term as Massachusetts senator, and
no violent antagonism is known to exist
against him.
