THE BLACK RIVER,
Its Three Dark Tributaries and the Citiea
That Join Their borders.


"The Cities of the Black River"
is the title Of vivid lecture recently
delivered in different parts of En-
gland. The river is alcohol with it's
three dark tributaries - wine, beer
and spirits. Last year" said the
lecturer, ''the English people actu-
ally swallowed 100000 gallons OF
wine. 9G5, 900, 900 gallons of beer and
36, OO0,O00 gallons of spirits, the
whole being sufficient to form lake

miles long. In spending G125, 00O,-
600 upon this the country has created
the city of reeling men,, with
100000 inhabitants and 10000
licensed houses to increase their
number; the city of the blood
stained hand, with its 700,-
900 criminal inhabitants; the city
of the iron doors with its
$4,000 human beings confined in
prisons; The city of the men in blue,
with its $1,000 policemen required
mainly through drink, and costing
more than G3,00O.000 every year; the
city OF the pale check, requiring 49,
600 doctors in the United Kingdom,
when 1000 would be sufficient but for
alcohol; the city OF the restless FOOT
with its rowing army of $4,000 vaga-
bonds, and not dozen teetotalers
amongst them; the city of the fireless
CRATE, and all the misery which
helped to raise the bitter Cry of out
cast London; and the sad city of the
midnight street. with its 100000
ruined young girls; the city of the
starving poor with its million of
paupers; and the city of the drink
