The Potent Drink That Western Distiliers
Furnish for Eastern Consumption.
Philadelphia Record
Every night in the year, with the possible
Of twenty cars, loaded with whisky, starts
from the center of the whisky factories,
Peoria, ILL.,, bound East. This railroad pro-
cession is reinforced from three points viz,
Englewood, Ill, Cincinnati and Tifin. o.
Then this Odorous body moves eastward
with steady swing, prepared to make the
steps Of mankind unsteady for days and
even weeks to come. This train is guarded
carefully, and seldom does a mishap occur
to it. Six of the cars stop here, and twelve
second-street station, in West Philadelphia.
To the festive tramp the train is like red
rag to bull. He can sniff the air from
afar, and enjoy that luxury, but the imper-
alive order is ''hands Off"
1t has been estimated that about 3750 900
barrels of whisky come from the West by
trains during year, and are landed at the
freight stations of this city. OF this num-
Der slightly over %, 600 barrels rest for a
few hours at the Fifty -second-street trans
fer freight station and then pass quietly
on, unmolested and unknown by the local
topers, to their destinations. This informa.
ton to the whisky drinkers is as tantaliz-
ing and exasperating as ever unreachabie
logical Tantalus.
The freight authorities state, however.
that whisky is not the only article of
spirits that comes in great quantities to this
city. They declare that more cars con-
tanning high wines are received here and
are transferred to other points than
whisky. This city receives from the West
from five TO six cars of whisky per day,
while on the average eight cars of what
are known as high wines come in within
the same time. Opposed to the twelve cars
of whisky which are transferred TO New
York daily at the Fifty-second-street trans
fer station, are from fifteen to eighteen cars
of the spirits. A whisky car holds about
sixty barrels. each barrel weighing APP
proximately 400 pounds. Spirits, as class.
and including whisky, are handled rapidly,
being known as special merchandise, which
is ALWAYS transferred with expedition.

an odd thing that if you paste a printed

charge the receiver letter POSTAGE; if the

nothing. extra is demanded. The same slip,

Said an Indiana Republican yesterday:
you may be sure that there will be no
temperance foolishness in the White House
under Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison, and no re-
vOlutiOns attempted. They are both
practical temperance people and by their
example and teaching have done much
good in that way, but they Will not attempt
to regulate the social customs of the people
through pure force of their official and
social positions"
General Harrison is probably much such
temperance man as Senator Sherman is.
The latter can drink a glass of beer and
enjoy it; well, in fact he is fond of a cool
glass of lager. Yet he rarely drinks III. or
anything else of an intoxicating nature.
He always has upon his table at dinner.

smoking as in his drinking. He smokes "a

to the door for air. General Malone went
on smoking one after another of the big
cigars, ending by chewing the stumps of

bundle of nerves.
Sherman had still worse experience, as
he tearfully relates, at the palace of the
Captain General of Cuba, in Havana.
After the banquet, cigar was served,
which was six inches long, black as your

Of course, Mr.. Sherman had, in courtesy To

rest of the day.
While President Cleveland has been
liberal in the matter of wines, it is well
known that wines are not to his taste. He
is no connoisseur of wines and would hard
ly be able to tell Rudesheimer from Gordon
Rouge.
He likes beer as a regular beverage and
in the old days drank little else. When il

Sizing Up the Post.
New York Independent.

IL is most unfortunate for those who
chance to fall under the displeasure of the
Evening Post that it still has reputation
for honesty and fairness. This reputation
was fairly won in former years; but it has
not been fully maintained in later years
The Posts editorial page has vigor and
literary character unsurpassed in American
journalism; but IL Is so persistently
abusive, so rancorous, SO wickedly unjust
where its prejudices are stirred, that fair
minded men cannot read il without feel
ing of indignation and disgust.

Alessandro Gavazzi. a Noted and Widely
Known italian Priest.
ROME, Jan. 10.-Alessandro Gavazzi, the
famous orator. revOlutionist and eyangel-
ist, is dead at the age OF eighty years.
Alessandro Gavazzi was born at Bologna,
In the early part of the present century.
His father was an eminent barrister and
judge. Gavazzi was educated at the Uni
versity of Bologna, and at twenty was a
professor at Naples. He became monk and
priest. He boldly denounced the corrupt
court of Gregory XVI, and for this had
been a year In virtual confinement at a con-
vent when that Pontiff died. Gavazzi was ap-
pointed to preach sermon of thanksgiving
for the Pope's escape from assassination,
and in it he denounced the abuses which
had grown up, and called for their redress
IN unmeasured terms. Gavazzi was for
hidden to further preach, and was subse-
vent of La Polviera, where 1900 Romans
called upon him within three days to
express. approval of his course. Upon
his release from imprisonment Ga
Austrians from Italy. The Pontiff gave
his blessing and make GavaZzi grand chap,
lain of the legion, 5000 strong, which had
been enlisted SO largely by his fiery patriot
Ism. Men empt1ed their purses on the plat
form in the PiazZo San Marco at Venice;
women cast their jewels, and even cut of
their hair and threw it upon their country s
altar. When the republic was suppressed
by the French arms, Gavazzi, through the
kindness of the American consul. was en-
abled to escape, and reached Eng
land in safety. In 1860 he was with
Garibaldi at Palermo. But while in exile a
change had come over the spirit of his
dream. He had read. the. Bible. Hence
forth, leaving political affairs to others, he
devoted himself TO the spiritual regenera-
ton of his people. In 1870 Gavazzi in
duced large and flOurishing congrega-
ton of Milan to invite delegates from the
other congregations to meet with them
in that city. A declaration of princi.
pies was adopted, embracing the doc
trines held in common by evangelical Chris.
tians, and from that day to this the General
Assembly of the Free Italian Church has
met annually. In 1872 Gavazzi came to
America to secure funds for the work OF
ngelizatiOn-especially for the estab.
lislfment of a theological seminary
and collected $4,000. Many will re-
member with what graphic utter.
ance he told the story of evangelical
ton; with what torrents of elOquence he
hurried his audience along through his his
torical lectures; with what tender pathos
he delivered his message. But only those
who have heard him under his native sky
and in his native tongue can adequately ap
preciate the power with which he moulded
the masses of his cOuntrymen.
