"The most powerful and inf1uen-
tial one temperance paper) was The
Voice of New York. 1t is corker
and gave US more trouble than all
the rest put together. I tell you that
Voice is a holy terror and hell rat
tier. l take it and get more infor-
nation from it on this question than
from all other sources put together,
for what that paper does not get hold
of is not worth knowing. If it could
have covered the whole State it won d
have beaten us.';-HARRY P. Grow.
ELL, manager of the liquor dealers
campaign in Pennsylvania, last
spring, against the Prohibition
amendment, IN an interview with
Col. r S. Cheves
This liquor manager told the exact
truth. The Voice contains more in
formation on the whole liquor ques-
ton than all other paper combined,
and no one can be thoroughly in
formed of the present status of this
momcntous question who has not its
pages to refer to. AS MIR. Crowell
says: what that paper don't get
isn't worth knowing" and so long as
the saloon party can coax temper
ance men to join it in denouncing
and bindly refusing to read the only
well informed temperance paper in
the country, on the deep laid deviltry
of the saloon, so long will the rum
party be able to deceive and laugh
at them in its sleeve. Within the
LAST few years the aspect of the liquor
question has entirely changed. The
business used to be despised by the
daily papers and the wealthy class
But millionaire have grown VI
among distillers and brewers, and
they now hobnob with other million
airs, and belong to what is termed
"our SET" and making common cause
with other monopoi:es which com
prise the "money Glass; have &C
quirsd great influence in political
and government circles. The old
time temperance people WHO insist in
sticking to their Comly's spell ing
book and primer of primitive tenn
perance literature, are almost wholly
oblivious of what is going on and
the desperate fight tue saloon is
making on this new line This class
of innocent, we'll meaning temper
ance people fall easy victims to the
crafty, deep laid schemes of the
liquor power, and often assist the
sa'oon when they Imagine they are
doing battle against it.
There is one self evident fact and
it is this; the saloon and the TEN
perance policy cannot both control
the old parties. Now, which in
huencc does command these parties?
Let their Influential leaders answer.
Every one of them is in favor OF
licensing the saloon. That answers
the question. AS long as temperance
men vote for candidates whose party
is in favor of license they vote with
the saloon and Cor licensing it, and
are actively employed in sustaining
the whiskey traffic.

Playhouse In New York Where They
Speak No Definite Language.
Among the heterogeneous %popula-
ton of New York city there is none
80 distinct and individual as its Slav
element. 1t is composed mainly of
Hebrews, who have their own butch
ers. their grocers. and, last and great
est, their own theatres. Ii seems won
derful that while the Germans of this
city are barely able to sustain one the
atre, and while the French, Spanish
and Italian residents have none at all,
the Russian and Polish Jews should
have four playhouses of their own.
Three Of these are situated in the
Bowery; the fourth is at the house
formerly known as Poole's theatre on
Eighth street, near Fourth avenue. In
these three theatres the plays are given
in Hebrew, or at least in a jargon of
Hebrew, German and Russian, which
purports to be Hebrew. The dramas
bear such titles as The Fall of Jeru-
salem,' 1.-THE Flood of Johnstown,"
king Solomon" king David, "
Lord Montefiore" and others, the bill
boards bearing these names being print
ed in Hebrew and English.
The classes which frequent and sup
port these theatres are the poorest, be
ing composed of the Jews 10 be found
in the so called New Jerusalem, " in
the district between Division street and
Canal. Their dwellings are the most
abject tenements, where a family of
six which has n whole room to itself is
considered in afflucnce. They earn
their living if such it can be called
by stitching shirts and coats for
4G-t-.nt.u.H ,,n,, prl,A t,l a...t.n,tr
for clothing and who employ these
Jews to do the work for such prices as
six cents for a shirt and twenty seven
cents for a coat neatly stitched and
finished. Yet, Notwithstanding their
restitution, these people always man
age to lay aside "a little money for
their amusement.
Admission 10 their theatres costs
from ten to fifty cents, and most of the
houses do a thriving business. The
M in the Bowery below Canal street,
and which is in the building formerly
occupied by the ITALIA theatre, is espe-
cially prosperous. The actors in most
of these theatres are of a very poor
order, but educated Hebrews have
stated that the troupe which until re
Gently was Mt Poole's theatre, under
the auspices of what was known as the
Harp of David society, was an uncom-
monty good one.
The audiences are partial to relig-
ious plays, and their fervor knows no.
bounds when the glory of Solomon is
portrayed. AS a rule, they are quiet
and peaceful people, who, although
they are addicted to the wearing of
loud combinations of colors and to the
eating of peanuts and cakes and the
drinking Of soda water during the per
formances at their theatres, commit no
graver oifense against the laws and
customs Of the country New York

Billy, who is about SO, excessively bald

is governor Of the province of Han

and with a wonderful faculty of repair

studied law and passed the examination
creditably, lie went into the service Of
the government, where his ability, to-
gether with the influence of the p%aternal
name, has pushed him forward to a point
that is usually reached only after about
thirty years Of civil service. Still, his
administration in Hanover has given
satisfaction, where his energy and I'M

The courts at Tihis, Russia, have be-
fore them the suit of a man to recover
from a professional assassin the sum of
$l65. The man hired the assassin for
SIS down to kill an enemy, and promised
$50 more when he should receive proof
of the death in the shape of the enemy's
ear. The assassin brought around an
ear and received the $75, with SIS added
for a tip. A few days later the man met
his enemy, alive and entirely whole as
to his ears, upon the street. An investi-
cation showed that the assassin had also
received 500 from the enemy as a re-
ward for having betrayed the plot to
him.-Philadelphia ledger.

Pilot Magill, of the steamboat Annie
Roberts, had a lively experience with the
tail end of the Louisville cyclone. The
boat left Louisville on Sunday, and on
Friday night was just ut Whitten's Tow
head, a small island five miles below
Wheeling. The river was so high that
at Cincinnati they had to take off their
smokestacks and whistle to get under
the bridges.
Notwithstanding the high water, the
boat was running smoothly. Pilot Ma
gill was below when the storm struck
the boat. The craft was sent up the
stream at a tremendous rate. He was
at once called to the wheel. The wind
was so strong that it was almost impos-
sible to keep the boat from being swamp
ed, and it was only the fact that the tor
nado was coming up the stream that
saved them. In the darkness they got
clear out of the river channel and went
shooting between houses and barns. The
wind caught the spray from the wheel
and 1t was thrown on the deck until it
sounded like water being thrown by the
bucketful on n window. It even scooped
the water out of the river and threw it in
a sheet over the boat
After considerable difficulty the boat
was gotten back to the channel, and be-
yond a heavy soaking was not much
damaged .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

III OPPORTUNITY.

The proposed organization OF a real es
tate exchange is a movement in the night
direction. The very essence OF the real
estate business is advertising. The more
intellisentlY this advertising is directed
the greater the results will be. As not
merely advertising, but intelligent adver-
Using is necessary a movement in the di-
rection of an organization which will di
rect the scheme. concentrating or expand
ing il when necessary, passing upon the
merits of the various propositions which
NAV be presented, with some judgment
of the relative values of the multitude of
methods, cannot fail to be of advantage
TO the real estate men most intimately
concerned as well as to the town IN gen
eral.
But IN addition to advertising there is
one other absolutely essential element
and that is development THE LEADER
long ago pointed out the fact that IN
developed resourc. IS we're of comparatively
little advantage to a community. They
amount to something simply as they
are developed. 1t has been known
for years that the surroundings
Of Cheyenne are particularly rich in all
the useful metals. THIS fact has been
talked of and advertised until it is pretty
generally known and appreciated, but so
long as these metals continue to lie in
the bosom of the earth they cannot and
will not contribute a dollar to the wealth
Of Cheyenne or a title to its advancement.
An exceedingly strong point was made
by one Of the speakers last evening when
be said that a brilliant future Tor Chey-
enne must depend largely upon what was
done in the line Of development. The
year 1890 is an important and suspicious
year for the town. Its future lies mainly
in the hands Of the men who are now
here. 1t will not do to rely altogether
on our present possessions or what have
been promised us. The people of the
town must be n unit in aiding its adj
vancement Anything suggested in that
direction should be duly considered and
theoretically acted upon. Instead Of
standing idly by and waiting for
something to turn up, something
should be made to continually turn
up. Whenever there is a possible
chance of securing any benefr To the
town either through a new railroad
company or the location of a new enter

Capt. William A. Piukertou, the noted
detective, having seen that two burglars
Of his professional acquaintance were al
vertised to blow open a safe on the stage
in five minutes, went TO the theatre one
night in Chicago recently aupl told them
that they could not de- it in five. They
declared they could. Thercupon he put
500 in the safe: they did the same, and
he locked it with his own combination.
If you get the safe open in five min
utrs," he said. "the money is yours. II
you don't, it's mine" He then stationed
uimsclf at the wings, watch in hand, and
waited for the burglary scene. The cue

and set vigorously to work.
la two minutes the diamond drill had
bored through the steel door. Then a
powder blower was inserted, the bellows
set to going. the crcviccs around the door
puttied, and the crank drill was cutting
the hinges. The fuse was inserted; a wet
blanket hung over the door, and the
match struck. As Pinkerton's watch
shOwed the passage OF three minutes and
fnrty-eight seconds there wa a flash from
the safe, n cloudlet of smoke. a heavy jar
and the massive door fell on the stage.
The detective remarked: I've been chus-
ing safe blowers around the country for
thirty years and | thought | knew some
thing about the business. But this is the
first time | ever heard of a safe being
blown open inside of -four minutes. The
lesson is easily worth S5O0."-Exchange.

was standing ready in the workshop,
packed to be cent to Brienza, when
some boys in the shop kindled some
wood to make a fire to warm them

out extinguishing the fire, and the
flames spread to the sawdust laid for
the statue to slide on when removed,
and in a short time the figure, all but
the head, was burned and reduced to
