GERMAN TEMPERANCE REFORM.
The Bill Which the Emperor Wants to Be
Made q Law.

dispatch from Berlin states that the Frei-
si'antge Zeitung has decided to oppose the main
Clauses of the governments bill for the repres-
sion of drunkenness. The ultimate fate of the
measure may be predicted. as it is modelled
after bill of similar import which was intro
duced in the reichstag in 1881 and which was
dropped in committee. The leading minis
terialists are the only supporters of the present
ILL and their support is due simply to the fact
that the emperor, who is the father Of the BILL
is in earnest in his efforts to suppress the grow
ing evils Of intemperance. Yet the proposals
contained in this bill cannot strike foreigners
who arc accustomed to liquor legislation as be-
ing severe. The measure provides that retail
liquor dealers must supply food, besides spirits,
and are forbidden to sell liquor to persons un.
der sixteen years Of age. They must not serve
visibly drunken person or one who is known
to be a confirmed drunkard.
They must see that drunken persons are
guarded to their homes or protected by the
police and they must not supply liquor on
credit. The most drastic clauses of the bill
provide for the forcible committal of confirmed
lnebriates 10 an asylum, for tine keeping OF pub
lie houses closed until o'clock in the morning
and fixing the minimum quantity of spirits to
he sold at half htre.
1T is not expected that the government will
persist in passing the bill in its entirety IL
the government can get measure OF a kindred
nature to those accepted by the countries where
there are temperance reforms il is known that
the emperor will be Satisfied.

Sight Restored at Ninety-fiye.


The Welsh newspapers report a remarkable
event at the village o: Llanon, Cardiganshire,
where the Rev. William Herbert late rector of
the parish, entertained 500 OF his Pensioners
at tea in commemoration of the restoration of
his eyesight in his ninety-fifth year. The
reverend gentleman, who is the oldest clergy
man in the princlpality, had held the living
of Llanon for half century. Six years ago,
however. he lost his sight and resigned the
rectorship in consequence. During the
last few months he has been under the treat
ment of an eminent Manchester oculist. and
the cataracts being removed from his eyes his
sight has been completely restored and he
is now enabled to read the service in church.

PANIC IN A CHURCH.

The African Methodist Conference Disturbed
by an Alarm of Fire.
The delegates attending the annual confer
ence Of the African Methodists in Bethel
Church in Chicago were thrown into o panic
during the solemn services held in memorial
of the dead members of the conference yester-
day afternoon by the breaking out Of fire in the
church. While DR.: Handy was speaking q
crash was heard and moment later trail Of
smoke began to curl its way through the
church. There was q wild run for the open
air. Several OF the preachers shouted that
there was no danger, but they were not needed,
and the delegates and visitors made their way
to the street without any one being injured
The alarm was caused by the igniting of pan
OF grease which had been placed on an oil
stove where a meal was being prepared for the
minister's. This frightened the women in the
kitchen, who in rushing out upset a table of
dishes, causing crash and Stampede in the
church. An alarm Of fire was turned in, but
the blaze was put out before the engines ar
rived. When quiet was restored the memorial
exercises were continued without further in
terruption.
