Dry Circus.

The City of Churches is making a
great pother about its lack of water
probably with intent to deceive. No
one who has ever visited Brooklyn
can entertain the least doubt that the
good people of that truly pious city
truly pious so far as architectural re-
ligion goes, at least-can drink beer
as frequently and with as great gusto
as their more wicked neighbors.
And no one who ever asked a
Brooklynite to drink whiskey ever dis
covered that he didn't like the more
ardent beverage sufficiently to refuse
the invitation. Despite its churches
and its alleged goodness Brooklyn mas
more saloons than it has churches.
Ginmills line the approaches to all the
ferries, and a visitor can hardly
stumble off the further end of the big
bridge without falling into a vestry
room of Bacchus.
Even in the matter of ablution the
lack of water isn't likely to trouble a
Brooklyn man half as much as it
would a Turk. Brooklyn was a great
unwashed city yesterday morning,
but its inhabitants turned out smil-
ingly. They seemed to like it, in fact,
because it saved trouble-and soap.
The true Brooklynite has great affec-
ton for soap-in the abstract-and he
likes to lay it up with his other
treasures-in heaven, aud other in
accessible places.
But when Brooklyn couldn't pro-
vide water yesterday to extinguish a
fire there was a genuine panic. Every
Brooklyn man at nee became pos
sessed of two fears. He was alarmed
lest his own house might burn down
though, even that didn't much
trouble the fellows who were insured.
But there was one dread that was
general-that was a widespread fear
that in the absence of water the fire.
men might attach their hose to the
breweries and use beer to put out the
fires, and every Brooklyn man felt
that 1t was better to suffer the fate Of
Chicago than invite disaster like that.
But the fire finally went out of itself.
and the impending danger to the beer
reservoirs has probably been averted
by last nights rain.
Beer is safe and the bibuious Brook
Ignite is happy once more.
SPEAKING of Brooklyn and its in
choate goodness, one of the ministers
of that city a few Sundays ago cast
several huge chunks of truth and
wisdom at the heads of his hearers in
connection with that subject. He
said that Brooklyn was n of the
worst cities in the United States, but
it wore a mask. When any of its
people felt like indulging in sin and
deviltry they skipped over to New
York for the purpose and SO saddled
their peccadiloes and crimes upon the
great metropolis. Thus they added
Hypocrisy to their actual sins, and
were really worse than their neigh
bors. If his hearers wanted to know
what Brooklyn vas in its ~nakedness,
he told them to go to Prospect Park
which he characterized as an ante
chamber of holland they would soon
find out. And he was about right.

Rachel differed from Bernhardt in
more respects than she resembled
her. Bernhardt, is a woman of fine
culture. Rachel's genius was simply
intuition and a voice. A description
of her by Mime. De Gasparia sums
her up thus:-s'That little girl has
received from heaven a great
gift, but she has neither heart nor
brains" 1t is stated as a fact that
when she studied with Samson, the
retired actor, he not only taught her
how to speak the lines of Racine and
Corneille, but actually taught her the
meaning of most of the speeches.
The sacred fire with her was a con-
Stunning one, and her vitality was
burnt out by her passionate energy
in acting. A friend wrote of her.
AFTER uttering the terrific impre-
cations in Lies Horaces" she would
remain for several minutes gasping
for breath, her eyes seemed to with
draw into their sockets, and her lips
became violet in hne. She frequently
fell fainting into the arms of her
mother when she came from the stage.

Mrs. Barney's Lectures,

The lectures of Mrs. J. K. Barney,
National Superintendent of prison and
almshouse work of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, were
quite up to expectations that had been
created by the very fattering press
notices that preceded her. Friday
night she spoke at the Methodist Protes-
tant church, the subject of her lecture
being ''From Jerusalem to Jerico."
Modest in manner, speaking in an
ordinary tone of voice, which is soft
and pathetic, she makes a favorable
impression upon those who hear her
no matter what opinions they may
entertain about women speaking in
public. Saturday she held a Bible
reading, and the passages of Scripture
read and her comments on same were
rich feast to those who constituted
her class. Sunday night Mrs. Barney
lectured at the Methodist Episcopal
church, her subject being "The Modern
Macedonian Cry" The church was
| full and for one hour and fifteen minutes
she commanded their closest attention.
She began by reading a number of
Scrip ture promises in a very tender
manner, and then she told the story of
Lydia, the first European convert, of
the consecrated zeal of the early apos-
ties, and of the old time call, "Come
over into Macedonia and help u.s.
Mrs. Barney then turned her atten-
ton to the Modern Macedonian Cry
which comes from the down-trodden
everywhere. S'No man cares for my
SOUL" Her picture of the Divine COM
passion, mot willing that any should
perish,' and of the human indifference
for dying souls as manifested all around
us, touched every heart and gave fresh
inspiration we hope to the Lords
witnesses to watch for souls everywhere
as those that must give an account.
Her personal "reminiscences and her
wonderful success in her Christ-like
work. charmed all who were fortunate
enough to hear her, and we doubt not
many silent prayer went up from the
hearts of men and women who listened
to her, for the blessing of God upon hel
and the great cause she is working ir
behalf of.
