supposed honor attached to it..
They have been graduated in the
profession, and then told by their
teachers that they cannot expect
to receive its courtesies unless
they join its societies. And
, there, when they attend the meet
ing of these societies, they are de-
bauched by wine suppers thrust
upon them by older members, and
sometimes by their teachers, who
know, and ought to do. better.
Frequently the aid of fair
woman is invoked in the accom-
plishment Of this diabolical work;
and while with their own hands
they extend the wine cup to new
beginners in the school Of vice,
Others of their victims more adj
vanced in the curriculum of said
school, are not infrequently to be
found reveling in the near by
gambling hell or brothel. And
then. as if to add insult to injury,
these same good women will go
next day, and offer charity to the
neglected wives, mothers, sisters
and children of those whom they,
or other women like them, have
helped to debauch with liquor and
start on the road to ruin.
Ifan excuse is asked for the Sc
verify of this arraignment, the re-
ply is that there is no class OF men
on earth who know better the ter,
rihle effects of liquor drinking
than the medical profession, and
no class of people on earth who
suffer half SO much from its indi-
rect effects us women and their
helpless offspring. Hence moth
ing but the most reck less disrc-
gard Of the common instincts of
humanity could lead these two
elements OF society To combine
for the purpose of encouraging
and perpetuating the habit.
1t is not necessary for AN iutel-
ligent and observing physician, or
cultivated lady, to stop to think
of heaven or Il he'll, or of future
rev ards and punishments, in or
der to shrink from such Il respon-
sibility. Ii the destruction, mis-
cry and Woe, of even their far Oft
kith and kin, brought about by
the habit is not sufficient to deter
them, it is not likely that even
the contemplation Of the joys OF
heaven or the horrors OF he'll,
would arouse their blunted scnsi-
bilitles.
Desperate cases need desperate
remedies; hence the pointednc.,
of this arraignment.

"The PIunger" at the Gaiety.

"The Plunger" at the Gaiety Opera
House this week is play full of action
and strong in dramatic climances. The
plot is worked on the familiar lines of
crime, fastened on an innocent party,
and the action Of the piece brings on the
timely intervention of the hero who in
various ways manages to circumvent
villiany at every point. Crime and pas
sion flourish throughout the performance,
but at the end all is cleared by the works
of the hero.
The Plunger gives abundant opportu-
nity for the peculiar talents of Oliver
Byron, who as the "Plunger," makes
life miserable for the Williams and
who manages TO turn up at exactly the
right time to circumvent the plots of
the consrEators. The play opens with
q series of forgeries, for which a
man wholly innocent is blamed.
He wins the love of the bankers
daughter, and after long list
of adventures succeeds in proving
his innocence. Arthur Mackley as
Risque Lincoln the cashier plays the vii
famous part 90 good advantage. Mrs.
Byron as the Widow Clover is at once
ingenious and interesting. Louis Bresn
a. Walter Glyndon the wronged lover,
carries sympathy with him throughout
the play. Miss Madeline Boultou as the
orphan heiress gave charming repre-
sentation of the character.
"The Plunger" will be repeated
throughout the week, with the usual
matinees.

Modern Church Architecture.

Prof A. ID. +. Hamlin delivered his
fourth and last lecture TO large audience
Ia Sayles Memorial Hall last night, His
theme was, Modern Church Architect
ure, especially in the United States"
There is nothing in American architect
ure TO thrill any one with the feeling OF
awe and veneration as the cathedrals and
churches of the middle ages. In former
times religion controlled the style OF
architecture, but now its power Is broken.
Science and commercial Influences have
taken its place.
In consequence OF small church edifices
there can be no crystalized types as those
OF former periods
ln word, architecture is reflection OF
civilization. We cannot revive the types
of the past and make them consistent with
the present demands. The prevailing idea
of the present day is to get as many as
possible within. sound and sight OF the
speaker, which has made useless the old
fashioned arrangement OF aisles.
There are two classes especially en-
ployed at the present-the ampatheatrical
and the rectangular, or the curved and the
straight aisles.
There are many types OF churches whose
exterlors present something of the charac-
ter OF the ancient church, but whose in
tteriors are simple, plain walls. This seem.
ing neglect is partly due to Ignorance and
partly TO the general trend of sentiment
and the absorbing influence of business.

VERY GOOD COMIC OPERA.

The Singing of "ship Ahoy" at the Prov
idence Opera House.
Col. Mapleson Mulberry, NJ. 0. o. c.,
and Commodore Columbus Cook, COM
manding U. S. S. Cuckoo" are the
characters counted on to sustain the
operatic farce, ''Ship Ahoy," which is
being produced at the Providence Opera
House this week. Their ability in this
direction was fully demonstrated at last
nights performance. Cast on an un-
known island in the tropics, the Oriole
Opera Company is in sorry way until
the arrival of the Cuckoo" The scene
is changed to the quarterback of the
steamer, where the best music of the
evening is introduced, and all principals
are given an opportunity to display their
individual talents. The drinking song in
this act between the commodore and the
colonel, is by far the most amusing and
musical of the evening, and the stage
business employed by the colonel when
he assumes command in the unavoidable
absence of the commodore, is broad pan
tomime of hilarious nature that called
forth loud plaudits from the entire house
The humor is here concentrated, and the
surrounding framework of a handsome
chorus of youthful maidens and gallant
tars make picture that is always
pleasing. Miss Lottie Gilman, the
leading soprano, has a voice of
singular purity and clearness, her
tones are mellow and flowing whether in
the upper or lower register, and her
mannerisms are always delicate and
used with an accuracy that comes with
faithful study. Miss Edith Sinclair was
an acceptable contralto and the tenor
part was sung by Mr.. Walter III. Ford,
who has voice clear and sweet and
free from that nasal tone so often used
by tenors in their endeavor to emulate
the masters of grand opera. Jessie Jen-
kins sang the baritone poet acceptably.
Miss Edith Murilla, soubrette of abil-
ity, sang sweetly, danced entertainingly
and used her eyes in manner TO cap
tivate the male portion Of the audience.
Taken altogether it is first-class COM
pany and the music is pleasant and

Burglars in the Saratoga Cottages.

The family of Hon. Edward Kearney Of New
York, who resides in the Edna Cottage, on Caro-
line street, Saratoga, was aroused by the bark
ing of watch dog that was on the lower floor
early yesterday morning. A houseu,aid arose
and went to the head Of the front stairs and
saw the fash Of dark lantern. She thinks
there were two men in the house. Mr.. Kear-
ney Immediately rang his burglar alarm and
telephoned to police headquarters. Three
officers started ut once for the scene Of tho
burglary. On their arrival they found the
family up, lights ablaze and the household in
commotion.. The house was thoroughly
searched, but the thieves had escaped by
the way they had entered, which was by
forcing the locks on the rear cellar door and
picking the lock on the entrance to tho kitchen.
They had the silver ware in tho dining room
piled up and had opened the sideboard drawers
Before coming upstairs they had opened the
ice box and had n meal as q preparation for
their Job. Similar attempts were made the
night before at other cottages.
