 At the temperance meeting of the c. k. society, Sunday evening, these points points were forcibly made by those par ticipating: The Bible and experience teach that intemperance in any form is a great sin, punishable alike by the law of God and of Nature. The manufacture and use of cider as beverage is wrong, should be restricted and, as soon as pos sible though education, prohibited. A chemical analysis of these beverages shows the almost total absence of food properties and the presence of deadly poisons. Total abstinence is the only safe course and the one that will infiu- ence others. o. B. Burton, leader, spoke of ragged, drunken tramp, who came into our place asking where he could get a drink.

Ex-Town Clerk c. II. Peck now has the Elon Booth sareophagus in place and it is certain to be one of the sights of our city of the dead. The stone is Vest erley granite and MT Peck secured it through the Eastern Granite Co. of s East 42d street, New York. It cost in the neighborhood of $4000 and is pol ished all over, the inscriptions and em- blems being sunk into the stone. The foundation is laid securely, as might be expected of so experienced a stone work CT as MT Peck. It is four feet deep and grouted, on which rests d massive base nine feet by five feet three and foot thick. On this base are supported four other pieces, the first seven feet eight by three feet II and also d foot thick; the second six feet eight by two feet II and one foot five thick; the third, the die bearing the inscriptions and emblems, six feet by two feet three and two feet two thick and the cap seven feet two by three feet five and one foot II inches thick. The front of the die is inscribed with the name, Elon Booth, in large plain letters and the back with the dates lSl0-lS90. On the north side are the hammer and point and on the south square and chisel and Mir Peck has been at great pains to have these emblems of Elon's craft exact reproductions of the tools he used, which were rougher and less artistic than modern implements of the trade. The sarcophagus, which is seven and half feet high, is such a substantial, simple and yet impressive memorial as Elon himself would have chosen
