Rev IT. n. Lynch, Of the Chapline
Street NJ. r. church, takes a very hope
iu. view of the Prohibition party move
ueaJ. "All reforms, he says, make
very slow progress at first. Why, fifty
years ago even Methodist ministers had
their Lutte Jug on the SidebOard, and
now a minister known to drink intoXi-
eating liquor would be removed per-
eup,0rily from his charge. We expect
10 gain heavily in West Virginia this
year. The million vote plan is a sue
cess, nearly the requisite number hav-
ing pledged themselves TO vote the
Prohibition ticket when the million
names were secured. The Prohibition
party is iu the field TO stay, as both of
the other political parties are equally
Dad on the whiSkey question"
There are few publications that have
created wider interest In local literary
circles than Verse and Story" by the
late Mrs. Florence " Birmingham,
wife Of Rev. Jacob Birmingham, Rector
Of st. Luke's Episcopal Church. 1t is
valued partly for the high esteem in
which the author is held and the deep
appreciation felt in her high literary
ai@,lmentS. Few more learned
ladies' have resided in Wheeling
than Mrs. Birmingham. Tho book is
preiaced by a memoir by Rt. Rev.
GEORGE w. Peterkin, ID. D., Bishop OF
West Virginia, in which he elOQuently
Oea.s with the noble character and In
e.ectual life Of the deceased. The
poems written by Mrs. Birmingham in
lls volume are gems Of thought, and
profitable 10 read. They speak a rare
poeuc genius. The stories also in
Guided 10 the volume are we'll wrought
ana deity told, and point obvious
morals
