To Move Into New Quarters.

The proprietors of the Merchants
Cafe have leased the building recently
occupied by Priddy e. Dunlap on Jeffer-
son street, and will occupy it IN short
time. The building is now being en-
tirely overhauled and put in first class
condition. The new quarters will be
more commodious than the old, and
another advantage will be that the
kitchen will be separated from the
house.

A MINISTER on TIE DRINK EVIL.

For a recent text the Rev. Thomas Dixon
The Gates of He'll in Modern Babylon"
The enormous extent OF the drink evil -
said Mr.. Dixon in the course OF his remarks,
''is impossible for the mind of man to grasp.
1t is the one deadly shadow that overspreads
not simply the life OF the people in the city,
but of the whole Nation. 1t is the one curse
that touches US financially, socially. politi-
cally and morally. 1t has concentrated its
forces lately in the cities as never before. II
has been shown that the city of Chicago
alone consumes $40 900, 900 worth of beer III
a single year. Pittsburg spends $lS, 900. 900
for drink. New York spends not less than
$50, 900, 900 or $40, 000, 900 for beer alone.
1--WE have about 5000 licensed drinking
places and about 5000 Illicit establishments
whore drink is sold without a license. and the
drink establishments swing wide their doors
day and night and seven days in the week.
AS compared with them, the church cuts an
insignificant figure III the life OF the people.
On Fourteenth street there is an historic sa-
loon with its outfit Of evil adyenturers and
adventuresses who daily and nightly throng
it. By its side stands a church. silent and
grim and unlighted, save on special occa-
slons. Below Fourteenth street there are III
churches, there are 4065 saloons.
"Ihere is scarcely a murder trial in Ameri-
ca in which drink does not figure in the cvi-
dence affecting the life of the poor. There is
not one chance in thousand, | believe, in
which it will be found that the saloon plays
no part. The evidence on which Buchanan
was convicted was obtained in a barroom."
The free press., 1893-07-06
STRONG MEDICAL EVIDENCE.

Among those who have given testimony
before the Canadian Royal Commission now
engaged in investigating the liquor prob
lem is F. W. Campbell, NJ. D., Dean of the
Faculty of Lenox College, attending physi-
elan of Western Hospital, and Medical Ref
cree for the Canadian Life and New York
Insurance Companies. He testified that
"a great proportion of the cases he had to
deal with in his hospital practice was caused
by drink. He would say at least seventy per
cent. directly, and from ten to fifteen per
cent. indirectly. Closely questioned by the
Chairman, he repeated his statement that
fully eighty-fve per cent. of the hospital
cases were the result of drink. He further
volunteered the statement that after nine
years experience of dealing with 100 SOL
diers in st. Johns Infantry School, he was
prepared to state that ninety-nine per cent.
of all the trouble with the men in that insti
tuition was caused by liquor. Some trouble
came from the canteen in the school but
more from liquor facilities outside"
None have better opportunities than medi-
cal men to know the evil effects of alcohol
upon the human body and brain. Such tes-
timony as the above ought to have much
weight with intelligent, thoughtful people.
In the light of it total abstinence becomes
the only wise and safe rule of conduct
