EXCISE REFORM LEGISLATION.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir For several years past legislation for the
strcton Of the liquor traffic has been hopeless be-
at Albany
The result OF the late election has given an op-
porunity for full and fair consideration Of egis-
atve remedies which shall commend themselves to
the intelligence OF the community In order that the
action taken should not be tnctured with any par
ticularism. the Church Temperance Society issued
invitation to twenty Of the societies In this city
State whose work brings them into personal
contact with poverty and crime and who have
therefore a more or less expert knowledge OF how
large factor the liquor saloon is In producing the
grave problems Of social condition and municipal
government with which are at present strtIg-
Cling
The second meeting of eighteen representatives of
these societies was held In the Trustees Room of
the United Charities Building Saturday might last
o'clock. under the presidency OF the Hon w III
Arnoux.
Each representative called upon 10 state In
what particulars his society considered the law Of

THE LATE A. NJ. SERBIA.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Since the death of my father Mr.. A. NJ
Serbia there have been printed in The Tribune ref
erences to letters written by my father TO an old
servant Of ours. am led to anticipate that in the
minds Of many to whom he not personally
known (of his many friends have fears) abso-
lutely unjust and erroneous infortnoes may have
found odgment
This woman and her family had been old and
faithful servants OF my fathers for many years
when he left his home the lst OF August. 1892
to take advantage Of an apparently lucrative bust
ness opportunity In the West. The has
freely given me all the letters she received
from my father and now have them IN my pos
session. There are but five or six OF them. and
they were all written since May 1888. and
nearly all within the last two months They
bear unmistakable evidence OF nothing but the in
sanely extravagant expression OF A kindly feeling
toward a longtime faithful servant descriptions OF
his travelling experiences. and the lamentable con-
ditOn OF mind which business troubles caused
and which had gradually developed unknown to his
family during the past six months, resulting In his
death the past week.
The ignorance of the woman TO what was best
to do prevented her bringing the letters to me when
first received. She has freely given me her sworn
statement that she has never my father since
he left home on the LIST If August. 1892 as above.
Kindly give this letter the greatest possible promi
nence In your paper without delay. and by doing
aid his friends and family in blotting out all the
absolutely false and cruel infererces which may
exist in relation to the memory OF who
eyer lived an absolutely upright and blameless
life. GEORGE d. serbia.

really freproof. 1t looks like n Moorish fortress.
but is In fact n storage warehouse, one result OF
the insecurity felt In Brooklyn since the fire in
