CORRESPONDENCE.


Party.
WINCHESTER, Va, Apr. IS, '93.
MR.. EDITOR:
Please let me say, in addition to what
| read in your issue of the 18th in regard
to the new Prohibition party. | love
Prohibition for the enemies it has made.
and call on all good men to think of
the company they keep when they vote
against all that is sacred and dear to the
home. Nobody doubts but that every
law breaker, who is out of jail and can
get to the polls, will be taken there, and
if necessary, bribed to vote against us.
Every Sabbath>breaker will be on hand
for that purpose every gambler and
every saloon keeper. The enemies of So
ciety will be solid. The church, perhaps,
will be divided, and this one fact is what
defeated Prohibition in six States in
1889. We do not have to get enough
voters on our side to elect our candidates.
As soon as we elect our issue, we shall be
in sight of success. If you remember.
the Abolitionists polled but five per cent
in 1856; but their ideas went into power
in 1860. Already we have polled three
per cent-150,000 for St. John; 100000 for
Fisk. nearly half million in 1899.
God wants us to hold together, and
keep on pounding, just as we have done
in the past. He wants US to hew out the
wood, shape the planks, mortise the
1,o sd l,o
along the hands to raise the building
with a shout If we obey the call all
christian work will receive such an i'm
petus as has not before been known in
our history. There is no evil which
could stand for day against the united
opposition of the Churches of our Lord
This great Christian majority God calls
to take possession of the land in the
name of his Son-to sweep it clean from
the curse of intemperance
There are some important thoughts
on this line for Christians. Esau sold
his birth-right for a mess of pottage;
Ephriam, Joined to his idols, was let
alone; Judas bartered his Lord away
L
new age, and the Christian who would
not for a moment permit a saloon-keeper
to be Il member Of his church, but votes
to legalize the saloon keepers business,
must be the incarnation of these cli;irac-
ters described in Holy writ.
In every village and city there are
three forces at work: The Celestial,
Terrestrial and Diabolical. How to as
sort these is a very important question.
Were they separated and each marching
under its own banner, instead of mas
querading under another, success would
come tomorrow. Beer and Doodle are
partners to-day in both the Big Parties,
(for none is Great except the little Pro
hibition party. Be it known the wide
world over that both the Republicans
and Democrats have been strangely
silent on this question as party and in
their platform.
Yours Respectfully,
w. III. TAYLOR.

An Ingenious April Fool.
m the Shenandoah Herald

From the Shenandoah Herald.
Three gentlemen of this place, Prof.
F., Harry G.. and Harry B., each received
a letter on Saturday morning purporting
to be from an attractive young lady of
New Market, in which she stated that
she would pass Woodstock on the North
bound train and wished particularly to
see them. OF course each supposed
himself to be the only lucky man, and
they were ready and eager for the inter
view. Professor thought he would take
the morning train for Edinburg, join
the lady there on the down train and
thus enjoy her company from that point
to Woodstock. Harry G. concluded to
purchase a ticket from Woodstock to
Strasburg and thus enjoy the twelve
mile ride with her, while Harry B. was
at the station an hour ahead Of time.
When the train arrived Harry G.. and
Harry B. both rushed aboard and got
half way through the car where they
met the Professor and at once inquired
of him wheather the young lady was
aboard. This brought out explanations,
and they found that each had received
the same message, and at the same time
fully realized that it was the 1st day of
April. They all vow revenge upon the
writer of the letters as soon as they dis
cover who the person is.
Nowhere excepting in this free and
beautiful country of ours, could an Incl
dent combining the humorous ond prac
tical have occurred like the following.
1t was between Mr.. Bliss, conductor on
the Chicago & Rock Island Railroad,
whose height is five feet, and Mr.. Henry.
a passenger, who stood seven in his
stockings. Mr., Henry put his ticket in
his hat band, and stood himself up when
the brief conductor came along. Mr..
Bliss could not reach the ticket, even
when standing on his toes, and his una>
vailing efforts to do so made all the pas
sengers 'laugh consumedly.n But he
rose to the occasion. Without changing
countenance, he brought step>ladder,
leaned it against the elongated Henry,
climbed up to and picked off the ticket
and went on as though nothing had
happened.

A set of choice books not kept in ths

These racks have two upright parts

bottom that regulates the width. They
are most often of oak, and some of them
have ornamental silver mountinrs at

has been made by covering small

with broczde or leather. They are
then ornamented with the needle or
