TEMPERANCE SERMON
Preached a. the Cathedral by Rev.
Father Younar.
A LARGE CONGREGATION PRESENT
And a Large Number of Men Sign tho
Total Abstinence Pledge - The
Reasons for Promising not to Drink
ms Given by Different PeOpIc.-The
Services To-day.

An immense throng of men gathered
at the Cathedral yesterday evening.
The privilege Of placing a number OF
laymen in the sanctuary. contrary to
the custom Of the church, was again
granted. Every available place was
taken by the men, who came in great
numbers.
The lecture was on the existence OF
God, proving His existence from the
order that exists In the world, which
presupposes the working Of an Infinite
Intellectual Being.
After the usual hymn, in singing
which all the men joined, the mission
sermon was preached. Rev. Father
Younan delivered this discourse. His
subject was "Intemperance."
A card was given to each man to take
home. On the back Of this card are
eight good reasons why each man should
practice total abstinence. The face OF
the card contains the formula OF total
abstinence promise. There is coupon
attached to the card, which is to be torn
off and given to the missionary, with
the name and address OF the promiser.
Rev. Father Younan made strong
appeal to mans nobility. He showed
how total abstainers arc nobler men,
good citizens, better Christians, have
better health, longer lie. and pleasanter
homes than habitual drunkards.
The back OF the card contain the fol-
lowing reasons for making the promise:
AS REASON.
! feel that by making this promise can en-.
courage others. who may need 1t, to do the same.
MS REASON.
Ihaye noticed that those who make aud keep
such promises arG better Christians. have better
health. longer life and pleaSanter homes than
hAbltuRl drinkers.
CTS REASON.
fcauuot afford to be constantly drinking !
have family TO support, ind they need all can
earn.
D'sREAsoS.
Unjust do some pcnance for my sins; such sell.
denial Is pleasing 10 God and meritortous Tor me.
Els REASON.
lam afraid OF giving scandal TO my children or
to others; should anyone by my example become
a drunkard. what could answer III the DAY oil
judgment?
rs REASON.
Drunkenness Is n great cause OF sin. cruelty
and crime; intend 10 avoid even the occasion
OF It
G's REASON.
Once was the victim OF the drink habit. I am
resolved never again to submit to It's slavery.
MS REASON.
When the demon OF dscord caused by drink
enters the house. the angel OF peace departs:
prefer dwelling with the angel OF peace than
with the demon of discord.
This morning at o'clock the Thanks
giving mass will be celebrated and an
appropriate sermon will be preached.

Collier md his Play.

William Golfers "a Back Number"
seen at the Opera House last night, is
strictly "up to date" strange as the par
adox may seem. 1t is strong play,
full OF good situations, and the comedy
is as good as any Mr.. Kidder has ever
been the author Of. In the dual role Of
the two brothers Mr.. Collier revealed a
versatility he never before had the OPP
portunity to show. To compare him
with Sol Smith Russell is unfair to both.
He is neither better nor worse-he is
different. He has a play which will
win, and many in the good sized aud.
fence last night regretted that it was not
here two nights. so that they might ad-
wise their friends to see it. The cast is
good. One OF the members was II. A.
Smith, an old Wheeling fayorite, last
here with Roland Reed.

Ticket Agents and Counterfeits.

Counterfeit money comes into the
hands Of the railroad ticket agent more
frequently than anywhere else. But this
official of the great steel highway has to
become an expert in detecting it, else his
salary would suffer to the amount of
spurious coin which he took in.
The detection Of counterfeits seems to
ticket seller. To discover a bad piece of
silver is a comparatively easy matter,
for it has greasy feeling and very sell
dom looks like good money. Even if it
possesses these requisites of good coin it
very seldom has the weight of the gen.
uine quarter, half dollar or dollar, and
the lack Of weight is perceptible by tax
ing it in the hand
But to detect bad bill is not, to the
laynan who is not burdened with han
ding thousands of dollars each day, an
easy task. The expert ticket agent will,
however, when counting a stack of bills
ranging in value from one dollar to fifty
dollars with great rapidity snap them in
out the cOunterfeits, seemingly by an
acute sense of touch. Some ticket agents
are marvelOusly clever in this way The
method used by the majority in detecting
bad bill is to hold it to the light and
see if it contains parallel silk threads
running horizontally through it. All gen
uine bills contain these.-Albany Argus
