congregated on upper Broadway, New

in the Pittsburg Dispatch. Grant?
Oh. no. Cleveland? Not much.
ANYBODY you ever heard of before?
Never bit. It's John Rademaker.
And who on earth is John Rade-
maker? you will wonder Just ask
the first actor you meet.
"Why. of course l know John Rade-
maker! He lives in Frisco, and is
the hest man who ever drew breathwI
But who is he and what does he do
and what has he done? That is what
YOU naturally want to know. Then
you'll find out from two or three men
at, the same time that John Rade-
maker keeps big saloon in San
Francisco and is an "angel." When
an actor from the East gets stranded
in San Francisco or indeed anywhere
on the Pacific coast, he goes straight
to John Rademaker. 1t appears that
John Rademaker has an elastic and
sympathetic auricular apDendage
that is always wide open to the rep
utabie men in the profession who get
stuck on the slippery slope. Those
who have never been stranded 1000
miles from home, with an idle sum-
mer ahead and no bank account, will
not be able to realize what such
friendship means. Imagine your-
self in London without friend
and without cent, as some
Americans are always to be
found there, and you'll know
what the sensation is to the actor left
in Frisco at the close of the season.
Then imagine man like John Rade-
maker In the Strand to whom you go
and pour out your tale of woe, and
who pulls out his roll and says to
you:
"Well, old man. l don't know you;
but from what I've heard of you, I
think you'll make this good when
you're in better luck. I'll take my
chances on you, anyhow. I'll just
stake you for trip home. Oh, that's

THE REPUBLICAN COUNCIL.
Representatives From a Large Num-
Der of Clubs Deliberate.


There was very large attendance at the
meeting of the Republican executive COM
mittee in the Alcazar building last night.
The executive committee OF the body had
called meeting. and it invited the entire
council to be present AS a result there
were present representatives from the fol-
lowing clubs: Union League, State
League of Clubs. the Bear, the Beaver,
Beaver No. ., Mckinley Club, Sailors and
Soldiers Veteran Association, Thirty
first, Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventb. Thirty
eighth, Thirty-ninth and FOrty-fifth Dis
trict clubs.
The council devoted some time to the
instruction OF Its members in reference to
securing good men TO represent 1t at the
primaries. the manner of securing repre-
sentatlon by application to the County
Committee, and the forming Of clubs ire
spective of the County Committee.

ported that its membership had increased

Chinese converts. You won't see adrunken
Chinaman even in this city, where there
are probably 10000 of them, and vet there
are quite number of Christians. as any
one can see if they come to this church
during divine service. Liquor has been
introduced into Africa by traders. and to
some extent into the south seas, but in no
other heather countries that l know
of. We have missionaries even among
the Mohammedans. In the past the
church as a whole has not been set
against the liquor business as 1t is
to-day, but there has been a great
awakening in that respect. Individually
the sentiment of the church has ever been
against drunkenness and the liquor traffic,
but it is only of late years that 1t has
taken up the crusade with vigor. The
Presbyterian church in its annual con-
ventiOn has each year lately adopted
strong resolutions on temperance, and it
has standing committee on temperance.
1t is very active to-day.
The introduction of whisky into Africa
is not due to the church. but TO commerce.
1t is q matter of dollars and cents and not
of religion. Mrs. Browns assertions are

and got 1t from other things than Boston
rum. In the Hawaiian Islands, for in
stance, long before Christianity sought
proselytes, there the natives had learned
the art of disiilling from some Botany
Bay convcts who had landed there and
used to drink often to excess. Truly,
Christianity is shardly responsible for
this; there was little of the Christian about
those convicts. Then in nearly all the
Pacific islands the natives could induce
quite ford degree of int0xication from
what was known as 'cocoanut toddy,"
which they produced by messing a palm
tree, binding it tightly about the wounded
part and allowing the exudation to fer
ment which it did very quickly. Through
Micronesia. among the American Indians,
in Africa the people all had some
kind of stimulant. But outside of all this
there is no doubt that whisky is intro
duced in large quantities to Africa. But
can the Foreign Missionary Boards help
that? You cannot prohibit the liquor
men from selling their goods there, and
though it is shame. can the Christian re-
ligion be held responsible?
AS a matter of fact. nearly all the
members of the church to-day are ssanch
temperance people, The missionary
wherever he goes essays to eradicate
whatever vices he finds as well as
to SOW seeds of Christianity. The mis-

church, does not take the whisky to the
heather. Another point is that while
liquor does go to Africa, it does not enter
in any great quantities China or Japan.
