The Cincinnati Liederkranx.

Forty-five members of the Cincinnati
Liederkranz, under the auspices of the In
dianapolis Maennerchor. gave an enjoyable
concert at Englishs Opera House last night.
The theater was well filed with audience
distinctly German. The Cincinnati singers
brought with them their own orchestra.
and during the evening the audience was
entertained with instrumental music of the
highest order The programme rendered by
the Liederkranz Society was extensive.
Many of the selections were received with
enthusiastic applause, and several times the
singers were recalled. One of the most en-
ioyahle renditions was the German adapta-
tion of the plaintive old Southern melody
other pieces given which found favor with
the audience was the Rose of the Water"
the ssSerenade to a Sweetheart" and THE
Reetle and the Flower" The music was
under the direction of Louis Ehrgott.

TEMPERANCE RALLY.
MEETING OF THE OLD FATHER
MATHEW SOCIETY.
ADDRESS BY FIR. HEBRON
Followed by Other WeIl-Knpw:n
Temperance .WOrkers--Many
Are Present


The first rally this winter of the old
Father Matthew society took place yes
terday afternoon at the society's his
toric hall in the cathedral The aud
ience was large, and included members
of the Crusaders and Sacred Thirst So
cieties.
An enthusiastic, witty and convincing
address was made by Rev. Father Hef-
from, of the cathedral, in which he
mentioned the striking fact that from
the small, somber, plainly-furnished
room in which he spoke had gone forth
one of the most powerful and lasting
temperance movements of this country
and generation. 1t was necessary, how
ever, that the eyes of efficient temper
ance workers be directed to the future
and not to the past. It would not do to
constantly initiate and repeat old meth
DDS. Open enthusiasm and noisy ex-
element might afford a temporary
benefit, but long, determined efforts
were needed to ensure permanent re-
suits.
p. A. Egan followed with an excel
lent recitation, and musical selections
were agreeably rendered by T. E. Burk
and Miss Kelly, secretary of the Sa-
cred Thirst society. Father Woods,
spiritual director, spoke hopefully of
the outlook for temperance work.
John Treacy, president, made some
cogent recommendations on two mat
ters very important to the cause of
temperance in st. Paul. He advised
the society that it was the evident in
tention of the liquor element to bring
up, near the close of the present ses-
sion of the legislature, a bill reducing
the liquor license from $1,000 to $500.
An effort would then be made to rush
the bill through. Again, he pointed
out most grave and serious evil
the existence of numerous wine rooms
in connection with the saloons of this
city. These rooms were active ad-
juncts Of both the liquor traffic and a
traffic even more degrading. They
constantly menace the virtue of the
young girl. They are, in addition, the
sole support of numerous saloons
which would otherwise fail from lack
of business during these hard times
j. j. Regan, state secretary of the
Catholic Total Abstinence union, was
accordingly instructed to call a meet
ing of all the G. T. A. societies in this
county, and to arrange for presenta-
ton to the legislature of petition
against the reduction of the amount
of the present liquor license. The
county societies will also prepare bill
for the abolition of the degrading wine
room.
Another rally will be held by the
Father Matthew society a week from
next Sunday at $3.50 p. m. in their hall
in the cathedral building Prominent
speakers will deliver addresses, and
fine miscellaneous programme will be
presented.

JOHN TILLMAN'S MISERY.
He Left His Family at Orton-

Of Work.

And the Doctor Told Him to

SorroWful.
La GRIPPE OVERLOOK HIM

According to the statement of John
Tillman, the unfortunate man VINO
was terribly injured north OF the
Seventh street viaduct, last Satur-
DAY afternoon, and later suffered the
amputation of both legs below the
knee, at the city hospital, his de-
plorable condition is directly attri-
butabIe to the facetious and asinine
advice of a minneapolis physician,
who prescribed for him. Yesterday,
when Tillman recovered conscious
= ness, he related a story of pathos
and misfortune. Nearly month
ago he bade his wife and two chill
dren, who reside at Ortonville, good
bye, and started on a tour of the
farming districts, seeking employ
ment.
His search was unsuccessful, and
a few days ago he arrived in Min
neapolis with but scanty supply
of money, and suffering from a
severe attack of la grippe.
He consulted a physician, who
lightened his purse by demanding a.
fat fee and prescribing ''booze," and
plenty of it. Tillman has not dis
cosed the identity of the Minneap-
oils medical Solon, but closely fol-
lowed his prescription, with the re-
suit that when he made his debut in
st. Paul he was more joyful than an
aged coryphee at an Irish christen-
ing. The man does not have the
slightest recollection of how ne came
in the vicinity of the Duluth tracks,
and is ignorant of whether he was
struck by an engine or a car. The
odor of intoXicants still fingered
with the granger from Ortonville
when taken to the city hospital,
where a pint bottle of fusel oil NOR
phine, with dash of opium, was
removed from an inside pocket. He
survived the ordeal of amputation
well, and is recovering RAPIDLY.
