HOW ARE PEOPLE HURT BY
STRONG DRINK.

Alcohol Injuries the body; its
health, the heart, the blood, brain,
nerves, kidneys, the strength, the
skill, the appetite, taste; Injuries the
mind, judgment, reason. disposition,
character, affections; hinders the
work of the Holy Spirit, STILES good
convictions, binders all good infu-
ences, as we'll as conversion; or, if
one is Christian it binders his
growth in spiritual life. In the end
it units one for society, for respect
here, or for Heaven hereafter. It
destroyes ones self respect, his bet
ter purposes, his friendships, his
hopes, and wrecks body, mind and
soul. OF those who were once beau
tiful boys and girls, it makes such
dreadful looking creatures that
mothers would shrink from having
them come near, or touch their
babies; of those who were once
innocent babes, it makes men and
women who are guilty of all kinds Of
crime. 1t takes the father from his
home, from his wife, his children
and from his business into the
saloon; puts hate where there was
love, poverty where there was plenty,
sorrow where there was Joy. Hate
such an enemy as strong drink; fight
such a foe as alcohol, and let the
friends OF temperance know where
you stand.-Selected.
The Jews do not in their feasts for
sacred purposes, including the
marriage feast, ever use any kind of
fermented drinks. In their obla-
tons and libations, both private and
public, they employ the fruit of the
vine-that is, fresh grapes-unfer-
mented grape juice and raisins as
the symbol of benediction. Fermen-
tation is to them always symbol of
corruption, as in nature and science
it is in itself decay, rotteness.-Dr.
S. M. Isaacs.
It is preposterous to fight against
alcohol in other places and welcome
it on the Lords table-Gerrit Smith,

THE SAMOAN MINISTER.
A Man of Importance and the Lead
ing Laundry of the Island.

"We were strolling about one of
the Samoan Islands," said a naval
officer to representative of the Star
the other day, docking about for
something interesting. We met
many people who did not seem to
know anything and could not answer
our questions, Finally we found a
man who seemed to appear better in
formed than the others and had the
appearance OF being q man of some
Importance. Though not q native,
he had, no doubt, been long on the
islands, as his appearance indicated.
He wore parts of German and parts
Of an English uniform, and / am not
sure that he did not have some Amer
ican clothes on.

ably be here for some time, and l

A LIVELY FRACAS.
Chinaman and a Native Engage in
a Rough Scrap.

ASO0S9A
A very lively fight between a
Chinaman and a native occurred
last night at about half.past seven
near the King street bridge. The
fighters were inside ring of about
three hundred people, who shouted
s'police, police" but failed to give
any assistance.
In some mysterious manner the
native was spirited away and the
Chinaman left alone in the center
of the ring.
Just at this time the police came
to the rescue. The Chinaman,
realizing that some one ought to
be arrested, pointed out two native
boys who were standing in the
place left vacant by the fighter who
escaped. Accordingly the two
were locked up. The Chinaman
succeeded in smearing blood all
over his face, hair and chest. In
vestigation showed two cuts-one
above the right temple a little
larger than a fnger-nail scratch,
and another about the same size on
the forehead.
It has been the repeated expert
ence at the police station to have
Cinnamon make almost a murder
out of a few scratches.

Disposition of Gate MISUNDERSTANDING
ship still Vacant-First Game Next
Saturday-Star and Unknown.

At the meeting of the baseball
league yesterday noon the principal
business was the disposition of gate
receipts for the season of '95. It
was decided to allow the associa-
ton the privilege Of keeping, until
the end of the season, as a guar
anty for the playing of all the
scheduled games, the gate receipts
for the first three games. Of the
games following, 40per cent. will be
delivered to the two teams Compel
ing-25 per cent to the winners and
Is per cent to the losers. The re-
naming 60 per cent. will go to the
association.
It was also decided to adopt the
'95 baseball rules.
The letter from Stanford Univer-
sity regarding arrangements for a
tour of that baseball team to Hon
olululu was not acted upon. The
boys thought it would be best to
postpone consideration until the
middle of the season, which time
the Stanford team prefers for trip
to the Islands.

Savings Bank Embezzler.

THE latest bank defalcation comes from
Binghamton, N. Y, where the Chenango
Valley Savings Bank and the Broome Ma
tional Bonk, of which Tracy R. Morgan
was treasurer and cashier, have closed
their doors because OF embezzlement by
thai official He has confessed the crime.
The books Of the banks are in deplorabe
state. News of the failure eau ,ed run on
the Binghamton Savings Bank. The crowd
of anxious depositors at that institution was
great, but the bank was prepared for the
Emergency The officers, pale but cool and
composed, stood behind the heavy plate
glass windows surrounded by piles OF shin
ing gold and silver. They had protected
themselves with large amount of cash, and
during the day kilograms were received
from metropolitan banking institutions to
the effect that they would support the Bing-
hamton banks for unlimited am cunts.

Writers Only Sweetheart.

Miss ELIZABETH BRAY DOWNING, the only
woman who ever won the affections of the
poet Whittier, died last week at West New
bury, Mass. Different stories run concern
ing their youthful courtship, but it is said
that when the poet was at the age of twenty
he met the lady at East Haverhill and a
warm friendship sprang up between the
two, which continued for 80 ne few years.
The cause Of their parting has never been
explained, although the rumor is that Whit
tier explained to Miss Bray that he could
not enter the matrimonial state for the rea-
son that he must care for his aged mother.
A year or two ago Miss Downing gained
some prominence from the fact of her being
the only sweetheart Of Whittier. In the
poem Memories he gives some beautiful
selections of his associations in early man
hood, and no doubt the compliments in his
verse alluded to Miss Downing.

10 Editor of The Evening Star.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Can You explain why the Commissioners
permit the kind of work that is being done
by the street sweeping contractor? Their
attention has been repea tedly called to it,
but still it is continued. He sweeps streets
that have not been sprinkled to within ten
or twelve feet of either curbstone, thereby
causing suffocating clouds of dust to arise
when the machines pass along and he also
sweeps-like he did yesterday-when it rains
and the streets are covered with mud and
water. 1t was common remark yeSter-
day with everybody, What in the world are
they attempting to sweep today for? 1t Is
throwing money away to allow such work"
and Nobody but the contractor can receive
any benefit from it, Il thought it was
against the rules of the department to sweep
when it was raining and pools of water We're
standing all over the surface of the Streets"
etc. etc. OF course, 1t does not cost as much
to half sprinkle street, and the contractor,
who is evidently short of materials for do
ing his work properly, will naturally take
advantage of every point of weakness and
inetiiciency shown by the authorities. And,
if allowed to sweep when it rains, he does
no Sprinkling, and the brooms smear the
streets with mud, but a small portion of
which is SWepthto the cutters, the most of it,
as will be seem being left to turn into dust
and be blown hloadcast. This kind of work
requires a smaller number of broomers and
carts, the resultant savings of which add
largely to the contractors profits, for he is
paid by the thousand square yards of sur
face swept, and not according to the num-
Der of men and carts he employs Now what
l would like to know, and what interests
the taxpayers. is whose business is it to
look after these matters? If the Commits
sioners, why don't they do it? If the super
intendent of the street sweeping depart
ment, why don't he do it? If the inspectors,
why don't they do it? If the contractor has
been given carte blanche authority in the
ar,,is hwy hn hnI,
over to him, thus saving the expense to the
District of employing a superintendent at
50 day and four inspectors al $3.50 a day
each, with an allowance of an additional
dollar day each for use of horse and buggy
to supervise and inspect his work?

THIRTY YEARS IN SERVICE.
Anniversary Exercises by the Good
Temp1nrs of the District.

Templnrs of the District.
The thirtieth anniversary of the founding
of the Independent Order of Good Templars
in the District was celebrated last evening
in the First Presbyterian Church with ap-
by prominent officers of the order and spe-
cial music by quartet composed of Mrs.
w. L. Wilson, Miss Emma Brock, H o.
Simpson and DR.. Gabriel F. Johnston. Mrs
Wilson also sang solo, and Mr.. Frank
Ward opened the exercises with an organ
voluntary.
Upon the platform was seated the presid-
ing officer of the meeting. A. T. Maupin,
grand counselor. aid with him were DR..
Byron Sunderland: A n. Garfield, grand
chief templar of the District; S. w Russell
grand superintendent for juvenile tempiars
of the District, and Dr. d. H. Mann, right
worthy grand templar of the world, who
came over from New York to attend the
anniversary.
Grand Chief Templar Garfield, in an ad-
dress, said that nearly eight thousand mem
bers had been added to the order in the Dis
trict during the past decade, and about 1000
of that number were young men. He told
of the good the order had accomplished in
this city for the temperance cause.
Grand Superintendent Russell said that
the brightest jewel of the order the
juvenile branch. He said it was to be found
in every country where the senior body ex-
listed, and in this city had a membership of
1900 boys and girls.
DR.. Mann delivered an eloquent address,
telling of what the Good Templars had done
for temperance, and suggesting to the local
lodges methods for perfecting their work.
He discussed temperance from a medical
standpoint, and spoke in opposition to high
license.
