The fact that the leading Aus
tralian cycle racers are total abb
stainers and non-smokers is re-
corded by 7Ae League J0HrnaL
Investigation in Massachusetts,
has brought out the fact that
there were last year twice as
many arrests for drunkenness in
high-license cities than in no
license or prohibition cities.
It is stated that the drink bill
Of the House of Commons for five
months, according to latest off
cial returns, is 10000, a
very large amount for each,
when temperance members are
deducted. Small wonder that
temperance legislation makes no
Roadway in England.
Chicago has 6,7Io saloons.
The license is $500. which brings
to the city, if they all pay the
license fee, S3,555,ooo. The fine
for violating the Sunday law is
$500. This ought to bring about
SI,342 900 more. We very much
fear that the city is lnulcted on
this last.
The Raines liquor law which
has just been passed in New
York, makes it illegal for church.
es to use fermented wine in the
Lords Supper. One of its pro-
visions is that it shall not be law
full to sell or give away any liquor
on Sunday. This restriction was
not intended, of course, to apply
to the Lords Supper. 1t would
not seem that this would prove a
hardship to any church and it
will be a sad indication of the
status toward the temperance re-
form Of any church that finds it
SO.
The Chicago TImes-Heruld, in
an editorial on the discovery Of
the x ray and its connection
with health and longevity, pays
the following unsolicited tribute
to the advance in science as re-
CARDS alcohol: when alcohol
was first distilled the rude people
that discovered it shouted with
joy that here, indeed, was the
water of life, and they named it
can de vle in one language and an
7v1sge6fatAa in another. From
this latter we get the name
'whiskey,' but it is pretty we'll

name of water of life.

Leading Citizen OF Middletown Waylaid,
Robbed and Placed ON the halfway
Track In an Unconscious Condition.
MIDDLETowN, o., Dec. l4.-John We'll
sharr, a leading East-End citizen, was
waylaid and robbed Sunday night. Af-
ter the highwayman had assaulted him
they placed his body across the Big
Four railroad tracks, south of the
station. Officer Yarnell found the
man, who was unconscious, a few min
utes before the late freight train was
due at this point. The men used a
beer bottle on their victim. The sup
position is that it was the work of two
tramps who had been seen in the rail-
road yards. Weisharr's condition is
dangerous.
