der OF William Terriss, tho famous actor.
A., he was about to enter the stage door
Of the Adelphi Theatre. on the Strand, to

play, his assailant, man named Archer,
who until three weeks before was super
on the Adelphi stage, plunged q long,
sharp butcher kniie into Terriss's back be-
tween the shoulder blades, penetrating the
lungs and heart. He left the 6eapon
sticking In the wound.
As the unfortunate IN ian tottered through
the stage door and fell to the floor the
murderer stood eooily by. He said moth
ing, and made no resistance whom taken
into custody by the janitor, who at the
same time shouted for assistance.
Mr.. Terriss merely calculated: "Who
did this? he has killed mel" Then he be-
came unconscious, and before doctor or
other aid was ut hand he died.
The murderer, Scotohman. had an I'M
aginary grievance against Mr.. Terriss.

childrsn,s Societies.


The formation Of total abstinence socie-t
ties among the boys and girls is one Of the
best possible means to combat the VICE OF
drupkenness When the youthful mird9
are plastic, there should be impressed mp
ON them the necessity Of sobriety in the
battle Of Life. Let there be formed In them
the habit Of abstinence from liquor. Teach
them that In this, as in every other Vice.
there Is always beginning little insids
ious beginning, q perfectly hamless-look-
ing beginning-but in this beginning, as In
q disease germ, lurk all the terrible posst-
bilities, all the direrul consequences Of tho
drink habit.
In many families the children ses liquor
used on every occasion, sometimes as q
beverage, sometimes as o medicine; and
they are Influenced, Of course, BY tho ex-'
ample OF their parents to look upon II a.
an indispensable article in the domestic
economy. It should be the duty Of temper
ance workers to combat this idea. It should
be their earnest care to spread the light In,
such dark places. But the parents cannot
very easily be reached, and even II they
could, 1t would be almost an impossibility
to change their lifelong views on tho SUBJ
ject. The children, therefore, arc the ones
to be sought after, and 1t is with them,
through the means Of attractive societies,
that the work OF temperance can be best
advanced.

No Middle Ground.

The drink traf1c paraiyzes every political,
social, moral and religious condition which
tolerates It. We cannot compromise with
this evil. There ID no middle ground. It's
presence Is death. Fo : the Government to
legalize, sanction, or protect It Is to form
leasue with hell and destruction. The
traf1c should be destroyed, and as first
step the Government, both national and
Stale, should dissolve its partnership in
the business and cast It adrlft, without pro-
lection. Then outlaw 1t as o public enemy,
the legitimate prey for destruction. Be-
hold the ravages OF the hend as 1t sweeps
over the land, consuming thousands OK
souls annually, causing desolation, despair
and death to millions. We hear the lamen.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.
The Present Need-A Bishops Opinion on

of Total Abstinence Have the Respect
<r Ar C,...a. Ey;ye oF nrun k enuess.

The Present Need--A Bishops Opinion on
the Temperance observation-disclosures
of Total Abstinence Have the Respect
OF All Classes-Eyils OF Drunkenness.
At a recent meeting of the Catholic Total
Abstinence Union OF Philadelphia, Bishop
Prendergast made an address to the dele
gates, in which he said:
"We have active members, honorary
members, and what might be called sym
pathetic members. For some reason, hard
for you to understand, these will not work
and give their names to your cause. This
may be inconsistent, and We may say that
they are not doing all they could do, but
one Of the best effects OF the work OF the
total abstinence societies Is the change
they have brought about In public opinion
regarding the use Of intoxicating liquor.
1T used to be On evidence Of crankiness
for one to be o total abstainer. Now you
have the respect and sympathy OF all
classes. would remind you that the
fathers OF the Council OF Baltimore, In urg-
ing upon Catholics to unite In extirpatins
the pestiferous evil Of drunkenness, urged
priests and people to do so for love OF re-
iigion and for love Of country, two OF the
highest motives to be proposed to any
right man or woman. Drunken
ness not only destroys religion In Its vic
tln, put pfinSs onBfhco ou fonSAon isSoh.
1t was one Of the objections in the past
(snd, unfortunately. there is some Of It
Left urged against Catholics. It is an evil
against the country. 1t destroys the citi-
zen and the family. For love OF religion
and for love Of country the Council OF Bal
timore urges priests and people to unite In
extirpating this evil"
The Bishop insisted that the ruling mo-
tive for work must be supernatural-the
salvation Of souls. The material good re-
sulting from total abstinence was not to be
despised, but tho chief aim should be to
preserve souls from sin. He spoke Of the
great good that may be accomplished by
extra endeayor IN the enrolment Of iuve-
niles, and assured his hearers that he
would continue, when giving confirmation,
temperance societies in their parishes.
