NEWS OF THE CHURCHES.
WORK ON THE INDEPENDENT
SPIRE ABOUT FINISHED.

WOrkmen Had "a Dizzy Time of II
During Yesterdays Thunderstorm
Church SteepIeS Built so That They
VIII sway In the Wind-TO-day' :
Sermons in All the Churches.
The work now in progress on the indie
pendent Presbyterian church steeple will
probably be completed the latter part OF
this week. All that remains TO be done
outside the spire win be finished to-mor-
row. The weather vane. with its three
large gilded balls. will be set up in posi-
ton. 1t will be placed at the extremity OF
the iron supporting rod that extends part
of the way through the copper spire. Al
ter this is done the scanolding viii be
taken down and work VIII begin on the
interior.
There are a number Of braces 10 be plac-
ed in the steeple below the copper spite, and
for this work two or three days viii be
required. These braces VIII run horizon
tally across the interior and in slanting po-
sitions. They are required TO give the
stesple greater rgidity. Its sway has been
too great and the last severe storm dem
onstrated the necessity for increased sup
port. The big blow bent the steeple three
feet from the perpendicular the inclina-
ton being toward the northeast. This de-
Election has already been corrected.
Contractor Q. II. Prlndle, who, under
the direction of Mr.. Henry Urban, is do
ing the work on the spire, says il is essen
tial to its stable equilibrium that stee-
pie should rock during a wind. If II did
not 1t would be the more likely TO blow
down. care is taken in the construction
10 allow for this rocking With this
steeple the lack of rigidity has been TOO
pronounced, and the introduction Of ad-
ditionaI braces was judged necessary.
Mr.. PrindIe says that even in the slight
est breeze he can feel a very perceptible
rocking, when he is at the top of this or
any other high steeple. This swayng in
creases as the wind becomes higher, and
with very high steeples the departure
from the perpendicular is as much as 1--WE
or six feet. During the earlier part of the
thunder storm yesterday, while the work
men We're still at the top of the spire, the
electricity in the atmosphere could he
plainly felt by them. "A piece of copper
held close to the steel rod would cause an
interchange of sparks. one of the men,
who had his hands on the rod just as the
exceptionally loud report, that preceded
the rain by some minutes, was heard, and
he was almost knocked over by the shock.
Mr.. Prindle has made a speciality of iron
structure work for seven years, during
which most of his time has been employed
on steeples or domes. He assisted in the
removal of the dome from the hortieuitur-
al building at the worlds fair grounds at
Chicago and its subsequent erection at the
grounds Of the Illinois fair at Springfield
lie also put up the steeple on the peniten-
tiary now in course of construction at
Mansfield, o., and here in Savannah. he
put the spires in position on Wesley Mon
umental church.

CONCERNING ALCOHOL.
SOME REASONS WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE
TAKEN INTO The SYSTEM.

SOME REASONS WHY IT SHOULD NOT BE
TAKEN INTO THE SYSTEM.
First, modern science proves that al
cohol is not helpful to any vital process.
1t is the enemy of vitality 1t over
works the organs with which 1t comes
in contact, inducing needless friction.
Second, the appetite for alcoholic
drinks is cumulative. 1t has no power
of self restriction. 1t grows by what it
feeds on. One glass calls for two, two
for three, and so on in dangerous ratio.
Third, the life of drinking man is
apt to be divided into two chapters of a
very tragical serial, in the first of which
he could have left of if he would, and
in the second he would have left of if
he could.
Fourth, the power of habit is practi-
cally omnipoteut. The power of will to
cope with it has been proved INSULT
cient. The grooves of action are quick
" worn No harm results from doing
without alcohol, but absolute good has
been proved to result from such absti-
nence.- Frances +. willard in DO Ev-

Porcupine quilts are IA necessary of life
to anglers, for they make excellent floats
for bottom fishing. Also scores of pen
holders are made from the black and white
spikes, and many kinds of ornamental
screens and fans are pieced and knitted Of
these quilts.
Something like 1000, 600 porcupine
quilts reach Britain every year, and they
chiefly come from India, also few from
Spain. The animal has to be hunted and
killed before the quilts can be obtained
and many hundreds of porcupines are
slain for this purpose every year. The
quilts are carefully extracted and dried
packed in crates and shipped away to
Europe, where they are used for all man
ner of things in the way of tackle and or
namentation. A porcupine is always
worth killing, for every spike pig" car

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
THE BEER TAX.

At a recent gathering of the republi-
an congressional representatives of the
tate of Ohio, both of the senate and the
ouse it was unanimously voted that
he proposed increased tax upon lager
eer was thoroughly Objectionable
barge, and that. in spite of the need of
bore revenue for the government, its
IMPOSITION by law should be vigorously
esisted. Ohio is the state that has
Iven us the one who now holds the
flee of president, and with him the
. olicv that his administration and, so
h. as he can color it, the republican ma
brity in congress shall pursue. Mr.
lama. the junior senator from Ohio,
. ad an exceedingly important part in
'haping the national platform of repub-
can principles, and when he and his
olitical rival, Senator Foraker, unite in
sserting that an increased tax on beer
detrimental to republican political
lccess, we imagine they are tolerably
Fel aware of what they are talking
bout. If it were a question Of imposing
heavy tax upon some of the necessities
II life, such, for example, as earthen-
are and pottery, the change would be
4oplauded and heartily defended by the
hio congressional contingent. But
hen it comes to the application of a
! Y on voluntary luxury such as beer,
hich any one can, if he pleases, avoid
.hying by simply ceasng to buy beer
he Ohio republicans are up in arms :;
bev grow indignant, and demand that
his increased tax should not be adopted
he reason for this indignation is sut-
ciently obvious. Although belongir <
the so-called party of high moral
leas. the republicans of ONO are
arnestly DESTROYS of standing well with
lie liquor dealers They believe that
ltelv they have had a large share of the
quor vote, and they are DESTROYS OF
olding that class of political support.
hey think that to increase the tax upon
Ger would cut into the profits of the
Iuor dealers, and hence, that this class
ould look upon republican candidates
it'll less favor in the future than they
aye in the past. This is Ohio politics,
IT it hardly needs to be said that it is
bitics of a very Objectionable charac-
T. 1t is to be hoped, for the credit of
If country, rs well as for the benefit of
e United States treasury, that, in re-
Dect to the tax upon beer, Messrs'
anna and Foraker will not succeed in
frying out their plan, but that Mr..
drch's recommendations of an in
