CHEsTER'S LOSS Is WINEsBOR0's
GAIN.

Dr. Samuel Lindsay has entWlned
himself around our hearts since his
childhood, and we are loath to give
him up. We consider him one Of otsr
best going men. He graduated at the
Bellevue Hospital Medical College OF
Of New York and located here about
a year rgo. He has made rapid strides
in his profession both as a practitioner
and surgeon. He soon built up quite
good practice here. Chester's loss
is certainly Winnsboro's gain. Winns.
boro may congratulate herself on get
ting one of Cbester's most enterpris-
inG sons.
DR.. Lindsay is not only doctor,
but Ee is a christian aud gentleman in
every sense OF the word. He is as
gentle and sympathetic as a woman
in the sick room. I understand Rev.
c. E. Mcdonald met him at 1.-THE train
and took him in charge. Mr.. McDon.
aid is doing a good work in the COM
munity by giving his influence and
support 10 such a yound man as DR..
Lindsay. He is not only doing DR..
Lindsay good, but he is advancing bis
Masters cause.
May the Lord bless Dr.. Lindsay in
hisxadopted home and may he soon
build up fine practice is the sincere
wish Of many of bis frionds.

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
Rev. Mr.. Meeser Speaks on the Prohibit
ton That Prohibits.

At the First Baptist Church the pas
tor, Rev. S. B. Meeser, delivered a
thoughtful address appropriate to tenn
perance Sunday, taking for his sub
ject, 1.-THE prohibition that prohibits. :"
The speaker stated in opening that he
had been announced to speak upon 1.-THE
gates of HE'LL" but that was a too lurid
subject for the occasion. According to
the pastors thought, the prohibition
that prohibits is the prohibition which
every man imposes upon himself. Self
imposed prohibition is not alone, for
there are other forces cooperating with
personal and individual abstinence. The
words of the apostle, that some are ever
learning but never coming to the knowl-
edge of the truth, apply to the temper
ance question; some are learning the
evils of the liquor habit, but are never
coming to the full knowledge of it. To-
tai abstinence is among the possibili-
ties, and so l have come to the conclu-
sion that each man should learn for
himself. That experience is the best
teacher is an old saying; far truer is
1t that experience is the most effective
teacher. But, after experience in the
drink habit, it may be too late to re-
claim a debauched nature. Experience
is effective, because it bruises us, be-
cause it often destroys us.
Young men should be trained in the
horror of drink and the drink habit. 1t
Is criminal for a man to let his sons
learn by experience the evils of the liq-
uor habit. Too often is the experience
gained after the body has become de-
bauched and beyond redemption. Better
than personal experience is the example
and experience Of others.
At this point Mr.. Meeser spoke of
the society of today, and startled his
congregation by saying that there is ris-
ing up among us a great body of young
people who are in active training for
the lives of drunkards and Of shame
Although no man is the better for know
ing of the presence of sin, yet this had
come to his own observation and knowl-
edge from social events of regular oc-
currence in the city of Worcester. There
is the spectacle of the Princeton Inn,
with similar conditions, at Yale, and re-
Gently at a gathering of the alumni of
one of our own Massachusetts colleges,
bottle of champagne was sent with a
laugh and a cheer to another body of
alumni. The public seeks to excuse
rather than protest.
We find facts and statistics. DR..
Hodge of Clark University, which is not
school in temperance, has given us
the result of experiments with alcohol
upon frogs and toads. Another fact is
the greater mortality among the drink
ers. Another fact is that drink lessons
the economic value of man, his indi-
vidual productive capacity. It lessons
his value socially, morally and physical

DEATH OF CHARLES H. RICE.
An Old Resident, for Many Years Engage d
in the Restaurant Business.

Charles H. Rice, aged SO years, died
Sunday at the home of Mrs. F. NJ.
Greene, 4 Allen street. Mr.. Rice, al
though having lived considerably be-
yond the allotted three-score years and
ten, had been in fairly good health un-
tn short time before his death, and
was often seen upon the street.
He had passed the greater portion OF
his life in this city, and about 80 years
ago was actively engaged in the restau-
rant business here. In 1865 in com
pany with George L. Bliss, he purchased
Mr.. Lilley's interest in the firm of Taft
& Llley, then doing a restaurant bust
ness on Main street, near where Putnam
& Thurston are now located The new
firm was known as Taft, Bliss & Rice,
and continued in existence until about
1873, when Mr.. Bliss withdrew. Mr..
Rice retired shortly afterward For the
past Is years Mr. Rice has not been in
any permanent occupation, but had been
employed in several places.
Mr.. Rice enjoyed the acquaintance OF
a large circle of friends through his
long residence here. and by them he
was uniformly loved and respected.

which candor and Christian charity
make upon us to rid ourselves of pre-
Judlce and bitterness and to realize that
we face very big and difficult ques-
ton. This question had many phases
upon which there was room for honest
differences Of opinion and about which
many things must be learned by disin-
terested experiment. To illustrate this
point Rev. Mr.. Chapman said that If one
man believed the Norwegian system to
be worthy trial, 1t was not likely to
lessen his belief in it any because a
neighbor, who might favor different
scheme, would call him man of Belial
and shield Of the devil
One thing underlies all others and
comes home to us as individuals. 1t was
the need Of personal righteousness in the
whole matter. The use Of intoxicating
drink as a beverage was not a thing
that any one of us could afford to deal
with lightly. AS things are at present,
great as the whole question is subtle as
the temptation of this particular ap-
petite has proved ITSELF lamentable as
the results Of the drinking habit are
showing themselves to be, especially
among men and women of the American
temperament, 1t behooves us as Chris
tian men and good citizens to throw all
the influence we possess against it. For
each one If we want to be help rather
than a hindrance to the salvation Of
men from the grasp of an evil habit,
there ought to be one rule and that is
total abstinence.
Regarding temperance and no-license
in the city of Worcester, the preacher,
in the course Of his address, said For
myself, I believe that Worcester Is dis
tinctly better off when the people de
eide that its saloons must be closed.
believe in no-license for this city at the
same time that believe that the license
commissioners have honestly striven to
make the best of bad business. 1t is
quite true that vote for no-license does
not keep the drinking man absolutely
from drinking, but it does very greatly
diminish the volume of drinking, es-
pecially among boys and young men. 1t
removes an overpowering temptation
from those who are struggling against
appetite.
''No-license in Worcester shuts a
great many schools of vice, one of whose
most vicious characteristics is that they
are permitted to advertise themselves.
1 have never known any one who was
trying to help the poor to do the best
for themselves and who was anxious for
the growth of good character among the
boys and girls of the less favored por-
lions of the city, who did not feel sure
that for Worcester the unconditional
restriction Of the saloon, which we call
no-license, was the best thing"

FOR TEMPE GRANGE.
Crusade Against License Begun
Generally in the Churches.
Stormy Weather lnterfered Somewhat
With the Attendance But Not With
the Enthusiasm of the
Preachers.

The plan for steady and determined
crusade against the sale of liquor in
Worcester, outlined by the Ministerial
League, was formally begun Sunday In
the various churches of the city. The
work in future will not be to make an
effort just previous to election, but to
keep the evils of the liquor traffic con-
stantly before the people. This is in line
with the plan set forth at the big En-
deavor mass meeting in Mechanics Hail.
which was endorsed by the Ministerial
League. The attendance, as rule, was
not large, owing to the stormy weather,
but the interest was good. The sermons
called for steady, earnest, continual ag-
gressive work on educational lines.

LABOR HEADQUARTERS.
Trade Unions Seeking Hall for Their
Exclusive Use.

There was a convention of delegates
from the various labor unions in the city,
Sunday afternoon. in the hall GA South
bridge street for the purpose OF arranging
for permanent headquarters, where the
various labor organizations may hold their
meetings.
There was not a full attendance of dele
gates, but those who did attend were of
one mind, that it was for the interest of
the different unions to combine on some
location for labor headquarters where
aside from meeting place, the men could
congregate when not employed and pass
the time in reading or social chat.
The fact was brought out that at the
present time the unions are meeting In
various halls about town, with no priyi-
leges in connection with their meeting
places that would be enjoyed if they had
a hall that was devoted exclusively to
their own use. Many of the unions meet
at the Stationary Engineers Hall, 10 Pearl
street, but much dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed in these quarters.
In view of the fact that all the socie-
ties were not represented, 1t was voted to
appoint two committees of five each one
to investigate the matter of hall and the
other to call on the various unions on
their meeting nights and endeavor to get a
full list of delegates to an adjourned meet
ing to be held at Ga Southbridge street,
Feb. 6.
The committee on hail was made up of
Messrs. Jefferson. Pierce. Foley, Gilchrlst
and Nault. On notifying the different
unions, Messrs. Mccain, Pierce Maher,
Foley. Keyes and Jefferson.

CATTLE INSPECTION.
Inspector Ellsworth Turns in an Account
of His Work During the Year.

Mayor Rufus B. Dodge has received
from Inspector ]. w. Ellsworth, one of
the board of meat and cattle inspectors of
this city, a typewriter report, in which
Inspector Ellsworth passes over in review
his work during the past twelve months.
1t is the first time that any report of
such a nature has been filed at the
mayors office. The inspectors do not be-
lieve that under the present rules they
are obliged to do this, but Inspector Els
worth has made his as mark of courtesy.
The report Will undoubtedly be sent down
by the mayor to the city council at its
meeting this evening.
The report does not cover the work Of
the entire board, but simply narrates that
performed by Inspector Ellsworth. None
of the other inspectors has prepared any
statement for the city council, and 1t is
not known whether they contemplate so
doing. Inspector Ellsworth's report con-
fines itself solely to what he has done in
his own district of the city.
Its substance will not be made public
until this evenings session OF the city
council. 1t is understood however, that
it will show that Inspector Ellsworth has
quarantined during the year SIS animals
as being suspicious, and that of that num-
Der 81 reacted to the tuberculin test, and
were accordingly killed.
