I saw in some paper an account OF
church in Boston In which, 1t is said, there
were a great many plain people. The next
week the trustees Of that church came out

conditioned people that went there" Then
laughed outright; and when I laugh, |

The talk is, whether Protestant churches

out ahead. tell you, Protestants, this
truth plainly: that until your churches are
Us free rs are the Roman Catholic cathe-

The pres,dent,s War Map.

Not many of the Presidents visitors
are admitted to the war room. Those
who are thus favored see something
novel in the way of war planning. A
very large map has been prepared and
mounted with wooden back. 1t
shows the Atlantic Ocean with the
coasts of both sides and the islands
between. The map covers that part
of the ocean from the banks OF New
foundland to the mouth of the ANA
zon. When the measurements are
given some idea can be formed OF the
scale. The length of the map is per-
haps eighteen feet and the width is
ten feet. Little paper ships have been
cut with the names plainly printed.
These ships, representing the two
navies, are fastened in their places on
the map with pins, and are moved
from day to day to correspond with
the movements of the ships. The
President, the Secretaries of War and
the Navy, Lieutenant-Ge General Scho-
field and members of the War Council
.nd Strategy Board have before them
The exact positions of the ,navies up to
ihe latest information as they discuss
the plans from day to day. The
whole game of war, so far as the At
lantic is concerned, with the locations
Of the pawns, is before them.-St.

A TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

Grog to the Bluejackets in Our Navy
Was Discontinued.
All the worlds tavern,
And all the men and women merely drink.
They have their cocktails and their whisky
And one man In his time drinks many
quarts,
His course being seven stages. At first
clear head,
Sober and steadfast in all good resolves;
And then the morning bitters, with cherry
And slice of mellow pine. creeping like
snail
Unwillingly to work. And then the tippler,
Sneaking back again, with a woful story
About pains internally. Then topper,
Full OF strange oaths and loaded to the
Jealous in plotting, sodden, and quick to
imbibe,
Seeking the bubbling repetition
Even at the bottles mouth. And then the
drunkard,
In grumbling belly with poor liquor lined,
With eyes bleary and beard for days uncut,
Full of rash words and prone to quarrel
ing;
And 80 he plays his part. The sixth stage
shifts
Into the grim and ragged roustabout,
With carbuncles on nose and patch on
head,
His shrunken face unshaved, while bar to
bar
He beats his way; and his once manly
voice,
Unhinged by sloth and thirst colossal,
pleads
And whimpers for drink. Last scene Of
all,
That ends this sad and shameful history,
Is beastly sottishness and foul oblivion
Sans rum, sans beer, sans pipe, sans every
thing.

Testimony of a Governor.

Governor Wolcott to the police commits
sioners of Boston regarding the number of
drinking places, the following significant
passage occurs: II have for years felt
that the number Of saloons in the immedi-

railroad stations is excessive, and tends to
make the approaches thereto dfsagreeable
