The illustrated lectures at Pancoast
last week by Rev. Joseph Kluker, un-
der the auspices of the Pancoast L. T.
L.. were splendid lectures. The scenes
are of the finest order. The scene of
the poor victim of intemperance from
his first step to his last in death, should
not soon be forgotten. The second
nights lecture, a journey to. Cuba, was
as real as life, even to the beautiful
battleship Maine laying so peacefully
on the waters under the starry heavens
when the fatal death summons came.
Rev. Kluker is fine orator. and is Civ
ing his best gifts to the temperance re-
form. He should meet hearty God
speed from all christian people. ~
