Bottles Versus Books.

A few weeks ago Mr.. Joshua T..
Baily, the president of the National
Temperance Society, ordered library
OF 100 books to be sent to the soldiers
barracks at st. Augustine, Fla, to be
put in the large room that had form
erly been used as canteen, but when
congress passed the law, was closed,
and had been fitted up for a library
and reading room. Now Mr.. Baily
has received word from st. Augustine
that as Mr.. Alger has ordered the can
teen to be opened, the books must go
out to make room for the bottles!!!

True to His Calling.

DR.. J. F. Berry, editor of The Ep-
worth Herald, organ of the Epworth
Leagues of the NJ e. church, is an i'm
pIaeable foe of the saloon. He believes
that the church should vote the saloon
out of existence. Last winter he got
out special temperance edition of his
paper. The publishers sold 5000
copies, and it was valuable in educat-
ing the Methodist young people for
Prohibition. Some Of the old-party
subscribers didn't like it, and 124-12
Of them preachers savage let

reelection at the general conference

he is editor, the paper will assault the
