An OLD PLEDGE.

A corr espondent of the National
Magazine sends it the following pledge
take from an old scrap book:
Being satisfied from observation and
experience, as well as from medical
testimony, that ardent spirits, and
drink, is not only needless, but hurt
full, and that the entire disuse of it
would promote the health, the virtue
and the happiness of the community,
we hereby express our conviction,
that should the people of the United
States, and especially the young men,
discountenance the use of it, they
would not only promote their personal
benefit, but the good of our country
ard the world.

ANDREW JACKSON,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

VaseIine Pancakes.

Caesars creek, on the Florida coast,
was named after famous old pirate
called Black Caesar, whose profession
added to the risks of marine insurance
After the pirates the Florida wreckers
came, of whom FL. A. Willoughby, in
his ''Across the Everglades, tells this
story:
A large steamer was stranded on the
reef not far from Cape Florida. No soon
er had she struck than the news spread
rapidly along the shore. The people for
90 miles around gathered on the beach
opposite the stranded steamer. Among
them were number Of Indians from
the Everglades who CHANGED to be down
there and knew what ''wreck" meant
to the wreckers.
The steamer, loaded with an assorted
cargo, began to break up, and barrels,
cases and boxes drifted gradually ashore.
There were casks of wine, boxes of soap,
cases of bottles of wine aid iron and a
hundred other articles. The Indians
seized upon the wine and soon were in
condition that allowed the white men
to secure the more valuable prizes.
The squaws struck a bonanza in a
case of vaseline. They thought it new
variety of the white mans frying fat
and, starting fire, fried pancakes in it.

Sec. Gage has been offered salary
in the neighborhood of the one that
tempted Speaker Reed out of public
life, to become president of one of
New York's big banks, but it is not
likely that he will accept. He made
a heavy financial sacrifice when he
became secretary of the treasury, and
viii probably continue in that office
until March 4th, 1901, if not longer.
There is little doubt that if he desires
to remain in that position, during

GIVE WILL NEVER MARRY
YOUNG MEN WHO
DRINK. -

We do hereby severally and collectively
agree never to marry young men who drink.
They must sign the pledge before they ask
us for our hands.-Agreenleret made 6u the
young a0om'en of Greenport, L. l.
This platform has been adopted by
the girls of the little Long Island
town, and panic prevails among the
young men. They have dropped their
drinking ways and they are all eating
cloves. The saloon keepers see nothing
but ruin in sight, have appealed to the
girls to change their minds, but they
declare they will not.
The Girl Trust for the Suppression
of Drunkards was organized at the
home of Mrs. S. B. Horton, in First
Street. A total abstinence society was
formed, and then the members an
nounced that they agreed to boycott
drinkers matrimonially. Mrs. Cora E.
Seeberry, the State secretary of the
woman's work department. of the
Women's Christian Temperance I'm
ion, made sreech paving the way to
this stand. Mrs. Horton said that the
only pledge, absolutely Iequired from
the members was that of total absti
hence, the other agreement being op
tional.
"Our object" she added, "is to
form an educational society, with
special reference to the influence of
liquor on young men and women. All
the members, in addition to their
liquor pledge, adopt a standard of
personal purity"
The young men of Greenport, it is
said, are not especially bibulous, but
more of their earnings go in liquor
than the Girl Trust thinks right. A
study will be made of the results of al
choholic marriages, and lectures will
be given showing the dreadful endings
of homes of which the husband is
drinking man.
The youth of Greenport fear they
are to be watched and investigated.
They talk of forming a counter or
ganization to boycott girls who spend
more than $50 year on dress. They
are also mean enough to say that
there are young women in town SO
aggre ssively homely that they cannot
afford to be particular, but will be
glad to marry anything that comes
along. They also say that hereafter
they are going to Southold, Peconic,
Cutchogue and Mattituck for their
wives, because no restrictions as to
liquor are made by the girls of those
places. In reply the girls declare they
will go to Sag Harbor for their hus-
famous for their love of cold water

AGAIN ST EXPANSION.
Senator Bacon Speaks in Support of
 His Resolution.

Washington, January 18.-The feature of tooays session of the senate was a speech delivered by MT. Bacon (dem.) of Georgia in support of his resolution declaring that the United States would not assume sover- eighty over the Philippine islands. MT. Ba- con Is one of the orators of the senate, and as he gave himself free rein, not conl.ning himself to notes, he spoke strongly and ef- fectively. His peroration. in which he pict- ured the horrors of some of England's methods of controlling her colonial sub- jects was a beautiful and forceful bit of word painting.
 Following MT. Bacon's speech, the Nica- ragua canal bill was taken up and remained under discussion until o'clock. Amend ment after amendment was voted down and until almost the last minute it seemed like ly that vote on the measure would be reached this evening; but just a final vote was about to be called for MT. Allison (rep.) of Iowa exploded a bomb under the bill by offering an amendment providing that the secretary of the treasury should issue bonds to raise money with which to construct the canal.
 The friends of the measure then consented to an adjournment.

MERGER THINKS
 DREYFUS GUILTY
Esterhazy Did Not Write the
 Famous Bordereau.
PRESIDENT CASIMlR-PERlER
Alleged to Have Resigned on Account of the Dreyfus Affair-The Artil- lery Captain Was Too Fond
 of a Certain Woman.

Paris, January lS.-The Soir today pub- cier, who was minister for war at the time of the condemning of Dreyfu5.
 General Mercer reiterates his former statements and reasserts that the berdeIeau was certainly the work of Dreyfus and not of Esterhazy, who was not aware of its existence until long subsequent to the trial"
 Under the plea of professional secrecy he declined to explain how the war office obtained the bordereau. The secret dossier, he said, consisted of war ministry docu- ments fully proving the inferences deduced from the bordereau. The suggestion that it contained letters from a foreign sover- eign he characterized as "a pure invention," as was also he declared, the statement that M. Casimir-Perier resigned the presidency of the republic on account of the Dreyfus affair.
 Regarding the motives that prompted Dreyfus to commit the treason imputed, General Mercier said:
 "Dreyfus was too fond of the society of women of a certain class Had it not been for his reputation in this respect he would have left the military college among the first three of his class, but owing to his known immoral proclivities he was placed eleventh. l think he resented this and tnaa his treason was probably an act of re- venge
 "Dreyfus was also in the habit of talking unpatriotically. A general was once obliged to censure him for saying that the ffeicas- flanders preferred to belong to Germany, as they were better treated, Dreytus adding that he quite agreed with them."

St. Louis, January 1s.-The case of the Mississippi Valley Trust company vs the Sportman's Park and Club, to decide the ownership of the National league baseball franchise, under which the St. Louis Browns play has been on trial in Judge Spencer's branch of the circuit court for several weeks, came to an end today with the testimony of Chris Von der Ahe. Judge Spencer ordered counsel to file briefs by Friday noon and announced that he would render his decision by Monday next. Chris Won der Ahe, because of whose illness tho case was postponed from last week until to-day, was on the stand.
 The cross examination showed that the Sportsman's park and club. the St. Louis Baseball association and Chris Von der Ahe were three in one, transacting only one business. Toward the end Chris grew very cross and short in his answers.

New York, January 1S.-Commercial Ad- vertser's London financial cablegram:
 Business on the markets here was re- duced today but the tone was hard on the confident expectation that the bank rate will be reduced tomorrow to per cent. Americans were dull but steady on realiza- tions, except in Central Pacifics, which were again bought on rumors that the re- organization plan is ready. New York came strong, causing a rally and the close was at the best, especially in Atchison and Wabash issues. The latter's rise sug- 'gests the comment that the boom has reached the end of the alphabet. London enthusiasm is much diminished.
