Wheeler of Maine.
The Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal
Church South was crowded at 7:3O o'clock
last night when the second of the series
Of temperance revival meetings held under
the auspices Of the Anti-Salocn League
was called to order by President James l.
Ewin, Of the local branch. For half an
hour the congregation was entertained
with vocal selections by Mr.. and Mr2. {.
c. Beveridge Of Nebraska, VINO are we'll
known throughout tie country as temper
ance campaign singers. The songs render
ed were for the most part plantation melo-
dies to which appropriate words have been
adopted
AT the conclusion Of the song service
Rev. A. J. Wheeler, OF Maine, delivered the
second OF his lectures on temperance. His
subject was The Relation of the Church
to the AntiSaloon League. Mr.. Wheeler
is a forceful speaker and illustrates his
lectures with numerous anecdotes. He
said last night that the only way for the
! Anti-Saloon League 10 become a success
was to secure the cooperation Of the va
riOus ministers, and through them the
sanction and help Of the Church and the
Church influence THE Church reaches the

Faith is the rock on which religion of
every sect was founded. and faith is neces-
sary for the proper and fruitful outcome
Of any reform movement
The crusade against the saloon is not
in the nature OF a reform as the word is
used in the present age, hut is an estao-

may be regarded as the greatest curse Of

! League. the Church must help: it is its
duty TO help. the speaker thought. and that
/ help must be as generously and as de-
voutIy rendered as to any of the religious
1 organizations. Mr.. Wheeler spoke FOR an
hour on the manner in which the church
could help the people in their work and
closed with the advice 10 every member
OF the league to have faith and pray, and
the saloon would be sure to go.
At the conclusion Of the minister's $ ad-

more songs and the meeting was adjourned

AGAINST THE DRUGGISTS
A Verdict of Guilty in the First of
the Malt Extract Cases.
The Defendants Introduce Physicians
Who Testify as to the Character
OF the Preparation-A Large Per-
centnge of Alcohol Said to Have
Been FOund by Chemist Hird.

Ladder Mackall and Quentin Mackall, OF
the firm OF Mackal Brothers, druggists,
were given a jury trial before Judge kim
ball yesterday afternoon in the Police
Court. The charge was selling liquor with
out license The specific charge against
the defendant was selling bottle of malt
extract, which, according to the analysis Of
Prof. Hird the District Chemist, contained
the same amount of alcohol as beer.
The defendants were represented by At
torney William c. Wells. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Pugh conducted the prose
cution. Prof Hird testified as TO the an
aIysis of the extract, and the process used
in its manufacture He said that the only
difference between malt extract and ordi-
nary beer, is that fermentation is not car
ried so far in the extract.
DR.. J. W. BOvee. in his testimony for the
defence. said that ne had prescribed the
malt extract for medicinal purposes, but
had never heard of its being used as a
beverage DR.. Robert y. Harper testified
that the malt extract in question contained
the largest amount of solids and the small
est percentage of alcohol. He stated that
the alcohol contained in the extract is nee
essary to the preservation of the nutrition
in the malt, and prevents a second fermen-
tation or sourng.
Several physicians testified to the use OF
the extract and its ingredients They all
considered it as purely a medicine that
could not be called a beverage.
Mr. Pugh, in summing up, read the law
to the jury and said that the extract clearly
came under the head OF fermented liquors
Mr. Wells. counsel for the defence, said
that every proprietary medicine contained
alcohol and if the defendant was found
guilty, every drug store in the city would
have to close its doors. as cologne. ia
maica ginger, preparations OF beef. wine
and iron. and many other Well known ar
ticIes were sold daily without a prescrip-
ton.
In Judge Kimball's charge to the jury
he said there was only one question Of fact
was the article sold included I'm the law
which prohibits the sale OF fermeuted Ii
quors without a license or a prescription
from a reputable physician? The jury re-
tired and in fifteen minutes brought in
a verdict Of guilty.
A motion for a new trial was asked and
the defendants personal bonds taken until
the case is again called.
Some time ago cases were made against
several druggists doing business in the
northeastern section OF the city for selling
malt extract The case disposed of yes

COLONEL sABIN's LECTURE.
Local Physicians Exhorted 10 Join
the Christian Science Ranks.

Local Ply stcians EXhOrted TO Join
the Christian Science Ranks.
Seven female believers, three physicians,
two doubters, and one newspaper man,
gathered together in Confederate Veterans
Hall. Eleventh and E Streets northwest
last night in response to an invitation is
sued by Col 0. c. Sabin, a local Christian
Science healer who had requested that
the medical fraternity Of the District as
semble upon this occasion and be con-
verted into "healers" or convinced that
medicine and all connected with it was
foolishness and an abomination. The size
of the audience did not seem to distract
the hopes Of the lecturer, as he delivered
his address and repeatedly honored the
assembly by referring to it as 'the ply
sicians before me-"
Colonel Sabin began his campaign against
medicine and surgery with a long recital
of the ills which had befalleu him prior
to his becoming a healer" He had suf-
fered like unto a book OF testimonials for
a patent medicine. and had been healed
without recourse to any of the aforesaid
medicines. Paralysis. rheumatism head
aches, and lack OF faith were only a few
of the ailments other "healers" had cured
and. according to the speakers own words,
he had not done a stroke of work for
nearly thirty years
After much beating of his breast and
after many fruitless efforts to induce those
in the audience TO feel his muscles, Colonel
Sabin related many wonderful cures effect
ed by himself and closed his argument
with the statement that distance was moth
ing and that he could heal a man in Lon
don by sitting down upon the platform in
Washington and giving him treatment. At
this point the three physicians and the
newspaper man left the hall and the re-
mainder of the audience were presumably
happy until 1890 when the address ended
