on hot summer day he stepped into
drug store, just as you and ! would

some thing to make him feel better.
And there was alcohol in the dose,
and that one drop aroused the old ap-
petite, and he entered the first liquor
store and staid there until thoroughly
under the power of rum. He entered

Fun Il Wholesome,
Remember that the wall may be 100
feet high, and yet detection one foot
from the foundations affects the entire
structure. And II you live 100 years
and do right the last so years you may
nevertheless do something at 20 years
Of age that will damage all your earth
ly existence. All you who have built
houses for yourselves or for others, am
| not right in saying to these young
men, you cannot build a wall 80 high
as to be independent Of the character
Of its foundation? "A man before 80
years Of age may commit enough sin
to last MIN lifetime. Now, John, or
George, or Henry, or whatever be your
Christian name or surname, say here
and now: mo wild oats for me, no
cigars or cigarettes for me, no wine or
beer for me, no nasty stories for me,
no Sunday sprees for me. l am going
to start right and keep on right. God
help me. for l am very weak. From
the throne of eternal righteousness let
down to me the principles by which
I can be guided in building everything
from foundation to capstone. Lord
God, by the wounded hand of Christ.

But" you say, you shut us young
folks out from all fun" Oh, no!

traordinary parental example and in

had fun illimitable. though l never
swore one oath and never gambled for
SO much as the value of pin. and
never saw the inside OF haunt Of sin
save as when many years ago, with
commissioner OF police and a detective
and two elders of my church, explor-
ed New York and Brooklyn by mid
night, not out Of curiosity. but that
might in pulpit discourse set before
the people the poverty and the hor-
rors of underground city life. Yet.
though l was never intoxicated for an

much fun that don't believe there is
man on the planet at the present

sAvANNAH's NEW MOVE.
The Industrial Associations Purpose
Commended

The Savannah editor of Jewish Senti-
ment has the following in the last issue
of Sentiment regarding an industrial
movement in Savannah:
while the strength of a city or COM
munity may depend entirely upon the size
of its population, the prosperity and ma
terial welfare of the city rests upon the
activity of the populace. Investigate the
history and growth of any Furnishing
town, and you will find that its prosperity
increased in the same ratio as did the
non-producer decrease. In our beautiful
city we lack that one essential feature,
the producer. Not because of Indifference
or Incidence of our population, but be-
cause of absence of sufficient medium
through which to utilize their faculties.
We lack the producer, because we have
nothing to produce. In spite of the great
mercantile enterprises transacted in the
city, but an infnitesimal proportion of
our articles of commerce are produced
here. In consequence of this fact, those
people who manufacture the article we
consume reap the greater benefit of our
labor. Why should industries not -four
ish in our city? We have space ample,
power sufficient, facilities of every kind.
with the expanse of the ocean on one
hand and diverging lines of railroads on
the other, our goods could be distributed
over the entire country at practicable
rates. The question of labor is easy
one in this section of the country, as
compared with the complications of
unions in manufacturing cities of the
North and East for a population that is
at present out of employment and ignor-
ant of trade, would within a reasonable
time, be transformed into laboring class,
a producing element that would prove a
benefit to any city.
1.-The movement of the Savannah Indus
trial Association has the right object in
view, and we can but trust that its prog
ress will inspire sufficient interest and as
sistance that it's end may be accomplish
cd With a few industries inaugurated
in this city, a stimulating effect would
be manifest in every line of trade. We
would be contributing to our own enter
prise instead of consuming the product
of others only, and when you have a
population that produces as well as con-
sunes, you have the keynote to healthy
and prosperous community.
why not give our boys technical edu-
cation? We would not decry the classics
or the pursuit of any study that makes
life beautiful but let our boys learn the
art and method by which our growing
list of requirements is supplied. Even
in our Southern towns, where manufac-
turing enterprises have implanted them
selves, we invariably find that 1t is the
Northern or Eastern man, who, through
his knowledge of technique, handles the
throttle that governs the entire organiza-
ticn while II is our Southern man VINO
wears the overalls and carries the dinner
pail"

From the New York Press.


Lieut.. Victor Blue is not only one of
the brave men of our navy, but one of the
handsomest men of our country. He is as

ship the other day that nearly every
article that had been intimately associ-
parcel consisted of several young ladies
from the North and South. One TOOK
away the glass in which he proposed a
toast to "Our American girl-God bless
her" Another was perfectly willing to
take his wife, and a third said she would
gladly take the ship If she could tote it,
Both of these compromised on articles of
less value.
Lieut. Blue has been highly compll-
mented by Rear Admiral Kempff, who is
in command of our Pacific squadron. The
Admiral is from Illinois. and Blue is from
South Carolina. Their acquaintance is
slight, but when Kempff wanted a flag
lieutenant the other day he asked Blue If
he would accept the billet and requested
the navy department to make the ap-
pointment. Blue sails from San Francis
co on March 81 for Manila. Further than
this, the Admiral wanted a secretary, and
left 1t TO Blue to choose a capable man.
The lieutenant selected a brilliant young
Tennesseean, Junior Lieutenant Mclean,
who has been ordered TO join the Admiral
forthwith. The Newark probably Will be

BUSINESS MEN WON THE GAME.
Defeated the Reds at Basket Rail- 1G
to 10.

One Of the cleanest, most evenly match
cd. and best all-round basket ball games
of the season was Played at the Y. NJ. C.
A. Hall last night, between the Reds and
the Business Men.
In the present series of games, since the
reorganization of the teams, the Reds up
to last night had not lost single game.
and as the Business Men were considered
weaker than the Blues, whom the Reds
had defeated quite easily last week, both
they and their friends had little doubt
that they would win out in last night
game with little if any difficulty; and,
indeed, after the first half, in which they
made 8 points to their opponents 2, it
seemed that this confidence had been
justified and they would add another
game to their list of victories.
In the second half Blake of the Bust
ness Men, by some of the hardest and
most brilliant playing that has been seen
in any of the games, scored IA points for
his team, which, with the addition of a
goal scored by Gray in the first half, gave
the game to the Business Men by the score
of 16 to 10.
The play was fast from the beginning
of the game and the passing and general
team work on both sides was exception
ally good.
The lineup of the teams was as fol-
lows:
Reds. Business Men.
Roberds ........... center. ............ Blake
Courvoisier fright forward........ Gray
Rotereau ........left forward. ........ Croft
Carellas .........left guard. ........... Sweat
Hunt right guard. Elton, j.
