DROVE LIQUOR DEALERS FROM TOWN.
THE REV. JOHN L. CLARK TELLS WHAT THE
LEAGUE ACCOMPLISHED IN CORTLAND N. Y.

LEAGUE ACCOMPLISHED IN COFEILAND' n Y
The Rev. John l. Clark preached the morning
sermon yesterday in the First Harlem Reformed
Church, in East One-hundred-and-t -twenty-frst-s
in the course of which he defined the purposes
of the Anti-Saloon League. He said in part
If we have invited men and women to gather
to-day in the churches, the message is to forth
only to fight faithfully for this reform, but
to go and battle for other reforms 1t is some
times thought that any minister who INDUCES in
temperance talk is what is styled crank" but,
my friends, is this not the plain Gospel OF the
Lord Jesus Christ?
The Rev. Mr.. Clark then read from an Ohio
liquor journal statistics showing the power of the
league in Ohio. where. by legislation the number
OF saloons had been reduced in five years from
1900 TO 5000. Coming nearer home. he cited the
of Cortland N Y, where, through the efforts
of the league, the fourteen saloonkeepers of the
town had been obliged to give up business, after
paying fines ranging from $500 $500, and, in some
cases suffering Imprisonment of from sixty days
TO year for violation of the liquor law

Cardinal Manning did not even know
the precise year OF his birth. let alone the
exact day. Francois Sarcey. the celc-
brated French critic, never did know Ell
Their the year, month or day of his birth.
Lord Beaconsfed has somewhat added
to the uncertainty regarding his birthday
by telling Lord harrington of his having
been born in n library. Many people
contend that he meant his fathers place
in John street, Bloomsbury, and others
point to n private house in Adelphi ter
race. The exact day, however, has not
been settled. One account says Dec. 81,
another Dec. 81.
Mystery and uncertainty surrounded
the true birthday Of Arthur Wellesley,
afterwnrd Duke of Wellington. Most
people will imagine, and rightly so. that
it is difficult for a countess-his mother
was the Countess Of Morniugton-to give
birth to a son in her own castle without
knowing it, and yet neither she, her hus-
band nor others know exactly on what
day it was that the boy was born! Yet
this is what occurred on the birthday of
the famous duke, and to this day the
only really reliable statement about it is
that he was born in 1859 in Ireland
New York World.

CAMEO CARVING.
Tools and Methods Employed In the
Workmnnship

All the tools used by the cameo carver
would make but a handful. The worker
sits before wheel turned by n pedal
Tools occupy a small corner of the table
surface on which the workers hands
rest while he holds the shaped stone or
shell beneath the nccdlclike drill. The
little pointed instruments which are used
to drill resemble those employed by a
dentist, and indeed it was from the cameo
carvers kit that the dentists got many Of
their ideas when the tools now in use by
them came to be manufactured, 80 years
ago. The drills vary in thickness accord
ing to the portion of the figure or design
TO be executed. Some are as fine as the
point of n cambria needle. a small china
receptacle also stands near, filed with oil
and diamond dust, and into this the
workman frequently dips the tool during
the progress of his work.
The cameo cutters occupation is very
exacting. He can put in only few
hours work at time as usual thing,
because of the tension on his nerves. 4
quavering hand may be responsible for
the single stroke which will spoil a week S
work. He must have an eye almost like
a microscope and a very delicate touch
he must be an artist in soul and as
skilled n craftsman as is a matchmaker
he must know how to model and draw
and he must have a knowledge of chem
istry, so as to remove offending spots
The work is executed in relief on many
kinds of hard or precious stones, but es
sentially the chalcedonic variety of quart;
and on shells. The cameo cutter himself
prefers onyx because Of its dark anC
light layers, which throw out in bold re
lief a white head. say, against a blacl
background. He evolves his picture by
removing all that portion of the white
