 From great Mason. Gen. Albert Pike. of Washington D. C.: The waltz is only fit for houses of prosti- tuition, and I have never been able to understand how any father could permit his daughter or any husband his wife to waltz with other men
 But now to prove that more are going to hell from the ballroom than the saloon. l think that anyone will agree with me that where dancing de bauches one woman it debauches at least three men, for the average man cannot take woman in low neck and short sleeves in his arms without it arousing his baser nature. Of the abandoned. fallen women of Amer ica. how many of them were blighted through the dance? Here are the es- inmates: Catholic bishop of New York. 95 per cent; chief of police of 
 Floris. of San Francisco. 75 per cent Prof. Faulkner. the noted dancing master of Los Angeles. S11h per cent: the Christian commission of St. Louis, 60 per cent. There are by the W. c. T. U. report. 500.000 fallen women in America. Take the lowest estimate, 50 per cent, through danc- ing That gives 100000. But the av- craze life of a fallen woman is five years; that makes 60,o00 women alone going to hell every year in America from the ballroom But add three times that many men who are led thereby to lives of secret sin and you have 240,000 against 100000 drinkers year. from the saloon. But cut down the estimate on men to the number of women; that gives 100000. still 10000 yearly more than the saloon. But you say you dance innocently.

1.-THE DANCE OF DEATH"
Evangelist Martin Gives Ball Room Another
 Turning Over.

Evangelist Martin finished his bible reading last night on the subject of dancing From Romans 14:21, "It is good neither to eat flesh, nor drink wine, nor anything whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak he showed that anything that was liable to lead others astray, though we ourselves can engage in it innocently, for the sake of others. we ought to let it alone. He said
 II have no sympathy whatever for the statement sometimes made that no decent woman dances. and that every man who dances is a libertine at heart: for the statement is not true. All l say is that dancing does lead many people astray, and for that reason should be discountenanced. It is not my opinion only for that would amount to but little but all denominations are against it. Listen to the testimony:
 Prebyterian-B M Palmer, of New Orleans. and they have no nobler man-'Promiscuous dancing between the sexes is essentially volumptious and demoralizing of the waltz he says. "A species of dance l do not hesitate thus publicly to de- nounce as Yndisguisedly licentious.'
