The Liquor Traffic.

A good sized audience gathered at
the opera house last night to hear the
lecture on "The Liquor Traffic." de-
livered by Clarence J. Ferguson, Esq. {,
former city grand juror in Burling-
ton. The Rev. E. NJ. Fuller gave a
vocal solo, as did Miss Phillips, after
which Rev. Eflie X. NJ. Jones led in
prayer. The speaker was introduced
by Rev. A. E Atwater. Mr.. Fergu-
son spoke very feelingly and convinc-
ingly, and that the audience was in
full accord with the sentiments he ex-
pressed, was shown by the warm ap-
plause when he finished. While Ivan
Perry rendered clarinet selection the
ushers took up collection to help de-
fray the expense of the monthly lec-
lures it is the intention to hold. The
audience arose and joined in singing
the doxology, after which the benedic-
tion was pronounced by the Rev. Etfie
X. M. Jones.

London, Jan. 81, noon. - Queen
slightly rallied; no failing strength.
Cowes, Jan. II, 5.15 a. m.-The
members of the royal family were as
sembled in the Queens bed chamber
at 3 o'clock, and are still gathered in
a room adjoining the Queens bed
chamber. Her Majesty is unconscious
and the end is expected at any mo.
ment.
At 1915 a. M, it was announced
that a collapse, or what the physicians
feared was 4 collapse, occurred uneX-
pectedly about 10 clock last evening.
Arrangements were hurridly made to
provide special telephone facilities.
Details are not obtainable at this
hour, but it is asserted that Her Maj
esty's condition is chiefly due to Sc
we're sinking spell and an increase of
the paralytic symptoms.
1t is understood that the physicians
have resorted to artificial methods to
prolong life such as are used only in
cases of persons in extremiS.
The Associated Press learns that
the paralysis is chiefly evident in the
face, one side Of which appears to have
lost all nerve and muscular power.
At six O'Clock. last evening the malady
had not reached the vital organs, al
though it had naturally caused an al
most total loss Of the power of speech.
What was so much feared was that
the brain might be attacked.
Keenly sensitive of her affliction and
appearance, the Queen has absolutely
refused to see any one but her nurses
and doctors, and it is understood that
the Prince Of Wales is the only excep-
tion to this rule, and that his inter.
view with the Queen lasted but few
moments. Hence the exact nature Of
the malady is known only to very
few, and 1t is the royal wish that the
public should not be informed Of the
existence of paralysis.
Arrangements have been made
with local undertaken to have all
the preliminaries 20 burial ready in
case of an emergency.
London, Jan. 2l.-Bulletins issued
by physicians at IL O'Clock indicate
that they fear death may come sudden
ly, as a result of pressure Of blood
clots on the brain. This report gives
strength to the report that her Maj
esty suffered stroke Of apoplexy.
