The Prohibition Question.
Sept. 13.-There was sharp debate on the
prohibition question at this weeks meeting
OF the Methodist preachers. Rev. DR.. J. M.
Buckley took a much more liberal view Of
the question than did Rev. ]. A. Hensey of
Paterson. The later opened the discussion
with a paper on 1.-The Progress of a Great
Reform in which he said that he did not
think it too much to say that twenty years
from now it will be impossible to elect any
man as chief magistrate who is not Chris
tan and a total abstainer. In his remarks
Dr. Buckley said: 1.-THE method Of discip
lining first the republican party then the
democratic party has been followed for many
years, and the result is that both parties are
rum parties to-day. The republican party Is
rum party. I voted for it and voted for
| Mckinley, but did not vote for the rum ele-
ment in the party. Prohibition will not come
about in this country until after the whole
American people are educated up to the point
of not using stimulants. To-day whisky is
being injected into the bady Of the president
of the United States with hot water and raw
eggs There are you see, people who still
think that stimulantS are valuable" Mr..
Hensey, in reply, declared that DR.. Buck
ley's address was the most "venomous at
years, and he pronounced his statements
shameless" To this DR.. Buckley responded:
'It Is a very bad state Of mind when a man
regards mere difference OF opinion as some
thing to be called venomous, and 1t is a state
OF mind which characterizes many Of those
who take part in the agitation for prohibition,
and who insist that the churches have right
to dictate how a man shall vote. For my
part, If the hcurch ever orders me to vote
for hp1
against it,
Baroness Finds SOlace ON the Stage.
New York has just discovered that another
noble woman is appearing nightly at one Of
the Broadway theaters. On the program she
is billed as Miss Maude Roosevelt. In reality
she is the Baroness Won Schwarzenstein,
whose husband was recently appointed Ger
man minister to China. The young woman
is also a cousin Of ce-President Roosevelt,
and before her marriage she was society
/ leader of New York and Washington. She
was married to Baron Won Schwarzenstein
while the latter was connected with the Ger
man embassy in Washington. The couple
lived together for only eight months, although
they have never been divorced. Since their
separation the baroness has been preparing
for the stage and when the season opened
she Joined James X. Hackett's company. She
is said to possess considerable talent
Sells Ghost and Keeps Red Devil.
"The White Ghost" the automobile terror
which has filled many a heart with awe after
dark, has been disposed Of by w. K. Van
derbilt, Jr., to r. Thomas, New York bro
ker. Since Mr.. Vanderbilt secured his new
German machine, 'the Red Devil" he has
had but litAle use for the Ghost" and it
has seldom been seen this season.
Uncle RusseIps Nomination.
No man in New York has taken the assas-
sination Of the president more to heart than
has ''Uncle" Russell Sage. The aged fnan-
cier, once himself the victim of crank, has
bulletins sent him as often as they are is
sued from Buffalo on the presidents condi
ton. The other day he said III God in
His goodness spares the life of our president
and restores him to health, he will be renom-
mated in 1904 and reelected for a third term.
I make this prediction as confidently as l did
that he would be president when he was gov
srnor of Ohio, and that he would be
elected for second term. No power can
now stop his denomination If he lives, for
