The Rev. Egbert ". Smith, D. g.. one
of the best known Presbyterian ministers
in the State, and pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of Greensboro, at his cwn
instance, in 1895, instituted an investiga-
ton into the merits CT the Kelley treat
ment as evidenced in the graduates of
the Kelley Institute, located at Gree MS
boro, N. c., and which lives under his inn
mediate observation. In the Daily Record
of January 26, 1895, he gives the follow
ing statement to the public over his cwn
signature. He says:
THE whole number of alcoholic pa
tents from Guilford county that have
been treated in our Greensboro Institute
is thirty two The average time that has
elapsed since their treatment is three
years, lacking two months Of this num-
Der nineteen or sixty per cent, have
remained perfectly sober since leaving
the institute.
"In my Judgment, this showing, though
unfair to the institute, as will presently
appear, is yet amply sufficient to con-
vince the most skeptical of the efficacy
of the Kelley treatment and to make it
the duty of every drinking man to try
it. If it offered the victim of the drink
habit one chance out of ten for deliver
ance from so intoerable curse, surely
to refuse it would be folly; but even
according to the gross figures given above
it offers him not one but six chances out
of ten.
But the probabilities of a cure are far
greater than sixty out of one hundred,
as we shall now see. OF the thirty-two
patients thirteen relapsed OF these thir-
teen, twelve had not taken the full four
weeks but only three weeks treatment.
The brief course used to be sometimes
permitted, but for more than two years
it has been discarded by the Kelley au-
thorities, experience having proved that
a thorough cure cannot certainly be ef-
fected in less than four weeks. They re-
fuse to register any man as a patient
unless he will take the complete treat
ment and also place himself as a ledger
under the daily regimen Of the institute
The above twelve fulfilled neither of these
two vital and commonsense conditions OF
successful treatment. Subtracting these
from the entire number we have twenty
left, of whom nineteen, or exactly ninety
five per cent, are today Industrious and
sober men.
1T seems to me that such facts should
command the attention not only of drink
ing men, but of parents, pastors, and
church officers. Their prayers for the
reformation of the incorporate would nc
doubt be more speedily answered if they
would persuade the backsliding members
Of their families and congregations tC
adopt this means of grace and rescue
which God in His Providence seems tc
have provided"

immortality on the Stage.

Il assert that the stage is not in any
general way, cemoralizing to tiosa con-
nected with it, says Franklin Fyles, in
Everybody's Magazine. Few of the dis
reputable women engaged in acting got
their wickedness at the theatre. Most
of them were social outcasts before they
became actresses. The stage did not de-
grade them They degraded the stage.
Moreover, the daughters of actors, born
to and reared in the glare of the foot
lights, hardly ever contribute to the
scandals which to indscriminate read
ers of the news of the day, seem to char
acterize pretty nearly all players. The
exploits in infamy are chiefly those of
women whose repute was bad before they
ever entered theatre by the stage door
The fragrant misbehavior is commonly
among singers and dancers employed
meretriciously, or at least indecorously
In comic operas and extravaganzas, where
we can hardly expect to see public vic
iousness accompanied by private virtues.
The casts of such pieces are largely reg
listers of social evil. In justice to those
who live circumspectly, there should be
plain speech about those who do not.
But run your eye down list of star
actors and actresses. or the casts in
dramatic playblls. and you will find only
small ratio of names that are synon-
yms for profiigacy. The time when indi-
vidual disgrace was accounted a valu-
able asset IN the show business is past
and gone. Almost all the eminent per-
sonages OF the American stage are OF
good reputa ton, and most are also of
good character. The moral average of
the dramatic profession is as high as
that of the legal or the medical The
steady gain in this regard has had much
to do with the advancement in the art
OF acting. The recruits during the past
decade have been preponderatingly
young men and girls of good rearing and
education. Culture has become common
back of the theatrical curtain. Ladies'
and gentlemen are in such heavy ma
jority there. that the less seemly minor
ity is generally dominated by the pre-
vailng politeness"

Sentiment Against Saloons.

The growth of the sentiment against the

teen years has been most remarkable
Rich Square, for instance, ten and Fifteen
years ago had become so notorious on ae-
count of its saloons and gambling denS
that but few ladies living off from the

now there is not business man in the

indeed we know no one here who favors
them. healthy, moral sentiment per-
vades the entire community, among both
races Lewiston, in our sister county or
BERTHE, which from it's foundation up to
few months ago, was known far and wide

that the business men of the place have
experienced no loss of trade on account or
the changed conditions Kelford in the
same county, had gained such repu-
tation, whether justly so or not we do not
know that but few people in Northampton

trade and the valuation of real estate.

HOT INSlDES
OF VOLCANO

THE trip to the Volcano has become
Ittio more interesting Of late on account
OF rumured manifestation Of fire about
this outlet of Internal regions, presaging
more magnificent things for the future.
Nor are the rumors without foundation,
although something may be taken from
the most vivid efforts of the Imagination
that have gone abroad. AS Mr. Waldron.
the proprietor of the Volcano House
says, II don't want exaggerated reports
of the place to go out because. they do
more harm than good in the long run. I
don't want people from Honolulu or from
the Coast coming here with the idea in
their heads that they are going to see
several square miles of boiling hades,
because they won't see II, and then they
will go home and kick and the sound of
their kicking will not only reach the
skies but divers portions of the earth in
habited by people who yearn to trip to
Hawaii and might possibly satisfy the
yearn, but for the kick aforementioned.
In my opinion this crater is worth travel
ing some leagues, even on the kinau to
see, ana people who come here will think
so too, if they don't come here with
visions of molten lakes in their nuts"
a trip made by night to the crater
proves that this is the case. The pit OF
kilauea is In itself wonder showing the
dead remains of past upheavals and its
steaming fissures and central pit wrapped
in clouds of smoke prove that in itself 1t
is far from dead. Near this central part
where the eruption of 1894 occurred. for
about half a mile on the kona and kau
side symptoms of a new outburst are dis
tinctly manifest In intense heat and visi-
BILE fire which In the larger cracks Is seen
distinctly to approach the surface, the
rocks being at IL white heat nearly to the
top. That there is Il lake of molten lava
within IA short distance of the surface
there can be no doubt. Just as 1t stands
the sight is one of great magniicence.
although, as Mr.. Waldron says of the
outbreak itself no one can predict. 1t
may come in day, and ii may never
come; but as one lodges the big cracks
and glowing rocks it seems as If the
storm Were not far off .--Illo Tribune

BOY ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS HIMSELF

William X. Kuaiaina, fifteen-year-
old Hawaiian boy, better known to the
readers of this paper as Little Billie
who was for a time typo in the News
office, accidentally shot himself about 4
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, near his
residence in lao Valley.
He had been out shooting birds. and
was standing on the hillside near his
home. He called to attract the attention
of the people in the house, and when
they looked out. he amused himself and
them by going through the manual of
arms with his shotgun. He was lost
sight of for a few minutes, and then the
report of his gun was heard A younger
brother ran out and saw him lying down.
Waiting few moments, the younger
brother noticed smoke rising from his
brothers clothes and ran up on the hill
side and found William dead.
The only known witness TO the trag-
edy was a small Portuguese boy, who
states that Williams gun seemed to slip
from his hand and fall to the base of the
rock on which he was standing. immed-
lately after which II was discharged At
ter the shot. William Strengthened up and
stood erect for a few moments, and then
reeled and fell dead. The shot entered
the abdomen and ranged upward, doubt
less penetrating the heart.
The sheriff and several officers were
soon on the scene, but the evidence of &C.
cident was so apparent tina II was
deemed unnecessary to hold an inquest
