The Christian Guardian Of Toronto.

promising language:
Can prohibition be enforced?

strongest possible case against prohi-

No Drinkers want

Railway managers are pooling their
interests in respect to the drink ques-
tion, so that these great corporations
are gradually eliminating the drunk
ard or the drinking man from the
railway service. Every competent
railway man understands this, and
he will advise beginner ambitious
to work up in the service to give up
absolutely the habit of tippling or
drinking at home or in public. No
man, however bright, can expect to
make a success in railroading who is
not willing to yield to this ineXorable
rule of the road. Thus, from the high
est, to the lowest, the railway men are
invariably temperate and sober. and If
they ever had the habit of drinking
they have bravely overcome it. Con
sequently the force of example set by
this great body of worlSmen is far
more powerful in its effects than any
preaching or open advocacy of tenn
perance from a moral point of view.
The railways demand the strictest So

AlcOhOl hnS No llhco III Mtuicine'
The doctor who prescribes alcohol in
any shape demonstrates his ignorance
of the nature of disease and the nature
of cure. A sick person is in more or
less OF a defective state of health, haa
less resistance to unfavorable influ-
ences, and should be tenderly protected
from baneful risks. Alcohol is aggres-
sive, inflammatory and intolerant in it,
effects on the human body Make too
hot a fire under a defective boiler and
we all know what happens to the
boiler!
The doctrine of total abstinence from
alcohol under all circumstances is not
the product of sentiment or belief; it
is based on a scientific truth borne out
by accumulated facts through expert
ment and extensive observation. All
assertions to the contrary spring from
either u wilful misinterpretation of the
truth, or gross, culpGble and mex
cusable ignorance. After an experience
OF thirty-four years, unbiased by preju-
dice seeking only substantial facts,

pies no legitimate place in medicine

FATHER sLocUM's TRIBUTE
To Rev ". A. Harty, Who Was We'll
 Known Here

To Rev w 4. Harty, Who Was We'll
 Known Here.
 At the last mass at the Immaculate Conception church, Father Slocum paid a fitting tribute to the memory of Father Harty. When Father Slocum was boy, NYinsted and Wolcottville, now Torrington, were both one parish, and the whole territory was under the spiritual direction of the priests at Winsted, the pastor at that time being Rev Philip Sheridan. The Hartys re- sided ill Wolcottville, but William A. (Father Harty) lived for several years at Winsted with Father Sheridan, un- der whose tutOrship he learned the rudiments of Latin. He also attended St Jamess Episcopal academy at that place, conducted by Episcopalian cler- gymen. While at Winsted he taught Sunday school class and had among his pupils two boys who were destined for the priesthood. Father Slocum and Father Shelley of this city. After completing his studies in this country he went to Italy, and was there during the siege of Rome by Victor Emman- uel's troops in 1870. When the army was pouring into the city and levelling everything in it's onward march. Father Harty was one of number of students who assisted in raising the Stars and Stripes over the American college to save it from the ravages of the soldiery. While in Rome he con- tracted what is known as the Roman fever, something like yellow fever. He recovered from the malady and never felt any after effects of the disease un- hn f0 fo ya4a ar1I f1 to construct a basement under the Im- maculate Conception church. He spent much time under the building with the men and it is thought that the expos ure renewed the disease in his system, and since he has never been a well man. Father Slocum also said
 His natural character by inher- ftance was rather stern and severe. In what he believed to be right he was absolutely unbending; he turned aside not particle for friend or foe. Once he marked out his line of duty there was absolutely no deviation from it. In the discharge of that duty friend ship. even relationship, counted for nothing if it came in his way. As a priest hls ideal was the great high priest. Jesus Christ. Under no circum- stances did he allow his daily spiritual exercises to be interrupted; sick or well. at home or abroad. he made his daily meditation and spent some time in prayer and supplication. He was guileless as child, with will of iron and the heart of q lion. It will be many a day before the Hartford dio- cese will look on his like again.
 Father Harty was idolized by those who knew him best in Waterbury. and the news of his death was q rude shock to his many relatives and friends, all of whom were aware that he was sick. but were hoping to hear that he would be spared for many years to come. He had many near relatives in Waterbury. among whom might be mentioned F. NJ. Harty of S6 Union street, one of his first cousins. It is understood that Waterbury will be we'll represented at the funeral to. morrow morning.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 1O.- There is great alarm here over the high water. The river stands at 396 feet and is still rising. It is almost certain stage of forty-one feet will be reach ed. Farmers in the lowlands are trying to save their corn in crib. Several saw mills along Green river are submerged, and the loss will be large. A stage of forty-one feet will be the highest since the great flood of 1884. The crest will not be reached before tomorrow noon, and by that time the river in some places between here and Cairo will be ten miles wide.

 New Haven, March 1O.-s.I believe hazing, in d mild form to be a good thing for the person hazed. It brings out all that is good i'll him an1 takes away much of his conceit and fresh ness"
 So spoke Professor c. r. Kent of Yale one morning last week in address sing his class
 Professor Kent is the Woolsey pro- lessor of biblical literature at Yale and when he made the remarks quot ed above he was discussing the quail ties and character of Joseph of bibli- cal fame, who was subjected to se- were form of hazing by his brothers.
 During the course of his remarks he intimated that Joseph was rather a fresh youth, previous to the rough treatment by his brethren, but that he subsequently, became q hard and con- scientiouS worker and achieved suc- cess. He believed that if hazing could take the freshness and conceit from Joseph, it would do the same to oth- CTS.
 Most of us upper classmen and graduates continued the professor, look back upon our hazing days as happy memory. think myself that hazing is good thing when the re- suit is that young men who are sub jected to it are made devoid of conceit and freshness. It brings out the good in man.
 Tn closing Professor Kent said tlslt he did not approve of brutal hazing but thought just enough hazing was real good thing.

 We have this day appointed JOHN MORIARTY, of Waterbury, Ct, the well known undertaken, sole agent for our ROLLED STEEL BURIAL CAS- KETS. These metal caslxets will be sold as cheap as the ordinary wooden caskets and are endorsed by the Bos- ton and New York boards of health, as well as the War and Navy de- partments. They are proof against all contagious diseases, being abso- lutely air tight; they are covered in all kinds of goods of various colors and the prices are extremely low and within the reach of every family. The popularity of these caskets is ev- idenced by the fact that our factory is taxed to it's utmost capacity to keep up with the demand.
