Hicks Beach on Liquor.

Those who are interested in any as
pect OF the temperance question have
not forgotten Lord Saiisbury's eXtraor-
binary speech of two or three years
ago. in which he fiippantly and cynical
ly divided society into two classes-the
ce1lared and the cellarless. Prohibi-
tionists and restrictionists, he remark
ed, concentrated all their efforts on the
second class with whose reasonable
indulgence" they perpetually sought to
interfere, while those fortunate enough
to have cellars escaped all reformatory
efforts. Those observations eXasper-
ated the temperance party and fur
niShed abundant material for denunci-
atory discourses.
In his chancellor OF the exchequer,
Lord Salisbury has worthy lieuten-
ant In Sir Michael Hicks-Beech. Take
his speech to the licensed victualers at
Bristol. He has no sympathy with the
teetotalers' propaganda, and, with Lord
salisbury, believes in permitting "rea-
sonable indulgence He is at liberty
to hold and express his views, but he
ought to recognize the earnestness and
good faith OF the teetotalers, especially
those who limit themselves to moral
suasion and decline TO support the
movement for prohibition. Sir Michael
treasured the liquor trade by announc-
ing that the government had no inten-
ton to place new burdens upon it, The
belief that the making, sale or con-
sumption of liquor is sin he described
as absurd.
Prohibition is not an issue in British
politics, but temperance is. The pres
ent session, in fact, is expected to deal
with the drink question. The cabinet
does not propose to do much; it might
at least return soft and conciliatory
answer. Salisbury, Chamberlain and
Hicks-Beach are carrying frankness
too far-for politicians in office.

John Burns Warns BritIshers

No voice addressed to Anglo-Saxon
wage-earners provokes wider response,
or more rightly so, than that of John
Burns. His life has been identified
with working-class interests. His po-
sition in the British parliament has
been used to advocate advanced social
legislation and in the London County
Council he has championed admins
traIive enterprises calculated to raise
the standard of common life. In pub
lie address. too, he always deals with
subjects concretely and with great
courage.
In a recent speech in London to
working people he laid earnest stress
upon the enormous evils of drink. He
recounted. with facts and figures. the
overcrowded housing conditions of
London, the amount of pauperism, the
great though decreasing amount of
criminality. the prevalence of betting,
the tendency toward increased isola-
ton of rich and poor. But" he added,
81 deem it my duty to say that but for
drink and it's concomitant evils our
problem would be smaller and our rem
edies more effective ITO think more
and to drink less" was his counsel.
even for those in the most depressing
conditions.
For reducing the British drink bill
of sS00,000,oO0 per year, or 500 per
head, he ADVOCATED abstinence" as
the best and most simple remedy" for
the individual, and the restriction of
the number of drinking places as the
duty of public authorities generally. He
quoted Liverpool as having since 1889
reduced its police drunkenness cases
from 10000 to 4,1S0, its crime from 926
to 552 per 100000. its policemen by 100,
at a saving of $4,000 to the rates. by
the simple remedy of having got rid of
345 licensed premises in eleven years"
Then he urged a similar policy for Lon
don.

Lies Mystery.

Ahre10 AysV0rys
Lo, what am I? A patch Of things,
Mere odds and ends of lives flung by,
From age-long rag-bag gatherings
Pieced up by Fate full thrifty;
Somebody's habits and his hair.
Discarded conscience. faith once fair
Ere time, the moth, had eaten it;
My great-grandfather's chin and nose.
The eyes my great-grandmother wore,
And hands from some remote-who
knows?-
Perchance prehensile ancestor;
Somebody's style, somebody's gait. 3
Another body's wrist and waist.
With this ones temper, that ones trait,
Ones tastes, another's lack of taste;
Feelings I never chose to feel,
voice in which 1 had no voice.
Revealing where l would conceal
Rude impulses without choice;
Faults which this forefather that
Unkindly fostered, to my i'll,
With others some one else begat
And made the after worser still.
They chose, these masters of my fate,
To please themselves, beQueathing me
Base pleasures in the things l hate,
Liking for what misliketh me.
Out of the ashes of their fires,
Out of the fashion of their bone,
They fashioned me, my mighty sireS,
And shall call my soul my own?
Ay, borrowed husk, head heart and
hand,
Slave on and serve me till we die,
I am your Lord and your Commando!
But only God knows-what am 1.

FOR THE TWILIGHT HOUR
Thoughts on Religious Topics Intended for Quiet
Contemplation.

to get freedom, sunshine, rest? fear
there are many people who have no
better conception of the Fathers will
than that Or do you think of that
will as workingman thinks of the
factory or a workshop where he goes
and works, and works, and works
with exhausting labor until he is tired
out, and his one thought is of the
time when the factory will close and
rest come? Or do you think of Gods
will as home, home-the place where
associations are tenderest, the place
where music is sweetest, the place
where the voices thrill your heart most
deeply, the place where you can rest,
the place where you find delight, and
fellowship, and ease? That was as it
was with the Master, and if we walk
as He walked, 50 the Fathers Will
will be with us.-Rev. c. Inwood.

Let Your own Heart Decide.

How may we know that We have
decided any question rightly? Some
times we feel obliged to take step
that apparently is contrary to self
interest. and certainly is not in &C
cord with the advice of friends. Every
honest person at one time or another
faces this problem. Well, one indica-
ton that we have decided rightly or
wrongly is to be found in the state of
our own mind afterward. Are we at
peace with the decision we have made,
or are our hearts filed with tumuk?
If we have peace we may be certain
that we were right, no matter what
others may say about it. This peace
of spirit is Gods seal of approval upon
our course.

The will of God,

What is the will of God to you? Do
you think of it as a rack-something
on which you are stretched, and torn,
and mangled, until the very agony be-
comes almost uncomfortable, and you be-
gin to question the love and wisdom
Of God? / have met Christians who
in times of great sorrow seemed to
have no better conception of Gods
love than that. Or do you think of
Gods will as prison-house, a place
where you are limited, hampered, con-
fined, where there is gloom and bitter
ness? Are you standing knocking
against the walls of the prison, with
an irrepressible desire to get outside,

Alcohol q False Friend.

Alcohol is a false friend; even in
emergency it never revived a patient
that there was not something better
adapted to the case. Something more
permanent in its power for good could
have been given, and to which no after
effects would be attached, because res
toration to normal balance is not its
province. The system has less to con-
tend with during suffering when taking
nothing, than it has when taking the
wrong thing.

Religion in Everyday Life.

In the view and practice of many
people, the church seems to be but a
side-line which they carry incidentally
to their main business, which is the
pursuit of the things of the world.
Church services and duties, If attend
ed to at all, come in for such people in
a haphazard way, which is hardly
complimentary to their religious pro-
fession which they make Christ new
er meant that his religion should be
anything else than the main matter of
life. To Paul of Tarsus, Christ was
all in all. So he must be to every be-
lever of every age. Christianity is
no halfway business. 1t must be
everything, or it is nothing.

The VIII OF God.

The will of God respecting us is that
We shall live by each others happi-
ness and life; not by each others
misery or death. A child may have
to die for its parents; but the purpose
of heaven is that it should rather live
for them-that, not by its sacrifice. but
by it's strength, its joy, its force OF
being, it shall be to them renewal OF
strength and as the arrow in the hand
of giant. So it is in all other right
relations. Men help each other by
their joy, not their sorrow. They are
not intended to Stay themselves for
each other, but to strengthen them
selves for each other.-Ruskin.

Would Close Sunday Saloons.

Bishop F. d. Huntington (Episcopa-
lian) Of Syracuse takes strong ground
against the opening of saloons on Sun
day, holding that such a measure would
be a dissertation and perversion of a
divinely appointed sacred day. He is
bitterly opposed to the sentiments ex-
pressed by Bishop Potter, DR.. Rains

day law cannot be enforced

Bullock, but says MT, Porter called on him subsequently,, and alleges that both MT Porter and MT, Bullock assumed the responsibility of pushing the case We have the entire correspondence in th's office, and are prepared to defend ourselves from any such charges as MT Bullock makes, and will do so at the proper time. MT. BulloCk's statement that l demanded $100 from him on any occasion is ab- sOlutely false He claims that we agreed to do the work for $50, which statement, I wish to say, is the re- suit of diseased memory, or an effort on the part of Mir. Bullock to wilfully misrepresent facts"
 After setting forth emphatically that MT. Bullock authorized us to proceed in the case and guaranteed the ex- pense, but requested that when $50 had been expended in obtaining evidence we should report" MT. Thrasher eaid the leagues part of the contract was carried out to the letter, and estimates that the cost to the league in securing the evidence desired amounted to Sl1202, We received S60 from the gentlemen named, and $56SO from the courts, which was credited to their &C., count, leaving a balance still unpaid of $55.22, which MT. Bullock repudiates because he says we agreed to do the whole work GOT $50"
 Alluding to an interview had with MT. Porter, MT. Thrasher says MT, Porter said to MT Prince he would be responsible for sufficient amount to carry the thing through, or something to that effect.
 MT. Prince reports that this is ex- actly what MT. Porter did say.

BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Its Concert at the Hyperion Theater
 To- Night

Its Concert at the Hyperion Theater
 To-Night.
 Tonight the citizens of New Haven will have the privilege of listening to the finest musical organization in Amer ica, and possibly in the world-the Bos- ton Symphony orchestra, numbering seventy solo performers. Under the leadership of Herr Wilhelm Gericke the great conductor, the orchestra has been brought up to its present high standard. The committee of the Con necticut Teachers Annuity Guild be- lieved that the reputation of the orches- tra, together with the object in view, viz, benefit to the guild, would inf1u- ence a large patronage. In this it has not been disappointed the sale of tick cts being very large. The expense of bringing this wonderful organization to New Haven, including soloist, hall, ad vertising, etc, will be nearly or quite 2,000 The seating capacity of the Hy- perion-1 ,647 seats-is not sufficient to warrant an undertaking of this charac- ter at ordinary prices. Realizing the facts in the case, the committee of the guild, with view to realizing the most reasonable benefit from the concert, was compelled to place about 500 tickets at g and the remainder at $1.50 and $1, The s1.50 and S1 seats have all been sold, with the possible exception of dozen. As near as the committee could ascertain last evening at least 800 of the 600 $2 tickets have been taken. It is altogether probable that the remainder will be sold during the day. For those who desire either to hear this unrivalled orchestra or to contribute toward the Teachers Guild benefit it will hardly be advisable to wait until evening before purchasing.
 The great Tsehaikowsky Symphony, which has been played in all the large cities and has achieved great popular ity. is on the programme for tonight; also the newest novelty, entitled 'Cockaigne," panoramic sketch of 'London Town" Josef Slivinski, the great Polish pianist, will play Rubin stein's concerto for piano No 4 in D minor, the same selection which Profes- sor Sanford rendered in such magnif1- cent style at the last concert of the New Haven Symphony orchestra A limited number of standing tickets will be issued at $1; also tickets for the pea nut gallery, so-called, at 50 cents.
