Temperance Notes.

IL is reported that the saloon
men throughout the land are get
ting very much stirred up on &C
count of the wave of temperance
sentiment now sweeping over the
country. In North Carolina a
committee from what is called the
North Carolina Liquor Dealers,
Distillers' and Grape Growers
Association recently sent out a
circular in which they say: <'The
retail liquor traffic in North Caro-
lima is facing a crisis. There has
been organized in this state an as
ISOLATION known as the Anti-Saloon
League, having for it's motto, The
Licensed Saloon Must Co. They
are vigorously but quietly pushing
their work, affecting every county
in the state and keeping their do
ings from publicity. To meet this
issue, and make a successful cam
paign against this organized force
which seeks the ruin of the retail
liquor business, we must be pre-
pared to enter the field and wage a
vigorous opposition against the
enemy"
It is a most significant fact that
in England, where separate CLASH
fcation of total abstainers and
users Of liquors has been kept for
some years, the death rate among
total abstainers is reported by one
company to be only one-half of
that among the users of liquors,
and by another company at three
fourths. The experience of the
first company extends over pe-
Rod of twenty-five years.

In 1901, jamestown, Ohio. had
saloons, and the tax rate was 50. 20
on the hundred. Thus far this
year, with no saloons, the rate of
taxation is $2.45 on the hundred.
For the year ending March 1,
1901, $63l.60 were drawn from
the poor fund, while $186.75 were
drawn from same fund for the
year ending March 1, 1902. -

In the Congo Free State the Of
fetal Bulletin shows that in 1901
not one sixth the quantity of alco-
holic liquors was imported that
was imported the previous year.
lin 1900, 1,3C5,876 quarts; in
1901, POS, III quarts.) This great
reduction in the amount imported
is in accordance with the wish Of
the Free State authorities, who
have placed the duties upon in
toxicating liquors at a point which
is nearly prohibitive. 1

DECORATION DAY.

ORATORS AT GRANT TOMB
Southern Orator at Grants Tomb
Services Held In Texas and
Elsewhere.

New York, May 31.-Judge Jones
said in part: This hour is one of in
descrlbable moral grandeur When
but beardless youth drank Of the
cup of defeat at Appomattox and was
one of those allowed to return to their
homes, not to be disturbed by the
United States authorities so long as
they observed their parole and the
laws in force where they resided.
From that day to this there has never
been an hour when l would willingly
omit any opportunity to do honor to
the memory of the immortal hero who
forebore to add to the burden of our
sorrows then.
mo true soldier can deny to the
illustrious man whose mortal remains
lie here the possession of all the quail
ties OF great commander. The man
who died at Mount McGregor was
never envious of the captains who won
battles for him, and he sustained them
Loyalty in the field. No ignoble emo
tons came to him in the hour Of tri-
umph. He did not take time, after the
collapse at the little Virginian village,
to pass through Richmond, the prize
for which armies had SO long contend
ed but hurried direct to Washington
to begin the disbandment Of the army.
He was called to the highest civic rank
on earth. The gaze of the world beat
in upon him there and found no stain.
From the hour he turned from Ap-
pomattox to the last day at Mount
McGregor, the desire uppermost in the
thoughts of the victorious soldier was
to soothe and better the condition of
his defeated countrymen. He lost no
opportunity to speak in terms of admi-
ration OF the Confederate soldier. and
after the power.of speech was gone he
wrote:
feel that we are on the eve of a
new era. and there is to be great har-
mony between the Federals and Con
fed5rates. cannot stay to be a living
witness OF the correctness of this
prophecy. but ] feel it within me that
it is to be so.''

Prof. Heilprln Brsved Volcanoes Wrath
Spent Two Hours at the Summit.
Fort de France, June 2.-rhe Ma.
tional Biographies society has scored
great triumph. Prof. Heilprin as
cended to the tor of the crater Of
Mont Pelee yesterday in company with
two guides and Mr. Ledbetter. While
on the summit several violent explo-
sions occurred. but notwithstanding
the thousand dangers surrounding
him, Prof. Helprin spent long time
taking careful observations. Looking
down the crater he found a huge
cinder cone. The crater opening is a
vast crevasse 500 feet long and 100
feet wide, While engaged in this task
the lives of the members of the expe-
dition were continually in danger and
one particularly violent explosion
covered Prof. Helprin from head to
foot with yiscid matter. He per.
sisted, however, and found, as had
been suspected, that there were three
separate vents of volcanic matter
Meanwhile Mont Pelee, seeming to re.
sent the intrusion of man into her law.
full territory, belched out huge volumes
of steam, ashes and boiling hot mud
Professor Helprip made the important
discovery that the crater OF Fallaise
has an eruption at the same time as
the summit crater and elects precisely
the same matter.S Both craters showed
a new phenomenon during the profess
sor's visit when mud was thrown up
in high columns. while heretofore the
mud was bubbled or boiled out and
flowed downward in huge streams
There is reason to fear that great
damage may result from the outbursts
of this mud to the rich plantations
still uninjured.
Professor Helprin's Journey down
the side of the mountain was fully as
perilous as the ascent The expedi.
ton had been especially organized by
United States Consul Ayme and Prof.
Helprin, and was led by the latter.
