preacher,s view 81 Prohibition.

Preachers View Of Prohibition.
On Sunday last tile Rev. j. Cleveland
Hall, rector Of tho Episcopal Church III
Danvllle. preached a sermon on Temper
ance. and took occasion to speak OF inc
operation OF the prohibition law IN that
city He admitted that the law nad not
injured the city commercially. but ne
declared that from a moral point OF view
II was a dismal failure. and worse than
failure, the GENERALIZATION OF prohiol-
ton being. In his opinion. greater than
the disqualification OF the saloon. He
said that many men who voted Tor pro
htbition kept spirituous LIQUORS III ther
homes, and that the fact that the ran.
roads and express companies are hunol,hs
n smaller number Of packages nhd way
Bills for Danville. residences, but argues
that the stuff can be obtained nearer
homo.
'.1'he habit OF drinking secretly ne
proceeded, what men have been pro-.
hibitcd from taking openly. has inspired
the young men with sense OF comoat'Ve'
ness and the banding together OF these
young men In cliques In each others
rooms at might when the wine IN the
glass ID red and the cards are on the
table, does not argue we'll for the destiny
of the oity when the present generation
shall have passed away and the rcils
of local government have been placed
in other hands. In short. he charged
that ne prohibition law had not de'
creased the consumption OF spir1tuous
liquors. but had had the effect to en-
courage men to drink II, secret and hnu
encouraged others to sell 1t IN defianco
Of the law, and, in conclusion. he urged
his hearers TO study the conditions TOT
themselves, and II they found that pro-
hIbltion did not prohibit. as the frst SIX
months Of tho new regime had demon
strated ITO repeal the law at the polls
and let the open saloon come back, so
that the homes Of the young men might
he protected, and the traffic OF whlskey
be legalzed and restricted, to the end
that the incubus Of perjury and hypoo'
rlsy might BIO shaken from the shoulders
OF the young men and boys"
When Danville voted for prohibition
wo said that we should watcn the opera
ton Of the law with interest. We are
sim watching the movement.

But this was for my fathers faith

For tcnets he would not forsake
And for tho same his lineal race

Six In youth, and one in age,

Proud OF Prosecutions rage;

Dying as their father died,
For the God their foes denied;

We could not move a single pace,
We could not see each others face,
But with that palo and livid light
That made us strangers in our sight;
And thus together--yet apart,
Fetterd in hand, but pined in hearts
Twas still some solace in the dearth
OF the pure elements of earth,
To hearken to each others speech
And each turn comforter to each
With some new hope, or legend old,
Or song heroically bold;
But even these at length grew cold.

HONORS WERE EVEN.
Although the Attorney Ran Some
what of a Risk I'm Retaliatinx
the Judge.

John r. Eldridge, we'll known western
New York attorney, recently had occasion
to argue case before justice of the peace
in one of the small towns near Rochester
1t happened that Mr. Eldridge and the
justice belonged to different political parties,
had been opposed to each other in several
contests and were far from being on the best
personal terms Each, to use slang express
sion, had it in for the other" The justice
scored the first point, says the New York
Herald
In field near the court room donkey
was feeding. Just as Mr. Eldridge was in
the midst of his plea something disturbed
the animal and it broke forth with resonant
bray
Just minute, Mr. Eldridge, just min
Ute said the Justice blandly. Il cannot
hear two at once.
The attorney was hard hit, but he said
nothing and waited his turn. 1t came when
the justice was explaining point of law to
the jury. Again the bray of the donkey re.
sounded through the court room. Mr. FL
bridge placed his hand at his ear
Would you mind repeating that your
honor?" he said in his mildest tones. "There
was such echo that / could not under
stand
Perhaps the attorney was guilty of con-
tempt of court, but the general opinion in
the court room seemed to be that honors were
about even.
