The Second Number Of the Alma Lecture
Course Proved To be Such.

The second number Of the lecture

Quartette sang beautifully each member
being possessed with voices we'll adapted
for their part They were repeatedly
encored and readily responded with ex-
cellent selections in each instance. The
duet by Misses Porter and Black burn was
especially good AS also was the solo by

Temperance Movement in Germany.
Two phenomena afford proof that a
tremendous impulse is stimulating
German people to effort against the
alcohol ravages within their boun-
daries One Is the great output of
German publications within recent
years to promote temperance efforts
and the other, the remarkable tenn
perance congresses held last year, one
IN Austria, the other in the German
empire, while a third is being planned
again for Germany next April.
AS to the first, we have. compiled
by Peter Schmidt, librarian in Dres-
den. a complete photography Of the
periodicals, books and important
pamphlets and articles that have been
published in German during the years
1SS0-l9O0, for the promotion Of tenn
perance. The list includes thirty-two
periodicals, Of witch twenty-five are
in the interest of the total abstinence
movement. It Is especially. however,
the yigor and excellence of these jour
nails that merit attention. They con
tain an amount of argument and in
formation based on original research
that places them as specimens Of tenn
perance literature in the front rank.
Among the editors Of these journals
are an especially large number, Of
eminent medical men. a lawyer OF
great prominence in Berlin, a distin-
guished civil engineer. an ofiicer OF
high nobility and military rank, with
expert teachers. pastors. and mer-
chants. all of whom can count upon
the cooperation OF competent con
tributors.
Prominent among the periodicals is
quarterly published in Dresden, en-
titled Der Al1oholismus II was found
ed for scientific investigation to pro-
mote the solution OF the alcohol prob
lem, and holds the ground neutral
to afford the advocates OF all honest
temperance effort a fair field and
equal rights within its pages. Three
of its eminent quartet of editors have
not, to our knowledge. pronounced
themselves workers for total absti
nence. Nevertheless. characteristic OF
the German trend of temperance ef
fort, the influence Of the journal is
predominantly favorable to total alb
stinerce. The explanation Of this fact
is the honesty and capability Of the
investigators, and also the fact that
even the moderationist party the pio
neer by a few months in the modern
German temperance movement, the
Society for Opposing the Misuse oi
Spirituous Drinks, as it is called, con
tains many total abstaining members
and is becoming increasingly con
vinced that only very radical meas
ures can prevent the ravages Of alco
hol. Besides, that society, despite
many distinguished members, makes
slight progress in securing new mem
bers; while it is the total abstinence
societies that are making phenomenal
growth Victory is coming to those
with a well defined programme and
who make no compromise.-Ne

A Eortnnate sehooI Teaeher.

Miss Florence Lindley, a school
teacher OF Brown county, Kansas,
years ago made up her mind that there
were great possibilities in the Indian
territory. So she saved her salary
and bought seventy-two lots in the
little town of Sapulpa. paying the In
dian owner a trife under "a for each
lot The Indian rued his action and
when the courthouse and many real
estate records were burned not long
ago ne brought suit claiming the
young woman never had paid him. At
the trial after he had testified under
oath that the land was ot paid for
Miss Lindley brought forward his re-
eeipt for the amount in full, which
she had preserved. The Indian is on
trial for perjury. The town lots in
question are valued at not less than
$4,000.
