MICROBES AND MEN.
Scientific Lecture of Merit by
DR.. TAYLOR.

The second of the series of lectures by
DR.. L o. Taylor was delivered IN sey-
cnth Street Christian Church last night
to large and deeply interested audience.
The Darcy Quartette sang two selections
Rock OF Ages" and Where Is My Wan,
dering Boy Tonight" in splendid
prayer.
Tie subject of Dr. Taylor's lecture was
Microbes and Men, or Chemistry of AL
cohol." The lecture dealt with the drink
question in {; calm and logical manner
and with special reference to the scientific
aspect of the question Although the tenn
perance question is usually termed lrite,
yet as a matter Of fact, affirmed the
speaker, there Is widespread ignorance re-
garding 1t. and not one OF a dozen persons
can give a scientific definition of alcohol
or know anything about the chemical pro-
pensiiies.
The prophet Hosea said: MY people
are DESTROYED for lack Of knowledge
are destroyed In this land every year for
lack of a very little and very simple
knowledge touching the nature of alcohol
and the effects.
The researches of chemical and physi-
oiogical science have broughtto light new
facts and principles. dispacing old time
notions and guesswork. Men have tenn
perance sentiment enough, but 1t Is not
up-to-date or scientific Temperance. Peo-
pie should not suppose, that because their

the temperance world is likewise moving

1.-THE discussion of scientific mon re-
solves around the nature OF alcohol,
which Is the essential property OF all H.
quors." The doctor now went into an
elaborate and II lucid discussion Of, alco-

CIVIL SUIT HAS
UNIQUE FEATURES
Mrs. Andrews Brings CONNER
cial Guarantee Company Into
Court--Usury Alleged.

The civil suit of Mrs. NJ. j. Andrews
against the Commercial Guarantee Com
pany was begun in the Police Court yes
terday at noon. Tho evidence was par
TALLY heard, when, at 1:45 o'clock, a re-
cess was taken to u o'clock to-day.
The suit is to determine whether or
not the charges BIZ the loan company are
usuriouc.
Mrs. Andrews claims that she Dor
rowed some money from the concern
for which she gave decd Of trust on
her household goods and signed a note
for .es, receiving saS in cash. Luther
Dawson was named as tho trustee.
In her testimony Mrs. Andrews said
that IN order to get the loan she had TO
endorse check for $3.50, but that she
got only SIS.
=. T. Mitchell. for the company, said
that it was the custom for some member
or tho concern to cash the checks, for
tho reason that the fee OF $50 for re-
cevlng the deed and 81 for notary's fee
had to be paid in cash. Mr.. Mitchell
himself was the notary in the case.
IT was apparent that Mrs. Andrews In
tended TO borrow $50 She swore, how
ever, that she received only SSS a!tl
upon this point the prosecution will en-
deavor to base its charge OF usury, In
that the s12 was charged as interest
on tho $50.
During the testimony Mrs Andrews re-
ferred to another incident bearing upon
the case In point. She said her son had
an account with the concern. and that
when she went to the Office one day TO
pay $40 on her personal account, 1t was
credited to that of her son. This the
company will contend, was a mere office
error, IL an error at all.
Mr.. William l. Royal represents Mrs
Andrews and Captain George D. Wise
the company. Owing to an engagement
in Manchester at O'Clock, Captain Wise
asked for a continuance, and at u O'Clock
to-day the hearing Will be continued.
