Letter to Jno. SchlossnagIe.

Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate
of the late Congressman Scott, of
Erie, Pa, painted "a Rolling-Min
houses one coat Devoe at a saving af
II per cent for paint dead and-oil was
after the job.
That's how the tale reads. We in
fer what really happened,
The buyer, as usual went by the
cost of paint; got bids. Lead-and- oil
bid low and guessed the quantity;
the saving was only II per cent.
Nobody seems to have thought of
this: the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint. How
much did we save on the painting?
Don't know.
The tale ends with this: We often
refer inquirers to those houses, for
wear of Devoe.
That's a good-enough story; but
nobody knows what it is. Our only
difficulty is want of paint-intelli-
gence.
Yours truly,

S0BRIETY IN BUSINESS.
Employees Mast be Temperate these
DayS-But They are Allowed
Beer and Other Soft Drinks.

the great city of New York is turn
/ ing to beer and soft drinks, said
Charles H. Treat, United States
! Treasurer, when the subject came
up of the experiment Of the Sub
way Tavern. "As collector of In
ternal revenue in the Wall Street
district of the city and the clubs
! of which I am a member I observ-
/ ed the same tendency. If you
should walk into some of the great
political and social clubs of New
York today, organizations COM
posed Of the best business and pro-
fessional men of the city, seventy
/ five per cent Of those sitting around
the tables would be drinking soft
drinks, in which I include beer as
the foremost. Even wines are be-
ing used in decreasing quantities.
This is because wines often con-
tain more alcohol than is good for
the consumer. My long expert
ence as collector ofinternaI revenue
taught me that the rectifcation
and blending of wines are nearly
always rectifed with alcohol.
/ Wine dealers blend their different
varieties, resulting in another mix
ture of alcohol. The consequence
is that the alcoholic strength is
variable.
In these days Of strict business
requirement in a great city men
! become temperate because of act
ual necessity. They sill desire
something that is gently stimu1at-
ing and meets the wants of com
partnership, There is no question
that they are turning largely to
beer, settler, and such drinks.
/ Less than fourth Of those no,
ticed in a big club are taking
whiskey. When there was an ex-
posture year or so ago of the use
of wood alcohol in a number of
saloons i'll the place of whiskey,
resulting in the death of several
men, noticed in my own club a
still greater tendency to leave
whiskey off and substitute beer,
the purity Of which is, as a rule,
unquestioned.
"The giant railroad companies,
the immense business interests of
the country of all sorts are begin
ming to exact from their employees
a strict pledge to avoid distilled
liquors, but these great concerns
recognize the demand of human
nature for a stimu1ant and most of
them do not prohibit beer and the
mild drinks. The rule is a good
one, in my opinion. l have lost
tens of thousands of dollars by
inebriety of brilliant men whose
talents in certain lines made them
almost indispensable to me. Yet
as l grow older l become stricter
in wanting to know the personal
habits of a man. If he drinks
whiskey would not employ him
at any price. If he drinks beer in
moderation, or other soft drinks,
l would regard him as temperate
and unobjectionable. Such is the
almost universal rule of business
men of prominence. That accounts
more largely for the increasing
temperance Of the United States
than all the laws ever made.

FOREIGN VOTERS WARNED
By Circular Explaining The Poe
Amendment,

Thousands of circulars explain
ing the Poe DISTINGUISHING amend
ment are being sent out from Re-
publican State headquarters to the
foreign-born voters in Baltimore
and other sections of the State.
These circulars are printed in Ger
man, Yiddish. Polish and other
languages, but there is one section
that is printed in English.
After describing in foreign LAM
guage what the Poe amendment
aims to do, and then giving in
more detail its provisions, it is ex-
planned in these circulars that a
man who was not qualified to vote
on January I, 1869, or the descen-
dants of such man, mustbe able to
read in English 4 section of the
State Constitution and explain the
same.
Can you," the circular asks.
read and explain in English what
the following from the State Con-
stitution means:
I. No conviction shall work cor
ruption of blood or forfeiture of
estate.
?. That no law to attaint par
tiCular persons of treason or felony
ought to be made in any case or
any time hereafter.
5. That sanguinary laws ought
to be avoided as far as it is consis-
tent with the safety of the State.
4. That no man ought to be
taken or imprisoned or disseized
of his freehold liberties or privi-
leges. or outlawed or exiled, or in
any manner destroyed or deprived
of his life, liberty or property, but
by the judgment of his peers or by
the law of the land.
5. No ex post fact law ought to
be made or retrospective oath or
restriction be imposed or required
6. The General Assembly shall
pass no law suspendinp the writ
Of habeas corpus.
Everywhere these circulars are
creating profound impression
among the foreign-born voters, to
whom the difficulties of getting
upon the registration books are
broguht home. Republican work.
ers in all sections of the city claim,
and Democratic workers privately 4
admit, that the drift among for S
eign-born voters is continually
against the amendment.
An evidence Of the spread of the
anti-Poe amendment sentiment
among foreign-born voters in the
city is found in the determination
of eight local unions affiliated with
the United Garment Workers,
which unions are composed almost
entirely is foreign-born voters, to
hold a meeting to protest against
the amendment at the Bijou The
atre on October 20.
Arrangements for this big meet
ing ofprotest were made last night
at a conference of representatives
of the Garment-Workers held at
the headquarters on East Balti-
more street. 1t was decided to
engage Walter Thomas Mills, of
Chicago, to deliver an address on
the Origin, Growth and Develop
ment of the Suffrage" and also to
arrange for prominent local speak
err to discuss the Poe amendment.
r representatives. of the various
locals were enthusiastic over the
meeting Of protest and predicted a
large attendance.

keep one serene in mind, and even
sufuse quiet joy, is a religion
exactly suited to human need.
The foundation of the old altar
was diligently sought for in the
debris, This was done that there
might be standing witness that

The advantages of congregation

The lower semi-tone raised by
those who remembered the first
house and saw the inevitable dis
parity was natural. Even Herod' S
luxurious garniture could not COM
pensate for the absence of the ark,
the temples verv heart. In this
plain and ill-furnished sanctuary
God would fain lead His people
from symbol to substance.
Haggai and Zechariah were the
patriotic leaders Of the day, en-
couraging the people in a task,
humanity speaking, ssfar beyond the
means at their command.
This epoch is typical Of all re-
form periods. 1t had its light and
shade, its progress and delay.
This ancient page teens with sug-
gestions for to-day, Temperance
advocates, civic reformers. peace
promoters, and many others may
here find encouragement and guild
ance.
The people shouted with a great
shout" This was not on the pro-
gram. 1t was a spontaneous amen
injected into the ritual. There is
a healthful suferance and genuine
expression Of approval on the con-
trary.
