SERIES OF STRONG LECTURES,
Alcohol Considered From q Scientific
Standpoint.

Standpoint.
Rev. E. o. Taylor, A. NJ, D. D., OF
Boston, Mass, last week, in the Baptist
church of this place, gave a series OF
interesting and learned lectures on
temperance.
he spoke on Sunday morning, De-
cember 25th, on "Citizenship in the
light of Christ and Paul" At night
his theme was That Boy of Yours"
On Monday night his subject was
Microbes and Men, or Chemistry OF
Alcohol" Tuesday night his subject
was "a Glass of Beer Analyzed" and
Wednesday night, it was Goods Mes
sage In Science to Thinking Men,"
The entire series OF lectures was a
lively discussion OF temperance and the
consideration of alcohol from a purely
scientific standpoint. He showed con-
clnsiyely In every lecture that alcohol
Is deadly poison, and the dangers of
Its use were so wildly pointed out that
no one who heard them can ever taste
alcoholic liquors without in some wav
remembering the loathing description
of the microbes which produce it.
The lecturer did not follow In the
beaten. paths OF dwelling upon the sor-
row and misery that follow as the re-
suit of drunkenness, but treated the
whole thing from the plane of scien-
tiiic truth and proved conclusively that
alcohol Is a narcotic, and the person
who uses 1t freely loses his hold upon
the great vital strength OF life.
On Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings DR.. Taylor performed some exper-
tnents, showing how much alcohol en-
ters Into certain drinks, extracts, patent
medicines, etc.
He cooked an egg in alcohol and
showed that alcohol acts upon the al
humen of the brain just as upon the
a'bumen OF an egg-hardens, but not
50 suddenly, of course.
DIR. Taylor Is a learned scientist and
his services have been in demand in
courts Of justice to test alcohol and
other poislons. He is a minister OF
much power and was formerly connect
ed with lecture bureau, for which he
was handsomely paid; but he prefers
to lecture on his own plans and where he
chooses, for he thinks that thus he can
better reach the masses with the sclen-
tific truth on the temperance question.
Those who began with the first lect-
ure and heard him through were great
II benefited, and the lecture has put
the question on different plane here
from what 1t has occupied before.
DR.. Taylor is the author of book
which treats the subject from the same
standpoint of his lectures, but, OF
course, more in detail. He disposed OF
a number OF copies which will be an
aid in bringing about good results from
the splendid and profoundly learned
lectures. Any community will be for
tunate In securing DR.. Taylor to deliv-
er this series of lectures. He is grace
full, eloquent and forceful in all he
says.
DR.. Taylor went to Wilson where he
lectured three days, beginning last
Sunday, and is now in Kinston.

DISASTROUS EXPLOSION OCCURS
IN COAL MINE NO. 1 AT DlA-

"BLoW" SHOT CAUSE Of DIsAS1El
EVERY MINER AT WORK At TIME
OF CATASTROPHE MEETS
INSTANT DEATH. ...

Salt Lake City, Dec. Am explo
sion in mine No. / at Diamondville
Wyo., caused the death of eighteen
men, all who were in the mine when
the explosion occurred Nearly all Of
these were English miners who came
to the Wyoming lnines direct from
England. Had the full night shift been
at work in the mine the loss of life
probably would have been appalling
A elbow" shot was the cause of the
disaster.
The small shift of eighteen men
was working 1000 feet down in the
mine, knocking down coal to be taken
out by the day shift Presumably the
men were close together in a buncl
when the "blow' shot of giant pow
der exploded.
At the mine offices it is said that
the workings are not materially dam.
aged and that the mine will be ship
ping its usual output within four OF
five days.

QUIET AT VLADIVOSTOK.

Damage During Roting Estimated at
Ten Million Roubies.
Vladivostok, Dec. 4.-Quiet was re.
stored two days following the initia-
ton of disturbances. Representative
business men agree with officials that
there is no probability of recurrence
The damage is estimated at 1O,O0O,OOO
roubles, mostly in buildings destroyed
by fire. A small percentage of this
sum represents the destruction Of
merchandise. Thirty-hve steamers
were awaiting the discharge OF their
cargOes at the time of the riots. In
doubtedly the riots were precipitated
by the excited condition OF the troops
and sailors consequent upon the mass
meetings held by citizens to celebrate
the emperOr's liberty proclamation,
the enthusiasm at the mass meetings
being accentuated and taken advan-
tage of by the revolutionary elements
to incite the military to acts of hood
lumism, resulting in riots.
There is an unusual influx of rep
resentatives Of American commercial
interests to Vladivostok.
