DIR. Taylor's Lectures.
/ GERS always pays.

. d.
The FIVE lectures delivered by
Dr.. E. 0. Taylor upon Temper
ancs an and Christian Citizenship
We're M the :sblest, most cS cSncise, most
logical. most forceful, moat con
vinsing utterances ever ID deliyered
before Edgefeld audiences.
The key position taken by.Dr.
Taylor in his lecture was that
Ialcohol, which is the essential
property of all alcoholic liquors
and the only thing in them for
which men drink them, is the ex-
screment of the yeast microbe,
otherwise called archaeological
bug iuicens and lis a poison and
not, g. food: ;that5as a poison it is
hoth q narcotic and an irritant,
that as narcotic it is in -the
classification with opium, NOR.
phine, chloral and cocaine, aud
that therefore it should be put2to
such uses only as are suited to
it's nature, and be legislated upon
with as much care and restriction
as ara exercised concert ng the
drugs with which it is properly
classified. This, he afirms, is the
only solution of the liquor prob
lem, because it. is, thoroughly sci
enti6c and incontrovertible.
From this point of view he
reached the following conclusions:
81. There is /: nosmore reason in
modern science for thesbeverage
use of talcobolic-zliquor than for
the beverage suse ofaopium, NOR lta
phine or cocaine.
"2. The appetite for liquor is as
abnormal, upsclenti6c and in
excusable as is the eappatitesof the
morphine fend.
SO. The moderate use of alcohol
ia as unsafe in begetting all un-
,controllable appetite as the moder-
ate use Of. cocaine in Coca 60 a,
which Dr.. Taylor declareds the
courts have called in question as;
a. safe beverages although only one
four.hundredthf Of q grain of CO.
cainezwasZnsed aSin every glass of
Coca Cola.
~. There is ro reason in mod
ern science for the legalizatioD of
the sale of liquor for beverage
purposes than for the legaliz alton
for the same epurpose of morphine.
"5. A saloon orr dispensary is,
therefore, as much out of place in
modern civilization as would be
an opium joint or cocaine den.
.6.. The policy off regulation by.
taxation of he liquor traffic and
2thssuse of this money for civic
purposes is aa unworthy of in
tei!igent people as would be a
similar policy if the drug in ques-
tion were cocaine.
81. The common argument, viz:
They will have it anyhow and
therefore let's get some money out
oft to lespen taxes ls as con-
temptib'e as would Sbe the same
argument concerning morphine.
S.: SS. violator ofsa,prohlbition
7llduor law is aa much of a crimina
deserving punishment, as weu'd
be the seller pf morphine or CO.
caine TO q miserable slave toeithp.r
sof those drugs-known as fend.
.'9. The sentiment of commu-
nifty should be as intelligent and
in enforcing prohibition Z #
4he ealetof liquor as for the en-
.forcsment of any drug law.
..lO. The p .osecuilon Of offandT
4ers for violating liquor laws is as
.justifiable and necessary for the
protection of,he homes of g com:
5munitys as is. the prosecution OF
offenders Of other laws prohibit
ing the sale of poiaons. =

WHERE LINCOLN PUT THE
 WHETSTyONF

It Is related that at one time Presi- dent Lincoln was conversing with an arlstocratic American lady about the United States, when she remarked: q love my country, of course, but am much grieved that there are so many common people in it." He replied: But, madam, think how God must have loved them: he made so many of them"
 IA soldier at whose house when a boy Lincoln paused in his tramps in Illinois and who loaned him a whetstone to sharpen his jackknife, met him during the war, in Washington: Lincoln re- membered the incident and spoke of the use of the whetstone.
 "Ya-a-s," drawled out the old soldier. ''Whatever did you do with the whet- stone? never could find it. We lowed mebbe you took it along with you" No-no. I put it on top of the gatepost-that high one" "Mebbe you did; nobody else could have reached it, and none of us ever thought to look there for it." There it was found where it was placed fifteen years be- fore. The soldier reported the fact to the President.-Boston Post.

 C. Strobel of New Haven Died at Sol~ diers' Home-Was of Twenty-seventh, c. V.
 Constantine Strobel, the oldest veter- an at Fitch's Soldiers home, Noroton, died June IA, aged ninety-six years. The funeral will be held this morning at o'clock, and the burial will be in Spring Grove cemetery.
 Thedeceased was without doubt one of the oldest veterans in New England. Death was due to old age.
 Until a short time ago MT. Stro3el was quite hearty in spite os his ad vaneed years. He was ninety-six years old June l. He has always been an ob- ject of interest to visitors at the home, most of whom were surprised at his vitality.
 MT. Strobel was born in Baden-Ba- den, Germany, June 1, 1910. He enlist ed at New Haven September ?, 1862, He was mustered into the United States Service October IS, 1862 He was a member of Company K, Twenty sew enth, c. V. l.

minds regarded as educated come keep their thoughts employed steadf lastly on the various objects and pro4 blems of matter, mind and life. The faculty of attention is strilzingly lackg ing in the savage man; it increases as civilization increases, and is largs factor in the advace of civilization and of culture.
 When the power of attention is excep1 tional in the individual he is set apart from his fellows; he is genius in tho business world, or perhaps a poet.i artist, inventor, discoverer, philosopher reformer, statesman or conuueror, When the power of attention in d community has been stimulated by onaI attentive mind or by group of atten+ tive minds the world passes through epriods of great mental activity; great reforms take place; there is great ma-i terial or intellectual advance; or ther( are revivals in letters and in the plass tic arts.
 The supreme object of the teacher is to cultivate attention in his or her. charges. When a child has learned to pay attention he has learned how to study and to learn. Object lessons' are favorite devices for fixing attention According to the orthodox theologiea religion has been taught to mankind largely through object lessons, in the form sometimes of progressive revelaS tions;" and the systems of symbols in all religions may be called simply foti fixing the wandering attention of souls for their sustenance and lasting beneS l fit.
 We see, year in and out, the comfnaD and going of beliefs customs, poplai heroes or mere popular pets: best seln lers among books; sports, movementsl and fads of all kinds, which t1gurs| prominently only as long as they ard | able to claim the attention of largd! groups of the entire community Ind whole system of business advertising and the infinite number of publicity de4i artments--pubicity as to all sortal of wares and all manner of causes-are nothing but means of securing atten4i ton, of spreading information and in4l ducing action through suggestion.- .-4i Century Magazine.

NEW ELECTRIC PROJECTS.

Consolidated Railway to Electrify
 Steam Tracks Between New Haven
 and Waterbury.
 The Consolidated Railway company has authorized the survey of a line be- tween Mount Carmel and Cheshire, a distance of about seven miles, the new line running as a double track to the Northampton steam road between the two points. This is preliminary to the identification of that part of the Wa terbury and Meriden branch which runs eight miles between Cheshire and Wa terbury. When the electrification of the two roads is completed there will be a local service between New Haven and Mt. Carmel and between the latter point and Waterbury, an express electric ser vice on a line with low grades and few stops.
 The practical effect of this, it is stat ed authoritatiyely, will be to reduce the present trolley service time between New Haven and Waterbury to about o1le-half what 1t is at present.

THE CIGAR TROUBLES.
Conference Between Employers and Employees Expected to Take Place vTor,orrovp

Conference Between Employers and
 Employees Expected to Take Place
 Tomorrow.
 A conference, it is understood, has been arranged for Sunday afternoon between committees representing the striking cigarmakers and several of the large manufacturers, when the strike question will be discussed and possibly an adjustment reached.
 At Union hall yesterday morning, where the shippers make their head quarters during the present strike, all thoughts of the strike were lost in an- tielpation of the ball game between teams from the Carpenters and Cigar makers unions, the proceeds of which go towards assisting the girls in their struggle for higher wages.
 The cigarmakers' strike promises to be more serious for the manufacturers to cope with than the shippers prob lem, Where there are 150 shippers idle there are 400 cigarmaBers on strike, and it is claimed that business is tied up and large orders waiting to be filled. A prominent manufacturer said last evening that the bosses were driven to the linic, and all that was left was to stand pat and fight the demands as unreasonable and unjust. Advance aft CT advance in wages has been given in the last ten years, until now the mar gin of profit was very small The men were said to be unreasonable-aske too much. Expert cigarmakers coulu ma&e over $40 week. The shippers demand for $9 per week for all shippers, poor ones and good ones, was excessive. Some inexpert shippers were not worth $4 per week, as they damaged more goods in handling sometimes than their wages amounted to. Only skilled strip pers could handle the outside wrappers He added that F per cent. had been cut off the profits of the manufacturers by the advance in wages made during the last ten years, and the profit now on goods was small. He said the demands
 made would not be aceeded to.

THH POWER OF ATTENTION.

When Exceptional It Results in Genius
 or in Great Accomplishments.
 The fact that the mind of man is eaisly distracted from any object in contemplation accounts for the slow ness of the development of most minds, and for the extreme slowness of the development of the human mind collec- lively. There are historical periods when general enlightenment seems to have advanced by leaps andi bounds; but when one takes cognizance of ti'e tens of thousands of years that man has been at play in the kinderparten of creation one is aware of the very gradual and deliberate character of hu- man process as a whole, and this delib- eration of growth and the remains of ignorance and superstition even in
