In the first book of the Kings of
Israel we read this bit of history, "In
the twenty aud sixth year of Asa,

Baasba TO reign over Israel in Tirzah,
and he reigned two years. And
his servant Zimri, captain of half
his chariots, conspired against him,

his stead"
Here is the picture of king. rul-

drink, and his kingdom taken by his
servant. 1t is the picture of every
drunkard. God has placed US here
as kings. To every man he has
given a kingdomz~the kingdom of
his own self. His appetites and

ing. One Of the saddest consequences
of strong drink that l know of, is
that charged by Isaiah against the
drunken priests and prophets of his
own time: "They err in vision, they
stumble in Judgment" Strong drink
distorts the whole view of life. Every
man has his visions. Strong drink
dIstorts those visions. He sees in
correctly. He misses the great, large
outlook upon life, the universe, aud
God. His large relationships are
wrongly adjusted. I know of moth.

that he cannot always figure COR

BAY STEAMERS MOVING.
saptainS and Mates Min Their
Tw0-weekS' FIGHT.

Saturday Light street returned to
Its usual trafflc-choked conditions.
The bay tie-up was broken Friday
night shortly after IL O'Clock, when
captain Thomson and his counsel
and committee of the masters and
pilots, composed of Captains Geog-
hogan, James Gourley aud TAYLOR.
accompanied by their counsel, made
a final agreement as to settlement.
The settlement of the tie-up was
practically complete victory for
the mariners. Captain Thomson as
sented to the terms first proposed by
the committee from the masters and
pilots. The question of the men be-
longing to the Association, all along
the bone of contention, was judici-
ously left out of the conversation
leading up to the settlement.
RATE OF PAY AGREED ON.
The basis of the agreement, as
submitted by the committee of CAP
tains, was as following:
First-That the following rate of
wages should be paid: (a) That Capt.
William Geoghegan and Capt. James
Gourley should each receive wages
at the rate of $3.50 a month. (b) On
the Chester river and Claiborne lines
the masters to be paid $1OO each a
month, the first officers sos each q
month and the second officers S45
each month. (c) On the Choptank
River Line the masters to be paid
$l15 each month, the first officers
$40 each a month and the second
officers $50 each month. (d) On
all lines running below Cove Point
Except Capt. Geoghegan and Capt.
James Gourley), masters to be paid
$l25 each month, the first officers
$50 each month and the second of
ficer$6O each n month. (e)All licensed
quartermasters to be paid $50 each a
month. (D All officers are to receive
full pay at all times when on duty.
Second-All men are to return to
the positions which they formerly
held at the rate of wages above stated.
kThird-No subordinate officer
shall be employed on any steamer
without the consent Of the master of
said steamer.
, In the matter of the third section
q concession was made by the men,
and the subordinate positions are to
besflled by mutual agreement of the
Company and the captains. After
this basis had been settled the cues.
tion of pay for the last two weeks
was taken up and the Com pany
asked as to when the increased paw
would begin. Captain Thomson
said that the men should receive
wages for the last two weeks at the
old rate and that the new scale
should 60 into effect that DAY. Can't.
Thomson also won his point of deal
ing with his men and not the New
York committee.
Before leaving the city for New
York the executive committee called
upon MIR. Clarence Shriver, general
agent of the New York and Balti-
more Transportation Company, re-
questing an answer to petition for
higher wage scale for his masters
and pilots. This petition was
handed In at the same time as the
one to Captain Thomson, but def
mite action was deferred until after
the matter of the Chesapeake bay
steamboat companies had been set
tied. Mr. Shriver informed: the
committee that the matter of grant
ing the increase was to be taken up by
Gen'l Man'g'r Groves at Philadelphia.
