Company, at the Belasco. headed by
Miss Charlotte Walker, realized that
they were not to get their fun salaries
fer the week or any OF their two weeks

ton with her associates and with an
attorney, Miss Walker decided that she
would appear during the present week
under her own mana cement in order
that the members of the company
might recoup their losses as far as pos
sible
The financial embarrassment, ii is
said, has come about through the losses
sustained by Mr.. Page in his PiJtsburg
company and reverses of a less serious
nature with the Standing Stock Com
pany. He used the profits accruing
from the opening week of Miss Walkers
company 10 make good his losses in

pear words that apparently form part
of a letter to a Chicago newspaper
quoting ''Lamon, a Lincoln historian
the writer says Lincoln himself drank
spirituous liquors in moderation, Moth
ing to his discredit-and, further, that
he disliked sumptuary laws (prohibi-
tion?) and would not prescribe by
statute what other men should eat or
drink
Of course, Mr.. Editor, the whole
world knows that the great President
named, he who lowered so high above
the ordinary man, was far too just
and wise to desire to prescribe by
statute what other men should eat or
drink, but the abnegative characteris-
tics of the man are well shown in
words quoted in a letter addressed to
you seven years ago. Let me now ask
for their reinsertion in your columns
together with the striking lines of one
who for many long years made these
Islands his home:
Arabian Lincoln, one of the nohlest
men called by the people to the pres
idential chair of these United States,
gave utterance before the Washington
Society at Springfield, Ill, to the fol-
lowing words: 1.-THE cause itself (tem-
perance) seems suddenly transformed
from cold, abstract theory, to liv-
ing, breathing, active and powerful
chieftain, going forth 'conquering and
to conquer The citadels of his great
adversary are daily being stormed. his
temples and his affairs where the rites
of his idolatrous worship have long
been performed, and where human sac
rifice has long been wont ito be made,
are daily desecrated and deserted.
What one of us but can call to mind
some relative who has fallen
a sacrifice to his rapacity? He ever
seems to have gene forth like the
Egyptian angel of death to slay, if
not the first, the fairest born-of every
family Shall he. now be arrested in
his \desoIating career? In that arrest,
ALL can give aid that will; and who
shall be excused that can, and will not,
aid? Far around as human breath has
ever blown, he keeps our fathers, our
brothers, our sons, and our friends
PROSTATE in the chains of moral death.
To all the living everywhere, we cry,
Come sounds the trump, that there
may rise up an exceeding great army!
Come from the four winds, 0 breath!
and breathe,upon these slain that they
may liver"
Speaking of the revolution of rs, the

able man, said: But with all these
glorious results, past, present and to
come, it has it's evils, too. 1t breathed
