LOST THROUGH DRINK,
Sad History Of Young Mems Club
One Saw His Peril and Cult.

Forty years ago, In a certain col
lege, six young men formed them
selves into a society, partly literary
and partly for good fellowship" They
were all good writer's, and at their
weekly meeting each had a compost,
ton Of his own. Then they all drank
together, until they were hardly able
to find their way to their rooms.
One of those men has recently told
friend that, after three or four
months of this association, he discov-
cred that from a condition In which
he had to force himself to drink, hav-
ing no natural taste for liquor, he
found that he was getting to like II.
and to long for it, and he had COM
mon sense enough to cut himself loose
at once from his club" membership
The others went on, and the annals
Of our colleges contain no sadder story
than theirs. One Of them died In New
York few years ago, noted for his
wit and his learning, but a slave to
his appetite. 1t was said that every
night he retired to his library and,
with bottle beside him, drank him
self into Inconsistencies. At the
early age of 3S he was found there
one morning dead.
Another one walks the streets Of
the metropolis, picking up an uncer-
tain living with his once brilliant pen.
His face and person are revolving to
behold, his clothes are In tatters. he
has lost all self-respect and honor-s
shame and a disgrace to his college
and his country.
Two of the others lived In obscurity
until they were past 80. when they
dropped into drunkards' graves. The
one who broke of was the only one
who has ever arrived at distinction or
has been of any service to the world

Revival Meetings at Church of Christ
Last Sunday morning Evangelist VIM
A. Ward Of st. Louis, Mo-, began series
Of evangelistic meetings at the Church Of
Christ. In his Introductory remarks he
warned persons who wear their sensibili-
ties on the surface that he would certainly
brush against them. Those who we're
going about with chips on their shoulders
would surely have them knocked off.
His first sermon was a-powerful appeal
to the church. Christians should live
true to the principles Of the teachings OF
Christ and make no compromise with the
world. Profssssd Christians who lead
inconsistent lives are menace to the
church. They cripple or destroy the in
fluence Of the church for good.
To Christians he said "You are the
church. II you are weak the church is
weak; IL you are strong the church is
strong" Mr.. Ward does not hesitate to
rebuke sin in the church as well as out
Of it.
Through some error very misleading
statement was made in the papers last
week regarding the character Of Mr..
Wards preaching. It did him great injus-
tice. 1t is this; From first to last there
is no excitement Of thought It should
have been, From first to last there is no
excitement Of feeling but powerful in
element Of thought" You will under
stand that statement after hearing him.
Mr.. Ward is strong prsacher-fearless,
forceful, convincing. The people OF Beld-
ing who have not already heard him
should not remain away from the meet
ings another night.
At 3 o'clock next Sunday afternoon a
special lecture will DO given in the church.
Subjsct, The Parent and the Child.
Begin now to plan to hear it. ATT o'clock
Sunday evening the subject to be discussed
is Gods Message TO . Lost World"
Come early To get good seat.
The meetings will continue every night
next week beginning at 1850.

Liquor Revenue on the Decrease.

According to figures given out re-
Gently by the chairman of the nation
al Prohibition party in the United
States, remarkable decrease In the
production and sale of intoxicating
beverages throughout the whole of the
United States, took place during the
recent months of July and August.
Nearly $1,000,0O0 a day Is the esti-
mated decrease, which Is based on
official figures received from the in
ternal revenue department at Wash
ington.
The chief evils of the New York "a
loon to-day, according to A. H. Glea-
son, in his article In Golfers Week
ly, are:
1. 1t corrupts the police force.
g. 1t offers hospitality to crime and
criminals.
8. 1t forms an alliance with politics.
A. 1t concentrates the social evil.
8. 1t sells impure and injurious
drinks.
These evils pertain to saloons not
only in a great city but In smaller
places. The principal reason, says he,
for the existence of these evils II that
the average saloon, II run straight and
In accordance with the law, would not
pay expenses. So the dealer supports
his family on the profits of illegitimate
side lines.
Terrible are these side lines, and
yet II the saloonkeeper tries to obey
the law he not only suffers loss In
his business but is bounded by others
In the calling, and made to suffer In
still other ways. The dealer who tries
to be upright has a hard time OF It.
He gets but little sympathy, and the
way is so rough that he IL likely to
give up and say in despair: What ia
the use of my trying to run this bust
ness different from the way other men
run It?
Some of the revelations OF the do
ings Of the saloon are 80 frightful that
they seem incredible. Thus II is de-
clared that certain New York saloons
have supplies of choral hydrate on
hand to administer to unsuspecting
persons who have been beguiled there
for purposes OF robbery or worse.
Some saloons are so freQuented by
criminals that the stranger who drops
in for drink may not get out again
easily.
Then also there are other places
where the liquids sold as whiskey and
brandy are wood alcohol mixed with
strong drugs for color and flavor.
The indictment presented by this
article In Golfers is SO dreadful that
we might think it's writer was draw
ing upon his own Imagination II he
did not give the dates and figures.
Sodom and Gomorrahf
Were worse conditions there than
In some of our modern Christian
citiesI
The difference Is that nearly all the
people In those old time places were
satisfied to have the evil stay. but,
thank God, some I'm our modern cities
are doing all they can to have 1t 20.

REBELS GAIN VICTORY.
Nicaragua Loses One Hundred Dead
and Three Hundred Injured.

| nicaragua Loses One f1undred DeaC
and Three Hundred Injured.
Bluefelds, Mic, Oct. 26.-The tug
| Blance, which arrived here from Grey
town, brings news of the first import
ant battle of the revolution. General
Chamorro's army fought an engage
ment on Friday with 1000 of President
Zelaya's troops at point below Boca
San Carlos on the San Juan river.
The revolutionists won a decisive
victory, 100 of the government troops
being killed and 800 wounded. Gen
cal Chamorro's losses were slight.
The insurgents captured two Krupp
siege guns and 400 rifles.
The defeat doubtless will have a de-
terrent effect in recruiting for the gov
ernment service at Managua, and is
likely also to bring additional rein
forcements to the standards of the in
surgents.
The steamer Yulu, belonging to the
Emory company, also has reached here
with the details of the capture by the
revolutionists of Cape Gratias Dos.
This point was easily taken, not more
than five or six men being killed, and
small number wounded. This gives
the revolutionists control of the entire
Atlantic coast.
