Drink Got Him.

William Binnings, known in Bow
cry lodging houses as the Duke of
Montreal" tall, handsome man of
commanding presence, although
showing Enthusiastically the marks of
years of dissipation, was found dead
in his bed in the Vigilant Hotel, a
lodging house at No. 119 Bowery .
His death was undoubtedly the re-
suit of hard drinking, just as his
downfall from a gentleman's estate
came from the same cause, for that
the Duke of Montreal" was a gen.
tleman there can be no question. 1t
was because of his manner and evil
dent education that Bowery lodging
house habitues gave him a title.
From friends who had known him
in better days, when he was a man
among men. a little history of his
life was obtained yesterday He was
born in Stirling, Scotland, sixty-one
years ago. His family was a good
one and he received a first class edu-
cation, finally being graduated with
honors from Edinburg University.
After leaving the university he went
to Canada and obtained junior
clerkship in the Bank of Montreal,
of which institution his cousin, Rich
ard B. Angus, was then the general
manager
Binnings rose rapidly and finally
was promoted to a high place in the
bank and commanded a large salary.
But he had formed drinking habits
and at last lost his position. His dis
charge from the bank, where he had
worked several years, brought him
to a realization of what his habits
would lead to and he stopped drink
ing.
He obtained a good position with
the st. Paul and Manitoba Railroad
through the influence of some of his
relatives, who were large stockhold-
ers in the road, but after little he
began drinking again and lost his
place once more.
He drifted to St. Louis and became
clerk in a packing house, but lost
the job through drink. Then he
found what work he could at odd
jobs and finally reached this city,
where he had many friends. Some
of them persuaded him to brace up
again and he did so and became an
accountant with a Wall street firm.
He did not hold the place long, for
the appetite for strong drink was
SUCH tudl ne Edu HOl lHe Will power
to resist it.
Then he cut loose from his old
friends and sank lower and lower in
the social scale, at last becoming O.
regular hanger-on in Bowery saloons
and sleeping, when he had the price,
in a fifteen-cent lodging-house bed.
Now and then he would brace up for
a few days and then would address
envelopes for the Business Address
ing Company, No. 3 Barclay street,
the president of which, w. H. Par
sons. had known Binnings for more
than forty years.
Mr.. Parsons was shocked to hear
Of his death yesterday and said he
had telegraphed to the dead mans
relatives in Canada to ask what dis
position 'ney wanted made of the
body
"Binnings came of an excellent
family" said Mr. Parsons. "Tbey

service. He was a gentleman, charm

case is the saddest that ever came

Effects on Circulation and Nervous
System.

With regard to the circulation, al
cohol produces an increased heart
beat, a fuller pulse, and a redder
skin. 1t calls upon the reserve pow
er Of the organ, but the moment the
effect has passed off. the action of
the heart is actually weakened. Con-
sequently, the temporary effect Is
produced at an unfortunate cost.
Then there is its action on the CEN
tral nervous system. Here, writes
an authority, ut acts directly on the
nerve cells as a functional poison. I"
It first stimulates the nervous sys-
TEN and then depresses 1t. and, as
with other poisonG which act upon
this part OF the body, the higher cen
tres are affected first. They become
a little dull-a little less quick and
acute. 1t may be very trifling, but
there 1t is; so that the man who does
his work on alcohol-even on mod.
crate amounts not at his best.

The Ioftiest Service.

We are always wanting wings to
fly with in Gods service. and we have
only hands and feet. The Lord Jesus
Christ comes into the world to teach
us, by those thirty years of life as the
carpenter, that the loftiest service of
God can be lived out in the lowliest
conditions-that to do ones work
honestly and thoroughly and cheer
fully is as much the service of God as
the life OF the angels before His
throne.-Rev. Mark Gray Pearse.

mo. NEVER ALONE"

Written on the passage, Hebrews 1856: :"
will never leave thee nor forsake thee.D
I've seen the lightning flashing.
And heard the thunder roll;
I've felt sins breakers dashing,
Almost they whelmed my soul.
I've heard the voice of Jesus,
He bade me still go on
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone
The worlds fierce winds are blowing,
Temptations sharp and keen,
| feel a peace in knowing
My Saviour stands between.
He is my shield in danger,
When other friends are gone;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alone.
When in affliction's valley
| tread the road of care,
My Saviour helps me carry
My cross when hard to bear.
Ny feet, when torn and bleeding,
My body tired and worn,
Then Jesus whispers His promise
Never to leave me alone.
He died on Calv'rys mountain,
And there they pieced His side.
And there He opened that fountain,
The crimson, cleansing tide.
For me He waits in glory,
Now seated on His throne;
He promised never to leave me,
Never to leave me alon"

.ellen Pleads
for Cooperation
Railroad President Also Reiterates
Statement that High Wages
Breed Poor Service.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. S1.-Mutual
cooperation and Information as to the
work Of his company for it's employees were
the themes Of a brief speech tonight of
President Mellen of the New York. New
Haven g. Hartford Railroad company at
the union convention of the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen and Englnemen.
Mr.. Mellen began by calling attention Of
the existence Of a new and unheralded
labor Organization Ian Connecticut named
the Association of Railroad President of
the state, of which he himself was presi-
dent, treasurer, secretary and a large ma
jority of the members.
He wanted. as we'll as his men. a ten
hour day. he wanted doubled pay for over
time; and II the men would help him he
promised to help them and said they should
work as fellow employees together.
Think it over" said Mr.. Mellen. Lets
join hands. because If we don't work to-
gether we are both liable to get damaged"
President Mellen referred to the proposed
employers liability act. which, he said, II
it must come, should come by degrees. He
called attention to the fact, almost I'M
known, and never appearing in the news
paper, that his corporation had a pension
fund of 200 names, paying out 100000 a
year, to which no empioye had to pay a
cent. He referred to a statement which he
had made to a former stockholders meet
ing which had excited hostile criticism
namely. this statement that higher wages
breed poor service), and while not receding
from that general statement, he said that
now no better set of railroad men existed,
in efficiency and morale. than those who
had just brought his company through a
period of acute adversely, and he expressed
the hope that in theif future relation with
the property they would be -considerate and
not seek too large a piece of 1t.
