from the other warships to the aid of
the Liberte sank when the final ex-

the warship. A piece of armorplate
was hurled against the cruiser Re
publique with great force, damaging |
her plates and causing her to dock |
hurriedly.
Scores of bodies were hurled high |

TEMPERANCE LECTURE
Given by Rev. w. E. Bates for w. C.
T u

The temperance lecture given under
the auspices of the W. c. T. U. in the
Baptist church Sunday evening by
Rev. w. E. Bates of Mystic was one
of the best ever heard here. His text
was taken from Exodus xxi:2S, which
states that an OK which pushes with
its horn shall be put to death, and if
the owner is aware that he does so,
he also shall be put to death.
He compared the OK to the saloon.
telling ways in which it pushes with
it's horns. The owners are many from
the laws and officials which license
The saloon down to the voter who
votes No and then goes to sleep and
wakes up once a year to have another
spasn. he said emphatically that he
knew some places where it would be
better to vote Yes than No, and make
such farce of enforcing the no-li-
cense law. An official who violated
his oath was a liar and a criminal
and the voters who voted No should
see that NO" officials held the offices
OF the town and state. He finally said
it came down to bones, wishbones,
and wishes the saloon might so and
wishes that there should be no license
and that's as far as he goes :~w-
bones, the man who does q lot of talk
ing and that's all, and backbone, the
man who backs up his vote by his
work. The way it is known that the
owner is aware that the OK pushes
with It's horn is because there are rags
upon the horns. There are rags upon
the horn Of the saloon. such as selling
10 minors. selling on election day, and
other violations of the law.
