well-known Presbyterian minister, Rev.
DR.. F. NJ. Brooke, of Romney, w. Va.
was fatally burned at her home there on
Monday evening, June "a. While ling
gasoline stove, there was an explosion,
and the screams ofthe young lady brought
members of her family and friends to her
assistance. She was found enveloped in
flames, which were promptly extingush-
ed. DR.. Claybrook and other physicians
were soon upon the scene ofthe appalling
accident, but il was seen Immediately
that there was no hope. All that lay
within their power was to administer
restoratives, and alleviate her terrible
agony. On Tuesday night death brought
her merciful relief. Miss Brooke's father,

The saloon business cannot exist with
out slaves. You may smile at that state
ment, but it is absolutely true. Is not
the man who is addicted to the drink
habit a slave There can be no question
about it. There are 1000, 900 such slaves
in the United States. They are slaves OF
the saloon. They 60 out and work a
week or a month, draw their pay, 60
into the saloonand hand the saloonkeeper
their money for something which ruins
their own lives. Is not this slavery ?
Has there ever been in the history of the
world worse system OF slavery Think
of 900, 900 men, enSlaved by the liquor
habit, carrying their earnings TO the Sa-
loonkeepers every day in the year. 1t is
quite natural. OF course, that the slave
holder should not care to liberate these.
