Three Delhi places of business were
broken into last week. Though the
goods taken were not of great value,
the fact that this was a repetition of
similar burglaries caused the owners
to call Sheriff ]. J. Pentony and d.
rect him to secure bloodhounds from
Waterloo. The dogs were given the
scent about noon Friday. but did not
locate the guilty persons 1t is the
belief of the authorities that this was
the work of Delhi young men. but
none have been apprehended. From
E r. Stone they took a fashlight and
some pocket knives. From Fred Doo-
little and L. A. Jennings they took
things that indicated the robbers were
more interested in getting ma terial for
a banqut than anything of permanent
value.

MARRIAGE IN AIR.
Ffve-Day Law Holds Up Diclz-Astor
 Nuptials

Bar Harbor, Me, June 19.-Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor, widow of John Jacob Astor, and William K. Dick filed notice of their intention to mar ry with the town clerk of Eden on Saturday, it became known here yes- terday. In accordance with the pro- visions of the Maine law that live days must elapse between that filing of intention and the marriage ccre- mony, the wedding cannot take place before Thursday. It is possible that the wedding will be sOlemnized in New York before that day.
 It was said that the original in- tention was to have the wedding at the Astor country home here On MOn- day, and that announcement cards bearing that date had already been printed. Discovery of the provision of the Maine law requiring five days intermission between the filing of in tention and the ceremony made a postponement necessary.
 Plans for the wedding were in definite, it was said, but there is a possibility that Mrs. Astor and MT. Dick will leave for New York before Thursday to avoid the M lenlapostp Thursday to avoid the Maine laws re- striction and have the cerem ony be- fore that day.

tion by which the beverage liquor traffic shall be abolished came before the house of representatives in con- gress year ago last December and,
 counting the pairing off of votes, got majority of thirteen votes, an actual
 majority of eight; and from each of thirty states a majority of the repre- sentatives voted favorably. That res-
 olution is sure to pass congress in the
 not distant future, and it will not be
 long after that when the necessary
 thirty-six states will ratify the amend
 ment, thus giving us national consti-
 tutional, nonpartisan prohibition.

 Tn the providence of God one of the factors in the decline of drink is the ] new emphasis by medical science of
 the fact that alcohol is a poison. The
 new list of drugs published by the l National Druggists association omits
 all medicines (fOrmerly so-considered) 1 containing alcohol. In keeping with
 this is the fact that the New England 1 Mutual Life Insurance company re- ports that during the insured period of l their lives, it's insured who were total abStainers had a death rate not quite half that of it's moderate drinkers And this report is borne out by the 1 findings of forty three great life in surance companies that have made in vestigations.
 Also, business conditions are nightly helping us. The tremendous [ financial cost and loss due to drink
 are coming to be understood and are causing people to think and to act accordingly. Take the situation in l your own town as an eXample Situation in New Britain. New Britain had last year sixty ! five liquor and beer licenses. With

In an address in the Stanley Memor- ial church, New Britain, Sunday morning, Rev. Walteer E. Lanphear, field secretary of the Connecticut Temperance Union, spoke in substance as fOlloWs
 '"The saloon and the liquor traffic are to the drink evil what a tree with it's roots and branches are to the fruit; destroy the tree, root and branch, and you thereby destroy the fruit. This is the philosophy of our special fight against the organized liquor traffic.
 ''The legalized saloon has already gone from more than eighty per cent. of our national territory, including eighty-nine towns in our own state.
 ''In two years before the present the production of distilled liquors fell off more than 53,OOO,O0O gallons, and of beer, more than 6,0OO,OOO' barrels. Last year 108 distilleries and Al breweries closed up. Of all daily pa pers in the country, more than one third (S40) refuse to print liquor ad- vertisements.
 An increase this year of about 10, 100000 gallons in production of dis | titled liquors is much more. than ac- counted for in the increase of about 5,OO0,O00 gallons used for the man ufacture of explosives and in the 1n- crease of about 12,000,0 900 gallons eX- ported. An increase in revenue from such liquors this year, reported by the secretary of the treasury, is, accord ing to the same report, very largely accounted for by the activities of the government in collecting taxes fraud ulently withheld by the distillers and warehouses. This explains recent press items claiming great increases in liquors and revenues inspired by the liquor organizations for the sake of keeping up business confidence, enabling some of them to go out of business while the going is good
