TEMPERANCE ADDRESSES

On Saturday and Monday evenings
Revs. J. j. D. Hall, of Philadelphia,
and J. A. Falconer, D. D., of Balti-
more, made temperance addresses to
large crowds in Cochran Square.
Both these gentlemen arraigned the
saloons in savage terms as the authors
of all that was evil and vile and naught
that was good Mr.. Hall was as pep
perry and witty as in his famous ad-
dress last June in Old st. Anne's. He
used many happy figures of speech in
illustrating his argument.
DR.. Faiconer's address was bitterly
denunciatory of the saloon, the most
scathing, blistering expose of the
cursed rum business and the saloon ever
heard in Middletown. The Rev. Doctor
avowed himself Democrat, that ha was
born IN Kentucky, all his family Demo-
Gratis, and then without mercy sailed
into the local candidates who had
lodged the questions asked them by
the ladies' of the three societies.
Coming from a lifelong Democrat,
his pitiless indictment of his own party
candidates for their stand on the liquor
question, was all the more convincing
and unanswerable. These gentlemen
made votes for the "drys." A Will
mington band was present when DR..
Falconer spoke.
