The Temperance Meetine
About two dozen were in attendance at the temperance meeting at Y.M.C.A. hall yesterday afternoon, to hear Dr. Q. S. Burroughs, on one of the questions that is old but ever new. Dr. Bur roughs' talk, for such it was, was a plain, practical common sense presentation of the question. It was full of Christian sympathy for the erring and a strong appeal for hearty co-operation on the part of all Christian churches in tbe work of reforming men and lifting them up to a higher and better life.

UNLOADS IT ON CONGRESS
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND TRANSMITS
A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Acknowledges That flis Attempt to Re
store the Queen Has Been a Flat Failure.
Special to The Journal, W AsmxciTON.December18.—President Cleveland sent his Hawaiian messnge to Congress this afternoon, lie states that when the present itdiuioistra!ion entered upon its duties the Semite was considering the treaty providing for tho annexation of the Islands. This he considers a departure from unbroken American tradition. The provisional government has neither the sanction of popular revolution nor suffrage. Referring to President Harrison's message that United States troops had taken no part in the events of January 14, 15, and 17, 1893, Mr. Cleveland refers to the protest of the Queen whose truth,he 6Bys, was never investigated. Commissioner Blount is upheld and the statement made that both President Harrison and the SenRte were misled by ex.Minister Stevens who was •earnestly in favor of annexation and "was not conveniently scrupulous as to means applied to that end." There was but little pretense tor landing troops for the protection of American iuter ests. The United States forces took possession without consent or wishes of the Islands or anybody else, and the occupation of January 16 sva? wholly without justification." Believing this to be true, the President refuses to again submit the annexation treaty to tbe Senate'. He is of the opinion that the act of war committed with participation of the American Minister •ipon a ve«k nalion called for reparation, therefore he suggested a peaceful adjustment upon terms providing for elemtney and justice to till parties concerned. Tne past should be buried and this Queen restored. Hia overtures proved cot acceptable to the Queen, however. Unfavorable public misrepresentations, the President ssys, have injured prospects of successful executive mediation and he therefore wishes the legislative branch of tha government to settle the difficulty.
American Citizenship.
The lecture of Waloer Sims at the Y. M. C. A. hall on Saturday evening was attended by a small audience, the number being present being less than that at the Rudoiph lecture. In every respect the lecture was greatly superior to Prof. Rupolph's. His subject, "Amerioan Citizenship," was an inspiring theme and the lecturer gave full rein to his ability ae an orator in presenting the power, the glory and the grandeur that surround the uncrowned kings of this glorious Republic. He made a strong Bppsal to the people to see to it that tbe civil and religious institutious of our country shonld be maintained against the encroachment of all insidious foes, either from within or without, from political or ecclesiastical.
While he was a Democrat he said that he spoke neither as Democrat nor a Republican, but as an Atrorican citizen in behalf of the preservation of American institutions, especially the public school system, which hud grown with our growth aud strengthened with our strength. To-night ho leotureB at the same place on "The American Protective Association at the Polls."

A BUNGLING CROOK
ATTEMPS TO DEFKAUD ALL THE ORAffFORDSVILLE BANKS.
Louis Paquat, AH&s Furbor, Alias Gerlack,
Alias Soholler, Alias Pfrefencer, Alias Gorber, Lands in Jail.
Mr. Louie Paquet, of 737 Davis street, Chicago, is in the Crawfordsville jail and thereby hungs a tale. About two weeks ago a young man about twenty years of age, with a smooth face aud rather bucolio appearance arrived in the city and registered as L. Furber, Chicago. He didn't appear to have any particular business outside of writing letters Bud familiarizing himself with tho town's business. He knew uil the police, the prosecutor, sheriff and newspaper men by sight and steered clear of them. The people ut the hotel didn't think strange of him, however, until after an absence of two days somewhere he returned and registered in a buugling manner as, "F. Forber, of Lafayette." This wasn't a bit smooth of the lad aud it made the hotel people suspicious. On last Friday morning landlord Am Jones noticed him filling out checks on all the banks, and thinking something was croaked he notified D. H. Jackson, of Elston's bank, giving a description of the man.' From the desciiption given
Mr. Jackson recognized Mr. Furber or Forber as one L. Soholler, who had a deposit of about $200 in the bank. About two weeks before he had made the deposit and had given out the impression that he was a German farmer and stook buyer. A day or eo after he made the deposit h6 came in and asked is the bank collected notes, nnd being told that it did he left a note of $375 on a Mr. Beckwith, of Ladoga, Now Mr. Beckwith is a mythical character entirely, but a letter to him from the bank brought a prompt response. The letter contained a good draft for $100 and a statement that he would be np in a few days and pay the balance. That seemed all right and nothing was sus pected until Mr. Jones revealed the identity of Forber aud Soholler to Mr. Jackson. Soon after Mr. Jones left Soholler came in and deposited a check on the First National for $4, signedB. Pfefinger. Mr. Jackson investigated at once at the First National and discovered that Pfrtf enger and Scholler.were one with Mr. Forber. It was also learned that the First National was collecting a note for this interesting trinity from an unknown Mr. Myers, of Ladoga, who had made a partial payment. He had a de posit of $200 at the First National. At the Citizens' National Back it was learned that he had a deposit under the name of George Gerlacb. The banks were all on to Mr. Forbes Furber-Schooler-Pfrefinger Gerlock early Friday afternoon and had his game down to a fine point. He had been doing busiuess back and forth at the several banks to inspire confidence :n the nmue by which he was kno vn at each place and also in the names of his many aliases whose checks were always honored when presented, there being money deposited in each. It was clearly his purpoee to deposit early some morning in each bank several checks Bigned by the names he had formerly used in negotiations and which had been honored each time. Then before clearance hours in the same afternoon he would go to each bank and drawing the money out leave for parts unknown, leaving the several banks in the pottage up to their necks. It is hardly probable that he could have done tlr.s but what he might have done is uncertmn On Friday afternoon he drew from the several banks all his money but about 8100 and quietly went to Chicago where he left the wad and returned last night The police hud been on the lookout,
Mr. Jackson having put them on the trail Friday. It was ascertained that ho had rented a room in the Bryant block and hither he repaired last night on getting off the train. This morning as was anticipated he came into Elston's back and stated that he wished to deposit two cheeks amounting to $321. One was on George Gorlack and the other on B. Pfiefenger. Mr. Jackson promptly gave him credit on his book and when he went out called in Offioer Grimes who followed the crook to the Citizens' bank. Here he offered ,to deposit checks but the bank refused them. He accordingly drew out what money he had and going to the First National also offered to deposit them in the name by which he was known. The deposit being re fused he drew his balance and started toward Elston's bank evidently resolved to draw at onoe and skip. Hsperoeived himself shadowed by Officer Grimes, however, and noticing Prosecutor Mof fett enter the bunk he changed his mind and going east on Main turned north on Water. The offioer quickened his pace and observed the object of his pursuit erter the ruins of the burnt mill of Brown cfe Watkins. Here he was captured hiding and taken at once to Elston's bank where he wus confronted •with the facts. At the jail he admitted his guilt to the officers and engraved in his gold watch was found his true name, Louis Paquet. From letters his address was found to be 737 Davis street, Chicago. At his room in the Bryant block was fouud a change of clothes which would hove given him a good disgnise. Pnquet had a pal who was around the oity with him and who forwarded the drafts for him from Ladoga. This pal is a red headed young German with a sandy moustache. Prosecutor Moffett is not certain just how to handle the case. Paquet obtained money under false pretenses, however, when Mr. Jackson gave him credit on the worthless checks he presented as good pnper. Paquet broke down this afternoon and crying piteously begged to be relea ed. He Baid he would give all his money and wanted to leave the town forever. He is evidently a green had at the business. He stales that his wife and two children reside in Chicago.
