MODERATE DRINKING.^

NEW YORK TEMPERANCE WORKERS WHO TRY FOR MODERATION WHEN THEY CANT SECURE

TOTAL ABSTINENCE—REMARKS BY MR. BSECHER.

New York World.

The large dining room of Earle's Hotel, at the corner of Centre and Canal streets, was well filled yesterday afternoon by a well dressed audience of merchants and merchants' clerks. It was a Meeting called by the''Business Men's Society for the Encouragement of Moderation," and it was presided over by Mr. F. B. Thnrber, who sat upon a raised platform with the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Mr. M. L. Bates, of Bates, Reed A Co. Mr. Joseph Soott, of Scott Bros., and several other gentlemen. With a Bingle exception the audience'was male. Tne exoeption wore an old-fashioned bonnet and sat close up under the plat-

^In'openlng the meeting Mr. Thurber Baid that it was called for the purpose of strengthening the good resolutions of business men, and .especially to call their attention to the evil of drinking business hours, and of inviting others to drink. Mr. Hadley, the society's secretary, was then introduced to explain the somewhat complicated Jsystem of pledges furnished by the society. "In ie first place," said Mr. Hadley, "we have the red ticket or cast-iron pledge, which reads (Mr. Hadley read from a. square red card): "I hereby solemnly pledge my sacred honor not to drink, as a beverage, any intoxicating liquors for the unbroken 'rm of from the day of jg

The'signer of this pledge, it was explained, was expected to wear a badge of the same oolor as the ticket. "Then,' continued Mr. Hadley, producing a white card, "we have the white pledge fjr those who haven't the coufage to take the red one. This pledge reads: "I hereby solemnly pledge my sacred honor not to drink, as a beverage, any atoxicating liquors until after the hour of o'clock in any day during the full rm of

1."

The erigner of this pledge will wear a white bftdgo. and may eventually be brought to the peaceful and beautiful dream of "total abstinence."

The audience was next shown the "fcricolored pledge," which Mr. Hadley explained was made after the image of the flaiofthe most highly civilized nation —Franoe. The tri-colored pledge"reads a* follows: "I hereby soleuinly*piedge my sacred honor not to drink, as a beverage, any intoxicating liquors stronger than wine 0 beer, and the36 only in moderation, the full term of

The fourth and last ticket was of a bright blue color, and read: "I hereby solemnly pledge my aacred honor not to drink, as a beverage, any 1 itoxicating liquors at the expense of any other person whomsoever, nor to invite another to drink, for the full term

Mr Beecher was then Invited to address' the meeting. He was received with prolonged applause, which ehtl us iastic .reception, coupled wl the fac. that more than half of the audit no ashed for the doors as soon as he cetse 1 to speak, suggests that perhaps it was mere for the purpose of listening to bis address than to take part in the temperance movement that these several hundred merchants and clerks assembled.

with terrific applause from the corner of the room In which the solitary female was seated. Mr. Beecher was not, however led by the applause into a desertion of the moderation platform. He had, be Baid! of late years learned the taste of

beer, and on a few occasions had found it very comfortable to sleep upon but," he added, "I am over sixty, and have gone through perhaps as much orebral excitement in mv time as any man, and I declare that I have never used or felt the nwrt of nstnr one drop of stimulant for ray brain orbodji We know, however, that as the race grows strong la brain power and man beooines farther removed from the brute the need or fancied need of stimulants increases, and so it is almost hopeless tp expect that man will give them up entirely. I wish to be understood dlstlhdtly as being in favor of total abstinence, bat

hail this moderation society as being a worker for the same glorious cause of i»in Dermic*, and therefore I hope that ere will be no split between the two Tt&rties." Mr. Beecher then went on to Spove from a scientific standpoint that Simulants taken with the meals were lew injurious than if token at other JLM. Pawing next to a consideration of the "no treating" pledge, Mr. Bee,AP -aid that he was forced to admit that the custom of inviting frieuds to a Bocial glass. orlsrln i» good motives, rormll time an invitation to break bread or to feast

in one's

house bad been the token of

amlcabllUy and food fello^hip. "Now, a man cannot be expected to take a dozen dinner# with a down friends in the »me day. That is beyond the oapai\mtv of the human stomach. And so the well disposed friend say* to his ««Lhhrtr 'Come and take something uiKaTind uke a nip.' [Laughter.] But just look at thei consequence.

At the conclusion of Us audrosj a vote

of thanks to Mr. Beecher was passed, and also one to Mr. Earle, who is said to be one of the most earnest workers for the cause, for the use of his room. There was no attempt to obtain signers to any of the pledges, bat the audience was told that the office of the secretary wan in the Astor House, where signatures would gladly be received.

A REMARKABLE CASE REPORTED FROM CANADA-AN ANIMATED POZZLE. •V'-S'^Londoi* (Ont.) Advertiser.

About two years since a daughter of Mr. Richard Clare. Caroline by name, and then 17 years of age, living on lot 25, in the seoond concession of Rodnev, was taken ill. Her disease could not be oorrectly diagnosed, and had many peculiar feature?. Her appetite fell off, and she lost flesh, till trom a strapping girl of

130

pounds weight she barely weighed S7 pounds. There did not seem to be any organic complaint. The bodllv functions were not impaired, and although she ate less than formerly, the falling off in this respect was not such as in itself would alarm her friends. After the lapse of a few nths she took to her bed. Then it was that a change occurred in her mental condition. Formerly she was noted rather for lack of conversational power, but now fits or spasms wonld oome ovor her, on the passing away of which her eyes would become set and glazed, her body almost rigid, and weile in that state she would discuss eloquently, and give vivid descriptions^? far-off scenes, far exceeding in their beauty anything which she had ever seen or presumaDly ever read of. On the passing away of tnis state she exhibited a great degree of lossltude and indisposition to move, and was taciturn and surly in reply to any questions. This continued until about a month since, when an extraordinary change occurred. The girl, although not gaining flesh, appeared to rally. She became light-hearted and gay, and her friends anticipated an early release for her from the room to which she had been confined so long. Their expectations were not in vain, arid she is now about the house, apparently as well bodily as ever. But another remarkable development has taken place. She is constantly giving off electrical charges, and seems to be a perfect battery. A person, unless possessed-of the very strongest nerves, eannot shake hands with her, nor can any pna place his hand in a pail of water with hers. By joining hands she can |send a sharp shock througn fifteen or twenty people in a room, and she possesses all the attraction of a magnet. If she attempts to

up a the blade, jritt jump Into er and a paper Of needles will hang-suspended from one of her fingers. So strongly developed is this electrio power that she cannot release from her touch any artioles of stefel which she may have taken up: The only method yet found is for a second party to take hold of the article and pull, while the girl strokes her own arm vfgorouslv from the wrist upward. On her entering the room a' perceptible influences seiaes hold of all others, and while some are affeoted to sleepiness, others are ill and flighty till they leave, and even "for a considerable time afterward. A sleeping babe' will wake up with a start at her approach, but with a stroke of her hand Bhe can at once coax it to si umber again. Animals are also subject to her influence, and a pet dog of the household will be for hours at her feet as motionless as in death. A curious part of the phenomena is tke fact that tha electrieity can be Imparted by her to any article with which she habitually comes in contact. The other day a younger sister, while doing the housework, took up a pair of corsets belonging to Caroline, and on her hand touching the steel she was compelled to drop them with a loud cry and an exclamation to the effect that she had run a needle into her finger. Wooden spoons have had to be mfcde for her, as she cannot touch metal. Altogether, the case is a most remarkable one, and attracts scores of visitors to the house of Mr. Clare. Medical men are especially Interesting themselves, and It has' been stated that Dr. Tye, of Thaineeville, will read a paper on the subject at the meeting of the Provincial Medical Association, which Is to be held in London in the course of this summer. Mr. Clare is the father of a family of seven children, none of whom except Caroline show any abnormal qualities.

New York Evening Posi."

Since the murder of Mrs/Hull, maoh surprise has been expressed that so vigorous and powerful a woman shooTd have been smothered without any noise or evidence of violent struggle, and the absenoe of any indications of violent resistanoe on her part has led many persons to believe that three or four persons were concerned In the crime The following facts in relation to the ease with which the suffocation of a person oan be effected under certain oonditions, which were related by one of the most eminent surgwms in New York City or ortitrty, will be read with

strength, and oxygwa, (the life giving element in the air) is what purifies the bloody and gives it |he ppwer of sustaining our life the moment that by any means you are deprived bt fresh inpplytf Kfr, you begin*to strength. Xhw* the moment that cotton or olothIflrfc or anything similar is placed over ttefitee and1 month, the person Immediately begins fo lose strength. The question how long will a person retain obnaciousnem after the supply of air is cfit off depends entirely upon the fact whether the supply of air is entirely cot off. If a little air is admitted that will create some vitality and will promote the possibility of the person's strug-

If by struggling the person succeed* in getting more air the strengui in correspondingly increased. Thus the person juay get the better of the would be murderer. But when the exclusion of the air is pdrfeot, then the time of consciousness lasts only while the beating of the heart circulates what good blood there is already in the body, about the body. The heart beat# seventy-two times* mlnnte, and It will take but a few second* to use up the good b.ood. When we inhale, the air comes In contact with the blue (bad) blood and oxygenase it—that is, puts oxygen into it, mak«e it red and good, andcapableof sustaining our life. This red blood the heart forces through the veins and over the body. When we exhale we breathe out, the*carbon unites with the oxygen to form carbonic add, which has ueen eliminated from the blood. By each respiration we take in life and send out the destroyer of life which is all the time forming inside of ns. As the blood circulates through the body it becomes carbonised, and when it meets fresh oxygen It gives off its carbon or poison. When the supply of air is cut off all the blood becomes carbonirad,

*'.£ TERM! HAUTE SATURDAY EVENIJTG MALL.

carbonic add Is formed, the heart keeps on pumping the blood and carbonic acid from the heart into the head and about the brain. Carbonic add is the best kind of a sedative and acts as a narcotic. Stupefaction similar to drunkenness Is produced, It is just ate if the person were put to sleep. The arterleB become overloaded and congested, congestion of the brain Is oreated and tranquil death results. Some persons can stay under water along time because they take in their lungs a large supply of air before they go under water, while breathing natural in sleep it is perfectly possible that consciousness would not come at all, and that In a few seconds death without a struggle would ensue.

Once I was called to the home of one of the most reputable women in the country. I found her dead, lying on a sofa. The servant girl had come into her room early In the morning to make the fire. When the girl went ont the lady, just dressed, threw herself down on the sof* and ploked up the morning newspaper. The lady dla not appear at the breakfast table, and at about 18 o'clock they went up stairs to her room to see what was the matter. She lay on the sofa, apparently aaleep. The newspaper was in her lap, and one hand lay upon it, the other arm rested gracefully over the baok of the sofa. There was no expression of pain on her face. Her po sitton on tht sofa was perfectly natural. There were no Bigns of a struggle, but she was dead. Upon examination I discovered that her false teeth had dropped back and closed up the larynx so as to out off the supply of air. She had fallen asleep, the teeth had dropped back and sbe had died without a struggle. She Was a large, strong, vigorous woman, in good health. I believe thoroughly that she passed away without any consciousness of the fact that she was dying. A person who is asleep can be smothered by means of very little force, A large, strong woman can be smothered by a weak girl If all the air is promptly excluded, by covering the mouth and nostrils. If the woman is asleep there pos sibly would be no struggle at all apd consciousness.

"MY DARLING'S BLIND."

A TOUCHING SCENE IN ASTREET CAR Utlca Sunday Tribune. A lady entered a car on the Oak^frood road one day the. past week, leading a little girl perhaps four years old. The mother sat down and lifted the little one to the seat beside her. The child was nibbling at a bit of cake or sugar, now and then turning her face, full of childish love, up to her mother, and murmuring some almost unintelligible words of affection.

Opposite to mother and child sat another younger lady, who often smelted afresh rose which

Bhe

held. The inno

cent little one before her attracted her attention, and the natural kindliness of the sympathetic woman-heart, prompted her at once to pffer the frfgrant fl to the little budding lily opposite she leaned bit f6rrtard and spoke: "Baby watit theposey t"

But the child, seemed not to her. Perhaps it was the poiqe of.the moving car that prevented. "Then she spok6 a little louder, and hfelfr the 'flower forward temptingly: "Baby may have Use posey."

The mother heard, for she looked toward the other lady, and smiled—and O, such a look of heartfelt gratitude, of motherly love, -yet heavily saddened with an expressive, tinge of sorrow, is seldom seen. And still, the lady of the rose pressed upon the lfttlo one acceptance of the flower. "B*by take the rose," holding it almost to tho child's hands. And now it seemed she was heard, for rhe blue eyes turned full upon her would-be patron, and then in a moment she strangely drew back and turned her eyes appealingly toward her mother's face. The lady with the flower showed her bewilderment in her look, while a pained expression flitted across the face of the mother, who leaned forward and whispered just a word

"My darling's blind!" Then the whole sunless, darkened life of the fair little being, fair as the flower which had been offered her, came up before the mind. All

beauty

shut out from her forever! For her no foliage-strewn, flower studded scene to follow the bleakneas of winter. No looking with awe into the mysterious depths of the night-sky, sparkling with glittering, twinkling star-gems, for over those blue eyes the Creator, in the mystery of bis designs, had hung the impenetrable veil. No expectant gaze toward the mother's face for the gentlest smile that ever soothes a childish trouble: only the blind passage of the little band over and over those features, for one moment's sight of which that fcrowing little one will often and often willingly offer years ot existence. For her the birds will sing, but the loveliness of form and feather are not. For her, while the babling stream may make mysterious marie, its dimpled waves and winding reaohea and verdant bauks do not exist.

How bitterly vivid all thlk, as the lady opened the little hand and shut within it the thorniest stem of the. rows, How bearing a tear on Its petals.

And there were other swimming 6yes in the car.

one better qualified had taken the sub ject in band. It is a frequent experiment of Djr. Tyndall's to show his audience red clouds: I feel convinced that by following this line of inquiry be could give as a real thunderstorm.

141THECAUSB OF THUNDER, »•?j Frerf Mature,. 3 sn I tffcvo lately seen it stated in a texttookupon electricity and magnetism that the phenomenon of thunder Is not fully accounted forby any theory as yet brought forward. Whether this be so or hot I am not auffidently acquainted with the subjeot to say. I believe the commonly accepted theory is that a vacuum Is created in the path of the electrio spark, and that the subsequent inrush of the air produce# the detonation. If, however, it be allowed that the electric spark is not a ifaaterial substance, but merely a natural foree or mode of motion, the possibility of this theory is at once disposed of. It is a well known fact that the passage of electricity in a high state or tension, through a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen, not only causes an explosion, but also causes the formation or water, and it seems to me that, given the existence of free oxygen and hydrogen in the region of the electric disturbance, the phenomenon of thunder Is sufficiently aooonnted for. Whether the normal amount of hydrosen in the air is suffldent to cause the stupendous noise of thunder, I am not competent to judge, but if not, I wonld suggest that the presence of an abnormal amount might be accounted for by

QENERALL THE CASE. Attica Ledger. it ts a'significant fact that the*men who cry hard times the loudest are the very ones who are indqgtriously doing nothing to make them better.

GLOVED HANDS."" 'V\*

Indianapolis Herald.

If ladies could be made to understand that the hand is one of the best modes of expression, they would never mount the roslrum, either to read, lecture, or address* an assembly, with the hand closely encased in kid gloves. Lace mitts, BOW so much in vogue, are less objectionable, but kid gloves seem to give stiffness to the attitude, and an appearance of awkwardness, imagine a gentleman- delivering an 'oration in close fitting kids it HOW

SPIRIT

PHOTOGRAPHS IE

ARE MAD

"Spirit photography," is thus explained by a Rochester "photographer: "I take apiece of glass, and on it I paste the photographed cgrds 4f such 'spirits' as I wish to reprpduce a hazy, outline, about the head of the sitter. In the center of the glass I JJfet nothing, but arrange the 'spiri ts'in a seat circle. Then from this prepared plate I take a nega tive, and afterward a positive. When sitter com&s for photographs,"Intake a negative just a» I would any one's. When the printing is done, I,place the positive plate of the sitter under the positive plate of the 'spirits,' and allow the .nun tb print both. The 'Spirits' being in a semi-circle, the finished photograph appears as if the sitter was surrounded by heads in the air."

JUST A DAY TOO LATE. A few days since there was a wedding in Des Moines, Iowa. The bride was a general favorite in sodety, and an especial favorite with two young gentlemen, each of whom aspired to the honor of her hand. One ol them secured it, but as the wedding was entirely private, the other did not hear of it. The evening after the wedding, the last named went t» call on the lady, whom he supposed to be still single. There he found his rival, the groom, with his bride. Laying aside his overcoat, be engaged her in lively conversation, constantly addressing her by her maiden name. He progressed so well that he concluded to "sit out" his rival. About twelve o'clock a remark was made that informed him of the changed relations of the parties, and be concluded that the freezing out process wouldn't do, and incontinently departed, a wiser and sadder man.

CHILD'S REQ UEST.

AN INCIDENT/N CHURCH. A pretty story is told in the local columns of the Springfield Republican of two children who went to, churfeh together. They took a seat near the front, and after the minister had got well into his sermon the smaller child whispered to his sister that he would like to go home. Those who sat behind them heard the little girl tell him that he most not go without asking the minister's permission, so hand in hand they left their seats, and standing before the clergyman, the little chap lisped oat his petition* The minister was naturally surprised, but without interrupting bis discourse be nodded assent. That did satisfy the children, and again the boy askea pernisaion *o «o and was answered fo another nod. Than the little girl, fearing the mlftlster had not understood her m-brtier, Tiaid, •'Please, sir, may brother and I fco home?" The minister stopped and verbally granted the rejueet. and with a sweet ^'tjiank you, sir," ind a courtesjr the children went down tho aisle together. The

POSSIBILITIES OF THE FUTURE.

Peck's Ban.

At Mansfield, Ohio, on Snnday last, a telephone was run from the pulpit of a church to the residences where there were sick people, and they could hear the sermon, the singing, and the jingle of the gun wads in the collection plate. If this telephone business proves to be all that is daimed for it. theohurcbes can all be sold to be used for breweries and livery Btables, the minister can preach from his bed at home, or from a pier ont In the lake, while holding a fish pole to catch bis dinner ont of the water, and the members of the church can lay around at home with dirty shirts on—that is the men—and with their hair tied up in curl papers—that is, the women—and tbey can hear all the sermon even if their pantaloons are out at the heel and tbeir new bonnet has not arrived from the milliner. Tben religion will be so cheap that even tbe poor can have it. There will be no expense for churches, no pew rent, no fuel, no gas, no frescoed oelltng, no nothing. All that will be necessary will be be to hire a minister, give him a bouse to live in on some fish pond, give him land enough to raiae vegetable?, and let him eaten fish between meals. If he catches more fish than be needs be can peddle them aronnd town, and send the money to the foreign missions, and no oollection will need to be taken up for that purpotte. And then everything will be lovely. A sermon through a telephone, with tbe congregation laying down at the homes of the members, on lonngee, or stretched out on the oarpet on hot Sundays, will soak in them better than the old way. You won't have to bo looking around tbe church, wondering what some confounded woman is laugning about, and there will be no baldbead hotel keeper sitting in front of yon, so you can't see the girls in tbe choir. But, come to tt.ink of it, going to church is the best. It seems more sociable. Never mind, you needn't sell tbe churches yet. We will take the telephone on probation a spell. ii ii

ECONOMY IN DRESS.

Tobe so re,, these are hard times, and prudence is needful but, dear ladies, that is poor economy which leads you to buy' cheap goods simply because tbey are oheap. In tbe loug run this plan does not yay. If you buy but little, ouy good material. Every lady should contrive to have three dresses in wear. If it is important to have one really good dress, ijt i? equally important to, havp a goqd sajond best to save it. Many poor women destroy a beet dress by wearing it a? unsuitable times, simply because they have no other presentable one in which to go out., A richer neighbor oould save her nice silk on a rainy day by wearing a coarser and more sultable-drees. We have a friend who, on a small stated income, manages to dress hand^pmely on all occasions, going out a great deal in a social circle in which kundreds are expended where fche has only shillings to lay out. It takes science but she is, equal to it. As sbe boards, she has no housekeeping duties to sbil her dresses when they are once made'up. She-bays one good dress a year. This sbe has- made up in the prevailing style, anfi se(.s it aside as her very best, for dinner parties, suncv Sabbaths, and the like. The last yearns best dress is remodeled into an excellent seoond best, which is the most used of the set. It serves for afternoon wear, for general street Wear, and dull Sundays. Then oom^s tbe third best, which is 'made, moet likely, of several old dresses, ripped apart and turned to tae best account. This is for very comrn use, but looks well even in the street, for the materials of which it is made were of tbe be9t, in their days, and such goods have a perennial youth. The other accessories of her toilet are always elegant. Again, she saves all her pieces —every scrap of silk, satin or velvet— and is never at a loss for the materials for a bright colored bow or tasteful head dress. Wastefulness is no sign of high breeding, and should be avoided in the smallestthings.
