TEMPERANCE IN TEBBE HAUTE.
Bro. Howe Addresses a Mixed Audience at the A. M. E. Church.
A Mingling of tho Element*.
Just such an audience as came together at the African M. E. Church Friday night, perhaps never before assembled in Terre Haute. Four hundred people, black and white, were crowded together, the seats being filled and standing room at a premium. As showing how the prejudices of the past are vanishing, the Chairman was an old-time Democrat of the strictest school, and there was more than one ex-Confederate officer in the houee^side by side with the underground railroaders of a few years ago. The signs of the times are hopeful, in more ways than one.
The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. N. D. Brakeman, of Centenary Church, after which Rev. E. F. Howe was introduced by the Chairman, Mr. Isaac Beauchamp.
Mr. Howe was glad the committee had assigned him to this particular place. The place reminded us of an advance that had been made in the last few years. A short time ago the only object of a meeting with those who ordinarily meet in this house, would have been to urge them personally to practice temperance. Now you have the ballot. The object of the committee is to create and combine public opinion with reference to the enforcement of the temperance law. He devoted some time to illustrating the power and force.of public opinion. It requires a tremendous force of character to disregard ana ueiy puu11c opinion.
In referenoe'to the temperance law, we need to think, talk,* discuss and understand it. The first thing we want is a public opinion which shall demand the execution of all laws. This is the only safefground. I do not ask If the Baxter law is a good one. All laws must be executed.— People and officers must feel this, if officers do not feel so we must find those who will.
What are the facts. In the first place there is a disinclination on the part of some to enforce the Baxter law. Under the 'old law it is claimed that the school fund was benefited. Under this law a city may exact a fee. Our city authorities have not exacted a fee, and they are afraid to do it. They are afraid of public oplnlonj and the election soon to come. The opponents of this cause make their power felt at the polls, and it is time the temperance men slioyld do the same. [Applause.]
If the party with which I vote don't put up the right kind of men, I will bolt, even if the other party has no better'acandldates. And I want you to da the same, for these parties must be taught that we will have good candidates. [Tremendous applause.]
It is claimed that the city authorities have no power to enforce those laws. We showed that this claim wus erroneous,!and traced the assertion to the cowardice of the officers, and their fear Of public opinion.
In the next place we want a public opinion which says that the Baxter bill is a good law. I do not suppose it is the only law, or the best law, that ever has been or ever will be enforced. In its main features it is correct. It Is wise that a majority shall say whether liquor shall be sold. I doubted it to-day when I looked over the petitions for permits, and saw the ignorance displayed by the signers, and noticed that three or four were in jail or were fugitives from justice. In the Second Ward I did not find the name of a respectable man.
Those who sell are responsible for the damages that are done to or by the person who drink. They complain bitterly of this feature. There mav be some cases where fraud may he pracifceu. UU UIHUIUW
uttL
.tr,
for ten or fifteen cents asaloon keeper makes a man a demon be goes out wanting to kill somebody, or goes home to beat and abuse his family. This clause makes sellers careful, and renders others less liable to injury.
We found at least seven saloons, some of them as bad as any in the city, in buildings owned by prominent, public-spirited, Christian citizens. They who own the buildings are just as responsible as those who sell and I would be glad to see a few thousand dollars taken out of these respectable pockets. He claimed jLst as good aright to rent his parlor for a saloon as any body else had to rent a room for the same purpose, but he thanked Gdd that If he ever did such a thing the doors of his and all churches would be closed against him.
A large majority of the drunkards are made whilst they are miners, They must be tided over the time of danger by a legal protection, and for this reason the miuority provision of the law is a good one.
No liquor can be sold on Sundays election days or holidays. But need not stop to talk of this, for there is no liquor sold here on Sunday—at the front door—while the Grand Jury is in session. [Laughter.]
One of the objections to this law is that it is in advance of public sentiment. Law is an educator, and good law in advance of publio senti ment is better than a law just up to the times, because it elevates the people by its moral force.
Another objection offered is, that you can't legislate men into morality or religion. We know it can't be done, and we don't want to do it if we could. We want to compel men by law to respect the rights of others The law against theft is not to make men honest.
In the "address of the anti-tehlper-auce men" there is nothing of as much consequence as what has already been spoken of, but ho took up the sophisms of the "address" and very thoroughly upset them.
In some places the ladies are holding prayer meetiugs in the saloons At New Vienua, Ohio, a saloou keeper threw beer over the ladies. He was arrested and thrown into jail. After he was released he was invited into a teuiperancE meeting, to give his reasons for selling liquor. There he repeated the usual twaddle about "market for corn," "revenue to (he Government," etc. But the financial view from the temperauce side was more startling.
The evils of intemperance canuot be depicted. And then followed au eloquent description of these evils, illustrated by many touching incidents—but he felt it impossible that the picture could be fully painted.
He closed with an earnest appeal to the young to avoid the tempter, and to all for a faithful dlsoharge of every duty.
The declaration of prlnc'ples was read, and siguedby two hundred and twelve persons.
The next meeting will be held at Brake's school house,Friday evening, Junuaiy 30th. ..

Plaint of a Physician.
The physician is considered a public servant, and obliged to submit to all the abuses of mankind generally. Not long since, in our city, a lady was telling to a friend of her's that she would have to pay her doctor bill soon. To this her friend replied: "Pay thp doctors! Why I would not be in a hurry, they can wait or I would make them wait/ They can well afford to wait. Oh yes, to adorn the body with luxuries which deterioate health, the money is plenty, but to recompense the one who has to remove them, slander and abuse are meted out to him. But such has been the custom since A. D. 1535, when Dr. Cordees doubtless told his own experience as well as that of his apostolic succession in the healing art. He says "Three faces wears the doctor, when first sought, An angel's and a God's tho euro half wrought
But. when lliat cure complete, he seeks his fee, The devil then the less terjlble than he." LECTOR.

A
Medium in Spite Herself.
of
The Origin, Progress, and Final Disclosure of a Childish Trick.
An Interview With the Best ChildMedium in Terre Haute, Wherein is Related How She Became
Medinm, and How Anybody Else Can Who Wants to.
A GAZETTE reporter yesterday afternoon in company with Mr. Fisk, who has undertaken the business management of Professor Baldwin's exposes, called to see Miss Sallie Cooper, the wonderful child medium, with a view of learning from her a history of her development as a medium, and the facts concerning her promised exposure of it in connection with Profesior Baldwin at the Opera House.
The bouse where the Cooper family lives, is situated on Poplar street, just in the rear of Keys & Sykes' hub and spoke factory, and is a plain and unpretentious frame building, befitting its unfashionable location and the humble circumstances of its occupants. The head of the family, Mrs. Cooper, is a widow lady who has struggled bard,by keeping boarders and doing plain sewing, to support herself and two daughters. The older of these, now a young woman, assists her mother in sewing, the younger, Miss Sallie, the medium, is a mere school girl. Arriving at the house the reporter and his companion were ushered iu by a member of the family.
The conversation at once turned upon the subject of Spiritualism. Mrs. Cooper stated that she had been an attendant at Pence's Hall for some time that she bad witnessed many manifestations which were given under conditions which apparently percluded all idea of their being performed by physical means and that she had' gradually fallen into the prevalent belief that they were done by spiritual power. The development of mediumistic power by her daughter had been a surprise to her. She neyer suspected that there was any deception about it. Those older iu the faith than she was, were.convinced, apparently of its genuiness, and she fell Into the same way of thinking. The manifestations given by her daughter were strange and unaccountable. She could not see how it was possible for her to have done them. Every possible means, apparently, was taken to detect anything wrong about them, iu the public seances at Pence's Hall, under conditions whi^iiesfTjaed to her favorable to suc^e is and in no case had any committee ever reported tfifir ,«ti6y could see how it was done. Iuthemidstof such apparently positive proofs, she never questioned their genuineness, until a few days ago, when her daughter told her it was all a trick. Even then she could not believe it until explanations were given her, of the manner in which tbey were done, so plain that she could no longer doubt. She was very sorry that her daughter bad deceived her and the public. Had she suspected tnat they were tricks she would not have permitted her daughter to exhibit at all. She should not deceive people any longer. Now that she was convinced that they were not genuine manifestations, as alleged, she had given her consent to her,daughter to show how she had performed them so that, as far as possible, she might undo any wroug she had thoughtlessly committed.
MISS SALLIE COOPER,
the child medium, is a bright, pretty little girl of perhaps fourteen years of age. By attendants at the seances at Ppnces' Hall for the past two Sunday evenings, she will be distinguished from Laura Morgan, who exhibited with her, as being the one who sat on the east side of the cabinet, and the one, the musical instruments on whose sta.nd, were reported by the committee as being invariably found on the other side of the cabinet, as if thrown there by some powerful force, to them unknown. Upon being interrogated by the reporter as tohermediumship, Sallie laughingly related the history of it, how it begun and flourished, from the first day until now. The story is substantially as follows: Last winter, when Laura Morgan's me diumsiiip was developing, she attend was placeiT fn TBe"cablfilci j&fclS Laura, and at the expiration of a satisfactory manifestation, during which she used her eyes very sharply, it was proposed that she be chained in the same way. She consented, and succeeded in (tying all that Laura had done Everybody was delighted and said she was a medium, and enjoying the joke, she held her peace. After that from time to time she was requested to give seances for the purpose of convincing doubters and developing her mediumistic power. Struck more than anything else with the funniness of people being so easily deceived, and with their talking in such solemn fashion about developing her mediumistic power, and investigating the subject and test conditions, and the controling spirits, she permitted herself to give repeated seances. Once in a cabinet—she always did her best to please the audience. Committees were appointed to investigate and the managers always Imposed condlb tions which were as favorable as she cared to have and nobody ever caught her and committees were mystified, knd Spiritualists always said she was a remarkable medium. Nobody ever thought of asking her whether she did it'or how she did it. Last summer she was taken by Mr. Morgan in conjunction with his daughter to Marshall, and there gave cabinet seances. She always did her best.
She then showed the reporter photograph Mr. Morgan had taken 'of her and his daughter in a cabinet, fastened and in tne ropes, as they were when giving seances.
Coavlnced lately that the joke had been carried far enough, and if continued longer might produce some harm, she had told her mother of it, and made up her mind to be no long era party to trhat, so far as she was concerned, was a fraud. She said that at the request of Mr. Baldwin, with whom she bad been acquainted for some time, she had consented to appear in bis expose at' the Opera House on Monday night, and by showing how everything sho had previously done under the ostensible control of spirits, could be performed without their aid, try to undo the work of deception she had thoughtlessly and almost unconsciously lent herself to at first. At the close of the Interview, she assured the reporter that spirits bad never assisted her in any of her seances, and if they had those with whom she gave a joint seance, it was unknown to her.

the
An Interview. h-
A GAZETTEER, this morning, procured a pair of padded pants, and proceeded to Pence's to ascertain from that gentleman "the other side of the story," in the matter of the Baldwin expose. He found that he had made a needless investment, as that gentleman was as mild as a morning in May.
He greeted the young ijfcn of the GAZETTE with a smile that was serene, and accepted his proposition, to play fair by exteuding the free use of these columns to Spiritualists, to make any statement they wish in reference to the exposes of Baldwin & C5.
We were invited up stairs to the main seance room and introduced to Mr. Morgan* That gentleman was busily engaged reconstructing the cabinet as he said more securely, with a view of having his daughter perform at a public seance Sunday night under other and stronger conditions than heretofore. For instance, the girl will be hand cuffed, with wires between her fingers, so that she will not be able to slip the useful ornaments up on her arm, as demonstrated by Baldwin. Then she is to be chained by the neck, feet and bands, and the chains locked on the outside of the cabinet. There will also be different internal arrangements of the cabinet. The same committee that officiated at the Opera House viU be invited to do so at Pence's Hall, and the same facilities extended them. The Cooper girl is also invited to be present, and if she can do in the light what the Morgan girl cati in the dark, then they (the SpfHtOalists) give it up. If she fails, they will try her with the doors closed. She must be tied the same as the Morgau girl.
As we were about taking our leave, Mr. Morgan sought to express an opinion—the opinion that it is too. bad that newspapermen will ridicule that which is true.
Mr. Pence—That's all right. Mr. Morgan—It may be, but it don't look all right to me.
Dr. Pence—Great truths were ever ridiculed when first advanced. The Dr, and the GAZETTEER then went down stairs, leaving Itf r. Morgan to "fix things."
Down stairs, the Dr. said I do not propose to prlve up the fight until convinced of error. If I thought this was a ham bug, I would not hang to it a week. But so lpng as I tjelieve the manifestations real, you will find me fighting for it, notwithstanding all the sneers that can be brought to bear on me.
GAZETTEER—Did you go to the Opera House expose Dr. Pence—No. .»/
GAZETTEER—Have you been to any of them Dr. Pence—When Von Vleck was here I was, and invited him to my h?U8e.
GAZETTEER—Do you regard Von Vleck as good an exposer, or better than Baldwin?
Dr. Pence: I thiuk in some particulars'Von Vleck superior to Baldwin, though I could not judge fairly between them as I have not seen Mr. Baldwin's exposes. I understand that Baldwin has but one tie. Von Vleck has more than one.
GAZETTEER—Which do you regard the better medium, the Morgau or the Cooper girl?
Dr. Pence—From what I have seen of their relative merits, I regard the Morgan girl the stronger medium of the two. But then, I have seen more of the Morgan girl's mediumistic powers than of the Cooper girl's.
TEMPERANCE.
A Card From the Executive Committee. Editors Evening Gazette
The Temperance Executive Committee desire to give notice that any person who shall hereafter illegally sign a petition for a permlt to sell iutoxicating liquors, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Below 10 iuo D«vttuu iu iuh. iurevAJUUUH Courts have decided that all signatures are illegal if the signer's name is not on the poll book of the last election. The same penalty, of course, applies for siguing twice as for signing illegally. The section reads as follows:
Sec. 4. The whole number of votes cast for candidates for Congress, at the last preceding Congressional election, iu the township, and the whole number of votes cast for Councilman or Trustee, in any ward or town, at the last preceding 'municipal election in any city or town, iu which the applicant for a permit desires to sell the said intoxicating liquors, shall be deemed to be the whole number of legal voters of such ward, town or township, a majority of whose names shall be signed to the
}urther
ietitlon of such applicant and it is provided that any person not a legal voter in said ward, town, or township, who shall sign said pe tition, or any person who signs ^he name of any person other than himself, without the pertnission previously obtaiued of said person to so sign his name, shall be fined not less than fifty nor more than one hundred dollars for each signature so made.
No illegal signature can escape the thorough search that will be made, and no efforts will be spared to successfully prosecute all such„M

It is permitted to few men or companies to achieve acknowledged syperity in any important position position or busiues9. Tha present generation lias witnessed stupendous rivalry in several branches of iudustry, and notably the Sewing Machine business. Amid a multitude of competitors, steadily and surely the Wheeler & Wilson Company held their way from the beginning, upon fixed and honorable principles. Long since, their leading position in Ainer ica was established. Abroad, in London, in 1862, they won the highest premiums at Paris, in 1867, they distauced eighty-two competitors, and were awarded the highest premium, the only Gold Medal forBew iug Machines exhibited and lastly, amid unparalleled competition, fol lowed the splendid triumphs at Vi enna, noted in our advertising col urnns.

Lane's Cordial
—AND—
BLOOD PURIFIER
A safe and reliable medicine, tot purifying and Invigorating the human BVHtem. Composed of purely vegetable substances, combined according to the best methods known to modern science. It is not a patent medicine, but is prepared from such well known roots and herbs as yellowdock, stiUipgia, mandrake, plpslssewa Blue Flag, and others of undoubted curative powers. The objeet of this medicine is to cure diseases arising from impure blood, impaired digestion, and a diseased liver, boils, tumors, pimples, blotches, canker, ulcer*, tores, etc.. are only the external forms of blood a it ease. Diseases of the kidneys and bladder, liver, stomach and* lungs female weakness, uterine troubles, as well hs rheumatism, neuralgia, erysipelas, gout, disease in the bones, dyspepsia, dropsy, ail scrofulous manifestations, swelling of the glands, ulceratiou of tbe internal organs, tubercles, tumors, eruptions, salt, rbeum, scald head, aa well as dropsy, emaciation and genera] debility, are some of tbe internal forms or blood diseases, which disappear with the cause tbat produced them. Tbat Lane's Cordial i» able to purify the blood, there can be no doubt, but this would be only half tbe work it will also enrich the blood and strengthen tbe system tone up tbe organs and bring them back to duty, restore appetite and give power to digest,and assimilate the food eaten.
