TEMPERANCE,

As 02 e and one make always two,
Bo those who drink are sure to rue.
As two and two make always four,
So surely one glass leads to more.
As three and three are always six,
As surely drink is spoiled by “sticks.”

-Edward Carswell, in Temperance Bam.y.
Liquor and Longevity.
The publicans are trotting out Borrow r s’s
Worcester Journal , which tells us of a fam¬
ily who lived at Hastings a hundred years
ago, named Brown. The father was 108
years of age, and for fifty years had never
gone to bed sober. He was a Hercules,
in short; had twenty-four children—six¬
teen sons and eight daughters, His
wife died aged ninety-eight, and only
two of his children had died, He was
able to ride sixty-five miles in a day.
One of his sons has been a drunkard for
fifteen years. Says the lire,revs Guardian:
“We do not justify intemperance, but
the above affords evidence that the use
of alcohol, even in excessive quantities,
is not absolutely inimical to strength and
longevity.” We might justly demand
fuller evidence for this “ancient” aud
veracious history, but we will simply ask
our brewing friends, now that there are
plenty centenarians about, to produce a
man 108 years old, a Hercules, who has
drank heavily for the past fifty years, and
we will then give the matter our best
consideration. The man that can answer
our demand will command a fortune from
the drinking British public in a fewyears.
There is a chance for them—the Jubilee
Drunkard now on view; walk up; only
a shilling a head .—Glasgow lie former.
A Breeder of Disease and Crime.
In the recent number ef Brain Dr.
,
Clarke has published some statistics
showing that alcoholism of parents is a
predisposing cause of crime and epilepsy
in their children. Forty-four percent, of
the epileptic criminals were the children
of drunken parents. The proportion of
cpilectic and insane relatives is found to
be very much greater with criminals than
with ordinary epileptics. The convie
tions for bastardy are three times as nu
mcrous among epileptics as among non
epileptics. The statistics are that th»
amount of crime, as indicated by thw
number of convictions, is greater amoc^
epileptics than among ordinary crimi
nals.

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.
’B'kat (tee Tsronto Globe Has to Hay of
the Document.
Toronto, Ont.,—The Toronto Globe
of Monday says: Tbe letter of President
Cleveland to the president of the fishery
union is a remarkable and important doc¬
ument. It is not such a letter as Ameri¬
cans interested in the fisheries desired to
receive from the president, but the letter
was evidently intended as a warning to
Canadians, also. While we desire that
the rights of Canada be firmly and effi¬
ciently asserted and maintained, we hope
that American fishermen will not be re
fused any privileges to which they are
entitled, and that they will never ex peri
ence those unjust employed or unfriendly treatment from i
in the protection of ou. j
nghts. It would be folly however, to
H the United States, including, apparently, many in j j
the president himself and members of Ins
h fashe r meu of lb, ‘
United States have nghts • , in our waters
which we believe they have not under 1 j
° f 1116 tr ? ty DOW ,n l™’ and
that there are privileges - to which they !
are entitled, m the opinion of the pr-si
dent, to which we say they have no title,
whatever. From the misunderstanding
lf we assert what we believe to be our
rights, greater misunderstandings may
arise. This letter although studiously |
moderate m intimates plainly what J
may follow. The position is, to say the !
least, exceedingly serious. 1
AUGUST SPIES DISAPPOINTED.
He Falle to Elicit the Support of the Tur¬
ner’s Association.
Chicago Ill .,—A bitter set back was |
given to the friends of August Spies,
who have been endeavoring to enlist him, the
moral support of the Turners here for
and his condemned friends, but the anar- j
chist sympathizers refuse to acknowledge
themselves defeated, and declare that
they will carry their efforts before the ;
highest authority in the order, and make !
the issue a national one among the Tur
ners. Spies was a Turner and a promi- j
nent one before his incarceration. After
the death sentence was pronounced
against him and his companions, a friend
of Spies, Chairman John Glov and the
members of the Turners’ executive board
of this district, issued a circular to all
the subordinate Turning societies in this
vicinity, requesting them to notify the
board whether they favored the adoption
of a resolution declaring the verdict
against the anarchists to be unjust, and
asking for a new’ trial. The result was a
storm of protests agaiust the action of the
board. To-day the district convention
of the Turners was held for the purpose
of deciding and upon the question of impeach
ing board, and depositing especially the district Gloy, executive chair
John
man, for over-stepping their authority
and disgracing their office. Seventv-seveu
delegates were present, including society repre
sentatives from every Turner
wilhin a radius of fifty miles of Chicago.
After a stormy discussion, a resolution to
depose the executive board was carried
by a vote of 42 to 35, i

S iven . at 3; 15 a. m. Tuesday for a blaze
in the laundry of the St. Augustine hotel,
on nort R 8 ide °f the plaza. The
flames spread rapidly to the kitchen and
then to the main part of the building,
The fire department consisted ouly of a
hook aU(1 ladder and truck and one
Mansfield steam engine, and was soon on
the scene, but it was impossible to do
anything to save anything, which was al¬
ready wrapped in the flames. The guests,
numbering with the ninety, and forty servants,
Bridget exception of one laundry wo
man, Barry, escaped. By this
time the flames had crept through the
entire building and communicated to the
Edwards house and “The Cottage’ on
the north, frame buildings. These were
soon reduced to ashes and the flames
swept on northward to the Planters’
house and the Florida house annex.
Here the firemen and citizens, by heroic
efforts, succeeded in preventing the
flames from reaching the main building
of the Florida house, which is of wood
and only fifteen feet from the annex.
The next buildings to go were the First
National bank and one of the oldest land¬
marks in the ancient city—the old Span

gustine house. The roof caught and soon
fell, destroying interior. all of the old historic
relics in the The old chimes

of tke conflagration,
At this time the east wall of the St.
Augustine house, facing Charlotte street,
fell, carrying the flames to the Sinker
block on the opposite side, in which were
the stores of Gonzales & Benhayou; Moy
Yong’a restaurant; Vedder’s museum;
Buck’s restaurant; Davis’s barber shop;
Golderangs & Co.’s cigar factory; and
Speizenger’s drug store. All were com¬
pletely destroyed. Next Chamberlin's
grocery and Mrs. R. E. Carir’s residence
north of the Sinclair block, were destroy¬
ed. Returning to the west side of the
street the flames reached the old county
courthouse on the north, which was to¬
tally destroyed. The records, however, | :
were removed and saved. Vedder &
Compton’s the store and Welter’s restaurant, 1
on west side, burned also; but here
the lire was checked, and at 7:30 a. m.
was completely under control. The
losses, which will aggregate $250,000,
are, as nearly as can now be learned, as
follows:

Denver, Col.—A bloody riot occur¬
red Sunday night between rival Swedish, (
Polish and Hungarian colonies at 34th
and Blank street, which resulted in the
fatal shooting of one man and the serious
wounding of several others. It grew out
of a christening festivity. When the
christening party had eaten and drank,
they went out upon the sidewalk and
made war upon the inhabitants of a
neighboring house. Others in the neigh
borhood became involved and the up
roar became so great that it required a :
detachment with of a dozen police' armed
Winchester rifles to quell the dis
turbance. Three or four police first
made their appearance, when the rioters
postponed their contention and joined ! ;
forces against the common enemy. They
could not stand against a platoon of rifles :
however, and about thirty were lodged
in the calaboose and some in the hospi- j
