grantthem all licenses. "We must grantllcenses
where there Is a public necessity. If two men ap

license to a man who cannot work. Allow me to
say. though, that there will be not any Increase
lntbennmber of saloons, but rather a decrease.

-'hot the slightest Idea?"
"No, your Honor."

in order that any new men may get license, some
of these old saloon keepers must be knocked out.
Beside that, when I see men come np here, swell
ing with their fine clothes and glittering with
diamonds and gold. It docs not lmpres me favor
ablv In the least. I would much rather grant a
license to a poor man."
John Dunn, corner of Forty-eighth and Carlton
streets, was refused last year. Never knew why
he was retU6ed. He could not even guess. His
neighbors were disappointed because he did not
receive his licence. He has passed his time during

BARNACLES IN LIFE.'
Bev. W. E. Mackay, in a Eenten lec
ture, Advises the Young
HOW TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL MEN.
The Great Evils of Gambling and Intem
perance Condemned.
LIFE'S HANI DANGERS POINTED OUT
Kev.W. E. Mackay, of the St. Peter's
Episcopal Church, delivered a lecture last
evening under the auspices of the King's
Sons of St. Peter's Church. The subject
was "Barnacles." A large number of
young men were in attendance. The lecture
was both instructive and interesting.
The speaker first related the story of an
American ship which was lost at sea by
barnacles eating through its hull and caus
ing a leak. The loss of the ship was pre
dicted by an old sailor, who had taken a
barnacle from its hull. The barnacle, he
explained, was a harmless-looking, jelly
like mass of flesh inclosed in a soft shell.
With this as an example he drew as a
lesson the loss ol so many young men in
life. They start out with the brightest
prospects and hopes, like a ship which goes
down to the sea with her sails spread; their
character has barnacles, and, in a few
years, they are total wrecks. "You all
know young men of that kind," said he.
"There are workingmen in this city to-day
who are masters of their trades; who had
fine opportunities; but to-night they are
wrecks. '
"There are lawyers in this city who have
fine educations and golden chances in liie.
The Senate, the bench and Congress were
open to them; but they are wrecked.
IT APPLIES TO ALL.
"You may say the same of business men,
of ministers and of every other class.
There are boys in our colleges who are
wrecks before the graduating day. The
reason of all this is barnacles.
"The greatest barnacle to be dreaded is
gambling, in one form or another." The
speaker read an account of a manin an
Eastern city who had committed suicide be
cause he had lost at a lottery a letter was
addressed to his badly-injured wife. Mr.
Mackay said: "They always find out their
wives are badly injnred when it is
too late. Gambling is a passion whose
strength is immeasureable. Men will waste
all the money they have or can borrow at
the gambling table. They may have com
menced at matching pennies, and from that
pass to other games." The speaker
said he could see no harm in a
friendly game of cards, if there
is nothing staked on the result Men
commence by staking a small sum, and then
pass to greater ones. "While at college the
boys had a faro table in one of the upper
rooms, at which they gambled. First it
was a 5-cent limit, then 10, and on, until
early in the morning, when there was no
limit.
THE BOOZY BARNACLE.
Passing from the barnacle of gambling
the speaker took up the subject of intem
perance. He said he did not wish to preach
a temperance sermon, but only wanted to
point out a few of the evils. "The greatest
temperance sermon that can be preached,"
said he, "is the sight of a drunken sot in the
gutter, contrasted with an active, wide
awake business man."
"Koone," he said, "everproposedto become
a drunkard, nor is a man necessarily on his
way to ruin who takes a glass of beer or
wine. There are a great many good men
who do so; but many cannot withstand the
temptations, and they drink more than one
glass, and in time the habit,like a barnacle,
wrecks their life."
He made a short plea for the young men
to beware of these barnacles, and endeavor
to lead honest, upright lives, and be men in
the full sense of the word.
The subject of the next Friday evening
lecture is "A Xying Devil." The attend
ance at the lectures is increasing.
LIKE A TERRIBLE PLAGUE.
An Evangelist Delivers nn Address on In
temperance. Br. Ewing's church, the Collins Avenue
United Presbyterian, was filled with a large
audience last night to hear "W. S. Bailey,
the evangelist, in a talk against the saloon.
He spoke of the alarming power of the
saloon in breaking up happy homes, of
taking the life, energy and the'souls of the
people to the number of 100,000 every year
that it might prosper.
He likened the effect of drinking liquor
to a plague, but said that if the latter
caused as many deaths as the former, the
people would call meetings, open their
heart as well as purses and aid the sufferers
with money, food and clothing, and volun
teer as nurt.es Ho attend those who were suf
fering. He said a plagne of that kind
would be sent on by God and the people
could not help themselves; bnt the plague
bred by the saloon could be stopped.
FOR THE. MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Encouraging Success In Canvassing for
Takers of Private Boxes.

building.
Colonel Freret is somewhat proud of his rec
ord in regard to this building. Laborlngundcr
a mass of difficulties which be claims were not
recognized by his Pittsburg critics, he never
theless points with pride to the fact that he

A Colored Man Makes nn Interesting Ad
dress at an Allegheny Meeting.
A Constitutional amendment meeting
was held last evening in the Pirst Presbyte
rian Church, on Arch street, Allegheny,
under the auspices of the W. C. T. XT. The
meeting was addressed by Bev. John C.
Hector, a colored minister from York, Pa.
He related a number of amusing anecdotes,
which kept the audience in a good humor
during the evening. Speaking of the asser
tion that has been frequently made, that a
saloon is necessary for the public good, he
said:
"What in the name of common sense causes
you to close up Tom McCaffrey's or Malonev's
saloon on election day, if it Is for the public
good, when the whole public is out and can get
chock full of good. License was said to regu
late the business, but" said he, "you can't
regnlate it any more than you can regulate a
live eel, and the only way to regnlate an eel is
to kill it. So the only way to regnlate thehquor
traffic is to amend yonr State Constitution in
such a manner as to kill the business."
He wanted to know what the products of
the liquor business are. Thev were not on
exhibition at the Centennial, as those of
other businesses were; no one wheeled up a
wagon load of drunkards and exhibited
them in a glass case. If the business was
rieht, he added, the judge should get down
off tnat bench and let every man that
wanted go into it as he would in the dry
goods business, but if it was wrong he
should refuse every man a license no mat
ter what sum he had to pay.
Mr. Hector said that he drank for seven
years himself. In speaking of the effects of
liquor on himself, he said that he was the
first black man that ever fired an engine, or
ran one, on the Troy and Boston road, and
liquor made him get down out of the engine
cab, where he had no business at the throt
tle when liquor had him. He concluded
with a strong appeal for protection for the
American home, which, he said, is the
foundation of the American Government.
HE IS THERE STILL.

GOOD NEWS FOR CI1UHCHES.
The Vocation Has Come.
The anxiously awaited Vocalion Organ
has at length arrived. It is a glorious in
strument, both for power and delicacy of
tone. Its volume is simplv overwhelming
and will fill the biggest church. We put
it against any $2,500 pipe organ, and any
judge of the article will say that it fully
equals it, while it surpasses it in beauty of

D1YER BILL SHOT.
A Very Mysterious Shooting on the North
side Yesterday.
William Case, better known as "Diver
Bill," was shot in the head yesterday, the
bullet lodginz above the right eye, and the
wound is not serious. But little is known
of the shooting, as Case refused to talk on
the subject. He resides attheibot of Green
wood street in (Allegheny, but when in
trouble of any kind goes to his mother's
house on James street. He came in last
evening and said he had been shot, but re
fused to tell anything about it. His face
was covered with blood and his mother sent
a neighbor for City Physician Woodburn.
The doctor said he would get the patrol
wagon and remove the man to the hospital.
The wagon was called, bnt when the bouse
was reached Case had escaped. Dr. Wood
burn, in explaining the matter, said: "Case
had his arm broken some time ago and was
sent to a hospital. He afterward complained
that he had not been treated properly, and,
therefore, had a dread for institutions of
that kind. When the messenger announced
that he would be taken to the hospital he
ran out of the house."
It was said he had been shotrat Coulter's
boat house, but Mr. Coulter said last night
that no person had been in his house all
day. The Allegheny police are investigat
ing the matter.
BROWN BOBS UP.
The Old Ex-Governor of Tennessee la ns
Strong a Democrat as Ever.
Old Brown, of Tennessee, once Governor
of the State, and now receiver of the Texas
Pacific road, was a passenger on the Eastern
express last night for New York.
In response to a question he said: "No, I
am not going to Washington in search of an
office. This administration would have
nothing to do with an old Democrat like
me. I think the Southern Senators were
right in protesting against the confirmation
of Whitelaw Beid.. He doesn't represent
the people. He is' all for Beid and tbe
Tribune. This paper is not an exponent of
Bepnblicanism."
