Oole was pastor of the Congregational
church at Dwlght, 111., where 'he mot
8,000 men taking treatment for drunk
enness and became so Interested in this
cause of rescue that he has 'been lec
turing through Tennessee and Penn

Rev.Mr. Colo poke for forty min
utes on, this great discovery called the
Keeley cure, which Bishop Newman,
of the Methodist Episcopal church calls
the greatest beneficent discovery of the
century. Heeald:
"'All the great discoveries In science
are children of this century, except as
tronomy. When typhoid fever Is hunt
ed to its hatching beds and in a meas
ure conquered by medical science Why
ehould not the body vvlilch is the
temple for the IHoly Spirit have its
walls restored and built up. Though
come people think science and religion
are distinct realms they are really one.
In answer to the prayers of the church
and many 'broken (hearts 270,000 men
have been rescued. iFlve states pro
vide this cure for the Indigent inebriate
at the expense of tho state. namely.
Colorado, MaryJand, Louisiana, North
Dakota, Mtnneeota.
The United States government pro
vides the cure in seven of the national
homes and) twenty-six mf the state
homes for disabled soldiers. The Epis
copal church In Pittsburg In Its Broth
erhood of St. Andrew's mission, on Wy-
lle avenue, has united with the Keeley
league and has rescued several chronic
drunkards."
uMr. Cole "poke of Webster, Byron,
Thackery, Foe, Tasso, (Alexander, who
were slain 'by wine. Henry warn
Beeoher eaild: ',Ood deail with nature
by force; wiitfh ihalf-clvJlized men by
fear, but with civilized men wfl'th sym
pathy." "We ehould do the same,"
said Mr. Cole, "with the paloon we
should use the dynamite of public opin
ion: wltih the Whlld the pledge ami

The Keeley league is tiot an organiza

while men are drowning and dying
daily. It ils not the foody guard of Dr.
Keeley. though he has Mione more than
Wellington, who conquered at Water

who are thaltltis men on the rough way

where their wounds can. be dressed.
The non-pa.rtlsa.li Woman's Christian.
Temperance association has a rescue
department which has done much drt
resouinsr men from the slavery of

Rev. Mr. Cole encouraged the work
of the league 'In th4lr tobor of love. Bind
closed by quoting from Longfellow the

of Con McFadden that John Kernell,
the originator of the character, did.
A feature of the performance was a
parody on Trilby, Gus Mills, the female
impersonator, assuming the title role.
(Many up-to-date specialties and new
Bones and dances were introduced

FIREMEN'S PERSONAL TAX.
It Is Now the Uppermost Topie In Fire
Department Circles.
During the present week the fire de
partment committee of common council
will take 'Into consideration the reso
lution exonerating firemen from per
sonal tax. Introduced by (Mr. Robin
son at the last meeting, and referred
for.amend'ment.
One of the provisions of the measure
is 'that paid firemen shall not be elig
ible to the exoneration. This clause
was disapproved of by a number of the
councilmen, particularly Mr. Oliver,
who contended that 'hf exceptions were
made 'In the case of paid firemen all
other firemen receiving pay from the
city, euch as the chief engineer, police
officers and city hall clerks, and the
like, should likewise be excluded from
the 'benefits of the exoneration.
'Ohtlef Ferfoer also holds this view of
the question. Bald he; "Why ehould I
be exempt from this personal tax, and
stokers and engineers, who receive
eight or ten dollars a month, not have
the 'benefit of the exemption? I do not
want to be a dog In the manger, but it
is certainly only fair to refuse to ex
onerate every man In the fire depart
ment who is under city pay if you cut
oft one or two classes of men.
I say let every man who Is a member
of the volunteer association, and who
has done three years' service, be ex
empt from the tax or else none at all.
Tho poor board did not discriminate
against the poorly paid permanent men
and I don't think the city ehould."
Instead of including the city em
ployes In tho non-exemption clause it
is altogether likely that the commit
tee will extend the exemption to all.

INSANE TAUGHT TO DRILL.
Military Discipline and Pleasant
Dcversioa from the One Source.
' Superintendent George W. Beemer of
the Hillside Home la putting into prac
tice a novel diversion for the Insane, a
military drill. Tbe male patients drill
with swords, wooden ones of course,
and the women are armed with their
favorite weapon, brooms.
In addition to serving as a diversion
for the long wintry evenings it will also
tend to develop a better discipline,
which is particularly needful on the
country walks which are taken in fair
weather. If they can but be taught to
keep step much of the worry over
broken ranks on outing days will dis
appear. The idea is altogether new,
and Is original with Mr. Beemer. He
says that his soldiers are already tak
ing a great interest in the drill and are
making excellent headway in the man
ual. The only trouble Mr. Beemer fears
Is that they will nil want to become
generals. At present the atendants act
as oflicers. Later on he will have elec
tions for officers and if the interest con
tinues will provide them with uni
forms. HAD READ NOVELS.
