Why He Became in Abstainer.
I'ean Fitrrar, ot WiBtiniimter
who is ont of tl)0 irinet prominent,
aw hb id ulto one of the Iwet known
cleruvftien in tho Church of Eng-
land.' tullri in the lt.llowinir worda
hy lie becunio a total abBtainer
tionie years (tinctt from all species of
intoxicating liquor, bays the Dean
"About ten years airo or more
became a total abstainer liecause I
wag easily- convinced that the Ute ot
alcohol was not a necessity, and
wrest deal turns upon that. I sw,
lor iiiRtanee, that whule nations had
not only lived without it, but bad
llnurihhed without it. I eaw the
reinarkable fact that thero were
Mime 2,II00 persons in England,
who, tlimiuh many of them had
ti. ado themxeiveg mere funnels for
tlrink, though moi-t of them had
been ht'tMistometl to drink from
their childhood, tho.igb inobt ot
them hail been brought to prison
-irhcr directly or indirectly, through
drink, yet the very day that thev
entered the gntes of a prison all
drink was entirely taken from them,
and yet there was not at-ingle in
stance on record in which any ot
em had antfurtd iu cotist qiienee
On the contrary, mm who have
entered prisons sickly nnd blighted
have been made couipulsorily sober
iv act of Parliament, and after a
lew months left prison hale and
etroni; and hearty ; and women who
hare been put into prison perfectly
lornhlo and hideous in their loath
someness and degradation, afier a
i-hort period of deprivation from the
source ol their ruin, left prison with
he hloom of health and almost ot
oeauty. All theso proofs aud many
chers convinced me very speedily
that it was not necessary for me to
, n t i i, ii to touch any form of
alcohol. 'Twas the gteat philan
thropist aud politically wine Hen
jam i i Franklin who used the words,
Turn eraiiec puts wood on the tire,
ueal in the barrel, flour in the tub,
ni'iiiey iu the purse, contentment iu
the hoiiKc. ttni clothes on the
Iwirns.' Well, then, coming to
these coi. cliicions, believing that
total alM-tinmce would tend to
simplici'y of lite, to health, to
strength ot body, to clearness of
mind, to length of days, I then saw
that for me, at any rate, it became a
desirable thing to give up alcohol
altoiretlier, and I did so, tor these
reiRons, with perfect gladnes1, and
W'lhoiit ever having suffered in
consequence of the fact so much as

A Kind Voice.
There is no power of love so hard
to tret and to keep as a kind voice.
A kind hand is deaf and dnmh. It
may be rough in flesh and blood,
yet do the work of a soft heart, and
do it with a soft touch. But ihere
is no one tiling that love so much
needs as a sweet voice to tell what
it means and feels, and it is hard 1 1
g-1 at'd keep it in the riht tone.
One must start in youth and be on
the watch night and day, at work
and at play, to get and keep a voice
that shall speak at all times the
t bought ot a kind heart. It is often
i'i youth that ono gets a voice or a
tone that is sharp, and it sticks to
him through life, and stirs up ill
w ill and grief, an J falls like a drop
ot gall on the sweets of home.
Watch it day by day as a pearl of
treat price, for it will Ims worth
more to you iu days to Come than
the last pearl in ail the seas. A
kind voice i to the heart what
light is t the eye. It is a light
that singae well as shines. Elihu

ALL IN THE MINE KILLED.
A Ttrribls Explosion and Firs in C-l
Mine-Fifty .Men Surel; Kifld
Rescuers Unable to Enter
the Mine.
A New Castle, Col., special of
Feb. 18, says: The Vulcan coal
mine, located in the ''Hog Pack"
just below town, was wrecked and
set fire by a terrific gas explosion
shortly after 11 o'clock to-day.
About fifty men, including firemen
and coal operators, were in the
several rooms along the slope when
the explosion occurred, and so great
was the detonation that not a single
man could have survived the shock,
the gas or tho tiro which immedi
ately ensued.
Witn the exception of a few
basses, the killed are Itsliang, but,
in the contusion and excitement, it
is impossible at this time to make
a rosier ot the names.
The town of New Castle was
shaken as if by an earthquake by
the explosion and a dense black
cloud obscured the sight of the Vul
can mine and workings, indicating
only too plainly what had occurred.
Tho entire population rushed to the
scene to behold the surface work
men in the midst of a thick cloud
of dust trying iu vain to start the
work of rescuing their unfortunato
fellow laborers within. The earth
had settled perceptibly near the
hillside, and the dense volume of
black smoke issuing from cr evicts
in the upheaved mass gave evidence
that the coal vein had surely been
set afire by the explosion. Women
aud children rushed shrieking to
the scene adding to the condition.
The mine owned by tho Colorado
Coal and Fuel company, two anil a
half miles away was promptly closed
down, and all hands riihhed to assist
Superintendent Ilerrick ot the Vul
can in the woik of rescuing. It
was quickly seen that but little
could be done. Ilerrick, with sev
eral men, had torn away the burn
ing timber at tho landing and had
rushed into the slope soon after the
explosion had occurred with wet
sponges on their nostrils, only to be
driven back again by the deadly
fumes.
A special train was sent to the
mine by the Colorado Midland
Railway company with medical aid
prepared to assist in caring for the
wounded, if any were rescued, but
the sun went down behind tlm
mountains before any o(ening could
be made.
The force of the explosion may be
imagined when il is known that the
buildings and trestle at the mouth
of the bI'ijh) were wrecked, a hole
100 ieet square carved out of the
hill side at the mouth of the incline,
while timbers two teet square were
blown into the Grand river, 400
teet away. One miner was on his
way down the slope when the ex
plosion occurred and his mangled
remains were soon found several
hundred feet from the mouth of the
slope. There were 140 men t in
ployed in and about tho mine at the
lit", and about tilty were at work
under ground this morning.
State Oal Mine Tusi-eetor Grif
fith was here February Sth and
pronounced the mine in better con
dition than it had ever been before.
An immense fan in the slope which
was about 5K) feet in depth, seemed
to affird ventila'ioii and eveiy
post-ib'e precaution was taken to
prevent an explosion of the gas
known to exist iu the mines of this
district. It is lelieved that a high
lighted fuse ignited the gas in one
of the new rooms while the men
were blasting down coal.
Just at this time the mine was
being worked to its full capacity,
the output being from seventeen to
twenty cars per day.
Latkb I he ut of the dead, as
Dear as can be estimated thU even
ing, is in the neighborhood of sixty.
The names of the men were only
known to the pit bo, James Har
rison, whose body lies with his dead
ccturadca iu the bottom of the ill
tted mine and can only be a-cer-1
tained by the recovery of the bodies, j
I fie entire slope is bHed with
debris. It is pretty evident many
lavs mubt elatise bcfoie the bodies
of the entombed miners can be
rescued. Since darkness fell the
smoke seems to have perceptibly
dsminifched and t may be that the
fire will not deftrof the proterty,
as was feared earlier in the day, but
the force of the explosion was
sufficient in itself to destroy the
mine and new wot kings will have
to be started.

ELOQUENT GENERAL GORDON
AT WINSTON. "LAST DAYS OF THE
CONFEDERACY" WAS HIS
THEME.
The ladies i f the Twin City Hos
pital deserve tho thanks of this
community for securing Oen. Gor
don to deliver his matchless lecture,
I lie Last Days of the Confeder
acy, in Winston.
tho number of men. women and
children who heard (Jen. Gordon
was no less than 500. This included
many old Confederate veterans who
were provided with seats near the
Seaker. '
1 ho crowd begin to gather at 7
o'clock, and by (j the Armory was
nearly tilled with humanity. ISo
lecturer ever received a more cordial
welcome in the Twin City.
When Hon. Uordon made his
appearance tho soldiers arose and
gave him a warm aud cordial wel
come. . Ho waa int-oduced by Hon.
0. il. atson in a very happy and
appropriate style in well chosen
words anc in an address that all
thought was just the right thing for
the occasion. When Mr. Wat-ton
iook ins seat, lien. Uordon arose
ii 1 1 i
and said :
"Ladies, comrades aud fellow-
countrymen : I thank my friend
for his too partial wrds and vou
for your magnificent reception.
Whatever I have been to this peo
ple in peace or war, God being my
helper, I will bo to the end. Ap-plati-e.l
I am he ro to talk to you
of war, but my mission is one of
peace. It is not my purpose to deal
with the great battles ot the Con
federacy arid its "verthrow, but the
incidents and characteristics which
illustrate the points on the field
from '61 to V5. Every one of
your soldiers who fell on thut great
field became a martyr to the truth as
he understood it. He has, thank
God, left behind him a history
never paralleled, and which the
lapse of ages will not obliterate."
The speaker first took his audi
ence to the cattle-covered hills of
Pennsylvania "the promised land"
-into which the Southerner looked
nd "longed to enter and possess."
With fine wit he dwelt upon recip
rocity in visits between "Yankee
Doodle and Dixie," aud the recep
tions each accorded the other,
especially that of "one McClellaii"
which made the Confederates decide
to postpone calls to "a more con
venient season." "We crossed the
Potomac, rapidly and cheerfully,
aud came back more rapidly but
less cheerfully."
The speaker paid a glowing
tribute to the women of the South,
sjieiking of their brave sacrifices
and "saictly sprit of martyrdom,"
as they bravely faced their late.
Gen. Gordon did not iu his grand
and glorious tributes to the great
chieftains forget the private sol
diers.
"All honor to them" he said.
"They had nothing to mark their
rank but the n.ipSKck, the cartridge
at the belt, the rifle iu hand, and
yet they wrote the history of the
nation in their blood."
Graphically and with vivid de
scriptive powers he described the
last Council of war held by Con
federates. The climax of the lecture, and a
scene a described by Gen. Gordon
never to be forgotten, was the sur
render. The pictures of Ix?e artd
Grant, bow vivid! how gran i !
I-ee, be said, would have been taken
tor the victor ; Grant the vanquish
ed. "Lee, bearing npon his great
bosom a weight ot woe, and yet how
grand ! I hud seen him in defeat
aud in victory, and yet I had never
seen him look like that before.
Duty to his God, his country was
the guiding star npon which the eye
of Robert E. Lee was ever fixed."
Then followed a description of the
great chieftain which none who
heard fsan target, and a tribute to
the greatnees of bis foe (ten.
Grant which was as grand as it
was merited- To the Union general
he ascribed nobility of soul which
only a great man, such as he was,
could possess.
"And now,"eaid he, "looking in
to the future, we have furled that
banner for ave; (jointing to the
Confederate flag) not iu dishonor,
bu in immortal glory. And now I
point you to another flag, the 'Star
and Stripe,' which were bom .f a
memorial of a Southern man
Uertrji Washington." Applause.
The speaker then in his own
matchless way and with surpassing
beauty of idea and words, iaij a
beautiiul tribute to the "Star
Spanifled Ilauner," the potential
emblem of freedom which floats
over Southland aud Northland, and
which is the pride of both. Wi-i

A $118,000 Puzzle.
In tho Superior Court ot San
Francisco, the ownership of tho
large sum of $118,000 depends upon
the grammatical construction ot one
small word in a contract. It is the
word ''their" in the following sen
tence: "And at their option the
Adams Company is to have the use
of all the machinery aud coal hoist
ing apparatus now in use by tho
Southern companies." The ques
tion to be decided is whether the
word "their" refers to the Adams
company or tho Southern com
panies. An account of the queer case eays:
"The Southern companies teferred
to have the money which is at stake,
and it the jury decide that the
"their" refers to them, they will
keep it. If they hold that their"
refers to the Adams Company, then
the Adams Company will get it.
The sentence occurs in a contract
betweeii the Adams Company and
the Southern Pacific railroad com
pany for five years. The account
adds:
"It is said that the Southern
Pacific company's lawyer did not see
the possibilities in the queer bit of
grammar until long after litigation
had been begun. In the sentence
under dispute appears the words.
'Adams Company is' and the South
ern companies claim that the word
company is therefore written in the
singular sense and the word 'their'
cannot apply to it If the writer
had meant to apply to the Adams
Company he would have used the
word 'its insteid of 'their, the
other side claims that the word
their must refer to the Adams
Company, because the latter is the
nearest noun to the disputed pro
noun."
You hear it almost everywhere,
and read it in the newspapers, that

A Young Man Hurled to His Death.
Fiom Mr. Hal M. Worth, who is
here to day, we learn of a rnest dis
trcst'iig accident at Mill No 2 of
tho Worth Manufacturing Com
pany, situated at Central Falls,
which occurred yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock.
Oscar Welch, aged 22 years, one
of the operatives, against exprees
orders to tho c mtrary, was trying
to adjust a belt on a pulley, when
his m in wa caught. In atwinkling
it was torn oil between tho wrist
nnd elbow and he was whirled
nronnd the nLnl't which was making
2"0 revolutions to tho minute.
Ilesidea his arm being torn off, he
wts injured internally, while the
arm, between the elbow and shoul
der, was broken in several places.
It is also thought his right lung waa
punctured.
Drs. Hubbard and Fox wero im
mediately summoned aud did all in
their power fur the sufferer, but lie
died at 3 p. m.
Tho Hint dUtrcsaintr part of tho
affair was that his wife, to whom he
was married only lift Christmas,
was working by his side and saw
the whole terrible aff.iir.
Positive instructions are given in
the mill thut no one is to try to ad
just a licit except the foreman of
the room, but it is supposed young
Welch was impatient to get his
machine going and concluded to
attend to it himself. Greenslioro

which a dor-e or two of A) er's Cher

sure remedy always at hand to meet
