Senator Tillman Recommends
Dispensary System
for Washington.
Washington special in Hie News
and Courier :
In a sixty minute speech here
to-night before an audience of
, about 1,500 people, which had
gathered to hear him speak on
prohibition in the District of
Columbia, Senator Tillman
strongly advocated the abolishment
of 700 or more caloonR now
licensed here and the substitution
of a dispensary system similar
to that in operation in many
of tho counties in South Carolina
at this time.
A large part of Senator Till
man's speech was taken up in
reviewing the situation in South
Carolina lrom 1893, the time
when the S'afe*4 dispensary law
went into effect, until last year
when by legislative enactment it
wont out of oxisteuce.
lie said that at tlie election
lu Id at the beginning of bis sec
or d term as Governor of South
Carolina 35,000 people voted for
prohibition and that at )eat,t 25,000
or 30,000 did not vote on the
o iestion at all, and thai as ho
J ?
d'd not consider that a /air show
o strength on the question he
hud the Legislature pass the dispensary
1 w. This law lie upheld
ill all of its (1 tails until ju -t bebefore
it was abolished, when
the people sent 'dying and dishonest
representatives tothe Leg.
islalure and the administration of
the dispensary's affairs became
full of dishonesty and mismanagement.
"
Senator Tillman paid his re
6pecte to the newspapers of the
State, the druggists, some of the
preachers and to thoRe who had
opposed the e9' abllshment of the
dispensary, and who fought for its
death, in characteristic lan
guage.
The Boyertown Theatre Dis
aster Much "Worse than
First Reported.
Boyertown, 1'a J m 14.?When
nightfall put a stop to the work
o! recovering tl e dead from the
ruins of the Rhoades opera house,
where last night's holocaust oc.
curred, the < fficial roll of vie
tims numbered 107. Whether
any more b<dies are buried be
neath the ru ns cannot be positively
stated, but it is believed
that the total list, of victims will
not go above 170. The ratio of
women and girls to men and hoys
is aboutj. 9 to 1. The work ol
identification will not be begun
until to-morrow, as most of the
bodies are still lying-in a confused
state at the four improvised
morgues.
The inhabitants',of the little
borough in the Berks county hills
are to-night steepedjin grief. The
calamity ha9 paralyzed the little
t >wn of 2,500 people. The inhabitants
scarcely realize what
has happened.^Everybody in
the place lost ^one^or more ot
their relatives, orjwas intimately
acquainted with those who died
in the fire. In several cases
whole families have been wiped
out.

enough to let the priest catch
him coming out ot a saloon with
a jug under his arm. The priest
waited for him to come by and
said :
"Pa*-, what is it you have in
that jug ?"
"Whiskey, sor," answered Pat
' Whom does it belong to?"
asked the goo 1 man.
"To me and me brudler, Moike,
sor."
"Well, say, Pat, pour yours
out, and be,a good man."
"I can't, sor ; mine's on the
bottom," answered Pat.
